Divine Will for every day of the year - December 10, 1933 Volume 33

I am always the little tiny ignorant one of the Supreme Being, and when the Divine Volition plunges me in Its Seas, I see that hardly the vowels, if that, do I know about His Adorable Majesty.  And my littleness is so much, that hardly do I know how to swallow some little drop of the so much that the Creator possesses.  So, going around in the Works of the Divine Fiat, I stopped in Eden in which was made present to me the Creation of Man, and I thought to myself:  “What could be the first word that Adam said when he was Created by God?”

And my Highest Good Jesus, visiting me with His brief little visit, all Goodness, as if He Himself wanted to tell it to me, told me:  “My daughter, I also feel the desire to tell you what was the first word pronounced by the lips of the first creature Created by Us.  You must know that no sooner did Adam feel Life, motion, reason, than he saw his God before him and he understood that He had formed him.  He felt in himself, in his whole being, still fresh, the impressions, the touch of His Creative Hands.  And grateful, in an impetus of Love he pronounced his first word:  ‘I Love You my God, my Father, Author of this my life.’  But it was not only the word, but the breath, the heartbeat, the drops of his blood that flowed in his veins, the motion, his whole being united together said as in chorus:  ‘I Love You, I Love You, I Love You.’  

“In fact, the first Lesson that he learned from his Creator, the first word that he learned to say, the first thought that had life in his mind, the first heartbeat that formed in his heart, was:  ‘I Love You, I Love You.’  He felt himself Loved, and he Loved.  I could say that his ‘I Love You’ never ended, it was so long that only then was it interrupted when he had the disgrace of falling into sin.  So Our Divinity felt wounded in hearing on the lips of man ‘I Love You, I Love You.’  It was the same Word that We had Created in the organ of his voice that said to Us:  ‘I Love You.’  It was Our Love, Created by Us in the creature, that said to Us:  ‘I Love You.’  How not to remain wounded?  How not to exchange him with a larger, stronger, Love, Worthy of Our Magnificence?  

“As We heard ‘I Love You’ said to Us, so We repeated to him ‘I Love you.’   But in Our ‘I Love you’ We let the Operating Life of Our Divine Will flow in his whole being.  In fact, We enclosed in man, as within one of Our Temples, Our Will, such that It was enclosed in the human circle, while It remained in Us so that It could work great things and It could be the thought, the word, the heartbeat, the step and the work of man.  Our ‘I Love you’ could not give anything more Holy, more Beautiful, more Powerful, that alone could form the Life of the Creator in the creature, than Our Will Operating in him.  And O! how pleasing it is to Us to see that Our Will has Its place of Actor.  And the human volition, dazzled by Its Light, enjoyed its Paradise.  And giving It full Liberty, it let It do what It wanted, giving It the Primacy in everything and the place of honor that is befitting to a Volition so Holy.  

“See, therefore, the beginning of the Life of Adam was an Act, with his whole being, full of Love toward God.  What a sublime Lesson—how the beginning of Love would run in the whole operation of the creature.  The First Lesson that he received from Our Supreme Being in exchange for his ‘I Love You,’ was that while We tenderly Loved him, responding to his ‘I Love You,’ We gave him the first Lesson on Our Divine Will.  And while We instructed him We communicated to him Its Life and the Infused Science of what Our Divine Fiat means.  And every time he said ‘I Love You’ to Us, Our Love prepared for him other more Beautiful Lessons about Our Volition.  He remained enraptured and We delighted Ourselves in conversing with him, and We made Perennial Rivers of Love and of Joys flow over him such that the human life became enclosed by Us in Love and in Our Will.  Therefore, My daughter, there is no greater Sorrow for Us, than seeing Our Love as broken in the creature, and Our Will obstructed, suffocated, without Its Operating Life, and as subordinate to the human volition.  So be attentive, and in all things have Love and My Divine Will for beginning.”

I was afflicted because of the privations of my sweet Jesus; and if He comes, while I breathe a little bit of life, I am left more afflicted in seeing Him more afflicted than I am. He does not want to hear about placating Himself, because creatures force Him, and snatch more scourges from Him. But while He scourges, He cries over the lot of man, and He hides deep inside my heart, almost not to see what man suffers. It seems that one can no longer live in these sad times; yet, it seems that this is only the beginning.

Then, as I was worried about my hard and sad lot of having to be so very often without Him, my sweet Jesus came, and throwing one arm around my neck, told me: “My daughter, do not increase My Pains by worrying – they are already too many. I do not expect this from you; on the contrary, I want you to make My Pains, My Prayers and all of Myself your own, in such a way that I may find in you another Me. In these times I want great satisfactions, and only one who makes Me his own can give them to Me. That which the Father found in Me – Glory, Delight, Love, Satisfactions whole and perfect, and for the good of all – I want to find in these souls, like as many other Jesuses that match Me. These intentions you must repeat in each Hour of the Passion that you do, in each action – in everything. If I do not find My Satisfactions – ah, it is over for the world! The scourges will pour down in torrents. Ah, My daughter! Ah, My daughter!” And He disappeared.

