Divine Will for every day of the year - August 27, 1926 Volume 19

As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made me see the reverend father who must occupy himself with the printing of the writings on the adorable Will of God. And Jesus, placing Himself near him, said to him: “My son, the title you will give to the book you will print about My Will is this: ‘The Kingdom of My Divine Will in the midst of creatures. Book of Heaven. The call of the creature to theorder, the place and the purpose for which he was created by God’. See, I want the title also to correspond to the great work of My Will. I want the creature to comprehend that his place, assigned to him by God, is in My Will, and until he enters into It, he will be without place, without order, without purpose; he will be an intruder in the Creation, with no right at all, and therefore he will go wandering without peace, without inheritance. And I, moved to compassion for him, will cry out to him continuously: ‘Enter into your place, come into the order, come to take your inheritance – to live in your house. Why do you want to live in a foreign house? Why do you want to occupy a land that is not yours? And because it is not yours, you live unhappy, and you are the servant and the laughing-stock of all created things. All things created by Me, because they remain in their place, are in order and in perfect harmony, with all the fullness of their goods, assigned to them by God. You alone want to be unhappy–but of a voluntary unhappiness. Therefore come to your place–it is there that I call you and await you’. Therefore, he or she who will offer to make My Will known, will be My spokesperson, and I will entrust to them the secrets of Its Kingdom.”

Then, after this, He showed the whole Creation – how all created things remain in their place, wanted by God, and therefore in perfect order and in perfect harmony among themselves. And because they remain in their place, the Supreme Will maintains their existence whole, beautiful, fresh and ever new; and order brings communal happiness and universal strength to all. What enchantment to see the order, the harmony of all Creation! And Jesus, resuming His speaking, added: “My daughter, how beautiful are Our works – they are Our honor and Our perennial glory. All of them remain at their place, and each created thing fulfills its office perfectly. Man alone is Our dishonor in Our creative work, because by withdrawing from Our Will, he walks upside down, with his head down on the earth and his feet up in the air. What disorder! What disorder! It is disgusting to see him. By walking with his head upside down, he crawls on the earth, he becomes all upset, he transforms himself. His sight lacks the necessary span to be able to look; he cannot move around in space in order to know things, nor defend himself if his enemy is behind his shoulders; and he cannot go too far, because – poor one – he has to drag himself with his head instead of walking, because the office of walking belongs to the feet, while that of the head is to dominate. So, doing his own will is the true and perfect tumble of man, and the disorder of the human family. This is why I care so much that My Will be known – so that he may return to his place, no longer dragging himself with his head upside down, but walking on his feet; no longer forming My dishonor and his, but My honor and his. Look, yourself: do creatures not look ugly, in seeing them walk with their heads on the ground? Don’t you too feel sorry in seeing them so disordered?”

I looked, and I saw the heads down and the feet up in the air. Jesus disappeared, and I remained looking at this ugly scene of the human generations; and from the heart I prayed that His Will may be known.

Out of obedience, I was reviewing, in my writings, that which I had to mark so that it might be copied; and I thought to myself: “What is the purpose of so many sacrifices? What good will come from them?” And while I was thinking and doing this, blessed Jesus took my hand in His, and squeezing it tightly told me: "My daughter, just as the flower, when touched, gives off its fragrance with greater intensity — so much so that, if it is not touched, it seems that it does not contain so much fragrance, and the air does not receive the balm by that scent — the same for My Truths: the more one thinks about them, reads them, writes them, talks about them, and diffuses them, the more fragrance they give off, in such a way as to perfume everything and reach even into Heaven. And I smell the fragrance of My Truths, and I feel like manifesting more Truths, in seeing that the Truths I manifested spread the light and the fragrance which they contain. On the other hand, if My Truths are not touched, the fragrance and the light remain as though compressed and do not spread; the good and the utility which My Truths contain remain without effect, and I feel defrauded of the purpose for which I manifested My Truths. Therefore, if only to let Me smell the fragrance of My Words and make Me content, you should be happy to make the sacrifice."

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 25, 1929 Volume 26

I was thinking about the Divine Fiat and how Its Kingdom could ever be realized upon earth. It seemed impossible to me—first, because there is no one who occupies himself with making It known, and if anything is said or planned, it all resolves into words, while facts are—oh! how far away, and who knows which generation will have the good of knowing what regards the knowledges about the Divine Will and Its Kingdom; second, it seems to me that the earth is unprepared, and I believe that in order to have such a great Good— that the Kingdom of the Divine Will, Its knowledges, dominate the earth—who knows how many prodigies will precede it!

