Divine Will for every day of the year - March 2, 1921 Volume 12
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, the Third FIAT — My ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua, on earth as it is in Heaven’ — will be like the rainbow which appeared in the sky after the deluge, which, as rainbow of peace, assured man that the deluge had ceased. So will the Third FIAT be. As It comes to be known, loving and disinterested souls will come to live in My FIAT. They will be like rainbows — rainbows of peace — which will reconcile Heaven and earth, and dispel the deluge of so many sins which inundate the earth. These rainbows of peace will have the Third FIAT as their own life; therefore My ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ will have Its completion in them. And just as the Second FIAT called Me upon earth to live among men, the Third FIAT will call My Will into souls, and It will Reign in them ‘on earth, as in Heaven’.”
Then, since I was sad because of His absence, He added: “My daughter, be cheered — come into My Will. I chose you among thousands and thousands, so that My Will may have full completion in you, and so that you may be like a rainbow of peace which, with its seven colors, attracts others to live in My Will. Therefore, let us leave the earth aside. Up until now I have kept you with Me in order to appease My Justice and prevent greater chastisements from being poured upon the earth. Now, let us allow the current of human evil to run; I want you with Me, in My Volition, to be occupied with preparing the Era of My Will.
“As you move forward on the path of My Volition, the rainbow of peace will form, which will form the link of connection between the Divine Will and human will. From it, My Will will have life on earth, and this will begin the fulfillment of My Prayer, and the prayer of the whole Church: ‘Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as It is in Heaven’.”

[Jesus speaking]
“…The Three Divine Persons were inseparable, nor subject to separating from Ourselves, therefore I can say: ‘I remained in Heaven and I descended onto earth; and the Father and the Holy Spirit descended with Me to earth, and They remained in Heaven.’ So in this Act so Great Our Divine Being overflowed so much in Love, that the Heavens were amazed and the Angels surprised and mute; everyone was wrapped in Our Flames of Love. The Incarnation was nothing other than an Act of Our Divine Will; what does It not know how to do and can do? Everything. With Its Power and with Its Infinite Love, It arrives at even Operating the Prodigy never heard of, nor done, of making Us remain in Heaven and descend into the prison of the Maternal Womb. So Our Will wanted, so it was done.
“Now, My daughter, every time the soul wants to do My Will, My Celestial Father first looks within Himself. He calls as in council the Sacrosanct Trinity, in order to fill that act with Our Will and with all possible and imaginable Goods. Then He pours it forth from Himself, and He invests the creature with His Operating, Communicating, Transforming Will, and as in the Incarnation, the Three Divine Persons remain in Heaven and They descend into the Womb of the Immaculate Virgin, so My Will with Its Power transports with Itself in Its Operative Act the Divine Trinity into the creature, while It leaves Him in Heaven, and It forms there in the human will Its Divine Act.
“Now, who can tell you the Marvels that become enclosed in this Act of Our Will? Our Love rises and diffuses so much, as to not be able to find a place for where to put Itself, and when It has filled everything It withdraws into Our Source. Our Sanctity feels Honored with the Divine Act of Our own Will Operating in the creature, and It diffuses with surprising Grace in order to communicate Its Sanctity to all creatures. They are Indescribable Prodigies that It completes when the creature calls It to Operate in her. Therefore, make everything disappear in My Will, and We will give everything into your power, and you will be able to give Us everything, even Ourselves.” …
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 28, 1899 Volume 2
I confess the truth, I feel great repugnance; the effort I have to make in order to conquer myself is so great that the Lord alone can know the torture of my soul. But, oh holy obedience, what a powerful bond you are! You alone could win over me, and surpassing all my repugnance, almost impassable mountains, you bind me to the Will of God and of the confessor. But, please, O Holy Spouse, as great as my sacrifice is, so much help do I need; I want nothing but that You hold me in your arms and sustain me. In this way, assisted by You, I will be able to say only the truth, only for your glory, and to my confusion.
