Divine Will for every day of the year - December 5, 1921 Volume 13

[Luisa speaking]

And I, blushing about my difficulties, said: “My highest and only Good, see how I have become more bad. Before I used to have no doubts about what You told me; now – no; how many doubts, how many difficulties. I myself don’t know where I go fishing for them.” And Jesus: "Do not worry about this either. Many times I Myself cause these difficulties in order to answer not only you, confirming to you the Truths that I tell you, but to answer all those who, in reading these Truths, may find doubts and difficulties. I answer them in advance, so that they may find Light, and all of their difficulties may be dissolved. Criticism will not be lacking; therefore, everything is necessary."

I was thinking in my mind about this obedience, saying: “They are right in commanding me this way; besides, it is not such a great thing that the Lord would allow me to obey in the way wanted by them. So they say: either He should let you obey, or He should tell the reason why He wants the confessor to come to make you come round from that state.” While I was thinking of this, my adorable Jesus moved in my interior, telling me: "My daughter, I wanted them to find the reason of My operating by themselves, because in My Life, from the moment I was born up to My death, everything can be found, since the life of the whole Church is enclosed in it. When compared to some step that can be conformed to My Life, the most difficult matters are solved, the most tangled situations are unraveled, and in the most obscure and abstruse ones, such that the human mind almost becomes lost in that obscurity, one finds the clearest and brightest Light. This means that they do not have My Life as the rule of their operating, otherwise they would have found the reason. But since they have not found the reason themselves, it is necessary that I speak and manifest it."

After this, He stood up and with empire – but so much that I became fearful – He said: "What is the meaning of that ‘ostende te sacerdoti’ [‘show yourself to the priest’]?" Then, becoming sweeter, He added: "My Power extended everywhere, and from any place I was I could operate the most sensational miracles; yet, in almost all My Miracles I wanted to be personally present. As for example, when I resurrected Lazarus, I went there, I had them remove the sepulchral stone, then I had him released, and then, with the empire of My Voice I called him back to life. In resurrecting the young girl, I took her by the hand with My right hand, and I called her back to life; and in many other things which are recorded in the Gospel, and which are known to all, I wanted to be there with My Presence. This teaches the way in which the priest must behave in his operating, since the future life of the Church was enclosed in Mine. And these are things that pertain to you, though in general; but your specific circumstance they will find on Calvary. I, Priest and Victim, lifted up on the wood of the Cross, wanted a priest to be present, to assist Me in that state of Victim – and he was Saint John, who represented the nascent Church. In him I saw everyone — Popes, Bishops, Priests and all the faithful together; and while assisting Me, He offered Me as Victim for the Glory of the Father and for the good outgrowth of the nascent Church. The fact that a Priest assisted Me in that state of Victim did not happen by chance, but everything was a profound mystery predisposed ab aeterno [from eternity] in the Divine Mind, intending that when I choose a soul as victim for the grave needs present in the Church, a Priest must offer her to Me, assist her for Me, help her and encourage her to suffer. If these things are understood – fine, they themselves will receive the fruit of the work they offer; just like Saint John: how many goods did he not receive for having assisted Me on Mount Calvary? If then they are not understood, they do nothing but put My Work amid continuous contrasts, diverting My most beautiful Designs.

“In addition to this, My Wisdom is infinite, and when It sends some cross to a soul for her sanctification, It does not take that soul alone, but five, ten... as many as I please, so that not one alone, but all others together may be sanctified. In fact, on Calvary I was not alone; in addition to having a Priest, I had a Mother, I had friends and also enemies, and on seeing the prodigy of My Patience, many of them believed in Me as the God I was, and were converted. Had I been alone, would they have received these great goods? Certainly not."

But who can say everything He told me, or explain the most minute meanings? I said this the best I could – the way I was able to say it in my roughness. I hope that the Lord will do the rest, by illuminating them so that they may comprehend what I have not been able to manifest well.

Since blessed Jesus was not coming, I felt such bitterness...; not only this, but a sort of hitch within my interior, such as to make me almost restless. Oh, God, what pain! All other pains compared to this are nothing but shadows, or rather, refreshment. Your privation alone can be given the name of pain.