But while I was thinking about this and other things, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and told me: “My daughter, you must know that My coming upon earth and everything I did in Redemption, My very Death and Resurrection, was nothing other than preparatory act for the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and when I formed the ‘Our Father,’ I formed the seed of the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat in the midst of creatures.

“And if, when I speak, I create and I make the greatest, most beautiful and marvelous works come out of nothing, much more so when, with the empire of My speaking prayer, I have the virtue of creating what I want. Therefore, the seed of the Kingdom of My Will was created by Me in the act of My praying, as I formed and recited the ‘Our Father.’ And if I taught it to the Apostles, it was so that the Church, by reciting it, might water and fecundate this seed, and they might dispose themselves to model their lives according to the dispositions of My Divine Fiat.

“My knowledges about It, My many manifestations, have developed this seed; and since they have been accompanied by the acts done by you in My Divine Will, so many little grains have formed as to form a great mass, from which each one can take his part—always if they want to—in order to live of the Life of the Divine Will. Therefore, everything is there, My daughter—the most necessary acts. There is the seed created by Me, because if there is no seed, it is useless to hope for the plant; but if the seed is there, it takes work, the will of wanting the fruit of that seed; and one is sure of having the plant, because, by possessing the seed, one has in his power the life of the plant of that seed.

“There are those who water this seed in order to make it grow—each ‘Our Father’ that is recited serves to water it; there are My manifestations in order to make it known. All that is needed are those who would offer themselves to be the criers—and with courage, without fearing anything, facing sacrifices in order to make it known. So, the substantial part is there—the greatest is there; the minor is needed—that is, the superficial part, and your Jesus will know how to make His way in order to find he who will accomplish the mission of making known My Divine Will in the midst of the peoples.

“Therefore, on your part, do not place any obstacle—do what you can, and I will do the rest. You do not know how I will overwhelm things and will dispose the circumstances, and this is why you reach the point of doubting that My Fiat will be known and Its Kingdom will have Its life upon earth.”

Then, I abandoned all of myself in the Divine Volition in order to follow Its Acts, and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, one who places himself in the Unity of My Will, places himself in the Light; and just as the light has the virtue of descending down below and of laying itself like a mantle of light over each thing it invests, so it has the virtue of rising up high and of investing with its light what is up high.

“In the same way, one who places himself in the Light of My Fiat, in Its Unity of Light, with his acts descends down below to all generations, and with his acts of Light he invests everyone in order to do good to all; and he rises up high and invests the whole of Heaven to glorify all. Therefore, in My Divine Will the soul acquires the right to be able to offer the Light of the Eternal Fiat to all, through the gift of her acts multiplied into as many as are those who want to receive It.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 24, 1915 Volume 11

[Jesus speaking]

“How can those words which I pronounced in creating man, ‘We make man in Our Image and Likeness,’ be explained? How could the creature, so incapable, ever resemble Me and be My image? Only in My Will could she arrive at this, because by making It her own, she arrives at acting in the Divine manner; and through the repetition of these Divine Acts she arrives at resembling Me, becoming My perfect image. It happens as to that child who, by repeating the acts which he observes in his teacher, becomes like him. So, the only thing that makes the creature be like Me is My Will. This is why I have so much interest that the creature, making It her own, may fulfill the purpose for which she was created."

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 23, 1928 Volume 24

After this, I was concerned about the publication of the writings on the Will of God—especially about certain contrasts; and as I started to pray, my sweet Jesus made Himself seen holding His Heart with His hands, so great was the sorrow He felt; and, all afflicted, He told me: “My daughter, how sorrowful I feel. They should have considered themselves honored, and should have boasted about and gloried in making themselves known as the ones who have this great honor to publish the truths on My Holy Will. I could not have given them a greater honor and glory than calling them to an office so high—but instead, they want to hide.

“How My Heart aches; I feel so much sorrow that I cannot contain it. The truths about My Fiat are the new Gospel of the Kingdom of My Divine Will, in which they will find the norms, the Sun, the Teachings on how to ennoble themselves, elevate themselves to their origin, and take the state given to them by God at the beginning of Creation. They will find the Gospel that, taking them by the hand, will lead them into True Happiness, into constant Peace. The only law will be My Will that, with Its brush of Love, dipped in the vivid colors of Its Light, will give back to man the Likeness of his Creator. Oh! how they should have yearned to receive and to make known a Good so great. But, instead, all the opposite.

