Divine Will for every day of the year - May 28, 1929 Volume 26

… So, while I was in this state, my beloved Jesus told me:  “Daughter of My Will, if you knew what Love I feel when I decide to speak to you about My Divine Fiat…. Every time I have spoken to you about It, the Heavens have lowered themselves, so great was the esteem and the veneration they felt; and paying homage to what I would be about to say, and lowering themselves, they would overflow from the Celestial Fatherland and would all come to attention to listen to Me; and while I would speak, they would feel within themselves New Creations of Divine Lives, New Joys, New Beauties.  

“In fact, when it comes to speaking to you about more knowledges on My Divine Fiat, the whole of Heaven feels the Power of It, and they compete among themselves to listen, and to receive the New Effects of those Knowledges.  So, it has been the Feast of all Heaven, every time I have spoken to you about My Most Holy Will, because It has felt Its Happiness being doubled, and only Heaven could contain all the Admirable Effects, the Pure Joys, of even just one Knowledge of My Fiat.  Only in this way could I speak to you about It—with the Heavens lowered, so as to receive their reverent acts and the homages due to My Divine Will. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 27, 1922 Volume 14

I was thinking to myself: “If one act done in His Will is so great, how many of them, alas, do I let escape!” And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, there is the prevenient act and the actual act. The prevenient act is when the soul, at the first rising of the day, fixes her will in Mine, and decides and confirms that she wants to live and operate only in My Volition. She anticipates all of her acts and makes them all flow in My Will. With the prevenient will, My Sun rises, My Life remains duplicated in all of her acts, as though in one single act; and this makes up for the actual act. However, the prevenient act can be shaded — obscured by the human ways, by one’s own will, by self-esteem, by negligence and other things, which are like clouds before the Sun, that render its light less vivid on the face of the earth.

“On the other hand, the actual act is not subject to clouds; on the contrary, it has the virtue of dispelling the clouds, if there are any, and it makes many more suns rise, in which My Life is duplicated, with such vividness of light and heat as to form as many New Suns, one more beautiful than the other. However, both of them are necessary: the prevenient act gives the hand, disposes and forms the plane for the actual act; the actual act preserves and expands the plane of the prevenient.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 26, 1927 Volume 21

… After this, I was thinking to myself:  “Jesus loves His Will so much, and it seems that He so much yearns for It to be known, so that It may dominate and reign.  But it seems difficult to me that the Divine Will may be known, because there is no one who occupies himself with It, nor is anyone interested.  All the interest is of Jesus, but in creatures it does not exist.  So, if these creatures neglect to give this great glory to God as well as to hold out the Fullness of All Goods to creatures, how can the Kingdom of the Eternal Fiat ever become known?”

Now, while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter, what seems difficult to you is not difficult for God, just as in Redemption there were no difficulties for God, nor could all the human perfidy hinder the course of Our Love, and even less the fulfillment of Our Decision to come to redeem mankind.  When the Divinity decides to do an act, to accomplish a work, whatever the causes, the circumstances, the impediments might be, It Triumphs of everything, It Conquers everything, and It does what It has established.  

“So, the culminating and important point for God is in establishing what He wants to do; once He has done this, He has done everything.  Therefore, if in Us it is established that Our Will must be known and that Its Kingdom will come upon earth, it is as though already done.  …”