Now, while I was fidgeting, He came out, in passing, from within my interior, and He said to me: "What is the matter with you? Calm yourself, calm yourself; here I am — not only with you, but in you. And then, I do not want this restless heart. Everything in you must be sweetness and peace, in such a way that it may be said of you that which is said about Me: that nothing but milk and honey flows within Me, symbolizing sweetness with honey, and peace with milk. I am so filled and soaked with them, that they pour out from My Eyes, from My Mouth, and from all of My Works. And if you are not likewise, I feel dishonored by you, because, while the One who is all Peace and Sweetness dwells within you, you do not honor Me by showing even the slightest shadow of a resentful and restless heart. I love this Sweetness and Peace so much, that even if it were about something great concerning My Honor and Glory, I do not want, I never approve, resentful, violent, fiery manners, but rather, sweet and peaceful manners. In fact, sweetness alone is that which binds hearts like a chain, in such a way that they cannot unbind themselves. It is like pitch that sticks to them and they cannot free themselves, and are forced to say: ‘In this soul there is the finger of God, for we cannot act otherwise.’ And then, if I do not like a resentful manner, not even creatures will like it. If one speaks about or deals with things, even of God, with manners that are not sweet and peaceful, it is a sign that he does not have his passions in order; and one who does not keep himself in order, cannot order others. Therefore, be careful with anything which is not sweetness and peace, if you do not want to dishonor Me."

After this, I remained in silence, and He added: “Today I take pleasure in spending time with you. Tell Me something.” And I: “You know that all my contentment is in being with You, and in having You, I have everything. So, in possessing You, it seems I have nothing else to desire, or to say.” And Jesus: “Let Me hear your voice that cheers My Hearing. Let us converse together a little; I have spoken to you many times about the Cross; today, let Me hear you speak of the Cross.”

I felt all confused; I did not know what to say. But as He sent me a ray of intellectual light, to make Him content I began to say: “My Beloved, who can say to You what the Cross is? Your Mouth alone can speak worthily of the Sublimity of the Cross; but since You want me to speak, I will do it.

“The Cross, suffered by You, freed me from the slavery of the devil, and espoused me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond. The Cross is fecund and gives birth to Grace in me. The Cross is Light, It disillusions me of what is temporal, and reveals to me what is Eternal. The Cross is Fire, and reduces to ashes all that is not of God, to the point of emptying my heart of the tiniest blade of grass that might be in it. The Cross is Coin of inestimable Value, and if I have, O Holy Spouse, the fortune of possessing it, I will be enriched with Eternal Coins, to the point of becoming the richest in Paradise, because the currency that circulates in Heaven is the Cross suffered on earth. The Cross, then, makes me know myself; not only this, but It gives me the Knowledge of God. The Cross grafts all virtues into me. The Cross is the Noble Pulpit of the Uncreated Wisdom, that teaches me the highest, the finest and most sublime doctrines. So, only the Cross will reveal to me the most hidden Mysteries, the most secret things, the most perfect Perfection, hidden to the most erudite and learned of the world. The Cross is like beneficent water that purifies me; not only this, but It administers to me the nourishment for the virtues, It makes them grow, and only then does It leave me, when It brings me back to Eternal Life. The Cross is like Celestial Dew, which preserves and embellishes for me the beautiful lily of purity. The Cross is the nourishment of Hope. The Cross is the beacon of operating Faith. The Cross is like hard wood, which preserves the fire of Charity, keeping it always lit. The Cross is like dry wood, which dispels and puts to flight all the smokes of pride and of vainglory, producing the humble violet of humility in the soul. The Cross is the most powerful Weapon that offends the demons, and defends me from all of their claws. Therefore, the soul who possesses the Cross is the envy and admiration of the very Angels and Saints, and the rage and indignation of the demons. The Cross is my Paradise on earth, in such a way that if the Paradise of the Blessed up there, is of Delights, the Paradise down here is of sufferings. The Cross is the chain of most pure Gold that connects me to You, my Highest Good, and forms the most intimate union which can possibly be given, to the point of making my being disappear. And It transforms me in You, my Beloved, to the point that I feel lost within You, and I live from your very Life.”