“In Redemption, the Evangelists considered themselves honored to make themselves known as the ones who were putting out the Gospel, that It might be known by the whole world; and with glory they marked their names, so much so, that when the Gospel is preached, the name of the one who wrote It is stated first, and then is the Gospel spoken. So I want it to be done with the Truths about My Will, that everyone may know who the ones are that brought so much good into the world.

“But what do you think this is? All human prudence. Ah! how many Divine Works the human prudence has caused to fail in the midst of creatures. Like sluggards, they have reached the point of withdrawing from the holiest works. But My Will will know how to triumph of everything and make a mockery of them; however, I cannot hide the sorrow for such great human ingratitude at a good so great.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 22, 1931 Volume 29

My abandonment in the Divine Volition continues, and I try as much as I can to unite my little acts to those of the Divine Will, so as to form a single one with Its acts, almost to be able to say: “Whatever You do, I do. I plunge myself into Your Light in order to extend myself together with You, and in this way I can embrace and love all with Your own Will.”

But while I was doing this, my beloved Jesus told me: “My daughter, the acts done in My Divine Will have such virtue and power as to transform themselves into Divine Messengers, that set off from the earth for the vault of the Heavens. And since these messengers set off from within My Divine Will, but sent by a creature who operates and lives in It, they bring with themselves free entrance into Our Celestial Fatherland, and bring the happy news that the earth wants the Kingdom of Our Will, because a little exiled one lives and operates in It, and does nothing but make use of that same Will that reigns in Heaven in order to ask that It may descend to reign upon earth as It reigns in Heaven. These messengers of Light—how many secrets do they not hide! Already on its own, the Light of Our Divine Will is the secretary of all things, Divine and human, and it knows how to keep the true secret; and while in appearance one sees light, inside this Light it hides all secrets and all things—no one can escape it. This Light contains the great secret of the whole history of Creation, and it confides its secrets only to one who wants to live in Its Light. In fact, the Light has the virtue of disposing the creature to live and to comprehend its Divine Secrets, and, if needed, it will dispose her to lay down her life so that it may give life to its intimate secrets and to the purpose of Creation, which was only that Our Will would reign on earth as It does in Heaven.

“Therefore, My daughter, if you remain attentive to live always of My Will, It will entrust to you all the secrets of the history of Creation, It will make in your soul the deposit of all Its joys and Its intimate sorrows, and, as to Its own secretary, with Its vibrating Light, transforming Itself into brush, It will paint in you the sun, the heavens, the stars, the sea, the beautiful flowerings. In fact, when It speaks, It is not content with only words; to Its inextinguishable Love and to Its interminable Light words are not enough, but It wants to do deeds; and therefore, with Its Creative Virtue, while It entrusts Its secrets, It speaks and forms the New Creation in the creature. It is not content with telling Its secrets, but It wants to do the works that Its secrets contain. Therefore, in the creature who lives in My Will, new heavens, suns more refulgent than the very Creation, will be seen. In fact, you must know that My Will has a yearning, an ardent desire, of wanting to always operate; but It keeps looking for one who wants to listen to It, and who wants to receive Its Creative Virtue, so as not to expose Its Works to uselessness. And in order to be sure, It keeps looking for Its own Will in the soul; and, in finding It, It finds Its works secured by Its same Divine Fiat; therefore It spares Itself in nothing, and there It does the most beautiful Works and the greatest Prodigies. Oh! Power of My Omnipotent Will—if all knew You, loved You and let You reign, the earth would turn into Heaven.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 21, 1901 Volume 4

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself. After going round and round in search of Jesus, I found the Queen Mama instead, and oppressed and tired as I was, I said to Her: “My most sweet Mama, I lost the way to find Jesus; I don’t know where else to go, nor what to do in order to find Him again.”

While saying this, I was crying, and She said to me: "My daughter, follow Me and you will find the way, and Jesus. Even more, I want to teach you the secret of how you can always be with Jesus, and live always content and happy , even on this earth: fix in your interior that there is only Jesus and you in the world, and no one else; and that Him alone must you please, satisfy and love, and from Him alone must you expect to be loved in return and contented in everything. If you are in this way with Jesus, you will no longer be affected, whether you are surrounded by scorns or praises, by relatives or strangers, by friends or enemies. Jesus alone will be all your contentment, and Jesus alone will be enough for you in the place of all. My daughter, until everything that exists down here disappears completely in the soul, one cannot find true and perpetual contentment."

