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

This morning, as I was in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus for a little while, present inside my heart, sleeping, and His sleep drew my soul to fall asleep together with Him; so much so, that I felt all my interior powers asleep, without acting any more.  At times I tried to get out of that sleep, but I could not.  Then blessed Jesus woke up for a little while and sent His Breath into me three times, and it seemed to me that He became all absorbed in me.  Afterwards, it seemed to me that Jesus was drawing those three Breaths He had sent me back into Himself again, and I found myself all transformed in Him.  Who can say what was happening in me because of these Divine Breaths?  I have no words to express that inseparable union between Jesus and me!

After this, it seems I was able to wake up, and Jesus, breaking the silence, told me:  “My daughter, I looked and looked again, I searched and searched again, going throughout the whole earth, but upon you I fixed My Gazes and I found My Satisfactions, and I chose you among a thousand.”

Then, turning to certain people I could see, He reprimanded them, saying to them:  “Lack of esteem for others is lack of true Christian humility and of sweetness, because a humble and sweet spirit knows how to respect everyone and interprets the things of others always for the good.”  Having said this, He disappeared, without my saying to Him even a word.  May He be always blessed for He wants it this way, and may everything be for His glory.

[Jesus speaking]

“…Lack of confidence always places an obstacle to the union between Creator and creature; it is the wing-clipper of the flight toward the One who loves her so much; it makes her live at the earth’s level; and even though she does not fall, it makes her feel, vividly, her passions.  More so, since lack of confidence has been the weak act in the course of the centuries, and sometimes even good souls have drawn back in the journey of virtues because of lack of confidence.  And I, in order to remove this torpor that the specter of the lack of confidence produces, wanted to show Myself with you as all Love, and in an intimate way, more than father and daughter, in order to call back, not only you, but all others, to live as My children, as though rocked in My Arms.  And I have enjoyed, and so have you, how beautiful it is to have the creature as all love and all trust with Me; I can give whatever I want, and she has no fear of receiving what she wants.  So, once true confidence is placed in order between Me and you, the greatest obstacle to letting My Divine Will Reign in their souls is removed. …”

This morning I found myself outside of myself, and I saw my last late Confessor, surrounded by many people who were all attentive and as though enraptured in listening to him; and he talked and talked, and was so inflamed as to inflame others. I drew near to listen to what he was saying, and to my surprise, I heard that he was saying all that blessed Jesus had told me – His finesses of Love, the many condescensions of Jesus toward me. And when he spoke about the stratagems of Love of Jesus toward me, he radiated Light, to the extent of remaining transfused within that Light; and not only himself, but also those who were listening to him. I remained surprised, and I said to myself: “The Confessor did not do it only in life – telling the things of my soul to others – but he is doing it also after his death, in the other life…” And I waited for him to finish speaking, in order to approach him and tell him about some of my difficulties; but he would not finish, and I found myself inside myself.

Then, according to my usual way, I followed my beloved Jesus in His Passion, satisfying Him, repairing Him, and making His pains my own. And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how much great good the memory of Me and of all that I did, suffered and said in My Life, procures for the soul! By compassionating Me and making My Intentions her own, and by remembering, one by one, My Pains, My Works, My Words, she calls them into herself and places them in nice order within her soul, in such a way as to come to take the Fruits of all I did, suffered and said. This produces a sort of Divine Humidity within the soul, in which the Sun of My Grace delights in rising and in forming a Celestial Dew, by virtue of that Humidity. And this dew does not only embellish the soul in a marvelous way, but It has the virtue of mitigating the rays of the burning Sun of My Divine Justice, when, finding souls burned up by the fire of sin, It is about to strike them, burn them and wither them more and more. By mitigating Its rays, this Divine Dew uses them to form a beneficial Dew, in order to prevent them from striking the creatures, and it becomes vital Humidity so as not to let them wither. Oh, how this symbolizes nature when, after a day of burning sun, the plants are about to wither; and a humid night is enough, because, rising again upon that humidity, the sun forms its dew, and instead of making them die, its heat serves to fecundate them and to complete the maturation of their fruits. 

