Divine Will for every day of the year - June 11, 1925 Volume 17
I felt my poor mind immersed in the Most Holy Will of God. Oh, how I wished I would do not even one breath, one heartbeat, one movement, outside the Supreme Volition! It seemed to me that everything which is done outside the Will of God makes us lose new beauty, new grace and light, rendering us dissimilar from our Creator; while Jesus wants us to be like our Supreme Maker in everything. And in what easier way can we be like Him, other than by receiving within us the continuous Life of His Most Holy Will? It brings us the reflections, the features of our Celestial Father; It maintains whole within us the purpose of Creation; It surrounds us in such a way as to preserve us beautiful and holy, just as God created us, and It gives us that something, ever new, of beauty, of light, of love, never interrupted, which can be found only in God.
Now, while my mind was wandering in the Eternal Will, my sweet Jesus, squeezing me to Himself, with sensible voice, told me: "My daughter, there is nothing which can equal the great evil of not doing My Will. There is no good which can equal doing It. There is no virtue which can stand before It. The good which is lost by not doing my Will is irreparable in itself; and only by returning again to It can one find remedy, and the goods which Our Will had established to give to the creature can be given back to her. In vain do creatures delude themselves in doing other works, virtues, sacrifices. If these are not a birth from My Will, and if they are not made in order to fulfill It, they are not recognized by Me; more so, since it is established that grace, aids, light, goods, and the just reward, will be given to those who operate in order to fulfill My Will. Moreover, My Will is eternal — It has no beginning and will have no end; and so who can calculate an act done in My Will, which has no beginning and no end? That which My Will is, such It renders the act.
“On the other hand, the other virtues, the works and sacrifices without My Will, have a beginning, as well as en end. What great reward can things subject to perish ever receive? Furthermore, My Will is the balance of My attributes. If My Power did not have this Holy Will, it would turn into tyranny toward those who so much offend Me; while, by balancing My Power, My Will makes Me pour graces there where I should pour fury and destruction. If it wasn’t for My Will which gives it ever new Life, My Wisdom would not manifest so much art and mastery in Our Works. Our Beauty would be faded and without attraction, if it were not sustained by this Eternal Will. Mercy would turn into weakness, if it were not balanced by My Will; and so on with all the rest of Our Attributes. Now, Our Paternal Goodness has so much Love for the creatures, that it has established the balance of man within Our Will. Since man had come from the Supreme Will, it was right that this Will would become the Life which would maintain the balance of all the works of man, giving him Likeness to his Creator. So much dignity, majesty, order in acting, were to be seen in him, as to make him be recognized as a birth of his Maker.
“Therefore, also in acting, it can be seen whether there is the balance of My Will, or of the human will. And so this is the cause of so many works, maybe even good, in which balance, rule, order, cannot be seen: the execution of My Will is missing; and therefore, instead of being admired, they are blamed, and instead of shedding light, they cast darkness. If everything which is good comes from My Will, without It, those are apparent goods, without life, and maybe even poisonous, which poison those who take part in them."

[Jesus speaking]
“…But this is not all – it is the least part; the most essential is that in order to live in My Will, the door through which to enter, the first link of connection, is My Humanity. My Humanity was indeed the first and true victim which, because of the office given to Me by My Celestial Father, lived as sacrificed and completely crucified in the Divine Will; and by virtue of the power of My Eternal Volition, It was able to multiply My Life for all and for each one. And just as by the power of one single Fiat I multiplied so many created things, giving to each creature the right to make them her own, in the same way, the power of My Will multiplied one single Life, so that each one might have Me for himself alone as help, as defense, as refuge – however he wanted Me. This is all the greatness, the good, the all, the infinite distance between living in My Will and living in a different way, even good and holy: the multiplication of one act into as many acts as one wants, enough for as many as want to make use of them.
“Now, if I deposed you from your office, not only would you not occupy mM office on earth — since you would not be in My Humanity, which, even though It did much, impetrating so much good for man, yet did not take the rights, the honor, the decorum away from My Justice when it would require to punish man justly; rather, I would resign Myself – but, in lacking the link of connection, you would not be able to live in My Will, you would lose dominion, your acts would become simple intentions; and when you say: ‘My Jesus, in Your Will, I love You, I bless You, I thank You for all, I feel sorrow for each offense, etc.’, your acts would not hover over each human act to become act of each human act, love for each love that creatures should give Me. You would not follow all My Acts which are present in My Will, you would remain behind; they would be pious intentions at most, which can do some good, but not acts for all, which may give life and contain the power of Our creative Will. And yet, how many times you tell Me: ‘Since You have called me into Your Will, do not leave me behind. Oh, Jesus, let it be so that, together with You, I may follow the acts of Creation, to requite You for the love of all created things, as well as those of Redemption and of Sanctification, so that wherever Your Acts and Your Love are present, there may be the requital of mine.’ And now you want Me to leave you behind?”
I remained confused and did not know what to answer. Good Jesus disposes as He best pleases – and everything for His glory.
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 9, 1912 Volume 11
Feeling a little in suffering, I was saying to my always adorable Jesus: “When will you take me with You? Please hurry, O Jesus; let death cut this life of mine and let me reunite with You in Heaven!”
And Jesus: "My daughter, for the soul who does My Will and lives in My Volition there is no death. Death is for one who does not do My Will, because he has to die to many things: to himself, to passions and to the earth. But one who lives in My Will has nothing left to die for; he is already used to living in Heaven. For him, death is nothing other than setting down his remains, as one would remove the clothes of a poor one to wear the garments of a king, in order to leave exile and reach the Fatherland. The soul who lives in My Will is not subject to death and receives no Judgment; his life is eternal. All that death had to do, love did in advance, and My Will reordered him completely in Me, so that I have nothing for which to judge him.
