As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus would not come, and I was thinking to myself about which would be the most beautiful act, and most pleasing to our Lord, which might more easily induce Him to come: sorrow for one’s own sins or resignation? In the meantime, He came for just a little, and told me: "Daughter, the most beautiful act, and most pleasing to Me, is the abandonment in My Will – but so great, that the soul would remember no more that her being exists; rather, everything for her is Divine Will. Even though sorrow for one’s own sins is good and praiseworthy, yet, it does not destroy one’s own being; while abandoning oneself completely in My Will destroys one’s own being, and makes one reacquire the Divine Being. Therefore, by abandoning herself in My Will, the soul gives Me more honor, because she gives Me everything I can demand of the creature, reacquiring, in Me, that which had come out of Me. And the soul comes to reacquire that which alone she should reacquire – that is, she reacquires God, with all the goods that God possesses. However, as long as the soul remains completely in the Will of God, she reacquires God; but as she goes out of My Will, she reacquires her own being, with all the evils of the corrupted nature."
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 22, 1920 Volume 12
I was bringing the whole human family to my sweet Jesus, according to my usual way, praying, repairing, substituting in the name of all, for everything that each one is obliged to do. But as I was doing this, a thought told me: “Think about and pray for yourself — don’t you see in what a pitiful state you have reduced yourself?’ And I was almost about to do so, when my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior and pulling me to Himself, told me: "My daughter, why do you want to move away from My likeness? I never thought about Myself — the sanctity of My Humanity was total unselfishness. I did nothing for Myself; rather, I did and suffered everything for the creatures. My Love can be called true, because it is founded on disinterest for My own self. Wherever there is interest, one cannot say that there a source of truth. On the other hand, the soul with no self-interest is the one who advances the most; and as she advances, the sea of My Grace reaches her from behind, inundating her in such a way that she remains completely submerged, without even thinking about it. One who thinks about herself, instead, is last; the sea of My Grace is in front of her, and she is the one who has to cross the sea by the armful — if she manages at all. In fact, the thought of herself will create many obstacles for her, such as to strike into her the fear of diving into My sea; and she runs the risk of remaining on the shore."
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 21, 1923 Volume 15
I was doing my usual adoration to my Crucified Good, and I was saying to Him: “I enter into Your Will; or rather, give me Your hand and place me in the immensity of Your Will Yourself, that I may do nothing which is not the effect of Your Most Holy Will.” Now, while I was saying this, I thought to myself: “How is this? The Divine Will is everywhere, I am already in It, and yet I say: I enter into your Will?” But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, yet, there is a great difference between one who prays and acts because My Will envelops her, being everywhere by Its own nature, and one who, of her own will, having the knowledge of what she does within herself, enters into the Divine Sphere of My Will to operate and pray.
Do you know what happens? It happens as when the sun fills the earth with its light, though the light and the heat are not the same at all points: at some points there is shade, at other points there is direct light and the heat is more intense. Now, who enjoys more light, who feels more heat: one who is in the shade, or one who is at those points where the light is not covered by shade? However, one cannot say that where there is shade there is no light, although where there is no shade the light is more vivid, the heat is more intense; even more, the rays of the sun seem to invest and absorb the creature. And if the sun had reason, and one creature exposed herself of her own will to its burning rays, and in the name of all said to it: “Thank you, O sun, for your light and for all the goods you produce by filling the earth; for all, I want to give you the return of the good you do” — what glory, honor and satisfaction would the sun not receive?
Now, it is true that My Will is everywhere, but the shade of the human will does not allow the soul to feel the vividness of the light, the heat, and all the good It contains. On the other hand, by wanting to enter into My Will, the soul lays down her own and removes the shade of her volition, and My Will makes Its vivid Light shine, It invests her, It transforms her into Light itself. And the soul, plunged into my Eternal Volition, says to Me: ‘Thank You, O Holy Supreme Volition, for Your Light and for all the goods You produce by filling Heaven and earth with your Eternal Will; for all, I want to give You the return of the good You do.’ And I feel such honor, glory and satisfaction, that no other equals it. My daughter, how many evils the shade of one’s own will does: it cools down the soul, it produces sloth, sleep, sluggishness. The opposite for one who lives in My Will.”
Then, after this, I found myself outside of myself, and I saw as if contagious diseases were to come, and many people were carried to leper hospitals. A general fright was reigning, and many other maladies of new kinds. But I hope that Jesus may want to placate Himself by the merits of His most precious Blood.
