The Greatest Enemies of Man

When I would think of the greatest enemy of man I'd think of the devil but Jesus explains otherwise in the Volumes.  Man, himself, is his own worst enemy.

He states that self interest poisons creatures.  It enters all who do not surrender to the light of truth and the power of virtue.  Such that the disordered love of self blinds the soul and keeps virtue far from her.

the truth is light to the mind, and with light things can be seen as they are.  But if one does not want to know the truth, the mind is blind and things cannot be seen as they are; and so they raise doubts and difficulties, remaining more blind than before.

Vol. 11, June 29, 1914

“My daughter, the poison of interest has entered into all hearts, and they have become soaked with this poison like sponges.  This pestilent poison has penetrated into monasteries, into priests, into secular.  My daughter, that which does not surrender to the light of truth and to the power of virtue, surrenders before a most wretched interest; and before this poison, the most sublime and excelling virtues fall shattered like fragile glass.”  And while saying this, He cried bitterly.  Who can say the torment of my soul in seeing my most loving Jesus cry!

The human will goes so far as to block the Divine light from entering the soul.  It blinds the creature in her intellect, memory and will.   All bonds with the Divine are broken and she decays from the beautiful origin which she comes from and becomes ugly, even to becoming the daughter of the enemy who engraves his image in her.

the human will causes her to deny her origin, it makes her decay from her beginning; her intellect, memory and will remain without light, and the divine image remains deformed and unrecognizable. The human will breaks all the divine bonds and relationships, and therefore it makes the soul live in the reflections of all passions, in such a way that she becomes ugly and the daughter of the infernal enemy, who tries to engrave his ugly image in her. How many evils does one’s own will not cause! It devastates every good and produces all evils.”

Vol. 19, September 3, 1926

Doing one's own will is more terrifying than if one could stop the course of the sun or any of the elements.  Instead she stops the course of God Himself.  When Adam sinned it was as if he stopped the course of God and immobilized Him from being able to give or even speak to His creature.  It was at that moment that man detached himself from God, from stability, from Divine life.  So now man vacillates in every moment when ruled by his own will.

“My blessed daughter, doing one’s own will is so very grave, that it would be a minor evil if the creature might impede the course of the sun, of the sky, of the wind, of the air, of the water.  And yet this course would cause such disorder and terror that man could live no more.  And yet this great evil would be nothing in comparison to the grave evil of doing one’s own will, because with this she doesn’t impede the course to created things, but to her Creator himself.  Adam with removing himself from our Will stopped the course of the gifts that (He) should give to his beloved creature.   If he might have been able to he would have constrained God to immobility.  Our Supreme Being with creating the creature wanted to remain in continuous correspondence with her, he wanted to give her now one gift and now another.  He wanted to make her so many beautiful surprises not ever interrupted.  Now as [the creature] does her will, thus silently she says to her Creator:  ‘Withdraw, I don’t have anywhere to put your gifts.  If you speak to me I don’t understand you, your surprises are not for me, I am enough by myself’, and with reason she says this, because without my Will that is her primary life, she has lost the life and the capacity where to put my gifts, to understand our celestial language, and she makes herself (a) stranger to our most beautiful surprises.   The creature with not doing our Will loses the divine life, the most beautiful acts, most interesting, more necessary than her creation and of how she was created by God.

“Behold therefore, as man removed himself from our Fiat, he disarranged himself in a way that every step vacillated, because he detached himself, rejected the vital act of his life, and from the stable and permanent act that He should live with him as one life alone, that (is) our Divine Will.  In a way that we feel immobilized by man, because we want to give and we can not.  We want to speak and he doesn’t mind us; it is as if from a distant we make our sorrowful laments heard by saying to him:   ‘Oh, man, finish it, recall in yourself that Will that you rejected!  He doesn’t mind your evils, and if you call Him He is ready to take possession of you and form his kingdom in you, of dominion, of peace, of happiness, of glory, of victory for me and for you.  Oh, don’t want to be enslaved anymore nor live in the labyrinth of your evils and miseries!   (For) such I didn’t create you, but I created you king of yourself, king of all.  Therefore call my Will as life, and he will make you know your nobility and the heights of your post in which you were put by God.  Oh, how content you will be, and you will content your Creator!”

Vol. 30, May 8, 1932

Love of self entraps, blinding the soul, tripping her up leading to disturbances and scrupulosity.  Creatures mistake scruples for sanctity but in fact scruples keeps the soul from true sanctity.  The answer to love of self is obedience.   Obedience kills scruples and leads the soul out of this entrapment.

“My beloved, obedience has an extremely long sight and surpasses the very light of the sun in beauty and in sharpness.  In the same way, love of self is very much shortsighted, so much so, that it cannot take a step without tripping.  And do not believe that this extremely long sight is possessed by those souls who go on always disturbed and in scrupulousness.  Rather, this is a net that love of self weaves around them, which, being very shortsighted, makes them fall first, and then provokes in them a thousand disturbances and scruples, and what they have detested today with so many scruples and fears, they fall into again tomorrow, to the point that their living is reduced to being always immersed in this artificious net which love of self knows well how to weave around them.  This, unlike the extremely long sight of obedience, which is killer of the love of self.  Her sight is so very long and clear, that immediately she foresees where she might slip, and with generous heart she abstains from it and enjoys the holy freedom of the children of God.  And just as darkness draws more darkness, so does light draw more light, and this light arrives at drawing to itself the light of the Word, and uniting together, they weave the light of all virtues.”

Surprised on hearing this, I said:  ‘Lord, what are You saying?  To me it seems that that scrupulous way of living is sanctity.’  And He, with a more serious tone, added:  “On the contrary, I tell you that this is the true mark of obedience, while that is the true mark of love of self, and that way of living moves Me more to indignation than to love.  In fact, when it is the light of truth that allows one to see one’s fault, be it even the slightest, there should be some emendation; but since it is the short sight of the love of self, it does nothing but keep them oppressed, having no development on the path of true sanctity.”

Vol. 4, February 10, 1901





This love of self takes the form of three enemies:  the love of pleasures, riches and honors.  Disordered desires woo a soul that is centered on itself.  They embitter, crush and torture her forming the most powerful enemies, obsessing her, but they will never content her.  Jesus conquered these on Calvary but man refuses these hard won graces.

“My daughter, the most powerful enemies of man are: the love of pleasures, of riches and of honors. These enemies render man unhappy, because they penetrate even into his heart and consume him continuously; they embitter him, they bring him down so much, as to make him lose all happiness.  And I, on Calvary, defeated these three enemies, and obtained for man the grace to conquer them too, giving back to him the lost happiness.  But man, always ungrateful and heedless, rejects my grace and loves these enemies fiercely, which put the human heart in a continuous torture.”   Having said this, He disappeared, and I comprehended with such clarity the truthfulness of these words, that I felt abhorrence and hate for these enemies.   May the Lord be always blessed, and may everything be for His glory.

Vol. 4,October 12, 1900





When one is divided between love of God and love of creatures or pleasures or riches, they are torn and shredded and they live with anxieties, fears and disillusions which embitter them.  Only when the creature makes God her whole focus and becomes alone with Him can God then centralize all of Himself in her.  He refers to this as extraordinary grace.  He likens this to the Sun focusing all of itself on a single plant, imparting all of the effects of the Sun within this one plant while other plants only receive one effect each.  

