The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

August 21, 1932

Desire and need of Jesus that He hear the “I love You” of the creature. How His Love remains bankrupt. Love, the blood of the soul. Anemia that exists in the world.

I was going around in the acts of the Divine Will, and O! how I would want to give the exchange of my acts with Its Acts.  And being too little and incapable of being able to do equivalent acts in order to exchange Its Acts, I put forth my little “I love You,” because even though it is little, Jesus wants it, He awaits it in order to tell me:  “The Newborn of My Will has put Our Acts in hers, so they are no longer alone, but have the company of her for whose sake they were Created.  And this was and is Our Will—to give the field of action to the creature in Our same Acts in order to be able to say to her:  ‘We Love and Operate in one single field.’”

But I thought to myself:  “What great thing is this little ‘I love You’ of mine that Jesus wants and Loves so much?”

And my beloved Jesus, all goodness, told me:  “Little daughter of My Volition, you must know that I Love your ‘I love You,’ and I am always in the act of waiting for it.  I Love you always, nor do I ever cease Loving you.   And if you stop loving Me, I feel that I give you My continuous Love, and you do not give it to Me, and My Love feels as though robbed by you.  On the contrary, when My ‘I Love you’ runs and finds yours prompt to give to Me and to receive My ‘I Love you,’ Mine feels repaid.  And it happens that your ‘I love You’ gives Mine no time, nor does Mine give yours any time.  A race, a contest of Love occurs between Creator and creature.  More so, when I see that you are about to tell Me ‘I love You,’ My Will invests your ‘I love You’ to make it from little, Great; and I find My Love in yours.  How could I not Love and want it? 

“Daughter, they are My usual Stratagems, My Industries, because I give in order to receive.  This is My Commerce:  I Love, I give Love in order to receive Love.  And when I am not Loved, My Commerce is bankrupt, and since My Passion is Love, I neither tire, nor do I draw back.  I begin all over.  I repeat, I repeat the Industries; I abound with Stratagems and with Tenderness in order to redo My bankrupt Love in the creature.  O! if you knew how wounded and sorrowful My Heart is when I say ‘I Love you,’ and she does not hear My Call that I make her in order to have hers.

“In addition to this, you must know that Love is the blood of the soul, and My Will the Life.  And just as in the natural order life cannot function without blood, and blood cannot circulate if there isn’t a life—and according to the abundance of blood, so one enjoys health—the same in the supernatural order.  The soul and My Divine Will cannot function without the blood of Love.  However more Love there is, so much more will the soul feel strong, robust, and active in operating.  Otherwise, she will suffer anemia and end in consumption. 

“So, when there is not enough blood of Love, My very Will, for however much it is Life, becomes sick and inoperative in the soul, because she lacks the blood of Love in order to function.  All virtues are made anemic, and patience, strength, sanctity, all these virtues are seen faded, changed into defects.  Therefore, there is much anemia in the world, because it lacks the pure blood of My Love, and accordingly they go toward a terrible consumption that brings them to ruin in the soul and in the body. 

“This is why I Love your ‘I love You’ so much, and I want it in all My Acts, in all created things, and in every act of the creature in order to be able to form much blood as antidote and remedy to the anemia that exists, and this will be preparatory to the Kingdom of My Will.  Therefore I feel the need of your love.  It is true that it is little, but I do not look at whether it is little or great, rather I look at whether it was done in the Power of My Will, which makes the littlest acts Great for Me, and invests them with such Beauty as to enrapture Me.  Therefore it is enough for you to know that I want it, it pleases Me, and makes Me content, for you to do it, whether I see it as being little or great.  And this ‘I love You’ of yours I want in the heartbeat of your heart, in the air that you breathe, in the heavens, in the sun, in sum, in everything.  O! how I would want to see that your ‘I love You’ invests Heaven and earth, creatures and Creator.”
