Pride/Humility

The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's January 2, 2014 monthly message on the day for nonbelievers through Mirjana:

“Dear children; For you to be able to be my apostles and to be able to help all those who are in darkness, to come to know the light of the love of my Son, you must have pure and humble hearts. You can not help for my Son to be born in, and to reign in, the hearts of those who do not know Him, if He does not reign – if He is not the King – in your heart. I am with you. I am walking with you as a mother. I am knocking on your hearts. They can not open because they are not humble. I am praying, and you my beloved children also pray, that you may be able to open pure and humble hearts to my Son and to receive the gifts which He has promised you. Then you will be led by the love and strength of my Son. Then, you will be my apostles who everywhere around them spread the fruits of God’s love. My Son will act from within you and through you, because you will be “one”. My motherly heart yearns for this – for unity of all of my children – through my Son. With great love I bless, and pray for those who are chosen by my Son – for your shepherds. Thank you.”

At first Our Lady was sad and then decisive.

Medjugorje, messages




Everything begins with humility and so important is this virtue that without nothing else can pass to man from God.  In the Volumes Jesus speaks frequently about this virtue and it's importance.  Humility is a guard against sin and causes the soul to keep close to God and it equally keeps the devil far away.




He told me that because of lack of humility I had committed many sins, and that if I had been more humble, I would have kept closer to Him and I would not have done so much evil. 
Vol. 1, The soul is sorry for the sins it committed in the past, but Jesus does not want it to lose its time thinking about them.



In seeing you humble and resigned, all plunged into your nothingness, the devil will not have the power to get close. 

Vol. 1, The soul experiences that it cannot do anything without Jesus and that everything it does is all due to him.  Jesus, the true spiritual director, teaches the soul what to do in various situations.



Only with humility can God do with the soul as he wants.  Humility keeps defects away from the soul by keeping ones sight clear and it lightens the cross making it sweet.

“My daughter, humility is a flower without thorns, and because it is without thorns, it can be held in one’s hand, it can be clasped, it can be placed wherever one wants, without fear of being bothered or pricked.  Such is the humble soul.  One can say that she does not have the pricks of defects; and since she is without pricks, one can do with her whatever he wants.  Not having thorns, naturally she does not prick nor cause bother to others, because thorns are given by one who has them; but if one does not have them, how can he give them?

Not only this, but humility is a flower which strengthens and clears one’s sight; and with its clearness, it knows how to stay away from the thorns themselves.”

Vol. 6, February 24, 1905



...she humbles herself, she resigns herself, and the cross becomes light and brings her light and sweetness.
Vol. 9, November 20, 1909



Only with a humble soul does God have a place to put his light.  Humility creates the empty space, the void where light can exist.  And with the presence of light becomes communicated all of its graces and perfections.



The more the soul is empty and humble, the more the divine light fills her and communicates its graces and perfections to her.

As I was in my usual state, I saw little Baby Jesus with a fistful of light in His hand, and rays flowing out through His fingers.  I remained enchanted, and He told me:  “My daughter, perfection is light, and one who says he wants to reach it acts just like one who would want to clasp a body of light in his hand:  as he tries to clasp it, the light itself flows out through his fingers; except, his hand remains immersed in that light.  Now, the light is God, and God alone is perfect, and the soul who wants to be perfect does nothing but seize shadows - the little drops of God; and sometimes she does nothing but live in the light alone, that is, in the Truth.  And just as the light penetrates deeper and occupies more space the greater the void it finds, and the deeper the place is - in the same way, the more the soul is empty and humble, the more the divine light fills her and communicates Its graces and perfections to her.”

Vol. 6, December 22, 1904




Jesus will always and only work through, with and in humble souls.


²¹ At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
Luke 10:21



“Holy Father, glorify your Name; confuse the proud and hide Yourself from them, and manifest Yourself to the humble, because only one who is humble recognizes You as his Creator, and recognizes himself as your creature.” 
Vol. 4, March 9, 1903




But in truth we are not capable of true humility but only a knowledge of self.  Only Jesus can say that he is humble.  One must be something to be able to be humble.  We are nothing, just the potential to give the little space that we are to the work of God.

"I alone can say that I am humble, because in man, that which is said to be humility should rather be called knowledge of self; and one who does not know himself already walks in falsehood.” 

...

Here is the beautiful sister of the knowledge of self, which is humility.

