… But while I was pouring out my sorrow, my sweet Jesus came back, and embracing my poor soul, told me: “Daughter, I am here, abandon yourself in My Arms, and rest in Me. Your abandonment in Me calls for My Abandonment in you, and forms My Sweet Rest in your soul. Abandonment in Me forms the Sweet and Powerful Chain that binds Me so much to the soul, that I cannot unbind Myself from her, to the point of rendering Me her dear and sweet Prisoner. Abandonment in Me gives birth to True Trust, and she has trust in Me, and I have Trust in her; I have Trust in her love that will never fail; I have Trust in her sacrifices, for she will never refuse Me anything of what I want; and I have all the Trust that I can accomplish My Designs. Abandonment in Me says that she gives Me freedom, and I am free to do what I want; and I, entrusting Myself to her, manifest to her My most Intimate Secrets. Therefore, My daughter, I want you all abandoned in My Arms, and the more abandoned you are in Me, the more you will feel My abandonment in you.” …

Continuing in my usual state, after I struggled very much, He came. As soon as I saw Him, I said: “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.’” And blessed Jesus added: “The Verbum took flesh, but did not remain flesh — He remained as He was; and just as ‘verbum’ means ‘word’ and there is nothing that has more influence than the word, ‘The Word’ means Manifestation, Communication, Divine Union with the human. So, if the Word had not taken flesh, there would have been no other means to be able to unite God and man.” Having said this, He disappeared.

My always lovable Jesus continues to speak to me about His Most Holy Will. He seems to me like a True Teacher who, while it appears that he has nothing else to teach to his disciple, in reality he is just taking some rest, to be able to enter the field again and give more Sublime Lessons, such as to capture the attention of the boy and win his love and veneration. So, on coming, He told me: “My daughter, how many prodigies does My Supreme Volition Operating in the creature contain! As the soul lets this Holy Will enter into her, and herself into It, and allows It to Operate in everything, even in the most tiny things, a current is established between the Will Operating within the Divine Persons and Their own Will operating in the creature. Therefore, if They Love or want to give Love, They find a place in which to put this Love, because in one point of the earth there is Their own Will Operating in the creature which can receive this Love. And rising up into the Womb of the Divinity, this Will of Theirs — which is as though divided in two, in the creature and in the Divinity, while It is always one — will bring Them the return of Their Love in a Divine Manner on the part of the creature. And so the Eternal Love places Itself in current between Heaven and earth, descending and ascending with no obstruction, because there is one who can receive Its Deposit. Their own Will operating in the creature will be jealous in holding It in safekeeping.
"In the same way, if My Divinity wants to release Its Beauty, Its Truths, Its Power, Its Infinite Graces, It has a place in which to deposit them: Its own Will operating in the creature. The current is open: My Will will maintain the pace in jealously keeping My Beauty, My Truths, My Power, and in giving Me thanks for My Infinite Graces. So I will no longer be defrauded in anything; I will be in Perfect Harmony between My Will Operating in the creature and That of Heaven. How many of My Things will I make known more! My suffocated Love will be free when I form My Deposit, and the currents between Heaven and earth will always be open.”

This morning, after I received blessed Jesus, I was saying to Him: “My life, Jesus, tell me: what was the first act that You did when You received Yourself sacramentally?” And Jesus: “My daughter, the first act I did was to multiply My Life into many Lives, for as many creatures as can exist in the world, so that each one of them might have one Life of Mine only for herself; a Life that Continuously Prays, Thanks, Satisfies, Loves only for her. In the same way, I multiplied My Pains for each soul, as if I were suffering only for her, and not for others. In that supreme moment of receiving Myself, I gave Myself to all, to suffer My Passion in each heart, to be able to conquer the hearts by dint of Pains and of Love. In giving all My Divinity, I came to take the Dominion of all. But, alas! My Love remained disappointed by many; and I anxiously await loving hearts which, in receiving Me, would unite with Me to multiply themselves in everyone, desiring and wanting what I want, so that I may take at least from them what the others do not give to Me, and receive the contentment of having them as conformed to My Desire and to My Will. Therefore, My daughter, when you receive Me, do what I did, and I will receive the contentment that at least the two of us want the same thing.” …

