✞ Signs to know whether the soul is in Grace.
I was doing my acts in the Divine Volition, praying It to invest all my being, so that heartbeats, breaths, words, prayers, might come out of me as many repeated acts of Divine Will. Oh! how I would love to be a continued act of It, to be able to say: “I have in my power all Your acts, Your very love, and therefore I do what You do, and I am not less than You in loving You.” It seems to me that true love cannot restrict itself, but it wants to expand so much as to want the infinite love in its power. And since it is not given to the creature to be able to embrace it, she turns to the Divine Will in order to have it, and plunging herself into It, she says with highest contentment: “I love with infinite love.”
But while my little intelligence was wandering in the Divine Fiat, my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, one who contents himself with the little love that the creature possesses is not of the nature of true love; more so, since the little love is subject to extinguishing, and in contenting oneself, the necessary source comes to be missing, that gives the life in nourishing the flame of true love. This is why, My daughter, Our Paternal Goodness, in creating man, gave him all the freedom to be able to come to Us as many times as he wanted; no limit was set—on the contrary, in order to encourage him more to come to Us very often, We told him in advance that each time he would come he would be given the beautiful surprise of a new gift. For Our inextinguishable Love it would have been a sorrow if It did not have always something to give to Its children; even more, It anxiously awaits for their coming to give them now a surprise, now another, of gifts one more beautiful than the other. Our Love wants to banquet together with the creature and is happy with preparing the banquet at Its own expenses, so as to have the occasion to always give. It acts just like a father who wants the crown of his children around him—not in order to receive, but to give and prepare feasts and banquets, so as to amuse himself together with his children. What sorrow would it be for a loving father, if the children did not go or he had nothing to give them? For Our Paternal Goodness there is no danger that We might have nothing to give him; but there is the danger that the children would not come—and Our Love raves for It wants to give. And in order to be more sure on where the creature must put Our Gifts, It wants to find in her Our Divine Will, that will preserve the infinite value of Our Gifts, and the creature will no longer feel little in her love, in her prayers, in her acts, but together with Our Will she will feel that an infinite vein flows within her, in such a way that everything becomes infinite for her: love, prayers, acts and everything. Therefore, she will feel within herself the contentment that she is not less than Us in loving Us, because she has a Divine Volition in her power, and It runs in her acts.”
Then, I continued my round in the acts that the Omnipotent Fiat had done in Creation, in order to love, honor and thank what It had done in it; and I comprehended the order, the union, the inseparability that all created things possess—and this, only because a Divine Will dominates them. So, the whole Creation can be called a single continuous act of Supreme Will, and since one is the Will that reigns, It maintains the peace, the order, the love, the inseparability among all created things. Otherwise, if there were not one Will alone to dominate them, but more than one, there would not be true union among them; on the contrary, the heavens would wage war against the sun, the sun against the earth, the earth against the sea, and so forth. They would imitate men, who do not let themselves be dominated by one single Supreme Volition, and there isn’t true union among them, but one is against the other. My Jesus, my Love, oh! how I wish to be one single act of Your Will, to be at peace with all, and possess the union, the inseparability of the heavens, of the sun, of everything; and You would find in me the love that You placed in the heavens, in the sun, in everything.
And my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, all things created by Us possess the unitive force and the bond of inseparability. Our Divine Fiat, as much as It is able to do things that are distinct among themselves, in such a way that one created thing cannot say: ‘I am like another’—the heavens cannot say that they are sun, the sun cannot say that it is sea—however, It does not know how to do things that are isolated and separate from other another. It likes union so much, that It puts them in the condition that one cannot separate from the other; and while they are distinct and each one does its office, yet, in the motion, in the going around that they do, the union and the order that they have is so great, that one is the motion, one is the incessant round that they do. But why does My Fiat make them move and go around continuously? To give them the race of love toward He who created them; and to make them run toward the creatures, so as to let them exercise their office of offering the love of their Creator, since for the creatures were they created.
“Now, the creature possesses the bond of all created things and goes around together with them; and here is how, if you breathe, it is the air that allows you to breathe, to palpitate, and your blood to circulate in your veins. Now, the air gives you the breath, the heartbeat, and then it takes it to give it back to you again; and while it incessantly gives and takes your breath, it goes around—it runs together with all created things; and your breath goes around—it runs together with the air. Your eye, by filling itself with light, runs within the sun; your feet run together with the earth. But do you know who has the great good of feeling, vividly, the force, the union, the order, the inseparability of all created things, and the race of her whole being toward her Creator? One who lets herself be dominated, and possesses the Life of My Will. My Will has changed nothing of the way in which all things originated; but rather, it is the creature that changed things by not doing My Will. But one who does It, and lets herself be dominated, holds her place of honor as she was created by God, and therefore We find her in the sun, in the heavens, in the sea, together with the union of all created things. And—oh! how beautiful it is to find, together with all things created by Us, her, only for love of whom were they made by Us.”
Fiat!!!