“Therefore, remain in My Will and, when you least expect it, you will find yourself in My Will in Heaven."
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 8, 1927 Volume 22
I was following the Divine Will in Its acts, in everything It had done in the order of the whole Creation, from the beginning of the world up to the present. But while I was doing this, I thought to myself: “What is past is not in my power, therefore it seems avwaste of time to me to go on tracing what has passed.”
At that moment, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, telling me: “My daughter, for one who does My Will and lives in It,vall times and all places are hers. My Supreme Will loses nothing of what It does, and with Its own unique power, It does the act and Itvpreserves it within Itself, intact and beautiful, just as It did it. So, one who lives in My Supreme Will finds in It the order of all Its acts, as if It were doing them at that very instant; and the soul, uniting herself with It, does what My Volition is doing.
“This is all the delight, the satisfaction, the glory of My Will—that while Its Acts are Eternal, the littleness of the creature who lives in It takes Eternity in her power, and finding the Acts of her Creator as though in act, she repeats with Him, she loves, she glorifies the endlessness of the Acts of He who created her, and so a contest of works, a contest of love and of glory is formed between them. Therefore, the times of Creation are at her disposal, as well as the place of the terrestrial Eden; she has the times of My Incarnation, of My Passion, and Bethlehem, Nazareth and Calvary are not far from her. Past, distance, do not exist for her, but everything is present and near.
“Even more, you must know that My Will gives the Unity of everything to the soul, and just as My Will, while being one, does everything, in the same way, the soul who possesses the Divine Unity encloses within herself the thoughts of all, the words, works, steps and heartbeats of all, as if they were one alone, in such a way that My Will finds in her all generations and the single acts of each one, just as It finds them within Itself. Oh! how the steps of this chosen creature can be recognized—how sweet is her treading.
“She goes before her God, but she never goes alone—she carries the treading of the steps of all within her steps. Her voice contains the notes of all human voices, and—oh! what a beautiful harmony she forms in Our Will. Her heartbeat unleashes little flames for as many creatures as have come out to the existence of life. Oh! how she delights Us—we amuse ourselves together, she is Our dear jewel, the reflection of Our works, the image of Our Life. This is why I want My Will to reign in the creature—to fill her with all of Its Acts. In fact, when It does not reign, the void of Its Acts is formed in her, and—oh! how terrible is the void of a Divine Will in the creature. It is like a dry land, full of rocks, without sun and without water, that is terrifying to look at. And how many there are of these voids in the creature; and when I find one who lives in My Will, I make feast, for I can fill her with all the Acts of My Will. …”
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 7, 1928 Volume 24
… So, Jesus had told me: “My daughter, how many prodigies of Ours concurred in creating man. With Our breath, the soul was infused in him, in which Our Paternal Goodness infused three suns, forming in it the perennial and refulgent day—not subject to any night. These three suns were formed by the Power of the Father, by the Wisdom of the Son, by the Love of the Holy Spirit. While being formed in the soul, these three suns remained in communication with the Three Divine Persons, in such a way that man possessed the way through which to ascend to Us, and We possessed the way through which to descend into him.
“These three suns are the three powers: intellect, memory and will. While being distinct among themselves, they hold hands and arrive at forming one single Power, symbol of Our adorable Trinity, which is such that, while We are distinct as Persons, We form one single Power, one single Intellect, and one single Will. Our Love in creating man was so great, that only when We communicatedOur Likeness to him—then did Our Love feel content.
“These three suns were placed in the depth of the human soul, just like the sun in the depth of the vault of the heavens, that keeps the earth in feast with its light, and with its admirable effects gives life to all plants—and to each one the flavor, the sweetness, the color and the substance that befits it. In its tacit silence, the sun guides the earth, instructs everyone—not with words, but with facts, and with such eloquence that no one else can reach it; and with its penetrating light it makes itself life of everything that the earth produces.
“Look: there is only one sun for the entire earth, but for the human soul Our Love was not content with one alone. And finding Ourselves in the ardor of Our Love for giving and giving, We formed three suns, by which all the human acts were to be directed, animated and receive life. What order, what harmony We placed in Our beloved and dear son.
“Now, My daughter, these three suns exist in man, but they find themselves in the same condition of the sun that shines in the heavens when it is surrounded by thick clouds and cannot fill the earth with the vividness of its light. And even though the communications are neither interrupted nor broken by the clouds, the earth, however, receives its effects with difficulty, and does not enjoy all the good that the sun could do to it. So, not receiving all the life of the sun, it is as though ill, its fruits are insipid and unripe, and many plants are without fruits. Therefore, the earth is melancholic, without feast, because the clouds have prevented it from receiving all the fullness of the light of the sun, so as to be crowned with glory and with honor.
“Such is the condition of man: all things are in place, between Us and him nothing is broken or interrupted, but the human will has formed thick clouds, and therefore one sees man without the glory, the order and harmony of his creation; and so his works are without fruits, rotten and without beauty; his steps are unsteady. It can be said that he is the poor ill one, because he does not let himself be directed by the three suns that he possesses in his soul.