Now, while She was saying this, Jesus came into our midst as though from within a flash. I took Him and brought Him with me, and I found myself inside myself.

Continuing, my always adorable Jesus, as He came, told me: "My daughter, how sorry I feel in seeing the soul huddled within herself, and operating by herself. While I am close to her and look at her, seeing that many times she is unable to do well what she does, I wait for her to call Me and say: ‘I want to do this thing, but I am unable do it. Come and do it with me, and I’ll do everything well. For example: I want to love; come to love together with me. I want to pray; come and pray together with me. I want to make this sacrifice; come and give me your strength, for I feel weak...’ and so forth with everything else. Gladly and with greatest delight, I would offer Myself for everything.

“I am like the teacher who assigned an essay to his pupil, remaining close to him to see what his pupil does. Unable to do well, the pupil gets worried, worked up, upset, and he may even cry, but he doesn’t say: ‘Master, teach me how I should do this.’ What is not the mortification of the teacher, in feeling treated like a nothing by his student? Such is My condition."

Then He added: "It is said: man proposes, God disposes. As soon as the soul proposes to do some good — to be holy — I immediately dispose the things that are needed around her: light, graces, knowledge of Me, detachments. And if I do not achieve the purpose with these, then by means of mortifications I do not deny anything to that soul, in order to grant her what she had proposed. But, oh, how many forcefully escape from this crafting that My Love has woven around them! Few are those who do not give up and let Me accomplish My Work."

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 19, 1908 Volume 8

Having done my meditation on the fact that one who sows good will harvest good, and one who sows vices will harvest evils, I was thinking about what good I could sow, given my position, my misery and inability. At that moment, I felt I was being harvested, and I heard Him say in my interior: "The soul must sow good with her whole being – with all of it. The soul possesses a mental intelligence, and she must apply it to comprehend God, to think of good alone, never allowing any bad seed to enter her mind; and this is the sowing of good with the mind. The same with her mouth: she must never sow any bad seed, that is, bad words, unworthy of a Christian, but always say holy, useful and good words; so here is the sowing of good with the mouth. Then, with her heart she must love God alone, desire God, palpitate for Him, and tend to Him; here is the sowing of good with the heart. Then, with her hands she must do holy works, with her feet she must walk after the examples of Our Lord; and here is another good seed."

On hearing this, I thought to myself: “So, in my position I too can sow good in spite of my extreme misery.” But I thought of this with a certain fear of the account that the master will ask of me — whether I have sown well; and in my interior I heard Him repeat: "My Goodness is so great that great wrong is done by those who make Me known as severe, very demanding and rigorous. Oh, what an affront they give to My Love! I will ask for no other account but of the little field given to them; and I will ask for an account for nothing but to give them the fruit of their harvests. I will give it to the intelligence, for the more it has comprehended Me in life, the more it will comprehend Me in Heaven; and the more it will comprehend Me, the greater the Joy and Beatitude with which it will be inundated. To the mouth I will give the harvest of the different Divine flavors, and its voice will harmonize above all the other Blessed; to the works I will give the harvests of My Gifts; and so with all the rest."

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 18, 1926 Volume 19

While I was praying, I found myself outside of myself, and at the same time I saw the reverend father who must occupy himself with the printing of the writings on the Most Holy Will of God. Our Lord was near him, taking all the knowledges, the effects and the values He has manifested about the Supreme Will, which had changed into threads of light, and impressing them in his intelligence, in such a way as to form a crown of light around his head. And while doing this, He said to him: “My son, the task I have given you is great, and therefore it is necessary that I give you much light in order to make you comprehend with clarity what I have revealed. In fact, they will produce their effects according to the clarity with which they will be exposed, even though they are most clear in themselves. Indeed, that which regards My Will is light that descends from Heaven, which does not confuse and dazzle the sight of the intelligence, but has the virtue of strengthening and enlightening the human intellect so as to be comprehended and loved, and of casting into the depth of the soul the source of her origin, the true purpose for which man was created, the order between Creator and creature. And each one of My sayings, manifestations, knowledges about My Supreme Will are as many strokes of the brush to make the soul return to the likeness of her Creator. Everything I have said about My Will is nothing other than preparing the way, forming the army, gathering the chosen people, preparing the royal palace, disposing the ground on which the Kingdom of My Will must be formed, and so rule and dominate. Therefore, the task I am entrusting to you is great. I will guide you, I will be near you, so that everything may be done according to My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 17, 1927 Volume 22

… At that moment I saw as if beloved Jesus were setting off to leave me, and I cried out loudly: “Jesus, what are You doing? Do not leave me, for I don’t know how to live without You!”