“My daughter, you are alone with Me, and I am alone with you; and because you are alone with Me, I centralize all of Myself in you.  In fact, since you are alone with Me, I can fill you completely with Myself; there is not one point of you in which I do not take my place; you are transformed into Myself and, as though naturally, the extraordinary grace enters into you.  When the soul is alone with Me, I am free to do whatever I want; I enjoy her, Myself alone, and my love makes Me do such great things with her that I reach the point of folly, and I perform so many of those loving stratagems, that if they could be seen or heard by all creatures, they would say:  ‘Only Jesus knows how to love and can love in a way so astounding, so ingenious and so great.’  With one who lives alone with Me, I act as the sun would, if it could centralize all of its light over one plant.  This plant would receive into itself the whole of the life of the sun, and would enjoy all of its effects, while the other plants receive only one effect each, which is sufficient for the nature of each plant.  But the first one, because it receives the whole of the life of the sun, receives with it all the effects which the light contains.  So I do.  I centralize the whole of my life in her, and there is nothing of Me which I do not let her enjoy.  On the other hand, one who is not alone with Me, because I cannot centralize my life, is without light; she feels within herself the weight of darkness; her being is divided into so many parts for as many as are the things that she cares about.  So, if she loves the earth, she feels divided with the earth; if she loves creatures, pleasures, riches, she feels as though divided into shreds, in such a way that some tear her from one side, some from the other.  Her poor heart lives amid anxieties, fears and bitter disillusions.  All the opposite for one who lives alone with Me.”

Vol. 23, November 10, 1927

Being united to Jesus, in His Divine Will, a soul is not subject to anxiety because everything is done by Jesus and the soul is together with Him.  This is the key to true sanctity, it is devoid of self-esteem, vainglory, and passions as all credit and glory goes to the Divine Will.  Anything else is false sanctity where the soul vacillates falling from pious practices to defects easily.  They deceive themselves when not united to Jesus and instead of honor they find dishonor.  In the end these scruples are revealed as only love of self, resentment, passions hidden under the aspect of good.  While the soul living in the Divine Will is the smile of Jesus and He guards her every act.

So, the enemy cannot bother this child - whether he has done well or badly, little or much - because Jesus Himself did everything, and he together with Jesus. He is the most peaceful; he is not subject to anxiety; he loves no one and loves everyone - but divinely. It can be said that he is the repeater of the Life of Jesus, the organ of His voice, the heartbeat of His Heart, the sea of His graces.

True sanctity, I believe, consists only in this. All other things are shadows, larvae, specters of sanctity. In the Divine Will, virtues take their place in the divine order; while, outside of It, in the human order, they are subject to self-esteem, to vainglory, to passions. Oh! how many good works, how many attended Sacraments are to be cried over before God, and to be repaired for, because they are empty of Divine Will, and therefore without fruits. Heaven willing that all would comprehend true sanctity. Oh! how all other things would disappear.

Therefore, many find themselves on the false way of sanctity. Many place it in the pious practices of piety - and woe to those who move them! Oh! how they deceive themselves. If their wills are not united with Jesus, and also transformed in Him - which is continuous prayer - with all their pious practices their sanctity is false. And it shows how these souls pass very easily from pious practices to defects, to amusements, to the sowing of discord, and other things. Oh! how dishonored is this kind of sanctity Others place it in going to church to attend all the services, but their will is far from Jesus; and it shows how these souls have little care for their own duties. And if they are hindered, they get angry, they cry that their sanctity goes up in the air, they lament, they disobey, they are the wounds of the families. Oh! what false sanctity. Others place it in frequent confessions, in minute spiritual directions, in having scruples about everything; but then they have no scruple that their will does not run together with the Will of Jesus - and woe to those who contradict them! These souls are like inflated balloons: a little hole is enough for the air to come out, and their sanctity goes up in smoke, and falls to the ground. These poor balloons have always something to say, they are mostly inclined to sadness, they live always in doubt, and therefore would like to have a director for themselves, who would advise them, give them peace and console them in every little thing. But they are soon more agitated than before. Poor sanctity, how forged it is.

...

the poor and false sanctity of the balloons is subject to continuous inconstancies, and while it seems that the balloons of their sanctity swell so much as to seem to be flying in the air at a certain height, to the point that many, and even the directors, are amazed - soon they are disillusioned. One humiliation, one preference of the directors toward someone else, is enough to make these balloons deflate, for they believe this is a theft against them, considering themselves the neediest. Therefore, while having scruples about trifles, they then reach the point of disobeying. Jealousy is the woodworm of these balloons, which, consuming the good they do, keeps sucking air from them, and the poor balloon deflates and falls to the ground, reaching the point of dirtying itself with earth. Then the sanctity that was in the balloon appears. And what does one find? Love of self, resentment, passions hidden under the aspect of good, almost to have occasion to say: ‘They have made themselves the amusement of the devil.’ So, of all their sanctity, nothing was found but a mass of defects, apparently disguised as virtues. But then, who can say everything? Only Jesus knows the worst evils of this false sanctity, of this devout life without foundation, because it leans on false piety. These false sanctities are the spiritual lives without fruit, sterile, which are the cause of who knows how much crying for my lovable Jesus. They are the ill feeling of society, the worries of the very directors, and of families. It can be said that they bring with themselves a noxious air that harms everyone.

Oh! how so very different is the sanctity of the soul who lives in the Divine Will! These souls are the smile of Jesus; they are far away from everyone, even from the very directors. Only Jesus is everything for them; therefore, nobody worries because of them. The beneficial air that they possess embalms all; they are the order and the harmony of all. Jesus, jealous of these souls, makes Himself actor and spectator of whatever they do – there is not one heartbeat, breath or thought which He does not regulate and dominate. Jesus keeps this soul so absorbed in the Divine Will that she can hardly remember that she is living in the exile.

Vol. 12, August 14, 1917

God wants to be in relation with man in everything but man, by doing his own will, broke all relations with Him and instead placed himself in relations with his enemies; sin and passions.  Only by living in the Divine Will can order be re-established.

Everything I contain I placed in relationship with man - relations in the order of all created things, and to him I gave primacy over everything.

“Now, by withdrawing from my Will, man broke all these relations, and placed himself in relationship with sin, with passions, with his fiercest enemy. Therefore, the soul who lives in my Will rises so high as to leave everyone behind; she places herself in order between Me and her; she gives herself back to the origin, and places all broken relations in force. All created things form her cortege and recognize her as their legitimate daughter, feeling honored to be dominated by her. The purpose for which they were created, to be commanded and to obey her slightest wishes, is already accomplished.

Vol. 13, January 3, 1922

This union with God, living in the Divine Will, being alone with God, takes firm resolution.  When someone tries to mix the human with the Divine action they blind themselves and can vacillate.  With determination and resolution one can shut the doors to the enemies of the soul.

I remembered the needs that M. had told me, and I prayed Our Lord to answer him. In the meantime, I seemed to see him with a silver-colored garment; a black veil descended from his head, covering part of his eyes, and this veil seemed to communicate itself to another person who was behind him. I could not understand anything of this, and blessed Jesus told me: “The silver-colored garment that you see on him is his purity in operating, and the black veil is the ‘human’ that he mixes with it. This human that he mixes is like a veil which, covering the light of truth that shines in his mind, sometimes makes him act with fear, or to content someone else, and not according to the truth which my Grace makes shine in his mind.”

And I: ‘Lord, grant him what he told me, for it is something that regards your glory very much.’ And He: “For an irresolute soul, temporizing gives time and space to the enemies to wage battle; while by not giving them time, and by showing oneself resolute and unshakeable, the doors are closed to the enemies, and one has the good of not even exposing oneself to the brawl. So, if he wants to reach his goal quickly, these are the means, and I will be with him, and he will be victorious. And then, the very ones who are most opposed to him will be the most supportive, and will admire him the most, seeing that he has undone their human views.”