“Therefore, in coming to reign, the first thing that My Will will knock down will be the human volition; and, blowing, It will dispel the clouds, and man will let himself be directed by the three suns that he has in the depth of his soul, that possess Our communication. And immediately He will rise to Our origin, and everything will be feast and glory for Us and for him.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 6, 1921 Volume 13
I was dissolving myself in the Holy Will of blessed Jesus, and I thought to myself: “Which one is greater, more varied and more complex — the work of Creation or the Redeeming work?” And my always lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, the Redeeming work is greater, more varied and complex than the work of Creation — even more, It is so much greater, that each act of the Redeeming work is immense seas which surround the work of Creation. The work of Creation, surrounded by the Redeeming work, is nothing other than little rivulets surrounded by the immense seas of the Redeeming work. Now, one who lives in My Will, who takes My Fiat Voluntas Tua as her own life, flows in these immense seas of the Redeeming work, diffusing and expanding herself together with them, in such a way as to surpass the very work of Creation. Therefore, only the Life of My Fiat can give true honor and glory to the work of Creation, because My Fiat multiplies and extends everywhere — It has no limits. On the other hand, the work of Creation has its limits, nor can it become larger than it is.
“My daughter, the greatest miracle that My Omnipotence can perform, is a soul who lives in My Fiat. Do you think it is trivial that My Will, Holy, Immense, Eternal, descends into one creature, and that putting My Will and hers together, I dissolve her in Me, becoming the life of all that the creature does, even the most tiny things? So, her heartbeat, word, thought, motion, breath, are those of the living God within the creature. She conceals Heaven and earth within herself, although, apparently, one sees a creature. Greater grace, a prodigy more portentous, a Sanctity more heroic than My Fiat, I could not give.
“See, the work of Creation is great; the work of Redemption is even greater; but My Fiat — making the creature live in My Will — surpasses both of them. In fact, in Creation My Fiat created and delivered My works, but did not remain as center of life in the created things. In Redemption My Fiat remained as center of life in My Humanity, but did not remain as center of life in the creatures; rather, if their will does not adhere to Mine, they render vain the fruits of My Redemption. But with My Fiat – making the creature live in My Will – I remain as center of life of the creature; and therefore I repeat to you, as other times, that My Fiat Voluntas Tua will be the true glory of the work of Creation and the fulfillment of the abundant fruits of the work of Redemption. Here is the reason why I want nothing from you but that My Fiat be your life, and that you look at nothing but My Will: because I want to be the center of your life."

[Jesus speaking]
“…Therefore, courage in the painful circumstances of life. However, know that your Jesus will never abandon you—I don’tknow how to do these things; My Love is not voluble by nature, but firm and constant, and what I say with My mouth comes out from the Life of My Heart. Creatures, instead—they say one thing and feel another in their hearts; they mix many human ends also in making friends, and this is why they change according to the circumstances. So, the dispersion of those who seemed to want to lay down their lives in the good times, and who cravenly run away in the time of humiliations and scorns—they are all effects of the human will. The human will is the true prison of the creature, and is clever in the art of being able to form many little rooms—but all without windows, because it is not skilled at forming openings in order to receive the good of light.
“Therefore, passions, weaknesses, fear, excessive worries, inconstancy, are as many dark rooms of its prison, and she remains now hampered in one, now in another; and fear makes her fear and move away from the one who is laying down his life for love of her. On the other hand, one in whom My Will reigns lives in My royal palace, in which there is so much light, that the pains, the humiliations, the calumnies, are nothing other than stairs of triumphs and of glory, and completion of great and Divine Works. So, instead of running away from the poor martyr who has been cast into dust by the human perversity, she draws closer to him, waiting with patience for the hour of the new triumph. Oh! if My Will had reigned fully in the Apostles, with certainty they would not have run away in an hour in which I felt the need of their presence, of their faithfulness in My so many pains. In the midst of enemies who wanted to devour Me, I wanted My faithful ones close to Me, because there is no greater comfort than having a friend close in time of bitternesses. I would have seen in My dear Apostles, close to Me, the fruits of My pains, and—oh! how many sweet memories would have arisen in My Heart, that would have been balm for Me in My intense bitternesses. My Divine Will, with Its Light, would have prevented their step from running away, and therefore they would have drawn closer around Me. But since they lived in the dark prison of the human will, their mind was obscured, the heart became cold, fear invaded them—in one moment they forgot about all the good they had received from Me. And not only did they run away from Me, but they dispersed themselves from one another—all effects of the human will, that does not know how to maintain union, and knows only how to disperse in one day the good that one has done in many years, with many sacrifices. Therefore, may your only fear be that of not doing My Will.”

[Jesus speaking]
“… You must know that Our Supreme Being uses the same Creative Power that It used in the Creation; It continues to use It in the acts that the creature does in the Divine Will. Every act that she does in It undergoes a New Creation, and My Fiat, in virtue of Its Creative Power, remains Conceived in the act of the creature. A continuous alternation occurs: she lends the act, and My Divine Will Creates and Conceives Itself in her act, and while It is Conceived, It forms Its Life and makes it grow with the nourishment of Its Light and of Its Love. The Heavens are amazed, and so much is the marvel, that they are struck mute before one single act of the creature that contains within itself the Creative Strength of the Conception of the Divine Fiat. And since she, by remaining in Its arms, places herself at Our Disposal, so with keeping her in Our Arms We place Ourselves at her disposal. And she gives Us her sweet pledge in order to make of her what We want, such that her life, her acts, are so many pledges that she gives Us, and We, keeping her pledges, feel Ourselves secure to be able to put forth Our Creative Virtue, and Operate as God in the act of the creature. You must know that when Our Will works, as much in Ourselves as in the human act, It never sets aside Its Creative Virtue, nor can It set it aside, because It possesses it by nature, therefore Its Doing is always Creation. So one who Lives in Our Will, undergoes Its Creating Act in her acts, and O! how many Marvels occur. Therefore, be attentive and reverent and grateful; receive in yourself, in your acts, this Creating Virtue that wants to do Great Things, not little, and only those Worthy of Our Adorable Will.”

