G. Oh God, come to reign in us.
E. Lord, let your Will come quickly.
Glory be to the Father…..
HYMN Vol. XII, April 8, 1918
Oh, how the living in your Divine Will
is to enter into the realm of eternity;
it is to penetrate
into the all-powerfulness of God,
into the uncreated mind – and disappear!
It is to take part in each divine act
and to enjoy all of the divine qualities,
as much as a creature can!
It is to take everything
and to give everything to everyone;
it is that extending oneself
into everything and everyone,
without ever becoming exhausted!
It is the holiness that is still unknown,
that will put the final ornament on man-
the brightest and the most beautiful-,
and which will be the fulfillment
and the crown of all!
It is to take the divine love of the Father,
and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, as one’s own,
and give it to them and to everyone! Amen.
Ant. It is the little acts put together that form holiness.
Psalm Vol. XI, January 10, 1917
My child, holiness is formed of little things;
so, whoever disregards little things
cannot he holy.
It would be like someone who neglects
the little grains of wheat which, taken together,
form the pile of wheat.
By failing to gather them
he would lack the necessary and daily
nourishment of human life.
Similarly, whoever does not apply himself
to gathering together so many little acts,
would lack the nourishment of holiness.
And just as one cannot live without nourishment,
so too, without the nourishment of the little acts,
he would lack the true form of holiness,
and the sufficient mass to form holiness.
Glory be to the Father….
Ant. It is the little acts put together that form holiness.
SHORT READING Vol. XI, February 28, 1912
“My child, those who love me are united to me as the branches of a tree are united to the trunk. Could there ever be any separation, any forgetting each other, or different nourishment for the branches and the trunk? Their life is one, their purpose is one, their fruits are the very same. What is more, the trunk is the life of the branches and the branches are the glory of the trunk; they are both one and the same. This is how the souls that love me are with me.”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XI, February 24, 1912
G. The soul that lives in my Will *loses its own temperament and acquires
mine.
E. The soul that lives in my Will *loses its own temperament and acquires
mine.
G. One notices in it a pleasant, attractive, penetrating, noble temperament
and a child-like simplicity.
E. *loses its own temperament and acquires mine.
G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
E. The soul that lives in my Will *loses its own temperament and acquires
mine.
Ant. Blessed is the soul that lives in the Divine Will; all generations will call it blessed!
Canticle (Spiritual testament of Luisa)
Ant. Blessed is the soul that lives in the Divine Will; all generations will call it blessed!
PRAYER
Merciful Father, by the most precious blood of Jesus, his wounds, his passion and all that he did and suffered for us, we beseech you for the salvation of all souls and for the extension of the Kingdom of your Divine Will on earth.
Amen.
May the Lord put an end to the night of the human will, and let us rest in the divine. Amen.

Week 2 - Evening Prayer - Day of the Passion
G. Oh God, come to reign in us.
E. Lord, let your Will come quickly.
Glory be to the Father…..
HYMN Vol. XII, January 2, 1921, February 2, 1921
What honor, what glory, what joy and satisfaction,
for you, of most holy Trinity,
is the fulfillment of your third Fiat!
It is complete the glory and the honor of the Fiat
of creation; and it will confirm the development
of the fruits of the Fiat of redemption!
Oh, how the Fiat Voluntas tua,
on earth and it is in heaven⁴
will be the fulfillment and crown of everything,
just as the original splendor of man!
Yes, these three divine Fiats
will be the shadow of the most holy Trinity;
they will be one and three, inseparable
but distinct between themselves,
and each will be the life of the other!
Eternal love be to the creating Fiat of the Father,
immense love to the redeeming Fiat of the Son
and to the sanctifying Fiat of the Holy Spirit,
in the unity of the light of the Divine Will! Amen.
Ant. 1 My passion began as soon as I was conceived.
Psalm 1 Vol. XII, February 4, 1919
My child, see with what an excess of love
I loved the creature: my divinity was too jealous to entrust
the creature with the mission of the redemption,
making me suffer the passion.
