… And my lovable Jesus, placing His holy hands under my shoulders to as though take me in His arms, told me: “My daughter, how heavy you have become—don’t you know that oppression weighs the soul down, and if I want to take you in My Arms I have to make an effort to lift you? On the other hand, My Will empties the weight of nature, and Its Light, removing the gloom of what is human, renders her light—light and capable of any sacrifice; and giving her the wings of love, It gives to the soul the first qualities of the Celestial Fatherland, that knows neither oppression nor darkness, but daylight without sunset and joy that never ends. …”

This morning I was praying for a priest who was infirm, who had been my director, and I was thinking to myself: “Had he continued my direction, would he be infirm or not?” And blessed Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, who enjoys the goods that are present inside a house? Certainly those who are in it; and even though someone has been there before, only those who are currently in it can enjoy them. For example, as long as a servant remains with his master, the master pays him and allows him to enjoy the goods which are in his house; and when he goes away, he calls another one, pays him and lets him share in his goods. So I do; when something is wanted by Me and is left by someone, I transmit it to someone else, giving him everything which was destined for the other. So, had he continued your direction, given your state of victim, he would have enjoyed the goods pertaining to the state of the one who currently guides you, therefore he would not have been infirm. And if the current guide, in spite of his health, does not obtain everything else he wants, it is because he does not do fully what I want, and even though he enjoys some goods, yet, certain charisms of mine he does not deserve.”

This morning, as I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I feel your breath and I feel refreshed by it. By just being close to you, your breath gives Me refreshment; even when others talk about the things that you said for their own good, I feel your breath through them and I am pleased. So, My Relief is repeated, and I say: ‘Even through others, My daughter sends Me her refreshment, because if she hadn’t been attentive in listening to Me, she could not have done any good for others. Therefore, she is still the one who sends Me this good.’ So, I love you even more and I feel compelled to come and converse with you.”
Then He added: “True love must stand alone. When it leans on something else - even a holy thing or a spiritual person - it gives Me nausea and, instead of content, I feel embittered and bothered. Only when love is alone can I take control and do with the soul whatever I want. This is the nature of true love. But when it does not stand alone, one thing can be done, something else cannot. It is a hindered command, which does not give full freedom; therefore, love feels uncomfortable and constrained.”

While I was in the nightmare of the privation of my lovable Jesus, and most resigned, I wasn’t even thinking that He might unveil Himself to my little soul, making His short little visit, to give Me His sip of life, so as not to let me succumb completely. All of a sudden, He moved in my interior, making Himself seen all intent and occupied on His work; and as He raised His eyes, sparkling with light, toward me, His eyes met with mine, and compassionating my affliction, He told me: “My daughter, I am working in your soul continuously, and while working, I am finalizing, so that nothing may be missing; solidifying, to give to My Work the Divine Stability and Immutability; and waiting with invincible Patience for My Work to become known, so that all may know My great Love, My great Sacrifice and yours, and the great Good that, if they want to, all can receive.
“What this is about is that this work of Mine is the renewal of the whole Creation, it is the centralization of all Our Works, it is to establish My Divine Will in the midst of creatures, operating and dominating in their midst. Whoever will know this, My Work, will be a Kingdom of Mine. Therefore, I will have as many Kingdoms for as many as are the ones who will know what I have done and said in the littleness of your soul; and, fused together, they will form one single Kingdom. So, My Silence is centralization of more intense Work that I am doing in you. Therefore, if I speak to you, it is New Work that I undertake, calling you together with the Work, giving you knowledge of what we are doing, so as to place new tints of Beauties, of Magnificence and of Happiness in the Kingdom of My Divine Will that creatures must possess; if I keep silent, I reorder, I harmonize, I confirm what I have done. Therefore, My silence must not be cause of affliction for you, but occasion for more work, in order to carry out the Kingdom of My Divine Will.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 17, 1907 Volume 8
Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, the true sign to know whether the soul lives in My Will, is that everything that happens to her, every circumstance, takes place in peace, because My Will is so Perfect and Holy that It cannot produce even the shadow of disturbance. So, if in contrasts, mortifications or bitternesses she feels disturbed, she cannot say that she is inside My Will. If she feels resigned and also disturbed, she can say, at most, that she is in the shadow of My Will; in fact, while being outside of It, she is free to feel her own self – but not inside.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 16, 1918 Volume 12
This morning my sweet Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, do not remain in yourself - in your will - but enter into Me and into My Will. I am Immense, and only one who is immense can multiply acts as many times as he wants; one who is up high can give light to the bottom. Don’t you see the sun? Because it is up there, it is light for every eye; even more, each man can have the sun at his disposal, as if it were fully his own. On the other hand, the plants, the trees, the rivers, the seas, which are down below, are not at everyone’s disposal. One cannot say of these things as he could of the Sun: ‘If I want, I make it all mine, even though others can still enjoy it.’ On the other hand, all the low things receive benefit from the sun: some receive light, some heat, some fecundity, some color.