And Jesus, turning to me, told me: “My daughter, can I leave My Divine Will, My Acts, My possessions? I cannot. Therefore, do not fear for I do not leave you.”

And I: “Yet, my Love, You leave me. How many times I go round and round throughout the whole Creation and I do not find You. Then I continue my round through all Your works of Redemption, hoping to find Him whom I love, but in vain. I reach even into the seas of the acts of the Sovereign Queen, thinking that You may be there with our Mama, but—no, my searches end up in the sorrow of not finding You; so much so, that the thought comes to me of not going around in all Your works when I do not find He who gives me life and is everything to me.”

And Jesus, interrupting my speaking, added: “My daughter, if you do not do your complete round in all Our works and in those of the Queen of Heaven... do you know what it means to go around in the Creation and in everything that belongs to Us? It means to love, to appreciate, to possess Our works, and I would not feel fully happy if I saw that the little daughter of My Will does not possess what I possess, and is not aware of, nor enjoys all My riches. I would find many voids in you, that are not in Me—voids of complete love, voids of light, voids of full knowledges of the works of your Creator. So, your happiness would not be full, and not finding the fullness of everything in you, I would feel your voids and your halved happiness. In the same way, if our Queen Mama saw that you do not possess Her seas of graces, She would feel that Her little daughter is not fully rich, nor happy.

“My daughter, to have one single Divine Will as life and not to possess the same things cannot be. Wherever It reigns, the Divine Will wants to possess everything that belongs to It—It does not want disparity. Therefore, you must possess within yourself what It possesses in Me and in the Virgin Queen, and your going around in all Its works serves as confirmation of Its reigning in you. And besides, don’t you yourself know how many things you learn in going around in all the works of My Supreme Fiat? And as many things as It manifests to you, so many possessions does It give you. If one who lives in Our Will did not possess all Our goods, it would happen as to a father who is rich and happy, while his son does not enjoy all his riches and is not happy like him. Would this father not feel the fullness of his happiness break because of his son?

“This will be the basis, the substance, the beautiful characteristic of the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat: one the Will, one the Love, one the Happiness, one the Glory between Creator and creature.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 16, 1899 Volume 2

Jesus continues to want me to act as His mother. He made Himself seen as a most gracious little baby, crying; and to calm His crying, holding Him in my arms, I began to sing. It so happened that when I would be singing, He would stop crying; when I wouldn’t, He would start crying again. I would rather have kept silent on what I was singing – first, because I don’t remember everything, since I was outside of myself, and one can hardly remember all the things that happen; and also because I believe it is nonsense. But Lady Obedience, who is too impertinent, does not want to give up, and it is enough that one does what she wants, for her to be content even with nonsense. I don’t know, they say that this Lady Obedience is blind, but to me it seems, rather, that she is all eyes, because she looks at the tiniest things, and when one does not do as she says, she becomes so impertinent as to give you no peace. And so now, to have peace from this beautiful Lady Obedience – because, then, she is so good when one does as she says, that whatever ones wants, through her, one obtains – I will say what I remember of my singing:

"Little Baby, You are little and strong
from You I expect every comfort;
little Baby, gracious and beautiful,
You enamor even the stars;

little Baby, steal my heart so as to fill it with your love;
little Baby, tender little one, make me a little baby too;
little Baby, You are a Paradise,
O please! Let me come to delight in your eternal smile."