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 20, 1925 Volume 17
I felt immersed in the Holy Will of God, and my sweet Jesus, drawing me to Himself, squeezed me very tightly in His arms, and then He said to me: "My daughter, oh how beautiful is My Rest in the soul who has My Will as life, and who lets My Will act and love, entirely and completely, within her! You must know that as the soul breathes, palpitates, works, thinks, loves, acts, even though everything is carried out within her, since My Will has become the center of life in her, it is My Will that breathes, palpitates, loves, thinks, acts, gives Motion to her work, circulation to her blood, thought to her mind, love to her heart, and the like. Now, since this Will is the same as the one which the Three Divine Persons have, it happens that They feel within Them the breath of the soul, her heartbeat, her motion. And since every time Our Will decides to form one Act, It releases from Us New Joys, New Beatitudes, New Happinesses which, harmonizing everything among the Three Divine Persons, form Immense Seas of New Happiness, and enwrapping all the Blessed, these remain enraptured within these joys, and are shaken by this rapture; and while they are shaken, they remain enraptured more strongly within Our Immeasurable Beatitudes – using Our Will, she wants to form more Acts of Will to make Us happy and to make Us release more Beatitudes. Now, the soul who lets Our Will Live within her, reaches such a point that, as she lets It Operate, she gives Us the occasion to set Our Beatitudes, Our Harmonies and the Infinite Joys of Our Love, in motion. She makes Us release New Beauties and New Glories of Ours.
Our Will Operating in the creature is so very pleasing, tender and lovable to Us; It makes Us New Surprises; It sets Our things in motion in order to give Us the return of Our Glory, of Our Love, of Our happinesses — and all this, through the creature who has given the place within herself to let Our Will Live. How not to love this birth from Our Will? More so, since Our Will renders this creature more lovable, gracious, beautiful to Us, in such a way that in no one else do we find her qualities. She is a work done by Our Will, with such mastery as to enchant all of Heaven, and to render her lovable to all – and even more so, to the Sacrosanct Trinity." And while He was saying this, He squeezed me more tightly, and letting me place my mouth in His Heart, He added: "You too — drink Our Beatitudes in large gulps. Satiate yourself, in the way you want, and as much as you want."
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 19, 1929 Volume 26
My poor mind was wandering in the Divine Fiat; I felt the sweet enchantment of Its enrapturing light, and I thought to myself: “But, what is this Divine Will in my poor soul?”
And my beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, what fortune yours is to live under the sweet enchantment of My Divine Volition. Don’t you know that when It takes possession of the creature, It forms in her Its Operating Life, in such a way that It Operates in the one in whom It Reigns just as It Operates within Itself? And, more than Queen, It imposes Itself over everything, It extends with Its Light in the littleness of the creature, It forms in her Its sweet enchantment for the human will so as to be more free to form Its Life.
“And since the Divine Life of My Fiat is composed of repeated acts never interrupted, It is not subject to stopping, and this is why you feel within yourself an Act that never ends, a Light that is never extinguished, a Love that always burns. Not so for those who do not live in My Volition. They feel the Divine Life interrupted in their interior, their acts broken; they feel themselves now one way, now another; their will is not invested by a continuous Light that sweetly nourishes them and enchants them, such that, feeling the Sweetness of My Volition, they would give not a thought to entering the field in order to operate in a human way; and if they feel the Light, it is at intervals.
“A symbol of one who lives in My Divine Will is one who could be able to remain always under the sun. Its light never ends, nor does it need to be fed in order not to become extinguished. So, one who could live under the sun would feel light raining down constantly upon herself; and since the light contains admirable effects, she would nourish herself with sweetnesses, with fragrances, with varieties of colors, with lights, in such a way as to feel the very life of the sun being formed within herself.
“On the other hand, one who does not live in My Will, be it even one who is not evil, is symbolized by one who lives under the light of the low world, that has neither the virtue nor the power to form a sweet enchantment of light, such as to eclipse her so much that she would not be able to look at anything but light. And it is subject to becoming extinguished very often, because it does not possess by nature the continuous nourishing virtue; and if it is not nourished, her light ends; and since a light formed by the creature possesses neither sweetness, nor colors, nor fragrances, she cannot feel the life of that light being formed within herself. What great difference between one who lives in My Divine Will and one who lives outside of It.”
May everything be for the glory of God, and for the good of my poor soul.