“Now, I Am the Eternal Light, I Am in the highest point, and as much higher as I Am, so much more do I find Myself everywhere and deeper down. Therefore, I Am Life of all, and as if I were only for each one. So, if you want to do good to all, enter into My Immensity, live up high, detached from everything, and also from yourself. Otherwise, there will be earth around you, and you could be a plant, a tree - but never a sun; instead of giving, you will have to receive, and the good you will do will be so limited as to be numerable.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 15, 1934 Volume 33
After this, I thought to myself: “But what good comes to me, what glory do I give to my God, by always asking that His Will be known and take Its Royal Place that belongs to It in creatures? It seems that I do not know how to ask for anything else. It seems to me that Jesus Himself is tired of hearing me tell the same story: “I want Your Fiat as Life for me and for everyone.”
But while I thought this, my sweet Jesus added: “My blessed daughter, you must know that when the creature incessantly prays to obtain a good, she acquires the capacity of possessing that good, and possessing it she has the virtue of letting it be possessed by others. Prayer is like the disbursement of the coin in order to purchase the good that one wants. Prayer forms the esteem, the appreciation, the love that is needed in order to possess it. Prayer forms the void in the soul for where to be able to enclose the desired good, otherwise if I want to give it, then she will not have where to place it. And also, you cannot give Me greater Glory, than to ask Me that My Will be known and Reign. This is My own Prayer, it is the yearning and the heartbeat of My Heart, they are My ardent Anxieties. …”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 14, 1921 Volume 13
My will was swimming in the Eternal Volition, and an incomprehensible light made me comprehend and told me: “My daughter, it happens to one who lives in My Will as to the earth exposed to the Sun. The Sun, king of all Creation, dwells above all, and the whole of nature seems to be begging the Sun for that which forms its life, its beauty, its fecundity. The flower begs the Sun for its beauty, its color, its fragrance; and as it blooms and opens out, it opens its mouth to receive from the Sun the heat and the light in order to acquire color, fragrance, and to form its life. The plants beg the Sun for maturity, sweetness and flavor. All things beg their life from the Sun.
“My Will is more than Sun. As the soul enters into Its burning Rays, she receives Life; and as she keeps repeating her acts in My Volition, she receives now My Beauty, now My Sweetness and Fecundity, now My Goodness and Sanctity. So, each time she enters the Rays of My Will, she receives many more Divine Qualities. Oh, how many different beauties, how much liveliness of colors, how many fragrances she acquires! If these souls could be seen by the other creatures, they would form their paradise on earth – so great is their beauty. They are My reflectors - My true images.”

