The Food of the Divine Will

THE FOOD THE DIVINE WILL

John 4:32 – “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

Book of Heaven, Oct. 29, 1903

“My daughter, when I see the character of the purpose of Creation impressed in the soul, feeling satisfied with her because I see so well accomplished the work created by Me, I feel a duty - or rather, not a duty”, He immediately added, “because in Me there are no duties, but my duty is a more intense love to repay her, advancing for her part of the celestial happiness - that is, manifesting to her intellect the knowledge of the Divinity; attracting her with the food of eternal truths; amusing her sight with my beauty, making the sweetness of my voice resound to her hearing; to her mouth, my kisses; to her heart, my embraces and all my tendernesses. And this corresponds to the purpose for which I created her, which is: to know Me, to love Me, to serve Me.”

“My daughter, if in addition to the food of love you give Me the bread of your patience - because patient and suffering love is a more solid, more nourishing and fortifying food, for if love is not patient, it can be said that it is empty, light love and with no substance, and therefore it can be said that the necessary materials in order to form the bread of patience are lacking - …so, if you give Me this, I will give you the sweet bread of grace.” And while saying this, He gave me to drink what was inside the chalice he carried in His hand, which seemed sweet, like a sort of liqueur which I am unable to distinguish

Book of Heaven, Oct. 27, 1904

My Will is enough for you in everything. It would be a chastisement if I put you out of the divine sphere and I caused the food of my Will to be lacking to you, which I want you to cherish and esteem above everything. Besides, it is necessary that you remain without suffering for some time in order to form a little void for Justice, so that It may chastise the people.”

Book of Heaven, Oct. 9, 1921

I was thinking, in the act in which my sweet Jesus was having the Last Supper with His disciples; and my lovable Jesus, in my interior, told me: “My daughter, while I was having supper with my disciples, it was not only them that I had around Me, but the whole human family. One by one, I had them near Me, I knew them all, I called them by name. I also called you, I gave you the place of honor between Me and John, and I constituted you little secretary of my Will. And while I divided the lamb, in offering it to my Apostles, I gave it to all and to each

one. That lamb, bled dry, roasted, cut to pieces, spoke of Me; it was the symbol of my Life and of how I was to reduce Myself for love of all. And I wanted to give it to all as delicious food, which represented my Passion, because everything I did, said and suffered, my love converted into food for man. But do you know why I called all and gave the lamb to all? Because I too wanted food from them; each thing that they would do, I wanted to be food for Me. I wanted the food of their love, of their works, of their words - of everything.”

And I: ‘My Love, how can it be that our operating becomes food for You?’ And Jesus: “It is not on bread alone that one can live, but on that to which my Will gives the virtue of being able to make one live; and if bread nourishes man, it is because I want it so. Now, whatever the creature, with her will, disposes to make of her operating – that is the form it assumes. If with her operating she wants to form food for Me, she forms food for Me; if love, she gives Me love; if reparation, she forms for Me reparation. And if in her will she wants to offend Me, she makes of her operating the knife to wound Me, and maybe even to kill Me.”

Do you see, then, with what food this most loving Mother nourishes Her children? It cost Her all Her life, unheard-of pains, the very Life of Her Son, to form within Herself the abundant deposit of this food of my Will, and to keep It ready to nourish all Her children as tender and loving Mother. She could not love Her children more; by giving them this food, Her love had reached the ultimate degree. Therefore, among the many titles that She has, the most beautiful title that could be given to Her is that of ‘Mother and Queen of the Divine Will’.

Now, my daughter, if my Mama did this for the work of Redemption, so must you for the work of the Fiat Voluntas Tua. Your will must have no life in you; and making all the acts of my Will for each creature your own, you will deposit them within yourself; and while repaying my Will in the name of all, you will form within yourself all the necessary food to nourish all generations with the food of my Will. Each saying, each effect, each additional knowledge about It, will be one more taste which that they will find in this food, in such a way that they will eat it with avidity. Everything I tell you about my Volition will serve to whet their appetite and so that they may take no other food, at the cost of any sacrifice. If a food were said to be good, to restore one’s strengths, to heal the sick, to contain all tastes; and even more, to give life, to embellish and make one happy – who would not make any sacrifice in order to take this food? So it will be for my Will. In order to make It loved and desired, knowledge is necessary. Therefore, be attentive - receive within yourself this deposit of my Will, so that, as a second Mother, you may prepare the food for our children. In doing so, you will imitate my Mama. It will cost you much as well, but in the face of my Will any sacrifice will seem nothing to you. Do it as a little one, never descend from my arms, and I will continue to narrate to you the story of my Will.”