“…Here, then, is the reason why We constituted Her Queen of all; because when We operate, We do it with Reason, Wisdom and Justice:  She never gave life to Her human will, but Our Will was always intact in Her.  How could We say to another creature:  ‘You are Queen of the heavens, of the sun, of the stars, etc.’, if instead of having Our Will as Dominion, she were dominated by her human will?  All of the elements, the heavens, the sun, the earth, would have withdrawn from the regime and dominion of this creature.  All would have cried out in their mute language:  ‘We do not want her, we are superior to her, because we have never withdrawn from Your Eternal Volition — as You created us, so we are’.  So would the sun have cried out with its light, the stars with their glittering, the sea with its waves, and everything else.  On the contrary, as soon as they all felt the Dominion of this excelling Virgin who, almost as their sister, never wanted to know Her own will, but only that of God, not only did they make feast, but they felt honored to have their Queen, and they ran around Her to form Her cortege and to pay obsequies to Her – the moon, by placing itself as footstool at Her feet; the stars as crown, the sun as diadem, the Angels as servants, and men as though in waiting.  Everyone – everyone paid Her honor and rendered their obsequies to Her.  There is no honor and glory which cannot be given to Our Will - whether acting within Us, in Its own center, or dwelling in the creature.  

“But do you know what was the first act which this noble Queen did when, coming out of the maternal womb, She opened Her eyes to the light of this low world?  As She was born, the Angels sang lullabies to the Celestial Baby, and She remained enraptured; Her beautiful soul went out of Her little body, accompanied by angelic cohorts, and went around Heaven and earth, gathering all the Love that God had spread throughout the whole Creation; and penetrating into Heaven, She came to the foot of Our Throne, offered Us the return of the love of all Creation, and pronounced Her first ‘Thank You’ in the name of all.  Oh! how happy We felt in hearing the ‘Thank You’ of this Little Baby Queen.  And We confirmed in Her all Graces, all Gifts, such as to make Her surpass all other creatures together.  Then, throwing Herself into Our Arms, She delighted with Us, swimming in the sea of all Contentments, being embellished with New Beauty, with New Light and with New Love.  She pleaded once again for mankind, praying Us in tears to let the Eternal Word descend in order to save Her brothers.  But as She was doing this, Our Will let Her know that She should descend to the earth, and immediately She left Our Contentments and Joys, and departed, in order to do… what?  Our Will.  What powerful magnet Our Will was, dwelling on earth in this newborn Queen!  No longer did the earth appear alien to Us; We no longer felt like striking it, making use of Our Justice.  We had the Power of Our Will which, in this innocent child, blocked Our Arms, smiled at Us from the earth, and turned Justice into Graces and Sweet Smile; so much so, that unable to resist this Sweet Enchantment, the Eternal Word hastened His course.  Oh, Prodigy of My Divine Will! — to You everything is due, through You everything is accomplished, and there is no greater prodigy than My Will dwelling in the creature.”

As I was in my usual state, I found myself amid most thick darkness. In it there were thousands of people whom that darkness rendered blind, to the point that they themselves could not understand what they were doing. It seemed it was part of Italy and part of France. Oh, how many errors could be seen in France – worse than those of Italy! It seemed that they had lost their human reason, the primary endowment of man, which distinguishes him from the beasts. But he has become worse than the beasts themselves. Near this darkness one could see a lamp; I approached it and I found my loving Jesus, but so afflicted and indignant with those people that I trembled like a leaf, and I only said: “Lord, placate Yourself and let me suffer by pouring Your Indignation upon me.” And He told me: “How can I placate Myself if they want to exclude Me from them, as if they were not a work created by Me? Don’t you see how France has driven Me away from herself, considering herself honored in no longer recognizing Me? And how Italy wants to follow France, as there are some who would give their souls to the devil in order to win that point of forming the law of divorce — after they tried so many times and were left crushed and confused? Instead of placating Myself and pouring My Indignation upon you, I suspend you from the state of victim, because after My Justice has tried several times, using all of Its Power so as not to give that chastisement wanted by man himself – and in spite of this, he still wants it – it is necessary for Justice to suspend one who holds It back, and to let the chastisement fall.” And I: “Lord, if You wanted to suspend me for other chastisements, I would easily have accepted, because it is right that the creature conform to your Holy Will in everything; but to accept it for this evil most grave… my soul cannot digest this suspension. Rather, invest me with Your Power and allow me to go into the midst of those people who want this.” While saying this, I found myself with them; they seemed to be invested with diabolical forces, especially one of them, who seemed enraged. As though wanting to turn everything upside down, I spoke and spoke, but I could barely manage to cast a few glimmers of reason into him, making known to him the error they were committing. After this, I found myself inside myself, with sufferings extremely scarce.