Vol. 8, January 23, 1908

Hard won virtues that are not guarded by the Kingdom of the Fiat are always in danger.  Passions can upset and cast them down.  Only the Divine Will continually vivifies and nourishes the virtues and can safely guard them from all evils, but when the human will sets itself against the Divine Will, God will often use Creation and Redemption for justice to strike against man instead of the good they were meant to bring to him.

The virtues that are not under the continuous dominion of my Fiat are subject to continuous dangers and continuous oscillations; passions have the ways open to put everything upside down and cast virtues and sanctity to the ground, formed with many sacrifices. If the continuous vivifying and nourishing virtue of my Will is not present, which closes all doors and all ways to all evils, the human will has door and ways to let the enemy, the world, self-esteem, miseries, disturbances, enter, which are the wood worm of virtues and of sanctity; and when there is the wood worm, there is not sufficient strength to remain firm and persevering in good. Therefore, everything is unsafe when my Divine Will does not reign.

Moreover, the evil that Our Divine Will does not reign in the midst of creatures is so great, that all things are in continuous oscillation. Our very Creation, all the goods of Redemption, are intermittent, because, not finding Our Fiat reigning in the human family, they cannot always give the same goods. Even more, many times We have to make use of Creation and Redemption to arm them against man, because the human will puts itself against Ours, and We, by justice, have to strike them in order to make them comprehend that, because Our Will is not reigning, the human rejects Our goods and forces Us to punish them. The very glory which the creature gives Us through Creation and Redemption is not fixed, but it changes at each act of the human will. Therefore, the small interest which the creature was to give Us - her love and her glory which she should give to Us because We have given so much to her - is not even a fixed revenue, but everything is intermittent, because Our Will alone has the virtue of rendering unshakeable and continuous Its own acts, and those of the one in whom It reigns. So, until Our Divine Fiat reigns, everything is unsafe; the Creation, the Redemption, the Sacraments – they are all in danger, because the human will now abuses, now does not recognize the One who has so much loved it and benefited it, now tramples Our very goods under its feet. Therefore, until Our Will reigns, which will spread the divine order, Its firmness and harmony, and Its perennial day of light and of peace in the midst of creatures, everything will be in danger for him and for Us; Our things themselves will remain in the nightmare of danger, and will not be able to give to creatures the abundant goods which they contain.”

Vol. 26, April 28, 1929

A soul without the Divine Will becomes a city besieged by enemies, but the enemies are from her own will.  Her will can not unite her and she is torn between her thoughts, desires, affections, and love.  She is tormented, torn in different directions and is lead away from her origin into ever worsening evils.  Only the Divine Will can unite her making her strong against all evils.

Without my Divine Will the creature becomes as a besieged city, in which the enemies constrain her to die of hunger, and torture her in all (her) members, with this difference, that the executioners that tear (her) members are her own will, they are not enemies that torment her, but she herself makes herself enemy of herself. If you might know the sorrow that I feel when I see souls torn to shreds, every act of her will is a division that she forms between God and her, it is a move away from the beauty of her Creation, it is chilling herself from the true and pure love, it is losing herself from her origin, it is preparing herself, if the will precipitates into grave evil, or an anticipated hell, or a purgatory if the evil is slight. The human will is as gangrene to the body that holds (the) virtue of making the flesh fall in shreds and of deforming the beauty of the creature. Poor souls without my Divine Will, because He alone holds the unitive virtue that uniting everything together, the thought, the desire, the affection, the love, the human will, he gives the beautiful form united to the soul of the creature. Instead without my Will the thought wants one thing, the will another, the desire wants another, the affection another, in a way that they struggle among themselves, they become entangled, they are divided. Ah! There is no peace, nor union without my Will, she lacks one who puts the cement there, in order to reunite the divided parts and render her strong against all the evils, that can rise up. Therefore your Jesus does none other than cry over the ruins of these, more than Jerusalem thrown into confusion, that instead of knowing their Messiah they refused to acknowledge Him and they gave Him death.

Vol. 31, March 5, 1933

The Divine Will and the human will are fierce enemies of each other.  The human will is the only one who can stop God from giving and establishing His throne within her.  If one just strives to do the Will of God they will always be subject to waver and put their own will back in action.  Only by living in the Divine Will can the soul be a secure citizen of Heaven and no longer prey to earthly enemies.

...be attentive, because this is about placing in safety that Eternal Will which, with so much love, wants to dwell in the creatures. But It wants to be known, It does not want to be like a stranger, but wants to give Its goods and become Life of each one. However, It wants Its rights, Its place of honor; It wants the human will to be put aside – the only enemy for Itself and for man. The mission of my Will was the purpose of the creation of man. My Divinity did not depart from Heaven - from Its throne, while my Will not only departed, but descended into all created things and formed Its Life in them. But while all things recognized Me, and I dwell in them with majesty and decorum, man alone drove Me away. But I want to conquer him and win him, and therefore my mission is not ended. So I called you, entrusting to you my own mission, that you may place the one who drove Me away on the lap of my Will, and everything may return to Me in my Will. Therefore, do not be surprised at the many great and marvelous things I may tell you for the sake of this mission, or at the many graces I may give you; because this is not about making a Saint, or saving the generations. This is about placing a Divine Will in safety, that all may return to the beginning, to the origin from which all came, and that the purpose of my Will may have its fulfillment.’”

Vol. 17, May 4, 1925

“My daughter, courage, do not fear. I have told you this, and I have showed you how all of Heaven is bound to that Will of Mine which reigns in you, so that you may never surrender to your will, because the Divine Will and the human will are the fiercest enemies of each other. And since the Divine Will is stronger, holier, more immense, it is befitting that Its enemy – the human will – remain under Its feet, and serve as the footstool of the Divine Will. In fact, one who must live in my Will must not consider himself a terrestrial citizen, but must regard himself as a citizen of Heaven. And it is with just reason that all the Blessed feel shaken, because one who lives with their same Will is thinking of letting the human will enter the field – cause of disorder, which has never entered the celestial regions. You must be convinced that by living of my Will, the life of your will is ended - it no longer has reason to exist. This is why I have told you many times that living in my Will is very different: those who do my Will are free to give their own and to take it back, because they live as terrestrial citizens; but one who lives in It is bound to an eternal point, flows together with my Will, is surrounded by an impregnable fortress. Therefore, do not fear, and be attentive.”

Vol. May 21, 1925

The enemy had access to the earthly Eden and man fell.  In the divine Eden he can not enter, nor does he want to enter as he would be burned more than the fires of hell.  The devil can not even approach one who is completely in the Divine Will with temptations because his lies are exposed and he would be ridiculed, and mockery is something that he can not stand.  It was Jesus' test in the desert that closed the way to the devil.  He can not enter enter the Kingdom of the Fiat so the children of the Divine Will are safe.

The enemy had access to the terrestrial Eden, and the first sin was committed; in the divine Eden entrance is precluded to the devil, to passions and to weaknesses. Even more, he does not want to enter, knowing that my Will would burn him more than the very fire of hell; and upon merely feeling the sensation of It, he flees; and you will give start to the first acts in the divine manner, which are immense, eternal, infinite, and embrace everything and everyone.”

Vol. 12, March 3, 1919

“My daughter, one who is completely in my Will is not subject to temptation, because the devil does not have the power to enter my Will. Not only this, but he himself does not want to enter because my Will is light, and before this light the soul would recognize his tricks very easily and would therefore make fun of the enemy. The enemy does not like this mockery, which is more terrible for him than hell itself; so he does all he can to stay away from her. Try to get out of my Will, and you will see how many enemies will swoop down on you. One who is in my Will carries the flag of victory always high, and none of the enemies dares to confront this impregnable flag.”