This morning, since the confessor celebrated Mass, I also received Communion. My mind was in a sea of confusion because of this obedience that the confessor gave me, to write everything that passes in my interior. As I received Jesus, I began to tell Him of my pains, especially my insufficiency, and many other things. But Jesus did not seem to care about this thing of mine, and did not answer to anything. A light came to my mind, and I said: “Who knows whether I myself am the cause for which Jesus is not showing Himself as usual.” So, with all my heart, I said to Him: “O please! My Good and my All, don’t show Yourself so indifferent with me – You make my heart split with pain. If it is because of the writing – let it be, let it be, even if it cost me the sacrifice of my life, I promise I will do it!” Then Jesus changed appearance and, all benign, He told me: “What do you fear? Have I not assisted you the other times? My Light will surround you everywhere, and so you will be able to manifest it.”
Purity of intention.
While He was saying this, I don’t know how, I saw the confessor near Jesus; and the Lord told him: “See, everything you do passes into Heaven. Therefore, see with what purity you must operate, thinking that all of your steps, words and works come before My Presence, and if they are pure – that is, if they are done for Me – I take greatest delight in them and I feel them around Me like many messengers that remind Me continuously of you. But if they are done for low and earthly purposes, I feel bothered by them.” And as He was saying this, He seemed to grab His Hands, and raising them up to Heaven, He said to him: “Your eyes always on high; you are of Heaven – work for Heaven!”
While I was seeing the confessor, and Jesus saying this to him, in my mind it seemed to me that if one operated in that way, it would happen as to a person who has to leave one house to move to another. What does he do? First he sends all of his things and everything he possesses, and then he goes himself. In the same way, we first send our works to take a place for us in Heaven, and then, when our time comes, we go ourselves. Oh, what a beautiful cortege they will make for us! …
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 27, 1900 Volume 3
Having abandoned all of myself in the lovable Will of Our Lord, I saw myself surrounded completely by my sweet Jesus, inside and out. By having abandoned myself in Him, I saw myself as if my being had become transparent, and wherever I turned, I could see my highest Good. But that which amazed me was that while I saw myself surrounded by Jesus inside and out, so was I, my poor being, my will, surrounding Jesus as though within a circle, in such a way that He would not be able to find an opening to go out, because my will, united to His, kept Him chained, without any possibility that He might escape me. Oh admirable secret of the Will of my Lord – indescribable is Your happiness!
Now, while I was in this state, blessed Jesus told me; “My daughter, in the soul who is completely transformed in my Volition I find sweet rest. Her soul becomes for Me like those soft objects which cause no bother to someone who wants to rest; on the contrary, be they even tired and suffering people, the softness and the pleasure they receive in resting over those objects is such that, when they wake up, they find themselves strong and healthy. Such is for Me the soul who is conformed to My Will; and I, as recompense, let Myself be bound by her will and I make the Divine Sun shine in her as in the full midday.” Having said this, He disappeared.
Then, later, after I received Communion He came back and transported me outside of myself. I could see many people, and Jesus told me: “Tell them, tell them that great is the evil they do by murmuring about one another. They draw My Indignation, and with justice, because I see that while they are subject to the same miseries and weaknesses, they do nothing but raise tribunals against one another. If they do this among themselves, what should I, who am Pure and Holy, do with them? According to the charity which they exercise toward one another, so do I feel drawn to use Mercy with them.” Jesus was saying this to me, and I repeated it to those people; and then we withdrew.
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 26, 1900 Volume 3
After going through several days of privation – at most, He would come sometimes like a shadow, and would run away – I felt such pain that I consumed myself with tears. Having compassion for my sorrow, blessed Jesus came, and He looked and looked at me again; then He said to me: “My daughter, do not fear for I do not leave you. However, when you are without My Presence I do not want you to lose heart, but rather, from today on, when you are deprived of Me, I want you to take My Will and to delight in It, loving Me and glorifying Me in My Will, and holding My Will as if It were My very Person. By doing so, you will keep Me in your very hands. What forms the Beatitude of Paradise? Certainly My Divinity. Now, what would form the beatitude of My dear ones on earth? With certainty, My Will. My Will can never escape you; you will always have It in your possession, and if you remain in the Circle of My Will, there you will experience the joys most ineffable and the pleasures most pure. By never going out of the circle of My Will, the soul becomes noble, divinized, and all of her operations reverberate in the center of the Divine Sun, just as the sun’s rays reverberate on the surface of the earth – not one of them goes out of their center, which is God. The soul who does My Will is alone the noble queen who nourishes herself from My Breath, because she takes her food and her drinks from no place but My Will, and by nourishing herself from My Will all Holy, a most pure blood will flow in her veins, and her breath will spread a fragrant perfume, which will cheer the whole of Me, because it is produced by My very Breath. Therefore, I want nothing else from you but that you form your beatitude in the Circle of My Will, without ever going out of It, not even for a brief instant.”
