Divine Will for every day of the year - October 6, 1924 Volume 17

… Then I said to Him: “Tell me, my Love, how many times does Your Will go around through all creatures?”

And Jesus: “My daughter, in each heartbeat of creature My Will forms Its complete round through all of Creation. And just as the heartbeat in the creature is continuous, and if the heartbeat ceases life ceases, in order to give Divine Life to all creatures, My Will, more than heartbeat, goes around and forms the Heartbeat of My Will in every heart. See, then, how My Will is in every creature: as primary Heartbeat, because her own is secondary; and if I feel any heartbeat of creature, it is by virtue of the Heartbeat of My Will. Even more, My Will forms in her two heartbeats: one for the human heart, as life of the body, and one for the soul, as Heartbeat and life of the soul.

“But do you want to know what this Heartbeat of My Will does in the creature? If she thinks, My Will runs and circulates like blood in the veins of the soul, and gives her the Divine Thought, that she may put aside the human thought and give the place to the Word of My Will. If she works, if she walks, if she loves, My Will wants the place of her work, of her step, of her love. The Love and the Jealousy of My Will in the creature is so great that, while It palpitates, if the creature wants to think, It becomes Thought; if she wants to look, It becomes Eye; if she wants to speak, It becomes Word; if she wants to work, It becomes Work; if she wants to walk, It becomes Foot; if she wants to love, It becomes Fire. In sum, It runs and wanders through every act of the creature in order to take Its Primary Place, which is due to It. But to Our greatest Sorrow, the creature denies It this place of honor, and gives place to her human will; and My Will is forced to remain in the creature as if It had no Thought, no Eye, no Word, no Hands, no Feet – unable to carry out the Life of My Will in the center of the soul of the creature. What Sorrow! What highest ingratitude!

"But do you want to know who gives Me free field and lets My Will operate as Heartbeat of Life within her soul? One who lives in My Will. Oh, how well does My Will carry out Its Life, becoming Thought of her thought, Eye of her eye, Word of her mouth, Heartbeat of her heart, and so with all the rest! Oh, how quickly we understand each other with one who is living in My Will; and My Will obtains the intent of forming Its Life in the soul of the creature! …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - October 5, 1906 Volume 7

Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself together with Baby Jesus. This time it seemed He felt like playing. He would press Himself against my breast and in my arms, and while looking at me with great love, now He would clasp me, now He would push me and almost knock against me with His little head, now He would kiss me so strongly that it seemed He wanted to enclose me and identify me with Himself. While He would do this, I would feel great pain — so much so, as to feel faint. But even though He would see me suffer like that He would not pay attention to me; on the contrary, if He would see from my face that I was suffering, since I would not dare to tell Him anything, He would do it harder, and would make me suffer more. Now, after He well gave vent to Himself, He told me: “My daughter, I am your master, and I can do with you whatever I want. Know that, since you are mine, you are no longer the master of yourself; and if you arbitrate something, even just one thought, one desire, one heartbeat, know that you are making a theft from Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - October 4, 1909 Volume 9

Continuing in my state of affliction and loss of my blessed Jesus, I was all occupied in my interior, according to my usual way, with the Hours of the Passion. The hour I am talking about is that in which Jesus loaded the heavy wood of the Cross upon Himself. The whole world was present to me: past, present and future. My whole imagination seemed to see all the sins of all generations, which pressed and almost crushed benign Jesus; so much so, that the Cross was nothing but a twig of straw – a shadow of weight compared to all sins. And I tried to draw near Jesus, saying: “See, my Life, my Good, I will stay here in the place of all of them. Do You see how many waves of blasphemies? I am here to repeat that I bless You for all. How many waves of bitternesses, of hatreds, of scorns, of ingratitudes, of so very little love! And I want to soothe You for all, love You for all, thank You, adore You, honor You for all. But my reparations are cold, meager, finite. You, who are the One who is offended, are Infinite, therefore I want to render infinite also my reparations and my love; and in order to make it infinite, immense, endless, I unite myself with You, with your own Divinity – even more, with the Father and with the Holy Spirit, and I bless You with Your own blessings, I love You with Your Love, I soothe You with Your own sweetnesses, I honor You, I adore You, as You do among Yourselves, Divine Persons.”

