The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

November 24, 1904

In order to give and to receive it takes union of wills.

Being all afflicted and oppressed, and seeing good Jesus dripping blood, I said:  ‘Blessed Lord, what about me?  Don’t You want to give me at least one drop of Blood as remedy for all my evils?’  And He said to me:  “My daughter, in order to give it takes the will of the one who must give and the will of the one who must receive; otherwise, if someone wants to give and the other does not want to receive, even though the first wants to give, he cannot give.  Likewise, if the first does not want to give, the other cannot receive.  It takes union of wills.  Ah, how many times my grace is suffocated, and my Blood rejected and trampled upon!”  While He was saying this, I saw all people swarming inside the Blood of sweet Jesus; but many would go out of It, not wanting to remain inside that Blood in which all our goods and any remedy for our evils were enclosed.
