July 18th, 1899. Vol. 2. House Sacramental. Jesus and the Soul draw and bind each other. It continues almost always in the same way. This time it seemed that in my heart there was sacramental Jesus spreading many rays, and my interior from the holy host, many threads were coming out of my heart, which intertwined with all those rays of light. It seemed to me that Jesus, with his love, was drawing all of my heart to himself, and my heart, with those threads, was drawing and binding all of Jesus to remain within me.
July 18th, 1903. The sins of the people fall upon them and cause their ruin. As I was in my usual state, I saw my adorable Jesus for just a little, pale, afflicted inside my heart. And I also saw many people committing many sins. These sins were setting out toward me to come to wound my beloved Lord, even inside my heart. But Jesus would push them away from himself, and they would come to fall upon the people themselves, and in falling upon them, they would form their own ruin, changing into many kinds of scourges over the people's, such as to horrify the hardest hearts. And then, all grieved, Jesus told me, "My daughter, to what extent reaches the blindness of men, while they tried to wound me, and they wound themselves with their own hands."
July 18th, 1905. Volume 6. The soul must not open her interior to others, only to the Confessor. After I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me, "My daughter, when a confessor manifests to the souls his way of operating in their interior, he loses the drive to continue to operate, and the soul, knowing the purpose that the Confessor has over her, will become negligent and nervous in her operating. In the same way, if the soul manifests her interior to others in revealing her secret, her drive will evaporate, and she will be left all weakened. And if this does not happen when she opens herself to the Confessor, it is because the power of the sacrament keeps the steam, increases the strength, and places its steel upon it."
July 18th, 1917. Vol. 12. The soul who lives in the Divine Will lives in Jesus at his expense. Continuing in my usual state, I was trying to pour all of myself into the holy will of Jesus, and I prayed him to pour all of himself into me, in such a way that I would no longer feel myself, but only Jesus. And blessed Jesus came and told me, "My daughter, when the soul lives in my will, and everything she does, she does in my volition, I feel her everywhere. I feel her in my mind, and her thoughts flow within mine, and as I diffused the life of intelligence in the creatures, she diffuses herself together with me in the minds of creatures. And as she sees that I am being offended, she feels my pain. I feel her in my heartbeat, even more. I feel one heartbeat or two inside my heart, and as my love pours into the creatures, she pours herself together with me and loves with me. And if I am not loved, she loves me for everyone to repay me in love, and she consoles me in my desires. I feel the desire of the soul who lives in my will, and my works, I feel hers, and so with everything. Therefore, one can say that she lives at my expense. And I, I love you. Do everything by yourself and do not need the creature. Why then do you love so much that the creature live in your will and of your will?" Then Jesus, "Indeed, I need nothing, and I do everything by myself, but in order to have life, love once its outpouring. Imagine a Sun which needs no light; it is sufficient for itself and for others. But still, since there are other little lights, even if it does not need them, it wants them within itself for company, to pour itself out, and to enlarge the little lights. What wrong would the little lights not commit if they refused?" My daughter, when the will is alone, it is always sterile. When it is alone, love languishes and dies down. And I love the creature so much that I want her united with my will so as to render her fecund and give her the life of love. And I find my outpouring, since I created the creature only to pour out my love, for nothing else. So this is all my commitment.
July 18th, 1926. Vol. 19. Your Lord did not manifest the kingdom of his will when he came upon earth. My poor mind was thinking about what is written above, and my sweet Jesus continued on the same topic, telling me, "My daughter, see then the necessity for me not to give the kingdom of my will and not to make it known when I came upon earth. I wanted to test that creature once again. I wanted to give her things inferior to those which I gave her in creation, remedies and goods to heal her. In fact, when I created man, he was not ill but healthy and holy. Therefore, he could very well live in the kingdom of my will. But as he withdrew from the supreme volition, he fell ill, and I came upon earth as the celestial doctor to see whether he would accept the remedies, the medicines for his onus. And after this test, then would I give him the surprise of manifesting the kingdom of my will, which I kept in my humanity prepared for him. Those who think that our highest goodness and infinite wisdom would have left man with only the goods of redemption without raising him again to the original state in which he was created by us, and deceived themselves. In that case, our creation would have remained without its purpose and therefore without its full effect, which cannot be in the works of a God. Not the most, we might let centuries pass and turn, giving now one surprise, now another, entrusting now one little good to the creature, now a greater one. We will act like a father who wants to give his property to his children, but these children have wasted much of the goods of their father. In spite of this, he is determined to give his property to his children, so he thinks of another device. He no longer gives large amounts to his children, but a little bit at a time, lira by lira. And as he sees that his children preserve that little, he keeps increasing the small amounts. Through this, they come to recognize the love of the Father and to appreciate the goods he entrusts to them, which they would not do before when they had large amounts. This serves to strengthen them and to teach them how to preserve the goods received. So once he has trained them, the father confirms his decision and gives his property to his children. Now, this is how the paternal goodness is acting in creation. I placed man in the opulence