“This happens more surprisingly in the supernatural order. The memory is the beginning of every good. The memory forms many sips for the soul in order to give her life. When good, when things are forgotten, they lose the vital virtue for the soul; they lose their attractiveness, gratitude, correspondence, esteem, love, value. And this memory does not only produce the origin of every good in life, but also after death, it produces the origin of Glory. Have you not heard your late Confessor – how he delighted in speaking about the graces I have given you? This is because during his life he cared about hearing them, he remembered them, and his interior remained filled with them as to overflow outside. And now, how much good did this not procure for him in the other life? It is for him like a fount of Good which overflows for the good of others. Therefore, the more the soul remembers all that belongs to Me, My Graces, the Lessons I have given her, the more the fount of My Goods grows within her, to the point that, unable to contain them, they overflow for the good of others.”

This morning, as I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came, and at that very moment I saw the Confessor. Jesus appeared a little disappointed with him, because it seemed that the Confessor wanted everyone to approve that my situation was a work from God, and almost wanted to convince other Priests by showing them something of my interior. 

Jesus turned to the confessor and said to him: “This is impossible. Even I received oppositions, and from people among the most distinguished, and also from Priests and other authorities. They found fault with My Holy Works, to the point of saying that I was possessed by the devil. But I allow these oppositions, even from religious people, so that the Truth may shine more in its own time. If you want to consult with two or three Priests among the most good and holy, and also learned, in order to receive enlightenment and also to do what I want in the things to be done, which is advice from the good and prayer - this, I allow. But the rest - no, no. It would be as though wanting to waste My Works, making fun of them - which displeases Me very much.”

Then He said to me: “All I want from you is an upright and simple operating. Do not bother about the pros and the cons of creatures; let them think what they want, without being the least troubled, since wanting that all be favorable is wanting to deviate from the imitation of My own Life.”

[Jesus speaking to Luisa]

“… You [Luisa} are in a condition which is almost similar to the conditions of the Blessed in Heaven. They have not lost their free will; this is a gift which I gave man, and whatever I give once, I never take back. Slavery has never entered Heaven. I am the God of sons, not of slaves; I am the King who makes everyone reign – there is no separation between Me and them. But in Heaven the knowledge of My Goods, of My Will and of My Happiness, is so great and so vast that they are filled to the brim, to the point of overflowing; and so their will finds no place to act. And while they are free, the Knowledge of an Infinite Will and of the Infinite Goods in which they are immersed, leads them, with an irresistible force, to use their will as if they did not have it, considering this as their highest fortune and happiness, but still, in spontaneous freedom and of their own will.

“The same for you, My daughter [Luisa]. Making My Will known to you has been the greatest Grace I have given you; and while you are free to do your will or not, before Mine, your will feels incapable of working - it feels annihilated. Knowing the great Good of My Will, you abhor yours, and without anyone forcing you, you love to do My Will, in view of the great Good which comes to you. And the many Knowledges of My Will, which I have manifested to you [Luisa], are Divine Bonds, Eternal Chains that surround you, possessions of Celestial Goods. And if you wanted to escape these Eternal Chains, to break these Divine Bonds, to lose these celestial possessions also in this life, your will, though free, would not find its way out - it becomes confused, it sees its littleness, and fearing itself, or a trick of its own, it dives and plunges itself into My Will, with more spontaneous love. Knowledge opens the doors to the good which is known, and the more knowledges I manifested to you about My Will, the more different doors of Goods, of Light, of Grace and of Divine participation, I opened for you. 

“These doors are opened for you [Luisa]; and as these knowledges reach the midst of creatures, the doors will be opened for them, because knowledge makes love arise for the good which is known. The great door, which I will open, will be My Will, so that they may close the little door of their will. My Will will make them abhor their own, because in the face of My Will, the human is incapable of acting. With the light of My Will, the creature can see how insignificant and good at nothing her own is. Therefore, as a consequence, the creatures who will penetrate into these Divine Knowledges, according to the efforts they will make in order to reach them, will keep their own will aside. Moreover, you must know that when I manifest to you one Knowledge about My Will, only then do I decide to open another door of My Knowledge, when you have let all the Good of what I have manifested to you, enter into your soul. If I did not do so, yours would only be the news of that Good, but not the possession of It. And I cannot do this – whenever I speak, I want the Good which I manifest, to be possessed. Therefore, be attentive in the practice of My Will, that I may open to you more doors of My Knowledges, and that you may enter more into the Divine Possessions.”

