June 25, 1876. He had told me to pray for certain needs of his. I'm seeing him together with our Lord. I began to pray Jesus to grant what he wanted. While I was praying, all goodness in Jesus turned to the Confessor and said to him, "I want faith to end and date you everywhere, just like those boats inundated with the waters of the sea. And since I myself AM faith, he would be inundated with me, who possesses everything, can do everything, and gives freely to those who trust in me. And without your thinking of what will come of, when it will, and of how you will do it, I myself will be there to assist you according to your needs." Then he added, "If you exercise yourself in this faith, almost swimming in it, as recompense I will infuse three spiritual joys in your heart. First, you will penetrate the things of God with clarity and in doing holy things you will feel inundated with such gladness, with such joy as to feel as though soaked with it. This is the unction of my grace. Second, you will feel boredom for earthly things and you will feel joy in your heart for celestial things. Third, total detachment from everything, and there where you felt inclination in the past, he will feel bother. And this I have been infusing in your heart for some time, and you are already experiencing it. Because of this, your heart will be inundated with the joy which naked souls enjoy, who have their hearts so inundated with my love that they are not affected at all by the themes that surround them externally."
June 25th, 1911. Volume ain't. Weather still or walking, the soul must always remain in the divine well. This morning I was thinking to myself that I felt as though stopped, without moving either forward or backward. And I said, "Lord, I myself cannot say what I feel, but after all, I will not afflict myself. Whether I am behind or still or ahead, as long as I am in Your will, I am always fine. In whatever point or in whatever way I may be, Your will is always holy, and in whatever way I will be in it, I will always be fine." In the meantime, blessed Jesus came for a little while and told me, "My daughter, be courageous. Do not fear if you feel stopped, but be careful to make your stops in my will, without going out of my volition at all. I too make my stops in it, but then in a twinkling of an eye, I do more that I have not done for years and years. See, according to the world, it seems that I have stopped. The customs it deserves to be severely chastised, and I am not doing it. It seems that I am NOT in motion, but if I take the rod in my hand, you will see how I will make up for all the stops. The same for you, remaining always in my will. If you see that my will wants you stopped, then stop and enjoy my will. If you see that my will wants you to walk, then walk, but walk always in my volition, because by walking in my will, you will walk with me and will have the same will of my walking. And therefore, remain always at the order of my will, whether still or in motion, and you will always be fine."
June 25th, 1925. Volume 17. Jesus covers Luisa and hides her in his adorable person. How crosses open the doors to new manifestations. How the human will must lose its field of action. As I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus, all love and tenderness, came to my poor soul. First, he placed himself near me and stared at me, as if he wanted to tell me many things, but he wanted to enlarge my intelligence because it was incapable of receiving and comprehending all that he wanted to say to me. Then he laid himself upon a part of myself and hid me inside of him, my face in his, my hands and my feet in his. It seemed to me that he was all attentive on covering me and hiding me within himself, so that nothing of myself would ever again appear. Oh, how happy I felt, all hidden and covered in Jesus and by Jesus! I could see nothing but Jesus. Everything had disappeared from me. The joys, the happiness of his adorable presence had all returned, as if by magic, to live again in my poor heart. Pain had been banished from me, nor did I remember his privation any longer, which had cost me mortal pains. How, how easy it is to forget everything while being with Jesus! Now, after he kept me all covered and hidden in him for some time, to the point that I thought he would never again leave me, I heard him call the angels and the saints to come and see what Jesus was doing with me and the way he kept me covered inside his adorable person. Afterwards, he made me share in his pains, and I let him do everything, even though I felt as though being crushed by those pains. Yet I felt happy and I experienced the joys which the Divine Will contains when the soul abandons herself in it, even while suffering. Then, after he made me suffer, he said to me, "My daughter, my will wants to give itself to you more and more, and in order to give itself more, it wants to make itself understood more and to render what it manifests to you more stable, safer, and more estimable. It gives you new pains to dispose you more and to prepare you the void in which to place its truths. It wants the noble courtship of pain in order to be sure about the soul and to be able to trust her. It is always paying. It is crosses that opened the doors to new manifestations, to more secret lessons, to the greatest gifts which I want to place in you. In fact, if the soul bears my will when it is suffering and sorrowful with firmness, she will become capable of receiving my will when it brings happiness and will acquire the intellect and the hearing in order to understand the new lessons of my will. Pain will make her acquire the celestial language in such a way that she will be able to repeat the lessons she has learned." On hearing this, I said to him, "My Jesus, and my life, it seems to me that the complete sacrifice of the soul and of the body is needed in order to do Your will and to live in it. At first sight, it appears as something trivial, but then in practice, it seems difficult, not having one single breath of one's own will, not even in holy things. Pouring good itself, having to remain still and content in any suffering, both interior and external, this seems to be too grievous and painful for the human nature. And therefore, the souls will never be able to arrive at living in Your will with the complete sacrifice of everything." And Jesus added, "My daughter, everything is in understanding the great good which comes to her by doing my will and by operating and living in it. It is this well that wants the sacrifice. Since this will does not adapt itself to mix and to live together with a low, small, and finite will, it wants to render the acts of