… So, here is Lady Obedience made satisfied now, after she had begun to frown at me, and to send out laments and reprimands. It seems that this blessed young lady in no way wants to adapt herself to the human reason. She does not want to get involved in any circumstance; on the contrary, it seems that she has no reason at all, and it is quite a pain in the neck having to deal with someone who does not have reason. In order to get along a little, it is necessary to lose one’s own reason, because the young lady keeps boasting: “I have no human reason, therefore I do not know how to adapt myself to the human way. My reason is Divine, and for one who wants to live in peace with Me, it is absolutely necessary that she lose hers in order to acquire mine.” This is how well this young lady reasons. What can one say? It is better to keep silent, because, in one way or another, she always wants to be right, and she glories in giving you all the wrong.

I was thinking about the Passion of my sweet Jesus, and upon coming, He told me: “My daughter, every time the soul thinks about My Passion, remembers what I suffered, or compassionates Me, she renews within herself the application of My Pains. My Blood rises to inundate her, and My Wounds place themselves on the path to heal her if she is wounded, or to embellish her if she is healthy — as well as My Merits, to enrich her. The commerce she produces is amazing; it is as if she placed on a counter everything I did and suffered, earning twice as much. In fact, everything I did and suffered is in Continuous Act of giving itself to man, just as the Sun is in continuous act of giving light and heat to the earth. My Work is not subject to exhaustion; if the soul just wants it so, and as many times as she wants, she receives the Fruit of My Life. So, if she remembers My Passion twenty, a hundred, a thousand times, so many more times will she enjoy Its Effects. But how few are those who make a Treasure of it! With all the good of My Passion, one can see souls who are weak, blind, deaf, mute, crippled — living cadavers, such as to be disgusting. This, because My Passion is put into oblivion.
"My pains, My Wounds, my Blood are Strength which removes weaknesses, Light which gives sight to the blind, Tongue which loosens the tongues and opens the hearing, Way which straightens the crippled, Life which raises the dead... All the Remedies needed for the whole humanity are in My Life and Passion. But the creature despises the Medicine and does not care about the Remedies; and so one can see, in spite of all My Redemption, the state of man perishing, as though affected by an incurable consumption. But that which saddens Me the most is to see religious people who tire themselves out in order to acquire doctrines, speculations, stories; but about My Passion - nothing. So, many times My Passion is banished from churches, from the mouth of Priests; therefore, their speech is without Light, and the peoples remain more starved than before.” …

… Then He [Jesus] added: “My daughter, I love the creature so much, that I Myself have placed Myself as Sentry of each heart to watch them, to defend them and to work their sanctification with My own Hands. But to how many bitternesses do they not subject Me? Some reject Me, some do not care about Me and despise Me, some lament about My Surveillance, some slam the door in my face, rendering My Work useless. And I not only placed Myself to act as Sentry, but on purpose do I choose the souls who live of My Will. In fact, since they are present in all of Me, I place them with Me as a second sentry of each heart. These second sentries console Me, repay Me for them, and keep Me company in the loneliness into which many hearts force Me; and they force Me not to leave them. Greater Grace I could not give to creatures, by giving them these souls who live of My Will, who are the portent of portents.”

[Jesus speaking]
“… See, in My Supreme Will are all My Interior Acts, which My Humanity did, as though in waiting to come out as messengers, to put themselves on the way. These Acts were done for the creatures and want to give themselves and make themselves known; and since they cannot give themselves, they feel as though imprisoned, and they pray – they implore My Will to make them known, so as to be able to give the good which they contain.
“I find Myself in the condition of a poor mother, who has held her birth inside her womb for a long time, and as the time comes to deliver, if she does not, she agonizes, she anguishes; and forgetful of her life, at any cost she wants to give birth. The hours, the days of delay seem like years and centuries to her. She has done and disposed everything; there is nothing left but to deliver it.
“So am I — more than a mother. For many centuries I have held within Me, more than a birth, all my human acts done in the Sanctity of the Eternal Volition in order to give them to the creature. And when they give themselves, they will raise the human acts of the creature to Divine Acts, and will adorn her with the most beautiful beauties, making her live with the Life of my Will; giving her the value, the effects and the goods which my Will possesses. Therefore, more than mother, I agonize, I anguish, I burn with desire to deliver this birth from My Will. The time has come; there is nothing left but to find one who would receive the first birth, so as to continue with other births in other creatures. This is why I tell you — be attentive; enlarge your heart to be able to receive all the Value, the Effects, the Knowledge which My Will contains, so that I may place the first birth in you. How much joy will you give Me! You will be the beginning of My Happiness upon earth. I could say that the human will rendered Me unhappy in the midst of creatures; and My Will Operating in the creature will restore My Happiness.”