But who can tell all the nonsense I was saying? I would never end if I wanted to say everything. When I find myself in the Hours of the Passion I feel that, together with Jesus, I too embrace the Immensity of His Work; and for all and for each one I glorify God, I repair, I impetrate for all, and therefore I find it difficult to say everything. So, while I was doing this, a thought told me: “You are thinking about the sins of others – and what about your own? Think about yourself, repair for yourself.” So I tried to think about my evils, my great miseries, the privations of Jesus caused by my sins, and getting distracted from the usual things of my interior, I cried over my great misfortune. At that moment, my always lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and with sensible voice told me: “Do you want to arbitrate yourself? The work of your interior is not yours, but Mine; you do nothing but follow Me – the rest I do all by Myself. The thought of yourself you must stop; you must do nothing but what I want, and I will take care of your evils and goods. Who can do more good to you – yourself or I?” And He showed Himself displeased. …”

So I began to follow Him, but after a little while, as I reached another point of the way to Calvary, at which, more than anywhere else, I would penetrate into the different intentions of Jesus, a thought told me: “Not only must you stop the thought of sanctifying yourself, but also that of being saved. Don’t you see that by yourself you are good at nothing? What good can ever come to you by doing this for others?” Turning to Jesus, I said to Him: “My Jesus, are Your Blood, Your pains, Your Cross not there for me? I have been so bad, that having trampled them under my feet with my sins, maybe You have exhausted them for me. But, O please! forgive me; and if You do not want to forgive me, leave me Your Will and I will be content. Your Will is everything for me. I have remained alone without You, and You alone can know the loss I suffered. I have no one; creatures without You bore me; I feel I am in this prison of my body like a slave in chains. At least, for pity’s sake, do not take your Holy Will away from me!” So, while thinking of this, I got distracted again from my interior; and Jesus, again, made me hear His voice, louder and more imposing, saying: “You don’t want to stop it? Do you want to waste my work in you?”

I don’t know… as if He had silenced my mind, I tried to follow Him and to stop it.

Divine Will for every day of the year - October 3, 1928 Volume 24

My poor mind was thinking about many things regarding the Divine Will—especially about how Its Kingdom could come, how It could spread, and many other things that it is not necessary to write on paper.  

And my Beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, if Rome has the primacy of My Church, she owes it to Jerusalem, because the beginning of Redemption was precisely in Jerusalem.  Within that homeland, from the little town of Nazareth I chose My Virgin Mother; I Myself was born in the little town of Bethlehem, and all of My Apostles were from that homeland.  And even though, ungrateful, she did not want to recognize Me and rejected the goods of My Redemption, it cannot be denied that the origin, the beginning, the first people who received the good of It, were from this city.  The first criers of the Gospel, those who established Catholicism in Rome, were My Apostles, all from Jerusalem—that is, from this homeland.

“Now there will be an exchange:  if Jerusalem gave to Rome the life of religion and therefore of Redemption, Rome will give to Jerusalem the Kingdom of the Divine Will.  And this is so true, that just as I chose a Virgin from the little town of Nazareth for the Redemption, so I have chosen another virgin in a little town of Italy belonging to Rome, to whom the mission of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat has been entrusted.  And since It must be known in Rome, just as My coming upon earth was known in Jerusalem, Rome will have the great honor of requiting Jerusalem for the great Gift received from her, which is Redemption, by making known to her the Kingdom of My Will.  

“Then will Jerusalem repent of her ingratitude, and will embrace the life of the religion that she gave to Rome; and, grateful, she will receive from Rome the life and the great Gift of the Kingdom of My Divine Will.  And not only Jerusalem, but all the other nations will receive from Rome the great Gift of the Kingdom of My Fiat, the first criers of It, Its Gospel—all full of peace, of happiness and of restoration of the creation of man. …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - October 2, 1913 Volume 11

 Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus made Himself seen inside of me, but so much identified with me that I could see His eyes within mine, His mouth within mine, and so on with the rest. While I saw Him like this, He said to me: “My daughter, look at how I identify Myself with the soul who does My Will, making Myself one with her. I become her own life, because My Will is inside and outside of that soul. One can say that My Will is like the air she breathes, which gives life to everything in her; like the light which makes everything seen and understood; like the heat which warms, fecundates and makes one grow; like the heart that palpitates; like the hands that work; like the feet that walk. When the human will unites itself to My Volition, My Life is formed in the soul.”

