Jesus is the Word which multiplies in every act of all creatures, together with the One who lives in His volition. I was dying because of the continuous privations of my sweet Jesus. This morning, I found myself completely in Jesus, as if I were swimming in the immensity of my highest good. Then I looked inside myself, and I saw Jesus and me. I could hear the whole being of Jesus speaking; His feet, His hands, His heart, His mouth, in some everything. Not only were they voices, but the wonder is that these voices became immense, multiplying themselves for every creature. The feet of Jesus spoke to the feet and to each step of the creatures; His hands to their works; His eyes to their glances; His thoughts to each one of their thoughts. What harmonies between Creator and creatures! What an enchanting sight! What love!
But alas, all these harmonies were broken by ingratitudes and sins. Love was repaid with offenses, and Jesus, all afflicted, told me: "My daughter, I am the Word, and my love toward the creature is so great that I multiply Myself into as many voices for as many acts, thoughts, affections, desires, and so forth, as each creature does, in order to receive from them the return of those acts done for love of Me. I give love and I want love, but I receive offenses instead. I give life, but if they could, they would give Me death. But in spite of all this, I continue My loving office. However, know that the soul who lives united with Me and from My volition, swimming in My immensity, becomes one voice together with Me. And therefore, if she walks, her steps speak, pursuing the sinner; her thoughts are voices to the minds, and so on with everything else. Only from these souls do I find My reward, beginning with the work of creation, and in seeing that, unable to do anything by themselves to correspond to My love and maintain the harmonies between Myself and them, they enter into My will, taking ownership and acting in a divine manner. My love finds its outpouring, and I love them more than all other creatures."

"Greater things are done after the minor ones, and are the fulfillment and crowning of those." The resurrected Humanity of Jesus, symbol of those who will live in His will.
I was fusing myself in the Holy Will of my always lovable Jesus, and together with my Jesus, my intelligence was wandering in the work of creation, adoring and thanking Supreme Majesty for everything and for everyone. And my Jesus, all affability, told me: "My daughter, in creating the heavens first, I made the stars as minor spheres, and then I created the Sun as the major sphere, endowing it with so much light as to eclipse all the stars, as though hiding them within itself and constituting it the king of the stars and of all nature. It is my usual way to do minor things first, as preparation for greater ones, these being the crowning of the minor things. While being my relator, the Sun also conceals the souls who will form their sanctity in my will. The Saints who lived in the mirror of my humanity, as if in the shadow of my will, will be the stars. The former souls, although coming later in time, will be the sons. I maintained this order also in Redemption. My birth was without glamour; rather, it was neglected. My childhood was without splendor of great things before men. My life in Nazareth was so hidden that I lived as if ignored by all. I adapted myself to do the smallest and most common things of human life. During my public life, there were a few great things, but still, who knew my divinity? Nobody, not even all of the apostles. I passed through the crowds like any other man, so much so that anyone could approach me, talk to me, and if needed, even despise me."
And I, interrupting Jesus, said: "Jesus, my love, how happy those times were! And even happier those people who, just by wanting it, could come close to You, talk to You, and be with You."
And Jesus: "How, my daughter? Only my will brings true happiness. It alone encloses all goods within the soul and, making itself crown around the soul, constitutes her queen of true happiness. Only these souls will be the Queens of my throne because they are a birth from my will. This is so true that those people were not happy. Many saw me but did not know me because my will did not reside within them, center of life. Therefore, even if they saw me, they remained unhappy. Only those who received the good of receiving the seed of my will and their hearts disposed themselves to receive the good of seeing me resurrected."