I was thinking of when my sweet Jesus went back to Heaven in His glorious Ascension, and therefore of the sorrow of the Apostles in remaining deprived of such a great good; and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, the greatest sorrow for all of the Apostles, in their entire lives, was to remain deprived of their Master. As they saw Me ascend to Heaven, their hearts were consumed with the pain of My Privation; and much more sharp and penetrating was this pain, since it was not a human pain – something material that they were losing – but a Divine pain: it was a God that they were losing. And even though I had My Humanity, as It resurrected, It was spiritualized and glorified, therefore all the pain was in their souls; and penetrating them completely, it made them feel consumed with grief, such as to form in them the most harrowing and painful martyrdom. But all this was necessary for them.

“One can say that until that moment, they were nothing but tender babies in virtues and in the knowledge of Divine things, and of My own Person. I could say that I was in their midst and they did not really know Me, or love Me. But when they saw Me ascend into Heaven, the pain of losing Me tore the veil, and they recognized Me with so much certainty as the true Son of God, that the intense sorrow of no longer seeing Me in their midst delivered firmness in good and strength to suffer anything for love of the One whom they had lost. It delivered the Light of Divine Science; it removed the swaddling clothes of their childhood, and formed them as intrepid men - no longer fearful, but courageous… The pain transformed them and formed in them the true character of Apostles. What I could not obtain with My Presence, I obtained with the pain of My Privation. …”

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, as the human will has its doors, its stairs, in order to descend into the abyss of evils, not in order to ascend, so My Divine Will has Its doors, Its stairs, in order to Ascend to Its Heavens, to Its Immense Goods, and It forms the Living Paradise of the one who possesses It.  And every Knowledge that regards It is one door that is opened, it is a stair that is formed, it is a way that opens before you that you must cross in order to possess with deeds what you have known.  See, therefore, the Great Good of the so many Knowledges that I have manifested to you.  They are so many Doors that make the entrance into Its Kingdom easy for you.  And at every door I have placed an Angel as Guardian so that he would give you a hand and conduct you safely into the Regions of the Divine Will.  

“Every Knowledge is an Invitation and a Divine Strength that It cedes to you, and makes you feel the extreme need, the absolute necessity, of Living of Divine Will.  As It makes Itself known, so It extends Its Arms to you in order to take you and conduct you in Its Arms into that same Knowledge that It has Manifested to you.  It adapts it to your capacity, It molds your soul so that it enters into you as Vital Humor, as Blood, as Air, and it produces in you the Life, the Goods that Its Knowledge possesses.  And acting as Conductor, more than mother It remains on guard in order to see when Its daughter has absorbed the last drop of the Good that It has made known to her, in order to again open Its Bosom to her.  And pouring Itself into Its daughter, and making her know other Values, other Effects, that the Life of My Volition contains, then It repeats Its Labor, because It wants to see in her the Value of Its Life, the Effects, the Substance of Its Goods.  

“Now, the Knowledges about My Divine Will instruct the human volition, and she acquires Science and Reason, that it is not only Justice to let It Reign and Dominate as Primary Life in her soul, but it is the Greatest Good, Honor and Great Glory that she can receive, that this Holy Volition, by Dominating, arrives at giving her the state of Divine Royalty.  Because she feels herself daughter of the Great King, the Royalty is also therefore her property.  When the creature has arrived at comprehending all this by way of Knowledges and Lessons that My Divine Volition has made to her, everything is done.  My Will has Conquered the human volition, and the human volition has Conquered the Divine Will.  The Knowledges about It are so very necessary, because they serve to dry up the bad humors and substitute them with the Holy humors.  They are as sun that darts the human volition, and they communicate Its Life, Its Sanctity, and the ardent desire to possess the Good that one knows.

“Therefore, be attentive to listen to Its Lessons and correspond to such a Good.”

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.”

…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.  Just as Redemption was accomplished, because It was established by Us, so it will be done for Our Will; more so, since this, Its Kingdom, was issued by the Divinity in Creation—fully in order, so that It might reign and dominate; and with the fall of man this Kingdom was not destroyed, but remained intact—and It still exists; only, It remained suspended for man.  