And just as the fishes are hidden, disappeared inside the sea, mute, yet they form the glory of the sea and serve as food for man, so do these souls seem disappeared inside the divine sea, mute, yet they form the greatest glory of Creation, and are the primary cause for my letting descend upon earth the delicious food of my Will and of my grace.

Book of Heaven, Oct. 17, 1925

Now, since the Eternal Wisdom has established that the soul too should have food, she was assigned the Supreme Will as delicious food. So, one who takes this food is strong in doing good; she is as though soaked with love for her God. This food increases the divine blood in order to form the growth of the Life of God within her. Like sun, it is reflected in her intelligence, to make her know her Creator and be formed in His likeness. It puts liveliness in the whole soul, in order to put all virtues in force, and it pushes her to new works and to sacrifices unheard-of. The food of my Will gives itself in every instant, at each breath, at night, during the day, in each thing, and as many times as one wants; nor is there any danger, as with corporal food, that in taking too much of it, it may do harm and even produce illnesses - no, no; rather, the more one takes of it, the more it fortifies and raises the soul to the likeness of her Creator. One can remain with one’s mouth always opened, in the act of taking this celestial food. All the opposite for one who does not take this food of my Will. For one who does not take it at all, it can be said that she disposes herself to die eternally. As for one who seldom feeds herself, she is weak and inconstant in good, she is cold in love, she is lacking in divine blood, in such a way that the Divine Life grows as though anemic within her. The light of her intelligence is so dim, that she knows little or nothing of her Creator; and not knowing Him, His likeness is so far away from her, for as much as she is far away from the food of His Will. She is without liveliness in doing good, because she does not have sufficient food; and now patience escapes her, now charity, now detachment from everything; so, the poor virtues live as though strangled, without enough food of my Will. Ah! if one could see a soul without this celestial food, one would weep over her, so many are the miseries and the rubbish with which she is covered. However, there is more for one to compassionate if one sees a creature starved of corporal food, because many times she lacks the means in order to buy it; but the food of my Will is given out for free, therefore one who does not take it deserves condemnation; and the condemnation is formed by herself, because she has rejected the food which gave her life.

Then, afterwards, I heard that various people had suffered contrasts, humiliations and other things; and my sweet Jesus resumed His speaking: “My daughter, just as the body contains bad blood which infects the good one, and it is necessary to apply vesicants, leeches, bloodlettings, in order to draw out the bad blood, otherwise one is in danger of remaining paralyzed for the rest of one’s life; in the same way, the soul who lacks the continuous food of my Will, contains many bad humors, and it is necessary to apply the vesicants of humiliations, in order to draw out the bad humor of self-esteem; the bites of leeches, in order to extract the infected humor of the vainglory of one’s own self; immediate bloodlettings, to block and draw out the bad blood of the little attachments which she keeps forming in her heart toward the people whom she approaches in doing good. Otherwise, those humors would grow so much as to infect everything she does, in such a way as to remain paralyzed in good for the rest of her life. Punctures always do good; they are the sentries of the heart which maintain the blood pure – that is, the intention of the soul upright in doing good. Therefore, if all did good only in order to fulfill my Will, punctures would not be necessary, because my Will is the safeguard against all bad humors. So, punctures are also the penalties for those who do not take enough food of my Will.”

Book of Heaven, Nov. 22, 1925

And this is why I feed you the food of Its knowledges – to make you grow in a divine manner and with Its perfect likeness. And it is for this reason that my Will wants you always with Itself, wherever It operates – that It may give you the act of Its operating, the value which the operating of a Divine Will contains; and you may receive it.”