Vol. 11, December 14, 1912

You must be my echo, in whom I must form the deposit from which the Kingdom of my Fiat must arise. Follow Me step by step, and you will feel the life, the heartbeat, the happiness of this Kingdom which I contain within Me, and which wants to come out in order to reign in the midst of creatures. And my love for It is so great, that if I allowed the infernal enemy to penetrate into Eden, I will not allow him to set foot in the Eden of the Kingdom of the Fiat. And this is why I permitted that he draw near Me in the desert – to debilitate him and put an end to his steps, and to close the way for him, that he might not dare to enter. Don’t you yourself feel how your presence terrorizes the enemy and he takes flight so as not to see you? It is the strength of my victory that hurls him down, and, feeling confused, he flees. Everything is prepared; there is nothing left but to make it known.”

Vol. 23, February 9, 1928

The Divine Will and the human will are truly enemies and they are in battle with one another, but there is a Divine twist.  Jesus fights with the creature when He reveals His knowledges about the Eternal Fiat, revealing His love, the joys and happiness of the Divine Will in order to overcome the human will and subdue it.  God gives the creature the weapons that she needs in order to battle with and overcome God Himself in order to obtain the Kingdom.  Both sides win with the establishment of His Kingdom.

...do you want to know when you fight with Me and I with you?   I fight when I manifest to you the knowledges about my Eternal Fiat.  So, each saying, each knowledge, each simile about It is one fight and one battle that I make with you in order to win your will, put it in its place, created by Us, and call it, almost by dint of fighting, into the order of the Kingdom of my Divine Volition; and as I do it with you in order to subdue your will, I start it in the midst of creatures.  I fight with you when I teach you the way which you must follow, what you must do in order to live in my Kingdom, and the happiness, the joys, which you will possess.  In sum, I fight by dint of light, which my knowledges contain; I fight by dint of love and by the most touching examples, in such a way that you cannot resist my fight; I fight by means of promises of happiness and joy without end.  My fight is persistent, nor do I ever become tired – but to win what?  Your will, and in yours, those who will recognize Mine in order to live in my Kingdom.  And you fight with Me when you receive my knowledges, and placing them in order in your soul, you form the Kingdom of my Supreme Fiat within you; and fighting with Me, you try to win my Kingdom.  Each one of your acts done in my Will is a fight that you make with Me.  In each round you do through all created things, to unite yourself to all the acts that my Will does in all Creation, you call all Creation to wage battle in order to win my Kingdom, moving my very Will dominating in all created things, so as to wage battle on my Will Itself in order to establish Its Kingdom.  This is why, in these times, the wind, the water, the sea, the earth, the heavens, are all in motion more than ever, waging battle against creatures as new phenomena occur - and how many more will occur - destroying people and cities: because in battles it is necessary to dispose oneself to suffer losses, and many times also on the part of the winner.  There have never been conquests of kingdoms without battle, and if there have been, they have not been lasting ones.  You fight with Me when, investing everything I did and suffered in my Humanity – that is, my tears, my most intimate pains, my prayers, my steps, my words, and even the drops of my Blood – you impress in them your ‘I love You’, and for each one of my acts you ask for the coming of the Kingdom of my Supreme Fiat.  Who can tell you the fight you make with Me?  You move my very acts to wage battle on Me, that I may surrender and grant you my Kingdom.

Therefore, I fight with you, and you fight with Me. This fight is necessary – to you, in order to win my Kingdom; and to Me, in order to win your will and to begin the battle in the midst of creatures, so as to establish the Kingdom of my Supreme Will. I have my own Will, and all of Its very Power, Strength and Immensity in order to win; you have my Will Itself at your disposal, all Creation and all the good I did in Redemption, in order to launch a formidable army to wage battle and win the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat. See, each word you write is also a fight that you make with Me - one more soldier that joins the army, which must win the Kingdom of my Will. Therefore, be attentive, my daughter, for these are times of fight, and it is necessary to use all means in order to win.”

Divine Jealousy of Man

Ever felt like you just don't fit in and maybe you don't even want to? Like somehow there's something that is keeping you apart? There could be some Divine Jealousy going on.


People often think of jealousy as a sin which causes problems in relationships, but there is another type of jealousy mentioned in the Bible where God refers to Himself as a Jealous God.

you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, 6 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Exodus 20: 3-6

23 So be careful not to forget the covenant that the Lord your God made with you, and not to make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For the Lord your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 4: 23-24

A jealous and avenging God is the Lord,

the Lord is avenging and wrathful;

the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries

and rages against his enemies.

The Lord is slow to anger but great in power,

and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.

His way is in whirlwind and storm,

and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Nahum 1: 1-3




Also in the New Testament we are reminded that God is jealous of His relationship with us and that we must choose between the world and God.

Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, “God yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

James 4: 4-10






God's jealously of man is right and just.  Creation was made for man but man was made for God.  All of Adam, even Adam's first acts were made by God even to giving Adam God's own Will, which he possessed until the fall.  God gave Adam His Will so that he could continue to receive from God and grow ever more and more beautiful.   With the gift of the Divine Will God could always interact with man and keep him company.  More so in Adam God established the first acts of all creatures so that they would all be kept in the safety of God's Will.  God is jealous of man because man was made to be entirely for God, with God and in God.  God says that He created His ideal in man and in love of him poured forth His entire being over him to bring His creature to life.  So His jealously over every act done by His beloved is infinite and His sorrow over man's fall and betrayal is incomprehensible.

So, everything you see in Creation was absolutely nothing compared to the creation of man. Oh! how many more beautiful heavens, stars, suns, He extended in the created soul; how much variety of beauty, how many harmonies. It is enough to say that He looked at man created, and He found him so beautiful as to become enamored with him. And jealous of this portent of His, He Himself made Himself the custodian and possessor of man, and said: ‘I have created everything for you; I give you dominion over everything – everything is yours; and you will be all mine.”

Vol. 12, February 24, 1919

“My daughter, if you knew with how much love the creation of man was formed! At merely remembering it, Our Love swells and forms new inundations, taking the attitude of feast in remembering Our work, beautiful, perfect, as It placed in it such mastery of art that no one else can form one similar to it; and it was so beautiful as to reach the point of arousing in Our Love the jealousy that it be all for Us. After all, man had been made for Us, he was Our own - to be jealous of him was a right of Our Love; and this is so true, that Our Love reached such extent, that all the first acts done in Adam were done by his Creator. So, the first act of love was created and done by Us in Adam; the first heartbeat, the first thought, the first word – in sum, for everything that he might do afterwards, there were Our first acts done in him, and upon Our first acts followed the acts of Adam. Therefore, if he loved, his love would spring from within Our first act of love; if he thought, his thought would spring from within Our thought; and so with all the rest.

Had We not done the first acts in him, he would not have been able either to do anything, or to know how to do anything. But by the Supreme Being’s doing the first acts, We placed in Adam as many little fountains for as many first acts as We did in him, in such a way that every time he wanted to repeat Our first acts, he would have these little fountains at his disposal like as many different springs of love, of thoughts, of words, of works and of steps. So, everything was Ours, inside and outside of man, therefore Our jealousy was not only a right, but also justice, that everything was to be for Us and completely Our own. More so, since We were giving him Our Divine Will, that It might preserve him beautiful, fresh, and would make him grow for Us of a divine beauty. Our Love was not content or satisfied with so much It had given him - It wanted to continue to give always; It did not want to say enough, It wanted to continue Its work of love. And in order to have him with Itself, to have the way of interacting with man, It gave him Our very Will, that It might render him capable of being able to always receive, and keep him always with Us with one single Will. With It, everything was guaranteed and safe for him and for Us. So, he was to be Our amusement, Our joy and happiness, the object of Our conversation. Therefore, at the memory of the creation of man, Our Love takes the attitude of feast; but in seeing him without the guarantee of Our Fiat, without safety and therefore vacillating, disfigured and as though far away from Us, It takes the attitude of sorrow and feels all the weight of Our infinite Love as though closed within Itself, because It cannot give Itself to him for It does not find him in Our Divine Will.

