Divine Air and the Divine Fire of Love

The last post ended on the desire of God to renew the relations with the creature as Father and child so that he/she might receive all the inheritance God wants to endow him/her with.  This can only occur with the soul living in the Divine Will and breathing the Divine air continuously.  It is a continuous communion which is maintained and safeguarded by the breath of God.

“Daughter of my Will, my omnipotent breath gives you the life of my Will.  In fact, for one who does my Will, my Will administers to her Its breath as life; and as It breathes upon her, It moves away from her all that does not belong to Me, and she breathes nothing but the air of my Will.  And just as the air is inhaled and exhaled, the same for the soul:  it is a continuous receiving of Myself and giving of herself to Me at each breath. 

Vol. 14, March 21, 1922



This is a mutual communion where the one feeds and nourishes the other.  In this way God brings about the communication of all his goods with the creature so that he can regenerate in her all that which was lost from the fall.

And since the creature is one of our works, we want to find in her our Will as life, so that not only she but all her works serve us (for) food and we for exchange give her our food.  This feeding each other with the same foods forms the agreement between God and the creature.  This agreement produces peace, communication of goods, inseparability; it seems that the divine breath/[fiato] breathes in the creature and that of hers in God, that they unite so much as to feel as if the breath/[fiato] of the one (is) as if it might be one alone with the other.  Hence agreement of Will, agreement of love, of works happen.  We feel that breath/[fiato] that we put forth in the Creation of man, that he broke with doing his will, is reborn anew in the creature; our Will holds the virtue and office to regenerate in her that which she has lost with sin and to reorder her as she went forth from our creative hands.”

Vol. 30, February 10, 1932



This living in the Divine Will and breathing the Divine air of God does not just pass on spiritual goods but allows the soul to acquire the true visage of a true child of God.  So that the creature becomes in appearance, manners, in the way they speak, pray and love a true and legitimate child of God once more. 

“My daughter, since you are born in my Will, it is necessary, it is right and decorous that you live, grow and be nourished in It, and that you acquire the prerogatives of a true daughter of my Volition.  No extraneous feature, nor anything which does not belong to my Will must appear in you.  Therefore, from your physiognomy, from your manners, from your speaking, and even from the way you love and pray, it must be recognized that you are the daughter of my Will.  Do you see, then, how I love you, and with what jealousy I keep you and nourish you?  With my very breath, because only my breath can preserve, whole and permanent, the Life of my Will in one who must live in my Volition.  And so, that breath which, with so much love, I released from my bosom in the creation of man, to infuse in him my likeness, I continue to infuse in the soul who lives in my Will, in order to form my true images and the great portents which I had established to form in Creation, and for which all things were made. 

Vol. 19, May 1, 1926




But people pay no mind to this Divine life, this spiritual air and reject it.  The Divine air for the soul however is of the same if not more importance as the natural air for the body, without it there can be no health or life.

“My daughter, in creating man, in order to preserve his life, I formed around him the air of the body and the air of the soul: the natural air for the body, the air of my Will for the soul. Do you believe that the natural air, only because it is air, has the virtue of giving respiration to man, and strength, nourishment, freshness and vegetation to all nature? So, even though it cannot be seen, the air has everything in its power and constitutes itself life of each created being. Therefore, all feel the necessity of the air, and the air follows its course everywhere, at night and at daytime; it penetrates into the beating of the heart, into the circulation of the blood – everywhere. But do you know why it contains so much virtue? Because in the air there is the whole substance of the goods it produces; the nourishing, the respiratory and the vegetative strength were placed by God in the air, and it contains as though many seeds of all the good it encloses.

Now, if air was needed for the preservation of all nature, air was also needed for the preservation of the soul; and my goodness did not want to entrust or form another air for the soul, but my very Will wanted to constitute Itself air for the soul, so that all the substance of the goods It contains, like air, though invisible, might penetrate into the depth of the soul and bring her the divine nourishment, the vegetation and all goods, the respiratory virtue of all that is Heaven, the invincible strength, the fecundity of all virtues. There should be a contest - the body, in breathing the natural air, and the soul, in breathing the air of my Will. Yet, there is enough to cry! If creatures feel the natural air lacking, they procure it for themselves by going up to high mountains, and they express with sorrow the lack of air; but they have not one thought or sorrow for the air of my Will. Even though creatures are forced to be as though soaked with the air of my Will, because they do not love this balsamic and sanctifying air, It cannot place in the soul the goods It contains, and It is forced to remain there sacrificed, without being able to carry out the life It contains. Therefore, my daughter, I recommend to you – if you want my Will to fulfill Its designs within you, always breathe the air of my Will, so that, as you breathe it, the Divine Life may vegetate in you, and It may lead you to the true purpose for which you were created.”

