Divine Will for every day of the year - May 25, 1923 Volume 15

“… So, this great gift of the whole universe was delivered by My Celestial Father to My Humanity, as to a true legitimate Son, and there was nothing for which I did not requite Him — gift for gift, love for love.  Then came My Celestial Mother, who was able to requite Her Creator so well.  And then, the children of My Will have come, whom My Will was to legitimize as Its true children.  This is why all Creation exults with Joy, makes Feast and Smiles when, as I draw you outside of yourself, together with Me it recognizes the legitimate daughter of the Supreme Will – its true owner.  All created things would want to run up onto your lap and around you, not only to make feast for you, but to be appreciated, defended, and considered as gifts of their Creator; and they all compete to give you, each one of them, distinct love and the gift which each created thing contains.  Some want to give you the gift of the Beauty of your Creator and the Love that Beauty contains; some, the gift of Power and the Love that Power contains; some, the gift of Wisdom, some of Goodness, some of Sanctity, some of Light, some of Purity, as well as the distinct loves contained in Wisdom, Goodness, Sanctity, Light, Purity, etc.  

“So, My Will knocks down all the barriers that exist between the soul and God; It places her in Harmony between Heaven and earth; It reveals all secrets contained in the whole Creation, and It renders her the depository of all the gifts of God.”

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.”

This time my adorable Jesus wanted to play a little bit. He would come, He would show He wanted to listen to me, but as I would begin to speak, He would disappear from me like a flash. Oh, God, what pain! While my heart was swimming in this most bitter pain of Jesus’s distance, and it was also almost a little restless, Jesus came back again, telling me: “What is it? What is it? More peaceful, more calm. Speak, speak, what do you want?” But the moment I spoke, He disappeared.

I did as much as I could to calm myself, but – no, after a while my heart returned to being unable to give itself peace, without its only and sole comfort; and maybe more than before. Coming back again, Jesus told me: “My daughter, sweetness has the virtue of making things change their nature; it knows well how to convert bitter into sweet. Therefore, more sweet, more sweet!” But He gave me no time to say a word. This is how I spent the morning.

After this, I felt I was outside of myself, together with Jesus. There were many people; some aspired to riches, some to honor, some to glory, and some even to sanctity, and many other things – but not for God, but rather, to be considered someone by creatures. Turning to them, shaking His head, Jesus said: “Foolish you are – you are working your own net to entangle yourselves.”

Then, turning to me, He told me: “My daughter, this is why the first thing I recommend is detachment from all things, and also from oneself. When the soul has detached herself from everything, she has no need to struggle in order to stay away from all the things of the earth which, by themselves, come around her. But rather, in seeing themselves ignored, and even more, despised, saying good-bye to her, they take leave of her to bother her no more.”

This morning, as I received Communion, blessed Jesus did not come; and after waiting for a long time between vigil and sleep, in seeing that time was passing and Jesus was not coming, I wanted to go out of my sleep, but at the same time I wanted to stay, because of the torment I felt in my heart at not having seen Him. I felt like a baby who, wanting to sleep and being awakened by force, starts making fusses and cries; however, in my fussing, while striving to wake up I said within my interior: “What bitter separation! I feel lifeless, yet I live – but life is harder than death. However, may Your privation be for love of You; for love of You the bitterness I feel; for love of You my tormented heart; for love of You the life I don’t feel, though I live. But so that it may be more acceptable to You, I unite this suffering of mine to the intensity of Your Love, and with mine, I offer You Your own Love.”

But as I was saying this, He moved in my interior and told me: “How sweet and delightful to My Hearing is the note of Love. Say it, say it once more – repeat it again; cheer My Hearing with these notes of Love, so harmonious, which descend deep into my Heart and sweeten all of Me.”

Yet, who would believe it? I am ashamed to say it… In my huffiness, I answered: “I don’t want to say it – You get sweetened, while I get more embittered.” My sweet Jesus kept silent, as though being displeased with my answer; and as soon as I woke up, I repeated my notes of Love many times. However, He did not let Himself be heard or seen for the whole day.