Ah, yes, humility draws grace; humility breaks the strongest chains, which are sin.  Humility surmounts any wall of division between the soul and God, and brings her back to Him.  Humility is a little plant, but always green and flowery, not subject to being gnawed by worms; nor will winds, hail or heat be able to do harm to it, or make it wither, even slightly.  Though being the littlest plant, humility produces very high branches, which penetrate even into Heaven, braiding around the Heart of Our Lord; and only the branches which come from this plant have free access into that adorable Heart.  Humility is the anchor of peace during the storms of the sea waves of this life.  Humility is the salt which spices all virtues and preserves the soul from the corruption of sin.  Humility is the little grass which sprouts along the way treaded by wayfarers; while being treaded, it disappears, but soon one can see it sprout again, more beautiful than before.  Humility is like a gentle graft, which renders the wild plant gentle.  Humility is the sunset of guilt.  Humility is the newborn of grace.  Humility is like the moon, which guides us in the darkness of the night of this life.  Humility is like that shrewd merchant who knows well how to trade his riches, and wastes not even one cent of the grace that is given to him.  Humility is the key of the door of Heaven, such that no one can enter into It if he does not keep this key in good custody.  Finally – otherwise I would never end and I would be too long – humility is the smile of God and of all Heaven, and it is the crying of all hell.

Vol. 3, January 12, 1900



And a sign of true humility is true charity that esteem others and searches out the good in everyone and every situation.



“Lack of esteem for others is lack of true Christian humility and of sweetness, because a humble and sweet spirit knows how to respect everyone and interprets the things of others always for the good.” 
Vol. 3, June 3, 1900




 This calls for the wisdom of Heaven.  To believe oneself to be something before men on this earth is to be nothing before God.  More so he states such a one is abominable to him.  Jesus will not work with the proud and has never done so.

After this, I saw people who believed themselves to be something greater than others; and blessed Jesus said:  “My daughter, one who believes himself to be something before Me and before men, is worth nothing.  One who believes himself to be nothing is worth everything – first, before Me, because if he does something, he does not think he does it because he can do it, having the strength and the capacity, but rather, because he receives from God the grace, the helps and the lights; therefore it can be said that he does it by virtue of divine power, and one who has divine power with him is already worth everything.  Second, before men, because this acting by virtue of divine power makes him operate in a completely different way, and he does nothing but send forth the light of the divine power he contains within himself, in such a way that the most perverted ones, without wanting it, feel the strength of this light and submit to his volition; and here is how he is worth everything also before men.  On the contrary, one who believes himself to be something, in addition to being worth nothing, is abominable to my presence, and because of his ostentatious and particular manners - for he believes he is something and makes fun of others - men keep him pointed out as an object of derision and of persecution.”

Vol. 4, Dec. 24, 1902

“I communicate Myself both to the humble and to the simple, because they immediately believe in my graces and take them into great consideration, though they may be ignorant and poor.  But with these others you see, I am very reluctant, because the first step which draws the soul near Me is belief; and it happens that these, with all of their science and doctrine, and even holiness, never come to experience a ray of celestial light – that is, they walk along the natural way, and they never arrive at touching, even slightly, that which is supernatural.  This is also the reason for which in the course of my mortal life there was not one learned, one priest, one man of power, among my followers, but all ignorant and of low condition – because these were more humble and simple, and also more disposed to make great sacrifices for Me.” 

Vol. 2,  May 19, 1899 



Gods Will is a decree which can not be stopped and will not be resisted.  Although those learned and in authority might try to bury God's truth to block his Kingdom it is only a matter of time.  Where one might refuse God will search out and dispose others who are more simple and humble to serve him.

...it is a decree of the Divinity that the Kingdom of my Divine Will be known; and when We decree there is no human power that can resist Us; at the most, it will be a matter of time. And in spite of the oppositions and adverse judgments of these authoritative people, I will make my way; and if these, with their judgments, want to bury a good so great and so many Divine Lives of my truths, I will put them aside and will make my way, disposing other people, more humble and simple, and who more easily believe in my admirable and multiple ways which I use with souls. And with their simplicity, instead of finding quibbles and difficulties, they will recognize, as gift of Heaven, what I have manifested on my Divine Will; and these will serve Me in an admirable way to propagate in the world the knowledges about my Fiat.

Vol. 28, July 9, 1930



Mary states that only a humble soul can open their heart to Jesus and that this is the starting point to unity with her son so that he might be able to act.

"My Son will act from within you and through you, because you will be “one”. My motherly heart yearns for this – for unity of all of my children – through my Son."
(See top entry)



It is only in this unity, this living in the Divine Will that God can act within and through the creature and where there is unity there can be no disparity.  God puts his love into action doubling it, multiplying it as much as he will until the creature loves with his own love, an equal love.  So that the little humble creature who recognizes her nothing through the grace of God become all, in the reflection of the All.

God loves himself in the creature, everything is his, hence there is no wonder that he puts in field his always new love, doubles it, hundred folds it how much he wants, and he gives grace to her to make her love with his same love, if this were not so, one would see great disparity between who can love and between who can not love, and the poor creature would remain humble, annihilated, without rush and union of love with her Creator, and when two beings can not love with equal love, the inequality indeed produces unhappiness, while our Will is Unity and freely gives his love to the creature in order to make her love, he gives his sanctity in order to make her holy, his wisdom in order to make her know, there is nothing that he possesses that he would not give her. 