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 18, 1901 Volume 4
As I was in my usual state, I saw my sweet Jesus for a little, and I began my laments about my poor state of His privations, and about a sort of tiredness, physical and moral, as if I felt my poor nature being crushed and failing me in all its parts. Then, after I said all this to my Jesus, He told me; "My daughter, do not be concerned about your feeling faint in all parts; don’t you know that everything must be sacrificed for Me, not only in the soul but also in the body? And that from the tiniest little particles of your being I demand My glory? And then, don’t you know that from the state of union one passes on to another one, which is that of consummation? It is true that I am not coming as usual so as to chastise the people, but I use this also for your own profit, which is not only that of keeping you united with Me, but of consuming you for love of Me. In fact, as I do not come and you feel faint because of My absence, don’t you come to be consumed for Me? After all, you do not have great reason to afflict yourself — first, because when you see Me, it is always from your interior that you see Me come out, and this is a sure sign that I am with you; and also, because not one day has yet come in which you can say that you have not seen Me perfectly."
After this, His voice assuming a sweeter and more benign tone, He added: "My daughter, I recommend to you, very, very much, that you let not even the slightest act which is not patience, resignation, sweetness, sameness, tranquillity in everything, come out of yourself. Otherwise you would dishonor Me, and it would happen as to that king who lived in a palace which was well adorned inside, but on the outside it could be seen as full of cracks, stained, and about to collapse. Would people not say: ‘What? A king lives in this palace, and yet, such an ugly configuration can be seen outside as to make one fear even to draw near it? Who knows what a king he must be!’ Would this not be a dishonor for that king? Now think that if anything which is not virtue comes out of you, they would say the same about Me, and I, who live inside of you, would remained dishonored.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 17, 1932 Volume 30
My abandonment in the Divine Volition continues; I feel Its Omnipotent Force that invests me completely, and my little soul is as though undone, in such a way that I want, I feel, I touch nothing but Divine Will alone. And if some little cloud invests my mind, Its Divine Light, immediately, almost without giving me time, inundates me and puts it to flight for me; and I throw myself either into the arms of my Celestial Mama, as my Refuge, or into the arms of my most sweet Jesus, to find again my dear Life; and I pray, now one, now the other, to enclose me in-between Their Acts, that I may be safe and defended from everything and from everyone.
But while I was thinking of this and other things, my Highest Good, Jesus, clasping me in His arms, told me: “Blessed daughter, My Acts and those of My Queen Mama, Our Love, Our Sanctity, are in Act of continuous waiting, to enclose your acts in- between Our Own, so as to give them the shape of Our Acts and place the Seal of Our Own upon your acts. In fact, you must know that the Acts of the Sovereign of Heaven are braided with My Acts, therefore they are inseparable, and one who Lives in Our Divine Volition comes to Operate in the middle of Our Braiding, and her acts remain enclosed in-between Our Acts, which keep them in custody as Triumph and Works of the Holy Fiat.
“Nothing enters into Our Acts if it is not a Birth from It. See, then, where the Sanctity of one who Lives in Our Will is formed—in the middle of Our Sanctity; she loves in the center of Our Love, and operates in the midst of Our Works. So, one who operates in Our Volition will feel, as though in her nature, the inseparability—she from Our Acts, and We form her own, just as the light is inseparable from the heat, and the heat from the light. And therefore they are Our continuous Triumph, Our Glory, Our Victory over the human will; they are Our Divine Properties, that We form in her, and she forms in Us. The human volition and the Divine Volition kiss each other continuously, they fuse together; and God carries out His Life in the creature, and she carries out her life in God.
“Furthermore, for the creature who Lives in My Will, there is nothing that belongs to My Fiat over which she does not acquire her Rights: Right over Our Divine Being, Right over her Celestial Mama, over the Angels, over the Saints; Right over the Heaven, over the sun, over the whole Creation. And God, the Virgin, and everyone, acquire the Right over her.
“It happens as when two young spouses unite themselves together with an indissoluble bond, such that, on both sides, they acquire the right over their very persons, and over everything that belongs to both—a right that no one can take away from them. The same for one who Lives in Our Volition: she forms the New, True, Real Marriage with the Supreme Being, and, with it, a nuptial is formed with everything that belongs to Him. O! how beautiful it is to see this creature espoused to all—the dear, the favorite, the beloved of all. And, with right, everyone wants her, they yearn to enjoy her and to keep her together with them; and she Loves all, gives to all the right over her, and gives herself to all—it is the New and Extensive Family of her Creator that she has acquired.