of goods with no restriction at all, but only because I wanted to test him in something that did not cost him much. With an act of his will contrary to mine, he wasted all these goods. But my love did not stop. More than a father, I began to give him a little at a time, and before that, to heal him. Many times, one uses more attention with the little than when he possesses great things. In fact, if one possesses great properties and they are wasted, there is always something from which to take. But if the little is wasted, he remains on an empty stomach. However, the decision of giving the kingdom of my will to man, I have not changed. Man changes, God does not change. Now, things are easier because the goods of redemption have made their way. They have made known many surprises of my love for man, how I have loved him, not by the Fiat alone, but by giving him my very life. Though my Fiat costs me more than my very humanity, because the Fiat is divine, immense, eternal, while my humanity is human, limited, and has its beginning in time. However, not knowing in depth what the Fiat means, its value, its power, and what it can do, the human minds let themselves be conquered more by all that I did and suffered and coming to redeem them, not knowing that under my pains and my death, there was my Fiat hidden, which gave life to my pains. Now, had I wanted to manifest the kingdom of my will, either when I came upon earth or before, the goods of redemption would be recognized and for the most part possessed by creatures. My greatest saints would have been frightened. All would have thought and said, 'Adam, innocent and holy, was unable to live nor to persevere in this kingdom of endless light and of divine sanctity. How can we do it?' Can you yourself? How many times have you not become frightened and trembling before the immense goods and the sanctity fully divine of the kingdom of the supreme Fiat? You wanted to draw back, saying to me, 'Jesus, think of some other creature; I am incapable of this.' You were not so much frightened by the suffering; rather, many times you prayed me, you incited me to let you suffer. And therefore, my more than paternal goodness acted with you as with a second mother of mine. From her, I hid my conception in her womb. First, I prepared her, I formed her so as not to frighten her, and when the appropriate time came, in the very act in which I was to be conceived, then I made it known to her through the usual. And even though at first she trembled and was troubled, immediately she became serene again because she was used to living with her God in the midst of his light and before his sanctity. So I have done with you. For many years and years, I hid from you that I wanted to form the supreme kingdom in you. I prepared you, I formed you, I enclosed myself in you, in the depth of your soul, in order to form it. And when everything was done, I manifested the secret to you. I spoke to you about your special mission. I asked you in a formal way whether you wanted to accept the living in my will. And even though you trembled and feared, I reassured you, saying to you, 'Why do you trouble yourself? Have you perhaps not lived with me until now in the kingdom of my will?' And you, serene again, would make more of a practice of the living in it, and I would delight in expanding evermore the boundaries of my kingdom because it is established. Up to what point the creature must take possession of this kingdom, since its boundaries are endless and the creature is incapable of embracing them all because she is limited. And I, my love. Yet my fears have not completely ceased, and many times I am so frightened that I fear I might act like a second Adam." And Jesus, "My daughter, do not fear. You have more help than Adam did. You have the help of a human at God and all his works and pains as your defense, as your support, has your courage, which he did not have. Why then do you want to fear? Rather, be attentive to the sanctity that befits the living in this celestial kingdom, and on your happiness and fortune, because by living in it, one gaze of mine is enough for you. It is enough for you to hear one of my words alone to comprehend its goods. Law for those who are outside, one can say that they understand only that the kingdom of my will exists, but as for what is inside of it, what it takes to comprehend it, they can just barely understand the alphabet of my will."
July 18th, 1929. Volume 26. Work of Jesus for the Kingdom of the Divine Will. While I was in the nightmare of the privation of my lovable Jesus, and most resigned, I wasn't even thinking that he might unveil himself to my little soul, making his short little visit to give me his sip of life so as not to let me succumb completely. All of a sudden, he moved in my interior, making himself seen, all intent and occupied on his work. And as he raised his eyes, sparkling with light, toward me, his eyes met with mine, and compassionating my affliction, he told me, "My daughter, I am working in your soul continuously, and while working, I am finalizing so that nothing may be missing, solidifying to give to my work that divine stability and immutability, hand waiting with invincible patience for my work to become known, so that all may know my great love, my great sacrifice, and yours, and the great good that if they want to halt, can receive. What this is about is that this work of mine is the renewal of the whole creation. It is the centralization of all our works. It is to establish my Divine Will in the midst of creatures, operating and dominating in their midst. Whoever will know this my work will be a kingdom of mine. Therefore, I will have as many kingdoms for as many as are the ones who will know what I have done and said in the littleness of your soul and fused together, they will form one single Kingdom. So my silence is centralization of more intense work that I am doing in you. And therefore, if I speak to you, it is a new work that I undertake, calling you together with the work and giving you knowledge of what we are doing, so as to place new tents of beauties, of magnificence, and of happiness in the kingdom of my Divine Will that creatures must possess. If I keep silent, I reorder, I harmonize, I confirm what I have done. And therefore, my silence must not be cause of affliction for you, but occasion for more work in order to carry out the kingdom of my Divine Will."
