The Difference between the Sacraments and the Divine Will

 Luisa:  I thought to myself:  “What difference is there between the Sacraments and the Divine Will?”

And my Sovereign Jesus, tearing his Eucharisti“My blessed daughter, the difference is Great between the one and the other.  The Sacraments are the Effects of My Will; on the other hand, It is Life, and as Life, with Its Creative Power It forms and gives Life to the Sacraments.  The Sacraments do not have the virtue of giving Life to My Will, because It is Eternal, It has neither beginning nor end.  Instead, My Adorable Will always occupies the First Place in all things, and possessing the Creative Virtue by Its Nature, It creates things and Its own Life, where It wants, when and how It wants.  One can tell the difference, an image of which is between the sun and the effects that the sun produces:  these do not give life to the sun, but they receive the life of the sun and must remain at its disposition, because the sun produces the life of the effects.  

“And then, the Sacraments they receive according to time, to places and to circumstances.  Baptism is given one time, and no more.  The Sacrament of Penance is given when one falls into sin.  My very Sacramental Life is given only one time a day.  And the poor creature, during this length of time, does not feel over herself the Strength, the help of the Baptismal Waters that Regenerate her continuously, nor the Sacramental Words of the Priest that fortify her in a continuous way by saying to her:  ‘I absolve you from your sins.’  Nor does she find in her weaknesses and trials of life, not even her Sacramental Jesus whom she can take at all the hours of the day.  

“On the other hand, My Divine Will, possessing the Primary Act of Life and of being able to give Life, with Its Empire holds the continuous Act over the creature.  In every instant It gives Itself as Life, Life of Light, of Sanctity, of Love, Life of Strength.  In sum, as It is Life, the times, circumstances, places, hours, do not exist.  There are no restrictions, or laws, especially because It must give Life, and Life is formed with acts that are continuous, not intermittent.  And therefore in the ardor of Its Love, with Its continuous Empire, one can say that It is continuous Baptism, Absolution never interrupted, and Communion at every instant—even more, because this Our Will was given to man at the Beginning of his Creation as Perennial Life Living in him.  This was the Substance, the Fruit of Creation:  Our Will that must form Our Life in the creature.  With this Life We gave everything.  There was nothing that he could have been able to have need of, which he would not find in this Will of Ours.  One can say that he would have found at his disposition all that he could have wanted:  Help, Strength, Sanctity, Light.  c Veils, let Himself be seen, and giving a sorrowful sigh, He told me:
