“Then he
showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city...” Rev. 22:1
“My Will is more than
water. It is true that in certain points, epochs and circumstances, It is as
though embounded within most extensive seas, rivers and wells; but there is not
one thing, from the greatest to the smallest, in which my Will does not run and
does not hold Its primary place – but as though hidden, just as the water is
hidden in the earth, such that, although it does not appear, it is the one that
makes the plants vegetate and gives life to the roots. However, when my love will make the Era of my Will
arise - the New Era of the maximum benefit toward creatures - then will the
seas, the rivers of my Volition overflow; and as Its gigantic waves come out,
they will overwhelm everything into my Will – but no longer as hidden; rather,
Its roaring waves will make themselves seen by all and will touch all. And
those who want to resist the current, will run the risk of losing their lives.” Vol. 13 July 20, 1921
Now, while writing, I
was thinking to myself: ‘It is some time that my sweet Jesus has not spoken to
me about His Most Holy Will, but about other truths. I feel more inclined to
write about His Most Holy Volition; I feel more pleasure, and as if It were
something exclusively mine; and His Will is enough for me, for everything.’ And
my always benign Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, you should not be
surprised if you find more pleasure and you feel more inclined to write about
my Will. In fact, hearing, speaking, writing about my Will is the most sublime
thing that can exist in Heaven and on earth. It is that which glorifies Me the
most, and takes all goods together, and the whole of sanctity at once. On the
other hand, the other truths each enclose their own distinct good; they are
drunk sip by sip, climbed step by step, and they adapt themselves to the human
way. With my Will, instead, it is the
soul that adapts herself to the divine way; it is not sips that one drinks -
but seas; not stairs that one climbs – but flights which seize Heaven in
the twinkling of an eye. Oh! my Will, my Will! In just hearing It from you, It brings Me so much joy and sweetness;
and as I feel surrounded by my Will that the creature contains, as though by
another immensity of mine, I feel so much pleasure that it makes Me forget the
evil of the other creatures. However, you must know that great things have
I manifested to you about my Will, but you have not yet masticated them well
and digested them, in such a way as to take all the substance, so as to form
the whole mass of blood in your soul. Once you have formed all the substance, I
will come back again, and I will manifest to you other things, more sublime,
about my Will. And while I wait for you to digest them well, I will keep you
occupied on other truths that belong to Me, so that, if creatures do not want to avail themselves of the sea - of the sun of
my Will in order to come to Me, they may make use of the little fountains, of
the channels, to come to Me and take, for their own good, the things that
belong to Me.” Vol. 13, 10/13/21)
“I went forth
like a canal from a river and like a water channel into a garden. I said, ‘I will water my orchard and drench
my garden plot’, and lo, my canal became a river, and my river became a
sea. I will again make instruction shine
forth like the dawn, and I will make it shine afar; I will again pour out
teaching like prophecy, and leave it to all future generations. Observe that I have not labored for myself
alone, but for all who seek instruction.”
Sirach 24:30-34
“I will open
rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will
make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the
acacia, the myrtle, and the olive; I will set in the desert the cypress, the
plane and the pine together; that men may see and know, may consider and
understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, the Holy One of
Israel has created it.” Isaiah 41:17-20
