✞ Signs to know whether the soul is in Grace.
My abandonment in the Supreme Fiat and my flight in all of Its acts are continuous. While going around in the Creation, I was thinking of the order and harmony of all created things, and of the multiplicity of the acts of the eternal Volition in the whole universe. But while I was thinking of this, my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, God is one single act, and if many acts can be seen in Creation, they are nothing but the effects of the one act of God. It happens as to the Sun: the Sun is one, Its light is one, but as Its light touches the earth and rapidly extends over it, the effects of It are innumerable. One can say that It produces a distinct effect over each thing that It touches – distinct in the color, in the sweetness and in the substance It infuses in each thing It touches with Its hands of light. It seems that the Sun creates many subsequent acts, one more beautiful than the other, but it is not true - they are nothing but the effects of Its one act of light. In fact, the power of one single act has the virtue of producing many effects, as if they were many subsequent and distinct acts, as indeed they are. So, all that you see in the whole universe are nothing but the effects of the one single act of God; and because it is one single act, it possesses the virtue of order and harmony in all of the effects it produces.
The same happens to the soul who lives in my Divine Will. By living in the one act of God, she feels all the effects of that single act of God in all of her acts; she feels within her the order, the harmony, the beauty, the strength of the one divine act which, more than light, produces so many effects that she feels heavens, suns, seas, flowery fields and everything that is good in Heaven and on earth being produced in her acts. What can one who lives in my Will not enclose of great and of good? Everything. She is the true Sun which, in whatever It does or touches, produces different shades of beauty, of sweetness, of goodness and of multiple effects, because all of Its acts hang on the one act of the One who created It.”
After this, I was thinking of the great good that what is done in the Divine Will encloses, and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, that which is done in my Divine Will encloses an incalculable value. It is as if the soul had two scale pans in her hands, placing in each pan an object of equal weight and of equal value. One is the weight of these objects, one the value, one the price that she can collect. Now, in one pan she places God and His Will; in the others she places the soul and her acts done in It. As the two pans rise, they remain perfectly balanced, and they both elevate to the same level, because, since the Will of God and that of the soul are one, wherever It operates, whether in God or in the creature, one is the value. My Will alone elevates the soul to the likeness of her Creator; her works done in It place her in the order of the divine works.”
After this, I was feeling oppressed and I thought to myself: ‘What a change! Before, my sweet Jesus would always come; it seemed that He could not be without me; and now… days and days, and He does not hasten at all, nor does He run toward me as He used to do before, when He sees that I cannot take any more. It seems that when He comes, it is to say things that regard His Fiat; it seems that this alone interests Him – my extreme need of Him no longer breaks through to Him.’ Now, while I was thinking of this and of other things, He moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, I am behaving with you as I did with my Mama. During my life We always lived together, except for the three days when I was lost, and besides, wherever the Mother was, there was the Son, and wherever the Son was, there was the Mother – We were inseparable. Then, when the fulfillment of Redemption came and I had to carry out my public life, We separated, even though the one Will that animated Us kept Us always identified with each other. However, it is certain that our persons were far from each other – one was in one place, one in another. But since true love does not know how to be separated for too long from the beloved, nor can it be, because they feel the irresistible need to rest in each other, and to confide to each other their secrets, the outcome of their undertakings and their sorrows, this is why, now I would make my little escapes to see Her again, now the Queen Mother would leave Her nest to see again Her Son who wounded Her from afar; and again, We would separate to give course to the work of Redemption.
So I am doing with you: before, I used to be always with you, as indeed I am still now, but since we must work for the Kingdom of my Divine Will and you must fling yourself into Its acts, the work seems to move us away from each other. And while you work, I work in preparing more work for you to do, by making you know more things about my Fiat and that which you must follow in It. But I come back often to receive and to give you rest. Therefore, do not be surprised; this is required by the great work of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven. So, trust Me and do not fear.”