… Another time He told me: “My daughter, I love the creature so much that if in creating the heavens, the stars, the sun and all nature I left no freedom to them — so that the heavens cannot add one star or remove one, nor can the sun dissolve or add one more drop of light — in creating man, I left him free. Even more, I wanted him together with me, creating the stars, the sun, in order to embellish the heaven of his soul. As he would do good and exercise himself in the virtues, I would give him the power to form his own stars and the brightest suns. The more good he would do, the more stars he would form; the greater the intensity of his love and sacrifice, the more splendor and light he would add to his suns. And I, spreading Myself in the heaven of his soul, would tell him: ‘My son, the more beautiful you want to become, the more you please Me. Even more, I love your beauty so much that I push you, I instruct you; and as soon as you make up your mind, I run and, together with you, I renew the Creative Power, giving you the power to do all the good that you want. I love you so much that I did not make you slave, but free. But, alas, how much abuse of this power that I have given you! You have the courage to convert it into your ruin and into offense to your Creator.’”

I was doing my meditation, and according to my usual way I was pouring all of myself in the Will of my sweet Jesus. In the meantime, I saw an engine before my mind, which contained innumerable fountains which spouted waves of water, of light, of fire; and rising up to Heaven, these would pour upon all creatures. There was no creature who was not inundated by these waves; the only difference was that for some they entered inside, while for others, only outside. And my always lovable Jesus told me; “My daughter, I am the engine, and My Love keeps the engine in motion, and pours over everyone. But for those who want to receive these waves, if they are empty and they love Me, they enter into them, while the others are just touched in order to be disposed to receive such a great good. As for the souls who do My Will and live in It, then, they are inside the engine itself, and since they live of Me, they can dispose of the waves that gush out for the good of others, and are now light that illuminates, now fire that ignites, now water that purifies. How beautiful it is to see these souls who live of My Will, coming out from within My engine like as many other little engines, diffusing themselves for the good of all! And then they return into the engine and disappear from the midst of creatures, as they live of Me, and Me alone!”

As I was very agitated, and with the fear that blessed Jesus no longer wanted me in this state, I felt an interior strength to go out of it, and this strength I felt within me was so great that, unable to contain it, I kept repeating:  ‘I feel tired, I cannot take any more.’  And in my interior I heard being said to me:  “I too feel tired, I can take no more, it is necessary that you remain completely suspended from the state of victim for a few days, so as to let them make the decision for wars; then I will make you fall again.  And then, when they do make the wars, we’ll see what should be done with you.”  I did not know what to do; obedience did not want it, and fighting with obedience is the same as surmounting a mountain that fills the earth and touches the heavens, and without a path on which to walk – therefore, insurmountable.  I don’t know whether this is foolishness, but I believe that it is easier to fight with God than with this terrible virtue.

So, agitated as I was, I found myself outside of myself in front of a Crucifix, and I said:  ‘Lord, I can take no more, my nature has failed me; I lack the necessary strength to be able to continue in this state of victim.  If You want me to continue, give me the strength, otherwise I quit.’  While I was saying this, a fountain of Blood gushed out from that Crucifix, toward Heaven, and falling back over the earth it converted into fire.  Several virgins were saying:  “For France, Italy, Austria and England…” - and they were mentioning other nations, but I did not understand well – “Most grave wars are prepared, civil and governmental.…”  On hearing this, I became all frightened, and I found myself inside myself.  I myself could not decide what I should follow – whether the interior strength that pushed me to go out [of the state of victim], or the strength of obedience that pushed me to stay.  Both of them were strong and powerful over my weak and poor being.  So far, it seems that obedience prevails, though with difficulty, and I don’t know where I will end up.

Since blessed Jesus was not coming, I felt such bitterness…; not only this, but a sort of hitch within my interior, such as to make me almost restless. Oh, God, what pain! All other pains compared to this are nothing but shadows, or rather, refreshment. Your privation alone can be given the name of pain.

Now, while I was fidgeting, He came out, in passing, from within my interior, and He said to me: “What is the matter with you? Calm yourself, calm yourself; here I am — not only with you, but in you. And then, I do not want this restless heart. Everything in you must be sweetness and peace, in such a way that it may be said of you that which is said about Me: that nothing but milk and honey flows within Me, symbolizing sweetness with honey, and peace with milk. I am so filled and soaked with them, that they pour out from My Eyes, from My Mouth, and from all of My Works. And if you are not likewise, I feel dishonored by you, because, while the One who is all peace and sweetness dwells within you, you do not honor Me by showing even the slightest shadow of a resentful and restless heart. I love this sweetness and peace so much, that even if it were about something great concerning My Honor and Glory, I do not want, I never approve, resentful, violent, fiery manners, but rather, sweet and peaceful manners. In fact, sweetness alone is that which binds hearts like a chain, in such a way that they cannot unbind themselves. It is like pitch that sticks to them and they cannot free themselves, and are forced to say: ‘In this soul there is the finger of God, for we cannot act otherwise.’ And then, if I do not like a resentful manner, not even creatures will like it. If one speaks about or deals with things, even of God, with manners that are not sweet and peaceful, it is a sign that he does not have his passions in order; and one who does not keep himself in order, cannot order others. Therefore, be careful with anything which is not sweetness and peace, if you do not want to dishonor Me”

… After this, I remained in silence, and He added:  “Today I take pleasure in spending time with you.  Tell Me something.”  And I:  “You know that all my contentment is in being with You, and in having You, I have everything.  So, in possessing You, it seems I have nothing else to desire, or to say.”  And Jesus:  “Let Me hear your voice that cheers My Hearing.  Let us converse together a little; I have spoken to you many times about the Cross; today, let Me hear you speak of the Cross.”

I felt all confused; I did not know what to say.  But as He sent me a ray of intellectual light, to make Him content I began to say:  ‘My Beloved, who can say to You what the Cross is?  Your mouth alone can speak worthily of the sublimity of the Cross; but since You want me to speak, I will do it.

"The Cross, suffered by You, freed me from the slavery of the devil, and espoused me to the Divinity with an indissoluble Bond.  The Cross is fecund and gives birth to Grace in me.  The Cross is Light, It disillusions me of what is temporal, and reveals to me what is Eternal.  The Cross is fire, and reduces to ashes all that is not of God, to the point of emptying my heart of the tiniest blade of grass that might be in it.  The Cross is Coin of inestimable Value, and if I have, O Holy Spouse, the fortune of possessing it, I will be enriched with Eternal Coins, to the point of becoming the richest in Paradise, because the currency that circulates in Heaven is the Cross suffered on earth.  The Cross, then, makes me know myself; not only this, but It gives me the knowledge of God.  The Cross grafts all virtues into me.  The Cross is the noble pulpit of the Uncreated Wisdom, that teaches me the highest, the finest and most sublime Doctrines.  So, only the Cross will reveal to me the most hidden Mysteries, the most secret Things, the most perfect Perfection, hidden to the most erudite and learned of the world.  The Cross is like beneficent water that purifies me; not only this, but It administers to me the nourishment for the virtues, It makes them grow, and only then does It leave me, when It brings me back to Eternal Life.  The Cross is like Celestial Dew, which preserves and embellishes for me the beautiful lily of purity.  The Cross is the nourishment of Hope.  The Cross is the beacon of operating Faith.  The Cross is like hard wood, which preserves the fire of Charity, keeping it always lit.  The Cross is like dry wood, which dispels and puts to flight all the smokes of pride and of vainglory, producing the humble violet of humility in the soul.  The Cross is the most powerful Weapon that offends the demons, and defends me from all of their claws.  Therefore, the soul who possesses the Cross is the envy and admiration of the very Angels and Saints, and the rage and indignation of the demons.  The Cross is my Paradise on earth, in such a way that if the Paradise of the Blessed up there, is of delights, the Paradise down here is of sufferings.  The Cross is the chain of most pure gold that connects me to You, my Highest Good, and forms the most intimate union which can possibly be given, to the point of making my being disappear. And It transforms me in You, my Beloved, to the point that I feel lost within You, and I live from your very Life.”

After I said this (I don’t know whether it is nonsense), my lovable Jesus was all delighted in listening to me, and taken by enthusiasm of love, kissed me all over, and said to me:  “Brava, brava, my beloved — you spoke well!  My Love is Fire, but not like the terrestrial fire which, wherever it penetrates, renders things sterile and reduces everything to ashes.  My fire is fecund, and it renders sterile only that which is not virtue.  To all the rest it gives life, it makes beautiful flowers bloom, it makes the most delicious fruits mature, and forms the most delightful celestial garden.  The Cross is so Powerful, and I communicated so much Grace to It, as to render It more effective than the very Sacraments; and this, because in receiving the Sacrament of My Body, the dispositions and free concourse of the soul are needed in order to receive My Graces, and many times these may be lacking; while the Cross has the virtue of disposing the soul to Grace.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - December 1, 1922 Volume 15

I was thinking about the Passion of my sweet Jesus, and I felt those pains so close to me, as if He were suffering them at that very moment; and looking at me, He told me:  “My daughter, I suffered all pains in My Will, and as I suffered them, they opened many ways in My Will to reach each creature.  Had I not suffered in My Will, which envelops everything, My Pains would not have reached you and everyone; they would have remained with My Humanity.  Even more, because I suffered them in My Will, not only did they open many ways in order to reach creatures, but they opened as many other ways in order to let creatures enter into Me, unite themselves with those Pains, and give Me, each one of them, the pains which, with their offenses, they would give Me throughout the course of all centuries.  And while I was under the storm of the blows, My Will brought Me each creature to strike Me.  So, it was not just the ones who scourged Me, but the creatures from all times would concur in My barbarous scourging with their offenses.  The same with all other pains:  My Will brought Me everyone; no one was absent from roll call, everyone was present to Me — no one escaped Me.  This is why My pains were – oh! how much harder, how much more numerous than those which could be seen.  Therefore, if you want your offerings of My Pains, your compassion and reparation, your little pains not only to reach Me, but to follow the same ways as Mine, let everything enter into My Will, and all generations will receive their effects.  