… After this, He [Jesus] added: “My daughter, one who lives in My Will becomes the peacemaker between God and the creatures. All of her acts, words, steps, her prayers, her little sacrifices, are like many bonds of peace between Heaven and earth; they are like peacemaking weapons, as she fights her Creator with weapons of peace and of love in order to disarm Him and render Him favorable, and change the scourges into Mercy. And just as the human will formed the war, to wage war against He who had created it—not only this, but it broke the accord, the order and the peace—so My Will, with the strength of Its Omnipotence, reigning in the creature, converts what the creature does into bonds of accord, of order, of peace and of love. So, from her comes out as though a little white cloud that, surging, spreads and rises up to the Divine Throne; and bursting into as many voices for as many acts as she has done, it says: ‘Great God, peace I bring to You from the earth; and You—give me Your Peace, to bring it as Bond of Peace between You and the human generation.’ This little cloud ascends and descends, descends and ascends, and does the office of peacemaker between Heaven and earth.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 12, 1918 Volume 12
I was praying for a dying soul with a certain fear and anxiety, when my lovable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, why do you fear? Don’t you know that for each word on My Passion, for each thought, compassion, reparation, memory of My Pains - as many ways of electric communication open between Me and the soul, and therefore the soul keeps adorning herself with as many different beauties? She has done the Hours of My Passion, and I will receive her as daughter of My Passion, clothed with My Blood and adorned with My Wounds. This flower has grown inside your heart, so I bless it and I receive it in My Heart, as a favorite flower.” And while He was saying this, a flower came out of my heart, and took flight toward Jesus.

“… You must know that this Fulfillment of My Will is so great as to be numbered among the greatest Works which the Divinity has Operated. And I want It to be known, so that in knowing Its Greatness and the Immense Goods It contains, they may love It, esteem It and desire It. Three times did the Supreme Divinity decide to operate ‘ad extra’. The first was in Creation, and it was without the intervention of the creature, since none of them had yet come out to the light of the day. The second was in Redemption, and with it intervened a woman, the holiest, the most beautiful – My Celestial Mama. She was the channel and the instrument I used in order to fulfill the Work of Redemption. The third is the Fulfillment of My Will to be done on earth as It is in Heaven – that is, for the creature to live and operate with the Sanctity and the Power of Our Will; a work inseparable from Creation and Redemption, just as the Sacrosanct Trinity is inseparable. Nor can We say that the Work of Creation has been completed by Us, if Our Will, as We decreed, does not act in the creature and live with that Freedom, Sanctity and Power with which It operates and lives in Us. Even more, this is the most beautiful point, the highest, the brightest, and the seal of the Fulfillment of the Work of Creation and Redemption.
“These are divine decrees, and they must have full completion. …”

As I was in my usual state, Our Lord came for a short time and told me: “My daughter, one who gives herself completely to Me, deserves that I give Myself completely to her. Here I am, at your complete disposal; whatever you want – take.” I did not ask Him for anything; I only said to Him: “My Good, I do not want anything – I want only You, and You alone. You alone are enough for me in everything, because if I have You, I have everything.” And He: “Brava, you asked well, and while wanting nothing, you have wanted everything.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 9, 1915 Volume 11
…Then He [Jesus] added: “Daughter, one who really does My Will is put in the same condition as My Humanity. I was Man and God. As God, I contained within Me all the Happiness, Beatitudes, Beauty, and all the Goods that I possess. On one hand My Humanity participated in the Joy of My Divinity, therefore My Soul was Blissful, Happy, and Its Beatific Vision never escaped It. On the other hand, My Humanity had loaded upon Itself the satisfaction on the part of creatures before Divine Justice. It was tormented by the clear sight of all the sins; and having to take them upon Itself in order to repair for them, It felt the horror of each sin with its own special torment. Therefore, I felt Joy and Pain at the same time: Love on the part of My Divinity; cold on the part of creatures; Sanctity on one side, and sin on the other. Nothing the creature did could escape Me, no matter how tiny.