After I said this (I don’t know whether it is nonsense), my lovable Jesus was all delighted in listening to me, and taken by enthusiasm of love, kissed me all over, and said to me: “Brava, brava, My beloved — you spoke well! My Love is Fire, but not like the terrestrial fire which, wherever it penetrates, renders things sterile and reduces everything to ashes. My Fire is fecund, and it renders sterile only that which is not virtue. To all the rest it gives Life, it makes beautiful flowers bloom, it makes the most delicious fruits mature, and forms the most delightful Celestial Garden. The Cross is so powerful, and I communicated so much Grace to It, as to render It more effective than the very Sacraments; and this, because in receiving the Sacrament of My Body, the dispositions and free concourse of the soul are needed in order to receive My graces, and many times these may be lacking; while the Cross has the virtue of disposing the soul to grace.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 1,

I was thinking about the Passion of my sweet Jesus, and I felt those pains so close to me, as if He were suffering them at that very moment; and looking at me, He told me: “My daughter, I suffered all pains in My Will, and as I suffered them, they opened many ways in My Will to reach each creature. Had I not suffered in My Will, which envelops everything, My Pains would not have reached you and everyone; they would have remained with My Humanity. Even more, because I suffered them in My Will, not only did they open many ways in order to reach creatures, but they opened as many other ways in order to let creatures enter into Me, unite themselves with those pains, and give Me, each one of them, the pains which, with their offenses, they would give Me throughout the course of all centuries. And while I was under the storm of the blows, My Will brought Me each creature to strike Me. So, it was not just the ones who scourged Me, but the creatures from all times would concur in My barbarous scourging with their offenses. The same with all other pains: My Will brought Me everyone; no one was absent from roll call, everyone was present to Me — no one escaped Me. This is why My pains were – oh! how much harder, how much more numerous than those which could be seen. Therefore, if you want your offerings of My pains, your compassion and reparation, your little pains not only to reach Me, but to follow the same ways as Mine, let everything enter into My Will, and all generations will receive their effects.

“And this, not only with My pains, but also with My words, because, being spoken in My Will, they reached everyone; as for example, when Pilate asked Me whether I was King, and I answered: ‘My Kingdom is not of this world, for if It were of this world, millions of legions of Angels would defend Me’. And Pilate, on seeing Me so poor, humiliated, despised, was surprised, and said with greater emphasis: ‘What? You are a King?’ And I, with firmness, answered him and all those who are in his position: ‘I am King, and I have come into the world to teach the Truth. And the Truth is that it is not positions, nor kingdoms, nor dignities, nor the right of command that make man reign, that ennoble him, that raise him above all. On the contrary, these things are slaveries, miseries, which make him serve vile passions and unjust men, making him also commit many unjust acts which disennoble him, cast him into mud, and draw the hatred of his subordinates upon him. So, riches are slaveries, positions are swords, by which many are killed or wounded. True reigning is virtue, to be stripped of everything, to sacrifice oneself for all, to submit oneself to all. This is true reigning, which binds all, and makes one loved by all. Therefore, My Kingdom will have no end, while yours is near to perishing.’ And, in My Will, I made these words reach the ear of all those who are in positions of authority, to let them know the great danger they are in, and to put on guard those who aspire to positions, to dignities, to command.”

…And so I followed all created things. But while I was doing this, a thought told me: “Created things do not have reason, they are veils that hide that Fiat that, with Its Divine Reason, more than if they had reason, dominates them with Its Oower, maintains the perfect balance, and adores, loves, glorifies Itself by Itself.”

But while I was thinking of this, my beloved Jesus, making Himself seen, clasped me in His arms and, all tenderness, told me: “My little daughter of My Divine Volition, My Will is one, and even though It has the Bilocating Virtue—It bilocates at each instant, in each thing, in each act, in such a way that all can have It as Act and Life of their own—however It never loses Its Unity, It is always One, and with Its One Strength It maintains, wherever It reigns, the Union, the Harmony, the Order, the Communication, the Inseparability, and holds everything enclosed within Itself inside One Single Act. The Act is One, My Will is One, but It extends everywhere, leaving not even one atom of the things created without Its operating and vivifying Life.

“Ah! yes, they are just veils that hide It. My Will veils Itself with Light, and extending in the sun, It keeps molding the creatures with Its Light, It embraces them, It kisses them, It warms them, It loves them. It extends in the heavens, and makes Itself all eyes for as many as are the stars, in order to watch them; and their meek twinkling are silent voices, as if very softly It called the creatures to the Celestial Fatherland. It pours Itself into the air, and filling it completely, It makes Itself their breath, and blowing over them, It makes Itself be breathed and gives them life. In all created things It runs toward the creatures to give them many distinct effects, to offer them Its Love, the Life, the Preservation; yet One is the Act, One is the Will that fills Heaven and earth.

