The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

June 22, 1920

The Sanctity of the Humanity of Jesus was complete absence of self-interest.

I was bringing the whole human family to my sweet Jesus, according to my usual way, praying, repairing, substituting in the name of all, for everything that each one is obliged to do. But as I was doing this, a thought told me: ‘Think about and pray for yourself - don’t you see in what a pitiful state you have reduced yourself?’ And I was almost about to do so, when my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior and pulling me to Himself, told me: "My daughter, why do you want to move away from my likeness? I never thought about Myself - the sanctity of my Humanity was total unselfishness. I did nothing for Myself; rather, I did and suffered everything for the creatures. My Love can be called true, because it is founded on disinterest for my own self. Wherever there is interest, one cannot say that there is a source of truth. On the other hand, the soul with no self-interest is the one who advances the most; and as she advances, the sea of my Grace reaches her from behind, inundating her in such a way that she remains completely submerged, without even thinking about it. One who thinks about herself, instead, is last; the sea of my Grace is in front of her, and she is the one who has to cross the sea by the armful - if she manages at all. In fact, the thought of herself will create many obstacles for her, such as to strike into her the fear of diving into my sea; and she runs the risk of remaining on the shore."