"And this, not only with My Pains, but also with My Words, because, being spoken in My Will, they reached everyone; as for example, when Pilate asked Me whether I was King, and I answered:  ‘My Kingdom is not of this world, for if It were of this world, millions of legions of Angels would defend Me’.  And Pilate, on seeing Me so poor, humiliated, despised, was surprised, and said with greater emphasis:  ‘What? You are a King?’  And I, with firmness, answered him and all those who are in his position:  ‘I am King, and I have come into the world to teach the Truth.  And the Truth is that it is not positions, nor kingdoms, nor dignities, nor the right of command that make man reign, that ennoble him, that raise him above all.  On the contrary, these things are slaveries, miseries, which make him serve vile passions and unjust men, making him also commit many unjust acts which disennoble him, cast him into mud, and draw the hatred of his subordinates upon him.  So, riches are slaveries, positions are swords, by which many are killed or wounded.  True Reigning is virtue, to be stripped of everything, to sacrifice oneself for all, to submit oneself to all.  This is True Reigning, which binds all, and makes one loved by all.  Therefore, My Kingdom will have no end, while yours is near to perishing.’  And, in My Will, I made these words reach the ear of all those who are in positions of authority, to let them know the great danger they are in, and to put on guard those who aspire to positions, to dignities, to command.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 30, 1929 Volume 27

I was beginning my round in the Divine Will according to my usual way, and wanting to reorder all created intelligences in order with God, from the first to the last man that will come to earth, I was saying:  “I place my ‘I love You’ upon each thought of creature, so that, in each thought, I may ask for the dominion of the Divine Fiat over each intelligence.”  

But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “How can I arrive at pearling each thought of creature with my ‘I love You’?”

And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, with My Will you can do anything, and can reach anything.  Now, you must know that, before sinning, in each thought he made, in each gaze, word, work, step, heartbeat, man gave his act to God, and God gave His Continuous Act to man.  So, his condition was of always giving to his Creator, and of always receiving.  There was such harmony between Creator and creature that, on both sides, they could not be without one giving and the other receiving, to then give act again, be it even a thought, a gaze.  Therefore, each thought of man looked for God, and God ran to fill his thought with Grace, with Sanctity, with Light, with Life, with Divine Will.  It can be said that the littlest act of man loved and recognized He who had given him life, and God loved him back by requiting him with His Love, and by making His Divine Life grow in each act of man, little and great.  He was incapable of receiving the Divine Life all at once—he was too narrow, and God gave It to him sip by sip, in each act he did for love of Him, taking delight in giving him always, to form His Divine Life in him.  

“Therefore, each thought and act of man poured into God, and God poured into him.  This was the true order of Creation:  to find in man, in each of his acts, his Creator, so that He might be able to give him His Light and what He had established to give him.  Our Divine Will, present in Us and in him, made Itself the Bearer of one and of the other, and forming the full day in him, It placed in common the goods of both.  How happy was the condition of man when Our Divine Fiat reigned in him.  It can be said that he was growing on Our Paternal Knees, attached to Our Breast, from which he drew growth and his formation.  

“This is why I want that, in My Divine Volition, each thought of creature have your ‘I love You’—to call back the order between Creator and creature.  In fact, you must know that, by sinning, man not only rejected Our Fiat, but broke the love toward He who had loved him so much; he put himself at a distance from his Creator, and a far away love cannot form life, because true love feels the need to be nourished by the love of the beloved, and to remain so close as to be impossible for them to separate.  

“So, the life of the love created by Us in creating man remained without nourishment and almost dying; more so, since every human act he did without Our Divine Will was as many nights that he formed in his soul:  if he thought, it was night that he formed; if he looked, spoke, and so forth—everything was darkness, that formed a dark night.  Without My Fiat there can be neither day nor sun; at the most, a few tiny little flames, that can hardly guide his step.  Oh! if they knew what it means to live without My Divine Will, even if they were not evil and did some good.  The human will is always night for the soul that oppresses her, embitters her, and makes her feel the weight of life.  

“Therefore, be attentive, and let nothing escape you that does not enter into My Divine Fiat, that will make you feel the full day that will give you back the Order of Creation.  It will call back the Harmony, that will place in force the continuous giving of your acts and the continuous receiving of your Creator; and embracing the whole human family, you will be able to impetrate that the Order of the Way in which they were created may come back, that the night of the human will may cease, and the full day of My Divine Will may arise.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 29, 1904 Volume 6

This morning I was offering all the actions of the Humanity of Our Lord to repair for so many of our human actions, either carelessly done, without a supernatural purpose, or sinful, in order to impetrate that all creatures might do their actions with the intentions of the actions of blessed Jesus and in union with them, and to fill the void of glory that the creature would give God if she did so.  While I was doing this, my adorable Jesus told me:  “My daughter, My Divinity in My Humanity descended into the deepest abyss of all human humiliations; so much so, that there was no human act, as lowly and little as it might be, which I did not Divinize and Sanctify.  And this, in order to give back to man doubled sovereignty – the one he lost in Creation, and the one I acquired for him in Redemption.  But man, always ungrateful and the enemy of himself, loves to be a slave rather than a sovereign.  With a means so easy – that is, with the intentions of his actions [united] to Mine – he could render his actions deserving of Divine Merit, but he wastes them and loses the device of king and the sovereignty over himself.”  Having said this, He disappeared, and I found myself inside myself.