… Then, I continued my acts in the Divine Volition, with my usual refrain: “I love You, I love You in everything that You have done for love of Us.” But while I was doing this, I thought to myself: “Blessed Jesus must be tired of my singsong ‘I love You, I love You.’ So, why say it?”
And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, true love, accompanied also by the words ‘I love You,’ never brings Me tiredness, because, I being a complex of love and a continuous act of love, as I never cease to Love, when I find My Love in the creature, I find Myself; and the sign that her love is a birth from My Love is when it is continuous. An interrupted love is not the sign of Divine Love; at the most, it can be a love of circumstances, an interested love, such that, as these cease, love ceases. And also the words ‘I love You, I love You,’ are nothing other than the air that My Love produces in the creature, that, condensed within her, produces as though many flashes of little flames toward Him whom she loves. And I, when I hear you say ‘I love You, I love You’—do you know what I say? ‘My daughter is flashing in the air of her love toward Me, and one flash does not wait for another.’
“And besides, all continuous acts are those that have the virtue of preserving, nourishing and growing the life of creatures. See, also the sun rises every morning and has its continuous act of light; nor can it be said that by rising every day it tires men and the earth; rather, the complete opposite—all long for the rising of the sun, and only because it rises every day does it form the nourishment of the earth. Day after day, it keeps nourishing, little by little, the sweetness in the fruits, until it makes them reach perfect maturation; it nourishes the varied tints of colors for the flowers, the development for all the plants; and so with all the rest. A continuous act can be called perennial miracle, though creatures do not pay attention to it; but your Jesus cannot do without paying attention, because I know the prodigious virtue of an act never interrupted. Therefore, your ‘I love You’ serves to preserve, nourish and grow the life of My Love in you; if you do not nourish It, It cannot grow, nor receive the multiplicity of the sweetnesses and the variety of the Divine Colors that My Love contains.”

I was thinking of the great love with which Jesus loves us. My mind was wandering within the Eternal Love, and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, showed me spokes of light, before my mind. Within these spokes there was a sun, and this sun contained as many rays for as many existing creatures; and each creature had a ray all for herself, which gave her life, light, heat, strength, growth – everything that is necessary to form a life. It was delightful to see how each creature was attached, like branch to the vine, to each ray of this sun, from which she had been delivered. And while my mind was wandering through this, my adorable Jesus said to me: “My daughter, do you see with how much Love I Love the creature? Before coming out to the light of the day of this world, she was already in My Womb, and in delivering her, I did not leave her: a ray of Light containing My Life follows her in order to administer to her all that is necessary to develop this Life. And with how much care do I not raise her! With how much Love do I not water her? I Myself become light, heat, food, defense. And when she ends her days in time, on the way of that same ray, I withdraw her into My Womb, to let her wander through the Celestial Fatherland.
“My Love for the creature becomes more than the sun which I formed in the blue heavens; even more, the sun I created for the benefit of humanity is nothing other than the shadow of the True Sun; it is My Ray which I communicate to the creature. The sun of the atmosphere does not form the plants, nor does it give them water so as not to let them wither, nor does it provide all those aids which are necessary so that the plants may grow beautiful and strong; and men, even if blind, can in part enjoy its light. It only does its office of illuminating and warming, and it moves on. And if the plants are not watered, it can do nothing to communicate its effects to them; rather, it withers them even more. On the other hand, I, who am the True Sun of the souls, do not leave them, either at night or at daytime. I Myself form the souls; I give them the water of My Grace so as not to let them wither; I nourish them with the light of My Truths; I strengthen them with My Examples; I give them the zephyr of My Caresses to purify them, the dew of My Charisms to embellish them, the arrows of My Love to warm them. In sum, there is nothing I do not do for them: I am everything for them, and I place My whole Life at the creature’s disposal, for her own good.
“But how much ingratitude on the part of creatures! They seem to be attached like branches to My Vine, not out of love, but by force, because they cannot do without Me; and so they grow like those branches which, not receiving all the good humors that the vine contains, grow thin, without ever forming mature grapes, but unripe, such as to embitter My Divine Taste.
“Ah, if all reflected on how I Love their souls, they would all be taken by the Power and the Attractiveness of My Love, and they would love Me! Therefore, love Me, and may your love expand so much as to love Me for all.”