4 “Your Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
The creature was powerless to make me die a death
for each creature that existed
and that would see the light of day,
and for each mortal sin
that it would have had the misfortune of committing.
The divinity wanted life for each death
that was caused by mortal sin.
Who could have been so powerful over me
to give me so many deaths, except the divinity?
Who would have had the power, the love and the constancy
to see me die so many times,
except the divinity?
The creature would have grown weary
and would have given out.
And don’t think that this work
of the divinity began late. No.
It began as soon as I was conceived
in the womb of my mother
(who many times was aware of my pains
and was martyred, and felt death together with me).
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 1 My passion began as soon as I was conceived.
Ant.2 The passion that creatures gave me was the image of what the divinity made me suffer.
Psalm 2 Vol. XII, February 4, 1919
Right from the womb of my mother,
my divinity assumed the function of loving executioner;
but because it was loving
it was more demanding and inflexible,
so much so, that not even a thorn
or a nail was spared my moaning humanity.
But it wasn’t like the thorns, the nails
and the scourges that I suffered in the passion
that creatures gave me.
These did not multiply
they remained as many as they gave me.
On the contrary, those that the divinity gave me
were multiplied at every offense.
So, there were as many thorns for as many bad thoughts;
as many nails for as many unworthy works;
as many lashes for as many illicit pleasures;
as many pains for as many offenses of all kinds.
So, they were oceans of pains
of thorns and of nails,
and countless lashes.
In comparison to the passion that the divinity gave me,
the passion that creatures gave me the last day of my life
was nothing more than a shadow and an image
of what the divinity made me suffer
during the course of my life.
This is why I love souls so much:
they are lives that they cost me,
they are pains inconceivable to the created mind.
So, enter into my divinity
to see and to understand what I suffered.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant.2 The passion that creatures gave me was the image of what the divinity made me suffer.
Ant. 3 With what attention and respect the soul must meditate on my passion.
Psalm 3 Vol. XI, October 13, 1916
My child, during the course of my mortal life,
thousands of angels
were in attendance around my humanity,
gathering up all that I did:
my steps, my works, my sighs, my pains,
the drops of my blood, in a word, everything.
They were angels appointed to my care,
to honor me, obedient to all my gestures.
They came and went from heaven,
taking to the Father the things that I did.
These angels have a special office now:
as the soul recalls my life, my passion,
my prayers, they come together around this soul
and gather its words, its prayers,
its compassion for me, its tears and its offerings.
They unite them all to mine
and bring them before my majesty
to renew for me the glory of my own life.
The angels are so pleased
that in reverence they listen to what the soul says,
and pray together with it.
So, how attentive and respectful the soul must be
when it does the hours of my passion,
mindful that the angels hang on its lips
to repeat after it the things it is saying!
Glory be to the Father……
Ant. 3 With what attention and respect the soul must meditate on my passion.
SHORT READING Vol. XII, May 8, 1919
“Creatures were incapable of penetrating into my interior and make me suffer pains for the glory they had denied the Father by all the offenses committed in their interior. Even more so, because these wounded the most noble part of the creature which is the intellect, the memory and the will, where the divine image is sealed. So it was almost necessary for the divinity itself to assume this commitment and to be my loving executioner, to receive full satisfaction for all the sins committed in the interior of man.”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XII, April 19, 1919
G. I did *everything that each soul was obligated to do toward its Creator.
E. I did *everything that each soul was obligated to do toward its Creator.
G. I had to give the Father glory, love and complete satisfaction for all
created things.
E. Everything that each soul was obligated to do toward its Creator.
G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
E. I did *everything that each soul was obligated to do toward its Creator.

INVITATORY
HYMN Vol. X, February 8, 1911
O my Jesus, you are love, you are all love; and love
I want, love I desire, love I long for,
love I implore you, and love I beseech you!