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 15, 1925 Volume 18

… After this, I began to think about the feast of my Celestial Mama Assumed into Heaven; and my sweet Jesus, with a tender and moving tone, added: “My daughter, the true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will. It was the human will that closed Heaven, broke the bonds with its Creator, made miseries and sorrow enter the field, and put an end to the feast that the creature was to enjoy in Heaven. Now, this creature, Queen of all, by doing the Will of the Eternal One always and in everything – even more, it can be said that Her life was Divine Will alone – opened the Heavens, bound Herself to the Eternal One, and restored in Heaven the feasts with the creature. Every act She did in the Supreme Will was a feast that She started in Heaven, it was suns that She formed to adorn this feast, it was melodies that She sent to delight the Celestial Jerusalem. So, the true cause of this feast is the Eternal Will operating and fulfilled in My Celestial Mama. It operated such prodigies in Her as to astonish Heaven and earth, chain the Eternal One with indissoluble bonds of love, and capture the Word even into Her womb. The very Angels, enraptured, repeated among themselves: ‘From where comes so much glory, so much honor, such greatness and prodigies never before seen, in this excelling Creature? Yet, it is from the exile that She is coming.’ Astonished, they recognized the Will of their Creator as Life operating in Her; and, trembling, they said: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy — honor and glory to the Will of Our Sovereign Lord. And glory, and trice Holy — She who let this Supreme Will operate.’

“So, it is My Will that, more than anything, was and is celebrated on the day of the Assumption into Heaven of My Most Holy Mother. It was My Will alone that made Her ascend so high as to distinguish Her among all. Everything else would have been as nothing, had She not possessed the prodigy of My Will. It was My Will that gave Her Divine Fecundity and made Her the Mother of the Word. It was My Will that made Her see and embrace all creatures together, becoming the Mother of all, and loving all with a love of Divine Maternity. And making Her the Queen of all, It made Her rule and dominate. On that day, My Will received the first honors, the glory and the abundant fruit of Its work in Creation, and It began Its Feast, which It never interrupts, for the glorification of Its operating in My beloved Mother. And even though Heaven was opened by Me, and many Saints were already in possession of the Celestial Fatherland when the Celestial Queen was assumed into Heaven, however, She Herself was the primary cause, having fulfilled the Supreme Will in everything, and therefore we waited for She who had honored It so much and contained the True Prodigy of the Most Holy Will, to make the first feast for the Supreme Volition. Oh! how the whole of Heaven magnified, blessed and praised the Eternal Will, upon seeing this sublime Queen enter the Empyreum, in the midst of the Celestial Court, all circumfused by the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition! They saw Her all studded with the Power of the Supreme Fiat; there had been not even a heartbeat in Her which did not have this Fiat impressed on it. And, astonished, they looked at Her and said to Her: ‘Ascend, ascend higher. It is right that She who so much honored the Supreme Fiat, and through whom we find ourselves in the Celestial Fatherland, have the highest throne and be our Queen.’ And the greatest honor that My Mama received, was to see the Divine Will glorified.”

… Now, one day I was working and I thought to myself: “How is it possible that Jesus works in me while I work? Does He really want to do this work?” And Jesus: "Yes I do. My fingers are in yours and they work. My daughter, when I was on earth, didn’t My hands lower themselves to work the wood, hammer the nails, and help My foster Father Joseph in the smithing work? While I was doing that, with those very hands and with those fingers, I created souls and called other souls to the other life; I Divinized all human actions; I Sanctified them, giving a Divine Merit to each one of them. In the movements of My fingers I called in sequence all the movements of your fingers and those of others; and if I saw that they were doing them for Me, or because I wanted to act within them, I continued My Life of Nazareth in them, and I felt cheered by them for the sacrifices and the humiliations of My hidden Life, giving them the merit of My own Life.

“Daughter, the hidden Life that I conducted in Nazareth is not taken into account by men, when in fact, after the Passion, nothing could benefit them more. By lowering Myself to all those little actions and those acts which men exercise during their daily life, such as eating, sleeping, drinking, working, starting the fire, sweeping, etc. - all acts which no one can do without - I made flow inside their souls a tiny Divine coin of incalculable price. Therefore, if My Passion redeemed them, My hidden Life provided each human action, even the most insignificant one, with Divine Merit and with Infinite Value.

“Do you see? As you work — working because I want to work — My fingers flow within yours, and as I work in you with My creative hands, in this very instant, how many am I giving to the light of this world? How many others am I calling? How many others do I sanctify, correct, chastise, etc.? Now, you are with Me creating, calling, correcting and so forth; therefore, just as you are not alone, neither am I alone in My work. Could I ever give you greater honor?"

Who can say all that I understood, and all the good that can be done for ourselves and for others, by doing things because Jesus wants to do them in us? My mind gets lost, therefore I stop here.