“In Redemption I smoothed everything out, and just as I did everything so that man might be redeemed, so I did everything so that this suspension be removed, and the creature might enter into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat—first, giving place to Redemption, and then, with time, giving place to My Will.  So, what is difficult is to form a kingdom, a work; but once it is done, it becomes easy to make it known.  More so, since your Jesus does not lack power; I may lack wanting to do or not do a work, but power I never lack.  I will dispose things, circumstances, creatures, events, in such a way as to make it easy for My Will to become known.” …

“… 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, 1920 Volume 12

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, the acts done in My Will dissolve the human acts, and identifying themselves with My Divine Acts, they rise up to Heaven, circulate in everyone, embrace all centuries, all points and all creatures. And since they remain fixed in My Will, these acts are, and will be, the defenders of My Throne for each offense which creatures give to Me - not only in the present time, but until the end of the centuries. Rising to defend Me, they will make reparations counter to the offenses that creatures will make. The acts done in My Will have the virtue of multiplying themselves according to the need and the circumstances which my Glory requires. 

"What will the happiness of the soul be, when she finds herself up there in Heaven, and sees her acts done in My Will, as defenders of My Throne, and which, having a continuous echo of reparation, will reject the echo of the offenses that come from the earth? 

“Therefore, the glory in Heaven of the soul who lives in My Will on earth will be different from that of the other Blessed. The others will draw all their contentments from Me; while these souls will not only draw them from Me, but will also have their own little rivers within My Sea. As they lived in My Volition on earth, they formed them by themselves within My Sea. It is just that in Heaven too they have this little river of happiness and contentments, which will extend over all the Blessed. How beautiful are these rivers, within My Sea! They pour into Me, and I into them. It will be an Enchanting Sight, at which all the Blessed will remain astonished.”

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.”

This morning, as I received Communion, blessed Jesus did not come; and after waiting for a long time between vigil and sleep, in seeing that time was passing and Jesus was not coming, I wanted to go out of my sleep, but at the same time I wanted to stay, because of the torment I felt in my heart at not having seen Him. I felt like a baby who, wanting to sleep and being awakened by force, starts making fusses and cries; however, in my fussing, while striving to wake up I said within my interior: “What bitter separation! I feel lifeless, yet I live – but life is harder than death. However, may Your privation be for love of You; for love of You the bitterness I feel; for love of You my tormented heart; for love of You the life I don’t feel, though I live. But so that it may be more acceptable to You, I unite this suffering of mine to the intensity of Your Love, and with mine, I offer You Your own Love.”

But as I was saying this, He moved in my interior and told me: “How sweet and delightful to My Hearing is the note of Love. Say it, say it once more – repeat it again; cheer My Hearing with these notes of Love, so harmonious, which descend deep into my Heart and sweeten all of Me.”

Yet, who would believe it? I am ashamed to say it… In my huffiness, I answered: “I don’t want to say it – You get sweetened, while I get more embittered.” My sweet Jesus kept silent, as though being displeased with my answer; and as soon as I woke up, I repeated my notes of Love many times. However, He did not let Himself be heard or seen for the whole day.

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 21, 1929 Volume 26

… After this, I continued to think about the adorable Fiat, and my sweet Jesus continued, saying:  “My daughter, one who lives in My Divine Will is under the continuous Outpouring of her Creator.  Our Love toward her is so great, that We are so enraptured in seeing Our Fiat in the littleness of the creature, that We want to give her always—always, without ever ceasing.  Now, this Divine Outpouring of Ours fills her so much as to leave not one void within her, in such a way that, whatever place she leans on, she always finds the fullness of Our Outpouring that sustains her, in such a way that she cannot bend over herself because Our Outpouring sustains her and carries her as though in triumph in Its Arms.  

“But do you know what We pour out?  Love, Light, Grace, Sanctity, Power, etc.  Now, all these qualities of Ours compete among themselves for carrying this little creature in their arms.  It seems that they vie with one another for her, and they take turns, so as to say:  ‘We all have carried her.’  And while each of them carries her in its arms, if it is Love that carries her, it fills her so much with love as to take pleasure in seeing the tiny little one drowned—drowned with its Love; and only when it sees her overflow with Love, then does it content itself with letting her pass into the arms of Light; because they want to see, being repeated in the tiny little one, what her Creator has done.  The Light takes delight in drowning her with Light; Grace, in drowning her with Grace; power, in drowning her with Power—but so much, as to captivate the Creator Himself.  

“In sum, this little creature lives under the continuous Outpouring of God, that fills her so much that she feels drowned and cannot contain it, in such a way that she is forced to pour it outside.  So, what you say about My Divine Will is nothing other than the outpouring of what you contain inside.”

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.”

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.”