While He was saying this, I felt an alarm and a fear in my interior, that the speaking of Jesus might indicate that He was not going to come, and that I was to find peace in His Will. Oh God, what a mortal pain! What grips in my heart! But Jesus, always benign, added: “How can I leave you since you are victim? When you cease to be victim, only then will I not come; but as long as you are victim I will always feel drawn to come.”
So it seems I have remained at peace, but I feel as though surrounded by the adorable Will of God, in such a way that I find no opening through which to go out. I hope He will always keep me in this circle that connects me completely in God.
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 25, 1928 Volume 23
… But while my poor mind wandered in the Fiat, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, My Will is present in the midst of creatures as center of life. Similarly, the human heart can be called king of one’s nature; in fact, if the heart palpitates, the mind thinks, the mouth speaks, the hands operate, the feet walk; if the heart does not palpitate, all of a sudden everything ends, because the king of the poor nature is missing, and therefore the one who rules and gives life to the thought, to the word, and to everything that the creature can do, is missing. Similarly, the thought is king of the soul, the dwelling, the throne in which the soul carries out her activity, her life, her regime.
“Now, if the human nature wanted to suffocate the beating of the heart, to do without its king in speaking, thinking and the like, what would happen? It itself would give death to all of its acts; so, it would be the suicide of itself. And if the soul wanted to suffocate the thought, she would not find the way in order to carry out her activity, and therefore it would be like a king without kingdom and without people.
“Now, what the heart is for the human life, and the thought for the soul, My Divine Will is in each creature. It is like Center of Life, and from Its incessant and Eternal Heartbeat, It palpitates and the creature thinks, palpitates and speaks, walks and operates. But creatures not only do not think about It, but suffocate It; they suffocate Its Light, Its Sanctity, Its Peace, the upright Operating, the just and holy Speaking; and some of them suffocate It so much as to render themselves the suicides of their souls.
“And My Will, in the low world, is like a king without kingdom and without people; and creatures live as if they had no King, no Divine Life, no Regime, because the king of their heartbeat, for their nature, and the king of their thought, for their souls, is missing. And since, because of Its Immensity, It envelops everything and everyone, It is forced to live as though suffocated within Itself, because there is no one who receives Its Life, Its Attitude, Its Regime.
“But It wants to form Its Kingdom on earth, It wants to have Its chosen and faithful people; and therefore, even though It is present in the midst of creatures and lives unknown and suffocated, It does not stop, It does not depart for Its Celestial Regions, but persists in remaining in their midst to make Itself known. It would want to make everyone know the good It wants to do, Its Celestial Laws, Its Insuperable Love, Its Heartbeat that palpitates Light, Sanctity, Love, Gifts, Peace, Happiness; and such does It want the children of Its Kingdom.
“And this is the reason for Its Life in you, for Its Knowledges—to make known what Divine Will means. And I enjoy and remain hidden in My very Will, to give It all the field and the carrying out of Its Life in you.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 24, 1912 Volume 11
After I saw several souls around Jesus, especially one who was more sensitive, Jesus told me: “My daughter, if the souls with sensitive temperament start doing good, they make more progress than the others, because their sensitivity leads them to great and arduous enterprises.” I prayed that He would take those remains of human sensitivity away from that soul, and that He would squeeze her more to Himself and tell her that He loved her, for He would conquer her completely, as soon as she heard that He loved her... “You will see that You will succeed. Did You not conquer me in this way, telling me that You love me very, very much?” And Jesus: “Yes, yes, I will do it, but I want her cooperation — that she will escape as much as she can from the people who excite her sensitivity.”
So I added: “My Love, tell me, what is Your temperament?” And Jesus: “One who lives in My Will loses her temperament and acquires Mine. So, the soul who lives in My Will finds in herself a pleasant, attractive, penetrating, dignified temperament, and altogether simple — a child-like simplicity; in sum, she looks like Me in everything. Even more, she keeps her temperament within her power as she wants and as it’s needed. Since she lives in My Will, she takes part in My Power, so she keeps at her disposal all things, and herself. According to the circumstances and to the people she deals with, she takes My Temperament and applies it.”