Having read a book which dealt with the virtues, I was concerned in looking at myself, for I could see no virtue in me. If it wasn’t that I just want to love Him, that I want Him, that I love Him, and that I want to be loved by blessed Jesus, nothing – nothing of God would exist in me. Now, as I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter, the closer the soul comes to the end, so as to draw near the fount of every good, which is the True and Perfect Love of God in which everything will remain submerged and love alone will float, to be the engine of everything, the more she loses all the virtues she has practiced along the journey, to enclose everything in love and rest from everything — to love only. Do the Blessed in Heaven not lose everything to love only? In the same way, the more she advances, the less she feels the varied crafting of the virtues, because, investing them all, Love converts them all into itself, keeping them at rest within itself like many noble princesses, working, itself alone, and giving life to all of them. And while the soul does not perceive them, in Love she finds them all, but more beautiful, more pure, more perfect, more ennobled; and if she does perceive them, it is a sign that they are separated from Love. For example, a soul receives a command, and she exercises obedience to obey that person in order to acquire virtue, to sacrifice her own will, and for many other possible reasons. Now, by doing so, she already perceives that she is exercising obedience; she feels the toil, the sacrifice that this virtue brings with itself. Another then, obeys, not to obey that person, nor for other reasons; but knowing that God would be displeased by her disobedience, she looks at God in the one who commands her, and for love of Him she sacrifices everything, and obeys. In this, the soul does not perceive that she obeys, but only that she loves, because she has obeyed only out of love, otherwise she would have disobeyed anyway — and so with all the rest. Therefore, courage along the journey, because the more you move forward, the sooner you will enjoy in advance, also down here, the Eternal Beatitude of Sole and True Love.”

“…In fact, it is established that in the Celestial Fatherland they will receive as much glory, beatitude and happiness, for as much of My Will as they have enclosed in their souls on earth. Their glory will be measured by that very Will of Mine that their souls will possess; nor will they be able to receive more, because their capacity and wideness is formed by that very Divine Will that they have done and possessed while living on earth. And even if My Liberality wanted to give them more, they would lack the space to contain it, and it would overflow outside.
“Now, My daughter, of all that My Will has established to give to creatures, of all of Its Acts, they have taken little—they have known little until now, because Its Kingdom has not only not been known, but not even possessed. Therefore, in Heaven It cannot give all Its complete glory, or all the Joys and Happiness It possesses, because It finds Itself in the midst of children who are incapable and of small stature.
“This is why It awaits the time of Its Kingdom with so much love and yearning—to have Its total dominion, and to give from Its Fiat everything It had established to give to creatures, therefore forming children who are capable of receiving all of Its Goods. And only these children will make the glory for all the Blessed—for the children of the Kingdom of My Will, be completed in the Celestial Fatherland, because they have enclosed what My Will wanted, giving It free field of action and of dominion. Therefore, they will have the ‘essential glory’, as they will have the capacity and the space to contain it, and, through them, the others will have the ‘accidental glory’; and, all together, they will enjoy the Complete Glory and the Full Happiness of My Will. So, the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat will be the full triumph of Heaven and of the earth.” …

Continuing in my usual state, full of bitternesses and privations, as my sweet Jesus came, He told me: “My daughter, governments feel the ground missing under their feet. I will use all means to make them surrender, to make them come back to their senses, and to make them know that only from Me can they hope for True Peace — and lasting Peace. So, now I humiliate one, now another; now I make them become friends, now enemies. I will be up to all sorts of things; I will make their arms fall off; I will do unforeseen and unexpected things in order to confuse them, and make them comprehend the instability of human things and of themselves - to make them comprehend that God alone is the stable Being from Whom they can expect every good, and that if they want Justice and Peace, they must come to the Fount of True Justice and of True Peace. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything; they will continue to struggle; and if it may seem that they will arrange peace, it will not be lasting, and the brawls will start again, more strongly. My daughter, the way things are now, only My Omnipotent Finger can fix them. At the right time I will place it, but great trials are needed and will occur in the world. Therefore, it takes great patience.”
Then, with a more moving and sorrowful tone, He added: “My daughter, the greatest chastisement is the triumph of the evil. More purges are needed, and through their triumph the evil will purge My Church. Then I will crush them and scatter them, like dust in the wind. Therefore, do not be troubled at the triumphs that you hear, but cry with Me over their sad lot.”

