The Redemption preparation for the Kingdom

Through the mysteries manifested in the Redemption of Jesus taking on our humanity and divinely submitting himself to taking on all the evils of man in order to procure the divine remedies for mankind He opened the channels of grace to heal us of our sins so that we might reach the step of not only resigning ourselves to his Will but of embracing it, and loving it to the point of wanting to be united with him.

"Hence my Redemption, my life, my sufferings, my death, it will serve to dispose creatures to such a good, and as preparation to the great portent of the kingdom of my Will in the human generations, and if they don’t yet see the fruits, the life of Him, this says nothing, because in my Humanity there is the seed, the life of my Fiat, hence this seed possesses the virtue to form the long generation of so many other seeds in hearts, in order to regenerate in them, the revival of the life of my Will in creatures. "
Vol. 33, May 6, 1934

Creation and Redemption are manifestations from his Will.  Although to us his Redemption is manifest first it is His Will which is given priority in all his works and is the ultimate purpose to all his designs.

"Listen to me my daughter, in the Creation our primary purpose was man, but instead of creating man first, we created Heavens, sun, sea, earth, air, winds as habitation where to put this man, and making him find all that which was necessary in order to let him live, in the creation of man himself first we made the body and then infused in him the soul, more precious, more noble and that contains more value than the body; many times it is necessary to do the minor works first, in order to prepare with decency the post to our greater works.  What wonder, therefore, that in descending from Heaven in earth, in our divine mind, our primary aim was to constitute the kingdom of our Will in the midst of the human family?  Much more so that the first offense that man did to us, was really direct to our Will, hence with justice, our first aim, should be directed to consolidate the offended part of our Will and to restitute to him his regal post, and then the Redemption came, and the Redemption came in a superabundant way with such excesses of love as to make Heaven and earth astounded.  But why first?  Because it had to serve to prepare with decency, with decorum, with sumptuousness, with the outfit of my sufferings and my death itself, as kingdom, as army, as habitation and as cortege to make my Will reign.  In order to heal man there was needed my sufferings, in order to give him life there was needed my death, and yet one tear of mine, one sigh of mine, one single drop of my blood would have been enough in order to save everyone, because all that which I did was animated by my Supreme Will.  I can say that it was Him in my Humanity that raced in all my acts, in my most excruciating sufferings, in order to search (out) man and to put him in safety; how therefore can one deny the first purpose to a Volition so holy, so powerful, that embraces everything and in which there is no life, nor good without Him?"
Vol. 33, May 6, 1934

By not living in his Will God is constrained to give us only the effects of his Will which are limited by time, circumstances and our disposition.  He states below clearly that all the law, the sacraments, the Gospel and prayers are only effects that can not equal that which the Divine Will can do when the creature allows him in as perennial life of her, because these come from his Will while his Will is entire and complete by itself.

“Therefore there is no greater evil that the creature can do, nor greater wrong that she can do to our Paternal goodness, than to not let our Will reign in her.  The same in her power would induce us to destroy all the Creation, because the creature was made that she should be our residence, and not her alone, but all created things, skies, sun, earth, everything, being works gone forth from our Supreme Heights, we hold the right to live (in) her, and with living (in) her we conserve her with beautiful decorum and always new, as in the act in which we brought her forth to the light.  Now the creature with not doing our Will puts us outside of our residence, and it happens to us as would happen to a rich Lord, that wanting to build a great and beautiful palace, when he has finished; he goes in order to live in it and they close the doors in (his) face, they throw stones at him, in a way that he is constrained to not put a foot inside, and to not be able to live in the same residence built by him, wouldn’t it merit that it be destroyed by he who has formed it?  But he doesn’t do it because he loves his work, but waits and re-awaits, who knows [that] he can conquer in love, and by herself she opens the doors to him in order to let him enter with giving him the liberty to let him live (there).  In such conditions the creature puts us with not letting our Will reign in her soul:  she closes the doors in our face and throws the stones of her faults against us.  And we with unconquered and divine patience wait, and she not wanting our Will in herself as life, with Paternal goodness we give her the effects of Him, that is the laws, the Sacraments, the Gospel, the helps of my examples and prayers to her, but for all this great good, not one can equal the great good that my Will can do as perennial life of the creature, because He is all (the) laws, Sacraments, Gospel, life together, he signifies all:  able to give everything, possesses everything, this is enough in order to be able to understand the great difference that there is between my Will as continuous life in the creature, and between his effects that he can not produce in a perennial way, but by circumstances, in time, in the Sacraments themselves.  And although the effects can do great goods, but they can never arrive to produce all the goods that the life of my Divine Will reigning and dominant in the creature can produce.  Therefore be attentive my daughter, and give him the holy liberty to do that which he wants in your soul.”
Vol 30, May 30, 1932

And all we have to do is say, "Yes."