“Now, My daughter, one who does My Will and lives in It, when she does her acts, draws into herself all the Acts of My Fiat, that It has done and continues to do; and My Will draws the creature and her act into Its Act. So, by virtue of Its one Will, It draws her into the heavens, into the sun, into the air—in everything. And do you know what happens then? No longer does One Single Divine Reason and Will fill Heaven and earth, but another reason and will, human, that, dissolving within the Reason and Will, remains—one can say—as the veil of the created things, but a veil that has reason and will, though sacrificed and identified with the Divine Reason and Will. And then it happens that My Fiat is no longer alone in loving, honoring and glorifying Itself in the created things, but there is another will, human, that loves It, adores It, glorifies It, as heavens, as sun, as air. In sum, it is present everywhere and in each distinct thing in which My Will reigns.

“So, just as My Divine Will draws the human will into Itself and into Its Acts, to make Itself be loved, adored and glorified with Its own Love, Adoration and Glory, in the same way, the creature who wants to live but of My Will draws into herself all the Acts done by It, and it makes itself be loved and sanctified, as a Divine Will knows how to love and sanctify, that extends Its Heaven, forms Its Sun—in sum, It continues Its Divine Art, just as It started it and is continuing it in the Creation. Do you see, then, what it means to do My Divine Will? And not doing It means to lose Its Heaven, Its Sun, Its Air, Its Seas of Grace, Its Divine Art. Therefore, always in It do I want to find the daughter of My Divine Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 29, 1937 Volume 35

Then, Jesus continued: “My good daughter, Our Love is such that, everywhere and in every place—even in the most tiny blade of grass, in the air that the creature breathes, in the water she drinks; even underneath her steps, as she treads the ground—We send Our Voices, Our spasming cries of Love—‘I Love you, I Love you, I Love you!...’ But Our Love can’t find peace, feeling that It’s not listened to by the creature, and not hearing her repeating: ‘I love You, I love You...’ And in Our delirium of Love We say: ‘O...is anybody listening to Us? O...! Nobody is saying to Us ‘I love You, I love You’. Why then say ‘I Love You, I Love You,’ if nobody returns it to Us? To whom do We say ‘I Love you...’ to the air, to the wind, to the empty space? Our ‘I Love you’ doesn’t know where to go—where to lean—if it doesn’t find the ‘I love You’ of the creature to receive it and return it with her own, so that her love may find refuge inside Our Immense Love, leaning on It, and growing more and more.

“When the creature listens to Our ‘I Love you’ and returns it, in Our Emphasis of Love—as if reconciled by her love, We say: ‘Finally, we’ve been heard. Our Love found one to go to, a place for refuge. We have been recognized. We found one who says “I love You.”’ Then Our Love makes a feast. But when We cannot find one who says ‘I love You,’ We don’t find one who recognizes Us, who listens to Us—one who loves Us. How hard it is to Love, not being loved! How I wish that everybody knew that with My Love I sustain them, I hug them, I Love them and I make them breathe; I Love them and I give them a heartbeat; I Love them and I give them speech; I Love them and I give them the step; I Love them and I give them motion, thinking, food, water.... All that they are and receive is the effect of My flowing Love. So, isn’t not loving Me a horrible ingratitude? It is making Our Love a Martyr—because We Loved, and We are not loved.”

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my always lovable Jesus. In my interior I felt myself all transformed in the Love of My beloved Jesus; now I would find myself inside of Jesus — bursting into acts of love together with Jesus, loving as Jesus loved... but I am unable to say it, I lack the words; and now I would find my sweet Jesus in me, and I alone would burst into acts of love, while Jesus would listen to me, telling me: "Say it, say it — repeat it again; relieve Me with your love. Lack of love has cast the world into a net of vices." And He would remain silent in order to listen to Me, and I would repeat again the acts of love.

I will say the little I remember:

In every moment, in every hour,
I want to love You with all my heart. In every breath of my life,
while breathing, I will love You.
In every beat of my heart,
Love, love, I will repeat.
In every drop of my blood,
Love, love, I will cry out.
In every movement of my body,
Love alone I will embrace.
Of love alone I want to speak,
at love alone I want to look,
to love alone I want to listen,
always of love I want to think.
With love alone I want to burn,
with love alone I want to be consumed, only love I want to enjoy,
only love I want to content.
From love alone I want to live,
And within love I want to die.
In every instant, in every hour,
I want to call everyone to love.
Only and always together with Jesus and in Jesus I shall live,
into His Heart I will plunge myself,
and together with Jesus, and with His Heart, Love, Love, I will love You.