the soul who wants to live in my will eternal, infinite, and divine. And how can it do this if she wants to place the breath of her human will, even in a holy thing? As you say, it is always a finite will, and then living in my will would no longer be a reality, but a way of saying. On the other hand, the office of my will is total dominion, and it is right that the little atom of the human will be conquered and that it lose its field of action in my will. What would you say if a little lamp, a match, or spark, a fire wanted to enter into the Sun to follow its way and to form its field of light and of action in the center of the Sun? If the Sun had reason, it would become indignant, and its light and heat would annihilate that little lamp, that match, that spark. And you would be the first one to mock them, condemning their boldness and wanting to form their own field of action within the light of the Sun. Such is the breath of the human will within mine, even and good. Therefore, be attentive so that yours may have life and nothing. I covered and hid all of you within me so that you may have no eyes if not to look at my will alone, to give it free field of action in your soul. Rather, the difficult thing will be to comprehend the living in my will, not to sacrifice oneself. In fact, once the souls have understood the great good which comes to them by living in my Divine Will, that for poor they will become rich, from slaves of vile passions they will become free and ruling, from servants masters, from unhappy happy, even in the pain of this poor life, and will fall in love with all the goods which are in my will. The total sacrifice of everything will be an honor for them. It will be desired, wanted, and longed for. This is why I push you so much to manifest what I say to you regarding my will, because everything will be in understanding it, knowing it, and loving it. And I, my Jesus, if you so much love and want that this will of yours be known, loved, and practiced, so that it may have its field of divine action in the souls, please heal yourself, manifest its truths to the souls, the great good which your will contains, and the great good which they will receive. Your direct word contains a magic force, a powerful magnet, the virtue of the creative power. Oh, how difficult it is not to surrender to the sweet enchantment of your Divine Word! And therefore, if everything is said directly by you, everyone will surrender." Then Jesus, "My daughter, it is my usual way, and the order of my eternal wisdom wants it so, to manifest my greatest works first to one single soul and to concentrate in her all the good which my work contains, dealing with her one-on-one, as if no one else existed. When I have done everything in such a way as to be able to say that I have accomplished my work completely within her, so much so that nothing must be lacking to her, then I make it flow, that's from a vast sea, for the good of the other creatures. This is what I did with my celestial mama. First, I dealt with her in the most divine intimacy about the work of redemption. No other creature knew anything. She disposed herself to make all sacrifices, to all the necessary preparations in order to make me descend from heaven to earth. I did everything as if she were the only redeemed one. But after she delivered me to the light with her virginal labor, in such a way that everyone could see me and take the goods of redemption, I gave myself to all, provided that they wanted to receive me. The same will happen with my will. Once I have completed everything within you, in such a way that my will will triumph in you, and you in it, then like an immense overflowing sea, it will flow for the good of all. But it is necessary to form the first soul in order to then have the second."
June 25th, 1928. Volume 24. Everything that is done in the Fiat acquires the continuous act without ever ceasing. Example of the Sun. The purpose of Jesus going into the desert. The pains of isolation. I was praying and feeling my extreme misery. I prayed my celestial mama to give me her love to make up for my meager love. But while I was doing this, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me, "My daughter, my mama did her first love and her first act in the Divine Will, and since it was done in it, it possesses the continuity, as if it were always in act. Loving and operating, her love never ends. Her works act as the continuous repeaters, in such a way that whoever wants to take her love finds it always in act, while it is the effect of the first love that is repeated and repeated always. Such is one who operates in my will. Her acts acquire the continuity. They are always repeated without ever ceasing. They are the truce on that from the moment it was created by God, gave its first act of light, but so great as to fill heaven and earth with one single act, and it repeats this act always without ever ceasing, in such a way that all can take its act of light. Though one was the act that constituted itself act of perennial light for all. And if the Sun could repeat its act of light, one would see as many Suns for as many acts as it could repeat. But since one was the act of light it did once, he's only one Sun and no more. But what the Sun did not do, the Sovereign Queen did, and one who operates in my will also does as many Suns for as many acts. And these Suns are fused together, though distinct among themselves in beauty, in light, in the glory that they give to their Creator, and in the universal good that they make descend upon all creatures. These acts have a divine power, and just as by virtue of these acts the Most Holy Virgin could obtain the coming of the Word upon earth, by virtue of them my kingdom will come upon earth. And act repeated incessantly in my Fiat possesses a conquering, and rapturing, and enchanting virtue before our Divinity. That continuous repeating in the Divine volition is the strength of the soul, the invincible weapon that debilitates her Creator and conquers him with weapons of love, and he feels honored to let himself be conquered by the creature." After this, I was continuing my round in the divine Fiat and in following my Jesus on the way to the desert, I thought to myself, "And why did Jesus take the way of the desert? There were no souls to be converted there, but profound solitude, while it was souls that he was searching for." But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me, "My daughter, company breaks the pain and diminishes it, while isolation concentrates it, doubles it, and makes it harsher. And I wanted to go into the desert to feel in my humanity, ah, the harshness of the isolation that