January 18th, 1928. Vol. 23. How the Virgin is isolated in her glory and how she awaits the cortege of the other Queens so as to have her retinue. How the works of God hold hands among themselves. How the manifestations on the Divine Will will be the gospel of His kingdom. The issue about the writings' necessity of the first priests of the kingdom of the Fiat.
I was continuing the Acts in the Divine Will and I said to myself, "Oh, how I would like to enclose myself in the prime act of God in order to do everything with one single act, so as to be able to give to my Creator all the love, all the glory, very Beatitudes, and infinite Joys; to be able to love Him and glorify Him as He glorifies and loves Himself. What would I not give Him if I were present in that prime act of the Divine Fiat! I would lack nothing to make my Creator happy with His own happiness." And seeing myself impotent, I was praying my Sovereign Mama to come to my help and to enclose me with Her maternal hands in that prime act in which She had had Her perennial dwelling, because since She lived in the Divine Will, the prime act of God was Hers, and therefore She could give Him whatever She wanted.
But while I was thinking about this, I said to myself, "How much nonsense I am speaking!" But my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me, "My daughter, the Queen of Heaven, in Her glory and greatness, is as though isolated. In fact, She alone, having lived in the prime act of God, that is, in the fullness and totality of the Divine Volition, She is the isolated Queen. She does not have the cortege of other Queens who surround Her and match Her in the glory and greatness that She possesses. She finds Herself in the conditions of a Queen who is surrounded by damsels, by paid-for, by faithful friends who give Her honor and keep Her company. However, no other Queen equal to Her gives Her the great honor of surrounding Her and of keeping Her company. What would be a greater honor for a Queen of the earth: to be surrounded by other Queens equal to Her, or by people inferior in condition, in glory and greatness, and in beauty? There is such distance in honor and in glory between one who is surrounded by Queens and one who is surrounded only by other people that no parallel can be compared to it.
Now, the Celestial Mama wants, desires, awaits the kingdom of the Divine Will upon earth, in which there will be the souls who, by living in it, will form their life in the prime act of God and will acquire the royalty and the right of Queens. All will see impressed in them an indelible character that they are the daughters of the Divine King, and as daughters, to them is due the title and the right of Queens. These souls will have their dwelling in the Divine Royal Palace, therefore they will acquire nobility of manners, of works, of steps, of words. They will possess such science that no one will be able to equal them. They will be invested with such light that the light itself will announce to all that here is a Queen who has lived in the Royal Palace of My Will. And so the Sovereign Queen will no longer be alone on Her royal throne; She will have the other Queens who will surround Her. Her beauty will be reflected in them; Her glory and greatness will find the ones in whom it can pour itself. Oh, how honored and glorified She will feel! Therefore, She desires those who want to live in the Divine Fiat in order to Herself form the Queens in the prime act of it, so as to be able to have in the Celestial Fatherland the retinue of the other Queens who surround Her and will give Her the honors due to Her."
After this, I was thinking, "What will be the utility of these writings on the Divine Will?" "Am I highest and only good?" Jesus, moving in my interior, told me, "My daughter, all of My works hold hands, and this is the sign that they are My works; that one does not oppose the other. On the contrary, they are so bound among themselves that they sustain one another. This is so true that, having to form My chosen people from which and within which the future Messiah was to be born, from that same people I formed the priesthood that instructed the people and prepared them for the great good of redemption. I gave them laws, manifestations, and inspirations upon which the sacred scriptures were formed, called the Bible, and all were intent on the study of it. Then, with My coming upon earth, I did not destroy sacred scriptures; on the contrary, I supported them, and My gospel that I announced opposed them in nothing; on the contrary, they sustained each other in an admirable way. And in forming the new nascent Church, I formed the new priesthood that does not detach itself either from sacred scriptures or from the gospel. All are intent upon them in order to instruct the peoples, and it can be said that anyone who did not want to draw from this solitary font does not belong to Me, because these are the basis of My Church and the very life with which the peoples are formed.