I was doing the Hours of the Passion, and blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, in the course of my mortal Life, thousands and thousands of Angels were the cortege of my Humanity, gathering everything I did – My Steps, My Works, My Words, and even My Sighs, My Pains, the drops of My Blood – in sum, everything. They were the Angels in charge of My custody, and of paying Me honor; obedient to My every wish, they would rise to and descend from Heaven, to bring to the Father what I was doing. Now these Angels have a special office, and as the soul remembers My Life, My Passion, My Blood, My Wounds, My Prayers, they come around this soul and gather her words, her prayers, her acts of compassion for Me, her tears and her offerings; they unite them to Mine, and they bring them before My Majesty to renew for Me the Glory of My own Life. The delight of the Angels is so great that, reverent, they listen to what the soul says, and pray together with her. So, with what attention and respect must the soul do these Hours, thinking that the Angels hang upon her lips to repeat after her what she says.”
Then He added: “After the so many bitternesses that creatures give Me, these Hours are sweet little sips that souls give Me; but for the many bitter sips I receive, the sweet ones are too few. Therefore, more diffusion, more diffusion!”

… [Jesus speaking]
“My daughter, this Crowning of thorns contains many meanings, and as much as I may speak, there is always much left to be said. In fact, the reason why My Head wanted to be honored by having, not a general share, but its distinct and special portion of suffering, and its own shedding of Blood, almost competing with the Body — is almost incomprehensible to the created mind. The reason is that it is the head that unites the whole body and all of the soul, in such a way that, without the head, the body is nothing; so much so, that one can live without the other members, but it is impossible to live without the head, because it is the essential part of the whole of man. In fact, if the body sins or does good, it is the head that directs it, since the body is nothing other than an instrument. Therefore, since My Head was to give back Regime and Dominion to men, and earn for them that New Heavens of Graces and New Worlds of Truths might enter the human minds, rejecting the new hells of sins because of which men reach the point of rendering themselves vile slaves of vile passions; wanting to crown the whole human family with glory, with honor and with decorum, I wanted to crown and honor My Humanity first, though with a most painful crown of thorns, symbol of the Immortal Crown which I was giving back to creatures, taken away from sin.
“In addition, the crown of thorns means that there is no glory and honor without thorns; that there can never be dominion over passions and acquisition of virtues without feeling oneself being pricked deep in one’s flesh and spirit, and that true reigning is in mastering oneself by the pricks of mortification and of sacrifice.
“Moreover, these thorns signified that I am the True and Only King, and only one who constitutes Me King of her heart enjoys peace and happiness, and I constitute her queen of My own Kingdom. So, all those rivulets of Blood which poured from My Head were many little streams which bound the human intelligence to the knowledge of My Sovereignty over them.” …