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 28, 1910 Volume 10

Finding myself in my usual state, I saw my always lovable Jesus. In my interior I felt myself all transformed in the love of my beloved Jesus; now I would find myself inside of Jesus - bursting into acts of love together with Jesus, loving as Jesus loved… but I am unable to say it, I lack the words; and now I would find my sweet Jesus in me, and I alone would burst into acts of love, while Jesus would listen to me, telling me: “Say it, say it — repeat it again; relieve Me with your love. Lack of love has cast the world into a net of vices.” And He would remain silent in order to listen to Me, and I would repeat again the acts of love. 

I will say the little I remember:

In every moment, in every hour,
I want to love You 
with all my heart.

In every breath of my life,
while breathing, I will love You.

In every beat of my heart,
Love, love, I will repeat.

In every drop of my blood,
Love, love, I will cry out.

In every movement of my body,
Love alone I will embrace.

Of love alone I want to speak,
at love alone I want to look,
to love alone I want to listen,
always of love I want to think.

With love alone I want to burn,
with love alone 
I want to be consumed,
only love I want to enjoy,
only love I want to content.

From love alone I want to live,
And within love I want to die.
In every instant, in every hour,
I want to call everyone to love.

Only and always together with Jesus
and in Jesus I shall live,
into His Heart I will plunge myself, 
and together with Jesus, 
and with His Heart,
Love, Love, I will love You.

But who can say them all? In doing this, I felt myself divided into many little flames, which then became one single flame.

Divine Will for every day of the year - November 27, 1932 Volume 31

… So my mind was crowded with so many things that regarded the Divine Will, that if I wanted to write everything, I do not know where I would go to get the paper; therefore I limit myself for as much as I can.  And since some doubt crept into my mind, my Celestial Teacher Jesus, visiting His little Newborn, told me:  “Blessed daughter, one act then has more value when the good that there is inside is known.  And however more is known, so much more one acquires, because the creature does that act on the basis of the value that he knows, and Our Paternal Goodness does not know how to deceive or trick anyone.  

“If We make known what is the value in that act, it is because We want to give the value that We manifested.  And the certain sign is the Knowledge itself, that it already possesses that value by itself.  We act like a king who takes a paper that has no value, and places there one hundred, there one thousand, there one million.  The paper is the same quality, the same form, but according to the number, so is the value it possesses.  Therefore what gives value to the paper, is the number and image of the king, who uses it as money for the kingdom.  

“Now We do the same thing:  the paper is the act of the creature, the Knowledge is Our Divine Image, and the Value is the number that We place.  Therefore, what is the wonder if We say that one single Act in Our Will exceeds in Value all the acts together done outside of It by all other creatures?  It is Our Image that coins Itself as on paper in the human act, and the Value of Our Knowledge that places the number.  Are We not owners who can place the number that We want on the paper of the human volition?  If the king is owner of placing the number that he wants on a most vile paper, even more are We in order to form the money that must flow in Our azure Fatherland.

“Beyond this, Our Will was a Gratuitous Gift We gave to man; he paid Us nothing in order to have It, nor did he have money or sufficient means to pay Us, except the most vile paper of his human will that, to his misfortune, he didn’t even want to lend in order to have Our Great Gift.  And then, We were His most Tender and most Loving Father, and between father and children accounts are not kept, because one knows that the father must give to the children, and they are obligated by the duty of justice to love and hold in esteem what the father gives them.  

“Here, therefore, the necessity for the Knowledges about the Divine Will, and We make them degree by degree so that the creature appreciates this Gift so Great, that We want to Gratuitously give her.  Knowledge generates the appetite, the desire to know more, and the human volition disposes itself, little by little, to undergo the Transformation, the Unification of the Divine Will.  And We, without making accounts, nor paying attention to whether she can pay Us or not, place Our Image and an incalculable number of a Divine Value.  And We are content to see Our children rich and happy, with Our same Divine Happiness and Riches.” …

I was feeling very afflicted because of the continuous privations of my sweet Jesus; I felt everything missing in me without Him.  With Jesus everything is mine, everything belongs to me, it seems to me that I am in the house of Jesus, and He, sweetly, with an admirable gentleness, says to me:  “All that is Mine is yours.  Even more, I do not want you to say to Me:  ‘Your heavens, Your sun, Your many created things’, but you must say to Me:  ‘Our heavens, our sun, our Creation.’  In fact, in My Divine Will you were creating with Me, and continuing your life in It, you offered yourself together with Me in preserving It.  

“Therefore, My daughter, everything is ours—everything is ours, and if you do not consider what is Mine as fully your own, you place yourself at due distance, and you show that you are not one from the Celestial Family, and that you do not live in the House of your Divine Father, and you would break the familiar bond with your Jesus.”  

So, without Him I feel myself put out of His Family, out of His House, and—oh! what a dismal and sorrowful change I feel in my poor soul.  I feel I am without He who alone can give me life, I experience the true abandonment and what it means to be without Jesus.  Oh! how the exile weighs upon me, and I feel, vividly, the extreme need of my Celestial Fatherland.