… After this, I continued to think about the adorable Fiat, and my sweet Jesus continued, saying:  “My daughter, one who lives in My Divine Will is under the continuous Outpouring of her Creator.  Our Love toward her is so great, that We are so enraptured in seeing Our Fiat in the littleness of the creature, that We want to give her always—always, without ever ceasing.  Now, this Divine Outpouring of Ours fills her so much as to leave not one void within her, in such a way that, whatever place she leans on, she always finds the fullness of Our Outpouring that sustains her, in such a way that she cannot bend over herself because Our Outpouring sustains her and carries her as though in triumph in Its Arms.  

“But do you know what We pour out?  Love, Light, Grace, Sanctity, Power, etc.  Now, all these qualities of Ours compete among themselves for carrying this little creature in their arms.  It seems that they vie with one another for her, and they take turns, so as to say:  ‘We all have carried her.’  And while each of them carries her in its arms, if it is Love that carries her, it fills her so much with love as to take pleasure in seeing the tiny little one drowned—drowned with its Love; and only when it sees her overflow with Love, then does it content itself with letting her pass into the arms of Light; because they want to see, being repeated in the tiny little one, what her Creator has done.  The Light takes delight in drowning her with Light; Grace, in drowning her with Grace; power, in drowning her with Power—but so much, as to captivate the Creator Himself.  

“In sum, this little creature lives under the continuous Outpouring of God, that fills her so much that she feels drowned and cannot contain it, in such a way that she is forced to pour it outside.  So, what you say about My Divine Will is nothing other than the outpouring of what you contain inside.”

Continuing in my usual state, I was saying to my sweet Jesus: “How I wish I had Your Desires, Your Love, Your Affections, Your Heart, etc., to be able to desire, to love, etc., as You do.”  And my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, I do not have desires or affections, but everything is concentrated in My Will. My Will is everything in Me. Those who can not, desire; but I can — everything. Those who do not have love, wish to love; but in My Will there is the Fullness, the Fount of True Love. And since I am infinite, in one simple act of My Will I possess all goods, which, overflowing from My Being, descend for the good of all. If I had desires, I would be unhappy, I would lack something; but I possess everything, therefore I am happy and I make everyone happy.

“Being infinite means having the Power to do everything, to possess everything, to make everything happy. The creature, who is finite, does not possess everything, nor can she embrace everything. This is why she has desires, anxieties, affections, etc., which she can use as many steps in order to ascend to her Creator, lap up His Divine Qualities, and be filled so much as to overflow for the good of others. 

“But if the soul concentrates all of herself in My Will, dissolving herself completely in My Volition, then, she will not just lap up My Qualities, but in one single gulp she will absorb Me into herself. She will no longer have her own desires and affections in herself, but only the Life of My Will, which, dominating her completely, will make everything disappear from her, and will make My Will reappear in everything.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 19, 1911 Volume 10

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen all afflicted, and I was around Him, all intent on compassionating Him, loving Him, embracing Him and consoling Him, with all the fullness of confidence; and my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, you are My Contentment. I like it this way – that the soul forgets about herself, about her miseries, and occupies herself only with Me, with My Afflictions, with My Bitternesses, with My Love, and she remains around Me with all confidence. This confidence captures My Heart and inundates Me with so much Joy that, just as the soul forgets all of herself for Me, I forget everything for her, and I make her one single thing for Me; and I reach the point of not only giving her, but of letting her take everything she wants. On the other hand, to the soul who does not forget everything for Me, even her miseries, and who, if she wants to be around Me, does so with all respect, with fear and without the confidence that captures My Heart, as though wanting to be with Me with fearful restraint and all circumspect – to this one I give nothing, and she can take nothing, because the key of confidence, of ease, of simplicity is missing. These are all necessary things in order for Me to give, and for her to receive; and so, she comes with miseries, and with miseries she remains.”