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

I felt as though immersed in the Eternal Volition, and my always lovable Jesus, drawing me to Himself, transported me outside of myself, showing me Heaven and earth.  And as He was showing me this, He told me:  “Beloved daughter of Our Supreme Will, see, this whole machine of the universe – heavens, sun, seas, and all the rest – was created by Us to give it as a gift - but do you know to whom?  To the ones who would do Our Will.  Everything was given to them as to Our legitimate children.  We did this for the decorum of Our Works, depositing them and giving them as Gift, not to foreign people or to illegitimate children, who would not understand the great Goods contained in them, nor appreciate the Greatness and the Sanctity of Our works – on the contrary, they would waste them and despise them; but by giving them to Our legitimate children.  And since each created thing contains a distinct Love and a special Good for the one to whom the gift is directed, Our Will, dwelling in them and forming Its very Life in them, would make them comprehend all these Loves, distinct among themselves, which are present in the whole creation, as well as all the specialties of Goods.  So, they would requite Us for each distinct Love, and would give Us glory and honor for all the Goods given to them.  Our Will, which had created them with one Fiat, and which knew all the Secrets — dwelling in Our legitimate children, with another Fiat would reveal Our Secrets contained in all created things, and would make them give Us love for Love.  Harmonies and communications would be mutual between them and Us.  And even though it seems that those who do not do Our Will enjoy and take part in them, the gifts are not theirs – they do so as an indirect cause, as usurpers and illegitimate children.  More so, since My Will does not dwell in them, and therefore they understand nothing or very little of My Love which all creation brings to them, and of the great goods present in it.  Even more, many don’t even know Who created so many things — true foreign people who, while living of the things that belong to Me, don’t even want to recognize Me.

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

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

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 24, 1919 Volume 12

I was feeling very oppressed and afflicted because of the privation of my sweet Jesus, and I was telling Him with all my heart: ‘Come, my Life; without You I feel I am dying - but not to die once, rather, die continuously! Come, I cannot take any more, I cannot take any more!’ My sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and I felt Him kissing my heart intensely. Then, unveiling Himself, He told me: “My daughter, I felt an irresistible need to pour Myself out with you in love.” And I, immediately: “Jesus, how much You make me suffer! The privation of You kills me. All other pains would be nothing, or rather, smiles and kisses of Yours; but your privation is death without pity. Ah, Jesus! Jesus, how You have changed!” And He, interrupting me, told me: “Daughter of My Love, you do not want to convince yourself that I look at the world through you; and since I dwell in you, you are forced to feel what the world sends Me — hardness, darkness, sins, fury of My Justice, etc. Therefore, instead of thinking of My privation, you must think of defending Me from the evils that creatures send Me, and of breaking the fury of My Justice. So I will remain sheltered within you, and creatures will be struck less.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 23, 1899 Volume 2

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

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

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

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

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 22, 1912 Volume 11

Finding myself in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little while, and since I was feeling a certain discontent in me, He told me: “My daughter, true Love is not subject to discontent; rather, it takes the opportunity to turn these same discontents into the most beautiful contentments by virtue of Love. Further, since I am the Contentment of contentments, I cannot tolerate any discontent, any more than if it were My own rather than hers. So I am forced to give her that thing which makes her happy in order to have her all conformed with Me; otherwise there would be some clashing and dissimilar fibers, heartbeats or thoughts which would make us lose the best of our harmony. I cannot tolerate all this in the one who really loves Me.

“Moreover, true Love operates for love, and for love it does not operate; it asks for love, and it gives for love. Therefore, true Love ends all in love; for love it dies and for love it rises again.”

And I: “Jesus, it seems that You want to escape me with this talking, but know that I am not giving up. For now, surrender to me for love; do for me an act of love and surrender to all that is so necessary to me, and to which I am so constrained by love. After all, I give everything to You. Otherwise I will be discontent.”

And Jesus: “You want to win through discontents.” He smiled and disappeared.

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 21, 1925 Volume 17

… Then, as though wanting to cheer me and to strengthen me in His Most Holy Will, He took my hand in His and told me: “My daughter, come and do your round in My Will. See, My Will is one, but It flows in all created things, as though divided, but without being divided. Look at the stars, the blue heavens, the sun, the moon, the plants, the flowers, the fruits, the fields, the earth, the sea — everything and everyone: in each thing there is an Act of My Will – and not only an act, but My Will has remained in each created thing as the preserver of My own Act. My Will does not want to remain alone in Its Act, but wants the company of your act – It wants your return. This is why I placed you in My Will – that you may keep company to My Acts, and together with My Will, you will want whatever I want: that the stars twinkle, that the sun fill the earth with light, that the plants bloom, that the field become golden, that the bird warble, that the sea murmur, that the fish dart. In sum, you will want whatever I want, and so My Will will no longer feel alone in the created things, but will feel the company of your acts. Therefore, go around each created thing, and make yourself act for every Act of My Will. This is to live in My Will: never to leave your Creator alone, to admire all of His Works, and to give to Him, in return for His Divine Acts, the little acts of a creature.”