But all this is not all. It was not only for Adam that Our Love so poured Itself, but It reached the point of doing all the first acts from which all the human acts were to have life, and each creature that was to come to daylight was present in that act of the creation of man. And Our Fiat, united to Our Love, ran and ran; and embracing all and loving all with one single love, It placed the primacy of Our acts in each creature that would come to existence, because for Us there is no past and no future, but everything is present and in act. If it were not so, Our Fiat would find Itself constrained and hampered, nor could It expand Its flames so much as to enclose all within Its light, in such a way as to do in all what It does in one creature alone. Therefore, Adam was not the only fortunate one of Creation, but all other creatures were enriched with all goods and, in him, were the possessors of his same goods. More so, since in everything that God does in one single creature, all other creatures acquire the right of Our acts, except for those who do not want to make use of them.

Vol. 28, April 18, 1930

If you could form a statue the way you liked the best, and then you poured all of yourself into it, giving it all the vital humors, and with the empire of your love you gave life to it – how much would you not love it? And how much would you not want it to love you? What would your jealousy of love be, so that the whole of it would remain at your disposal, and such that you would not tolerate even one heartbeat which would not be done for you? Ah! in your statue you would look at yourself, and therefore, at every little thing not done for you, you would feel a tearing made to your very self.

So I am. Everything that the creature does not do for Me are tearings that I feel; more so, since the earth that sustains her is mine; the sun that illuminates her and warms her is mine; the water that she drinks, the food that she takes are mine. Everything is mine – she lives at my expense; and while I give her everything, she - the beautiful statue - is not for Me. What must my sorrow be then, and the affront and the offense that this statue gives Me?

Vol. 20, October 29, 1926

As God is three in one so God's love for each of us is triplicate.  Firstly He loves each of us as Creator, Redeemer, and Lover.  Secondly God loves man within all of Creation, as all of Creation was created for man, He loves the Divine Image within each person and He loves each person for themselves as well; Thirdly He loves each of us outside of time, in time and for eternity.  And this tripled love comes forth in its entirety in every breath of God for each person.  Each of us, in turn, are expected to return this triple love to God so that everything is fixed in God and only love for God should come forth from us loving Him for all and in all also in our every breath and act. God wants nothing less.

I said to Him: ‘My sweet Good, tell me, do You continue to love me?’ And He: “Yes, but I am loving and jealous, jealous and loving. Even more, I tell you that in order to be perfect, love must be triple, and in Me there are these triple conditions of love: first, I love you as Creator, as Redeemer and as Lover. Second, I love you in my omnipotence which I used in creating you, and in creating everything for love of you, in such a way that air, water, fire, and everything else, tell you that I love you and that I made them for love of you; I love you as my image, and I love you out of regard for you individually. Third, I love you ab aeterno ['from an infinitely remote point in the past'], I love you in time, and I love you for all eternity. And this is nothing but a breath that came out of my love; imagine, yourself, what must be the love I contain within Myself. Now, you are obliged to return to Me this triple love, loving Me as your God in whom you must fix all of yourself, and let nothing come out of you which is not love for Me; loving me out of regard for yourself and for the good that comes to you; and loving Me for all, and in all.”

Vol. 4, January 11, 1902

God's jealousy for man is such that in order to keep them from falling into love of self and of others He surrounds them, body and soul with bitterness and privations. This is a sign of His greatest favors towards those He holds dearest and His strongest love keeps this soul from loving others and others from loving this soul.  He keeps such a one so small that not one acts of hers will can come forth.  In this way He becomes Her life and her all keeping her inside of Himself.

“My daughter, my jealousy and the caution I have for my creatures is such and so great, that in order not to let them be ruined, I am forced to surround them with thorns – both soul and body, so that the thorns may keep away from them the mud that could dirty them. This is why, my daughter, I surround with thorns – that is, with bitternesses, with privations, with different interior states – also my greatest favors with which I favor the souls who are dear to Me, so that these thorns may not only keep them, but prevent their getting dirty with the mud of love of self, and the like.”

Vol. 9, October 7, 1909

I was saying to my beloved Jesus: ‘Jesus, love me. I have more right than others to be loved, because neither do I love anyone but You, nor does anyone love me. And if someone seems to love me, it is for the good that comes to them - not for me. Therefore, between my love and yours, no other love enters in the middle.’ And sweet Jesus told me:

“My daughter, this is nothing other than my strongest love; and it is such that the jealousy of my love for you takes all things away from you. And my jealousy is such that I remain on guard, so that not even a shadow of love of creature may breathe on you. At the most, I tolerate that some may love you in Me, but not outside of Me; otherwise I would make them flee. And this also means that neither have you entered into any heart, nor has anyone entered into yours.”

Vol. 12, May 28, 1918

Therefore, even though all belong to Us – but in how many different ways; and only one who lives in Our Divine Will lives in Our midst. Our Divine Fiat brings her to Us on Its lap of light, into Our inmost divine womb; nor can We put her outside of Ourselves; in order to do that, We would have to put Our Divine Volition outside of Ourselves, which We cannot do, nor do We want to. On the contrary, We are happy to have her, to cuddle her as Our dear memory, when Our love, overflowing, issued the Creation, wanting the creature to live in Our inheritance of the Divine Will and to amuse herself with her Creator with her innocent smiles. And if you see yourself small, it is the exuberant love of my Fiat, which is all attention and jealousy over you, that concedes you not one act of your human will; therefore the human has no growth, and you feel yourself always small. And this is because my Will wants to form Its Life in your smallness, and when Its Divine Life grows, the human life has no reason to grow; therefore you must content yourself with remaining always small.”

Vol. 27, January 10, 1930





When a soul is all for God, God will be all for that soul and, jealous, He will not allow that creature to receive any consolation from anyone other than Himself so that she would only look to Him, only depend on Him.  He keeps such a soul in His inmost heart and just as God is untouchable so He makes this soul untouchable to any other creature.  He states that He has "infinite jealousies" for this soul.






Therefore, be attentive, my daughter, and do not want to ruin the work of my Will in you. I love it so much and it costs Me so much, that I will use all my infinite jealousies; I Myself will guard my Will, so that yours may never have life.”
Vol. 18, February 11, 1926

my blessed Jesus made Himself seen looking in my interior, turning everything upside down to see if there was something which He did not like. And while turning and turning, He took something like a grain of white sand in His hands, and He threw it to the ground. Then He said to me: “Dearest daughter of mine, it is absolutely right that for one who is all for Me, I be all for her. I am too jealous that someone else might give her the slightest comfort. I alone – I Myself alone want to make up for all, and in everything. What is it that afflicts you? What do you want? I do everything to make you content. Do you see that white grain that I removed from you? It was nothing but a little bit of anxiety, for you wanted to know my Will from others. I removed it from you and I threw it on the ground so as to leave you in holy indifference - the way I want you.

Vol. 10, November 29, 1910

“My daughter, be cheered, do not loose heart too much. My Will renders the soul happy, even in the midst of the greatest storms. Even more, she rises so high that the storms cannot touch her, though she sees them and hears them. The place in which she dwells is not subject to storms, but is always serene, and smiling sun, because her origin is in Heaven, her nobility is divine, her sanctity is in God, in which she is kept by God Himself; because, jealous of the sanctity of this soul who lives in my Will, I keep her in my inmost Heart, and I say: ‘Nobody touch her - my Will is untouchable, It is sacred, and all must give honor to my Will’.”