But who can say them all? In doing this, I felt myself divided into many little flames, which then became one single flame.

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 27, 1917 Volume 12

I continue in order to obey. It seems that my always lovable Jesus wants to speak about the living in His Most Holy Will. It seems that when He speaks about His Most Holy Will, He forgets everything and makes one forget about everything. The soul finds nothing other than the necessity — no other good than to live in His Volition. So, after I wrote about His Will on November 20, my sweet Jesus, being disappointed with me, told me: "My daughter, you did not say everything. I want you to neglect to write nothing when I speak to you about My Will — not even the most tiny things, because all of them will serve for the good of posterity. In all sanctities there have always been Saints who first started each kind of sanctity. So, there was the Saint who started the sanctity of the penitent; another who started the sanctity of obedience; another of humility, and so with all the other sanctities. Now I want you to be the beginning of the Sanctity of living in My Will.

“My daughter, all other sanctities are not exempt from waste of time and from personal interest — as for example, a soul who lives attentive to obedience in everything. There is much waste of time; her saying and re-saying continuously, distracts her from Me, and she mistakes the virtue for Me. If she does not have the opportunity to take all the orders, she lives restless. Another one suffers from temptations — oh, how much waste of time! She never tires of telling of all her trials, and she mistakes the virtue for Me. And many times these sanctities end up in ruin. But the Sanctity of Living in My Will is exempt from personal interest and waste of time; there is no danger that they might mistake the virtue for Me, because I Myself am the Living in My Will.

“This was the Sanctity of My Humanity on earth, and therefore It did everything for everyone, without a shadow of personal interest. Self-interest takes away the mark of Divine Sanctity. Therefore, it can never be a Sun; at the most, as beautiful as it may be, it can be a star. This is why I want the Sanctity of Living in My Will — in these times, so sad, this generation needs these Suns, which may warm it, illuminate it and fecundate it. The disinterest of these terrestrial angels, all for the good of others, without a shadow of their own self, will open in hearts the way to receive my grace.

“And then, churches are few and many will be destroyed. Many times I do not find Priests to consecrate Me; other times they allow unworthy souls to receive Me, and worthy souls not to receive Me; other souls are unable to receive Me, therefore my Love finds Itself hindered. This is why I want to make the Sanctity of living in my Will. In It, I will no longer need Priests to be consecrated, nor churches, tabernacles or hosts. These souls will be everything altogether: Priests, churches, tabernacles and hosts. My Love will be more free. Anytime I want to consecrate Myself, I will be able to do it — in every moment, during the day, at night, in any place where they might be. Oh, how my Love will have Its complete outpouring!

“Ah! My daughter, the present generation deserved to be destroyed completely; and if I will allow a little something to be left of it, it is to form these Suns of the Sanctity of Living in My Will, who, through My Example, will repay Me for all that other creatures, past, present and future, owed Me. Then will the earth give Me true glory, and My ‘FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA, on earth as it is in Heaven’ will have its Completion and Fulfillment."

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 26, 1921 Volume 13

[Jesus speaking]

“…Therefore, this surpasses even the miracle of the Eucharist. Its accidents have no reason, nor a will, nor desires which may oppose My Sacramental Life. So, the Host contributes nothing — all the work is Mine; if I want it, I do it. On the other hand, in order to make the miracle of the Living in My Will happen, I have to bend a reason, a human will, a desire, a love which is purely free. How much does this not take? Therefore, there are many souls who receive Communion and take part in the Miracle of the Eucharist, because they sacrifice less; but having to sacrifice more in order to let the Miracle that My Will may have life in them occur — very few are those who dispose themselves."