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will according to my usual way, and I was thinking to myself: “Where has Our Lord God done more for the creature: in Creation, in Redemption, or in Sanctification? And my always adorable Jesus, moving in my interior, showed me all of Creation. What sublimeness! What magnificence! How many harmonies! What order! There is not one point, either in Heaven or on earth, in which God has not created something special and distinct – and with such mastery that before the tiniest thing created by God, the greatest scientists feel that all of their science and mastery is an absolute nothing, compared to the things created by God, which are full of life and of motion. Oh, how true it is that to look at the Universe and not to recognize God, love Him and believe in Him, is true madness! All created things are like many veils which hide Him; and God comes to us as though veiled in each created thing, because man is incapable of seeing Him unveiled in his mortal flesh. The Love of God for us is so great that in order not to dazzle us with His Light, frighten us with His Power, make us feel ashamed in front of His Beauty, make us be annihilated before His Immensity, He veils Himself in the created things, so as to come and be with us in each created thing — even more, to make us swim in His very Life. My God, how much You loved us, and how much You do love us!
“Then, after He made me look at the whole Universe, my sweet Jesus told me: "My daughter, everything was made in Creation. In It, the Divinity manifested all Its Majesty, Power and Wisdom, and displayed His complete Love toward the creatures. There is not one point, either in Heaven or on earth, or in any created thing, in which the perfection of Our Works is not complete. Not one thing was left half-made. In Creation, God showed off all His Works for the creatures; He loved with Complete Love, and made Complete Works – there was nothing to be added or to be removed. So, I made everything perfect; nor can We do incomplete works; on the contrary, in each created thing We placed a distinct and Complete Love in Creation, for each creature.
“The Redemption, then, was a reparation of the evils that creatures had done; it added nothing to the work of Creation. And Sanctification is nothing other than help, grace, light, so that man may return to his original state of creation, to his origin, and to the purpose for which he was created. In fact, in Creation, by virtue of My Will, the Sanctity of man was complete, since he came out from a Complete Act of God. He was the man, holy and happy in the soul, because My Will brought to him the reflections of the Sanctity of his Creator; just as he was happy and holy in the body.
“Ah, My daughter, with all Redemption and the work of Sanctification, Sanctity in man is incomplete, and for others it is almost useless. Now, I say this: if man does not turn back in order to take My Will as life, as rule and as food, to be purified, ennobled, divinized, to place himself in the Prime Act of Creation, and take My Will as his Inheritance, assigned to him by God – the very Works of Redemption and of Sanctification will not have their abundant effects. So, everything is in My Will – if man takes It, he takes everything. It is one single point, which embraces and encloses the goods of Redemption and of Sanctification; even more, for one who lives in My Will, after he has taken the prime point of creation, all these goods serve not as remedy, as for those who do not do My Will, but as Glory and as special Inheritance, carried upon earth by the Will of the Celestial Father, in the Person of the Word.
“And if I came upon earth, this was exactly the Prime Act – to make known the Will of My Father, in order to bind It again to the creatures. The pains, the humiliations, My hidden Life, and all the immense sea of the pains of My Passion, were remedies, medicines, supports, lights, in order to make My Will known, because with It, I would make man not only saved, but holy. With My pains I placed him in safety; with My Will I gave him back the Sanctity lost in the terrestrial Eden. Had I not done this, My Love, My Work, would not have been complete as they were in Creation, because My Will alone has the virtue of rendering complete Our Works toward the creatures, and the works of the creatures toward Us. My Will makes one think in a way which is different from the human way; It makes one look at My Will in all created things, speak with the echo of My Will, work through the veils of My Will. In a word, one does everything, all at once, according to My Supreme Volition, which leads the creature, rapidly, to perfect Sanctity; while the other virtues act slowly, little by little. My Redemption Itself, without the Prime Act of My Will, serves as dressing of the deepest wounds, as medicine for man, not to let him die; as antidote, not to let him fall into hell.
“Therefore, take to heart My Will alone, if you really want to love Me, and to make yourself a saint."

[Jesus speaking]
“…Furthermore, everything that has passed between Me and you, the many intimacies, the many excesses of My Love, My repeated comings, were required by the decorum of My Divine Will that I was to make known through you. If I had not come often, how could I tell you so many things about My Divine Will? If I had not made My dwelling in your heart, as My living Temple, My Lessons would not have been so continuous. Therefore, they should comprehend that everything I have done to your soul was to serve My Divine Will, that deserves everything; and it was to serve, in hearing My so many loving condescendences, to make them comprehend how much I love the creature and how much I can love her in order to elevate the creature to My pure Love and to the full confidence that she must have toward the One who loves her so much. In fact, if there isn’t full confidence between Me and the creature, they cannot be elevated to live in My Divine Will.