my Divine Will had suffered for many centuries on the part of creatures. My humanity was to ascend into the divine order and descend into the human order to be able to enclose the pains of both one and the other, in taking upon myself entirely the painful part that divided man and God. Have men cling once again to the embrace, to the kiss of their Creator. But the purpose of my going into the desert was not only this. You must know that our adorable Majesty, in forming the creation, established that every place was to be populated by inhabitants and that the earth was to be extremely fertile, enriched with abundant plants, in such a way that all would have in abundance. Has man sinned, he drew upon himself the indignation of divine justice, and the earth remained deserted, infertile, and in many places depopulated, image of those sterile families in which there is no laughter, no feast, no harmony, because without children there is no one who breaks the monotony of the two spouses, and the nightmare of isolation weighs on their hearts, leading them to sadness. On the other hand, where there are children, there is always something to do, to say, and occasions to celebrate. Such was the human family. Look at the sky, how populated with stars! It is the earth was to be the echo of the sky, crammed with inhabitants, and it was to produce so much as to render everyone rich and happy. Has man withdrew from my will, his lot changed, and I wanted to go into the desert in order to call back the blessings of my celestial Father, and by calling my will to reign again, restore the earth, populate it everywhere, and fecundate it in such a way that the earth will produce more seeds and more beautiful ones, such as to increase it a hundredfold, rendering it more magnificent than of radiant beauty. How many great things will the kingdom of my Divine Fiat do! So much so that all the elements are all in waiting, and the Sun, the wind, the sea, the earth, and all creation to deliver from their womb all the goods and effects that they contain. In fact, since the Divine Will that dominates them does not reign in the midst of creatures, they do not put out all the goods they enclose within themselves, giving them only what they have as alms and as just servants. So the earth has not produced all the seeds, the Sun not finding all the seeds does not produce all the effects and good it possesses, and so with all the rest. This is why all await the kingdom of the Fiat to show creatures how rich they are and how many admirable things the Creator has placed in them for love of the ones who were to be the children of his will."
June 25th, 1933. Volume 32. If the Divine Will reigns, God seeks himself and finds himself in the creature. She seeks herself in God and finds herself in his divine center. I felt my poor and little intelligence, as by so many thoughts that regarded the Divine Will, and I thought to myself, "And why does Jesus have so much interest? He insists, he yearns, he prays and wants that one pray that his Divine Will come to reign. It is true that for the creature, it will be the greatest acquisition to have an immense volition, a power that is never exhausted, her love that always burns, a light that never extinguishes, a sanctity that gives of the incredible and always grows. One can say nothing else remains for her to desire or to possess, because she possesses everything. But for God, what can be his gain, his glory, his honor?" So, while I thought this and other things, my sovereign Jesus, visiting my little soul, full of goodness, told me, "My daughter, dearest daughter of my will, the reason, the cause, the purpose why I yearned so much that my Divine Will take its place, its dominion, and act as sovereign in the creature is that our Supreme Being goes in search of finding itself in the human littleness. Think well, what it means, a God who goes in search of himself. But where? Perhaps in the extension of the heavens? No. In the expansiveness of light that occupies the whole earth? No. Perhaps in the multiplicity of the waters of the sea? No. But in the little human heart. We want to hide our immensity, our power, our wisdom, and all our divine being in the creature. Hiding ourselves in the great things is not so great, but in the little things we display even or in love, power, and so forth. And since we can do all and do all, it delights us even more, and we take more enjoyment in hiding ourselves in the human littleness rather than in the great things. And if we do not find our will in her, we are not able to search for ourselves nor find ourselves in her, and we would like the place for where to put all our divine attributes. They would feel powerless to hide our divine life where there is not our will. See then the reason why we want, we yearn, and why the creature yearns and prays that she lives of Divine volition. It is because we go in search of ourselves in her, and we want to find ourselves as in our own center. And does it seem little to you, the great gain that we make, the glory, the honor that we receive, that the little human heart hides our will and our very life in order to give us double love, double power, wisdom, goodness, in order to place itself in competition with ourselves? If you do not comprehend this, it means that you are still blind to the interminable ways of my Divine Will. Now, if we, by wanting that our Fiat reign and creatures seek and find ourselves in her, the creature, by wanting it, seeks herself in God, and she finds herself in him. See therefore what exchange, what labor on both parts, what stratagem and loving genius! God who continuously seeks himself in the creature, but where does he find himself? In the center of her, such that he seeks and re-seeks himself, he calls and recalls, where his same love calls, where his same life resides. The creature imitates her God, she goes around and goes around again, she seeks and re-seeks, she calls and recalls, but where does she find herself? In the divine center. This is the exchange of life between the one and the other, the same will that dominates the creature and God, the same love with which they are animated. So there is nothing to marvel at. What one does, the other does, and only our will knows how to do these prodigies. Without it, everything is sterile, everything is blocked on the part of God, and on the part of creatures, we feel that we are prisoners of ourselves, and she feels herself imprisoned by her human will, without escape, and all blocked in herself and without divine life. So with all this, is it not therefore just that we want nothing other than that our will dominate and reign?" End of June 25th. Fiat.