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 25, 1934 Volume 33

… But while my mind was lost in the crowd of so many thoughts about the Divine Fiat, Sovereign Celestial Jesus, my dear Life, surprising me with a Love more than Paternal, in the act of taking me in His arms, told me: “My daughter, My daughter, if you only knew what are My anxieties, My yearnings, and how I wait and wait again to see you return into My Will, you would be more attentive to returning there more often. My Love arrives at rendering Me restless when it does not see you jump into My arms in order to give you My Love, My Paternal Tendernesses, and to receive yours. But do you know when you jump into My arms? When seeing yourself tiny, tiny, you want to Love Me and you do not know how to Love Me, you tell Me an ‘I love You,’ and your ‘I love You’ forms the jump in order to throw yourself into My arms. And since you see that your ‘I love You’ is little, daring, you take My Love and you tell Me a great, great ‘I Love You.’ And I enjoy that My daughter Loves Me with My Love, and I delight Myself so much as to exchange My Acts with those of the creature. After all, in My Will it is not to strangers that I give, that I must use the weight, the measure, but I give to My children, therefore I let them take what they want. In fact, every time I remind you to make your acts, your prayer, your sufferings, your ‘I love You,’ your labor, flow in My Will, they are little visits that you make to Your Father in order to ask for something, and He in order to tell you: ‘Tell Me, what do you want?’ And be certain that you will always obtain other gifts and favors.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 24, 1935 Volume 33

“… My Will Reigning in the creature as Life removes this veil, and all things will be unveiled. And then they will see the caresses that We make them by means of created things—the kisses, the Loving Embraces. In each created thing they will feel Our Ardent Heartbeat that Loves them. They will see Our Life flow in the Sacraments in order to continuously give Itself to them, and they will feel the need of giving themselves to Us. This will be the great Prodigy that My Divine Will will do: To break all the veils, to abound with unheard-of Graces, to take possession of souls as Its own Life in a way that no one will be able to resist It. And so It will have Its Kingdom on earth.”

Jesus, hurry and complete what You say and want, and may Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 23, 1927 Volume 23

… After this, having followed my round in the Divine Fiat, I was gathering all created things, in which all the acts of the Divine Fiat are present, dominating; and I, gathering everything together—the heavens, the sun, the sea and all Creation—brought everything together before the Supreme Majesty, to surround It with all of Its works, and have the acts of Its very Will ask for the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat upon earth.

But while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and told me: “My daughter, hear how all of Heaven echoes your petition, and the Angels, the Saints, the Sovereign Queen repeat among themselves: ‘Fiat! Fiat! Voluntas Tua, on earth as It is in Heaven.’ Because it is petition of Heaven—it is the Kingdom that interests everyone—they all feel the duty to ask for what you want; they feel within themselves the same Strength of the Power of My same Divine Will by which all of them are animated. And they repeat: ‘May the Will of Heaven be one with the earth.’

“Oh! how beautiful it is—how harmoniously it resounds when an echo from the earth invests all of Heaven and forms one single echo, one single Will, one single petition. And all the Blessed say among themselves, taken by admiration: ‘Who is she who is carrying the whole cortege of the Divine Works before the Divinity, and with the Power of the Divine Fiat that she possesses, she overwhelms us all, and makes us ask for a Kingdom so Holy? No one has had this power, no one until now has asked for the Kingdom of the Fiat with such power and empire. At the most, some have asked for the glory of God, some for the salvation of souls, some for the reparation of many offenses—all things that refer to the external Works of God. But asking for the Kingdom of the Divine Will is about His internal Works, the most intimate Acts of God, and the destruction of sin. It is not just salvation, but Divine Sanctity in the creatures; it is liberation from all evils, spiritual and corporal; it is transporting the earth to Heaven so as to make Heaven descend upon earth.’

“Therefore, asking for the Kingdom of My Divine Will is the greatest, the most perfect, the holiest thing; and this is why, reverently, all answer your echo, and in the Celestial Fatherland resounds the beautiful harmony: ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.’”

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 22, 1921 Volume 13

Continuing in my usual state, and keeping vigil almost all night, my thought flew very often to my prisoner Jesus. And He made Himself seen in thick darkness, such that I could feel His labored breath, the touch of His Person, but I could not see Him. So I tried to fuse myself in His Most Holy Will, doing my usual acts of compassion and reparation, and a ray of light, brighter than Sun, came out from within my interior and was reflected on the Face of Jesus. At that ray, His most Holy Face was lightened, and as daylight arose, darkness was dispelled, and I was able to cling to His knees. Then He told me: "My daughter, the acts done in My Will are daylight for Me; and if man with his sins surrounds Me with darkness, these acts, more than solar rays, defend Me from darkness, surround Me with light, and take Me by the hand to make Me known to creatures for Who I am. This is why I Love so much one who lives in My Will: because in My Will she can give Me everything, she defends Me from everyone; and I feel like giving her everything, enclosing in her all the Goods which I should give to all the others. Suppose that the Sun had a reason, and that plants were rational, and of their own will they refused the light and the heat of the Sun, and did not love to fecundate and produce fruits; and that only one plant would receive the light of the Sun with love, and would want to give to the Sun all the fruits which the other plants do not want to produce. Would it not be fair that the Sun, withdrawing its light from all the other plants, would pour all of its light and heat upon that plant? I think so. Now, what does not happen to the Sun, because it does not have a reason, can happen between the soul and Myself."