“Tell me, will you give me a first place in Your Will?” Jesus smiled: “Yes, yes, I promise you. I will never let you out of My Will, and you will take and do whatever you want.”
“Jesus, I want to be poor poor, little little. I don’t want anything even of your things; it is better if You keep them. I want only You, and You will give me things as I need them; isn’t it true, O Jesus?”
And Jesus: “Brava, brava, my daughter! Finally I have found someone who does not want anything. Everyone wants something from Me, but not the all, that is Myself only; while by wanting nothing, you want everything, and here is the fineness and the astuteness of true love.” I smiled and He disappeared.
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 23, 1927 Volume 21
…Then, after this, having received Holy Communion, I was saying to my beloved Jesus: “My Love and my Life, Your Will has the virtue of multiplying Your Life for as many beings as exist and will exist on earth. And I, in Your Will, want to form as many Jesuses in order to give the whole of You to each soul of Purgatory, to each Blessed of Heaven, and to each being living on earth.”
Now, while I was saying this, my celestial Jesus told me: “My daughter, in one who lives in My Volition, My Will does precisely this: It multiplies the acts of the soul by Its own Virtue, for as many as are the created beings. The soul receives the Divine Attitude, and her act becomes act of all. The Divine Operating is precisely this: one act that It does multiplies itself into many, such that all can make that act their own, as if it had been done for each being—while the act was one.
“So, the soul in whom My Will reigns places herself in the condition of God Himself—both of glory and of sorrow, depending on whether creatures receive it or reject it. The glory because her act can bring the Good and the Life of Jesus to all, is great, exuberant, infinite. The sorrow because not all creatures take that good, and because My very Life remains suspended, without bringing the benefit of My Divine Life, is sorrow that surpasses all sorrows.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 22, 1921 Volume 12
I was in my usual state, and my sweet Jesus was all silent. I said to Him: “My Love, why are You not saying anything to me?” And Jesus: “My daughter, it is my usual way to remain silent after having spoken. I want to rest in My own Word — that is, in the very work that came out from Me. I did this in the Creation: after I said, ‘FIAT LUX’, and light came to be — ‘FIAT’ to all the other things, and things came to life, I wanted to rest, and My eternal Light rested in the light delivered in time. My Love rested in the love with which I invested the whole of Creation; My Beauty rested in the whole universe, which I molded after My own Beauty. My Wisdom and My Power rested as well, with which I ordered everything, with such wisdom and power that, in looking, I Myself said: ‘How beautiful is the Work that came out from Me — I want to rest in It.’ I do the same with souls: after I have spoken, I want to rest and enjoy the effects of my word.”
After this, He added: “Let us say ‘FIAT’ together.” And everything — Heaven and earth — was filled with adoration to the Supreme Majesty. Then, again, He repeated, “FIAT”, and the Blood, the Wounds and the Pains of Jesus arose and multiplied to infinity. And then, for the third time, “FIAT”, and this FIAT multiplied in all the wills of creatures to sanctify them. Then, He said to me: “My daughter these three FIATs are the Creating, the Redeeming, and the Sanctifying FIAT. In creating man, I endowed him with three powers — intellect, memory and will; and with three FIATs will I accomplish the work of sanctification of man.
“At the Creating FIAT, the intellect of man remains as though enraptured. How many things he understands about Me and about My Love for him, as I am hidden inside all created things in order to make Myself known, and to give him Love so as to be loved. In the FIAT of Redemption, his memory remains as though enchanted by the excesses of My Love in suffering so much in order to help and save man in the state of sin. In the third FIAT, My Love wants to display even more. I want to assail the human will; I want to place My own Will as support of his will, so that the human will may remain not only enraptured and enchanted, but sustained by an Eternal Will. And as My Will becomes his support in everything, man will almost be unable to escape It.