Vol. 17, November 23, 1924

Only by breathing this Divine air can the creature receive the balm to all evils that are produced by the human will which would otherwise make her sick and weak.  Instead she receives peace, sanctity, happiness, purity and a Divine love which burns everything.

 

My Will possesses an enrapturing beauty which, if it makes itself seen with clarity even just once, enraptures, embellishes, casting its waves of beauties over the soul, in such a way that they will not easily be able to forget a beauty so rare, and will remain as though in the maze of Its beauty, unable to get out. It possesses an enchanting power, and the soul remains fixed within Its sweet enchantment. It possesses a balsamic air, such that, as it is breathed, they will feel, enter into themselves, the air of peace, of sanctity, of divine harmony, of happiness, of the light that purifies everything, of the love that burns everything, of the power that conquers everything, in such a way that this air will bring the celestial balm to all the evils produced by the bad, morbid and deadly air of the human will. See, also in the human life, air acts in a surprising way. If the air is pure, good, healthy, fragrant, the respiration is free, the blood circulation is regular, and creatures grow strong, nourished, rosy and healthy. But if the air is bad, stinking and infected, the respiration is hampered, the blood circulation is irregular; and not receiving the life of the pure air, creatures are weak, pale, gaunt and sickly. The air is the life of creatures - they cannot live without it; but there is a great difference between good and bad air. So it is with the air of the soul. The air of my Will maintains life pure, healthy, holy, beautiful and strong, as it came out from the womb of its Creator. The deadly air of the human will deforms the poor creature, it makes her descend from her origin, and she grows as sick, weak, such as to arouse pity.”

In the previous post it mentioned how we are each created an image of God, a little flame of love.  This fire of love is meant to be directed toward God alone.  When we use this for selfish love we extinguish this Divine fire of love with our own little breaths.  However "upright" acts, those done for the love of God, keep this Divine fire lit with one continuous breath, the breath of God.

 

“Upright operating keeps Divine Love always lit within the soul, while the operating which is not upright keeps putting it out, and if it tries to light it, now comes the breath of love of self and puts it out, now human respect, now self esteem, now the breath of the desire to please others… In sum, many breaths always keep putting it out; while with the upright operating, it is not many breaths that light this divine fire in the soul, but one continuous breath which keeps it always lit – and it is only the omnipotent breath of a God.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
Luke 20:25


We've all read this but it's meaning is much more expansive than what I once believed.  Everything we do, think, say, love is meant to be done for God alone.  All of our love is to be centered on God alone so that love of creatures and love of self exists but only on the behalf of love of God.

‘Daughter, I ask from you nothing other than what I gave you.  It is for your own good; do not steal from Me what is mine.  The breath is mine - breathe only for Me; the heartbeat and the movement are mine - palpitate and move only for Me’; and so with all the rest.  But, to my greatest sorrow, I am forced to see the heartbeat taking one way, the breath another; and I, poor beggar, remain on an empty stomach, while the love of self, of creatures, and even of passions remain full.  Can there be a greater wrong than this? 

Vol. 11, February 26, 1912

This fire of Divine love in the creature, in life, burns away all that which is not of God and God uses privation of him, those dry spells we all dread so much, to fan the flames of this fire more so creating a continuous spiritual communion.  Jesus calls this the purgatory of the soul. 

“My daughter, poor daughter, courage, the privation of Me excites the desire more, and in this excited desire the soul breathes God; and God, feeling more ignited by this excitement of the soul, breathes the soul.  In this breathing each other - God and the soul - thirst for love ignites more, and since love is fire, it forms the purgatory of the soul, and this purgatory serves her, not as just one Communion a day, as the Church allows, but as a continuous communion, just as the breathing is continuous.  But these are all communions of most pure love – only of spirit, not of body; and since the spirit is more perfect, as a consequence, love is more intense.  This is how I repay, not one who does not want to receive Me, but one who cannot receive Me, depriving himself of Me to content Me.

