The intention forms the life of the action, it forms the veil to hide the Divine Action. The hidden Actor.


My poor mind is always occupied by the Divine Fiat that not only wants to make Itself Life, but also nourishment, because it is not enough to have life without having enough to eat, one would die of hunger.  This is why very often He gives me the Predilect and Celestial nourishment of some other Truths that regard His Volition, because I feel myself dying of hunger.

And My Lovable Jesus, because He Himself wants and gives me this hunger, in visiting my little soul, told me:  “My daughter, your desire to be nourished by My Nourishing Word wounds My Heart, and I, wounded, run to you in order to give you My Divine Nourishment that only I can give you.  My Word is Life, and forms the Divine Life in you.  It is Light, and Illuminates you, and the Illuminating Virtue remains in you that always gives you Light.  It is Fire, and it makes the Heat rise in you.  It is Food, and it Nourishes you.  Now you must know that I do not look at the external action of the creature, but at the intention that forms the life of the action.  The intention is as the soul of the action; the action is as the veil of the intention.  It happens like the soul to the body, that it is not the body that thinks, that speaks, that palpitates, that works and that walks, but the soul that gives life to the thought, to the word, to the motion, so that the body is the veil of the soul, that while it covers the soul and acts as bearer for it, yet the vital part, the action, the step, is of the soul. Such is the intention, true life of the actions.  

“Now, if you call My Divine Will as Life of your mind, as Heartbeat of your heart, as Action of your hands, and so forth, you will form the Life of the Intelligence of My Will in your mind, the Life of Its Actions in your hands, Its Divine Step in your feet, in a way that everything that you do will serve as veil for the Divine Life that you have formed in the interior of your acts with your intention.  But what is this intention?  It is your will that, appealing to Mine, empties itself and forms the void in one’s act in order to give the place of action to My Will.  And acting as veil, it hides even in the most ordinary and natural actions, the Extraordinary Action of a God, such that from the outside common actions are seen, but if one removes the veil of the human volition, one finds the Operating Virtue of the Divine Action enclosed.  And this forms the Sanctity of the creature, not the diversity of actions, not the works that make noise, no, but common life, the necessary actions of life, of which the creature cannot do without.  They are all veils that can hide Our Will, and make itself field where God abases Himself in order to act as hidden Actor of His Divine Actions.  And as the body veils the soul, so the will veils God; it hides Him and by means of her ordinary actions forms the chain of the Extraordinary Actions of God in her soul.  Therefore be attentive, call My Will in everything you do, and It will never deny you Its Act, in order to form in you, for as much as it is possible for a creature, the Fullness of Its Sanctity.”
