July 7th, 1902. Vol. for continuous humiliation with Christ will give rise to everlasting exaltation with Christ. This morning, since blessed Jesus was not coming, I felt all confused and humiliated. Then, after I struggled very much, He made Himself seen for just a little, telling me, "Louisa, always humiliated with Christ." And I, pleased and yearning to be humiliated with Christ, said, "Always, O Lord." And He repeated, "And the always of the humiliation with Christ will give rise to the always of the exaltation with Christ." So I understood that as many humiliations as the soul undergoes with Christ and for love of Christ, if they are continuous, so many times will the Lord exalt her. And He will make this exaltation continuously before the whole celestial court, before men, and finally, even before demons themselves.
Joy, 7, 1917. Vol. 12. For one who does the Divine Will, everything is present. I was using myself in my sweet Jesus, but I saw myself as so miserable that I didn't know what to tell Him. "Am I always lovable?" Jesus, to console me, told me, "My daughter, neither past nor future exist for one who does My will, but everything is in a present act. Everything I did and suffered is in a present act, in such a way that if I want to give satisfaction to the Father or do good to the creatures, I can do it as if I were in the very act of suffering and operating. In the same way, all that the creature can suffer and do in My will is already identified with My pains and works, and they become one. So, when the soul wants to give Me a proof of love with her pains, she can take the pain suffered at other times, which are in act, and give them to Me in order to replicate her love, her satisfactions for Me. And in seeing the industriousness of the creature who places her acts as if on a counter in order to multiply them and collect the interest to give Me love and satisfactions, I give her My pains and My works multiplied so as to enrich her and not to be outdone in love, to love her and to be loved."
July 7th, 1928. Volume 24. Goods that the Divine Will produces. Evils that the human will produces. How all evils will cease as though by magic if the Divine Will reigns. How the Divine Will reigned in the house of Nazareth. I was following my sweet Jesus in His public life, and while thinking about the so many human diseases that Jesus healed, I thought to myself, "And why did the human nature transform itself so much? That son became mute, some deaf, some blind, some covered with wounds, and so many other evils. If it was the human will that did evil, why did the body also suffer so much?" And my sweet Jesus, moving, and my interior told me, "My daughter, you must know that the body did nothing evil, but all the evil was done by the human will. However, before sinning, Adam possessed the complete life of My Divine Will in his soul. One can say that it was filled to the brim, to the extent of overflowing outside. So, by virtue of My will, the human will transfuse as light outside and emitted the fragrances of its Creator, fragrances of beauty, of sanctity, and a full health, fragrances of purity, of strength, that were such as to come out from within his will like many luminous clouds. And the body was so embellished by these exhalations that it was the delight to see him beautiful, the Earth's luminous, so very healthy with an enrapturing grace. Now, as Adam sinned, his human will remained alone, and he no longer had the one who would diffuse in his will the light, the varieties of so many fragrances. That being transfused outside preserved the soul and the body as it had been created by God. Instead, thick clouds, putrid air, perfumes of weakness and of miseries began to emanate from within the human will, in such a way that the body also lost its freshness, its beauty, it became debilitated and remained subject to all evils, sharing in the evils of the human will, just as it had shared in the good. So, if the human will is healed by getting it again the life of My Divine Will, it has, though by magic, all the evils of the human nature will have life no more. Thus, perhaps the same that happened when a putrid, bad, stinking air surrounds the creatures. How many more evils does it not increase? As the stench reaches the point of taking one's breath away, penetrating deep into one's bowels, to the extent of producing contagious diseases that lead one to the tomb. And if an air from the outside can cause so much harm, much greater harm can the foggy and putrid air of the human will cause that comes from within the creature, from the depth of her whole being. And then there is the palpable example of the plants. How many times in a garden or flower field, for which the farmer was all in feast, hoping for an abundant harvest or for many beautiful fruits he expected to pick, a fog was enough to strip the trees and make all the fruits fall to the ground, or an air too cold was enough to cast a mourning over the flourishing field, blacken it and make it die. But in the poor farmer in mourning, if the air is good, it communicates the life of good; if it is bad, it communicates the life of evil and even death. The exhalation of the air, if it is good, can be called life; if it is bad, it can be called death. For the poor creatures, if you knew how much I suffered in my public life when blind, mute people, lepers, and so forth, presented themselves before Me. In them, I recognized all the exhalations of the human will and how man without My will becomes deformed in soul and body. In fact, only My Fiat has the virtue of preserving our works whole, fresh, and beautiful that they came out of our creative hands."
Then, while I was accompanying my sweet Jesus in this little room of Nazareth, in order to follow His acts, I thought to myself, "Certainly, my beloved Jesus had the Kingdom of His will during His hidden life. In fact, the sovereign Lady possessed His Fiat; He was the Divine Will itself, and Saint Joseph, in the midst of these seas of endless light, how could he not let himself be dominated by this most holy will?"
But while I was thinking of this, my highest good, Jesus, sighing with sorrow in my interior, told me, "My daughter, indeed, My Divine Will reigned in this house of Nazareth on earth, as it does in Heaven. My celestial Mom, I knew no other will, and Saint Joseph lived in the reflections of our will. But I was like a king without a people, isolated, without cortege, without army. And my Mama was like a queen without children, because she was not surrounded by other children worthy of her, to whom she could entrust her crown of queen, so as to have the offspring of her noble children, all kings and queens. And I had the sorrow of being a king without a people. And if those who surrounded me could be called a people, it was a sick people; some were blind, some mute, some deaf, some crippled, some covered with wounds. It was a people that gave me dishonor, not honor. Even more, it did not even know Me, nor did it want to know Me. So I was king only for myself, and my Mama was Queen without the long generation of her offspring, of her royal children. But in order to be able to say that I had my kingdom and to rule, I had to have ministers. And even though I had Saint Joseph as Prime Minister, one minister only does not constitute a ministry. I had to have a great army, all intent on fighting to defend the rights of the kingdom of My Divine Will, and a faithful people that would have as law only the law of My will. This wasn't so. So, my daughter, therefore, I cannot say that on coming upon earth I had the kingdom of My Fiat. At that time, our kingdom was for us only, because the order of creation, the royalty of man, was not restored. However, by the Celestial Mother and I, living holy of Divine Will, the seed was sown, the yeast was formed, so as to make our kingdom arise and grow upon earth. Therefore, all the preparations were made, all the graces imparted, all the pains suffered, so that the kingdom of My Fiat might come to reign upon earth. This is why Nazareth can be called the point of recall of the kingdom of Our Will."