As I was feeling oppressed, I was almost about to be surprised by the poisonous waves of disturbance.  My lovable Jesus, my faithful sentry, immediately ran to prevent disturbance from entering into me, and scolding me, told me:  “Daughter, what are you doing?  The love and the interest I have to maintain the soul at peace are such and so great that I am forced to make miracles in order to keep the soul at peace; and those who disturb these souls would want to confront Me and prevent this miracle of Mine, all of Love.  So, I recommend to you – be balanced in everything.  My Being is in Full Balance in everything, and yet I do see and feel evils, and bitternesses I do not lack.  Nevertheless, I never become unbalanced, My Peace is Perennial, My Thoughts are Peaceful, My Words are honeyed with Peace, the beating of My Heart is never tumultuous, even in the midst of Immense Joys or interminable bitternesses; the very operating of My Hands in the act of scourging flows over the earth as enveloped in waves of Peace.  So, if you do not maintain yourself at peace, since I am in your heart I feel dishonored, and My Way and yours are no longer in accord; I would feel hindered in you from carrying out My Ways in you, and therefore you would render Me unhappy.  Only peaceful souls are My staffs on which I lean; and when the many iniquities snatch scourges from My Hands, by leaning on these staffs I always do less than what I should do.  Ah! if – may it never be – I lacked these staffs, in lacking My supports I would send everything to ruin.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 17, 1925 Volume 17

After I had the Confessor hear what is written above - with the date of May 10th - on fusing myself in the Divine Volition, he was not satisfied, and ordered me to continue to write about the way to fuse myself in the Holy Divine Volition. So, out of obedience, and for fear that my Jesus might be even slightly disappointed, I continue.

Now, I add that as that immense void comes before my mind, in fusing myself in the Supreme Volition, the little child begins her round again, and rising up high, she wants to repay her God for all the love He had for all creatures in Creation. She wants to honor Him as Creator of all things, and so she goes around the stars, and in each flickering of light I impress my “I love You” and “Glory to my Creator”. In every atom of the light of the sun that comes down, my “I love you” and “Glory”. In the whole expanse of the heavens, between the distance from one step to another, my “I LOVE YOU” and “GLORY”. In the warbling of the bird, in the beating of its wings: “Love” and “Glory” to my Creator. In the blade of grass which sprouts from the earth, in the flower that blooms, in the fragrance that ascends: “Love” and “Glory”. On the peak of the mountains and in the depths of the valleys: “Love” and “Glory”. I wander through every heart of creature as though wanting to enclose myself and shout from within, to every heart, my “I love you” and “Glory to my Creator”. And then, as if I had gathered everything together in such a way that everything gives return of love and recognition of glory for all that God has done in Creation, I go to His Throne, and I say to Him: ‘Supreme Majesty and Creator of all things, this little child comes into your arms to tell You that all of Creation, in the name of all creatures, gives You not only return of love, but also the just glory for the so many things You created for love of us. In your Will, in this immense empty space, I wandered everywhere, so that all things may glorify You, love You and bless You. And now that I have put in relation the love between Creator and creature, which the human will had broken - as well as the glory that everyone owed You, let your Will descend upon earth, that It may bind and strengthen all the relations between Creator and creature, and so that all things may return to the original order established by You. Therefore, hurry, do not delay any longer – don’t You see how the earth is full of evils? Your Will alone can stop this current and save it – your Will, known and ruling.’

After this, I feel that my office is still not complete. So I descend to the bottom of that empty space, in order to repay Jesus for the Work of Redemption. And as though finding all that He did in act, I want to give Him my return for all the acts that all creatures should have done in waiting for Him and receiving Him upon earth. Then, as though wanting to transform all of myself into love for Jesus, I go back to my refrain, and I say: ‘“I LOVE YOU” in the act of descending from Heaven to be incarnated, and I impress my “I LOVE YOU” in the act of being conceived in the most pure womb of the Virgin Mary. “I LOVE YOU” in the first drop of blood which was formed in your Humanity. “I LOVE YOU” in the first beat of your Heart, to mark all your heartbeats with my “I LOVE YOU”. “I LOVE YOU” in your first breath; “I LOVE YOU” in your first pains; “I LOVE YOU” in the first tears You shed in the maternal womb. I want to return your prayers, your reparations, your offerings, with my “I LOVE YOU”. “I LOVE YOU” in your birth. “I LOVE YOU” in the cold you suffered. “I LOVE YOU” in each drop of the milk you suckled from your Most Holy Mama. I want to fill with my “I LOVE YOUs” the clothes with which your Mama swaddled You. I lay my “I LOVE YOU” upon that ground on which your Mama placed You in the manger, as your most tender limbs felt the hardness of the hay – but more than of hay, the hardness of hearts. My “I LOVE YOU” in each of your wailings, in all the tears and sufferings of your childhood. I make my “I LOVE YOU” flow in all the relations and communications and love You had with your Immaculate Mama. “I LOVE YOU” in Her dearest kisses, in each word You said, in the food You took, in the steps You took, in the water You drank. “I LOVE YOU” in the work You did with your hands. “I LOVE YOU” in all the acts You did during your hidden Life. I seal my “I LOVE YOU” in each one of your interior acts and in the pains You suffered. I lay my “I LOVE YOU” upon the paths You covered, in the air You breathed, in all the sermons You made during your public Life. My “I LOVE YOU” flows in the power of the miracles You made, in the Sacraments You instituted. In everything, O my Jesus, even in the most intimate fibers of your Heart, I impress my “I LOVE YOU”, for me and for all. Your Will makes everything present to me, and nothing do I want to leave, in which my “I LOVE YOU” is not impressed. 

