The Rescue
Book of Heaven, December 28, 1937
I kept thinking about
the Divine Will. How many touching scenes before my mind! A Jesus who cries, who prays, who suffers,
because He wants to be Life of every creature, and a crowd of crippled children
- some blind, some mute, some lame, some others paralyzed, and others covered
with sores so as to move to pity. And my sweet Jesus, with a love that only He
can have, runs now to one, now to another, holding them close, pressing them to
His Heart, touching them with His creative hands to heal them, telling them,
slowly and quietly - to their hearts: ‘My
child, I love you. Receive my Love and give me yours, and I will heal you -
through love.’
My Jesus, my dear
Life, how much You love us! While I felt suffocated by His Love - breathed on
by His burning breath, He surprised me and said: “Daughter of my Love, let me
pour it out - I cannot contain myself any longer. How hard it is to love, not
being loved. Not having one to whom I can give my surprises of love is the most
inexpressible pain for our Supreme Being. So, listen. You must know that I came upon
earth to rescue my residences. Man is my residence, which I had formed with
so much love, and in which - to make it worthy of Me - my Power and the
creative art of my Wisdom had concurred. This residence was the prodigy of our
Love and of our divine hands. Now, by subtracting itself from our Will, our
residence became collapsed and obscured - a residence for enemies and thieves.
What pain for Us! Therefore, my Life down here served to return, to restore and
to rescue this residence, which We had formed with so much love. It was ours
too - it was worthwhile saving it, to be able to reside in it again. I used all
possible imaginable remedies to save this residence: I exposed my very Life in
order to strengthen it and cement it again; I shed all my blood to wash it from
the filth; and with my death I wanted to restore its Life, to make it worthy to
receive again - as His residence - the One Who had created it. Now, having used all the means to save our
residence, it was also decorous for Us to rescue the King who had to reside in
it. Our Love remained hampered half way through the race - as if suspended and
obstructed in Its course. Therefore, the
Kingdom of our Will will rescue that FIAT which was rejected by the creature -
to allow Its entrance inside Its residence, and to make It reign and dominate as
the Sovereign which It is. Saving the residences would not be a work worthy
of our Creative Wisdom, if we left the One Who is supposed to reside in them
wandering around outside with no Kingdom and no dominion. To save the
residences while not saving oneself - being unable to live in the rescued
residences - would be absurd; as if We didn’t have enough Power to save
Ourselves. This will never be. If We
had the Power to save Our creative Work,
We will also have the Power to rescue Our own Life within Our Work. Oh yes, We
will have our Kingdom, and We’ll make unheard-of prodigies to have It! Our
Love will accomplish Its course - It will not stop half way. It will get rid of
the shackles, continuing Its race, bringing the balm to the wounds of the human
will, and adorning these residences with divine ornaments. With Its empire, It
will call our FIAT to reside and reign, giving It all the rights which are due
to It. If the Kingdom of my Will were not certain, why would I fix and restore
the residences? Ah, my daughter, you don’t understand well what ‘not doing our
Will’ means: they take all our rights from Us - they suffocate many of our
Divine Lives. Our Love was - and still
is - so great that in every act of the creature We wanted to create Ourselves
to be loved, to be known, and to have a continuous exchange of Life between Us
and the creatures. It is impossible to do this without our Will. Only our Will
has the Power and the virtue of adapting the creature to receive our Divine
Life, and to put our Love on the path in order to create Ourselves within the
act of the creature. You must know that in everything she does in our Will, an
irresistible force calls Us. We look at her, We reflect ourselves in her, and
with irresistible Love We create our Life,... if you knew what it means to
create our Life! There is such a great display of love that in our emphasis of
love We say: ‘Ah, the creature let Us form our Life in her act!’ We feel the
equality with our Love, Sanctity and Glory, and remain in anxious waiting for
the continuous repetition of her acts in our Will to repeat our Life - to have,
in her act, Ourselves loving and glorifying Ourselves. Only then, We fulfill
the true scope of the Creation: everything serves Ourselves. Even the most tiny
act of the creature serves to repeat our Life, and to display our Love.
Therefore, living in our Volition will
be everything for Us and everything for the creature.