Now, what I manifest on My Divine Will and that you write can be called the gospel of the kingdom of the Divine Will, and nothing does it oppose either sacred scriptures or the gospel that I announced while being on earth. On the contrary, it can be called the support of one and of the other. And this is why I allow and I call priests to come to read the gospel, all of Heaven, of the kingdom of My Divine Fiat, so as to say, as I said to the Apostles, 'Preach it throughout the whole world.' In fact, in My works, I make use of the priesthood, and just as I had the priesthood before My coming in order to prepare the people, and the priesthood of My Church in order to confirm My coming and everything I did and said, so will I have the priesthood of the kingdom of My Will. Here is the utility of the many things I have manifested to you, the many surprising truths, the promises of the so many goods that I must give to the children of the Fiat voluntas tua. They will be the gospel, the basis, the inexhaustible font from which all will draw the celestial life, the terrestrial happiness, and the restoration of their creation. Oh, how happy they will feel, those who with yearning will drink in large gulps from these fonts of My knowledge, because they contain the virtue of bringing the life of Heaven and of banishing any unhappiness."
Then, in hearing this, I was thinking to myself about the big issue concerning the writings on the Divine Will that are in Messina, brought there by the blessed memory of Venerable Father de Francia, how myself and my other superiors absolutely want them here, while the superiors in Messina, rigorously recommended by the venerable Father before dying, want to keep them over there for their publication when God pleases. So we do nothing but send letters of fire back and forth: them to keep them, and us to get them back. And I was feeling all worried, bored, and tired, and was saying to myself, "How could good Jesus allow all this? Who knows whether He too feels disappointed?" And He, moving in my interior, told me, "My daughter, you are worried. I am not disappointed at all. On the contrary, I enjoy in seeing the interest that priests take in these writings that will form the kingdom of My Will. This means that they appreciate the great good of them, and each one would want to keep such a great treasure with himself to be the first to communicate it to others. And while the issue of who is going to win lasts, one approaches the other in order to consult one another on what to do. And I enjoy that more of My ministers get to know that there is this treasure so great of making known the kingdom of My Divine Will. And I use this to form the first priests of My coming kingdom of My Fiat.
My daughter, it is a great necessity to form the first priests. They will serve Me like the Apostles served Me to form My Church. And the ones who will occupy themselves with these writings in order to publish them, putting them out to print, to make them known, will be the new evangelists of the kingdom of My Supreme Will. And just as the ones who are most mentioned in My gospel are the four evangelists who wrote it, to their highest honor and My glory, so it will be for those who will occupy themselves with writing the knowledge of My Will in order to publish them like new evangelists. There will be greater mention of them in the kingdom of My Will, to their highest honor and My great glory, in seeing the order of the creature, the life of Heaven on earth, the only purpose of creation, return into My bosom. Therefore, in these circumstances, I expand the circle, and like a fisherman, I catch those who must serve Me for a kingdom so holy. Therefore, let Me do, and do not be worried."
January eighteenth, 1933. Vol. 31. Loneliness in which Jesus is placed by those who receive Him sacramentally. His tears, His sorrows, mute species and living species. Continuation of the life of Jesus in the creature.
Having received Holy Communion, I was making my usual Thanksgivings, and my highest good Jesus made Himself seen afflicted and taciturn, as if He felt the need of company. And I, clasping Him to me, sought to console Him by offering to be always united with Him in order to never leave Him alone. And Jesus seemed all content, and in order to pour out His sorrow, He said to me, "My daughter, be faithful to Me, never leave Me alone, because the pain of loneliness is the most oppressing, since company is the food of relief for one who suffers. On the other hand, without company, one suffers sorrow and is constrained to feeling famished, because he lacks one who gives the relief of food; he lacks everything, and perhaps he lacks one who could offer relief, be it even a bitter medicine.