Your little Daughter of your Will feels this duty - as there’s nothing else she can do - that You may have at least my little “I LOVE YOU” for everything You did for me and for all. Therefore my “I LOVE YOU” follows You in all the pains of your Passion, in all the spit, scorn and insults they gave You. My “I LOVE YOU” seals every drop of the Blood You shed, every blow You received, every wound that formed in your body, each thorn that transfixed your head, the bitter pains of the Crucifixion, the words You pronounced on the Cross. Up to your last breath, I intend to impress my “I LOVE YOU”. I want to enclose all your Life, all your acts, with my “I LOVE YOU”. I want You to touch, see and feel my continuous “I LOVE YOU”. My “I LOVE YOU” will never leave You – your very Will is the life of my “I LOVE YOU”.

But do You know what this little child wants? That the Divine Will of your Father, which You loved so much, and which You did during all your Life upon earth, make Itself known to all creatures, so that all may love It and fulfill your Will, on earth as It is in Heaven. This little child would want to surpass You in love, so that You may give your Will to all creatures. Please, make this poor little one happy, who wants nothing but what You want: that your Will be known and reign upon all the earth.’

Now I believe that obedience will be happy in some way. Though it is true that in many things I had to make a few jumps, otherwise I would never end. Fusing myself in the Divine Volition is like a springing fount for me; and every tiny thing I hear and see, even one offense given to my Jesus, is occasion for me for new ways and new fusions in His Most Holy Will.

Now, I continue by saying that my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, to all you have said on fusing yourself in my Will, another application must be added – that of fusing yourself in the order of grace, in all that the Sanctifier – the Holy Spirit – has done and will do to those who are to be sanctified. Furthermore, while We - the Three Divine Persons - remain always united in working, if Creation is related to the Father, and Redemption to the Son – the “Fiat Voluntas Tua” was attributed to the Holy Spirit. And it is exactly in the “Fiat Voluntas Tua” that the Divine Spirit will display His Work. You do it when, in coming before the Supreme Majesty, you say: ‘I come to give love in return for everything which the Sanctifier does to those who are to be sanctified. I come to enter into the order of grace, to give You glory and return of love, as if all had become Saints, and to repair You for all the oppositions and lack of correspondence to grace…”; and as much as you can, in Our Will you search for the acts of grace of the Spirit Sanctifier, in order to make your own - His sorrow, His secret moans, His anguishing sighs in the depth of the hearts, on seeing Himself unwelcome. And since the first act He does is to bring our Will as the complete act of their sanctification, on seeing Himself rejected, He moans with inexpressible moans. And in your childlike simplicity, you say to Him: ‘Spirit Sanctifier, hurry, I implore You, I beg You, let everyone know your Will, so that, in knowing It, they may love It and welcome your prime act of their complete sanctification – which is your Holy Will!’ My daughter, We - the Three Divine Persons - are inseparable and distinct, and in this way do We want to manifest to the human generations Our Works for them: while remaining united within Ourselves, each One of Us wants to manifest individually His Love and His Work for the creatures.”