Vol. 6, December 5, 1903




So that an act done by a soul living in the Divine Will is a property of Heaven, but an act done by the human will waits in Purgatory for the creature to join it there so that they might be purified with fire.  Even then they will never take a position of honor in the Celestial Country as when acts are done in the Divine Will.

“My daughter, you should know that every act of the creature holds its post around God; as every star holds its post under the vault of heaven.  Thus the acts of them, each one holds its post.  But which are those that depart for the regal way, as property of the Celestial Country, and take the most honored post and give divine glory to their Creator?  The acts done in my Will.

“When one of these acts depart from the earth, the Heavens lower themselves, all the blessed go to meet it and they accompany that act to the post of honor around the supreme Throne.  They all feel glorified in that act, because the eternal Will has triumphed in the act of the creature and has put there his divine act.  Instead the acts not done in my Will, and perhaps even good, they don’t depart by the regal way, they depart by the tortuous ways and they cover a long stop over by going through purgatory and there wait for the creature in order to purify themselves together with ways of fire; and when they finish purifying themselves, then they depart for heaven in order to take their post, but not in the high-class posts, but in the secondary posts.  Do you see the great difference?  [For] the first acts, no sooner than [the act is] formed, it doesn’t even remain together with the creature, because being stuff of Heaven it can not remain upon the earth, and therefore immediately takes its flight into its Country; not only, but all the Angels and Saints demand in heaven that which has been done by the Divine Will as their stuff, because all that which becomes done by him, as much in earth as in Heaven, are all proprieties of the Celestial Country.  Therefore his every little act is demanded by all of heaven, because they are all fonts of joys and eternal beatitudes, that belong to them.  All to the contrary (for) one who doesn’t work in my Will.”

Vol. 30, Feb. 16, 1932



So acts done for love of God, in the Divine Will, are acts which all of creation shares in.  They are joined inseparably in the breath of God which reaches everyone and everything and are purified by the Divine fire of love here on earth.  Any act not done in the Divine Will even though good, and the creature that did it, must be purified by the fires of Purgatory before it can enter Heaven.


 

“How beautiful is living in my Volition, not only is it a way, but as the soul is (about) to do her act, the divine breath descends into her act, and breathing forth fills all the creation with his omnipotent breath and everyone feels the refreshment, the love, the power of the creative breath that holds (the) power of enclosing everyone and everything, embalming with his divine and celestial air.
Vol. 36, July 11, 1938

 

 And finally not only by doing an act in the Divine Will does all of Creation share in that act but it is as breathing the All of God and giving the All of God back to God.  And here is the fulfillment of the purpose of God, to have a creature that can love him with Divine eternal love, not limited and finite, but giving him all that which he is.  It is a true loving relationship with each giving to the other.

 “My daughter, one who lives in my Divine Will breathes the All; and just as the breath is taken and is given, and one receives it to then give it back with no time in between, one who breathes the All, which is God, in emitting her breath, gives the All which she has breathed.  So, she takes All, and she gives All.  She gives the All to God, giving God to God, and she gives the All to creatures, to then breathe God again and everything that God does.  It is natural that one who takes All, can give All.  Only in the Divine Will is the Life of the Supreme Being bilocated continuously on the part of creatures.”

And I:  ‘My Jesus, I feel I am doing nothing, and You tell me that in your Fiat I take All and I give All?’

 And Jesus added:  “My daughter, when the All operates, the nothing remains in its place – it only makes itself available to receive the All.  And besides, do you not feel within yourself the strength of this All which, making you embrace and invade everything – heavens, stars, sun, seas and earth - and embrace all the acts which my Fiat exercises in the whole Creation, makes you bring them to your Creator, as though in one breath, to give everyone and everything back to Him?  Has there been anyone until now who has given and has been able to say:  ‘I give everything to God, even God Himself, because since I live in His Will, God is mine, the heavens are mine, the sun and everything that this Supreme Fiat has done is mine.  So, since everything is mine, I can give everything and I can take everything’?  Now, it happens as a consequence that one who lives in my Will has the possession of the All, and this forms and draws the Kingdom of the Divine Will upon earth; because in order to form a kingdom, it takes the strength of the Power of the All.”

 Happy Easter everyone may his Kingdom come.