“The generations will not end until My Will Reigns upon earth. My Redeeming FIAT will place Itself in the middle, between the Creating FIAT and the Sanctifying FIAT. They will interweave, all three together, and will accomplish the Sanctification of man. The third FIAT will give such Grace to the creature as to make him return almost to the state of origin; and only then, when I see man just as he came out from Me, will My Work be complete, and I will take My perpetual Rest in the last FIAT. Only the life in My Volition will give back to man his state of origin. Therefore, be attentive, and together with Me, help Me to complete the sanctification of the creature.” …

Continuing in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, My Love toward the creature made Me die in every instant. The nature of true love is to die and live continuously for the beloved. The love of wanting her with oneself makes one feel death, and causes a martyrdom, perhaps of the most painful and prolonged. However, love itself, stronger even than death, gives one life at the very instant in which he dies — but to do what? To give life to the loved one, and form one single life with her. Those flames have the virtue of consuming one life to fuse it within the other. This is precisely the virtue of My Love: to make Me die, and form many seeds from My Consummation, to place them in the hearts of all creatures, so as to make Me rise again and form with them one single life with Me.
“Now, you too can die, who knows how many times for love of Me — and maybe in every instant. Every time you want Me and do not see Me, your will feels the death of My privation – and it does in reality, because as you do not see Me, your will dies because it does not find the life it looks for. However, after it has consumed itself in that act, I am reborn in you, and you in Me; and you find the life you wanted, but to return to die once again in order to live in Me. In the same way, if you desire Me, your unsatisfied desire feels death; but as I make Myself seen, it finds its life again. And so, your love, your intelligence, your heart, can be in continuous act of dying and living for Me. If I have done this for you, it is only fair that you too do it for Me.”

[Jesus speaking]
“…Oh, what oceans of love and relations opened between My Humanity and the Supreme Majesty! So, everything you see, even the most tiny little flower in the field, was one more relation between creature and Creator. Therefore, it was right that He demanded recognition — one more love from the creatures. I undertook everything; I recognized Him, and I adored the Creative Power for all. But My Love toward so much Goodness is not content. I would like other creatures to recognize, love and adore this Creative Power and — as much as it is possible for creature — take part in these relations which the Eternal One has spread through the whole world, rendering homage to this act of Creation of the Eternal One in the name of all.
“But do you know who can render this homage? The souls who live in My Will. As soon as they enter It, they find all the acts of the Supreme Majesty as though in act; and since this Will is in everything and in everyone, they remain multiplied in everything, and are able to render honor, glory, adoration and love for all. Therefore, come into My Will, come with Me before the Divine Height, to be the first one to give homage to the Creator of all.”
I am unable to say how, I entered this Divine Volition, but always together with my sweet Jesus, and I saw this Supreme Majesty in the act of delivering the entire Creation. Oh God, what love! Each created thing received the mark of love, the key of communication, the mute language to eloquently speak of God. But to who? To the ungrateful creature.
I don’t know how to continue to explain. My little intelligence was lost in seeing the many openings of communication, the immense love which came from them — and the creature, who rendered all these goods as though extraneous... Then, together with Jesus, multiplying ourselves in everyone, we adored, thanked and recognized the Creative Power in the name of all; and the Eternal One received the glory of Creation. Jesus disappeared, and I returned into myself.

[Jesus speaking]
“…But do you want to know when you fight with Me and I with you? I fight when I manifest to you the knowledges about My Eternal Fiat. So, each saying, each knowledge, each simile about It is one fight and one battle that I make with you in order to win your will, put it at its place, created by Us, and call it, almost by dint of fighting, into the order of the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and as I do it with you in order to subdue your will, I start it in the midst of creatures. I fight with you when I teach you the path which you must follow, what you have to do in order to live in My Kingdom, and the happiness, the joys, you will possess. In sum, I fight by dint of light, which My Knowledges contain; I fight by dint of love and by the most touching examples, in such a way that you cannot resist My Fight. I fight by means of promises of endless Happiness and Joy. My Fight is persistent, nor do I ever become tired – but to win what? Your will, and in yours, those who will recognize Mine in order to live in My Kingdom. And you fight with Me when you receive My Knowledges, and placing them in order in your soul, you form the Kingdom of My Supreme Fiat in you; and fighting against Me, you try to win My Kingdom. Each one of your acts done in My Will is a fight that you make with Me. In each round you do through all created things, to unite yourself to all the acts My Will does in all Creation, you call all Creation to wage battle in order to win My Kingdom, moving My very Will, dominating in all created things, to wage battle against My Will Itself in order to establish Its Kingdom.