After He said this, He disappeared. Then He came back and added: "My daughter, the pain which pierced Me the most during My Passion was the affectation of the Pharisees. They faked justice, but they were the most unjust. They faked sanctity, regularity, order, and they were the most perverted, outside of any rule, and in full disorder. And while they pretended to honor God, they were honoring themselves, their self-interest, their own comfort. Therefore, light could not enter into them, because their fake manners were closing the doors to it, and pretense was the key which, closing them to death with double locks, blocked obstinately even a few glimmers of light, to the point that Pilate, idolatrous, found more light than the very Pharisees, because all he did and said did not start from pretense, but, at most, from fear.

“I feel more drawn toward the most perverted sinner, but not false, than to those who are good but false. Oh, how disgusted I am by one who apparently does good, pretends to be good, prays, but nurses evil and self-interest inside; and while his lips are praying, his heart is far away from Me; and in the very act of doing good, he is thinking about how to satisfy his brutal passions. Then, a man who is false in the good which he apparently does and says is incapable of giving light to others, since he has closed the doors to it. Therefore they act as incarnate devils, who many times attract men under the appearance of good. In seeing this good, men let themselves be drawn in; but when they feel most secure, they make them fall into graver sins. Oh, how much safer are the temptations under appearance of sin, than those under appearance of good! In the same way, it is safer to deal with perverted people than with good people, but false. How much poison do they not hide? How many souls do they not poison? If it wasn’t for pretenses and all made themselves known for what they are, the root of evil would be removed from the face of the earth, and all would be disillusioned."

Continuing in my usual state, I was uniting myself with Our Lord, making His Thought, His Heartbeat, His Breath and all of His Movements one with mine, and then adding the intention of going to all creatures, to give all this to all. And since I was united to Jesus in the Garden of Olives, I also gave to all and to each one, and also to the purging souls, the drops of His Blood, His Prayers, His Pains and all the Good He did, so that all the breaths, movements and heartbeats of creatures might be repaired, purified, Divinized; and I gave the Fount of all Goods, which are His Pains, as Remedies for all. While I was doing this, blessed Jesus told me in my interior: "My daughter, with these intentions of yours, you wound Me continuously; and since you do them often, one arrow does not wait for another, and I am always wounded again."

And I said: “How can it be possible that You are wounded, when You hide and make me suffer so much in waiting for Your coming? Are these the wounds – is this the Love You have for me?’ And He: "Rather, I have said nothing of all I should tell you. The soul herself, while she is a pilgrim, cannot comprehend all the Good and Love that passes between creatures and Creator; that her operating, speaking, suffering is all in My Life, and that only by acting in this way can she do good to all. I will just tell you that each thought, heartbeat and movement of yours, each member of yours, any suffering bone of yours, are as many lights that come out from you; and as they touch Me I melt them for the good of all, while I send back to you, tripled, as many other Lights of Grace; and in Heaven I will give them to you of glory. It is enough to tell you that there is such union, such closeness, that the Creator is the Organ, and the creature is the sound; the Creator the Sun, the creature the rays; the Creator the Flower, the creature the fragrance. Can one perhaps be without the other? Certainly not. Do you think that I do not take into account all your interior work and your pains? How can I forget them if they come from My very Self, and are one thing with Me? I also add that every time My Passion is remembered, since it is a Treasure exposed for the Good of all, it is as if one put it on a counter, to multiply it and distribute it for the good of all."

