My poor mind, going around in the acts done by the Divine Will, keeps tracing everything that It has done, in order to recognize them, love them, appreciate them, and then offer them as the most beautiful homage to the same Divine Will, as fruits worthy of Its works.
But while I was doing this, my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, how pleasing it is to My Heart, and how sweet it sounds to My hearing, your tracing everything that My Divine Will has done, in order to recognize it, love it and give it to Us as the most beautiful homage of the Love that We had for creatures, in creating so many things for love of them. By tracing them, your soul rings the bell to as though roll-call all the works come out of the Divine Fiat, so as to say to Us: ‘How many beautiful things You have created for me, to give them to me as gifts and pledges of Your Love. And I, making them my own, give them back to You as gifts and pledges of my love for You.’ So, We feel the palpitating life of the creature in Our works, her little love flowing within Ours, and the purpose of Creation realized. To know Our works, and the purpose for which they were made, is the point of support of the creature, in which she finds a Divine Will in her power; and it is Our pretext for giving her other surprises of new gifts and graces.”
And I: ‘My Love, a thought afflicts me—I fear I may lack the continuation of my acts in Your Divine Will, and as I would interrupt the sound of my bell, You, offended by me, might put me aside, and will not give me any more grace to make me live in Your Will.’
And Jesus added: “My daughter, do not fear; you must know that one step gives life to another step, one good is life and support of another good, one act calls to life another act; and even evil, sin, is life of other evils and of other sins. Things never remain isolated, but almost always have their succession. Good is like the seed, that possesses the generative virtue; as long as one has the patience to sow it into the bosom of the earth, it will produce ten—twenty times as much. The same for the creature; if she has patience and remains attentive to enclose in her soul the seed of the good that she has done, she will have the generation, the multiplicity—one hundredfold, of the good acts that she has done. And if you knew what it means to do a good act! Each act is a protection that she acquires, and a voice speaking before Our Throne of the one who has done a good. For each additional act of good, so many more defenders does the creature have for her defense; and if the circumstances of life cause her to find herself in such constraints and trials that it seems that she might want to vacillate and fall, the good acts that she has done take on the appearance of assailers, and they assail Us, so that the one who has loved Us and has had a succession of many good acts may not vacillate; and they run around the creature as supporters, that she may not give up in the trial. And suppose that there had been a sequence of acts done in Our Will—oh! then in each act there is a Divine Value and virtue defending the creature. We see in each of her acts Our Will as though engaged, therefore We Ourselves make Ourselves Defenders and Supporters of she who has given life in her acts to Our Divine Fiat. Can We perhaps deny anything to Ourselves? Or disregard Our Will operating in the creature? No, no. Therefore, do not fear, but rather, abandon yourself like a little newborn in Our Arms, that you may feel Our Support and the protection of your very acts.
“Do you think that a repeated, continued good is nothing? They are Divine Properties that one acquires, they are armies that are formed, that make one conquer the Celestial Fatherland. It happens to one who has continued many good acts as to someone who has acquired many properties; if he has a setback, it won’t be able to do him much harm, because the many properties will fill the void of the setback that he suffered. But if someone else has acquired little, or possesses nothing, a little setback is enough to leave him destitute, of the most squalid misery. Such is to do much good, or little or nothing. This is why I always repeat to you, be attentive, be faithful to Me, and let your flight in My Will be continuous.”
After this, He added: “My daughter, you must know that when you keep disposing yourself to do your acts in My Divine Will, My Will remains conceived in your act; and as you do it, you give It the field to form Its Life in the act that you do. Not only this; your new acts serve as nourishment to those already done. In fact, since My Divine Will is Life, once It has been enclosed in the acts of the creature, It feels the need of air, of breath, of heartbeat, of nourishment. Here is the necessity of the new acts, because these serve to maintain Its Divine Air, Its continuous breathing, Its uninterrupted heartbeat, and the nourishment in order to grow My very Will in the creature. See then, the great necessity of the continuation of the acts in order to let It live and reign in the creature; otherwise, My Will would be uncomfortable without Its full triumph in all her acts.”
Fiat!!!