This is why in these times, the wind, the water, the sea, the earth, the heavens, are all in motion more than ever, waging battle against the creatures as new phenomena occur — and how many more will occur — destroying people and cities: because in battles it is necessary to dispose oneself to suffer losses, and many times also on the part of the winner. There have never been conquests of kingdoms without battle, and if there have been, they have not lasted. You fight with Me when, investing everything I did and suffered in My Humanity – that is, My Tears, My most intimate Pains, My Prayers, My Steps, My Words, and even the drops of my Blood – you impress on them your ‘I love you’, and for each one of my acts, you ask for the coming of the Kingdom of my Supreme Fiat. Who can tell you of the fight you make with Me? You move My very Acts to wage battle against Me, that I may surrender and grant you My Kingdom.
"Therefore, I fight with you, and you fight with Me. This fight is necessary – to you, in order to win My Kingdom; and to Me, in order to win your will and to begin the battle in the midst of creatures, so as to establish the Kingdom of My Supreme Will. I have My own Will, and all of Its very Power, Strength and Immensity in order to win; you have My Will Itself and all Creation and all the good I did in Redemption at your disposal, in order to launch a formidable army to wage battle and win the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat. See, each word you write is also a fight that you make against Me — one more soldier that joins the army, which must win the Kingdom of My Will. Therefore, be attentive, My daughter, for these are times of fighting, and it is necessary to use all means in order to win.”

Finding myself in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, everything you do for Me, even a breath, enters into Me as a pledge of your love for Me; and I give you, in exchange, My Pledges of Love. Therefore, the soul can say, ‘I live on the Pledges that My Beloved gives to me.’” Then He added: “My beloved daughter, one can say that, as you live in My Life, your life is finished — you do not live any longer. Therefore, since you no longer live, but Myself within you, anything they may do to you, pleasing or displeasing, I will receive as if it were done directly to Me. Here is how you can understand this: you won’t feel anything, pleasure or displeasure, whatever they may do to you; and who else could feel it if not Myself, who lives in you and loves you very, very much?”

[Jesus speaking]
“…My Love is that which comes closest to man — even more, It is the cradle in which he was born, although everything is in harmony in My Divinity, just as the members are in full harmony with the body. Even though the intelligence takes on the directing role, in which the will of man resides, if he does not want, one can say that the eye does not see, the hand does not work, the foot does not walk. On the other hand, if he wants, the eye sees, the hand works, the foot runs — all members place themselves in accord. The same with My Divinity: My Will takes on the directing role, and all the other attributes place themselves in full harmony in order to follow what My Will wants. Therefore, Wisdom, Power, Science, Goodness, etc., concur. And since all of My Attributes, although distinct among themselves, live in the fount of Love and overflow with Love, this is why, while it is Love that runs, acts and gives Itself, all of my other attributes concur with It.
"Furthermore, that which is most necessary to man is Love. Love is like bread for the natural life. One can do without science, power, wisdom, or at most, these are things which one wants in time and circumstance. But what would one say if I had created man and did not love him? Besides, why create him if I were not to love him? It would be a dishonor for Me, and a work unworthy of Me, who can do no other thing but Love. And what would happen to man if he did not have an origin of Love and could not love? He would a brute, and unworthy even to be looked at. Therefore, Love must run in everything. Love should run in all the human actions, just as the image of the king circulates in the currency of a kingdom; and if the coins are not marked with the image of the king, they are not recognized as currency. In the same way, if Love does not run in a work, it is not recognized as My Work.”
Divine Will for every day of the year - February 16, 1908 Volume 8
As I was in my usual state, I was thinking about why it is the cross alone that makes us know whether we really love the Lord, while there are many other things, like the virtues, prayer, the Sacraments, which could make us know whether we love the Lord. While I was thinking of this, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, it is really so, the cross alone is that which makes one know whether he really loves the Lord — but a cross carried with patience and resignation, because where there is patience and resignation in crosses, there is Divine Life. Since nature is so reluctant to suffering, if there is patience, it cannot be something natural, but Divine, and the soul no longer loves the Lord with her love alone, but united with the Love of the Divine Life. So, what doubt can she have whether she loves or not, if she arrives at loving Him with His own love?
