The soul who lives in the Divine Will lives in Jesus, at His expense.


Continuing in my usual state, I was trying to pour all of myself into the Holy Will of Jesus, and I prayed Him to pour all of Himself into me, in such a way that I would no longer feel myself, but only Jesus. And blessed Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, when the soul lives in my Will, and everything she does, she does in my Volition, I feel her everywhere. I feel her in my mind, and her thoughts flow within mine; and as I diffuse the life of intelligence in the creatures, she diffuses herself together with Me in the minds of creatures; and as she sees that I am being offended, she feels my pain. I feel her in my heartbeat - even more, I feel one heartbeat for two inside my Heart; and as my Love pours into the creatures, she pours herself together with Me, and loves with Me; and if I am not loved, she loves Me for everyone to repay Me in love, and she consoles Me. In my desires I feel the desire of the soul who lives in my Will; in my works I feel hers, and so with everything. Therefore, one can say that she lives at my expense."

And I: ‘My love, You do everything by Yourself, and do not need the creature. Why, then, do You love so much that the creature live in your Will and of your Will?’ And Jesus: "Indeed I need nothing, and I do everything by Myself; but in order to have life, Love wants Its outpouring. Imagine a sun, which needs no light - it is sufficient for itself and for others. But still, since there are other little lights, even if it does not need them, it wants them within itself for company, to pour itself out and to enlarge the little lights. What wrong would the little lights not commit, if they refused? Ah! my daughter, when the will is alone, it is always sterile; when it is alone, love languishes and dies down. And I love the creature so much that I want her united with my Will, so as to render her fecund and give her the life of love; and I find my outpouring, since I created the creature only to pour out my love - for nothing else. So, this is all my commitment."