Vol. 12, August 6, 1917

Souls that live in the Divine Will are kept in His Sanctity so that they are suspended above, like the sun, and will not have human supports.  He loves the world because of these souls and looks to them to give Him everything everyone else denies Him.  Others receive from them but these souls only receive from God Himself. And God will keep them as the most unobserved, who make no clamor at all, so that no one will look at them.  Jesus also uses the sea as an example of how He holds, hides and nourishes all souls who live in His Will.

“Now, the Sanctity in my Will, symbolized by the sun, will come out from the center of my own Sanctity; It will be a ray delivered by my Sanctity, which has no beginning. Therefore, these souls existed in my Sanctity; they exist, and will exist. They were together with Me in the good I did; they never went out of the ray in which I had issued them to the light. Since they never departed from my Will, I amused Myself with them, and I still do. My union with them is permanent. I see them floating over everything; human supports do not exist for them, just as the sun does not lean on anything - it lives up high as though isolated, but with its light it encloses everything within itself. The same for these souls: they live up high like the sun, but their light descends to the deepest bottom and extends to all. I would feel as if I defrauded them if I did not keep them aware of, and did not let them do what I do. Therefore, there is no good which does not descend from them.

“In this Sanctity I see my shadows, my images, hovering over the whole earth, in the air and in Heaven. This is why I love and will love the world: because I am waiting for my Sanctity to have Its echo over the earth, and for my rays to come out to the light and to give Me complete glory, returning to Me the love and the honor which the others have not given to Me. However, just like the sun, they will be the most unobserved, without clamor at all. And if anyone wants to look at them, my jealousy will be such that they will run the risk of remaining blinded, and will be forced to lower their eyes in order to regain their sight. Do you see how beautiful is the Sanctity in my Will? It is the Sanctity closest to your Creator. This is why It will have primacy over all other sanctities. It will enclose within Itself all other sanctities together, and will be life of all other sanctities.

Vol. 13, November 12, 1921

Oh! if you knew how beautiful and delightful it is to see a soul operate in my Will! An image of this can be given to you by father sea and mother earth, which are so bound and linked to each other, that the water cannot be without the earth, and the earth would be sterile without the water. There is like a marriage between them, such that the sea can be called ‘father’, and the earth ‘mother’. Such is the union which the soul should have with my Will.

Now, what is there in the sea? An immensity of waters. Who inhabits these waters? Whom do they nourish? To whom do they give life? To many different fishes, which nourish themselves, swim and dart inside the immense sea. See then, the sea is one, but many fishes live in it; however, the love and the jealousy of the sea toward them is so great, that it keeps them hidden within itself. Its waters lay themselves above and below them, to the right and to the left. If the fish wants to swim and move, it slices through the waters and, darting, it amuses itself; and the water lets itself be cut through, but it presses itself around it, below and above it - it never leaves it. And there where the fish passes, it immediately closes the way behind it, leaving no trace of where it passes or where it reaches, so that no one may follow it. If it wants to be nourished, the water offers itself to feed it; if it wants to sleep, it makes itself its bed; but it never leaves it - it always presses itself around it. But in spite of this, one can see that in the sea there are beings which are not the waters; one can see motions, darts, formed by these mute inhabitants, for which the sea is life, while they are the glory, the honor and the richness of the sea. More than fish is the soul who operates and lives in my Will. My Will is immense, the creature is finite; however, she has her motions, her voicing, her little walking. And as my Will sees her within Itself, Its love and jealousy are so great that, more than sea, It lays Itself above and below her, to the right and to the left, and It makes Itself life, food, word, work, step, suffering, bed, rest and dwelling of this fortunate creature. It follows her everywhere, and It even amuses Itself together with her. I could say that they are my glory, my honor and the richness to whom my Will gives birth. The operating of the soul in my Will is like the swimming and the darting of the fish in the terrestrial sea; and the soul does it in the celestial sea of the Supreme Volition. These souls are the hidden inhabitants of the celestial waves, who live of the immense inheritance of the infinite sea of my Will. And just as the fishes are hidden, disappeared inside the sea, mute, yet they form the glory of the sea and serve as food for man, so do these souls seem disappeared inside the divine sea, mute, yet they form the greatest glory of Creation, and are the primary cause for my letting descend upon earth the delicious food of my Will and of my grace.

Vol. 17, August 9, 1924






We can see a pattern of this Divine Protective Jealousy in the life of the Virgin Mary and which He repeated in Luisa and continues to repeat in souls living in the Divine Will.

Therefore I chose a Virgin, unknown to all, but well known to Me; and if true virginity is my shadow, it was divine jealousy that, choosing Her unknown, wanting Her all for Myself, kept Her unknown to all others. But even though this Celestial Virgin was unknown, I made Myself known, by making my way in order to make Redemption known to all.

The greater the work I want to do, the more I cover the soul with the appearance of the most ordinary things. Now, since the people you mention are well-known people, the divine jealousy could not keep its watch

Vol. 15, April 20, 1923

my Jesus told me: “My little daughter, my newborn of the Divine Will, my Volition conceived you, made you be born, and now raises you with all love. Don’t you see with how much love I hold you in my arms, and do not permit that you take any other food but the breath of my Will? It is the most beautiful, the dearest, the most precious thing which has been issued in Creation until now – the newborn of my Will. Therefore, I will keep you with such jealousy as to let no one touch my newborn. My Will will be everything for you: It will be life, food, garment, clothing and cross for you, because, since It is the greatest thing, it would be unbefitting for your Jesus to mix It with other things which are not a birth from Our Will. Therefore, forget everything, so that no other waters may surround you, inside and out, but the immense sea of the Eternal Volition. I want in you the honor, the nobility, the decorum, of the true newborn daughter of my Will.”

Vol. 16, November 28, 1923






Jesus goes beyond just supplying for this soul in everything.  He becomes her help, and guide, giving unexpected and unforeseen graces and then He goes and consecrates these souls, such as what the priest does over the eucharistic host so Jesus does over the soul and even over her every act.  So that her every act is divine in origin, animated by God's Will and not hers.

“My daughter, daughter of my Will, I love so much one who lives in my Will that I become her custodian, and I keep her sheltered in my own arms. I am jealous that not even one act be lost, because in each act there is the involvement of my very Life.

Vol. 13, August 20, 1921

“My daughter, I am all attention for souls. If they reciprocate Me, and pay as much attention to Me, the ropes of my love remain fixed in their heart, and I multiply my attentions and amuse Myself; otherwise, the ropes remain loose, and my love rejected and saddened.”

Then He added: “With one who does my Will and lives in It, my love finds no obstruction; and I love her so much and have so much predilection for her, as to reserve to Myself alone everything that is needed for her: both help and direction, both unexpected aids and unforeseen graces. Even more, I am jealous that others might do something – I Myself want to do everything for her. And I reach so much jealousy of love that, if I give to priests the authority to consecrate Me in the Sacramental Hosts so that I may be given to souls, with these souls, instead, as they keep repeating the acts in my Will, as they resign themselves, as they make the human will go out in order to let the Divine Will enter, I Myself reserve to Myself the privilege to consecrate these souls. And what the priest does over the host, I do with them - and not only once, but every time she repeats the acts in my Will, like powerful magnet, she calls Me, and I consecrate her for Myself like privileged host, repeating over her the words of the Consecration. And I do this with justice, because the soul, by doing my Will, sacrifices herself more than those souls who receive Communion and do not do my Will. They empty themselves of themselves in order to place Me; they give Me full dominion, and if needed, they are ready to suffer any pain in order to do my Will. And I cannot wait - my love cannot keep from communicating Me to them until when it is convenient to the priest to give them a Sacramental Host. Therefore, I do everything by Myself. Oh! how many times I communicate Myself before the priest feels comfortable to communicate her himself. If it were not so, my love would remain as though hampered and bound in the Sacraments. No, no, I am free; I have the Sacraments inside my Heart, I am the Owner of them and can exercise them whenever I want.”