“Lack of confidence always places an obstacle to the union between Creator and creature; it is the wing-clipper of the flight toward the One who loves her so much; it makes her live at the earth’s level; and even though she does not fall, it makes her feel, vividly, her passions. More so, since lack of confidence has been the weak act in the course of the centuries, and sometimes even good souls have drawn back in the journey of virtues because of lack of confidence. And I, in order to remove this torpor that the specter of the lack of confidence produces, wanted to show Myself with you as all love, and in an intimate way, more than father and daughter, in order to call back, not only you, but all others, to live as My children, as though rocked in My arms. And I have enjoyed, and so have you, how beautiful it is to have the creature as all love and all trust with Me; I can give whatever I want, and she has no fear of receiving what she wants. So, once true confidence is placed in order between Me and you, the greatest obstacle to letting My Divine Will reign in their souls is removed. …”

This morning I found myself outside of myself, and I saw my last late Confessor, surrounded by many people who were all attentive and as though enraptured in listening to him; and he talked and talked, and was so inflamed as to inflame others. I drew near to listen to what he was saying, and to my surprise, I heard that he was saying all that blessed Jesus had told me – His finesses of love, the many condescensions of Jesus toward me. And when he spoke about the stratagems of love of Jesus toward me, he radiated Light, to the extent of remaining transfused within that Light; and not only himself, but also those who were listening to him. I remained surprised, and I said to myself: “The Confessor did not do it only in life – telling the things of my soul to others – but he is doing it also after his death, in the other life…” And I waited for him to finish speaking, in order to approach him and tell him about some of my difficulties; but he would not finish, and I found myself inside myself.
Then, according to my usual way, I followed my beloved Jesus in His Passion, satisfying Him, repairing Him, and making His pains my own. And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how much great good the memory of Me and of all that I did, suffered and said in My Life, procures for the soul! By compassionating Me and making My Intentions her own, and by remembering, one by one, My pains, My works, My words, she calls them into herself and places them in nice order within her soul, in such a way as to come to take the fruits of all I did, suffered and said. This produces a sort of Divine humidity within the soul, in which the sun of My Grace delights in rising and in forming a Celestial Dew, by virtue of that humidity. And this Dew does not only embellish the soul in a marvelous way, but It has the virtue of mitigating the rays of the burning sun of My Divine Justice, when, finding souls burned up by the fire of sin, It is about to strike them, burn them and wither them more and more. By mitigating Its rays, this Divine Dew uses them to form a beneficial dew, in order to prevent them from striking the creatures, and it becomes vital humidity so as not to let them wither. Oh, how this symbolizes nature when, after a day of burning sun, the plants are about to wither; and a humid night is enough, because, rising again upon that humidity, the sun forms its dew, and instead of making them die, its heat serves to fecundate them and to complete the maturation of their fruits.
“This happens more surprisingly in the supernatural order. The memory is the beginning of every good. The memory forms many sips for the soul in order to give her life. When good, when things are forgotten, they lose the vital virtue for the soul; they lose their attractiveness, gratitude, correspondence, esteem, love, value. And this memory does not only produce the origin of every good in life, but also after death, it produces the origin of Glory. Have you not heard your late Confessor – how he delighted in speaking about the graces I have given you? This is because during his life he cared about hearing them, he remembered them, and his interior remained filled with them as to overflow outside. And now, how much good did this not procure for him in the other life? It is for him like a fount of good which overflows for the good of others. Therefore, the more the soul remembers all that belongs to Me, My Graces, the Lessons I have given her, the more the fount of My Goods grows within her, to the point that, unable to contain them, they overflow for the good of others."

… After this, I continued my acts in the Divine Fiat, and my poor mind paused in the little house of Nazareth, where the Queen of Heaven, the Celestial King Jesus, and Saint Joseph, were in possession of and lived in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. So, this Kingdom is not foreign to the earth; the house of Nazareth, the little family that lived in It, belonged to this Kingdom and kept It in full force. But while I was thinking about this, my great King Jesus told me: “My daughter, indeed the Kingdom of My Divine Will has existed upon earth, and therefore there is the sure hope that It will return again to Its full force. Our house of Nazareth was Its true Kingdom; however, We were without peoples.
“Now, you must know that each creature is a Kingdom; therefore, one who lets the Divine Will reign within herself can be called a little Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat. So, she is a tiny little house of Nazareth that We have upon earth; and, though little, since Our Will is in her, reigning, Heaven is not closed for her; she observes the same laws of the Celestial Fatherland, she loves with the same Love, feeds herself with the Foods from up there, and is incorporated into the Kingdom of Our interminable regions. Now, in order to form the great Kingdom of Our Will upon earth, first We will make the many tiny little houses of Nazareth—that is, the souls who will want to know It in order to let It reign within themselves. I, Myself, and the Sovereign Queen, will be at the head of these tiny little houses, because, We having been the first to possess this Kingdom on earth, it is Our right, that We will not surrender to anyone, to be the directors of them. Then, with these tiny little houses, repeaters of Our house of Nazareth, We will form many little states of Ours, many provinces, that, after they have been formed well, and ordered like many little Kingdoms of Our Will, will fuse together and will form one single Kingdom and one great people. Therefore, in order to have Our greatest Works, Our way of acting is to begin, first alone, one on one with one single creature; when We have formed this one, We make her a channel in order to enclose in Our Work two or three more creatures; then We expand, forming a little group, and then We expand it so much as to take the whole entire world. Our Works begin in the isolation of God and the soul, and end by continuing their life in the midst of entire peoples. And when there is the beginning of a work of Ours, it is the sure sign that it will not die at birth; at the most, it may live hidden for some time, but then it will go out and will have its perennial life. Therefore, always forward do I want you in My Divine Will.”

Continuing in my usual state, I felt oppressed for the privation of my always adorable Jesus. He came and told me: "My daughter, when you are without Me, use this very privation to double, triple, increase a hundredfold your acts of love toward Me, so as to form an environment — all love — inside and out, and find Me within this environment, more beautiful and as if reborn to a new life. Wherever love is, there I am; therefore, there cannot be separation for the soul who really loves Me; rather, we form the same thing, because love seems to create Me, to give Me life, to feed Me, to make Me grow. I find My Center in love and I feel recreated and reborn, while I am Eternal, with no beginning and with no end; but thanks to the soul who loves Me, I enjoy love so much that I feel as if remade.