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

Jesus continued for a few more days to manifest Himself in the same way – not wanting to detach Himself from me. It seemed that that little bit of sufferings He had poured into me attracted Him so much, that He could not be without me. This morning He poured a little bit more of bitterness from His Mouth into mine, and then He told me: “The Cross disposes the soul to patience. The cross opens Heaven, and unites Heaven and earth together – that is, God and the soul. The virtue of the Cross is powerful, and when it enters into a soul, it has the virtue of removing the rust of all earthly things. Not only this, but it causes her boredom, bother and contempt for the things of the earth, giving her, instead, the flavor and the enjoyment of Celestial things. However, few are those who recognize the virtue of the Cross; therefore they despise it.”

Who can say how many things I understood about the Cross while Jesus was speaking? The speaking of Jesus is not like ours, in which one understands only as much as is said. Rather, one single word leaves an immense Light, and to ruminate well on it one could remain occupied the whole day in most profound meditation. Therefore, if I wanted to tell everything I would be too long, and I would also lack the time to do it. 

After a little while, Jesus came back again, but a little more afflicted. I immediately asked the reason for it, and Jesus showed me many devout souls, and told me: “My daughter, what I look at in the soul is when she strips herself of her will. Only then does My Will invest her, Divinize her, and make her all Mine. Take a look at these souls who call themselves devout… as long as things go their way. But then, one little thing – if their confessions are not long enough, if the confessor does not satisfy them – is enough for them to lose peace; and some reach the point of no longer wanting to do anything. This says that it is not My Will that predominates in them, but their own. Believe, O My daughter, that they have taken the wrong way, because when I see that they really want to love Me, I have many ways to give My Grace.” How pitiful it was to see Jesus suffer for this kind of people! I tried to compassionate Him as much as I could, and so it ended. 

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 15, 1938 Volume 36

… After this, I was thinking to myself:  how miserable I am; I feel like I haven’t done anything for Jesus, for all the Graces He gave me; who knows how much I should Love Him.  Instead, I am so cold.  It’s true that I can’t love anyone other than Jesus, but I should be all on fire, and I’m not.  

As I was thinking that, He came back and, reproaching me sweetly, said: “My daughter, what are you doing?  Do you want to waste time?  Don’t you know that all you should care about is knowing whether or not a state is in My Will, and doing it?  In My Will everything is Love: breathing, heartbeat, motion—even the human will wants nothing other than to Love Me.  My Will, Jealous of the creature, surrounds her with an air of Love, so that I Breathe only that Love.  Your Jesus never looks at what the creature feels, because many times feelings can deceive her.  I look at her will and what she really wants.  That’s all I take.  How many things there are that she feels but does not do; but, if she wills, all is done. 

“Further, in My Will nothing gets lost.  For whoever Lives in It everything is counted: breaths, heartbeats, the little ‘I love you’; all things done in It remain written with indelible characters of Light and form the very Life of My Will.  Often the Gifts I have given to the creature as well as her acts, remain hidden as her property in the depth of her will.  She feels as if she has not done anything.  But that is not true.  At the right time these acts will show their Light inside that soul—brighter than the sun—and Sanctity is there in Its place of honor; Virtues are all there ready to act heroically in case of need.  My Will knows how to maintain Harmony and Its Divine Order.  Wherever It Reigns and whatever It does acquires the Seal of Eternity.  Therefore Live in It and do not worry about anything.  My Will will take care of you better than you would yourself.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 14, 1933 Volume 32

[Jesus speaking]

“You must know that True Sanctity is formed by the degrees of Love with which you have been Loved by God, and this Love the creature then takes possession of when she loves.  When she receives His Divine Love and she loves, God disposes Himself to Love her with even more New Love.  To be Loved by God with New Love is the Greatest Act that God does toward the creature.  And all the Sanctity, the Glory, is formed however many times she has been Loved by God, and however many times she has Loved Him.  Therefore you must know that Our Supreme Being Loves everyone, and always in a Universal and general Way.  To this is added a Special and Direct Love toward the one who, loving Us, gives Us her love.  So, if the creature has been Loved by God with Special Love one time, three, ten, a hundred, according to the number, she acquires so many degrees of Sanctity, and therefore of Glory.  

