Major things are done after minor ones, and are the fulfillment and crowning of those. The resurrected Humanity of Jesus, symbol of those who will live in the Divine Will.
I was fusing myself in the Holy Will of my always lovable Jesus, and
together with my Jesus, my intelligence was wandering in the work of
Creation, adoring and thanking the Supreme Majesty for
everything and for everyone. And my Jesus, all affability, told me:
“My daughter, in creating the heavens, first I created the stars as minor spheres, and then I created the sun, major sphere, endowing it with such light as to eclipse all the stars, as though hiding
them within itself, constituting it king of the stars and of all
nature. It is my usual way to do minor things first, as preparation for
major ones, and these, as crowning of the minor things. The sun, while
being my relater, also veils the souls who will form their
sanctity in my Will; the Saints who lived in the mirror of my Humanity and as though in
the shadow of my Will, will be the stars; the former
souls, though later in time, will be the suns.
“I maintained this order
also in Redemption. My birth was without clamor; on the contrary, it was neglected; my childhood was without splendor of great things before men; my
life in Nazareth was so hidden that I lived as if ignored by all; I adapted Myself to do
the littlest and most common things of the human life. During my public
life there were a few things that
were great; but, still, who knew my Divinity? No one, not even all the
Apostles. I passed through the crowds like any other man; so much so,
that anyone could come close to Me, talk to Me, and if needed, even despise Me.”
And I, interrupting the
speaking of Jesus, said: ‘Jesus, my Love, how happy those times were, and
happier those people who, by just wanting it, could come close to You, talk to
You, and be with You.’
And Jesus: “Ah! my
daughter, only my Will brings true happiness. It alone encloses all goods
in the soul, and making Itself crown around the soul, It constitutes
her queen of true happiness. Only these souls will
be the queens of my throne, because they are a birth from my Will. This is so
true, that those people were not happy; many saw Me, but did not know Me,
because my Will did not reside within them as center of life. Therefore,
even if they saw Me, they remained unhappy; and only those who received the
good of receiving the seed of my Will in their hearts disposed themselves
to receive the good of seeing Me resurrected.
“Now, the portent of my Redemption was the Resurrection, which, more than refulgent sun, crowned my Humanity, making
even my littlest acts shine, with such splendor and marvel as to make Heaven and
earth to be astonished; It will be the beginning, the foundation and the fulfillment of all goods - crown and glory of all the Blessed. My Resurrection is the true Sun, which worthily glorifies my
Humanity; It is the Sun of the Catholic Religion; It is the glory of
every Christian. Without the Resurrection, it would have been as though
heavens without sun, without heat and without life.
“Now, my Resurrection is symbol of the souls who will form their
sanctity in my Will. The Saints of these past centuries are symbols of my Humanity;
although resigned, they did not have
continuous attitude in my Will, therefore they did
not receive the mark of the Sun of my Resurrection, but the mark of
the works of my Humanity before my Resurrection. Therefore, they will be
many; almost like stars, they will form for Me a
beautiful ornament to the Heaven of my Humanity. But the
Saints of the living in my Will, who will symbolize my resurrected Humanity,
will be few. In fact, many throngs and crowds of people saw my Humanity before
Its death, but few saw my resurrected Humanity - only the believers, those who
were most disposed and, I could say, only those who contained the seed of my Will. In fact, if
they did not have it, they would have lacked the necessary sight to be able to
see my resurrected and glorious Humanity, and therefore be spectators of my ascent into Heaven.
“Now, if my Resurrection symbolizes the Saints of the living in my Will - and
this, with reason, because each act, word, step, etc. done in my Will is a
divine resurrection that the soul receives; it is a mark of glory that she undergoes; it
is to go out of herself in order to enter the Divinity, and to hide within the
refulgent Sun of my Volition; and in It she loves,
works, thinks - what is the wonder if the soul remains fully risen and
identified with the very Sun of my glory, and symbolizes
my resurrected Humanity? But few are those who dispose themselves to this, because
souls, even in sanctity, want something of their
own good; while the Sanctity of living in my Will has nothing
– nothing of its own, but everything is of God; and in order for souls to
dispose themselves to this, to stripping themselves of their own goods,
it takes too much. Therefore, they will not be many. You are not in
the number of the many, but of the few; therefore be always attentive to the
call, and to your continuous flight.”
Vol. 12, April 15, 1919He refers to those Saints who live in the Divine Will as being symbolized by his Resurrection, as hidden in the Sun and therefore full of light. And here Luisa tells us of how she saw Jesus in the moment of his Resurrection.
So, finding myself in this position, I saw my adorable Jesus for a little, in the act of His Resurrection, with His face so refulgent as to not be comparable to any other splendor. It seemed to me that the Most Holy Humanity of Our Lord, though It was living flesh, was so bright and transparent that one could see with clarity the Divinity united to the Humanity. Now, while I was seeing Him so glorious, a light that came from Him seemed to tell me: “My Humanity received so much glory by means of perfect obedience which, destroying the ancient nature completely, gave Me back the new nature, glorious and immortal.
Vol. 4, April 7, 1901He is full of light beyond compare, and to be certain of the origin of this light he further explains it.
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen all lovable and majestic, as though enwrapped within a net of light: light He sent forth from His eyes, light He unleashed from His mouth, and at each of His words, at each of His heartbeats, at each movement and step of His. In sum, His Humanity was an abyss of light. And Jesus, looking at me, bound me with this light, telling me: “My daughter, how much light, how much glory did my Humanity have in my Resurrection, because in the course of my life on this earth I did nothing but enclose the Supreme Will in each one of my acts, breaths, gazes - in everything. And as I kept enclosing It, the Divine Volition prepared for Me the glory, the light in my Resurrection. And since I contain within Me the immense sea of the light of my Will, it is no wonder that, as I look, as I speak, as I move, so much light comes out of Me as to be able to give light to all. Therefore I want to chain you and overwhelm you within this light in order to sow in you as many seeds of resurrection for as many acts as you keep doing in my Will. It alone makes soul and body rise again to glory; It is seed of resurrection to grace, seed of resurrection to the highest and perfect sanctity, seed of resurrection to glory. So, as the soul emits her acts in my Will, she keeps binding new divine light, because my Will is light by nature, and one who lives in It has the virtue of transmuting thoughts, words, works, and everything she does, into light.”
Vol. 15, April 2, 1923The image of Jesus in his Resurrection is an image of that which we are called to be, true children of his Divine Will emitting acts of light. This is something, excepting the Virgin Mary, for which no one who lived in Jesus' time on earth had the privilege to even imagine.
