Since the confessor had raised some doubts, as blessed Jesus came, I saw the confessor with Him, and He was saying to him: “My Operating is always leaning on the Truth, and even though many times it appears obscure, under enigmas, however, one cannot help saying that it is the Truth. And even though the creature does not understand My Operating with clarity, this does not destroy the Truth; on the contrary, it makes one comprehend much better that it is a Divine Way of operating. In fact, since the creature is finite, she cannot embrace and comprehend the Infinite; at the most, she can comprehend and embrace a few glimmers. As for example, the many things said by Me in Scripture, and My Way of operating in the Saints – has this perhaps been understood with all clarity? Oh, how many things are left obscured and amidst enigma! And yet, how many minds of the erudite and learned have tired themselves in interpreting them? And what have they yet understood? One can say absolutely nothing, compared to what is left to be known. But does this perhaps prejudice the Truth? Not at all – on the contrary, it makes it shine more. Therefore, your eye must be kept on whether there is true virtue, and whether, in everything, it can be felt that the Truth is present, though sometimes obscured; as for the rest, one must remain tranquil and in holy peace.” Having said this, He disappeared, and I returned inside myself.

… Then, afterwards, He [Jesus] added: “My daughter, all human actions—working, taking food, sleeping, the pains, the encounters, now of sorrow, now of joy—are nothing other than straw. Now, wheat cannot be formed without the straw; on the contrary, the straw defends the wheat from frost, from the burning rays of the sun, from the waters, from all the intemperances of the air. Like a garment, it covers the wheat and grows with it, and only when it has formed the wheat and given life to it—then does it detach from it; and the poor straw performs and receives this detachment by dint of threshing, after it has served the wheat and given life to it.
“Such are the human actions: from the littlest to the greatest, they are all straws, and if one lets the wheat of My Will flow within them, they serve in an admirable way to hide and preserve the wheat of My Divine Volition; and the more the straw, the more wheat can one hope to possess. It is an enchantment, My daughter, to see a human action enclosing within itself the most pure wheat and the refulgent gold of My Divine Will. Like straws, it seems that they have primacy over the wheat, and they can boast, saying: ‘It is true that we are straws, but we hide within ourselves a Divine Will that is more than wheat. We remain at Its service and give It the field, that It may be formed in our action.’ On the other hand, if My Will does not flow within them, the human actions remain as straws, worthy of being burned, because they have not formed within them the pure wheat that serves the Celestial Fatherland. …”

… I felt my heart being lacerated. And Jesus, wanting to cheer me, told me: “My daughter, come into My Will to do what I do. In My Will you will be able to run for the good of all creatures; and by the power of My Volition, you will be able to rescue them from within the blood in which they are swimming, so as to bring them back to Me, washed with their own blood, with the touch of My Will.”
And I: “My Life, I am so bad. How can I do this?” And He: “You must know that the most noble, the most sublime, the greatest and most heroic act is to do My Will, and to operate in My Volition. At this act, which no one else can equal, I display the pomp of all My Love and generosity. As soon as the soul decides to do It - in the act in which the two wills meet to be fused into each other and become one - to give her the honor of keeping her in My Volition, if she is stained, I purify her; if the thorns of human nature envelop her, I shatter them; and if some nail pierces her - that is, sin - I pulverize it, because nothing evil can enter My Will. Even more, all My Attributes invest her, turning her weakness into fortitude, ignorance into wisdom, misery into richness, and so with all the rest. Something from herself always remains in other acts, but in these she remains completely stripped of herself, and I fill her completely with Me.”

… Now, while I was under tremendous oppressions, my sweet Jesus, giving me a surprise, told me: “My daughter, courage, do not fear, I am here with you; and the sign is that you feel in you the Life of My Fiat. I am inseparable from It. Now, you must know that Our Will is in continuous attitude in Our Divine Being; Its Motion never ceases, Its works are always in act, therefore It is always operating. But the marvelous Surprises that occur when the creature enters into Our Will are enchanting and prodigious. As she enters, Our Volition encloses Itself in the creature; and while It encloses Itself to the point of filling her completely, since she cannot embrace It all or enclose It completely within herself, It overflows outside of her in such a way as to fill Heaven and earth, in a way that it can be seen that the littleness of the creature encloses a Divine Will, that maintains in her Its Incessant Motion and Its Works Operating.
“There is nothing holier, greater, more beautiful, more prodigious, than the Operating of My Volition in the littleness of the creature. While It Operates, since she can neither enclose It nor embrace It all, because she is finite and therefore does not have the capacity to enclose the Immense and the Infinite, yet she takes as much as she can to the point of overflowing outside. And as It overflows, one can see the creature under a rain of Light and of varied and rare Beauties, inside and out, such that Our Divine Being takes so much Delight in it, that We feel Ourselves being enraptured, because We see the human littleness, by virtue of Our Fiat that fills it, transmuted into the Beauties of Our Divine Qualities, that have such strength as to enrapture Us and make Us enjoy in the creature Our Pure Joys and Our Unspeakable Happinesses.
“Now, you must know that every time the creature calls My Will as Life Operating in her, and she plunges into It to remain immersed in It, Our Enjoyment is so great, that Our whole Being concurs, and We place in it such value, for as much value as Our Divine Being contains. More so, since Our Divine Fiat has Its first act of Life in the act of the creature—she has been but the concurrent; therefore, as Our Act, We place in it all the weight of Our Divine Life. See, then, what it means to do an act in Our Will, what it means to multiply them; and the great loss for one who does not operate in It.”

I was abandoning all of myself in the Holy Divine Will according to my usual way, and my sweet Jesus made Himself seen coming toward me in order to receive me in His Most Holy Will; and He told me: “My daughter, My Will is in continuous encounter with the will of the creature; and as the human will encounters Mine, it receives the Light, the Sanctity, the Strength, which My Will contains. My Will is in continuous act of giving Itself to the creature in order to give her the Life of Heaven in advance. If she receives Me, she remains with this Celestial Life; but if in every act she does, she does not receive this Supreme Volition, which is all intent, for her good, on making her happy, strong, holy, divine, and as though transformed into a dawn of Celestial Light, she remains with her human will alone, which renders her weak, miserable, muddy, and surrounds her with passions so vile as to move to pity. …”

I was feeling annoyed for being unable to make certain mortifications, as it seemed to me that the Lord abhorred me, and therefore He would not permit me to do them. And blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, one who really loves Me never gets annoyed about anything, but tries to convert all things into love. For what reason did you want to mortify yourself? Certainly for love of Me. And I say to you: ‘For love of Me mortify yourself, and for love of Me take the reliefs; and both one and the other will have the same weight before Me.’ The weight of any action, be it even an indifferent one, increases according to the dose of love it contains, because I do not look at the work, but at the intensity of love that the working contains. Therefore I want no annoyance in you, but always peace; because in annoyances, in disturbances, it is always the love of self that wants to come out to reign, or the enemy to do harm.”

… 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.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 19, 1912 Volume 11
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.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 13, 1931 Volume 29
… 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.
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 11, 1923 Volume 15
“… 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. …”
Divine Will for every day of the year - July 10, 1906 Volume 7
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!’ …”