“Now, My Humanity is no longer capable of suffering. Therefore, I live in one who does My Will - she serves as My Humanity. So, on one hand the soul feels love, peace, firmness in good, fortitude and so on; on the other hand, coldness, bother, tiredness, etc. If the soul remains completely in My Will and takes these things, not as her own things, but as the things that I suffer, she will not lose heart. She will sympathize with Me and will have the honor of sharing in My Pains, since she is nothing other than a veil which covers Me. She will feel nothing but the annoyance of pricks and coldness, while they will come thickly into Me - into My Heart.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 8, 1929 Volume 26
… Then my sweet Jesus continued, saying: “My daughter, the Sea of Our Divinity always murmurs, without ever ceasing. But do you know what it says in its murmuring? ‘Love! Love toward the creature!’ And the Ardor of Our Love is so great, that in Our Continuous Murmuring We overflow with Love, and We form such gigantic waves as to be able to drown Heaven and earth, and all creatures, all with Love. And seeing that they do not let themselves be filled completely with Our Love, with the desire to see creatures overflow with Our Love, the Delirious Love forms within Us; and in Our Delirium, putting the human ingratitude aside, and murmuring, We repeat more loudly: ‘Love! Always love to the one who denies and does not take Our Love to let herself be loved and give Us love.’
“Now, Our Love, rejected, takes the attitude of Dolorous Love! But do you know who comes to give refreshment and calm to Our Deliriums of Love? Who soothes Our Dolorous Love and makes It smile? The soul who lives in Our Divine Will. Our Will forms Its Sea within the creature; Our Sea and hers plunge together, and one flows within the other, and—oh! how sweet is the murmuring of the creature within Our Murmuring, repeating continuously: ‘Love! Love! Always love to my Creator, to my Eternal Life, to He who loves me so much!’ …”

I was fusing myself in my sweet Jesus, but I saw myself as so miserable that I didn’t know what to tell Him. And my always lovable Jesus, to console me, told me: “My daughter, neither past nor future exist for one who does my Will, but everything is in a present act. Everything I did and suffered is in a Present Act, in such a way that, if I want to give satisfaction to the Father, or do good to the creatures, I can do it, as if I were in the very act of suffering and operating. In the same way, all that the creature can suffer and do in My Will is already identified with My Pains and Works, and they become one. So, when the soul wants to give Me a proof of love with her pains, she can take the pains suffered at other times, which are in act, and give them to Me, in order to replicate her love, her satisfactions for Me. And in seeing the industriousness of the creature who places her acts as if on a counter in order to multiply them and collect the interest, to give Me love and satisfactions, I give her My Pains and My Works Multiplied, so as to enrich her and not to be outdone in love, to love her and to be loved.”

… And my highest Good, Jesus, with all goodness, told me: “My daughter, one who does My Will and lives in It forms in her soul the Book of the Divine Fiat. But this Book must be full, not empty or with only a few pages written; if it is not full, she will soon finish reading it, and having nothing to read, she will occupy herself with something else, and therefore the Life of My Divine Will will be interrupted and as though broken in the creature. On the other hand, if it is full, she will have always something to read; and if it seems that it ends, I will add other pages more sublime, so that she may never lack the Life, the Knowledge ever New, and the substantial Nourishment of My Divine Volition.
“So, the interior must be like many pages in order to form this Book: page the intelligence, page the will and the memory, page the desire, the affection, the heartbeat, page the word, that must be able to repeat what it read, otherwise it will remain like a book that will do good to no one, while for one who forms a book the first purpose is to propagate it. So, the whole interior must be written with pages of My Divine Will, and this Book must be so full, that she must be unable to find anything else to read but My Will alone. Now, when the soul has her interior book full, she will know very well the external Book of the Divine Will. All of Creation is nothing other than a book of It; each created thing is a page that forms an immense book, and of many volumes. So, having formed her interior book and read it thoroughly, she will be able to read very well the external Book of all Creation, and in all things she will find My Divine Will in act of giving her Its Life, Its Lessons, most High and Sublime, and Its Delicious and Holy Food. …”

[Jesus speaking]
“… And when, wanting to scrutinize Me also, Pilate asked Me: 'Are You king? And where is your kingdom?’ I wanted to give another sublime lesson by saying: ‘I am King.’ And I wanted to say: 'But do you know what My Kingdom is? My Kingdom is My Pains, My Blood, My Virtues. This is the True Kingdom which I possess, not outside of Me, but within Me. What one possesses on the outside is not a true kingdom, nor a safe dominion, because that which is not inside of man can be taken away, usurped, and he will be forced to leave it. But that which he has inside, no one will be able to take away from him - its dominion will be Eternal within him. The characteristics of My Kingdom are My Wounds, the Thorns, the Cross. I do not act like the other kings who make their peoples live outside of them, unsafe, and eventually, even starving. Not Me - I call My peoples to dwell inside the rooms of My Wounds, fortified and sheltered by My Pains, their thirst quenched by My Blood, their hunger satisfied by My Flesh. This alone is true reigning; all other reigns are reigns of slavery, of dangers and of death, while in My Reign there is True Life.