Love invites you, love is my life,
love carries my heart away
to the bosom of my Lord.
Love inebriates me, love is my delight!
Only me, just for you,
only you, just for me!
Now that we are alone, let us speak of love.
Ah, make me understand how much you love me!
In your Will, in your love,
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
with Mother Mary and Luisa,
eternal and divine love be to you, oh Jesus! Amen.
Ant. 1 When I created man, in an excess of love, I breathed my almighty Fiat into him, wanting to infuse my own life in him.
Psalm 1 Vol. XII, March 22, 1919
My daughter, look what harmony,
what order in all created things; and see
how they all received life from the eternal Fiat.
So, everything cost me a Fiat;
the smallest star as well as the shining sun,
the smallest plant as well as the largest tree,
the tiniest insect as well as the very greatest.
Oh, how eloquently creation speaks of the power of my Will,
and teaches that from the greatest thing
to the smallest, their value is the same
if they have life from the Divine Will,
and that the glory they give
to our Creator is all alike.
It was not so in the creation of man.
It is true that his origin is my Fiat,
but this was not enough for me.
In an excess of love I breathed into him,
wanting to infuse my own life in him.
I endowed him with reason, I made him free,
and established him king of all creation.
But, how did ungrateful man correspond to me?
Of all creation only he
has become the sorrow of my heart,
the note out of tune.
And then, what shall I say to you
about my work in the sanctification of souls?
Not just one Fiat,
not my breath have I placed at their disposal,
but my own life, my love, my wisdom.
And yet, how many refusals, how many defeats
does my love receive!
Ah, my child, take pity on my intense pain,
and come into my Will to make up to me
for the love of all the human family,
and to soothe my broken heart.
Glory be to the Father….
Ant. 1 When I created man, in an excess of love, I breathed my almighty Fiat into him, wanting to infuse my own life in him.
Ant. 2 The one to whom I spoke about my Will was the most preferred.
Psalm 2 Vol. XI, September 29, 1912
Lord, you spoke to one about your passion,
to another about your heart,
to another about your cross…
Who did you most prefer?
Do you know who was most preferred by me?
The soul to whom I manifested the wonders,
the power of my most holy Will.
All the other things are parts of me,
whereas, my Will is the center, the life
and the ruler of all.
So, my Will has directed the passion,
has given life to my heart,
has exalted the cross.
My Will embraces everything,
grasps everything and gives effect to everything.
So, my Will is more than everything.
Consequently, the soul to whom I have spoken
about my Will was the most preferred,
above all others.
Oh, how it should thank me
for having admitted it to the secrets of my Will!
Especially since the soul that is in my Will
is in my passion, in my heart;
it is all the beauty of my cross
and it is my same redemption.
There are no dissimilarities
between this soul and me.
So, I want you all in my Will,
if you want to take part in all my goods.
Glory be to the Father...
Ant. 2 The one to whom I spoke about my Will was the most preferred.
Ant. 3 The true consummation takes place in a simple way.
Psalm 3 Vol. XI, May 21, 1913
My child, I want the true consummation in you,
not imaginary, but true,
yet in a simple, attainable way.
Suppose a thought comes to you
that is not for me.
You must destroy it
and substitute it with the divine.
This way, you will have consumed
the human thought,
and will have acquired the life
of the divine thought.
Similarly, if the eyes want to look at something
that displeases me or that does not refer to me,
and the soul mortifies itself,
it has consumed the human eyes
and has acquired the eyes of the divine life;
and so on with all the rest of your being.
Oh, how I feel these new
divine lives flow in me.
They take part in everything I do.
I love these divine lives so much,
that for love of them I give in to everything!
These souls are the first before me;
and if I bless them,
the others are blessed through them.
They are the first to be favored and loved,
and through them the others
are provided for and loved.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 3 The true consummation takes place in a simple way.