I felt very oppressed because of the privation of my sweet Jesus. Oh, how many fears aroused within my soul! But the one that tortured me the most was that my Jesus might no longer love me as before. In the meantime, I felt my shoulders being squeezed, and hearing the voice of Jesus at my ear, I heard it say to me: “My daughter, why do you fear I may not love you? Ah, if you knew even just of My Love for all creatures in general, you would be surprised. With how much Love did I not create the creature? With how many senses did I not endow her? Each sense was a communication that I left between Me and her. Her thought was communication between My Intelligence and hers; her eye was communication between her light and Mine; her speech was a channel of communication between her Fiat and Mine; her heart, between her love and Mine. In sum, everything, her breath, her motion, her step – everything, everything was communication between Me and the creature.
“I did more than a father, who, having to set up a son, prepares for him not only the house, the clothes, the food, and everything that can make his son happy, but gives virtue to the son, and says to him: ‘We will separate, it is true, but from afar you will feel my life and I, yours. You will feel my thought and I, yours; you, my breathing, my heartbeat, and I, yours. So, we will be far and near, separated and inseparable: you will feel my life, and I, yours. But what the terrestrial father cannot do for his son, because it is impossible for him – I, Celestial Father, did: as this son of Mine came out to the light, after I Myself had prepared for him his residence in this world, I placed such Bond between Me and him, that I was to feel his life in Me, and the creature, Mine. And this is My Love in general and for all.
“What should I tell you, then, of the special Love I had for you? Each Suffering I sent you has been one more communication between Me and you, and therefore one more adornment with which I embellished your soul. Each Truth I manifested to you has been a particle of My Qualities with which I adorned your soul with New Beauties and filled it with New Splendors. Each Grace and each time I came to you have been Gifts that I poured upon you. I did nothing but multiply My Communications almost in every instant, in order to portray in you My various Beauties – My Likeness, that you might live with Me in Heaven, and I might live with you on earth. And after all this, you doubt about My Love? Rather, I say to you: care about loving Me, and I will take care of loving you ever more.”

… Then, afterwards, I saw my Celestial Mama with Baby Jesus in Her arms, as She kissed Him and placed Him to Her breast to give Him Her most pure milk; and I said to Her: “My Mama, and what about me — don’t You give anything to me? O please! allow me at least to place my ‘I love You’ between your mouth and that of Jesus while You kiss, so that my little ‘I love You’ may run within everything You do.” And She said to me: “My daughter, please do, place your little ‘I love You’, not only in the mouth, but in all the acts that pass between Me and my Son. You must know that everything I did toward my Son, I intended to do toward those souls who were to live in the Divine Will, because, being in It, they would be disposed to receive all the acts I did toward Jesus, and I would find sufficient space in which to place them. So, if I kissed my Son, I kissed them, because I found them together with Him in His Supreme Will. They were the first to be as though lined up within Him, and my Maternal Love pushed Me to let them partake in everything I did to my Son. Great graces were needed for those who were to live in this Holy Will, and I placed all my Goods, my Graces, my Sorrows, at their disposal, as their help, as Defense, as Strength, as Support and as Light; and I felt happy and honored with the greatest honors, to have, as my children, the children of the Will of the Celestial Father, which I too possessed; and therefore I looked at them also as births from Me. Even more, it can be said of them what is said about my Son: that the first generations found salvation in the merits of the future Redeemer. In the same way, these souls, these future daughters, by virtue of the Divine Will operating in them, are the ones who incessantly implore Salvation and Graces for the future generations. They are with Jesus, and Jesus is in them; and they repeat together with Jesus that which Jesus contains. Therefore, if you want Me to repeat for you what I did for my Son, let Me always find you in His Will, and I will be generous with my Favors toward you.”

… And I: “My Love, how can it be that our works become food for You?” And Jesus: “It is not on bread alone that one can live, but on everything to which my Will gives virtue of making one live. If bread nourishes man, it is because I want it so. Now, whatever the creature disposes with her will to make of her work – that is the form which it assumes. If with her work she wants to form food for Me, she forms food for Me; if Love, she gives Me Love; if reparation, she forms reparation. And if in her will she wants to offend Me, she makes of her work the knife to wound Me, and maybe even to kill Me.”
Then He added: “The will of man is that which makes him more like His Creator. In the human will I placed part of My Immensity and of My Power, and giving it the place of honor, I constituted it queen of the whole of man and depository of all of his works. Just as creatures have chests in which they keep their things to maintain them secured, the soul has her will in which to keep and secure all that she thinks, says and does. Not even one thought will be lost. What she cannot do with her eyes, with her mouth, with her works, she can do with her will — in one instant she can will a thousand goods and a thousand evils. The will makes her thought fly up to Heaven, to the farthest places and deep into the abysses. She might be prevented from working, from seeing, from speaking, but she can do all this in her will. Whatever she does and wants, forms an act which remains deposited in her own will. Oh, how the will can be expanded! How much good and how much evil can it not contain? This is why, among all things, I want the will of man: because if I have this, I have everything — the fortress is conquered.”