“O! if it could be seen from the earth, they would see that God carries her in His arms, the Sovereign Queen Nourishes her with the choice food of the Divine Volition, the Angels and Saints form the Cortege around her, the Heaven extends over her to cover her and protect her—and woe to those who touch her. The sun fixes on her with its light and kisses her with its heat, the wind caresses her; there is not one thing Created by Us which does not offer itself to perform its Office around her. My Will moves everything around her, so that everyone and everything may serve her and love her. Therefore, one who Lives in It gives everyone something to do, and all feel the Happiness of being able to extend their field of action inside and outside the fortunate creature. O! if all creatures would comprehend what it means to Live in My Divine Will—O! how all would aspire and compete, to make in It their Celestial Dwelling.”
Then, I was feeling, more than ever, all abandoned in the Immensity of the Light of the Divine Volition, and I could see and feel my sweet Jesus inside, all Attention over the littleness of my poor soul. He would take care of everything, He wanted to give me everything, do everything, in such a way that it appeared how, with the touch of His fingers, He formed my heartbeat, animated the breath, the motion, and kept the thoughts, the words and everything in Order; but with such Love and Tenderness as to be enrapturing.
And blessed Jesus, seeing me surprised, told me: “My little daughter, do not be surprised at My many attentions and Loving Tendernesses that I do inside and outside of you. You must know that in the soul in whom My Divine Will Reigns I serve Myself; therefore, for the decorum of My Divinity and Sanctity, I lend My own Acts, as if they were for My own Life; and so I place the Intensity of My Love, the Order of My Thoughts, the Sanctity of My Works. And in seeing the docility of the creature offering herself like a daughter to receive the Offices of her Father, His Loving Tendernesses, the Life of the Father in his daughter—O! how Happy and honored I feel to serve her. More so, since I serve Myself in My daughter, and when one serves oneself it is not servitude, but it is Honor, Glory; it is to know how to preserve oneself in the Dignity, in the Sanctity, in the order of one’s own state, without descending down below. Servitude begins when one serves other people; but to serve oneself is to maintain the height of one’s state. Besides, there where My Divine Will Reigns it is My Interest that everything the creature does be acts Worthy of It, and that they be a Birth from My own Acts. Otherwise, it would be unseemly to My Divine Will as well as to the human acts; therefore I offer Myself to do everything, so as to serve My own Will.”
In addition to this, while I continued my abandonment in the arms of Jesus, He added: “Blessed daughter, My Humanity so Loved the human family, that I carried it, and My Humanity still carries it, inside My Heart and clasped in My arms; and each Pain, Work, Prayer that I did were New Bonds of Union between Me and them. So, the whole of My Being and everything I did ran and ran like a mighty torrent toward each creature; and melting into Love It constituted Itself Bond of Union, of Love, of Sanctity, of Defense, that, forming arcane voices of penetrating, passionate, delirious Love, said to each one of them: ‘I Love you, My children—I Love you very much; and I want to be Loved.’
“My Humanity reordered and established the True Union between Creator and creature, and bound them all among themselves, like members united to the head; and I Myself constituted Myself Head of the whole human family. Therefore, virtue possesses, of its own, the binding force to bind oneself to God; not only this, but to bind oneself to the creatures, in such a way that for one who exercises patience, her patience is bound, then, to all those who have patience, and disposes others to have patience. In the same way, those who are obedient, humble, charitable, form the different categories in My Church. What to tell you, then, of the most extensive Bonds that one who does and Lives in My Divine Will forms! Since she is present both in Heaven and on earth, she establishes her Bonds everywhere; with her acts she binds Heaven and earth, and calls everyone to Live of Divine Will.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 16, 1919 Volume 12
I was thinking in my interior: “Where are the pains that my sweet Jesus had told me He would let me share in — while I am suffering almost nothing?” And my always lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, how you deceive yourself! You calculate the physical pains; I calculate physical and moral pains. Each time you have been deprived of Me, it was a death that you felt, and I felt I was being repaired for the many deaths which creatures give themselves through sin — and you took part in the many deaths which I suffered. When you were feeling cold — that was another little death you felt, and you shared in the coldness of the creatures, who would want to cool My Love. But my Love, triumphant over their coldness, absorbs it into Me, to feel the death of their coldness; and I give to them more ardent love. And so with all your other pains: they were evils opposite those of the creatures; and like many little deaths, they made you share in My deaths.