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 13, 1933 Volume 32

[Jesus speaking]

“… To say, ‘I Live in the Divine Volition,’ and not know It, is absurd. And if she does not know It, it is not a reality but a way of speaking, while the first thing that My Will does is Reveal Itself, to make Itself known to the one who wants to Live together with It. Therefore knowing where she finds herself, she knows what she has to do with a Volition so Holy that wants everything in order to give her everything. So she places herself in the act of receiving Its Sanctity, Its Light, and she places herself in the act of Living of the Goods of the One whom she Lives together with, because knowing It, she does not feel that she abases herself in her human will any more, more so because it is not hers anymore.

“With this Knowledge the creature acquires the hearing in order to hear It, the voice in order to speak about It, the mind in order to comprehend It, the trust in the Divine Way in order to ask for everything and receive everything. In fact she does not ignore the Goods that she possesses, rather she is all eyes in order to watch over them and thank the One who abased Itself so much to Live with her. Now if someone will read these lines that I have made you write and will not comprehend what was written, and wondering will place in doubt a Truth so Sacrosanct, and where the creature can reach by Living together with My Volition, it is a sign that she does not Live with It. How can she comprehend It if she does not hold in herself this Life so Holy? She has never tasted Its Delights, she has never listened to Its Beautiful Lessons, her palate has never enjoyed this Celestial Food that My Will knows how to give. Therefore, they ignore what My Fiat knows how to do and give; and if they ignore It, how can they comprehend It? When a Good is not known, if they do not feel at least the dispositions of wanting to believe It, it brings blindness to the mind and hardness to the heart, and one can reach even to despising that Good.

“But for the one who knows It and possess It, It forms her Fortune and her Glory, she would give her human life in order to possess the Life of My Fiat and Its Goods that she has known. And knowing It she is all ears in order to listen to It, she is all eyes in order to look at It, she is all heart in order to love It, she is all tongue in order to speak of It, rather, she would want to have who knows how many tongues in order to say the Good that she knows, the prerogatives of the One whom she possesses as Life, because hers is not enough for her to be able to say everything that she knows. Therefore when I want to give a Good, a Gift, especially the Great Gift of My Will as Life in the creature, the first thing that I do is that of making It known. I do not want to give Light and place it under a bushel as if she would not have It, nor do I want to give My Gifts in order to hide them as though buried in her. What is the use of giving them? And if she does not know them, how could the poor creature correspond to Me, love them and appreciate them? If I give it is because I want that we Live together, and united we enjoy the Good that I have given her. Rather, your Jesus acts as Vigilant Sentinel in order to watch over what I have given to My beloved creature. So to know means to possess, to possess means to know; for one who does not know, the Truths render themselves difficult and without Life. Therefore be attentive and enjoy what your Jesus has given you, and made known to you.”

This morning, after He made we wait for some time, my adorable Jesus came, telling me: "My daughter, this morning I want to conform you completely to Myself. I want you to think with My own Mind, look with My own Eyes, listen with My own Ears, speak with My own Tongue, operate with My own Hands, walk with My own Feet, and love with My own Heart."

After this, Jesus united His senses, mentioned above, to mine, and I saw that He was giving me His own shape; not only this, but He gave me the grace to make use of it as He Himself did. Then He continued: "Great graces am I pouring in you – make sure you keep them well." And I: “I fear very much, O my beloved Jesus, in knowing myself all full of misery, that instead of doing good, I may make bad use of Your Graces. But what I fear the most is my tongue that oftentimes makes me slip in charity toward my neighbor.” And Jesus: "Do not fear, I Myself will teach you the way you must keep in speaking with your neighbor. First: when you are told something about your neighbor, cast a gaze upon yourself and observe whether you are guilty of that same defect, for in that case wanting to correct is wanting to make Me indignant and to scandalize your neighbor. Second: if you see yourself free of that defect, rise then, and try to speak as I would have; in this way you will speak with My own Tongue. By doing so, you will never fail in charity with your neighbor; on the contrary, with your words, you will do good to yourself and to your neighbor — and to Me you will give honor and glory."

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus with a cross in His hand, all full of white pearls. Giving it to me as gift, He placed it on my breast, and it sank into my heart as inside a room. Then He told me: "My daughter, the cross is a treasure, and the safest place in which to keep this valuable treasure is one’s own soul. Or rather, it is a safe place when the soul is disposed to receive this treasure with patience, with resignation and with the other virtues, because the virtues are as many keys that secure it, so as not to spoil it or expose it to thieves. But if it does not find especially the gold key of patience, this treasure will find many thieves, who will steal it and spoil it."