But while many oppressing thoughts crowded my mind, wounding my little and poor soul and reducing it as if it were in extreme agony, my dear Life, my sweet Jesus, rose like Sun; the oppressing thoughts fled, and with a sweet tone He told me:  “My daughter, courage, do not lose heart too much; don’t you know that you must cover your way in My Divine Will?  And this way is long, and these oppressions of yours, these thoughts that crowd within you, are stops that you make; and even though you do not go out of It, yet the journey you should make is somehow arrested, and your Jesus does not want this moving back—He wants you to walk always, without ever stopping.  

“In fact, you must know that each step you take in My Divine Will is a Divine Life that you enclose; so, one step less is one Divine Life that is not formed; and you deprive Our Supreme Being of the Glory, of the Love, of the Happiness and Satisfaction that another same Life of Ours can give Us; and if you knew what it means to give Us the Glory, the Love, the Happiness of Our very Life!  …”

… Jesus took my hands in His hands, and it seemed that He was soothing my pains; then He showed me two high stairways, from earth up to Heaven. On one of them there were more people — very few on the other one. The one on which there were only few people was of solid gold, and it seemed that those few who were going up were other Jesuses - each one of them was one Jesus. On the other one, which seemed to be made of wood, there were more people, and they could be distinguished and identified - almost all short and not very developed. 

Jesus told me: “My daughter, those who lived their lives in My Life ascend on the golden stairs; I can say that they are My Feet, My Hands, My Heart — the whole of Myself. Just as you can see that they are another Me, they are everything to Me, and I am their life. Their actions are all of gold and of incalculable price, because they are Divine. Nobody will ever be able to reach their height because they are My very Life; almost without anyone knowing them, because they are hidden within Me. Only in Heaven will they be perfectly known. 

“On the wooden stairs there are more souls; these are the souls who walk along the way of the virtues, but not in union with My Life and with the continuous connection of My Will. Their actions are of wood, (since only the union with Me forms golden actions), therefore their price is minimal. These souls are short, almost scrawny, because many human purposes are mixed in with their good actions, and human purposes do not produce growth. They are known to everyone, because they are not hidden within Me, but within themselves; therefore, nobody covers them. They will not cause any surprise for Heaven, since they were known also on earth. 

“Therefore, My daughter, I want you completely in My Life, with nothing in yours, and I entrust to you the ones you know and see, that they may keep themselves strong and constant on the stairway of My Life.” He pointed to me someone whom I know, and disappeared. May all be for His Glory.

[Jesus speaking] “… But man wanted to do his will and broke it from the Divine… If only he had never done that! My Will withdrew, and he fell into the abyss of all evils. 

"Now, in order to rejoin these two wills, One was needed Who would contain a Divine Will within Himself. Therefore, since I, Eternal Word, loved this man with an Eternal Love, We decreed among Our Divine Persons, that I was to take on human flesh in order to save him, and rejoin the two broken wills.

“But where to descend? Who was to be the One to provide her own flesh for her Creator? This is why We chose a Creature, who, by virtue of the foreseen Merits of the future Redeemer, was exempted from original sin: her will and Ours were one. It was this Celestial Creature that understood the story of Our Will. We narrated everything to Her, as to a little one: the Sorrow of Our Will, and how ungrateful man, by breaking his will from Ours, had constrained Our Will within the Divine Sphere, almost hampering It in Its Designs, preventing It from communicating to him Its Goods and the Purpose for which he had been created. 

“For Us, to give is to make Ourselves Happy, and to make happy the one who receives from Us; it is to enrich without being impoverished; it is to give what We are by nature, forming it within the creature by Grace; it is to go out of Ourselves to give what We possess… In giving, Our Love pours Itself out, and Our Will makes feast. If We were not to give, why would We form the Creation? Therefore, just being unable to give to Our children, to Our dear images, was like a mourning for Our Supreme Will. Just in seeing man work, speak, walk, without the connection of Our Will, because it had been broken by him, and that currents of Graces, of Sanctity, of Science, etc. would have run to him, had he been with Us, but could not – Our Will took the attitude of Sorrow. Every act of creature was a sorrow for Us, because We saw that act empty of Divine Value, deprived of Beauty and of Sanctity – completely dissimilar from Our Acts.

“Oh, how the Celestial Little One understood this great sorrow of Ours, and the great evil of man in withdrawing from Our Will! Oh, how many times She cried hot tears for Our Sorrow, and for the great misfortune of man! Therefore, fearful, She did not want to concede to her own will even one act. This is why She remained little: because her will had no life in her – so how could she grow? But that which she did not do, Our Will did: It raised Her all beautiful, holy, divine; It enriched Her so much as to make Her the greatest of all creatures. She was a Prodigy of Our Will – a Prodigy of Grace, of Beauty, of Sanctity. But She always remained little; so much so, that She never came down from Our Arms. She took on Our defense; She repaid all the Sorrowful Acts of the Supreme Will. Not only was She completely in order with Our Will, but She made all the acts of the creatures Her own; and absorbing into Herself all of Our Will rejected by them, She repaired It, loved It, and keeping It as though deposited in her Virginal Heart, She prepared the food of Our Will for all creatures.