“And then, don’t you know that My Justice suspends your pains, when it is forced by the evil of peoples to pour out new chastisements? Evils will be so grave as to be horrifying. I know that this is a pain for you, but I too had the same pain. I would have wanted to free creatures from all pains, both in time and in Eternity, but this was not granted to Me by the Wisdom of the Father, and I had to resign Myself. Would you perhaps want to surpass My very Humanity? Ah, daughter, no kind of sanctity is without Cross! No virtue can be acquired without union with pains. However, know that I will repay you at usurious interest for all my privations, and even for the pains that you would want to suffer, and you don’t."
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 15, 1916 Volume 11
Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came, He transformed me completely in Him, and then He told me: "Daughter, pour yourself into My Will to make complete reparations for Me. My Love feels an irresistible need for them; after so many offenses of creatures, it wants one at least who, placing herself between Me and them, would give Me complete reparations, love for all, and would snatch from Me graces for all. But you can do this only in My Will, in which you will find Me and all creatures. Oh, with what yearnings am I waiting for you to enter into My Will, to be able to find in you the satisfactions and the reparations of all! Only in My Will will you find all things in act, because I am engine, actor and spectator of everything." Now, while He was saying this, I poured myself into His Will – but who can say what I saw? I was in contact with every thought of creature, the life of which came from God; and I, in His Will, multiplied myself in each thought, and with the sanctity of His Will I repaired everything, I had a ‘Thank You’ for all, a love for all. Then I multiplied myself in the gazes, in the words and in everything else – but who can say what was happening? I lack the terms, and maybe the very angelic tongues would stammer; therefore I stop here.
So I spent the whole night with Jesus in His Will. Then I felt the Queen Mama near me, and She told me: "My daughter, pray." And I: “My Mama, let us pray together, for by myself I don’t know how to pray.” And She added: "The most powerful prayers over the Heart of my Son, and those which move Him the most, are for the creature to clothe herself with everything He Himself did and suffered, since He gave everything as gift to the creature. Therefore, my daughter, surround your head with the thorns of Jesus, bead your eyes with His tears, impregnate your tongue with His bitterness, clothe your soul with His Blood, adorn yourself with His wounds, pierce your hands and feet with His nails, and like another Christ present yourself before His Divine Majesty. This sight will move Him in such a way that He will not be able to deny anything to the soul who is clothed with His own insignia. But – oh, how little do creatures know how to make use of the gifts which my Son gave them! These were my prayers upon earth, and these are my prayers in Heaven." So, together we clothed ourselves with the insignia of Jesus, and together we presented ourselves before the Divine Throne. This moved all; the Angels made way for us and remained as though surprised. I thanked Mama, and I found myself inside myself.
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 14, 1929 Volume 26
I was continuing my round in the Supreme Fiat, and my little mind, arriving at Eden, was saying: “Adorable Majesty, I come before You to bring You my little interest of my ‘I love You,’ ‘I adore You,’ ‘I glorify You,’ ‘I thank You,’ ‘I bless You,’ to give You my little interest because You have given me a heaven, a sun, an air, a sea, a flowery earth, and everything that You have created for me. You once told me that each day you want to do the accounts with me and receive this small interest of mine, so that we may always be in agreement; and keep the whole Creation, given to me by You as little daughter of Your Will, safe inside the little bank of my soul.”
But while I was doing this, a thought told me: “But, how can you satisfy an interest so great? And besides, how great at all is your ‘I love You,’ ‘I adore You,’ ‘I thank You?’” But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, this was an agreement between Me and you—that I would put the whole Creation in the bank of your soul, and you would have to give Me the interest, filling It with your ‘I love You,’ ‘I adore You,’ ‘I thank You.’ And since I saw you hampered because of a capital so great, and fearing that you might want to reject this great gift from Me, in order to encourage you to receive it, I said to you: ‘I am content with a small interest, and we will do the accounts every day here in Eden. In this way we will remain in agreement and always in peace, and you will not be worried that your Jesus has placed in your bank a capital so great.’
“And then, don’t you know the value of an ‘I love You’ in My Divine Will? My Will fills the heavens, the sun, the sea, the wind—Its life extends everywhere; therefore, as you say your ‘I love You,’ ‘I adore You’ and everything else you might say, My Fiat extends your ‘I love You’ in the heavens, and your ‘I love You’ becomes more extensive than the heavens; your ‘I adore You’ extends in the sun, and it becomes larger and longer than its light. Your ‘I glorify You’ extends in the wind, and it wanders through the air, throughout the whole earth, and its moans, the blows of the wind, now caressing, now mighty, say: ‘I glorify You.’ Your ‘I thank You’ extends within the sea, and the drops of water and the darting of the fish say: ‘I thank You.’ And I see the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea, the wind, filled with your ‘I love You,’ with your adorations, and the like; and I say: ‘How content I am that I placed everything in the bank of the little daughter of My Will—because she pays Me the interest wanted by Me.
