DIVINE LIVES
May 21, 1913 - As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, I want the true consummation in you - not imaginary, but true; though in a simple and feasible way. Suppose that a thought came to you which is not for Me; you must destroy it and substitute it with the divine. In this way you will have formed the consummation of the human thought and acquired the life of the divine thought. In the same way, if the eye wants to look at something that displeases Me or does not refer to Me, and the soul mortifies herself, she has consumed the human eye, and acquired the eye of the divine life; and so with the rest of your being. Oh, how I feel these new divine lives flowing in Me, taking part in everything I do! I love these lives so much that I surrender everything for love of them. These souls are first before Me; and if I bless them, through them others are blessed. They are the first to be benefited and loved; and through them, others too are benefited and loved.”
March 19, 1924 - “My daughter, everything you say is true - I am everywhere; but it is my power, immensity and all-seeingness that allows Me to be everywhere, it is not the love and the acting of the creature in my Will that makes Me be everywhere and multiplies Me. But when the soul enters into my Will, it is her love - it is her acts that, being filled with divine virtue, make my Life arise, according to how her acts are more or less extended and are done. This is the reason for my feast in seeing that the creature takes of my own and gives Me my love, my glory, and even my very Life. My contentment is so great that it is not given to the creature to comprehend it while she lives in the exile; but she will comprehend it in the Celestial Fatherland, when she sees herself repaid with as many Divine Lives for as many as she formed upon earth.”
October 6, 1926 - But you must know that my Will is life, and every time the creatures do not do It, and reject It, it is a Divine Life that they reject and destroy within them. And do you think that the pain, the continuous martyrdom of my Will is something trivial - in feeling so many acts of life which It wants to make arise in the creatures with so much goodness, being cut off as though by a deadly sword? In place of this Divine Life which was cut off within them, they make arise the life of passions, of sin, of darkness, of weaknesses. Not doing my Will is Divine Life that creatures lose. Therefore, since It reigns in you, by depriving you of Me, It makes you feel the pain of the many Divine Lives cut off by the creatures, to be repaired and compensated in you for the many acts of life which they make It lose.
February 13, 1927 - Now, my Will has not withdrawn – there is not one point to which Its Divine Life does not extend; there is not one creature which is not invested by this Supreme Will. But while It extends everywhere and invests everything and everyone, It cannot form Its life. How many Divine Lives suffocated in the creatures; how many deny to It the first place in their acts; how many place It after unworthy and vile acts, denying Its dominion to It. And do you think that the destruction of so many Divine Lives of this Will of Mine in the creatures is something trivial? …of so many of Its acts, noble and sublime, which It feels as being destroyed, while they use It to form human lives, deplorable lives, monsters that will serve for hell? Do you think this is trivial, my daughter?
May 24, 1927 - “My daughter, each act that the Divine Will does united with the soul forms a Divine Life, because, being Divine, It cannot help forming Divine Lives within Its acts; in such a way that, wherever It reigns, as the soul operates, speaks, thinks, palpitates, etc., my Divine Will makes Its work, Its word, Its thought and heartbeat flow within that of the creatures - first forming Its act, Its word in them, and then forming the place for Its Divine Life. Therefore, in everything she does, the soul releases from herself so many Divine Lives, as to fill Heaven and earth with as many images of Divine Life. She becomes the reproducer, the bilocator of the Divine Life. My Will is not less powerful in the soul in whom It reigns with the power of Its dominion, than It is within the womb of the Three Divine Persons. Therefore, by possessing the virtue of bilocation, It not only forms in the soul as many lives as It wants, but It forms Its heaven, Its sun, seas of love, flowery fields within her, and makes the soul say to her God: ‘You gave me heaven, and heaven do I give You; You gave me sun, and sun do I give You; You gave me seas and flowery fields, and seas and flowery fields do I give You. Your Will repeats in me everything You have done for me in Creation and in Redemption, so that I may give You everything, just as You gave me everything.' Oh, Power of my Will! What can It not do in the soul in whom It reigns!