“Do you see, then, with what Food this most loving Mother nourishes Her children? It cost Her all Her life, unspeakable pains, and the very Life of her Son, to prepare within Her the abundant deposit of this Food of My Will, and to keep It ready to nourish all her children as a tender and loving Mother. She could not love Her children more; by giving them this Food, Her love reached the ultimate degree. Therefore, among the many titles that She has, the most beautiful title that could be given to Her is that of “Mother and Queen of the Divine Will.”

… After this, having followed my round in the Divine Fiat, I was gathering all created things, in which all the Acts of the Divine Fiat are present, dominating; and I, gathering everything together—the heavens, the sun, the sea and all Creation—brought everything together before the Supreme Majesty, to surround It with all of Its Works, and have the Acts of Its very Will ask for the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat upon earth.  

But while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and told me:  “My daughter, hear how all of Heaven echoes your petition, and the Angels, the Saints, the Sovereign Queen repeat among themselves:  ‘Fiat! Fiat! Voluntas Tua, on earth as It is in Heaven.’  Because it is petition of Heaven—it is the Kingdom that interests everyone—they all feel the duty to ask for what you want; they feel within themselves the same Strength of the Power of My same Divine Will by which all of them are animated.  And they repeat:  ‘May the Will of Heaven be one with the earth.’  

“Oh! how beautiful it is—how harmoniously it resounds when an echo from the earth invests all of Heaven and forms one single echo, one single Will, one single petition.  And all the Blessed say among themselves, taken by admiration:  ‘Who is she who is carrying the whole cortege of the Divine Works before the Divinity, and with the Power of the Divine Fiat that she possesses, she overwhelms us all, and makes us ask for a Kingdom so holy?  No one has had this Power, no one until now has asked for the Kingdom of the Fiat with such power and empire.  At the most, some have asked for the glory of God, some for the salvation of souls, some for the reparation of many offenses—all things that refer to the External Works of God.  But asking for the Kingdom of the Divine Will is about His Internal Works, the most intimate Acts of God, and the destruction of sin.  It is not just salvation, but Divine Sanctity in the creatures; it is liberation from all evils, spiritual and corporal; it is transporting the earth to Heaven so as to make Heaven descend upon earth.’  

“Therefore, asking for the Kingdom of My Divine Will is the greatest, the most perfect, the holiest thing; and this is why, reverently, all answer your echo, and in the Celestial Fatherland resounds the beautiful harmony:  ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.’”

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, trying, as much as is possible for me, to embrace everything in my little lap, in order to place my little I love You, my thank You, my adoration, my I bless You, upon all created things, with the Power of the Supreme Fiat, so as to keep company with this Supreme Will, which is spread in the Creation with so much Love.  But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “What does the soul receive by living in this celestial atmosphere of the Supreme Will?”  At that moment, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and clasping me all to Himself, told me:  “My daughter, do you want to know what the soul receives by living in My Will?  She receives the Union of the Supreme Will with hers, and in this Union My Will takes on the task of giving the parity with Itself to the will of the soul.  So, My Will is Holy, is Pure, is Light, and It wants to make the soul equal to Itself in holiness, purity and light; and if the task of the soul is to live in My Will, the task of Mine is to give My Likeness to the human will in a perfect way.  And this is why I want you always in It – so that It may not only keep you in Its Company, but It may make you grow in Its Likeness.  And this is why I feed you the food of Its Knowledges – to make you grow in a Divine Manner and with Its Perfect Likeness.  And it is for this reason that My Will wants you always with Itself, wherever It operates – that It may give you the Act of Its Operating, the Value which the operating of a Divine Will contains; and you may receive it.” …

I was feeling all afflicted because of the sudden death of one of my sisters.  The fear that my lovable Jesus might not have her with Himself tormented my soul; and as my highest Good, Jesus, came, I told Him of my pain, and He, all goodness, said to me:  “My daughter, do not fear, is there perhaps not My Will that makes up for everything, for the very Sacraments and for all the helps that can be given to a poor dying one?  Much more so, when there is not the will of the person of not wanting to receive the Sacraments and all the helps of the Church that, like mother, She gives at that extreme moment.  

“You know, in kidnapping her suddenly from the earth, My Will made Me surround her with the Tenderness of My Humanity.  My Heart, human and Divine, placed My most tender fibers into the field of action, in such a way that her defects, her weaknesses, her passions, have been looked upon and weighed with such finesse of Tenderness—Infinite and Divine.  And when I place My Tenderness into the field, I cannot help having compassion and letting her pass into a safe harbor, as triumph of the Tenderness of your Jesus.  And besides, don’t you know that where human helps are lacking, Divine helps abound?  

“You fear that there was no one around her, and that if she wanted help, she had no one from whom to ask for it.  Ah! My daughter, in that moment the human helps cease; they have neither value nor effect, because the dying enter into the sole and Prime Act with their Creator, and to no one is it given to enter this Prime Act.  And then, for one who is not perverted, a sudden death serves in order to prevent the diabolical action from entering the field—his temptations, and the fears that, with so much art, he strikes into the dying, because he feels them being snatched from him, without being able to tempt them or follow them.  Therefore, what by men is believed to be disgrace, many times is more than grace.” …