“On the other hand, in the other things, and even in the very Sacraments, there also may be someone who loves, who contains this Divine Life within himself, but these things cannot give the certainty of the cross. It may be there, or it may not, because of lack of dispositions. One can very well go to Confession, but if he lacks the dispositions, it certainly cannot be said that he loves and that he has received this Divine Life within himself. Another may receive Communion; indeed he receives the Divine Life, but he can only say that this Divine Life remains within him if he had the true dispositions. In fact, it can be seen how some receive Communion or go to Confession, but as occasions arise, the patience of Divine Life cannot be seen in them; and if patience is missing, love is missing because love is recognized only through sacrifice. And so here are the doubts; while the cross, patience, resignation, are fruits produced only by Grace and by Love.”

… Then, I continued my abandonment in the Divine Fiat, and unable to do anything else, I kept saying my little “I love You” in the Divine Acts. Not only this, but I was saying to myself: “My Jesus, my Love, may my ‘I love You’ flow in Your heartbeat, in Your breath, on Your tongue, in Your voice, and even in the littlest particles of Your adorable Person.” But while I was doing this, my dear Life, making Himself seen, made me place my “I love You” in His Heart, inside and outside of His whole Divine Person. And He enjoyed it so much, that He incited me to repeat as many “I love You’s” as I could, so as to be able to find the well-liked “I love You” in His whole Being.
And then, clasping me to Himself, He told me: “My daughter, love is life, and when this love comes out of the soul who lives in My Will, it has the virtue of forming in God Himself the life of love. And since the substance of the Divine Life is Love, the creature, with her love, forms in God another Divine Life, and We feel inside of Our very Selves Our Life formed by the creature. This Life that, with her love, united to Our Will—because it is Our Will that administers to her the power, such that the creature can reach the point of forming the very Divine Life, all of love, within God—this Life is the triumph of God and the triumph of the creature. And in act of triumph We take this Divine Life that the creature has formed within Our very Selves, and We give It for the good of all creatures as the precious gift that the little daughter of Our Will gives to all; and We anxiously await her to come with her love to form more Divine Lives within Our Supreme Being. My daughter, Our Love is not sterile; on the contrary, It has the seed of generating continuous life; so, as you were saying ‘I love You’ in My heartbeat, in My breath, so I generated another heartbeat, another breath—and so with all the rest, in such a way that I felt within Myself the new generation of your ‘I love You’ that formed the new Life of My Love; and—oh! how happy I felt, thinking that My daughter was forming for Me, inside of Me, My very Life within Me, all of love. If you knew how moving is this act of the creature, that with her love gives God to God…. Oh! how it enraptures Us; and feeling enraptured, We give more Love, to have the contentment of making her repeat Our new lives of love. Therefore, love, love very much, and you will make your sweet Jesus happier.”

My flight continues in the Divine Volition. O, how lost I feel inside Its Immensity! Its Power and Activity are such that, when It Operates in the act of the creature, It wants to give that act to everyone, filling Heaven and earth, to make everyone see and feel what It can do and how It can Love. I remained surprised, and my beloved Jesus, visiting my little soul, all Goodness told me: “My blessed daughter, the Love of My Will Operating in the creature is such as to appear unbelievable. When It Works, My Will wants all to receive that Act and make it their own. With Its Omnipotent Breath, It puts wings on that Act so as to impose it on the sun, the Heaven, the stars, the wind, the sea, and even the air that all breathe. Then it flies higher, up to the Celestial regions, and everyone—the Angels, the Saints, the Mother and Queen, and even Our Divinity—goes through that Act, in such a way that they all must be able to say: ‘This Act is mine.’ But do you know why? The Love of My Will is such that It wants everyone to possess Its Act, giving Life to each one of them. It wants to decorate, ornament and invest everything and everyone with Its Creative Virtue in order to receive the Glory, the Love and the Honor of My Will from everything and from each one.
