VALUE OF ACTS DONE IN THE
DIVINE WILL
Vol. 12, Dec. 6, 1917: "My daughter, how
sweet it is for Me to see, to feel, the soul in my Will. Without realizing it,
she finds herself at the heights of my acts, of my prayers, of the way I acted
when I was on this earth. She places herself almost at my level. In my most
tiny acts, I enclosed all creatures, past, present and future, in order to
offer to the Father complete acts in the name of all creatures. Not even
one breath of the creatures escaped Me, which I did not enclose in Me;
otherwise the Father might have found some exceptions in recognizing the
creatures, and all their acts – because they would not have been done by Me and
have come out from Me. He might have said to Me: ‘You have not done everything
- and for everyone; your work is not complete. I cannot recognize all of them,
because You have not embodied them all within You, and I want to recognize only
what You did.’ Therefore, in the immensity of my Will, of my Love and Power, I
did everything, and for everyone.
So, how could other things,
outside of my Will, ever please Me, as beautiful as they might be? They are
always low, human and finite acts. Instead, the acts in my Will are noble,
divine, interminable and infinite - as my Volition is. They are similar to
mine, and I give them the same value, love, power of my own acts; I multiply
them in everyone; I extend them to all generations and to all times. What do I
care if they are small? They are still my acts that are being repeated, and
that’s enough. And then, the soul places herself in her true nothingness -
not in humility, in which she always feels something of herself. And as a
nothing she enters into the All, and operates with Me, in Me and like Me -
completely stripped of herself, not caring about merit or self-interest, but
all intent only on making Me happy, giving Me absolute lordship over her
acts, without even wanting to know what I do with them. Only one thought
occupies her: to live in my Will, praying to Me that I may give her the honor.
This is why I love her so much, and all my predilections and my Love are for
this soul who lives in my Will. And if I love the others, it is by virtue of
the love which I have for this soul, and which descends from her - just as the
Father loves the creatures by virtue of the Love He has for Me."
And
I: ‘How true it is what You say - that in your Will one wants nothing and wants
to know nothing. If one wants to do something, it is because You have done it.
One feels the ardent desire to repeat your things. Everything disappears; one
no longer wants to do anything.’ And Jesus: "And I make her do everything,
and I give everything to her."
Vol. 12, December 12, 1917: Continuing in my usual state, I was fusing all of
myself in the Holy Will of my sweet Jesus, and I prayed, I loved, I repaired.
And He said to me: "My daughter, do you want a simile for the acts done in
my Will? Look up and you will see the sun - a circle of light, with its limits
and its shape. But the light which comes from this sun, from within the limits
of its circle, fills the earth and extends everywhere - not in a round shape,
but wherever it finds earth, mountains, seas to illuminate and to invest with
its heat; so much so, that with the majesty of its light, with the beneficial influence
of its heat, and by investing everyone, the sun becomes the king of all
planets, and holds supremacy over all created things
.
Now,
such are the acts done in my Will, and still more. In doing her act, the
creature makes it small and limited, but as it enters into my Will, it becomes
immense, it invests all, it gives light and heat to all, it reigns over all, it
acquires supremacy over all the other acts of creatures - it has right over
all. Therefore, she rules, she dominates, she conquers; yet, her act is
small, but by doing it in my Will, it went through an incredible
transformation, which not even Angels are allowed to comprehend. I alone can
measure the just value of these acts done in my Will. They are the
triumph of my Glory, the outpouring of my Love, the fulfillment of Redemption;
and I feel as though repaid for Creation itself. Therefore, always forward, in
my Will."
Now, my daughter, since I
want you together with Me in my Will, I want your continuous act. Therefore,
your awake mind is act, the murmuring of your prayer is act, the movements of
your hands, the beating of your heart, the moving of your glances, are acts. They
may be small, but what do I care? As long as there is the motion, the seed,
I unite them to mine, I make them great, and I give them the virtue of
producing lives.
My acts too were not all
apparently great, especially when, as a little one, I moaned and suckled milk from my
Mama, I amused Myself in kissing her, caressing her, entangling my little hands
with hers. Then, when I was a little older, I picked flowers, I brought the
water, and other things. These were all little acts, but they were united in
my Will, in my Divinity - and this was enough. They were so great as to be able
to create millions and billions of lives. Therefore, as I was moaning,
lives of creatures were coming out from my moans; I suckled, I kissed, I
caressed, but lives were coming out. Souls were flowing in my fingers entangled
with the hands of my Mama; and as I picked the flowers and brought the water,
souls were coming out from the heartbeat of my uncreated Heart, and they
entered into It. My motion was continuous.
Vol. 23, Feb. 20, 1928: …as I united
myself to the unity which my first father Adam possessed before sinning, my
sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, you
have not comprehended well what unity means.
Unity means centralization and origin of all the acts of creatures,
past, present and future. So, before
sinning, when he possessed Our unity, Adam enclosed within his thoughts the
unity of all the thoughts of creatures, the unity of all words, works and
steps. Therefore, I would find in
him, in my unity, the origin, the continuation and the end of all the acts of
the human generations. In my unity, he
enclosed everyone and possessed everything.
So, my daughter, as you rise to that same unity which he left, you
take his place; and placing yourself in the origin of everyone and of
everything, you enclose within yourself the very acts of Adam, with the whole
retinue of all the acts of creatures. To
live in my Will means: ‘I am the origin
of all, from me descends everything, just as everything descends from the
Divine Fiat. So, I am the
thought, the word, the work and the step of all; I take everything, and
everything I bring to my Creator.’ It is
understood that Adam was supposed to possess and enclose everyone, had he not
withdrawn from Our Will and had he always lived in Our unity; and if it were
so, the human generations would all have lived in Our Will. So, one would have been the Will, one the
unity, one the echo of all, placing everything in common, so that each one
would have enclosed everything within himself.”