SHORT READING Vol. XI, May 9, 1912
“My child, if the human will doesn’t want anything but me alone, if the intellect is not occupied with anything but knowing me, if the memory does not call to mind anything but me alone: here you have consummated the three powers of the soul in love. Similarly with the senses: if you speak only of me, if you listen only to what regards me, if you relish only what is mine, if you work and walk only for me, if the heart loves only me, if the desires desire only me – here is the consummation of love formed in the senses. Love has a sweet enchantment that makes the soul happy, and that makes it blind to all that is not love, and makes it ‘all eyes’ to everything that is love.”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XI, August 17, 1912
G. To think about oneself reduces the soul; on the contrary, whoever does
not think about himself, *gives me rightful honor.

Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

HYMN Vol. XII, April 14, 1917
Oh, what deep roots
does the holiness of your Will
sink into the soul that lives in it,
all hidden in its God!
How stable it is, not subject to
inconstancy or to voluntary defects!
What attention to its own duties:
it is always the most sacrificed!
It rises up so high,
that its flowers and its fruits
all blossom in heaven,
and are the joy of paradise!
It holds everything in common with you, oh Jesus,
it has nothing of its own.
Its only passion is the Divine Will,
and the divine Fiat is its continuous motion! Amen.
Ant. Love has its anxieties; the Divine Will, on the contrary, is rest.
Psalm Vol. XI, April 10, 1914
Love has its anxieties,
its desires, its fervor, its restlessness;
my Will, on the contrary, is unending rest.
Do you know why?
Because love contains the beginning, the means
and the end of the work.
So, to bring a work to completion
anxieties and restlessness arise,
and much bitterness and imperfection
are mixed in with them.
And if my Will and love are not joined
little by little, poor love:
how dishonored it is,
even in the greatest and holiest works.
On the contrary, my Will works in one simple act:
the soul leaves all the activity
of the work to my Will;
so, while my Will works, the soul rests.
My Will acts in the soul, not the soul.
The result is there are neither anxieties
nor restlessness,
and the work is free from any imperfection.
Glory be to the Father….
Ant. Love has its anxieties; the Divine Will, on the contrary, is rest.
SHORT READING Vol. XI, August 24, 1915
“How can those words I said when creating man, be explained: Let us make man to our image and likeness? How could the creature, so incapable, ever resemble me and be my image? Only in my Will could it achieve that, since by taking possession of it, it works in the divine way; and by repeating these divine acts it acquires my likeness, and becomes my perfect image. So, the only thing that makes man resemble me is my Will. This is why I am so interested that the creature take possession of it, and fulfill the true purpose for which it was created.”

HYMN Vol. XII, May 28, 1920
Oh, how the acts done
in your most holy Will
enter into the sphere of eternity
and take the first places there!
It makes no difference
if they were done in one age or another,
if they are small or great;
it is enough for them to have been done in your Will!
What supremacy they have over everyone!
They become light in the eternal light
and so they leave everything behind,
being the first among all!
Glory, love and reparation
to you, supreme Majesty,
in the name of all men,
in our most holy Will! Amen.
Ant. 1 The souls that do my Will are queens.
Psalm 1 Vol. XI, March 15, 1912
My Will is the holiness of holinesses.
Consequently, the soul that does my Will according to the
perfection that I am teaching you,
that is, as on earth as it is in heaven,
for however small, ignorant and ignored it may be,
leaves behind even other saints
in spite of the wonders, the most striking conversions
and the miracles worked by them.
What is more, in a comparison, the souls that do my Will
as it is done in my third Fiat, are queens,
and all the others are as if they were in their service.
The soul that does my Will,
seems to be doing nothing, yet it does everything.
Because, being in my Will,
these souls act in the divine way,
hiddenly and in an astonishing way.
So, they are light that illuminates,
winds that purify, fire that burns,
miracles that make miracles be done.
In reality, those that do them are channels,
whereas in these souls there resides the power.