“My Volition never stops. It is satisfied only when It sees that Its Act has filled everything; then, It carries along with Itself—as a Triumph—the creature who gave It the freedom to Operate in her act, to make It known and be Loved by all. These are Our Feasts—Our Pure Joys of Creation: to be able to place Ourselves in the creature, as if We wanted to duplicate Our Power, Immensity, Love and Glory to the Infinite, within the human act of the creature. And there’s no wonder about it—Our Divine Will is everywhere; therefore, Our Acts that animate the acts of the creatures fly, taking shelter inside Our Volition, even in the most tiny hiding places in which My Will is present. These Acts serve Us as a return of Love for the whole of Creation, as the sweetest of company—as narrators of Our Supreme Being. Therefore, Our Love is Exuberant for the one who wants to Live in our Fiat. We are all eyes over her—almost spying—to see when she gives Us her act; to let Our Creative Virtue Operate in it. This creature is for Us the show of Our Love—the activity of Our Power; and she becomes the Repeater of Our own Life.” …

I felt all afflicted, and my sweet Jesus, making Himself seen for just a little, told me: “My daughter, courage, be faithful and attentive to Me, because faithfulness and attentiveness produce equality of humors in the soul, forming one single humor and establishing perfect peace; and this peace renders her dominator, in such a way that she does whatever she wants, and reaches wherever she wants. Especially for one who lives in My Will, it happens as to the sun — it never changes, one is its act: to unleash light and heat from its sphere. It does not do something today, and something else tomorrow; it is always faithful and constant in doing the same thing. But while its act is one, as this act descends and hits the surface of the earth, how many different acts do not take place? They are almost innumerable. If it finds a flower half-closed, with the kiss of its light and with its heat, it opens it and gives it color and fragrance. If it finds an unripe fruit, it matures it and gives it sweetness. If it finds fields that are green, it makes them golden. If it finds air that is putrid, it purifies it with the kiss of its light. In sum, to all things it gives what they need for their existence on this earth, and to be able to produce the utility which they contain, and which has been established by God. So, by its faithfulness and by doing always the same thing, the sun is the fulfillment of the Divine Will over all created things. Oh, if the sun were not always equal in sending its light, how many fluctuations, how many disorders there would be on earth! And man would not be able to make any calculation, either about fields, or about plants. He would say: ‘If the sun does not send me its light and its heat, I do not know when I am supposed to harvest, nor when the fruits will mature.’
“The same happens with the soul who is faithful and attentive: in My Will one is her act, but its effects are innumerable. On the other hand, if she is inconstant and inattentive, neither she nor I can make any calculation, nor establish the good which she can produce.”

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling all oppressed because of the privation of my blessed Jesus. Then He came for just a little, and told me: “My daughter, all other virtues in the creatures build a wall of a certain height, but the wall of the soul who lives in the Will of God is a wall so high and deep, that neither its depth nor its height can be found. Also, it is all of pure and solid gold, not subject to any misfortune, because since this wall is in the Divine Volition – that is, in God – God Himself keeps it, and there is no power that can defy God. And the soul, while living in this Divine Volition, is clothed with a Light all similar to the One in whom she lives, so much so, that also in Heaven she will shine more than all the others, in such a way as to be an occasion of greater glory for the very saints. Ah, My daughter, think a little bit of what an atmosphere of peace and of goods the mere words ‘Will of God’ contain. At the mere thought of wanting to live in this atmosphere, the soul feels already changed; she feels a Divine Air investing her, she feels her human being being dissolved, she feels divinized – from impatient, patient; from proud - humble, docile, charitable, obedient; in sum, from poor, rich. All the other virtues arise to surround, like a crown, this high wall which has no boundaries; because, since God has no boundaries, the soul is dissolved within God, she loses her own boundaries, and acquires the boundaries of the Will of God.”

… After this, I was doing my round in the Creation, and while impressing my ‘I love you’ on each created thing, I asked that, by virtue of that Divine Will that preserves them beautiful and whole, the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat would come upon earth. But while I was doing this, I thought to myself: “Created things are inanimate, therefore they do not have the virtue of asking for a Kingdom so holy.” But while I was thinking of this, my beloved Jesus came out from within my interior and told me: “My daughter, it is true that created things are without soul; however within each one of them flows the life of My Will, and only by virtue of It, they maintain themselves beautiful, just as they were created. Now, created things are all noble and queens — all belonging to My royal family; and by virtue of My Will which animates them, and of the acts which My Will exercises in them, they have the right to ask for the coming of My Kingdom, because it is also their Kingdom. In order to ask, with right, for the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, it is necessary to be one from Our Family, in whom Our Will has Its prime place, Its Throne, Its Life. This is why I first made you be born in It, so that It might have Its Rights of paternity over you, and you might have the rights of daughter, in order to have the rights to ask for Its Kingdom – to ask, not yourself alone, but also by virtue of all created things — that is, of all those innumerable acts which Our Will exercises in all Creation – that Our Kingdom and yours may come. …”