“See, therefore, going around in My Will, uniting yourself to Its Acts, calls Us to Love you with Special and New Love, and God calls you in order to make Himself Loved with your New and Special Love, and God Himself will be your witness who will say to all, to Heaven and to earth:   ‘It is true, I have Loved, but she has Loved Me.’ I can say that My Love called hers, and hers called Mine, to Love each other.  Therefore one who Lives in Our Will places Our Love in safety, nor do We have the Sorrow that there can be rejection.  Rather as a sign that she has received It, she responds to Us by giving Us her Love.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 13, 1924 Volume 16

I was doing my usual prayers, and while I was abandoning all of myself in the arms of the Supreme Will, in It I intended to do my adorations to the Divine Majesty. And my Jesus, moving in my interior, took my poor soul in His arms, and raising it between Heaven and earth, adored with me the Supreme Being; and then He said to me: “My daughter, true and perfect adoration is in the complete accord of the union of the Will of God with the soul. The more the soul makes her will and That of her Creator one, the more complete and perfect is her adoration. And if the human will is not one with the Divine - even more, if it is far away from God – it cannot be called adoration but shadow, or colorless shade, which leaves not even a trace. And if the human will is not disposed to receive the Kiss of the Union of the Supreme Will, instead of adoration, it can be insult and contempt. The first act of adoration is to recognize the Will of her Creator in order to do it; if this is not there, she adores with words, but in fact she insults and offends. And if you want to know the true and perfect model of adoration, come with Me in the midst of the Three Divine Persons.”

I don’t know how, but Jesus held me more tightly and raised me higher, into the midst of an unending Light. I felt annihilated, but my annihilation was replaced by a Divine Life, which unleashed from Itself many different Colors of Beauty, of Sanctity, of Light, of Goodness, of Peace, of Love, etc.; in such a way that my nothingness was transformed by those Divine Colors, to the extent of no longer being recognized and of enamoring the very One who had so much embellished me. And my sweet Jesus continued: “Do you see, My daughter? The Prime Act of the Divine Persons is the Perfect Accord of Our Will. Our Will is so unified that one cannot distinguish the Will of One from That of the Other; so much so, that even though Our Persons are distinct – We are Three – Our Will is One, and this One Will produces a Continuous Act of Perfect Adoration among the Divine Persons – One adores the Others. This Accord of Will produces Equality of Sanctity, of Light, of Goodness, of Beauty, of Power, of Love, and establishes in Us the True Reign of Order and of Peace, giving Us Immense Joys and Happinesses, and Infinite Beatitudes. Therefore, the accord of the human will with the Divine is the first link of connection between Creator and creature; and from it, the Divine Virtues descend into her, as within a channel, producing in her true adoration and perfect love for her Creator. And rising from within that same channel of connection, she receives the different shades of the Divine Qualities. And every time the soul rises in order to dive into this Eternal Will, she is embellished by and acquires as many more varieties of Divine Beauty.

“This is why I say that the soul who does My Will is My Amusement and My Contentment. And in order to amuse Myself, I keep the brush of My Will in My Hands, and as she dives into My Will, I touch her up and I amuse Myself by impressing on her, with My Touch, one more shade of My Beauty, of My Love, of My Sanctity, and of all My Qualities. So, for Me, being in her is like being in Heaven; I find the same Adoration of the Divine Persons, My Will, My Love. And since there is always something to give to the creature, I act now as a skillful painter, portraying My Image in her; now as a Master, teaching her the most high and sublime Doctrines; now as a passionate Lover, giving and wanting Love. In sum, I use and perform all My Arts to amuse Myself with her. And when My Love, offended by the creatures, cannot find a place in which to take refuge, a place in which to escape from those who follow Me to give Me death or force Me to turn back to the vault of the Heavens – I take refuge in the soul who contains My Will within herself, and there I find My Power to defend Me, My Love loving Me, My Peace to give Me rest. I find everything I want. Therefore, My Will connects everything together – Heaven and earth, and all goods – and It makes them one; and from this alone all possible imaginable goods are unleashed. So, I can say that the soul who does My Will is everything for Me, and that I am everything for her.” …