They are the feet of the missionary
and the tongue of the preacher,
the strength of the weak and the patience of the sick,
the discipline of the superiors
and the obedience of the subjects,
the tolerance of the slandered
and the firmness of the wavering.
They are the heroism of the heroes,
the courage of the martyrs,
the holiness of the saints,
and so on with all the rest;
because, being in my Will
they concur in all the good that can exist,
both in heaven and on earth.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant.1 The souls that do my Will are queens.
Ant.2 To be true, love must receive life and nourishment from the Divine Will.
Psalm 2 Vol. Xl, August 28, 1912
The other virtues,
for however high and sublime;
always show the differences
between the creature and the Creator.
Love is the only one that transforms the soul in God.
But true love cannot exist
unless it receives life and nourishment from my Will.
So, my Will united to love
is that which forms
the true transformation into me.
By being in continual contact
with my power, my holiness
and all that I am,
the soul can say that it is another me.
All is precious, all is holy for this soul.
It can be said that its breath,
the contact with the earth it walks upon,
are precious and holy,
because they are none other than the effects of my Will.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 2 To be true, love must receive life and nourishment from the Divine Will.
Ant. 3 In order to forget itself, the soul must do all things because it is Jesus himself who wants to do everything in it.
Psalm 3 Vol. XI, August 14, 1912
For the soul to be able to forget itself
in everything that it does and that is necessary for it,
it must do it as if I wanted to do it in the soul.
If it prays, it should say,
“It is Jesus who wants to pray,
and I am praying together with him.”
If it must work, “It is Jesus who wants to work;
it is Jesus who wants to walk, who wants to eat,
who wants to sleep, who wants to get up,
who wants to enjoy himself,”
and so on with all the other activities of life,
except the mistakes.
The hidden life I lived in Nazareth
is not taken into account by men,
whereas, after my passion,
nothing could have done them more good than that.
By lowering myself to all those little actions
and to those things that men do in their daily life,
such as eating, sleeping, drinking, working,
lighting the fire, sweeping, etc.
- all are acts that no one can do without –
I made a little, divine coin of immense value
flow in their souls.
So, if my passion redeemed them,
my hidden life provided every human action,
even the most indifferent,
with divine merit and infinite value.
Glory be to the Father……
Ant.3 In order to forget itself, the soul must do all things because it is Jesus himself that wants to do everything in it.
SHORT READING Vol. XI, August 24, 1915
“My child, if you want to love me for everyone, do so in my Will, because
(containing the creative power) it is able to multiply an act into as many acts as one wants. And so your love will flow in my Will; and since my Will fills heaven and earth, I will hear your “I love you” repeated to me in heaven, around me, within me, on earth. From all over, it will multiply into as many acts of love as my Will can do. So, it can satisfy me for the love of everyone, because the creature is limited and finite, while my Will is immense and infinite.”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XI, September 2, 1912
G. The soul that is unconcerned about its own well-being, and is occupied
only with loving me, takes care of me; *and I fill it all with myself.
E. The soul that is unconcerned about its own well-being, and is occupied

becomes.

Week 2 - Morning Prayer - Day of the Most Holy Eucharist
INVITATORY
HYMN Vol. XII, March 28, 1917; December 27, 1918
What sweetness descends into my heart
with every love-filled word you say,
because there is no word more beautiful
than your “I love you” for me!
More than a majestic sun
your word of light rises,
illuminating the minds of men,
and inflaming every heart to love you!
It descends into hearts
and creates every good there.
It pours out graces of conversion,
it transforms, sanctifies and consumes;
everything receives life from it!
It fills the heavens and the earth
with love and with light;
everyone receives new glory and splendor;
in the unity of the light of your Will,
we give you thanks with your same word of love! Amen.
Ant. 1 Whoever lives in the Will of God receives the true, eternal communion with its complete fruit.
Psalm 1 Vol. XI, August 20, 1913
The soul that does my Will can say,
“My life is finished; the works,
the thoughts, the words that come from me
will not be mine any more.