“Furthermore, in this love I find My True Love, I find My True rest. My Intelligence rests in the intelligence of the one who loves me; My Heart, My Desire, My hands and my feet rest in the heart that loves Me, in the desires that love Me, desiring only Me, in the hands that work for Me, and in the feet that walk only for Me. Therefore, bit by bit, I go resting within the soul who loves Me; while the soul, with her love, finds Me everywhere and in every place, resting completely in Me. In My Love she remains reborn, embellished, and grows, in an admirable way, in My own Love."

I was accompanying my sweet Jesus in His pains, especially in what He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemani; and while I compassionated Him, moving in my interior, He told me: “My daughter, the first one to form the crafting of My pains in My Humanity was My Celestial Father, because He alone had the Strength and the Power to create pain and to place in it as many degrees of pain as were needed in order to be satisfied for the debt of creatures. Creatures were secondary, because they had no power over Me, nor the ability to create pain as intense as they wanted.
“The same happens in all creatures: in creating man, the first crafting, both in the soul and in the body, was done by My Divine Father. How much harmony, how much happiness did He not form with His own hands in the human nature? Everything is harmony and happiness in man. The mere external part — how many harmonies and happinesses does it not contain? The eyes can see, the mouth can express, the feet can walk, the hands can operate and take things where the feet have reached. But if the eyes could see, but man did not have the mouth to express himself; or if he had feet to walk but no hands to operate – would there not be unhappiness and disharmony in the human nature? And then, the harmonies and happinesses of the human soul - the will, the intellect, the memory – how many harmonies and happinesses do they not contain? It is enough to say that they are part of the happiness and harmony of the Eternal One. God created His true personal Eden in the soul and in the body of man – an Eden all celestial; and then He gave him the terrestrial Eden as residence. Everything was harmony and happiness in the human nature, and even though sin upset this harmony and happiness, it did not completely destroy all the good which God had created in man.
“So, just as God created with His own hands all the happiness and harmony in the creature, He created all possible pains in Me, to be repaid for the human ingratitude, and to make the lost happiness come out from the sea of My pains, as well as the accord for the upset harmony. And this happens to all creatures: when I must choose them for a distinct sanctity or for My special designs, it is My own hands that work in the soul, and I create in it now suffering, now love, now the knowledge of Celestial Truths. My jealousy is such that I want no one to touch her; and if I allow creatures to do something to her, it is always in the secondary order; but I Myself have primacy, and I keep forming her according to My design.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 28, 1933 Volume 32
My poor mind many times struggles between the Infinite Beauty, Power, Value and Innumerable Prerogatives of the Eternal Volition, and the precipices, ugliness and evils of the human volition. My God, what contrast, that if all would be able to see it, they would give their lives rather than do their own will.
And while I felt all trembling for the grave evils in which my will could make me fall, my beloved Jesus, surprising me, told me: “My blessed daughter, Courage, it is necessary that you know where one can reach by holding My Divine Will as Life, and into what abyss one falls who lets himself be dominated by his own volition. Rather, every evil that I make known to you about it, is a door that I make you close to the human will, and a guard that I give you, so that if you would want to enter again and descend into the precipice of the human volition, the guard repels you and keeps the door closed to you.
“And every time I arrive at making you know other evils of the human volition, they are nothing other than defense and guards that I add, so that they would not let you descend into the depth of its abyss. Therefore you must know that every evil of the human will is nothing other than so many distinct doors that she possesses in order to descend into the kingdom of evils, of vices, of bloodcurdling terrors of the living hell, even to rendering herself nauseating, unbearable to God and to herself. And I, by making its evils known, I do nothing other than wall up the doors and place My Seal and say: ‘This door can not open anymore.’
“Now, as the human will has its doors, its stairs, in order to descend into the abyss of evils, not in order to ascend, so My Divine Will has Its doors, Its stairs, in order to Ascend to Its Heavens, to Its Immense Goods, and It forms the Living Paradise of the one who possesses It. And every Knowledge that regards It is one door that is opened, it is a stair that is formed, it is a way that opens before you that you must cross in order to possess with deeds what you have known. See, therefore, the Great Good of the so many Knowledges that I have manifested to you. They are so many Doors that make the entrance into Its Kingdom easy for you. And at every door I have placed an Angel as Guardian so that he would give you a hand and conduct you safely into the Regions of the Divine Will.
“Every Knowledge is an Invitation and a Divine Strength that It cedes to you, and makes you feel the extreme need, the absolute necessity, of Living of Divine Will. As It makes Itself known, so It extends Its arms to you in order to take you and conduct you in Its arms into that same Knowledge that It has Manifested to you. It adapts it to your capacity, It molds your soul so that it enters into you as Vital Humor, as Blood, as Air, and it produces in you the Life, the Goods that Its Knowledge possesses. And acting as conductor, more than mother It remains on guard in order to see when Its daughter has absorbed the last drop of the Good that It has made known to her, in order to again open Its Bosom to her. And pouring Itself into Its daughter, and making her know other Values, other Effects, that the Life of My Volition contains, then It repeats Its Labor, because It wants to see in her the Value of Its Life, the Effects, the Substance of Its Goods.