Then, having received Communion, I was saying to Jesus, “I love You,” and He told me: “My daughter, do you really want to love Me? Say: Jesus, I love You with Your Will. And since My Will fills Heaven and earth, your love will surround Me everywhere, and your ‘I love You’ will resound up there in the Heavens, and down to the bottom of the abysses. So, if you want to say: ‘I adore You, I bless You, I praise You, I thank You,’ you will say it united with My Will, and you will fill Heaven and earth with adorations, benedictions, praises, thanksgiving — in My Will. These are simple, easy and immense things.

"My Will is everything, to the extent that My very attributes — what are they? A simple act of My Will. Therefore, if Justice, Goodness, Wisdom, Fortitude follow their course, My Will precedes them, accompanies them, and places them in the act of operating. In sum, they do not move one point from My Volition. Therefore, whoever takes My Will takes everything; even more, she can say that her life is ended — ended the weaknesses, the temptations, the passions and the miseries — because all things lose their rights in the one who does My Will. My Will has primacy over everything, and right to all.”

[Jesus speaking]

“… Do you see, then, my daughter?  The soul who lives in My Will is in the center of My Humanity, and everything I did and suffered is all around her, and for her help.  If she is weak, it administers to her My Strength; if shaded, My Blood washes her and embellishes her; My Prayers sustain her; My Arms hold her tightly and cover her with My Works.  In sum, everything is for her defense and help.  This is why the thought of My Pains is as though natural in you – because, since you live in My Will, they surround you like many clouds of light and of grace.  Within the sphere of My Humanity, My Will placed My Works, My Steps, My Words, My Blood, My Wounds, My Pains, and everything I did, as though on the way, in order to call man and give him sufficient aids and means to save him and to make him come back again into the womb of My Will.  If My Will had wanted to enter the field on Its own in order to call man, he would have been frightened.  Instead, I wanted to call him with everything I did and suffered, like many enticements, pushes, encouragements and means, to make him return into My Arms.  So, everything I did and suffered is the carrier of man to God.  Now, one who lives in My Will, by living in the center of My Humanity, takes all the fruits of everything I did and suffered, and enters the order of Creation; and My Will fulfills in him the Full Purpose for which he was created.  Others, then, who do not live in My Will, find the means to be saved, but do not enjoy all the fruits of Creation and of Redemption.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 30, 1930 Volume 28

I was continuing my usual acts in the Divine Volition, and my poor mind paused in Eden, where God created man to give origin to the life of the creature.  

And my beloved Good, Jesus, making Himself seen all tenderness and goodness, told me:  “My daughter, Eden is field of Light in which Our Supreme Being created man.  It can be said that he was created in the Light of Our Fiat; his first act of life was Light, such that, as an interminable field of Light would extend behind and before him, to the right and to the left, he was to follow his way in order to form his life, drawing into his acts as much Light for as many acts as he would do, so as to form a Light all his own, as his property by virtue of his acts, though drawn from My Divine Will.  

“Now, here is the difference of one who operates in It as his origin and end, in which all of his acts are bound to the origin of the Light where his life was formed and had its first act of life.  The Light keeps this life in custody, defends it, and lets nothing extraneous enter into its Light, so as to form one of the portents that only the Light knows how to form.  On the other hand, one who goes down from this Light enters into the dark prison of his will, and in doing his act, he draws darkness; and he draws as much darkness for as many acts as he forms, to form for himself a property all of darkness, all his own.  

“Darkness does not know how to keep or defend one who lives in it; and if one does any good act in it, it is always tenebrous, because they are bound by darkness; and since darkness does not have the virtue of being able to defend, things enter that are extraneous to darkness itself; the bothers of weaknesses enter, the enemies of passions, the fierce thieves that hurl the creature into sin and reach the point of hurling her into eternal darkness, where there is no hope of light.  What difference between one who lives in the Light of My Divine Will and one who lives as though imprisoned in his human will.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 29, 1931 Volume 29

… Then, I continued to think about the Divine Will, and my beloved Jesus added:  “My daughter, the living in My Will is a Gift that We give to the creature—Great Gift that surpasses in Value, in Sanctity, in Beauty and in Happiness all other gifts, in an infinite and unreachable way.  When We give this Gift so Great, We do nothing other than open the doors to make her the possessor of Our Divine Possessions—the place in which passions, dangers, have no more life; nor can any enemy harm her or do her evil.  This Gift confirms the creature in Good, in Love, in the very Life of her Creator; and the Creator remains confirmed in the creature; therefore, the inseparability takes place between one and the other.  With this Gift the creature will feel her lot changed:  from poor to rich, from ill to perfectly healed, from unhappy, she will feel that all things change for her into happiness.  