As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus came for just a little, and told me: "My daughter, one who takes the Cross according to human views finds it muddy, and therefore heavier and more bitter. On the other hand, one who takes the Cross according to Divine Views finds it full of Light, light and sweet. In fact, the human views are without grace, strength and light, therefore she has the boldness to say: ‘Why did that person do that wrong to me? Why did this one cause me this displeasure, this calumny?’ And the soul fills herself with indignation, with anger, with revenge, and so the Cross becomes muddy, dark, heavy and bitter. On the other hand, the Divine Views are full of Grace, of Strength and of Light, therefore she does not have the boldness to say: ‘Lord, why did you do this to me?’ On the contrary, she humbles herself, she resigns herself, and the cross becomes Light and brings her Light and Sweetness."

… Afterwards, I was thinking about what Jesus had told me, and I said to myself: “How can this be put into practice?” And Jesus, returning, added: "My daughter, in order to know the Truths, it is necessary to have the will, the desire to know them. Imagine a room in which the shutters are closed: no matter how much sun there may be outside, the room remains always in the dark. Now, opening the shutters means wanting light. But this is not enough, if one does not take advantage of the light to reorder the room, dust it, and put himself to work, so as to not kill the light which is given, and become ungrateful. In the same way, it is not enough to have the will to know the Truths if, at the Light of the Truth which illuminates, one does not try to dust himself of his own weaknesses, reorder himself according to the Light of the Truth he knows, and put himself to work together with the Light of Truth, making of it his own substance, in such a way that the Light of the Truth which he has absorbed may shine through his mouth, through his hands, through his bearing. It would be as if he killed the Truth; and by not putting it into practice, it would be like remaining in total disorder before the light. Poor room full of light, but all messed up, upside down, in total disorder, with a person in it who does not take the care of reordering it — how pitiful would it not be? Such is one who knows the Truths, and does not put them into practice.

“However, know that Simplicity enters into all truths as the first nourishment. If the Truths were not simple, they would not be Light, and they could not penetrate into human minds to enlighten them; and where there is no light, objects can not be distinguished. Simplicity is not only light, but it is like the air that one breathes which, though it cannot be seen, gives respiration to all; and if it wasn’t for the air, the earth and everyone would remain without motion. Therefore, if the virtues, the truths, do not carry the mark of Simplicity, they will be without light and without air."

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and as soon as I saw Him, I said: “My sweet life, how bad I have become – I feel I am reduced to nothing. I no longer feel anything in me, everything is empty; I just feel an enchantment in my interior, and in this enchantment I wait for You, so that You may fill me. But in vain do I wait for this filling; on the contrary, I feel I always return to nothing.” And Jesus: "Ah, My daughter! And you afflict yourself for you feel reduced to nothing? Rather, I say to you: the more the creature is reduced to nothing, the more she is filled with the All. And if she left even one shadow of herself, that shadow would prevent Me from giving all of Myself, completely, to the soul. Your constant returning to nothing means that you are dissolving your human being to reacquire the Divine."

Having received Communion, I was thinking about the benignity of Our Lord in giving Himself as Food to such a poor creature as I am, and about how I could correspond to such a great favor. While I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, just as I make Myself Food for the creature, so can the creature make herself My food, converting all of her interior into nourishment for Me, in such a way that her thoughts, affections, desires, inclinations, heartbeats, sighs, love – everything, everything should tend toward Me. And I, on seeing the true fruit of My Food, which is to Divinize the soul and convert everything within Myself, would come to nourish Myself with the soul – that is, with her thoughts, with her love, and with all the rest. In this way, the soul could say to Me: ‘Just as You have reached the point of making Yourself my Food and of giving me everything, I too have made myself Your food; there is nothing left to give You, because everything I am is all Yours.’“

In the meantime I understood the enormous ingratitude of creatures, because while Jesus deigns to reach such Excess of Love as to make Himself our Food, we then, deny Him His food and cause Him to remain on an empty stomach.

This morning, as I was outside of myself, I found myself with Baby Jesus in my arms, and with a virgin, who laid me on the ground to make me suffer the crucifixion – not with nails, but with fire, placing a charcoal of fire on my hands and feet. Blessed Jesus was there assisting me while I was suffering, and said to me: “My daughter, there is no sacrifice without denying oneself, and sacrifice and denying oneself give rise to the most pure and perfect love. And since sacrifice is sacred, it happens that it consecrates the soul to Me, as a sanctuary worthy of Me to make of it My perpetual dwelling. So, let sacrifice work in you to render your soul and body sacred, so that everything may be sacred in you; and consecrate everything to Me.”