I don’t know how, I found myself in that immense void of Light, in order to find all those Acts which came out of the Will of God, to place in them my return, as act of adoration, of praise, of love, and of thanksgiving. Then, I found myself inside myself.

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 20, 1918 Volume 12

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

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

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

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

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

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 18, 1905 Volume 6

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me:  “My daughter, fear takes life away from love.  Not only this, but also the very virtues which do not originate from love decrease the life of love in the soul.  On the contrary, in all things love deserves preference, because love makes everything easy, while the very virtues which do not originate from love are like many victims that end up in a slaughter – that is, the destruction of the virtues themselves.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Jesus speaking]

“… See, the sky studded with stars is beautiful, but the sun also is beautiful, though they are distinct from each other, and the sky does one office, the sun, another.  The sea is beautiful, but the flowery earth, the height of the mountains, the expanse of the plains also are beautiful, though the beauties and the offices are distinct among them.  A garden is beautiful, but how many varieties of plants and beauties are in it?  There is the tiny little flower, beautiful in its littleness; there is the violet, the rose, the lily – all beautiful, but distinct in color, in fragrance, in size.  There is the little plant and the highest tree… What enchantment is a garden guided by an experienced gardener!

Now, my daughter, in the order of human nature also there will be some who will surpass the sky in sanctity and in beauty; some the sun, some the sea, some the flowery earth, some the height of the mountains, some the tiny little flower, some the little plant, and some the highest tree.  And even if man should withdraw from my Will, I will multiply the centuries so as to have, in the human nature, all the order and the multiplicity of created things and of their beauty - and to have it even surpassed in a more admirable and enchanting way.”

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

[Jesus speaking]

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

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

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

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

I don’t know how, but Jesus held me more tightly and raised me higher, into the midst of an unending Light. I felt annihilated, but my annihilation was replaced by a Divine Life, which unleashed from Itself many different Colors of Beauty, of Sanctity, of Light, of Goodness, of Peace, of Love, etc.; in such a way that my nothingness was transformed by those Divine Colors, to the extent of no longer being recognized and of enamoring the very One who had so much embellished me. …

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

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

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

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 9, 1900 Volume 3

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

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

… Then, after I suffered, my sweet Jesus told me: “Daughter of My Pains, know that the pains which the Jews gave Me were the shadow of those which the Divinity gave to Me. And this was just, in order to receive full satisfaction. In sinning, man offends the Supreme Majesty not only externally, but also internally, and he disfigures in his interior the Divine part which was infused in him when he was created. Therefore, sin is formed in the interior of man first, and then comes outside; even more, many times what comes outside is the minimum part, while the greater part remains in his interior. Now, creatures were incapable of penetrating into My Interior and of making Me satisfy, by means of pains, the Glory of the Father which they had denied to Him with so many interior offenses. More so, since these offenses wounded the most noble part of the creature – that is, the intellect, the memory and the will — in which the Divine Image is imprinted. Who, then, was to take on this charge if the creature was incapable? Therefore, it was almost necessary that the Divinity Itself take on this commitment, becoming My loving executioner — but more demanding, though loving — in order to receive full satisfaction for all the sins committed in the interior of man. …

Continuing in my usual state, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, if for a few days you do not see Me as usual, do not afflict yourself. Evils will increase; Heaven and earth will unite in order to strike man, and I do not want to afflict you by making you see so many evils.”

And I: “Ah, my Jesus, the greatest pain for me is being deprived of You. It is death without dying – pain indescribable and without end! Jesus, Jesus, what are You saying? Me without You? Without Life? Mind, Jesus — don’t say this to me any more.”

And Jesus added: “My daughter, do not become alarmed. I did not tell you that I will not come at all — but not often; and I told you before so as not to make you worry.