“To live in Our Will as Gift greatly differs from doing It; the first is prize, and Our Decision to win the creature, with an invincible and irresistible force; to fill the human will with Our own in a sensible way, in a way that she will touch with her own hand, and with clarity, the great good that comes to her, such that only someone who is insane would flee from such a great good.  In fact, for as long as the soul is a pilgrim one, the doors do not close behind the Gift, but remain open, so that, freely, not being forced, she may live in Our Gift; more so, since Our Will will not give this Gift by necessity, but because It loves her, and It is fully her own.  

“On the other hand, to do Our Will is not prize, but duty and necessity, to which, willingly or unwillingly, she must submit; and the things that are done out of duty and out of necessity, if they can be shunned, are shunned, because in them does not enter the spontaneous love that makes one love and recognize Our Will as Worthy of being be loved and known.  The necessity hides Its Good that It contains, and makes one feel the weight of the sacrifice and of the duty.  On the other hand, the living in Our Will is not sacrifice, but Conquest; it is not duty, but Love.  She feels, in Our Gift, her own self dissolved within It, and she loves It not only as Our Will, but also because It is exclusively hers; and by not giving It the first place, the regime, the dominion, she would not love herself.

“Now, My daughter, this is what We want to give to creatures—Our Will as Gift, because by looking at It and possessing It as one’s own thing, it will turn out easy to let It form Its Kingdom.  This Gift was given to man in Eden, and, ungrateful, he rejected It back to Us.  But We did not change Our Will—We keep It reserved, and what one rejects, with more surprising graces We keep prepared to give It to others.  Nor do We care about the time, because centuries for Us are like one single point.  However, great preparations are needed on the part of creatures—to know the Great Good of the Gift in order to long for It.  But the time will come when Our Will will be possessed as Gift by the creature.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 28, 1928 Volume 24

… After this, I was continuing my acts in the Divine Volition, and my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, great graces have I given to you and, through you, to the whole world by manifesting to you so many Truths about My Divine Will.  In fact, not only are My Truths Divine Lives that My Highest Goodness puts out, bilocating this Life of Its own for as many Truths as It manifests, but each of these Lives contains a Happiness, one distinct from the other, to be communicated to creatures; and a Glory, one different from the other, that creatures can give to He who has manifested it.  

“However, these Happinesses will be communicated to creatures when they come to know these Truths.  They are like as many queens, each of whom possesses properties, vast and distinct from one another, and they are waiting for the peoples to know that these queens exist, and that they contain their properties, and yearn and want to enrich and make happy the ones because of whom they were issued from Our Divine womb.  

“And if you knew how suffocated Our Love remains, after having released so many Happinesses from Our Paternal Womb for as many Truths as We have manifested, in seeing that creatures do not enjoy these feasts, nor give Us the glory that they should give Us, because they ignore such a Great Good, and only because they do not want to occupy themselves with making known a Good and Graces so great.  This is a Sorrow for Us that you cannot comprehend; therefore, pray—pray incessantly that My Divine Will be known and Reign in the midst of creatures, so that, as Father, I may break the Bread of Happiness for My children.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 27, 1904 Volume 6

Continuing in my usual state, I saw my blessed Jesus for just a little, almost in the act of chastising the people; and as I prayed Him to placate Himself, He told me:  “My daughter, human ingratitude is horrendous.  Not only the Sacraments, Grace, the Enlightenments, the aids which I give to man, but the very natural qualities I have given him, are all lights that serve man to set him on the path of good, so that he may find his happiness.  But man, converting all this into darkness, seeks his own ruin, and while seeking his ruin he says he seeks ‘my own good.’  This is the condition of man.  Can there be blindness and ingratitude greater than these?  Daughter, the only relief and pleasure that the creature can give Me in these times is to sacrifice herself voluntarily for Me.  In fact, since My Sacrifice for them was all voluntary, wherever I find the will to sacrifice for Me, I feel as though repaid for what I did for them.  Therefore, if you want to relieve Me and give Me pleasure, sacrifice yourself voluntarily for Me.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 26, 1904 Volume 6