This morning, I struggled very much in waiting for my adorable Jesus; however, while waiting for Him, I did as much as I could to unite everything I was doing in my interior with the interior of our Lord, intending to give Him all the Glory and Reparation which His Most Holy Humanity gave Him. Now, while I was doing this, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, when a soul makes use of My Humanity as the means to operate, be it even a thought, a breath, or just any act, they are like as many gems that come out of My Humanity and present themselves before the Divinity. And since they come out through My Humanity, they have the same effects as My Operating when I was on earth.” And I: “Ah, Lord, I feel as though a doubt: how can it be that with the simple intention in operating — be it even in the smallest things which, considered in themselves, are trivial, empty — it seems that the mere intention of union with You and of pleasing You alone fills them, and You elevate them in that Supreme Way, making them appear as a most great thing?”
“Ah, my daughter, the operating of the creature is empty, be it even a great work; rather, it is the union with Me and the simple aim at pleasing Me that fills it. And since My Operating, be it even a breath, accesses all the works of creatures together in an Infinite Way, this is why it renders it so great. Besides, don’t you know that one who makes use of My Humanity as the means to do his actions comes to nourish himself of the fruits of My own Humanity, and to feed himself from My own Food? Furthermore, is it perhaps not the good intention that makes a man holy, and the evil intention that makes him perverted? One does not always do different things, but with the same actions one is sanctified and another becomes perverted.”
Now, while He was saying this, I saw a flourishing tree inside Our Lord, filled with beautiful fruits, and I saw that those souls who operated to please God alone and through His Humanity were inside of Him, upon that tree, and His Humanity served as dwelling of these souls. But how so very scarce was their number.
Divine Will for every day of the year - October 7, 1928 Volume 25
… Now, in order to be able to say what Jesus told me, I have to make a brief mention—that here in Corato a house has been founded, that was wanted and started by the venerable memory of Father Canonical Annibale Maria di Francia [now Saint], and his children, faithful to the will of their founder, have executed and given the name of House of the Divine Will, as the Venerable Father wanted. And he wanted me to enter this house; and on the first day of its opening, by their goodness, his sons and daughters, the reverend mothers, came to take me and brought me into a room that is such that, as the door of this room is opened, I can see the tabernacle, I can listen to Holy Mass, I am just under the gazes of my Jesus in the Sacrament. Oh! how happy I feel, that from now on, if Jesus wants me to continue to write, I will write always keeping one eye on the tabernacle and the other on the paper I write on. Therefore, I pray You, my Love, to assist me and to give me the strength to make the sacrifice that You Yourself want.
So, as this house was about to be opened, one could see people, nuns, little girls—people coming and going, all in motion. I felt all impressed, and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, this group of people whom you see all in motion for the opening of the House of My Divine Will is symbolic of that group of people when I wanted to be born in Bethlehem, and the shepherds were coming and going, to visit Me, a little Baby. This pointed out to all the certainty of My Birth. In the same way, this group of people, all in motion, points out the rebirth of the Kingdom of My Divine Will.
“Look at how all of Heaven echoes My Birth, when the Angels, celebrating it, announced Me to the shepherds, and putting them in motion, made them keep coming to Me, and I recognized in them the first fruits of the Kingdom of My Redemption. So now, in this group of people, of little girls and nuns, I recognize the beginning of the Kingdom of My Divine Will. Oh! how My Heart exults and rejoices, and all of Heaven makes feast. Just as the Angels celebrated My Birth, so do they celebrate the beginning of the Rebirth of My Fiat in the midst of creatures.
“But, look at how My Birth was more neglected, more poor—I had not even one Priest near Me, but only poor shepherds. On the other hand, at the beginning of My Volition, there is not only a group of nuns and little girls from out of town, and a people rushing up to celebrate the opening, but there is an Archbishop and Priests representing My Church. This is symbol and announcement to all, that the Kingdom of My Divine Volition will be formed with more magnificence, with greater pomp and splendor than the very Kingdom of My Redemption; and everyone, kings and princes, Bishops and Priests and peoples, will know the Kingdom of My Fiat and will possess It. Therefore, you too, celebrate this day in which My Sighs and Sacrifices, and yours, to make My Divine Will known see the first dawn and hope for the Sun of My Divine Fiat to soon rise.” …