“How many Sublime Teachings, how many profound Mysteries in My Words. Each soul should say to herself, in pains and in sufferings, in humiliations and in abandonments by all, and in practicing true virtues: ‘This is my kingdom, which is not subject to perishing. No one can take it away from me or touch it. On the contrary, my kingdom is eternal and divine, similar to that of my sweet Jesus. My sufferings and pains certify it for me and render my kingdom more fortified and fierce, in such a way that, in the face of my great strength, no one will be able to wage battle against me.’ This is the Kingdom of Peace, to which all My children should aspire.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 4, 1907 Volume 8
I was thinking: “How bad I have become – yet, the Lord does not correct me; He does not scold me.” While I was thinking of this, I felt Him move in my interior, telling me: “My daughter, keep walking, keep walking… If I am Goodness, Mercy, Sweetness, I am also Justice, Strength, Power. If I saw you go backward or commit voluntary defects after the so many graces I have given you, you would deserve to be struck by lightning, and indeed I would strike you. If I do not do it, you yourself can understand why; and if I do not always speak to you - ruminate constantly in your mind on all the Truths I have taught you, then enter into your interior, unite yourself with Me, and I will always be with you, operating interiorly.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 3, 1902 Volume 4
Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, inside a Church, and since I could not find my adorable Jesus I went to knock at a Tabernacle to have Him open it for me. Since He would not open, made brave, I myself opened it and I found my sole and only Good. Who can say my contentment? I remained as though ecstatic in looking at an Unspeakable Beauty. On seeing me, Jesus flung Himself into my arms and told me: “My daughter, each period of My Life receives from man distinct and special acts and degrees of imitation, of love, of reparation and other things. But the period of My Eucharistic Life is all life of hiddenness, of transformation and of continuous consummation; so much so, that I can say that after My Love reached the excess and was even consumed, in My Infinite Wisdom I could not find any other external sign to prove My Love for man. And just as My Incarnation, Life and Passion on the Cross receive love, praise, thanksgiving, imitation - My Sacramental Life receives from man an ecstatic love, a love of dissolving oneself in Me, a love of perfect consummation; and as the soul is consumed in My very Sacramental Life, she can say that she performs, before the Divinity, the same offices that I perform continuously before God for Love of men. And this consummation will make the soul overflow into Eternal Life.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 2, 1926 Volume 19
… And my sweet Jesus, to cheer me, resumed His speaking about His Most Holy Will: “My daughter, come with Me in the midst of Creation. Heaven and earth await you – they want the one who, animated by that same Will that animates them and gives them life, would make the whole Creation resound with that most sweet echo of the eternal love of their Maker. They want your voice which, flowing in each created thing, would animate their mute language with that perennial glory and adoration to their Creator. And since all things are bound to one another, and one is the strength of the other because one is the Supreme Will that vivifies them and preserves them, one who possesses It is bound to them with the same strength and with the same union. So, if you are not present in the midst of Creation, because of your absence they would feel the universal strength and the bond of inseparability lacking to them. Therefore, come into Our dominions, for everyone longs for you, and at the same time I will make you comprehend more things about the great distance that exists between the sanctity of one who possesses the unity of the light of the Kingdom of my Will and the sanctity of submission, of resignation and of virtues.”