"Now, the portent of my Redemption was the Resurrection, which more than refueled and sun-crowned my humanity, making even my most tiny acts shine with such splendor and marvel as to astonish heaven and earth. The Resurrection will be the beginning, the foundation, and the fulfillment of all goods, crown and glory of all the blessed. My Resurrection is the true Sun which worthily glorifies my humanity. It is the son of the Catholic religion; it is the glory of every Christian. Without Resurrection, it would have been as though heavens without sun, without heat, and without life. See now, my Resurrection is the symbol of the souls who will form their sanctity in my will. The Saints of the past centuries symbolize my humanity, although resigned, they did not have continuous act in my will; therefore, they did not receive the mark of the son of my Resurrection, but the mark of the works of my humanity before my Resurrection. Therefore, they will be many, almost like stars; they will form a beautiful ornament to the heaven of my humanity. But the Saints of the Living in my will, who will symbolize my resurrected humanity, will be few. In fact, many throngs and crowds of people saw my humanity, but few saw my resurrected humanity. Only the believers, those who were most disposed, and I could say, only those who contained the seed of my will. In fact, if they did not have that seed, they would have lacked the necessary sight to be able to see my resurrected and glorious humanity and therefore be spectators of my ascent into heaven. Now, if my Resurrection symbolizes the Saints of the Living in my will, and this with reason, since each act, word, step, and so forth, done in my will is a divine resurrection that the soul receives, it is a mark of glory that she receives, it is to go out of herself in order to enter the divinity and to love, work, and think, hiding herself in the refuge and son of my volition. What is the wonder if the soul remains fully risen and identified with the very Son of my glory and symbolizes my resurrected humanity? But few are those who disposed themselves to this, because even in sanctity, souls want something for their own good, while the sanctity of living in my will has nothing of its own; everything is of God. It takes too much for souls to dispose themselves to this, to strip themselves of their own goods; therefore, they will not be many. You are not in the number of the many, but of the few, and therefore be always attentive to the call and to your continuous flight."

Cause of the pains of Jesus: the love of souls.
I was lamenting to my sweet Jesus about my sorrowful state, telling Him: "Tell me, my love, where are You? Which way did You take in going away, so that I can follow You? Show me Your footprints, so that step by step I will be able to find You with certainty. Oh Jesus, I can no longer go on without You! But although You are far away, I send You my kisses. I kissed that hand which no longer hugs me; I kissed that mouth which no longer speaks to me; I kissed that face which I no longer see; I kissed those feet which no longer walked toward me but turned their steps somewhere else. Huh, Jesus, how sad is my state! What cruel end was awaiting me!"
While I was saying this and much more nonsense, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me: "My daughter, calm yourself. For one who lives in my will, all points are sure ways to find me. My will fills everything; whatever road one may take, there is no fear that she may not be able to find me. How, my daughter? I feel your sorrowful state in my heart. I feel the current of sorrow which passed between me and my Mama being repeated again. She was crucified because of my pains; I was crucified because of hers. But what was the cause of all this? Love for souls! For love of them, my dear Mama bore all my pains, and even my death. And for love of souls, I bore all her pains, to the extent of depriving her of me. Oh, how much it cost my love and her maternal love to deprive my inseparable Mama of me! But love for souls triumphed over all."
"Now, it was for love of souls that you submitted to your state of victim; for love of them, you accepted all the pains that occurred in your life. Because of souls and of the sad times which are coming, my divine justice prevents me from being with you in a familiar way, in order to permit more favorable times to come rather than warlike, and keep you on earth. It is because of souls. If it wasn't for the love of souls, exile would be finished, and you would not have the pain of seeing yourself deprived of me, nor would I have the pain of seeing you so tortured because of my privation. And therefore, patience, and let the love of souls triumph in you as well, to the end."

The mission of the Divine Will is eternal, and it is precisely the mission of our Celestial Father.
I write only to obey and to my great repugnance. After a holy priest had read my writings, he had let me know that in certain chapters, Blessed Jesus was exalting me too much, to the point of telling me that He placed me near His Celestial Mama, that she being my model. Hearing this, I felt confused and troubled. I remembered that I had written this only to obey and to my great repugnance, and that I was connected to the mission of making the Divine Will known. And I lamented to my Jesus for having told me this, while I am so bad, and He alone knows all my miseries. This confused and humiliated me so much, just to give me no peace. I felt such a distance between me and the Celestial Mother, as if there was an abyss of distance between me and her.
Then, while I was so troubled, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior and, clasping me tightly in His arms to infuse peace, He told me: "My daughter, why do you trouble yourself so much? Don't you know that peace is the smile of the soul? It is the azure and serene sky in which the Divine Sun makes its light blaze more vividly, in such a way as to let no cloud arise above the horizon which might occupy the line. Peace is the beneficial dew which vivifies everything and beautifies the soul within, enrapturing beauty and attracting the continuous kiss of my will upon her. And besides, what is it that opposes the truth? Where is this exalting you too much? Only because I told you that I placed you near my divine Mother, because she, having been the depository of all the goods of my Redemption, as my Mother, as Virgin, as Queen, I placed her at the head of all the redeemed ones, giving her a distinct, unique, and special mission which no one else will be given. The very apostles and the whole Church depend upon her and received from her. There is no good which she does not possess; all goods come from her. It was right that, as my Mother, I was to entrust everything and everyone to her maternal heart, embracing everything and being able to give everything to everyone was only of my Mother."