“Now, the Knowledges about My Divine Will instruct the human volition, and she acquires Science and Reason, that it is not only Justice to let It Reign and Dominate as Primary Life in her soul, but it is the Greatest Good, Honor and Great Glory that she can receive, that this Holy Volition, by Dominating, arrives at giving her the state of Divine Royalty. Because she feels herself daughter of the Great King, the Royalty is also therefore her property. When the creature has arrived at comprehending all this by way of Knowledges and Lessons that My Divine Volition has made to her, everything is done. My Will has Conquered the human volition, and the human volition has Conquered the Divine Will. The Knowledges about It are so very necessary, because they serve to dry up the bad humors and substitute them with the Holy humors. They are as sun that darts the human volition, and they communicate Its Life, Its Sanctity, and the ardent desire to possess the Good that one knows. Therefore, be attentive to listen to Its Lessons and correspond to such a Good.”

I was thinking to myself: "If one act done in His Will is so great, how many of them, alas, do I let escape!’ And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: "My daughter, there is the prevenient act and the actual act. The prevenient act is when the soul, at the first rising of the day, fixes her will in Mine, and decides and confirms that she wants to live and operate only in my Volition. She anticipates all of her acts and makes them all flow in My Will. With the prevenient will, My Sun rises, My Life remains duplicated in all of her acts, as though in one single act; and this makes up for the actual act. However, the prevenient act can be shaded - obscured by the human ways, by one’s own will, by self-esteem, by negligence and other things, which are like clouds before the Sun, that render its light less vivid on the face of the earth.
On the other hand, the actual act is not subject to clouds; on the contrary, it has the virtue of dispelling the clouds, if there are any, and it makes many more suns rise, in which My Life is duplicated, with such vividness of light and heat as to form as many new suns, one more beautiful than the other. However, both of them are necessary: the prevenient act gives the hand, disposes and forms the plane for the actual act; the actual act preserves and expands the plane of the prevenient."

I continue what is written above. As I was concerned about all that regards the Kingdom of the Will of God, my always lovable Jesus added: “My daughter, God is order, and when He wants to give a good to creatures, He always places His Divine Order in it, and everything that is done in order to obtain a good so great begins from God, as He places Himself at the head of it to take on the commitment, and then orders the creature for the same purpose.
“I did this in order to give, Myself, the Redemption, and so that creatures might receive It; and I am doing this, Myself, to give the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, and so that creatures may receive It. By forming, Myself, the ‘Our Father,’ I placed Myself at the head of it and took on the commitment to give this Kingdom; and by teaching it to My Apostles, I placed in the creatures the order of how to be able to obtain a Good so great. So, the whole Church is praying—there is not one soul who belongs to Her that does not recite the ‘Our Father.’
“And even though many recite it without interest in wanting and asking for a Kingdom so holy—that the Divine Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven—since the interest is in He who taught it, by their reciting it, My Interest is renewed, and I hear My own prayer asking: ‘May Your Kingdom come, so that Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.’ However, if the creature, in reciting the ‘Our Father,’ had this interest of wanting and longing for My Kingdom, she would take part in My own interest, and her will would be fused in Mine for the same purpose. But, regardless of this, My Will and interest always run in each ‘Our Father.’
“See then, the Divine Order: all asking for one thing. Among these who ask there are some who want to do My Will, others who do It. All this is braided together, and they knock at the doors of My Divine Will—they repeat the knocking, and some knock strongly, some slowly. However, there is always someone who knocks and asks that the doors be opened, so that My Will may descend to reign upon earth. And since everything is established and ordered by the Divinity, It awaits the one who must give the strongest knock, who, forcing the doors with invincible strength—the very Strength of My Divine Will—will open wide the doors, and with her sweet chains of love will bind the Eternal Will to make It come to reign in the midst of creatures. She will be like a bride who, bejeweling the groom with her loving chains, will carry him as though in triumph into the midst of creatures. And just as the Holy Virgin put an end to the night hours of the Patriarchs and Prophets, and formed the dawn to make the Sun of the Eternal Word rise, so will this one form the dawn to make rise the Sun of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.
“Do you think that My Will, that has made Itself known with so much Love and has manifested so much interest in wanting to come to Reign upon earth, pouring Its Sorrow out with you, has done this without anyone praying to It? Ah, no! no! The knocks of My Church have been continuous, and I Myself was knocking in those knocks, but I used them to knock at the door of the Divine Fiat which, tired of hearing them knocking at Its Divine doors, has used you to be knocked more strongly; and opening the doors to you, It made you share in Its knowledges.
“And for as many Truths as It made known to you, so many means has It given you to form the loving chains, to let Itself be bound to come to Reign upon earth. And all the times It calls you to live in Its Divine Volition, making known to you Its Qualities, Its Power, Its Joys, Its Immense Riches, are as many pledges It gives you, with which It assures you of Its coming upon earth. In fact, in Us there is this prerogative: if We make known a Good of Ours, a Truth, a Knowledge that belongs to Us, it is because We want to give it to the creature as gift. See then, how many gifts My Will has given you; how many of Its knowledges It has made known to you. They are such and so many, that you yourself cannot count them.”
And I: “My Beloved Jesus, who knows when this Kingdom will come!”
And He: “My daughter, in order for Redemption to come it took four thousand years, because the people that prayed and longed for the future Redeemer was the smallest one, of limited number. But those that belong to My Church are more peoples and—oh! how much greater in number than that one. Therefore, the number will shorten the time; more so, since religion is making its way everywhere, and this is nothing but the preparation for the Kingdom of My Divine Will.”