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

Since my always lovable Jesus had not come, and I was very afflicted, a thought flew into my mind while I was praying: “Have you ever thought that you might be lost?” I never really think about this, so I remained a little surprised. But good Jesus, who watches me in everything, immediately moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, this is true strangeness, which saddens My Love very much. If a daughter said to her father: ‘I am not your daughter, so you will not give me a share of your inheritance. You don’t want to give me food; you don’t want to keep me in your house,’ and she torments herself and laments - what would the poor father say? ‘Strangeness! This daughter is mad!’ And with all his love, he would say to her: ‘But, tell me, if you are not my daughter, whose daughter are you? How is this? You live under my same roof; you eat at my same table; I clothe you with my money, earned with my own sweat. If you are ill, I assist you and I procure the means to heal you. Why then, do you doubt that you are my daughter?’ 

“With more reason, I would say to one who doubts about my Love, and fears that she might be lost: ‘How is this? I give You My Flesh for Food; you live completely from My own. If you are ill, I heal you with the Sacraments. If you are stained, I wash you with My Blood. I can say that I am almost at your disposal - and you doubt? Do you want to sadden Me? Tell Me, then: do you love someone else? Do you recognize someone else as your father, since you say that you are not My daughter? And if this is not the case, why do you want to afflict yourself and sadden Me? Aren’t the bitternesses that others give Me enough - you too want to add pains in My Heart?”

As I was in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus for just a little, who said to me: “Peace puts all passions in their place, but what triumphs over everything, establishes all the good in the soul and sanctifies everything, is to do everything for God - that is, to operate with the upright intention of pleasing God alone. An upright operating is what directs, dominates and rectifies the virtues themselves, and even obedience. In sum, it is like a conductor who directs the spiritual music of the soul.” Having said this, He disappeared like a flash.

I write only out of obedience, and I am going to make a mix of past and present things. Many times in my writings I say: “I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition,” and I don’t explain further. Now, forced by obedience, I will say what happens to me in this fusion in the Divine Volition.

As I fuse myself in It, an immense void, all of light, comes before my mind, in which one can find neither the extent of its height, nor of its depth, nor the boundaries on the right or on the left, nor those on the front or on the back. In the midst of this immensity, in a highest point, I seem to see the Divinity, or the Three Divine Persons waiting for me – but this, always mentally. And, I don’t know how, a little child comes out from me; although it is still I - maybe it’s my little soul. It is moving to see this little child putting herself on the path within this immense empty space - all alone, shy, walking on tiptoe, with her eyes always fixed to the place where she sees the Three Divine Persons, because she fears that if she lowers her gaze in that immense void, she wouldn’t know at what point she would end up. All her strength is in that gaze fixed on high. In fact, in receiving in return the gaze of the Supreme Height, she draws strength along the way. Now, as the little one arrives before Them, she plunges herself with her face into that empty space, to adore the Divine Majesty. But a hand from the Divine Persons raises the little child; and They say to her: “Our daughter, the Little Daughter of Our Will – come into Our arms.” In hearing this, she becomes festive, and makes the Three Divine Persons festive; and delighting in her, They await the performance of the office, which They entrusted to her. And with grace typical of a child, she says: “I come to adore You, to bless You, to thank You for all. I come to bind to your throne all human wills of all generations, from the first to the last man, so that all may recognize Your Supreme Will. May all adore It, love It, and give It Life within their souls.”

Then she added: “O Supreme Majesty, in this immense void there are all these creatures, and I want to take them all and place them in Your Holy Will, so that all may return to the origin from which they came – Your Will. This is why I came into Your Paternal Arms – to bring You all Your children and brothers of mine, and bind them all with Your Will. And in the name of all and for everyone, I want to repair You and give You homage and glory, as if everyone had done your Most Holy Will. But, please, I beg You, let there be no more separation between Divine and human will! It is a little child who is asking you this, and I know that You can deny nothing to the little ones.”