… After this, He added: "The daughter of Justice is Truth. Just as I am the eternal Truth, and I do not deceive, nor can I deceive, in the same way, the soul who possesses Justice makes Truth shine in all of her actions. Therefore, since she knows by experience the true light of truth, if someone wants to deceive her, since that light which she feels within herself is missing, she immediately recognizes the deceit. And so it happens that with this light of Truth she deceives neither herself, nor her neighbor, nor can she be deceived. The fruit produced by this Justice and by this Truth is Simplicity, which is another quality of My Being – being simple; so much so, that I penetrate everywhere; there is nothing that can prevent Me from penetrating inside of it. I penetrate into Heaven and into the abysses, into good and into evil; but My Being, which is most simple, by penetrating even into evil, does not get dirty; even more, it does not receive the slightest shadow. In the same way, through Justice and Truth, gathering this beautiful fruit of Simplicity within herself, the soul penetrates into Heaven, she enters into hearts to lead them to Me, she penetrates into everything that is good; and if she finds herself with sinners and sees the evil that they do, she does not get dirty because, being simple, she immediately brushes it off, without receiving any harm. Simplicity is so beautiful, that My Heart is wounded at one gaze alone of a simple soul. She is the admiration of angels and men."

Continuing in my usual state, I was feeling a little disturbed, and blessed Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, the soul who is at peace and whose whole being tends completely into Me, drips with drops of light which fall upon My garment and form My ornament. On the other hand, the soul who is disturbed drips with darkness, which forms the diabolical ornament. Not only this, but disturbance impedes the course of grace and renders it unable to operate good.” Then He added: “If the soul becomes disturbed over everything, it is a sign that she is full of herself. If she becomes disturbed with something that happens to her, but does not with something else, it is a sign that she has something of God, but there are many voids to be filled. If, then, nothing disturbs her, it is a sign that she is all filled with God.

“Oh! how much harm disturbance does to the soul – to the point of rejecting God and of filling her completely with herself.”

… Jesus kept silent; but then, as though taken by an irresistible emphasis of love, He added: “Oh, Power of My Will, how great You are! You alone unite the greatest and highest Being with the littlest and lowest being, making them one. You alone have the virtue of emptying the creature of all that does not belong to You, to be able to form in her, with your reflections, that Eternal Sun which, filling Heaven and earth with Its rays, goes to blend with the Sun of the Supreme Majesty. You alone have this virtue of communicating the supreme Strength, in such a way that, with your strength, the creature can rise to that single act of God the Creator. Ah, My daughter, when the creature does not live in the Unity of My Will, she loses the one strength and remains as though disunited from that strength that fills Heaven and earth and sustains the whole universe as if it were the littlest feather. Now, when the soul does not let herself be dominated by My Will, she loses the one Strength in all of her actions, therefore all her acts, not coming out of the same single Strength, remain divided among themselves–love is divided, the action separated, the prayer disjointed. Being divided, all the acts of the creature are poor, meager, without light; and so patience is poor, charity is weak, obedience is crippled, humility is blind, prayer is mute, sacrifice is without life, without vigor, because since My Will is missing, the one strength is missing which, uniting everything, gives the same strength to each act of the creature. Therefore, they are left not only divided among themselves, but adulterated by the human will, and so each one is left with its own defect.

This happened to Adam. By withdrawing from the Supreme Will, he lost the one single Strength of His Creator, and since he was left with his limited human strength, he felt hardship in his operating; more so, since the strength that he employed in performing one action would debilitate him, and in having to do another, he would not feel the same Strength. So, he touched the poverty of his actions with his own hand: not having the same Strength, they were not only divided, but each one had its own defect. It happened as to a rich lord who possesses most extensive properties: as long as they belong to one owner only, he shows off, he makes big purchases; who knows how many servants he maintains under himself, and with the large proceeds he receives, he keeps making new purchases. But, suppose that this property were to be divided among other heirs: that’s it - his great power is already lost; he can no longer show off as before, nor make new purchases; he must limit himself in his expenditures, and his servants are few. So, his greatness, his lordship, has vanished; what is left are just barely the traces of it. So it happened to Adam; by withdrawing from My Will, he lost the one single Strength of his Creator, and with it he lost his lordship, his dominion, nor did he feel the Strength to show off in good anymore. The same happens for one who is not completely abandoned in the arms of My Will, because with It the Strength of good converts into one’s nature, and poverty does not exist.”