Vol. 12, June 20, 1918

Jesus makes it so all of His acts surround the soul living in His Will so that they will never touch the earth or take part in anything of it.  His life continuously flows within them reflecting the Creation and being the triumph of Redemption.

“My daughter, my love toward the children of my Will will be such and so great, that I will not permit that they touch the earth. I will lay my steps under their feet so that, if they walk, they may touch my steps, not the earth - in such a way as to feel within them the life of my steps, which will communicate the life of the steps of my Divine Will to the steps of the children of my Will. If they work, they will feel the touch of my works which, lining up, will communicate to their works the virtue of my Will. If they speak, if they think, they will feel the life of my words and of my thoughts which, investing them, will communicate to their minds and words the virtue of my Fiat. So, I Myself will be the carrier of the children of my Will; I will be very jealous that they may not touch anything, so that they may take part in nothing, and may feel my life flow continuously within them, forming the life of the eternal Will in theirs. Therefore, they will be the most beautiful works of my creative hands. Oh, how the work of Creation will be reflected in them! They will be the triumph of my Redemption – everything shall triumph in them. Then will I be able to say: ‘My works are complete’, and I will take rest in the midst of the children of my Supreme Fiat.”

Vol. 24, May 6, 1928

And what is the value of a single act done in the Divine Will?  Each is greater than Creation itself.  Each one contains a Divine Life and each is a new glory and a new feast.

“How could I not keep this soul guarded and not be extremely jealous of her, if just one act of hers is worth more than Creation Itself?

Vol. 13, August 20, 1921

“My daughter, have you seen with what love I amuse Myself and direct the acts done in my Will? My jealousy is such that I do not entrust them to anyone, not even to the soul herself. I leave not a thought, not a fiber, without enclosing all the power of my Will in it. Each one of these acts contains a Divine Life, therefore at the touch of these acts all created things feel the Life of their Creator; they feel once again the strength of that omnipotent Fiat from which they came into existence, and they make feast. Therefore, these acts are new glory and new feast for them.

Vol. 14, April 29, 1922






God's love is so jealous that He makes Himself life of everything within this creature.  Even virtues must take their existence from God's love so that they may be divine and not of any human origin.  As He keeps this soul in His inmost heart the one becomes poured into the other and thereby He shares His own qualities with her embellishing her always more and more.

“My daughter, love encloses everything, chains everything, gives life to everything, triumphs over everything, embellishes everything, enriches everything. Purity is content with not doing any act, gaze, thought or word, which is not honest, while it tolerates the rest; and this amounts to the acquisition of mere natural purity. Love is jealous of everything, even of one’s thought and breath, as honest as one may be. It wants everything for itself, and with this, it gives to the soul not natural, but Divine purity - and so with all the other virtues. So, one can say that love is patience, love is obedience, is sweetness, is fortitude, is peace – it is everything. If all the other virtues do not receive life from love, they can be called natural virtues at the most; but love changes them into Divine virtues. Oh! what a difference between the two: the natural virtues are servants, the Divine are queens. Therefore, may love be enough for you, in everything.”

Vol. 10, November 23, 1910

“My daughter, when a soul fuses herself in my Will, it happens as when two containers, full of different fluids, are poured one into the other: the first remains filled with what the second contained, and the second with the content of the first. In the same way, the creature remains filled with Me, and I with her. And since my Will contains sanctity, beauty, power, love, etc., by filling herself with Me, fusing and abandoning herself in my Will, the soul comes to be filled with my sanctity, with my love, with my beauty, etc., in the most perfect way given to a creature. And I feel I am filled with her, and finding in her my sanctity, my beauty, my love, etc., I look at these things as if they were her own, and I like her so much as to become enamored, in such a way as to keep her jealously in my inmost Heart, enriching her and embellishing her continuously with my divine qualities, to be ever more delighted and enamored.”

Vol. 11, August 27, 1915

Amazingly the value of these acts and virtues that take their existence from the Divine Will are not static.  The value actually increases with each new knowledge on the Divine Will that the creature gains.  So that the creature, as well, guards more and more, with loving jealousy, everything of the Divine Will.

“Every time I speak to you about my Will and you acquire new understandings and knowledges, your act in my Will receives more value and you acquire more immense riches. It happens as to a man who possesses a gem, and knows that this gem is worth a penny: he is rich one penny. Now, it happens that he shows his gem to a skilled expert, who tells him that his gem has a value of five thousand lira. That man no longer possesses one penny, but he is rich five thousand lira. Now, after some time he has the opportunity to show his gem to another expert, even more experienced, who assures him that his gem contains the value of one hundred thousand lira, and is ready to buy it if he wants to sell. Now that man is rich one hundred thousand lira. According to his knowledge of the value of his gem, he becomes richer, and feels greater love and appreciation for the gem; he keeps it in custody more jealously, knowing that the gem is all his fortune, while before he held it as a trifle. Yet, the gem has not changed – that which it was, so it is now; he is the one who has changed, by understanding the value that the gem contains.

“Now, the same happens with my Will, as well as with virtues. According to how the soul understands their value and acquires knowledge of them, she comes to acquire new values and new riches in her acts. Therefore, the more you know my Will, the more your act will acquire value. Oh! if you knew what seas of graces I open between you and Me every time I speak to you about the effects of my Will, you would die of joy and would make feast, as if you had acquired new kingdoms to dominate.”

Vol. 13, August 25, 1921

“Are not perhaps the so many knowledges on my Will remedies? Every manifestation and word that I say is a fortitude that I put around the weakness of the human will, it is a food that I prepare, it is a bait, a taste, a light in order to make her reacquire the lost sight. Therefore be attentive and do not lose anything of that which my Will manifests to you, because in his time all will be served, nothing will be lost. Do you believe that He doesn’t hold account even of one single word of that which he says? All numbered and nothing lost; and if in your soul he has formed his chair/seat in order to deposit his truths, however the primary chair\seat holds it reserved in itself as the greatest treasure that belongs to him, in a way that if you disperse some word or manifestation that belongs to him, already the original is conserved in oneself, because that which regards my Divine Will is of infinite value and the infinite can not be nor is it subject to disperse; rather jealous he conserves his truths in the divine archives. Therefore you also learn to be jealous and vigilant and to appreciate his holy lessons.”

Vol. 30, January 17, 1932

Jesus' jealousy of all the acts done by souls living in His Will is such that He gathers and guards them all, feeding these souls the continuous Life of His Will.  He even places thousands of Angels as custodians over each act and they adore the Eternal Will found within each act.

“My daughter, my Divine Will is the gatherer of everything that belongs to It. Jealous of Its acts, It does not disperse a single one of them, because each of Its acts contains an infinite act, one whole entire eternity, an interminability that never ends. Therefore, they are acts not subject to being dispersed; and when my Fiat forms Its acts, the love, the jealousy for Its act is so great, that It keeps it on Its lap of light as glory and triumph of the power of Its operating. Now, when the soul lives in my Divine Will and encloses her acts in It, she becomes an act of Divine Will; and then she repeats for herself all the acts that the Divine Will does, and she gives It the glory, the requital, of Its divine acts. And, oh! how my Divine Fiat feels triumphant of this creature, finding in her a pure act of Its Will; and It makes Itself the gatherer of everything that this creature can do - It does not disperse even one breath, because in everything It finds Its operating Will, and this is enough in order for It to have acts worthy of It. And It loves her so much, that It keeps her clasped in Its lap of light, to give her the continuous Life of Its Volition, and to receive from her the requital of It. Therefore, my daughter, be attentive to receive this Life of Divine Will, so as to be able to say: ‘Life of Divine Will You give me, and Life of Divine Will I give You’.”