As I was feeling oppressed, I was almost about to be surprised by the poisonous waves of disturbance.  My lovable Jesus, my faithful sentry, immediately ran to prevent disturbance from entering into me, and scolding me, told me:  “Daughter, what are you doing?  The love and the interest I have to maintain the soul at peace are such and so great that I am forced to make miracles in order to keep the soul at peace; and those who disturb these souls would want to confront Me and prevent this miracle of Mine, all of Love.  So, I recommend to you – be balanced in everything.  My Being is in Full Balance in everything, and yet I do see and feel evils, and bitternesses I do not lack.  Nevertheless, I never become unbalanced, My Peace is Perennial, My Thoughts are Peaceful, My Words are honeyed with Peace, the beating of My Heart is never tumultuous, even in the midst of Immense Joys or interminable bitternesses; the very operating of My Hands in the act of scourging flows over the earth as enveloped in waves of Peace.  So, if you do not maintain yourself at peace, since I am in your heart I feel dishonored, and My Way and yours are no longer in accord; I would feel hindered in you from carrying out My Ways in you, and therefore you would render Me unhappy.  Only peaceful souls are My staffs on which I lean; and when the many iniquities snatch scourges from My Hands, by leaning on these staffs I always do less than what I should do.  Ah! if – may it never be – I lacked these staffs, in lacking My supports I would send everything to ruin.”

After I had the Confessor hear what is written above - with the date of May 10th - on fusing myself in the Divine Volition, he was not satisfied, and ordered me to continue to write about the way to fuse myself in the Holy Divine Volition. So, out of obedience, and for fear that my Jesus might be even slightly disappointed, I continue.

Now, I add that as that immense void comes before my mind, in fusing myself in the Supreme Volition, the little child begins her round again, and rising up high, she wants to repay her God for all the love He had for all creatures in Creation. She wants to honor Him as Creator of all things, and so she goes around the stars, and in each flickering of light I impress my “I love You” and “Glory to my Creator”. In every atom of the light of the sun that comes down, my “I love you” and “Glory”. In the whole expanse of the heavens, between the distance from one step to another, my “I LOVE YOU” and “GLORY”. In the warbling of the bird, in the beating of its wings: “Love” and “Glory” to my Creator. In the blade of grass which sprouts from the earth, in the flower that blooms, in the fragrance that ascends: “Love” and “Glory”. On the peak of the mountains and in the depths of the valleys: “Love” and “Glory”. I wander through every heart of creature as though wanting to enclose myself and shout from within, to every heart, my “I love you” and “Glory to my Creator”. And then, as if I had gathered everything together in such a way that everything gives return of love and recognition of glory for all that God has done in Creation, I go to His Throne, and I say to Him: ‘Supreme Majesty and Creator of all things, this little child comes into your arms to tell You that all of Creation, in the name of all creatures, gives You not only return of love, but also the just glory for the so many things You created for love of us. In your Will, in this immense empty space, I wandered everywhere, so that all things may glorify You, love You and bless You. And now that I have put in relation the love between Creator and creature, which the human will had broken - as well as the glory that everyone owed You, let your Will descend upon earth, that It may bind and strengthen all the relations between Creator and creature, and so that all things may return to the original order established by You. Therefore, hurry, do not delay any longer – don’t You see how the earth is full of evils? Your Will alone can stop this current and save it – your Will, known and ruling.’