“And since she lives in It, she gives Me a Divine and equivalent interest, because My Fiat extends her little acts and renders them more extensive than the whole Creation.’ And when I see you coming into Eden to give Me your small interest, I look at you and I see in you My Divine Will doubled—one in you, and the other in Me, while It is one; and I see Myself being paid the interest by My Will Itself—and I remain satisfied, and, oh! how content I am in seeing that My Fiat has given to the creature the virtue of making Itself be doubled, so as to let her satisfy her Creator.
“My daughter, how many unforgettable things there are in this Eden. Here Our Fiat created man, and made such display of love, that It poured Itself in torrents upon him; so much so, that We still feel the sweet murmuring with which We poured Ourselves over him. Here began the life of Our Fiat in the creature, and the sweet and dear memory of the acts of the first man done in It. These acts exist still now in Our Volition, and are as though pledges for him to be reborn in order to have the Kingdom of Our Fiat again.
“In this Eden there is the sorrowful memory of the fall of man, the exit he made from Our Kingdom. We still hear his steps when he went out of Our Divine Fiat; and since this Eden had been given to him so that he would live in It, We were forced to put him out, and We had the sorrow of seeing the work dearest to Us without his Kingdom, wandering and sorrowful. Our only relief were the pledges of his acts, that had remained in Our Will; these called for the rights of humanity to enter again the place from which it had gone out.
“This is why I await you in Eden to receive your small interest, to renew what We did in the Creation, and to receive the return for a love so great, not understood by creatures, and to find a loving pretext to give the Kingdom of Our Divine Will. Therefore, I want this Eden to be dear to you as well, that you may pray Us and press Us that the beginning of Creation, the life of Our Fiat, may return into the midst of the human family.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 13, 1901 Volume 4
After a long silence on the part of my adorable Jesus – at the most, a few things about the scourges He wants to pour – this morning, as I was oppressed and tired because of my hard position, especially because of the continuous privations to which I am often subjected, I saw Him for short instants, and He told me: "My daughter, crosses and tribulations are the bread of eternal beatitude." I comprehended that as we suffer more, more abundant and more enjoyable will be the bread that will nourish us in the celestial dwelling; that is, the more we suffer, the greater the deposit we receive of the future glory.
Divine Will for every day of the year - June 12, 1938 Volume 36
… Then He added with Unspeakable Tenderness: “My good daughter, I Love creatures very much, but I feel more captured, won and attracted to Love the soul that Lives abandoned in My arms, as if she had nobody in the world—only her Jesus—trusting Me and Me only. If she is offered other kinds of support she refuses them, to have only the support of her Jesus who holds her tightly in His arms, defending her and taking care of her completely. These are the souls that I Love very, very much—My favorite ones. I surround them with My Divine Power. I build around them the wall of My Love. Woe to those who touch them! My Love will know how to defend them and My Power will know how to topple those who want to displease her.
“The souls abandoned in Me, Live only of Me and I of them, as if We Lived on one Breath and one Love. If some human support arises, they look into it to see if I'm there, and if I'm not, they run away to find shelter in My arms. Only these are the souls I can really trust, confide to them My Secrets, and lean on them as well. I am certain that they do not get out of My Will because they are always with Me. The one who doesn't Live abandoned in Me, instead, runs away from My arms; she does not refuse human supports. Rather, she gets a taste for them. She is inconstant. One moment she looks for Me, another, for creatures. She is forced to feel the disillusion from creatures that opens deep gashes in the soul, and she feels the earth in her heart—My Will as Life, far away from herself.
“O, if everyone abandoned themselves in My arms! The earth would disappear for them, they wouldn't pay attention to anybody, I would be enough for all. I Love, so much, the one who Lives abandoned in My arms that I show her the Greatest Excesses of My Love, My Love jokes, My caresses. I reach the point of inventing New Love tricks to keep them busy and centered in My Love. Therefore, Live abandoned in My arms and in everything you will find your Jesus defending, helping and sustaining you.”
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.

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. …”

… 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.”