Instead they will be the works,
the thoughts and the words
of him whose Will is my life.”
So, I say to whoever does my Will,
“You are my life, my blood, my bones;”
in such a way that the true,
real, sacramental transformation takes place –
not in virtue of the words of the priest –
but in the virtue of my Will.
As the soul decides to live by my Will,
so it is that my Will creates
my own self in the soul.
And as my Will flows in the will,
in the works and in the steps of the soul,
so many creations of mine, does it undergo.
Exactly the same thing happens
as it does with a ciborium
full of consecrated particles:
for as many particles as there are,
there are also as many Jesus’ in each particle.
So it is with the soul; in virtue of my Will,
it contains me in the whole,
and in each part of its being.
Glory be to the Father….
Ant. 1 Whoever lives in the Will of God receives the true, eternal communion with its complete fruit.
Ant. 2 My Will is communion which becomes eternal in heaven.
Psalm 2 Vol. IX, March 23, 1910
My child, I urge you
not to go out of my Will,
because my Will contains such power
as to be a new baptism for the soul.
In truth, it is more than baptism itself,
because in the sacraments there is part of my grace,
whereas in my Will
there is all the fullness of grace.
In baptism, the stain of original sin is taken away,
but the passions and the weaknesses remain.
In my Will, by destroying its own will,
the soul destroys the passions, the weaknesses
and everything that is merely human,
to live by the virtues, by the strength
and by all the divine qualities.
My Will is certainly more than the sacramental communion,
which lasts a few minutes.
On the contrary, my Will
is a lasting communion, even eternal,
which becomes eternal in heaven.
Sacramental communion is subject to various difficulties:
because of sickness, or some necessity,
or on the part of whoever administers it;
whereas the communion of my Will
is not subject to any impediment.
If the soul wants it, all is done.
No one can stop such a great good
that forms the happiness of the earth and of heaven:
neither the demons, nor creatures
nor my own almightiness.
When I succeed in getting the soul to live in my Will,
I feel triumphant because this encloses
the greatest good that can exist
in heaven and on earth.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 2 My Will is communion which becomes eternal in heaven.
Ant. 3 My Will is sacrament, and surpasses all the sacraments together.
Psalm 3 Vol. XII, December 26, 1919
Why are the sacraments called sacraments?
Because they are sacred;
they have the value and the power
to confer grace, holiness.
But these sacraments act
according to the disposition of creatures,
so much so, that many times they even remain unfruitful,
unable to confer the goods they contain.
Now, my Will is sacred and holy,
and it contains the virtue of all the sacraments together.
Furthermore, it doesn’t have to work to dispose the soul
to receive the goods that my Will contains.
As soon as the soul has disposed itself,
my Will, finding everything prepared and disposed –
even at the cost of any sacrifice –
communicates itself without delay to the soul,
pouring out the goods that it contains,
and forms the heroes, the martyrs of the Divine Will,
the most unheard-of wonders.
Then, what do the sacraments do,
if not unite the soul with God?
What does it mean to do my Will?
Isn’t it perhaps, to unite the will of the creature
with its Creator?
To lose oneself in the eternal Will?
The nothingness that ascends to the All;
the All that descends into the nothingness?
It is the most noble act,
the most divine, the most pure, the most beautiful,
and the most heroic that the creature can do.
Yes, I confirm it and I repeat it to you:
my Will is sacrament,
and it surpasses all the sacraments together,
but in a more wonderful way,
without any intermediary, without any matter.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 3 My Will is sacrament, and surpasses all the sacraments together.
SHORT READING Vol. XII, December 22, 1920
“Just the word ‘Will of God’ contains the creative power, so it has the power to create, transform, consume and make flow in the soul great new streams of light, of love and of holiness. The creative power is found only in the divine Fiat; and if the priest consecrates me in the host it is because my
Will gave the power to those words that are said over the holy host to consecrate it. So, everything goes forth from the divine Fiat and is found in it. And if the mere thought of doing my Will soothes the soul and makes it feel strong and changed, what will happen when it does it?”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XII, June 10, 1920
G. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.
E. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.
G. And even though the soul does not think about it, its will does
everything mine does, and it runs together with me, for the good of all
creatures.
E. *It is bound to my eternal Will.
G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
E. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.

everyone receives new glory and splendor;
in the unity of the light of your Will,
we give you thanks with your same word of love! Amen.
Ant. 1 Whoever lives in the Will of God receives the true, eternal communion with its complete fruit.
Psalm 1 Vol. XI, August 20, 1913
The soul that does my Will can say,
“My life is finished; the works,
the thoughts, the words that come from me
will not be mine any more.
Instead they will be the works,
the thoughts and the words
of him whose Will is my life.”
So, I say to whoever does my Will,
“You are my life, my blood, my bones;”
in such a way that the true,
real, sacramental transformation takes place –
not in virtue of the words of the priest –
but in the virtue of my Will.
As the soul decides to live by my Will,
so it is that my Will creates
my own self in the soul.
And as my Will flows in the will,
in the works and in the steps of the soul,
so many creations of mine, does it undergo.
Exactly the same thing happens
as it does with a ciborium
full of consecrated particles:
for as many particles as there are,
there are also as many Jesus’ in each particle.
So it is with the soul; in virtue of my Will,
it contains me in the whole,
and in each part of its being.
Glory be to the Father….
Ant. 1 Whoever lives in the Will of God receives the true, eternal communion with its complete fruit.
Ant. 2 My Will is communion which becomes eternal in heaven.
Psalm 2 Vol. IX, March 23, 1910
My child, I urge you
not to go out of my Will,
because my Will contains such power
as to be a new baptism for the soul.
In truth, it is more than baptism itself,
because in the sacraments there is part of my grace,
whereas in my Will
there is all the fullness of grace.
In baptism, the stain of original sin is taken away,
but the passions and the weaknesses remain.
In my Will, by destroying its own will,
the soul destroys the passions, the weaknesses
and everything that is merely human,
to live by the virtues, by the strength
and by all the divine qualities.
My Will is certainly more than the sacramental communion,
which lasts a few minutes.
On the contrary, my Will
is a lasting communion, even eternal,
which becomes eternal in heaven.
Sacramental communion is subject to various difficulties:
because of sickness, or some necessity,
or on the part of whoever administers it;
whereas the communion of my Will
is not subject to any impediment.
If the soul wants it, all is done.
No one can stop such a great good
that forms the happiness of the earth and of heaven:
neither the demons, nor creatures
nor my own almightiness.
When I succeed in getting the soul to live in my Will,
I feel triumphant because this encloses
the greatest good that can exist
in heaven and on earth.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 2 My Will is communion which becomes eternal in heaven.
Ant. 3 My Will is sacrament, and surpasses all the sacraments together.
Psalm 3 Vol. XII, December 26, 1919
Why are the sacraments called sacraments?
Because they are sacred;
they have the value and the power
to confer grace, holiness.
But these sacraments act
according to the disposition of creatures,
so much so, that many times they even remain unfruitful,
unable to confer the goods they contain.
Now, my Will is sacred and holy,
and it contains the virtue of all the sacraments together.
Furthermore, it doesn’t have to work to dispose the soul
to receive the goods that my Will contains.
As soon as the soul has disposed itself,
my Will, finding everything prepared and disposed –
even at the cost of any sacrifice –
communicates itself without delay to the soul,
pouring out the goods that it contains,
and forms the heroes, the martyrs of the Divine Will,
the most unheard-of wonders.
Then, what do the sacraments do,
if not unite the soul with God?
What does it mean to do my Will?
Isn’t it perhaps, to unite the will of the creature
with its Creator?
To lose oneself in the eternal Will?
The nothingness that ascends to the All;
the All that descends into the nothingness?