 

 

The Earth of God

 

In today's mass there was this gospel reading. I've found a really nice interpretation on the Internet concerning this reading,  Gospel Commentary .  He speaks about how it was commonly accepted that the vineyard represents Gods people and how as they have killed his prophets in the past they will also kill his son, Jesus.  From working on the previous post, however, one of the passages in the Volumes reminded me of this gospel verse so I will take a little detour from the line I was following to explore this one today as it seems God is prodding me to do so. 

 

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. ³⁴ When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; ³⁵ and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. ³⁷ Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ ³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ ³⁹ And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. ⁴⁰ When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” ⁴¹ They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

⁴² Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:

‘The very stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner;
this was the Lord’s doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

⁴³ Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

⁴⁵ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. ⁴⁶ But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet. 

Matthew 21: 33-43, 45-46

 

 

This passage has also often been used to justify the opening of the works of God to the gentiles and Jesus himself, in Volume 4, speaks on how the Jewish Nation had received the most grace and yet was the most sterile whereas other nations produced greater fruit.

 

 

 

“My daughter, how terrible it can be for those souls who have been much fecundated by my grace, but have not corresponded to it.  The Jewish nation was the favorite one, the most fecundated, and yet, the most sterile; and the whole of my Person could not obtain that fruit which Paul obtained in other nations, less fecundated, but more corresponding.  In fact, lack of correspondence to grace blinds the soul, it makes her deceive herself, and disposes her to obstinacy, even in the face of any miracle.”

Vol. 4, March 9, 1903

 

 

There was a previous post, The Fruitful Land, where I explored the marriage covenant between the creature and God and how the land and earth are common images of the creature.  I won't recover that material but it's there for those who are interested.  In the above gospel I'd never seen the interpretation which Jesus expounds in this passage.  Here Jesus tells Luisa that it is God's aim to form, grow and mature completed acts in the creature but this can only occur in a creature living in the Divine Will.  When we don't live in the Divine Will we break his acts and they remain incomplete and as handicapped.  When we operate with our own wills we frustrate the plans of the owner of vineyard from his designs on it.  Jesus clearly states that the earth represents his creatures and the ungrateful servants are our own human volitions which frustrate his works and kill his designs.

 

“My good daughter, only my Volition maintains and conserves intact, with a continuous act, the beginning of the Creation of the creature.  Our Supreme Being gave the beginning and animated her life with the power of our divine breath; this breath should not ever be broken, more so that when we give and we do an act we never withdraw it, and this serves in order to form the completed work of the being that we put forth to the light.  This first act of ours, while it serves to give beginning and to form the life, the continuation, it serves in order to make of the creature a completed act of ours, and as we breathe (in) her thus we form in her our continuous acts in order to complete our divine life.  Our breath, as we give it, forms sip by sip the growth of this life of ours in the creature.  Our breath, as it gives itself, thus it forms our completed act of sanctity, of beauty, of love, of goodness and so on, and when we have filled her so much, in a way that we don’t have anywhere more to put our act in the creature, because she is limited, our breath ceases and her life finishes in earth, and in order to immortalize our breath in Heaven, we transport our fully grown life in her, our completed act, into our Celestial Country as triumph of our Creation.  There is no more beautiful rarity than these lives and completed acts of ours in the Celestial sojourn, they are the narrators of our power, of the enthusiasm of our love, they are speaking voices of our omnipotent breath, that alone could form the divine life, our completed act in the creature.  But do you know where we can form this life and this completed act of ours, for how much it is possible and imaginable for a creature to receive from her Creator?  [In] the soul that lives in our Divine Will and lets herself be dominated by Him.  Ah! only in her can we form the divine life and develop our completed act; our Volition disposes the creature to receive all the qualities and divine colors, and our breath not ever interrupted, as expert brush/(artist), paints with admirable and inimitable mastery the most beautiful tones and forms there the images of our Supreme Being; if it might not be for these images there would not have been that great work of the Creation, nor great work of the power of our creative hands, creating the Sun, the Sky, the stars and all the universe would have been a beautiful nothing for our power.  But instead all our power, the art of our divine arts, the indescribable excess of our intense love, it is to do our completed act in the creature with forming our life in her and so much is our gratification, that we ourselves remain enraptured in our act that we develop. For us to do a completed act it is the greatest glory that glorifies us most, it is the most intense love that praises us most, it is the power that praises us continually.  But alas! for one who doesn’t live in our Volition, how many broken acts of ours, without conclusion, how many divine lives of ours hardly conceived or at the most born without growing.  [Creatures] break the continuation of our work and bind our arms without being able to go ahead; they put us in the impotence of a master who holds his earth and is prevented by his ungrateful servants from doing the work that he wants to in his earth, to sow it, to plant the plants that he wants; poor proprietor, to hold sterile earth, without the fruit that he could receive, for reason of his iniquitous servants.  Our earths are creatures and the ungrateful servant is the human volition, which opposing ours with hers puts us in impotence from forming our divine life in them.  Now you should know that in Heaven one doesn’t enter if one doesn’t possess our divine life, or at least conceived or born, and such will be the glory, the beatitude of the blessed, for how much growth has been formed of our life in them.  Now what will be the difference for one who has hardly let him be conceived, be born or grown with little proportions, from one who has let us form complete life?  So much will be the difference, that it is incomprehensible to the human creature.  Those will be as the people of the Celestial kingdom, instead our images will be as princes, ministers, the noble court, the regal army of the great King.  Therefore one who does my Divine Will and lives in Him can say:  ‘I do all and I also belong from this earth to the family of my Celestial Father.’”

