How the Will of God is everything. She sees Father Annibale again, who tells her of his surprises.

I feel my poor mind as though fixed in the center of the Supreme Fiat, and going about around this center, I diffused myself in all of Its acts, embracing everyone and everything in the endlessness of Its light.  But while doing this, I thought to myself:  ‘Why I am to embrace everyone and everything while being in the Divine Will?’  And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, my Will is everything, there is nothing which does not receive life from It, there is not one point at which It is not present, there is not one good effect which does not arise from It – everything is Its own, everything is dependent on It.  Therefore, in the soul in whom It reigns, It wants to find everyone and everything that belongs to It, and if It did not find everyone and everything, It would feel divided in Its empire, separated from Its acts – which cannot be.  This is why, in feeling the life of the Divine Fiat within yourself, together with It you feel everything and everyone; you feel the life of the sun which gives light, which warms and fecundates, as well as the earth which, in breathing this light, vegetates, clothes itself with plants and flowers, and, holding hands, earth and sun sustain and delight all generations.  It is my Will that gives life to the sun, that makes the earth breathe to cheer the whole Creation, making the birds sing, the lambs jump and bleat, and everything that happens in the universe.  Do you not want perhaps to feel all that my Will does?  Enclosing everything in you, as though in one single center, my Will makes you feel the human heart palpitating, the mind thinking, the hands operating; but while It gives life to all this, since creatures are not all for It, It does not find the return of Its divine acts in the acts of the creature, and It wants from you what they do not do.  It wants all of Its acts to be filled by you with the acts of Its very Divine Will.  Therefore, your task is great, and it takes highest attention.”

After this, I found myself outside of myself, and while looking for my sweet Jesus I encountered Father Di Francia.  He was all cheerful, and he told me:  “Do you know how many beautiful surprises I found?  I did not think it would be so when I was on earth, though I thought I had done good by publishing the Hours of the Passion.  But the surprises I found are marvelous, enchanting, of a rarity never before seen:  all the words regarding the Passion of Our Lord changed into light, one more beautiful than the other – all braided together; and these lights grow more and more as creatures do the Hours of the Passion, so more lights add to the first.  But what surprised me the most were the few sayings published by me about the Divine Will:  each saying changed into a sun, and these suns, investing all the lights with their rays, form such a surprise of beauty that one remains enraptured, enchanted.  You cannot imagine how surprised I was at seeing myself in the midst of these lights and these suns – how content I was; and I thanked our Highest Good, Jesus, who had given me the occasion and the grace to do it.  You too, thank Him on my behalf.”

I remained amazed on hearing this, and was doing my prayers in the Divine Fiat, wanting the very Blessed also to take part in them; and my lovable Jesus told me:  “My daughter, even if the soul does not place this intention, everyone takes part in whatever is done in my Divine Will – and much more do the Blessed, who live in the unity of It.  My Will has Its current everywhere, and with Its unifying strength, It brings to all, as Its own act, whatever the creature does in It.  Only, there is this difference:  that if the soul who operates in the Divine Will on earth places the intention of giving special glory to those who live in the Celestial Fatherland, the Blessed hear themselves being called from Heaven, in the unity of my Will, by the one who wants to delight them and glorify them more.  They look at her with so much love and pleasure, as to extend their protection, all special, upon her.  On the other hand, one who does not operate in the unity of my Fiat remains down below, because the strength to ascend up high again is missing; her works possess neither the communicative nor the ascending strength; the currents are closed and are emptied of light.  If you knew the difference between one who operates in the unity of my Will and one who operates outside of It, even doing good, you would not do the slightest thing outside of my Will, at the cost of your life.”  Then, looking at me with love, into my inmost interior, He added:  “My daughter, I have come to see and visit the properties of my love which I deposited in your soul, to see whether everything is in order and intact, just as it was placed by Me.”  Then, after He looked at me all over, He disappeared.