But who can say all that I did and said? I would be too long. Besides, I lack the words to express what I say before the Supreme Majesty. It seems to me that here in the low world we don’t use the same language as in that immense empty space. …

After I had gone through days not only of privation, but also of disturbance, this morning, as I was yet more disturbed about my miserable state, adorable Jesus, on coming, told me:  “By being restless, you have disturbed my sweet rest.  Ah, yes, you do not let Me rest any more!”  Who can say how mortified I was left in hearing that I had deprived Jesus Christ of rest?  In spite of this, I calmed down for a few hours, but then I found myself more restless than before, to the point that I myself do not where I will end up this time.

After those few words spoken by Jesus, I found myself outside of myself, and in looking into the vault of the heavens, I saw three Suns:  one seemed to set in the east, another in the west, and the third in the south.  The splendor of the rays that they sent forth was so great that they united with one another, in such a way as to become one.  I seemed to see the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, and man, formed with the three powers in Its image.  I also understood that for one who stayed in that light, his will would be transformed in the Father, his intellect in the Son, his memory in the Holy Spirit.  How many things I understood!  But I am unable to manifest them.

Continuing in my usual state, my lovable Jesus made Himself seen for just a little, and told me: “My daughter, one who talks much shows that he is empty in his interior, while one who is filled with God, finding more taste in his interior, does not want to lose that taste; he hardly speaks and only out of necessity. And even while speaking, he never departs from his interior, and he tries, as much as he can, to impress in others that which he feels within himself. On the other hand, one who talks much is not only empty of God, but with his much talking, he tries to empty others of God.”

While I was doing my meditation during the day, Jesus kept making Himself seen near me, and told me: “My Person is surrounded by all the works that souls do, as by a garment; and the more purity of intention and intensity of love they have, the more splendor they give Me, and I will give them more glory; so much so, that on the Day of Judgment I will show them to the whole world, to let the whole world know how my children have honored Me, and how I honor them.”

Assuming a more afflicted air, He added: “My daughter, what will happen to so many works, even good, done without purity of intention, out of habit and self-interest? What shame will not fall upon them on the Day of Judgment, in seeing so many works, good in themselves, but made rotten by their intention, such that, their very actions, instead of rendering honor to them, as they would to many others, will give them shame? In fact, I do not look at the greatness of the works, but at the intention with which they are done. Here is all my attention.”

Jesus kept silent for a little while, and I kept thinking about the words He had spoken to me while I was meditating within my mind, especially on the purity of intention, and on the fact that, when creatures do good, they must disappear, making the creature one with the Lord Himself, as if creatures did not exist.

Then Jesus continued, saying to me: “Yet, it is so. See, My Heart is so very large, but the door is very narrow. No one can fill the void of this Heart but souls who are detached, naked and simple. In fact, as you see, since the door is small, any hindrance, even the slightest – that is, a shadow of attachment, an intention which is not upright, a work done without the purpose of pleasing Me – prevents them from entering to delight in My Heart. Much love of neighbor enters My Heart, but it must be so united to Mine as to form one single love, in such a way that one cannot be distinguished from the other. But as for the other love of neighbor which is not transformed into My Love – I do not look at it as something that belongs to Me.”

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, and I prayed the Celestial Mama to be with me and to give me Her hand, so that, guided by Her, I might requite my God with all the love, the adoration and the glory that everyone owes Him.  Now, while I was saying this, my beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter, you must know that the first before the Supreme Majesty are those who have lived in My Volition and who have never gone out of My Will.  My Mama came to the world after four thousand years; yet, in the eyes if God She came before Adam.  Her Acts, Her Love, are in the first order of creatures, therefore Her Acts come before all the acts of creatures, because She was the closest to God, bound to Him with the tightest bonds of Sanctity, of Union, and of Likeness.  By living in Our Will, Her Acts became inseparable from Ours, and, being inseparable, these Acts are the closest, as something natural to Her Creator.  ‘Before’ and ‘after’ do not exist in Our Will, but everything is First Act.  Therefore, one who lives in Our Will, even if she came as last, comes always before everything.  So, it is not the era in which souls come out to the light of time that will be considered, but whether the Life of My Will has been in them as Center of Life, Reigning and Dominating in all of their acts, just as It Reigns and Dominates in the womb of the Divinity.  These will be the first; their acts done in Our Will will rise above all the acts of the other creatures, and all will remain behind; therefore these souls will be Our crown. …”