Vol. 29, October 12, 1931

I had never thought of this gospel before where we are both the vineyard and the murderous tenets.  But with this in mind when Jesus says: "Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it..." it does  give me pause especially in light of the gospel on the talents.

¹⁴ “For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; ¹⁵ to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. ¹⁶ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. ¹⁷ So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. ¹⁸ But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. ¹⁹ Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. ²⁰ And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ ²¹ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’ ²² And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ ²³ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’ ²⁴ He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; ²⁵ so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ ²⁶ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? ²⁷ Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. ²⁸ So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. ²⁹ For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.³⁰ And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.’
 Matthew 25:14-30

We are to be held responsible for corresponding with God.  He is the true and rightful owner of us and we are the earth were he wants to develop his acts.  Even with corresponding to grace we will not produce complete acts.  We have to live in his Will so that he can achieve his complete designs we can't do it.  If we hold something back from him and live under our own will we will always be to one degree or another the ungrateful servant who cheats God from his due.

Breath of Life

Well, I once again find myself before a huge subject, which will by necessity become more than one, maybe more than two posts.  It started back with Creation Sunday, (and yes I've been working on it since then,) and the first reading in mass that brought me back to a draft which I've had in storage on the Breath of Life.


⁷ then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. 
Genesis 2:7



There are so many references in the Volumes on the Divine Breath; on the moment of the Creation of man and all that that breath encompassed, to the intimate union between the breath of man and the breath of God, to the suffering caused by the division of man and God with original sin, and to the renewal of man in the Divine Will through the Divine Breath once again breathing into man.  I began this thinking that it might be a quick topic but it has once again caught me in a labyrinth of material and I get the feeling that Jesus is having a good laugh over my predicament. 

Even in the translation from Italian to English there are layers to appreciate.  The Italian word for breath often used in the Volumes is Fiato and from that can be seen the close spelling of the word Fiat or the expressed word of God, the second person of God, Jesus.  Jesus in one reading also refers to creatures as his fiati which is normally translated as "breaths" but also has the possible translation of "wind instruments."  So you can see even in the words there is a lesson where God is the spirit, the motion, the breath and we are the instruments through which he creates his music.  So I will leave it to God to find the order and path through this maze of information.

So I think I'll start "in the beginning" so to speak... For those of us who feel ourselves removed from something which happened so long ago Jesus clearly states in the Volumes that that moment in the Creation is relevant to all of us and that we all participate in it.

Therefore, you must know that, in creating Adam, all creatures were created in him; all were present to Us – none of them escaped Us; We loved all creatures as him, and in him. And when, with so much love, We formed his humanity, molding it and working it with Our creative hands, forming the bones, extending the nerves, covering them with flesh, forming all the harmonies of the human life, in Adam, all creatures were molded and worked. In all of them We formed the bones, extended the nerves; and covering them with flesh, We left the touch of Our creative hands, the mark of Our Love, the vivifying virtue of Our Will. And as We infused the soul in him with the power of Our omnipotent breath, souls were formed in all the bodies with the same power in which the soul of Adam was formed.
See, then, how each creature is a new creation, as if We had created the new Adam; because in each of them We want to renew the great prodigy of the creation, the installation of the center of Our Love, the carrying out of the Life of Our Fiat. So great was the excess of Our Love in creating man, that until the last creature comes on earth, We will remain in continuous act of creation, to give to each one what was given to the first man created – Our overflowing Love, the touch of Our creative hands for the formation of each of them. Therefore, my daughter, I recommend to you that you know how to recognize and preserve within yourself the installation of Our Love and the operating Life of Our Fiat; and you will feel the prodigies of the continuous creation, and Our Love overflowing, such that, as It drowns you with love, you will feel nothing but Love and Divine Will.”
Vol. 28, August 24, 1930