… After this, I was continuing my acts in the Divine Fiat, and as I arrived at Eden, I thought to myself: “In this Eden, our first father Adam did the first acts in the Divine Fiat. The whole Creation had Its beginning within an Act of Divine Will operating in all created things; and so did the first man. The Divine Will extended the fullness of Its Sanctity, Power, Beauty and Light in each thing, making Itself Actor and Spectator, enclosing everything in one single Act of Its Divine Will. How beautiful was the Creation at Its beginning—one was the Will that operated; and the different acts were nothing other than the effects of It.”
But while I was thinking about this, my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, all generations hung upon the first acts done by Adam in the fullness of My Divine Will, because, being done in It, they were acts full of Life, and could give origin and life to all the other acts of all creatures. And even though creatures do not live of My Will, but of their own, yet, it is always My Will that gives them life; and while It gives them life, they keep It as though suffocated and agonizing in their acts. Therefore, all the acts of Adam done in My Will are there as prime act of all the acts of creatures.
“Who can destroy an act done in My Divine Will? Who can ever take away from it the Sovereignty, the Power, the Beauty, the Life? No one. There is nothing that does not hang upon the first Act; all created things hung upon the first Act done by He who created them. And if I so much Love, yearn and want that My Will be known and Reign in the midst of creatures, the reason is precisely this—that Its Rights, just and holy, be given back to It, and that all Creation, just as It had Its beginning, may, all of It, return into Our Divine Will.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - May 24, 1920 Volume 12
Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, the acts done in My Will dissolve the human acts, and identifying themselves with My Divine Acts, they rise up to Heaven, circulate in everyone, embrace all centuries, all points and all creatures. And since they remain fixed in My Will, these acts are, and will be, the defenders of My Throne for each offense which creatures give to Me — not only in the present time, but until the end of the centuries. Rising to defend Me, they will make reparations counter to the offenses that creatures will make. The acts done in My Will have the virtue of multiplying themselves according to the need and the circumstances which My Glory requires. What will the happiness of the soul be, when she finds herself up there in Heaven, and sees her acts done in My Will, as defenders of My Throne, and which, having a continuous echo of reparation, will reject the echo of the offenses that come from the earth?
“Therefore, the glory in Heaven of the soul who lives in My Will on earth will be different from that of the other Blessed. The others will draw all their contentments from Me; while these souls will not only draw them from Me, but will also have their own little rivers within My Sea. As they lived in My Volition on earth, they formed them by themselves within My Sea. It is just that in Heaven too they have this little river of happiness and contentments, which will extend over all the Blessed. How beautiful are these rivers, within My Sea! They pour into Me, and I into them. It will be an enchanting sight, at which all the Blessed will remain astonished."

… Then, afterwards, my poor mind was wandering in the Holy Divine Will, doing my usual acts in It. It seemed to me that everything was mine, and as I went around through all created things to impress everywhere my ‘I love You’, my adoration, my ‘Glory to my Creator’, I acquired new knowledge of what God has done for the creature, and of how much He has loved us. The Supreme Will seemed to delight in making known the new surprises of Its Love, so that I might follow Its Acts in order for It to give me the right to possess what has come out of Its Creative Will. My littleness wandered amid Its immense Goods. In the meantime, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and told me: “My daughter, when My Queen Mama came out to the light of the day, everyone was turned toward Her, and as though having one single gaze, all pupils looked at She who was to dry their tears by bringing to them the Life of the longed for Redeemer. All Creation was centered in Her, feeling honored to obey Her wishes. The Divinity Itself was all for Her and all intent on Her, in order to prepare Her and to form in Her, with surprising graces, the space into which the Eternal Word was to descend to take on human flesh. If the virtue were not present within Us that, while We operate, deal with or speak with one creature, We do not neglect the others, all would have said to Us: ‘Leave all of us aside, think of this Virgin; give – centralize everything in Her, that She may let the One come in whom Our Hopes, Our Life, all of Our Good, are placed.’ Therefore, the time in which the Sovereign Queen came out to the light of the day can be called the time of My Mama.
“This, My daughter, can be called your time. All are turned toward you; I hear the voice of all, as if it were one alone, praying Me, pressing Me, that My Will may reacquire Its absolute Divine rRghts over you, so that, acquiring Its total Dominion, It may pour into you all the fullness of Goods It had established to give if the creature had not withdrawn from My Will. So, the whole of Heaven, the Celestial Mama, the Angels and Saints – all are turned toward you for the Triumph of My Will, because their glory in Heaven will not be complete if My Will does not have Its complete Triumph on earth. Everything was created for the total fulfillment of the Supreme Will, and until Heaven and earth return into this circle of the Eternal Volition, they feel their works, their glory and beatitude as though halved, because, not having found Its complete fulfillment in the Creation, the Divine Will cannot give what It had established to give – that is, the fullness of Its Goods, of Its Effects, Joys and Happinesses which It contains. This is why they are all longing; My Will Itself is all for you and intent on you; It holds nothing back of graces, of light and whatever it takes to form in you the Greatest of Prodigies, which is Its fulfillment and Its total Triumph. Which one do you think is a greater prodigy: that a little light remains enclosed in the sun, or that the sun remains enclosed in the little light?”
And I: “It would certainly be more prodigious if the little light enclosed the sun; and indeed, it seems impossible to me that this may happen.” And Jesus: “What is impossible for the creature is possible for God. The little light is the soul, and My Will is the sun. Now, My Will must give so much to the little light as to be able to make of it a circle and be enclosed in It. And since the nature of light is to spread its rays everywhere, while remaining in triumph within this circle, It will spread Its Divine Rays to give the Life of My Will to all. This is the Prodigy of prodigies, which the whole of Heaven longs for. Therefore, give broad field to My Will – be opposed in nothing, so that what was established by God in the work of Creation may have its fulfillment.”