It is the most noble act,
the most divine, the most pure, the most beautiful,
and the most heroic that the creature can do.
Yes, I confirm it and I repeat it to you:
my Will is sacrament,
and it surpasses all the sacraments together,
but in a more wonderful way,
without any intermediary, without any matter.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. 3 My Will is sacrament, and surpasses all the sacraments together.
SHORT READING Vol. XII, December 22, 1920
“Just the word ‘Will of God’ contains the creative power, so it has the power to create, transform, consume and make flow in the soul great new streams of light, of love and of holiness. The creative power is found only in the divine Fiat; and if the priest consecrates me in the host it is because my
Will gave the power to those words that are said over the holy host to consecrate it. So, everything goes forth from the divine Fiat and is found in it. And if the mere thought of doing my Will soothes the soul and makes it feel strong and changed, what will happen when it does it?”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XII, June 10, 1920
G. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.
E. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.
G. And even though the soul does not think about it, its will does
everything mine does, and it runs together with me, for the good of all
creatures.
E. *It is bound to my eternal Will.
G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
E. As the soul enters my Will, *it becomes bound to my eternal Will.

HYMN Vol. XII, January 9, 1920
O holy and eternal Majesty,
I bow down at your feet
in the name of all the human family,
from the first to the last man!
In your supreme Will,
where everything is immense and eternal,
I find the love that I want
to be able to love you for everyone!
I want my love
and all my acts
to be complete and full,
and to love you for everyone and for me!
Always and in every instant I want them
to adore you profoundly for everyone,
and to recognize you for everyone
as the absolute Creator and ruler of all! Amen.
Ant. Whoever leaves everything and acts only for me does not feel the sting of annoyances in his heart.
Psalm Vol. X, February 10, 1911
Whoever leaves everything for me,
and loves everything divinely,
has all things at his disposal.
The sign to know if someone
has left everything for me and has succeeded
in doing and loving everything divinely,
is if when he acts, or speaks, or prays,
or does anything else,
he no longer finds obstacles,
annoyances, differences or oppositions.
Because, before this power
of doing and of loving everything divinely,
everyone bows his head
and doesn’t even dare to breathe.
As a loving Father,
I am always watching over the human heart.
And seeing it slip away from me,
that is, acting and loving in a human way,
I put thorns, annoyances, and bitternesses there
that sting and annoy that human work
and that human love.
Then the soul, feeling itself pricked,
realizing that its way of acting is not divine,
enters into itself and acts in a divine way.
Because stings are the sentinels of the human heart
that provide eyes
to make it see who is moving it:
God or the creature.
It is quite different when the soul leaves everything,
acting and loving everything in a divine way,
and enjoys my peace.
Then, instead of having the watchful guards
and the eyes of the stings,
it has the sentinel of peace
that drives away anything that could disturb it,
and the eyes of love that scatter
and burn those who want to disturb it.
Glory be to the Father…..
Ant. Whoever leaves everything and acts only for me does not feel the sting of annoyances in his heart.
SHORT READING Vol. X, November 23, 1910
“My children, love encloses everything, enchains everything, gives life to everything, triumphs over all, beautifies everything and enriches everything. So, it can be said that love is patience, love is obedience, it is sweetness, it is strength, it is peace, it is everything. So, if all the virtues do not have their life from love, at the most they can be called natural virtues, whereas love changes them into divine virtues. Oh, what a difference between the two! The natural virtues are servants, and the divine are queens. So, in all things, let love be enough for you.”
RESPONSORIAL Vol. XII, December 26, 1919
G. As you repeat what I have taught you, I feel wounded by my own love.
*If you love me, wound me always.
E. As you repeat what I have taught you, I feel wounded by my own love.
*If you love me, wound me always.
G. Even by just remembering my words and teachings, you wound me.
E. *If you love me, wound me always.
G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
E. As you repeat what I have taught you, I feel wounded by my own love.