Just as in the Redemption where Jesus suffered and died one time but because he is Divine this is applied to each creature so that each can say he suffered and died for me so it is in the Creation as well.  Each creature is a new creation and each receives this breath of God and an act done by God lasts perpetually and will not turn back from it's intent.  All of Creation hinges upon God's breath which continually renews life for all things.

“This is the way God works: to do an act which lasts for centuries and centuries, and even for all eternity, because Our outpouring of love, [and] Our breath springs forth continuously from Our Divine Womb, and flows to give the breath of life to the generation of creatures.  Thus Our outpouring of love, hovering in all of creation, invests heaven and earth, sun and sea, wind and water, and runs towards the creature.  If it were not that way, the heavens would draw up, the stars would be lost, the sun would lack light, water would be lacking, and the earth would produce neither plants nor fruit because they would lack the life of Our love which hovers in all things; they would withdraw from Our source from which they come.  And if the generations ever came to lack Our Breath they would be finished, because creatures are nothing other than a spark which Our Breath sends to make the growing generations fruitful.

Vol. 21, April 24, 1927          



Each person is able to receive all the love and all the gifts which God granted Adam in that moment of Creation and all of it is as immersed and overflowing in love because God is love and his breath breathes forth love.  Each person is given God's whole life to the capacity to which each creature can contain.

“My blessed daughter, you should know that our Divine Being is none other than a substance all of love, so that as a consequence everything, inside and outside of us, everything is love, hence our breath is love and the air that we breathe is love....

And as I created man, I breathed on him with my breath, infusing life in him; but in this life I infused in him, I placed my whole Life, according to what human capacity was able to contain.  But I placed everything in him.  There was nothing of my own which I did not share with him.  See, even his breath is the reflection of my breath with which I give him continuous life; while his breath is reflected in mine, and I feel it continuously within Me. 

“See then, how many relations there are between Myself and the creature.  This is why I love him so much:  because I look at him as a birth from Me, exclusively mine.  And then, how did I ennoble the will of man?  I linked it with Mine, giving it all my prerogatives.  I made it free, just like Mine; and if to the body I had given two little lights, limited and circumscribed, which started from my Eternal Light, the human will I made all eyes.  Therefore, as many acts as the human will forms, so many eyes can it say it possesses.  It looks to the right, to the left, to the back and to the front; and if the human life is not animated by my Will, it will do nothing good.  In creating it, I said to it:  ‘You will be my sister on earth; my Will from Heaven will animate yours; we will be in continuous reflections, and whatever I will do, you will do as well - I, by nature, and you, by the grace of my continuous reflections.  I will follow you like a shadow.  I will never leave you.’

With this gift of the whole life of God man was also created so that there was complete love and trust between God and man with the bonds of intimate paternal familiarity.  This was broken with man's fall but God wants to renew this bond and he will do so with his Divine Breath just as he created him in the beginning.

“My daughter, this is precisely the reason why I often come to you, even to the point that it might appear strange to some and out of My usual way of dealing with a soul - because there is hardly another to whom I have come to so very often.  All [this] is to reorder My first act, of the way that I created the creature.  So I return to you and I tarry, more than a most loving father would with his daughter.  How many times have I filled you with My Breath to the point of [your] not being able to any longer contain My Omnipotent Exhalation?  I poured forth in you My repressed love, even to the point of filling your soul to the very brim.  All this was nothing other than the renewal of the solemn act of creation. I wanted to feel that great satisfaction as when I created man, and so I come to you not only to renew it, but to reorder the order, harmony, and love between Creator and creature, just in the way as he was created.  In the beginning of man’s creation there was no distance between him and Me, there was only familiarity; and he had only to call Me and I was there.  I loved him as a son, and as a son I felt myself so inclined toward him that I could not help but go and remain with him very often.  With you I am renewing the beginning of creation, so be attentive to receive such a great good.”