My daughter, how many souls receive Me sacramentally in their hearts and leave Me in loneliness! I feel Myself in them as within a desert, as if not pertaining to them, and they treat Me like a stranger. But do you know why they don't take part in My life, and My virtues, in My sanctity, in My joys, and in My sorrows? Company means to take part in all that the person near does and suffers. Therefore, receiving Me and not taking part in My life is for Me the most bitter loneliness. And remaining alone, I cannot tell them how much I burn with love for them, and therefore My love remains isolated, isolated My sanctity, My virtues, My life. In some, everything is loneliness inside of Me and outside of Me. Oh, how many times I descend into their hearts and I cry because I see Myself alone! And when I descend, seeing Myself alone, I feel neither cared for, nor appreciated, nor loved, so much so that I am constrained by their not caring to be reduced to silence and to sadness. And since they do not take part in My sacramental life, I feel Myself isolated in their hearts. And seeing that I don't have anything to do with divine and invincible patience, I await the consummation of the sacramental species that My eternal Fiat had imprisoned Me inside, leaving hardly any traces of My descent, since I could not leave anything of My sacramental life, except perhaps only My tears, because not having taken part in My life, there lacked the void or where to be able to leave the things that belong to Me and that I wanted to put in common with them. Therefore, many souls are seen who receive Me sacramentally, and they are not like Me; they are sterile of virtues, sterile of love, of sacrifice. Poor little ones, they eat of Me, but since they do not keep Me company, they remain hungry. Ah, and how many straits of sorrow and of cruel martyrdom My sacramental life is placed! Many times I feel My love drowned; I would like to free Myself and I yearn to descend into hearts, but alas, I am constrained to leaving more suffocated than before. How can I pour out if they have not paid attention to the flames that burn Me? Other times, the flood of sorrow inundates Me; I yearn for a heart to have a relief for My pains, but what they would want is that I take part of them, not they of Me. And I do it, hiding My sorrows, My tears, in order to console them, and I remain without the longed-for relief.
But who can tell you the so many sorrows of My sacramental life, and how there are more of those who receive Me and place Me in loneliness in their hearts, but bitter loneliness, than those who keep Me company? And when I find a heart that keeps Me company, I place My life in communication with her, leaving her the deposits of My virtues, the fruit of My sacrifices, the participation of My life, and I choose her for My residence, for the hiding place of My pains, and as a place of My refuge. And I feel as though reciprocated for the sacrifice of My Eucharistic life, because I find one who breaks My loneliness for Me, who dries My tears, who gives Me the freedom of letting Me pour out My love and My sorrows. It is they who served Me as living species, not like the sacramental species that gives Me nothing, that only hides Me; the rest I do by Myself, all alone. They do not tell Me a word that breaks My loneliness; they are mute species. On the other hand, in souls who use Me as living species, our life develops together; we beat with one single heartbeat. And if I see her disposed, I communicate to her My pains, and I continue My passion in her. I can say that from the sacramental species I pass to the living species in order to continue My life on earth, not alone, but together with her. You must know that pains are no longer in My power, and I go asking for love from these living species of souls who make up for what is lacking to Me.
And therefore, My daughter, when I find a heart who loves Me and keeps Me company, giving Me the freedom to do what I want, I arrive at excesses, and I do not care about anything else. I give everything so that the poor creature feels drowned by My love and by My Graces. And then My sacramental life does not remain sterile anymore when it descends into their hearts; no, it reproduces Me by locating and continuing My life in her. And these are My conquerors who administer their life to this poor indigent Man of sufferings, and they say to Me, "My love, You had Your turn at sufferings, and it is ended; now it is My turn. Therefore, let Me make up for You and suffer in Your place." And oh, how content I am! My sacramental life remains at its place of honor because it reproduces other lives of itself and creatures. Therefore, I want you always together with Me, so that we live together, and you take to heart My life, and I yours.