July 18th, 1938. Vol. 36. How beautiful it is to see the creature in the Divine Will. How created things await it to love their Creator. The exuberant love of God for those who live in it. My flight and the Divine Will continues. It is as if its power and immensity feel the need of the company of its beloved creature to take her everywhere. It is as it finds its works, it pauses to tell her the different story of each work and the diversity of love that animates them. It delights so much in manifesting the source, the specialty of its works, that not only does it donate these works to those who listen, but it celebrates the works together with them. Now, while my mind was surprised and enchanted, my always adorable Jesus, surprising me, told me that, "My blessed daughter, there isn't enchantment more beautiful delighting our Supreme Being than seeing the creature enter our will. As she enters, she takes us as if in her arms, and she clothes herself inside and outside with our divine being. We, in return, take her in our arms to enjoy her. How, how beautiful it is to see her, little but beautiful, little but powerful, little but wise, little but strong, to the extent that she can carry her Creator. There is nothing in which she is not similar to us. So just by entering our will, she acquires and wears our divine qualities with the right given by us. She takes ownership of all, giving herself to all, loving all, wanting to be loved by all, wanting love for us from all. Seeing a creature who wants everybody to love us is the purest joy for us, the most beautiful, the greatest one. We can really hear our echo: we want everyone to love us, we love everyone. And if many do not love us, we feel offended and deprived of our rights as Creator Father who loves his children very much. Therefore, we feel recreated by this creature, finding in her our same volleys of love. How not to love her? To her, our first kiss, to her, our squeezing hugs, the love tricks we make up for her are unheard of. And the more we love her, the more we want to love her." Jesus kept silent for a while, then he added, "My daughter, all created things await too, but do you know why? Because thanks to my Fiat that animates our, they feel their union with you, their inseparability from you. And since the creature has the supremacy, they all await you in their midst so that together with the creature, they can glorify and love us, each one according to the office assigned by us. Each created being possesses the fullness of its own good, and the sun possesses the fullness of the light, and each act of light it produces, heat, effect, and good, it unleashes from its womb of light is like a continuous little sonata of glory and love that it gives to us. But it doesn't want to give it alone; rather, it wants the one for whom it has been created. Only then are we truly loved and glorified when the creature, animated by our will, flows into that act of light, loving and glorifying us with the love and glory of light. So we feel our purpose, the reason for which we created light, when we find the creature hidden inside that light, plotting us with the fullness of the light and heat. We find in her love that wounds us, the love that sweetens us, love that says, 'Always love.' Therefore, we placed the Sun and the power of the creature to love us. But if we do not find the creature in the created things, we are not happy. They remain like instruments with no sound or life. At the most, we love and glorify ourselves, but it is not the creature loving and glorifying us, so our purpose fails. The wind is waiting for you, for your voice to flow in its whispers, waiting to feel your whispering love toward its Creator. Oh, how honored it feels when all see in the impetuosity of the wind your impetuous love, almost prevailing towards the one who created it. It blows its breaths, invested by your 'I love you.' And as we feel your love breathing, we breathe love to you to be loved more. The air that all breathe is waiting for you to be animated by your voice. So in the air everyone inhales, they receive the 'I love you' of their Creator. In the air they exhale, your 'I love you' runs to bring us within its womb every life, every breath changed into as many loving voices. All created things wait for you to receive the new life of love brought by the soul who lives in my will. Heaven, the saints, the angels, the very Queen of Heaven await to receive the freshness and the joy of the love operating in the creature. Although the soul is on earth, she lives with their same will, and they are as if watered by the love of this happy creature. They feel the new love from which my will has filled her, investing all. They feel the joy of the conquering love she bears. My daughter, what order, what harmony one who lives in my will establishes between heaven and earth. All her acts, motions, and thoughts turn into voices, sounds, and harmonies that, investing all created things, make everyone say, 'They love us.' And as we remain loved, all of them together with us are loved with a new love. The whole heaven remains enraptured, seeing the wonders, the sweet enchantments of those who live in our Divine Fiat. Now you must know that my love is not satisfied if I do not do and give new surprises of love to one who lives in my will, and if I do not add new things to reveal to her. So, my daughter, my celestial Father generated me when I loved you, and I loved him, and in that love, I loved you too, because my will was bringing you along, always present. I generate continuously, and in the ardor of our love as Father and Son, the Holy Spirit proceeded in that order. I also loved you from a continuous love. I created the whole creation, and for each thing I was creating, I loved you first, then I created it, laying it to your service. Even in the love between me and my Heavenly Mother, I loved you. Oh, how much I loved you in the Incarnation, in her virginal womb. I loved you in each breath, each motion, hitched to my will, had you present so that I loved you, and you received as a gift from me my breathing, my tears, my motion, my love for the creature who was going to live in my will. Reach the extent that even in doing graces and in loving my saints, in that same love, she was enclosed. I can say that I loved you always. I loved you in everyone and in everything. I loved you at all times. I loved you in every place. I loved you everywhere. Oh, if everybody knew what it means to live in my will and the seas of love and graces by which they are inundated. A God who loves with love always knew, as in our divine being we keep our divine and predominant passion that the creature live in our will, so it would become the creature's predominant passion, and so that at any cost they would give their life to live in that Fiat that loves them so much. End of July 18th. Fiat."