"Now, I repeat to you that just as I placed my Mama at the head of all and I deposited in her all the goods of Redemption, so I chose another virgin whom I placed near her, giving her the mission of making my Divine Will known. And if Redemption is great, my Will is even greater. And just as for Redemption there was a beginning in time, not an eternity, in the same way for my Divine Will, though it is eternal, there wants to be the beginning in time of its making itself known. Therefore, because my Will exists in heaven and on earth, and the sole and only one which possesses all goods, I was to choose a creature to whom I was to entrust the deposit of the knowledge of it, making known to her, as to a second Mother, the qualities, the value, the prerogatives of it, that she might love it and jealously keep the deposit of it. And just as my Celestial Mother, true depository of the goods of Redemption, is generous with whomever wants of them, so will this second Mother be generous in making known to all the deposit of my teachings, the sanctity of it, the good that my Divine Will wants to give. How it lives unknown in the midst of creatures, and how from the beginning of the creation of man, it yearns, it prays, it supplicates that man returned to his origin, that is, into my Will, and that the rights of its sovereignty over creatures be given back to it. My Redemption was won, and I made use of my dear Mother in order to carry it out. My Will also is won, and I was to make use of another creature and, placing her as though at the head and forming the deposit in her, she was to serve me to make my teachings known and to fulfill the designs of my Divine Will."
"So, where is this exalting you too much? Who can deny that the Redemption and the fulfillment of my Will are two unique and similar missions, such that as they hold each other's hand, my Will will make the fruits of Redemption be completed and the rights of creation be given back to us, placing the seal on the purpose for which all things were created. This is why this knowledge of the mission of our Will interests us so much, because nothing else will do what's good to creatures as it will. It will be the fulfillment and the crowning of all our works. Furthermore, of David it was said that he was an image of me, so much so that all of his psalms reveal my person; of Saint Francis of Assisi, that he was a faithful copy of me; it is said in the Holy Gospel, 'Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.' No less, it is also added that no one will enter the kingdom of Heaven if he is not similar to the image of the Son of God. And many other things. About all these, no one says that they have been exalted too much, and that these are things not conforming to truth spoken by my very mouth. Only because to you I said that I wanted to compare you to the Virgin, to make you her faithful copy, I have exalted you too much. So, comparing those to me was not exalting them, nor did anyone raise any doubt or difficulty. But then, comparing to the Virgin, that's too much exaltation! This means that they have not understood well the mission of the knowledge of my Will. Indeed, I repeat to you that I not only place you near her as her little daughter, on her maternal lap, that she may guide you, instruct you on how you must imitate her to become her faithful copy by always doing the Divine Will, so that from her lap you may pass onto the lap of the Divinity. In fact, the mission of my Will is eternal, and it is precisely the mission of our Celestial Father, who wants, commands, expects nothing else but that His Will be known and loved, that it be done on earth as it is in Heaven. So, you making this eternal mission your own and imitating the Celestial Father, must want nothing else for yourself and for all but that my Will be known, loved, and fulfilled. And besides, when it is the creature who exalts herself, one should think about it. But when she remains at her place and I exalt her, all is permissible to me, making one reach wherever I want and the way I want. And therefore, trust me and do not be concerned."

Those who live in the Divine Will move in the Fiat. Just by breathing, they can feel within themselves the whole Heavenly Court, its breathing, its motion, and its virtue of conquest and happiness.
Painful conditions for the Divine Will when it is rejected.
My poor mind runs, flies in the Divine Will toward its center to rest, to leave its remains and to take in exchange the clothing of its light, its breathing, its heartbeat, and its motion that moves in all and gives life to all. Now, how I was swimming in the ocean of joys of the Divine Fiat! My always adorable Jesus, doing His short little visit with unspeakable love, told me: "My little daughter of my Will, how beautiful it is to live in my Will! As the soul enters it, she breathes with our breathing, beats with our heartbeat, and moves in our motion, in communion with all. She does what the Angels, the Saints, and all created things do, and makes everybody do what she is doing. The wonders contained in our way are astonishing; the scenes are so touching and unique as to capture everybody, making all attentive in enjoying them. Who knows what they would do to enjoy a spectator such delightful scenes from the soul who lives in the Divine Will!"