This Divine breath preserves and nourishes not only the soul of the creature but the body as well and when his last ordained breath finishes with the creature then her soul leaves for Heaven.

 And Jesus, to cheer me, placed Himself with His face in front of my chest, and as He breathed over me, a light came out of His breath, which served not only for my soul, but also to recompose my whole body.  As the breath would cease, my body would fall apart; and Jesus, to cheer me, said to me:  “My daughter, courage, don’t you see that the mere breath and light of my Will recomposes also your body?  So, if I stop my breath, your body will fall apart and you will immediately take the way to Our Celestial Fatherland.”

But only a soul living in the Divine Will has the capacity to receive this Divine Breath continuously and thereby form a complete and mature life.

“My good daughter, only my Volition maintains and conserves intact, with a continuous act, the beginning of the Creation of the creature.  Our Supreme Being gave the beginning and animated her life with the power of our divine breath; this breath should not ever be broken, more so that when we give and we do an act we never withdraw it, and this serves in order to form the completed work of the being that we put forth to the light.  This first act of ours, while it serves to give beginning and to form the life, the continuation, it serves in order to make of the creature a completed act of ours, and as we breathe (in) her thus we form in her our continuous acts in order to complete our divine life.  Our breath, as we give it, forms sip by sip the growth of this life of ours in the creature.  Our breath, as it gives itself, thus it forms our completed act of sanctity, of beauty, of love, of goodness and so on, and when we have filled her so much, in a way that we don’t have anywhere more to put our act in the creature, because she is limited, our breath ceases and her life finishes in earth, and in order to immortalize our breath in Heaven, we transport our fully grown life in her, our completed act, into our Celestial Country as triumph of our Creation.  There is no more beautiful rarity than these lives and completed acts of ours in the Celestial sojourn, they are the narrators of our power, of the enthusiasm of our love, they are speaking voices of our omnipotent breath, that alone could form the divine life, our completed act in the creature.  But do you know where we can form this life and this completed act of ours, for how much it is possible and imaginable for a creature to receive from her Creator?  [In] the soul that lives in our Divine Will and lets herself be dominated by Him.  Ah! only in her can we form the divine life and develop our completed act; our Volition disposes the creature to receive all the qualities and divine colors, and our breath not ever interrupted, as expert brush/(artist), paints with admirable and inimitable mastery the most beautiful tones and forms there the images of our Supreme Being; if it might not be for these images there would not have been that great work of the Creation, nor great work of the power of our creative hands, creating the Sun, the Sky, the stars and all the universe would have been a beautiful nothing for our power.  But instead all our power, the art of our divine arts, the indescribable excess of our intense love, it is to do our completed act in the creature with forming our life in her and so much is our gratification, that we ourselves remain enraptured in our act that we develop. For us to do a completed act it is the greatest glory that glorifies us most, it is the most intense love that praises us most, it is the power that praises us continually.  But alas! for one who doesn’t live in our Volition, how many broken acts of ours, without conclusion, how many divine lives of ours hardly conceived or at the most born without growing.  [Creatures] break the continuation of our work and bind our arms without being able to go ahead; they put us in the impotence of a master who holds his earth and is prevented by his ungrateful servants from doing the work that he wants to in his earth, to sow it, to plant the plants that he wants; poor proprietor, to hold sterile earth, without the fruit that he could receive, for reason of his iniquitous servants.  Our earths are creatures and the ungrateful servant is the human volition, which opposing ours with hers puts us in impotence from forming our divine life in them.  Now you should know that in Heaven one doesn’t enter if one doesn’t possess our divine life, or at least conceived or born, and such will be the glory, the beatitude of the blessed, for how much growth has been formed of our life in them.  Now what will be the difference for one who has hardly let him be conceived, be born or grown with little proportions, from one who has let us form complete life?  So much will be the difference, that it is incomprehensible to the human creature.  Those will be as the people of the Celestial kingdom, instead our images will be as princes, ministers, the noble court, the regal army of the great King.  Therefore one who does my Divine Will and lives in Him can say:  ‘I do all and I also belong from this earth to the family of my Celestial Father.’”