Then, after this, I saw blessed Jesus for just a little, and He told me:  “My daughter…” (and this, because I was thinking of how Our Lord let Himself be crowned with thorns, not once, but as many as three times; and since those thorns, broken, remained inside His head, as the crown of thorns would be driven in again the thorns which were already there would penetrate deeper.  And I said:  ‘My sweet love, why did You want to suffer this painful martyrdom as many as three times?  Was one time not enough to pay for our evil thoughts?’)  …So, making Himself seen, He said: “My daughter, not only was the crowning with thorns triple, but almost all the pains I suffered in My Passion were triple.  Triple were the three hours of agony in the garden; triple was the scourging, as they scourged Me with three different types of lashes; three times did they strip Me, and as many as three times was I condemned to death: at nighttime, early in the morning, and in broad daylight.  Triple were My falls under the Cross; triple the nails; three times did My Heart pour out blood: in the garden by Itself; in the act of the crucifixion from Its very center, when I was stretched well on the Cross — so much so that My Body was all dislocated and My Heart was smashed inside and poured out blood; and after My Death, when My Side was opened with a lance.  Triple were the three hours of Agony on the Cross.  If one wanted to ruminate on everything – oh, how many ‘triples’ he would find!  And this was not by chance, but everything was so because of Divine Disposition, to render the Glory due to the Father Complete, as well as the reparation owed to Him by creatures and the good to be earned for creatures themselves.  In fact, the greatest good that the creature has received from God was being created in His Image and Likeness, and endowed with three powers – intellect, memory and will – and there is no sin that the creature commits in which these three powers do not concur.  So, she stains and disfigures the beautiful Divine Image that she contains within herself, using the gift to offend the Giver.  And I, in order to restore this Divine Image in the creature and to give God all the Glory that the creature owed Him, concurred with all My Intellect, Memory and Will, in a special way with these ‘triples’ suffered by Me, in order to render both the Glory due to the Father and the good which was necessary for creatures complete.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 25, 1913 Volume 11

I had told my Confessor that Jesus had said to me that the Will of God is the center of the soul; that this center is in the depth of the soul, and that, spreading Its Rays like the Sun, It gives Light to the mind, Sanctity to the actions, Strength to the steps, Life to the heart, Power to the word and to everything; and not only this, but also that while this center — the Will of God — is inside of us, so that we may never escape from It, and so as to remain at our continuous disposal, never leaving us alone or separated even for a minute - at the same time, it is also in front of us, on our right, on our left, behind and everywhere, and it will be our center also in Heaven. The Confessor was saying, instead, that the Most Holy Eucharist is our center. 

Now, blessed Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, I had to do in such a way that sanctity might be easy and accessible to all - unless they did not want it - in all conditions, in all circumstances and in every place. It is true that the Most Holy Eucharist is center; but who instituted It? Who constrained My Humanity so that It might be enclosed within the little circle of a Host? Wasn’t that My Will? My Will will always have Primacy over everything. Further, if everything is in the Eucharist, the Priests who call Me from Heaven into their hands, and who are in contact with My Sacramental Flesh more than anyone should be the most saintly and the most good; instead, many are the worst. Poor Me, how they treat Me in the Holy Eucharist! And the many souls who receive Me, perhaps every day, should be many saints if the center of the Eucharist were sufficient. Instead — and it makes one want to cry — they remain always at the same point: vain, irascible, punctilious, etc. Poor center of the Most Holy Eucharist, how dishonored It remains!

“On the other hand, there might be a mother who does My Will and cannot receive Me every day because of her conditions, not because she doesn’t want to. She is patient, charitable, and carries the fragrance of My Eucharistic virtues within herself. Ah, is it perhaps the Sacrament or, rather, My Will to which she is submitted, that keeps her subdued and compensates for the Most Holy Sacrament? Even more, I tell you that the Sacraments themselves produce fruits depending on how the souls are submitted to My Will. They produce effects according to the connection that the souls have with My Volition. And if there’s no link with My Will, they may receive Communion, but they will remain on an empty stomach; they may go to Confession, but remain still dirty; they may come before My Sacramental Presence, but if our wills do not meet, I will be as if dead for them, because My Will produces all the goods and gives life even to the Sacraments only in the soul who submits herself to It. Those who do not understand this are babies in religion.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 24, 1928 Volume 24

… After this, I continued thinking:  “And why has the Lord so much interest, and He loves so much that His Holy Will be known and Reign in the midst of creatures?”  