"Now, you must know that as the soul enters my Divine Will, she breathes, palpitates, and moves in our motion, but she does not lose her own breath, heartbeat, and motion, although it is never detached from ours, since our Will is everywhere and circulates more than the breathing, heartbeat, and motion of all. Then what happens? The Angels and the Saints, the very Divinity, and the whole creation, together with my Will, feel the breathing and the heartbeat of the creature within them. They all feel her moving inside, even to the center of their souls. They are full of happiness, of new unspeakable joys that the pilgrim soul brings to each blessed. Since this soul is not enjoying but suffering and conquering with her free will, it is merely by breathing, palpitating, and moving in the fullness of joy that the soul, always united to my Will, brings ever new joys from breathing in her own Will. And since it is the free will that forms the conquering act of the creature, she gives me this new conquering flavor. Oh, how happy the Blessed, our own Divinity, and the whole creation remain! And in an emphasis of love and fullness of joy, they say: 'Who is breathing, palpitating, and moving in us? Who from the earth is bringing the conquering act of pure joys, of new love that we do not have in Heaven and that makes us so happy, increasing in us our reciprocating love?' And all in chorus: 'It is so who lives in the Divine Will on earth!' What prodigies! What wonders! How enchanting the scenes! A breathing that breathes in all, even in its Creator; that moves in all, even through Heaven, in the stars, in the Sun, in the air, in the wind, in the ocean; it takes everything in hand and its own motion and gives to God love and adoration, all that everyone should give but has never given. She gives to all her God, His love, His Will, and she brings everything to God and God to everybody. Even if not all creatures would take us, we remain equally loved and glorified because such is the fullness of one act, one motion in our Will that all those creatures remain like many little drops of water before an immense ocean, like many little flames before the great light of the Sun. Therefore, this motion, breathing, and palpitating of the creature in our Will abounds in all, hugs eternity, suns and oceans are formed so immense that they can give us everything, and even if others do not accept this life, they remain so small that it is as if they didn't exist. Oh, my Will, how admirable, powerful, and adorable You are! The creature and You can give us all, and we can give all to her. She covers everything and everyone; she makes love arise with her light and gives us love for all. We can say she offers true reparation because when the creatures offend us, we find that she can make us in her love in order to love us, and inside her light to defend us, putting to flight with her light those who would want to wound us. Therefore, always cherish in your heart living in our Will."
Then he added: "My daughter, the love for one who lives in our Will is so great that as she breathes, she gives us as a gift all that we have done: the creation, the Angels, the Saints, our own Supreme Being, our love and glory. So taken by such access of love, we give her back what she has given us. As she exhales, she returns to us all that we are; as she inhales, we return to her what she gave us. We are in continuous relation and exchange of gifts. By this, we continuously strengthen our love, our inseparability, and we feel so much delight that we give her all that she wants."
But alas, I was feeling drowned in the Divine Will. The thought of my poor state was troubling me, the fact that I had to succumb to a sort of death every night for fifty years and more, until someone would come to get me out of that state. "My God, I feel such pain! You know how much pain and how much it costs me! Only the fear of displeasing You and not doing Your Will holds me on, otherwise, who knows what I would do not to be submitted to this!"
And my sweet Jesus ran toward me and, squeezing me tight in His arms, told me: "My good daughter, be of good cheer; do not be too worried. I do not want you worried. It is your Jesus who wants this painful state for you, this succumbing as if you were losing your life. I suffer it together with you, since true love cannot deny anything to the loved one. And then, the state of your so painful, as if losing your life, was necessary and wanted by my Divine Will. It wanted to find in you the return and reparation for the many deaths that creatures inflict upon it when they reject it, not giving it life within themselves. Submitting yourself for so long to these pains of death repaid my Divine Will for the many deaths given to it and called it to kiss the human Will to make peace. It is thanks to this I could speak so much about my Will. You must know that anything the creature does in my Will runs to give and form life within it; otherwise, not receiving it, my life dies for her. Do you think it's nothing for me this great pain of seeing so many of my divine lives dead for the creatures? And therefore, it was necessary to find one who in some way would reignite my yearning to form my life in them. My Will is in the same condition as a poor mother who was ready to deliver but is prevented from giving life, and this life suffocates in her own womb. Poor mother, she feels her baby dying in her womb, and she dies of pain with him. Such is my Will; it feels in itself the birth of many divine lives already mature that it wants to give to the creatures, but as it is about to deliver them, it feels them suffocating in its womb. The new life dies, and my Will with it, since there cannot be a true life of sanctity, love, or anything belonging to our divine life without my Will. Therefore, my daughter, calm down and do not think about it any more. If we did this, we did it with the highest wisdom, with love that we could not contain, and for the sake of the order that we keep in our works. It is necessary to bend and adore what we disposed for love of the creatures."