Book of Heaven, Nov. 2, 1926

“My daughter, my Redemption came as remedy for man, and therefore It serves as remedy, as medicine, as food, for the sick, for the blind, for the mute, and for all kinds of sicknesses. And because they are sick, they do not enjoy nor receive all the strength It contains - all the remedies which I came to bring them for their good. The Eucharistic Sacrament which I left as food in order to give perfect health - many eat It over and over again, but they remain always sick. Poor food of my very Life, hidden under the veils of the accidents of the bread – how many corrupted palates, how many indigestible stomachs, that prevent man from enjoying the taste of my food, and digesting all the strength of my Sacramental Life. So they remain sick; and because they are limbs feverish in evil, they take it with no appetite. This is why I long so much for the coming of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat – because then, everything I did in coming upon earth will serve as food for those who will enjoy perfect health. What is not the difference between a sick person who takes the same food, and another who enjoys perfect health? The sick one takes it without appetite, without taste, and uses it to sustain himself and not to die. The healthy one takes it with appetite, and because he enjoys it, he takes more, and maintains himself strong and healthy. So, what will not be my contentment in seeing that in the Kingdom of my Will everything I did will no longer serve as food for the sick, but as food for the children of my Kingdom, who will be all full of vigor and in perfect health? Even more, by possessing my Will, they will possess my Life, permanently present within them, just as the Blessed in Heaven possess It. Therefore, my Will will be the veil that will hide my Life in them.  The Blessed possess Me within themselves as their own life, because true happiness has its origin inside the soul, and so the happiness which they receive continuously by the Divinity holds hands and exchanges the kiss with the happiness which they possess inside. This is why they are fully happy. In the same way, the soul who possesses my Will will have my perennial Life within her, which will serve her as continuous food – not once a day, like the food of my Sacramental Life. In fact, my Will will make a greater display, and will not be content with giving Itself once a day; rather, It will give Itself continuously, because It knows that these have pure palates and strong stomachs to be able to enjoy and digest, in every moment, the strength, the light, the Divine Life and the Sacraments. My Sacramental Life will serve as food, as delight, as new happiness for the Life of the Supreme Fiat which they will possess. The Kingdom of my Will will be the true echo of the Celestial Fatherland, in which, while the Blessed possess their God as their own life, they receive Him into themselves also from the outside. Therefore, inside and outside of themselves, they possess Divine Life, and they receive Divine Life. What will not be my happiness in giving Myself sacramentally to the children of the eternal Fiat, and in finding my own Life in them? Only then will my Sacramental Life have Its complete fruit; and as the species are consumed, I will no longer have the sorrow of leaving my children without the food of my continuous Life, because my Will, more than sacramental accidents, will maintain Its Divine Life always with Its full possession. In the Kingdom of my Will there will be neither foods nor communions that are interrupted – but perennial; and everything I did in Redemption will no longer serve as remedy, but as delight, as joy, as happiness, and as beauty ever growing. Therefore, the triumph of the Supreme Fiat will give complete fruit to the Kingdom of Redemption.”

“My daughter, in creating man, Our Divinity issued from Ourselves Sanctity, Love, Goodness, Beauty, and so forth, which were to serve man to make himself holy, good, beautiful, and to give Us love for love. Now, Our divine goods have not been taken completely by him, and so they are waiting for one who would take them. Therefore, come into Our goods, come to take the crumbs of Sanctity, of Love, of Goodness, the crumbs of Beauty, of Strength. I say crumbs in comparison with those which you will leave out, because Our goods are immense, and what the creature can take can be called crumbs compared to what she leaves out; but, for her, they fill her so much as to overflow outside. Only then is Our Love content - when It sees the creature loved in Our goods, filled to the brim. Now, these crumbs form many different foods, one more beautiful than the other, which she takes from Our celestial table, and she nourishes herself abundantly from these divine foods; and since one gives of that food which one takes, so, in giving Us her acts - of one who has nourished herself of these divine crumbs which give of sanctity, of beauty, of strength, of love, and has filled herself with such beauty, We immediately recognize that it is food of Our crumbs that she gives Us in her acts, and – oh! how content We remain, that the creature gives Us her acts that give of what is divine; We feel Our fragrances, We touch Our Sanctity and Goodness, and feel requited for the crumbs We gave her.”

My little daughter of my Volition, courage, do not batter yourself, the divine life formed and fed by my Volition cannot die, and if you feel hunger, it is rather that you do not always hear my speaking on the other wonders and novelties that my Will possesses. This interrupted speaking of mine makes you feel the hunger always new for the food that He possesses. But this prepares you to receive the new food of his knowledges in order to make you grow and be fed only of Divine Volition, neither would you submit to take other food, you would shun it and would content yourself with dying of hunger, because one who has tasted him so many times doesn’t know how to adapt to take other foods. But this hunger is also a fortune, because it can serve you as access into the Celestial Country, and you should know that the only food of these divine regions is the new act not ever interrupted of my Divine Will. This food that possesses all tastes, all delights, is the daily food and of all instants in the Celestial Jerusalem. And then feeling hunger says life, not death, therefore wait with unconquered patience (for) the food of my Will, which will re-make you anew from the hunger suffered, with such abundance that you won’t be capable of taking it all.”