And my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, because the first purpose, act and end of Creation was that Our Divine Will alone Reign; and in order for It to Reign, it is necessary to know It.  It was Our Will that entered the field of action in Creation, that imposed Itself on the ‘nothing’ with Its Creating Fiat, and created heavens, suns and many beautiful works—and also man.  And in all the works It created It placed the Seal of Its Omnipotent Fiat as the indelible sign that It would remain inside each of Its Works as ruling King inside his Kingdom.  

“So, the Purpose of Creation was not Our Power, Our Goodness, Our Justice, Our Immensity, and the like; and if all of these, Our Attributes, concurred in It, it was as consequence, not as Purpose.  And if We do not obtain the Purpose, it is for Us as if We had done nothing; and since all created things were made for man, and man for Us, here is why, by necessity of Love, by right of Justice, for the Honor and Decorum of Ourselves and of all Our Works, and as the fulfillment of Our Purpose, We want Our Divine Will to Reign in man as origin, life and end of his whole being.  

“If you knew how much My Fiat suffers in looking at man; It looks at him, and says in Its sorrow:  ‘I made him, truly, with My creative hands; he is My work, he is truly the one whom I so much delighted in creating.  Yet, I am not inside of him as in My Kingdom; he broke My Seal, and putting Me out, he destroys for Me the purpose for which I gave him life.’  

“See then, how it is of absolute necessity that My Divine Will be known and Reign; and until It does, Our most beautiful works cannot produce for man the goods that they contain; the very work of Redemption is without fulfillment.” …

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 23, 1926 Volume 20

… I was frightened, and I wanted to relieve Jesus from His affliction, so I said to Him:  “Jesus, my Life, for now let us occupy ourselves with the Kingdom of Your Will, so that You may be relieved.  I know that giving You field to let You speak about It is Your Joy, Your Feast.  Therefore, Your Acts flow with me, within mine, so that, with the Light of Your Will, more than sun, they may invest all creatures, and I may constitute myself act for each act, thought for each thought.  I will enclose everything, I will take all of their acts as though in my power, in order to do everything that they do not do for You; and in this way, You will find everything in me and Your affliction will depart from Your Heart.”  

And Jesus, condescending to my yearnings, went around together with me, and then told me:  “My daughter, what power My Will contains.  It penetrates everywhere as light, It expands, It gives Itself to each act, It multiplies Itself to Infinity.  But while It does so many things and multiplies in each thing, It remains always One, as It is, keeping all of Its Acts, without dispersing even one of them.  …”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 22, 1924 Volume 17

… And Jesus: “My daughter, living in My Will brings with itself the loss of any right of one’s own will. All the rights belong to the Divine Will, and if the soul does not lose all of her rights, it cannot be called true living in My Will; at the most, she lives resigned, conformed. In fact, living in My Will is not only that she does her action according to My Will, but that in all of the interior of the creature, she gives no place to one affection, one thought or one desire, or even one breath, in which My Will does not have Its place. Nor would My Will tolerate even one human affection of which It is not the Life; It would feel disgusted in letting the soul live in My Will with her own affections, thoughts, and other things which a human will could have without the Divine.

“And do you think it is easy that a soul would willingly lose her rights? Oh, how difficult it is! There are souls who, when they reach the point of losing all the rights over their own will, draw back and content themselves with conducting a life in the middle, because to lose her rights is the greatest sacrifice that a creature could do; but it is the one which disposes My Goodness to open the doors of My Will, giving her My Divine Rights in exchange, by letting her live in It. Therefore, be attentive, and never go out of the boundaries of My Will.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 21, 1913 Volume 11

This morning my always adorable Jesus made Himself seen with unspeakable sweetness and affability, as if He wanted to tell me something very dear to Him and very surprising for me. So, hugging me and pressing me to His Heart, He told me: “My beloved daughter, all the things that the soul does in My Will and together with Me — prayers, actions, steps, etc. — acquire My same Qualities, the same Life and the same Value. See, all the things that I did upon earth — prayers, sufferings, works — are all in action, and will remain in Eternity for the good of whoever wants them. My Work differs from the work of the creatures. Containing within Myself the Creative Power, I Speak and I Create, just as one day I spoke and created the Sun. It is as if this Sun, which is always full of light and heat that never decreases, remained in the act of receiving Continuous Creation from Me. Such was My Work on earth. Since I contain the Creative Power within Me, the Prayers, the Steps, the Works which I did, and the blood which I shed remain in Continuous Act of praying, working, walking, etc., just as the Sun is in continuous act of giving light. Therefore, My Prayers continue, My Steps are always in the Act of running after souls; and so on with the rest. Otherwise, what would be the great difference between My Work and the work of My Saints? 