Vol. 28, May 20, 1930

the same for the acts done in my Will: my love, my jealousy toward them is such that grace caresses them, my love conceives them, fecundates them and matures them. I place thousands of Angels as custodians of one single act done in my Will. In fact, since these acts done in my Will are seeds in order that my Will may be done on earth as it is in Heaven, everyone is jealous of these acts. Their dew is my breath; their shadow is my light. The Angels remain enraptured by them and, reverent, they adore them, because in these acts they see the Eternal Will, which deserves all their adoration. Only when I find souls who, picking them as divine fruits make of them food for their own souls, then are these acts left. Oh, fecundity and multiplicity of these acts! The creature herself who does them cannot count them.”

Vol. 14, April 25, 1922





Such a soul is the smile of Jesus and He focuses on them making Himself actor and spectator of everything they do even to make them nearly forget the exile of life.

Oh! how so very different is the sanctity of the soul who lives in the Divine Will! These souls are the smile of Jesus; they are far away from everyone, even from the very directors. Only Jesus is everything for them; therefore, nobody worries because of them. The beneficial air that they possess embalms all; they are the order and the harmony of all. Jesus, jealous of these souls, makes Himself actor and spectator of whatever they do – there is not one heartbeat, breath or thought which He does not regulate and dominate. Jesus keeps this soul so absorbed in the Divine Will that she can hardly remember that she is living in the exile.

Vol. 12, August 14, 1917

The jealously of God, for the soul that lives in Him, is such that He alone wants to provide everything for His child and superabundantly too.  There is no danger to the soul in this as she converts everything into Divine Will always looking to the Divine Will in all things.  Meaning there's no risk that she will become attached to the gifts over the giver.  In others, however, natural means will often be taken away so that that one does not become attached to them placing them before God.

“My daughter, let father know, in my name, that I thank him and I will reward the goodness of his heart for the care he has for you. However, let him know that the daughter of my Will has no need of anything, for my Will makes her abound with everything; even more, It is jealous that others might offer something to her, because It alone wants to give everything to Its daughter. In fact, wherever my Divine Will reigns, there is no fear that natural means and abundance of goods might do harm; on the contrary, the more means she has and the more abundance she enjoys, the more she looks at the Power, the Goodness, the richness of the Supreme Fiat in them, and she converts everything into most pure gold of Divine Will. So, the more my Will gives to her, the more It feels glorified in carrying out Its life in the creature, in offering Its own things to the one who lets It dominate and reign. It would be absurd if a very rich father had poor children - such a father would deserve to be condemned. And besides, what would be the purpose of his riches if the birth that came from his own body – his very children - conducted a life of hardships and miseries? Would it not be a dishonor for this father, and an unbearable bitterness for these children, to know that, while the father is extremely rich, they lack everything and can hardly satisfy their hunger?

If this would be absurd and a dishonor for a father in the natural order, much more so in the supernatural order of the Supreme Fiat. The Supreme Fiat is more than father, for It contains the fount of all goods, and therefore, wherever It is present, happiness reigns and It makes one abound with everything. More so since, with the soul who has the possession of the Divine Will, It administers, to soul and body, a sharp and penetrating sight, in such a way that she penetrates into the natural things, which hide It as a veil; and tearing these veils, in the natural things she finds the noble queen of the Divine Will reigning and dominating within her. So, natural things disappear for her, and in all things she finds that adorable Will which she possesses; she kisses It, she adores It, and everything becomes Divine Will for the soul. Therefore, each additional natural thing is one new act of Divine Will for her, which she possesses. So, natural things are means for one who is child of my Will, in order to make known more what my Will does, can do, and possesses, and to what excessive point It loves the creature. Do you want to know, then, why creatures lack natural means, and many times these are snatched away from them, and they reduce themselves to the most squalid misery? First, because they do not possess the fullness of the Supreme Fiat; second, because they confuse natural things, and put nature in the place of God; nor do they look at the Supreme Will in the natural things, but, greedy, they become attached to them to form a vain glory for themselves, an esteem that blinds them, an idol for their hearts. Given this, it is necessary that natural means be lacking in order to put their souls in safety. But for one who is child of my Will all these dangers do not exist, and therefore I want them to abound with everything, and to lack nothing.”

Vol. 20, January 28, 1927

God jealously keeps such a creature throughout her entire life and then at the moment of her death He wants to bring her to Himself right away.  He even goes so far as to make up for anything that she might lack in order to reveal Himself to her immediately without her ever touching Purgatory.

“My daughter, one who does my Will can by no means go to Purgatory, because my Will purges the soul of everything. After keeping her so jealously during her life, in the custody of my Volition, how could I allow the fire of Purgatory to touch her? At the most she may lack some clothing, but my Will, before revealing the Divinity to her, will clothe her with all that she may lack. And then I reveal Myself.”

Vol. 11, March 8, 1914

So if you find yourself seemingly being isolated from the world it just may be that you are being isolated so that you can be bound with God and He is jealously keeping you for Himself.  He Himself says in the Volumes to Luisa about how isolation is one of the hardest sufferings for Him:

...do not ever leave me alone, solitude is one of the hardest and most intimate sufferings of my Heart; not having one to whom to say a word to, as much in the sufferings as in the joys, it makes me give into such manias of sorrow and of love that if you might be able to experience them you would die of pure sorrow.

Vol. 36, September 18, 1938

So He selects a few to share this suffering with Him in as much as the creature is able to.  But just as He shares His pain with these souls so will He also share an everlasting bond with them which can only be understood in the prefigured Marital bond.  He has bound Himself to this soul and is anxiously awaiting, with bated breath, that it's every glance, thought and act might be directed toward Him, living only for Him and He, in turn, lives only for them.  

“My good daughter I greatly love creatures, but I feel more drawn to love, (to be) enraptured and conquered by the soul that lives abandoned in my arms, as if she might have no one in the world but only her Jesus; she trusts only me and if they offer her other supports she refuses them, in order to have the support of her Jesus, that holds her tightly between his arms, defends her and takes all care of her.  These are the souls that I greatly greatly love; my preferred ones, that I surround with my divine power; I form around her the wall of my love, in a way that troubles one who touches her (from) me, my love will know how to defend them and my power will knock down those people that want to displease me.

“The souls abandoned in me, live only for me and I live only for them, as if we might live with one breath alone and with one love alone; and if some human support is presented, they look if I am there in that support, if I am not there they run away, in order to arrive to shelter themselves in my arms from it.  Of these souls alone I can trust, to entrust my secrets, even to lean myself on them; I am sure that they won’t go out from my Will because they are always together with me.

“Instead one who doesn’t live all abandoned in me, escapes from my arms, she doesn’t refuse the human supports, rather she takes gusto/(pleasure) from them, they are inconstant; now they search (for) me, now the creature; they are constrained to feel the disillusionment of creatures that open in their souls profound tears; they feel the earth in their heart, and my Will as life is far from them.  Oh, if they might abandon themselves in my arms!  The earth would disappear for them, they would not take care of/pay attention to any one, because I alone am enough for everyone.

“I love so much one who lives abandoned in my arms, that I manifest to them my greater excesses of love, my finesses of love, my caresses are for them, I arrive to invent new stratagems of love, in order to hold them occupied and all unified in my love.  Therefore only live abandoned in my arms, and in all things you will find your Jesus who defends you, helps you and sustains you.”

Fiat!!!