Now, while He was saying this, I found myself outside of myself, and I tried to make my ‘I love You’, my adoration, resound over all created things. And Jesus, all goodness, added: “My daughter, look at the heavens, the stars, the sun, the moon, the plants, the flowers, the sea… look at everything. Each created thing has its distinct nature, its own color, its littleness and its height; each of them has its distinct office, and one cannot do what the other does, nor produce the same effects. So, each created thing is a symbol of the sanctity of virtues, of submission and resignation to My Will. According to the virtues they have practiced, souls have drawn a distinct color within themselves; therefore it can be said that one is red flower, another, purple, another, white; one is plant, one is tree, another is star; and according to how they have submitted to the reflections of the Supreme Will, so have they developed in fecundity, in height, in beauty. But one is their shade, because My Will, like solar ray, gave them the color of the seed which they themselves had placed in their souls. On the other hand, the sanctity of one who lives in the Unity of the Light of My Will is a birth from that Single Act of her Creator, which is one in the Creative Hands, and yet, the rays of His Will, coming out of God, invade everything and produce works and effects so innumerable that man cannot arrive at counting them all. So, since this Sanctity is a birth from that Single Act, it will be the Supreme Will’s care and jealousy for it to enclose all colors, all the different beauties and all possible imaginable goods within itself. And so, more than blazing sun, it will enclose and eclipse within itself all of Creation with its different beauties; one will see all the goods of Redemption enclosed in it, as well as all sanctities; and I, showing off My Love more than ever, will place the seal of My very Sanctity within one who has possessed the Kingdom of My Will.
“Do you know how it will be for your Creator with regard to this Sanctity of Living in My Will? It will happen as to a king who has no offspring. This king never enjoys the affection of a child of his own, nor does he feel like lavishing all his paternal caresses and his affectionate kisses, because in no one does he see his own progeny, his own features, someone to whom to entrust the destiny of his kingdom. Poor one, he lives always with a nail in his heart; he lives always surrounded by servants, by people who do not resemble him, and if they remain around him, it is not out of pure love, but out of self-interest, to gain riches and glory, and maybe even to betray him. Now, suppose that a son comes to the light for him after a long time – what is not the feast of this king? How he kisses him, caresses him - he cannot remove his gaze from his son, in whom he recognizes his own image. Just newly born, he gives him his kingdom and all of his goods as inheritance; and his complete joy and feast is that his kingdom will no longer belong to some strangers, to his servants, but to his dear son. So it can be said that what belongs to the father belongs to the son, and what belongs to the son belongs to the father.
Now, one who will possess the Kingdom of my Will will be for Us like a child born after about six thousand years. What joy, what feast will not be Ours in seeing Our image in him, intact, beautiful, just as We delivered it from Our paternal womb. All the caresses, the kisses, the gifts, will be for this child; more so since, having given in Creation the Kingdom of Our Will to man as his special inheritance, and since this Kingdom of Ours has been in the hands of strangers, of servants, of traitors for so long a time, in seeing this son who will possess It as a son and will give Us the glory of the Kingdom of Our Will, Our inheritance will be placed in safety on the part of this son. Is it not right that We give him everything, even Our very Selves, and that he enclose everything and everyone?”
While Jesus was saying this, I became concerned and I said to Him: “How can all this be possible, my love?” And Jesus added: “My daughter, do not be surprised. By possessing the Kingdom of the Supreme Will, the soul will possess a divine, infinite, eternal Will, which encloses all goods; and one who possesses everything can give Us everything. What will be Our contentment, Our happiness and his, in seeing the littleness of the creature in this Kingdom of Ours, taking from Us continuously as the owner - as Our true child! And since what he takes from Us is Divine, he takes the Divine, and the Divine he gives to Us; he takes the Infinite, and the Infinite he gives to Us; he takes Immense things from Us, and Immense things he gives to Us; he takes Light from Us, and Light he brings to Us. He will do nothing but take and give to Us. We will place all Our things at his disposal, so that, in the Kingdom of Our Will, given to him by Us, nothing extraneous to Us may enter any more, but only Our own things, and We may receive the Fruits, the Glory, the Love, the Honor of the Kingdom of Our Will. Therefore, be attentive, and let your flight in Our Volition be continuous.”