“Now, My daughter, listen to a beautiful — beautiful thing, not yet understood by creatures: all the things that the soul does together with Me and in My Will are like My own things; and they remain as her own. The connection of My Will and the work done together with Me participate in My same Creative Power.” I remained ecstatic, with a joy that I could not contain, and I said: “Is all this possible, O Jesus?” And He: “Whoever does not understand this can say that he does not know Me.” And He disappeared. But I cannot say it well, and I don’t know how to explain myself better. Who can tell all that He made me understand? Rather, it seems to me that I’ve just said nonsense.

Divine Will for every day of the year - September 20, 1913 Volume 11

I was thinking about my current state - how little or nothing I suffer. And Jesus, immediately: “My daughter, everything which happens around and inside the soul - bitterness, pleasures, contrasts, deaths, privations, contentments, and other things - is nothing other than My continuous crafting in order to have My Will fulfilled and accomplished in her. When I obtain this, all is done and, consequently, all is peace. It seems that even suffering wants to stay away from that soul, in seeing that the Divine Volition is more than suffering itself, and that It replaces everything within the soul, surpassing everything. It seems that all things revere My Will. And when the soul reaches this point - of using everything in order to let Me accomplish the crafting of My Volition - once this is done, I Myself prepare her for Heaven.”

Most loving Jesus continued: “If Faith is the king, Charity is queen, and Hope is like the peacemaking mother who pacifies everything. In fact, with Faith and Charity there may be disturbance, but Hope, being bond of peace, converts everything into peace. Hope is support, Hope is refreshment; and when the soul, rising by means of Faith, sees the beauty, the sanctity and the love with which she is loved by God, and feels drawn to love Him, but in seeing her insufficiency, how little she does for God, and how she should love Him but does not, she feels discomforted, disturbed and almost does not dare to draw near God – immediately this peacemaking mother comes out, and placing herself between Faith and Charity, she begins to perform her office of peacemaker. She makes the soul peaceful again, she pushes her, raises her, gives her new strengths; and carrying her before king Faith and queen Charity, she excuses the soul, she places a new effusion of her merits before the soul, and she prays them to receive her. And Faith and Charity, with their gazes fixed only on this peacemaking mother, so tender and compassionate, receive the soul, and God forms the delight of the soul, and the soul the delight of God.”

After struggling very much, I was feeling all oppressed and almost a little disturbed, thinking about why my adorable Jesus was not coming. Then, He came in passing and told me: “My daughter, peace is light for the soul, light for her neighbor, and light for God. Therefore, a soul who is at peace is always light, and being light, she is always united to the Eternal Light from which she draws ever new light so as to be able to give light to others also. So, if you want ever new light, be at peace.”

… Then He [Jesus] added:  “Everyone can share in the merits and in the goods produced by the Sorrows of My Mother.  One who, in advance, places herself in the hands of Providence, offering herself to suffer any kind of pains, miseries, illnesses, calumnies, and everything which the Lord will dispose upon her, comes to participate in the first Sorrow of the prophecy of Simeon.  One who actually finds herself amid sufferings, and is resigned, clings more tightly to Me and does not offend Me, it is as if she were saving Me from the hands of Herod, keeping Me safe and sound within the Egypt of her heart - and she participates in the second Sorrow.  One who feels downhearted, dry and deprived of My Presence, and remains yet firm and faithful to her usual practices - even more, she takes the opportunity to love Me and to search for Me more, without tiring - comes to participate in the merits and goods which My Mother acquired when I was lost.  One who, in any circumstance she encounters, especially in seeing Me gravely offended, despised, trampled upon, tries to repair Me, to compassionate Me, and to pray for the very ones who offend Me – it is as if I encountered in that soul My own Mother who, if She could have done it, would have freed Me from My enemies; and she participates in the fourth Sorrow.  One who crucifies her senses for love of My Crucifixion, and tries to copy the virtues of My Crucifixion within herself, participates in the fifth one.  One who is in a continuous attitude of adoring, of kissing My Wounds, of repairing, of thanking etc., in the name of all mankind, it is as if she were holding Me in her arms, just as My Mother held Me when I was deposed from the Cross - and she participates in the sixth Sorrow.  One who remains in My Grace and corresponds to it, giving a place to no one else but Me within her heart, it is as if she buried Me in the center of her heart - and she participates in the seventh one.”