Book of Heaven, Feb. 10, 1932

“You should know that the creature, with elevating herself in our Divine Will leaves everything and reduces herself in her nothing. This nothing recognizes her Creator, and the Creator recognizes the nothing that went forth to the light, not the nothing encumbered with things that don’t pertain to Him, no, and finding nothing he fills her with the All. Behold what it means to live in my Will: to empty oneself of all and lightly, lightly fly into the bosom of the Celestial Father in order to make this nothing receive the life of He who created her. Beyond this our Will is our life and our food, and since we have no need of material foods, therefore He gives us the food of his holy works. And since the creature is one of our works, we want to find in her our Will as life, so that not only she but all her works serve us (for) food and we for exchange give her our food. This feeding each other with the same foods forms the agreement between God and the creature. This agreement produces peace, communication of goods, inseparability; it seems that the divine breath/[fiato] breathes in the creature and that of hers in God, that they unite so much as to feel as if the breath/[fiato] of the one (is) as if it might be one alone with the other. Hence agreement of Will, agreement of love, of works happen. We feel that breath/[fiato] that we put forth in the Creation of man, that he broke with doing his will, is reborn anew in the creature; our Will holds the virtue and office to regenerate in her that which she has lost with sin and to reorder her as she went forth from our creative hands.”

Book of Heaven, June 15, 1933

My poor mind is always occupied by the Divine Fiat, that not only wants to make himself life, but also food, because life is not enough without having something to satisfy the hunger, one would die of hunger. Behold therefore often, very often, he gives me the delicious and celestial food of some other truths that require the Divine Volition, so that he not only feeds me, but he raises this life of his in me, and oh, how many times I feel the need that blessed Jesus says something to me that regards his Volition, because I feel myself die of hunger and my amiable Jesus, because He himself wants and gives me this hunger, in visiting my little soul he said to me:

 “My daughter, your desire of being fed by my nourishing word, it wounds my heart, and I wounded, race forth from you, in order to give you my divine food that I alone can give you. My word is life and forms in you Divine life, it is light and illuminates you, and the illuminative virtue remains in you that always gives you light, it is fire that makes the heat arise in you, it is food and feeds you.

The sea of the Divine Volition continues to inundate me, and I being incapable and unable at everything, it seems that he is delighted as to a tiny little one to feed me with his hands, more than maternal, the food of his Fiat, and teaching me word by word, syllable by syllable, the first vowels, of the science of the Divine Will and when it seems that in some way I have understood him, oh! how he makes festive, because he feels the whole certainty of forming a soul all of Divine Will. And I in seeing his maternal cares, how content I am of it and I thank him from the heart. 

Book of Heaven,  May 10, 1937

“My little daughter of my Volition, every truth that I manifest to you on my Fiat is a growth that you make of Him, it is one mouthful more, that serves in order to fortify you, warm you and conform you all the more in Him, it is one sip more that you drink from the immense sea of my Will, it is one Divine property more that you acquire. Now you must know, that every act more that you do in Him, we prepare before you our Celestial table, and if you love, he feeds you our love, if you pass to understand us, he feeds you our Wisdom, and oh how many beautiful news and knowledges he gives you of your Creator, so that your God becomes your choice food, therefore in all that which you do, now he feeds you with our Power, now with our Goodness, now with our sweetness, now with our fortitude, light and our mercy. Hence the human littleness, with living in our Eternal Volition absorbs us sip by sip, mouthful by mouthful, because being little, also for how much it is possible for a creature to take all together that which she must take of our Divine Being, more so that this serves to delight each other, we to give, and she to receive, we to give of ours, and she to give us her littleness, we to work her as we want, and she who lends herself to let us work; it is the exchange on both parts, the harmonizing ourselves to each other, the speaking to each other, that forms our most beautiful works and we develop the life of our Will in the creature, without doing anything, she does nothing. Therefore, it is necessary to work, to speak, to make ourselves understood, to work, in order to make beautiful statues, the repeaters of our life. “Hence when we find one who wants to listen to us, to give themselves to us, in order to receive, we don’t spare anything, of that [which] we are able and know how to do for creatures. Now my daughter, when the creature is fed with our Fiat, even to not knowing other food, and having formed the chain of her acts, all sealed by the characteristics of divine virtues, God remains imprisoned in his divine virtues in the creature, and then, if she loves it is God that makes display of the power of his love, of his goodness, sanctity, et cetera, in the acts of the creature, so that the power is such that goes forth through means of these acts that God does in the creature, that it invests Heaven and earth, flutters over all souls and with his powerful love, invests them, sweeps them away, makes her give the kiss of the Divine Volition in a way that the human family will feel his power, his love, that wants to reign. “More so, that the hidden God gives them this right, through means of a creature that belongs to their human race. Rights that they cannot refuse to acknowledge, unless some perfidious, but my power will know (how) to knock down and conquer. Whence leave me to complete the work of my Will in you, do not oppose in anything, and you and I will be content to see him reign in the other creatures.”