After this, I feel that my office is still not complete. So I descend to the bottom of that empty space, in order to repay Jesus for the Work of Redemption. And as though finding all that He did in act, I want to give Him my return for all the acts that all creatures should have done in waiting for Him and receiving Him upon earth. Then, as though wanting to transform all of myself into love for Jesus, I go back to my refrain, and I say: ‘“I LOVE YOU” in the act of descending from Heaven to be incarnated, and I impress my “I LOVE YOU” in the act of being conceived in the most pure womb of the Virgin Mary. “I LOVE YOU” in the first drop of blood which was formed in your Humanity. “I LOVE YOU” in the first beat of your Heart, to mark all your heartbeats with my “I LOVE YOU”. “I LOVE YOU” in your first breath; “I LOVE YOU” in your first pains; “I LOVE YOU” in the first tears You shed in the maternal womb. I want to return your prayers, your reparations, your offerings, with my “I LOVE YOU”. “I LOVE YOU” in your birth. “I LOVE YOU” in the cold you suffered. “I LOVE YOU” in each drop of the milk you suckled from your Most Holy Mama. I want to fill with my “I LOVE YOUs” the clothes with which your Mama swaddled You. I lay my “I LOVE YOU” upon that ground on which your Mama placed You in the manger, as your most tender limbs felt the hardness of the hay – but more than of hay, the hardness of hearts. My “I LOVE YOU” in each of your wailings, in all the tears and sufferings of your childhood. I make my “I LOVE YOU” flow in all the relations and communications and love You had with your Immaculate Mama. “I LOVE YOU” in Her dearest kisses, in each word You said, in the food You took, in the steps You took, in the water You drank. “I LOVE YOU” in the work You did with your hands. “I LOVE YOU” in all the acts You did during your hidden Life. I seal my “I LOVE YOU” in each one of your interior acts and in the pains You suffered. I lay my “I LOVE YOU” upon the paths You covered, in the air You breathed, in all the sermons You made during your public Life. My “I LOVE YOU” flows in the power of the miracles You made, in the Sacraments You instituted. In everything, O my Jesus, even in the most intimate fibers of your Heart, I impress my “I LOVE YOU”, for me and for all. Your Will makes everything present to me, and nothing do I want to leave, in which my “I LOVE YOU” is not impressed. 

Your little Daughter of your Will feels this duty - as there’s nothing else she can do - that You may have at least my little “I LOVE YOU” for everything You did for me and for all. Therefore my “I LOVE YOU” follows You in all the pains of your Passion, in all the spit, scorn and insults they gave You. My “I LOVE YOU” seals every drop of the Blood You shed, every blow You received, every wound that formed in your body, each thorn that transfixed your head, the bitter pains of the Crucifixion, the words You pronounced on the Cross. Up to your last breath, I intend to impress my “I LOVE YOU”. I want to enclose all your Life, all your acts, with my “I LOVE YOU”. I want You to touch, see and feel my continuous “I LOVE YOU”. My “I LOVE YOU” will never leave You – your very Will is the life of my “I LOVE YOU”.

But do You know what this little child wants? That the Divine Will of your Father, which You loved so much, and which You did during all your Life upon earth, make Itself known to all creatures, so that all may love It and fulfill your Will, on earth as It is in Heaven. This little child would want to surpass You in love, so that You may give your Will to all creatures. Please, make this poor little one happy, who wants nothing but what You want: that your Will be known and reign upon all the earth.’

Now I believe that obedience will be happy in some way. Though it is true that in many things I had to make a few jumps, otherwise I would never end. Fusing myself in the Divine Volition is like a springing fount for me; and every tiny thing I hear and see, even one offense given to my Jesus, is occasion for me for new ways and new fusions in His Most Holy Will.

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. 

Divine Will for every day of the year - May 15, 1938 Volume 36

… After this, I was thinking to myself:  how miserable I am; I feel like I haven’t done anything for Jesus, for all the Graces He gave me; who knows how much I should Love Him.  Instead, I am so cold.  It’s true that I can’t love anyone other than Jesus, but I should be all on fire, and I’m not.  

As I was thinking that, He came back and, reproaching me sweetly, said: “My daughter, what are you doing?  Do you want to waste time?  Don’t you know that all you should care about is knowing whether or not a state is in My Will, and doing it?  In My Will everything is Love: breathing, heartbeat, motion—even the human will wants nothing other than to Love Me.  My Will, Jealous of the creature, surrounds her with an air of Love, so that I Breathe only that Love.  Your Jesus never looks at what the creature feels, because many times feelings can deceive her.  I look at her will and what she really wants.  That’s all I take.  How many things there are that she feels but does not do; but, if she wills, all is done. 

“Further, in My Will nothing gets lost.  For whoever Lives in It everything is counted: breaths, heartbeats, the little ‘I love you’; all things done in It remain written with indelible characters of Light and form the very Life of My Will.  Often the Gifts I have given to the creature as well as her acts, remain hidden as her property in the depth of her will.  She feels as if she has not done anything.  But that is not true.  At the right time these acts will show their Light inside that soul—brighter than the sun—and Sanctity is there in Its place of honor; Virtues are all there ready to act heroically in case of need.  My Will knows how to maintain Harmony and Its Divine Order.  Wherever It Reigns and whatever It does acquires the Seal of Eternity.  Therefore Live in It and do not worry about anything.  My Will will take care of you better than you would yourself.”