Vol. 34, January 5, 1936




God's love is so much for his creature, his children that when he can not conquer by way of love and grace he strikes with the cross.  Because it is only with the cross that God can bring the creature to the point of humility where he can then act.  And even in this point of last resort he entrusts souls to the hands of his Mother and when she holds them securely they can not be lost.

“My daughter courage, everything will serve to the triumph of my Will, if I strike it is because I want to restore health, my love is so much, that when I can not conquer by way of love and graces, I seek to conquer by way of terror and fright, human weakness is so much that many times she doesn’t care for my graces, she is deaf to my voices, laughs at my love, but it is enough to touch (her) skin, to take away the necessary things to natural life, that she abases her arrogance, feels so humiliated that she makes herself a rag, and I do that which I want with her, especially if they don’t have a perfidious and obstinate will, it is enough one chastisement, to see herself on the edge of the sepulcher, that they return in my arms.  You should know that I always love my children, my beloved creatures, I would eviscerate Myself in order not to see them stricken, so much so that in the deadly times to come, I have put them all in the hands of my Celestial Mama, to Her I have entrusted them, so that she holds them for Me under her secure mantle, I will give (to Her) all those that She will want, death itself won’t have power over those that will be in (the) custody of my Mama.”

Vol. 33, June 6, 1935  
 

New Year gifts

There are two entries in the Volumes that mention the New Year.  Both mention gifts.  The first one is a gift Luisa wants to make to Jesus while the second is a gift Jesus makes to Luisa.  Luisa offers Jesus her will so that hers might end with the old year and his would have life in her.  Jesus goes on to tell her how so much of his life were examples and similes of how he wanted the human will to end, to return to it's origin.  He states that he gave us all these example throughout his life so that we too might follow him in calling his Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Divine Will in our every act.

My state continues in the flight of the light of the Divine Will, and I was praying the pretty little Baby that, just as the old year was dying never to be born again, so He would make my will die and live no more; and as present for the new year, He would give me His Will, just as I gave Him the gift of mine, so as to place it as footstool at His tender little feet, that it might have no other life but His Will alone.  Now, while I was saying this and other things, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and told me:  “Daughter of my Will, how I love, want - yearn that your will may end in you.  Oh, how I accept your present!  How pleasing it will be for Me to keep it as soft footstool at my feet.  In fact, as long as it remains in the creature, outside of its center which is God, the human will is hard; but when it enters again into the center from which it came, serving as footstool at the feet of your little Baby Jesus, it becomes soft, and I use it to amuse Myself.  Is it not right that, little as I am, I have an amusement?  And that in the midst of so many sorrows, privations and tears, I have your will to make Me smile? 

Now, you must know that one who puts an end to her will, returns into the origin from which she came, and the new life, the life of light, the perennial life of my Will, begins in her.  See, when I came upon earth, I wanted to give many examples and similes of how I wanted the human will to end.  I wanted to be born at midnight, so as to break the night of the human will with the refulgent day of Mine.  And even though at midnight the night continues, it does not finish, it is yet the beginning of a new day; and my Angels, to give honor to my birth and to point out to everyone the day of my Will, from midnight on, gladdened the vault of the heavens with new stars and new suns, such as to turn the night into more than daylight.  This was the homage that the Angels gave to my little Humanity, in which resided the full day of the Sun of my Divine Will, and the calling of the creature into the full day of It.  Still little, I submitted Myself to the so very cruel cut of circumcision, which made Me shed bitter tears for the pain – and not only Me, but with Me cried my Mama and dear St. Joseph.  It was the cut of the human will that I wanted to make, so that creatures might let the Divine Will flow within that cut, and so that a broken will might have life no more - but only Mine, which had run within that cut in order to begin Its life again. 

Still little, I wanted to flee to Egypt.  A tyrannical and iniquitous will wanted to kill Me – symbol of the human will which wants to kill Mine; and I fled, in order to say to all:  ‘Flee the human will, if you do not want Mine to be killed.’  My whole life was nothing other than the calling of the Divine Will into the human.  In Egypt I lived like a stranger in the midst of that people – symbol of my Will, which they keep as though estranged within their midst; and symbolizing that whoever wants to live in peace and united with my Will, must live as though estranged from the human will.  Otherwise, there will always be war between the two of them - they are two irreconcilable wills. 

After my exile, I returned to my fatherland – symbol of my Will which, after Its long exile of centuries upon centuries, will return to Its dear fatherland, into the midst of Its children in order to reign.  And as I went through these stages in my life, I kept forming Its Kingdom in Me, and I called It with incessant prayers, with pains and with tears, to come to reign in the midst of creatures.  I returned to my fatherland and I lived hidden and unknown.  Oh! how this symbolizes the sorrow of my Will which, while living in the midst of the peoples, lives unknown and hidden.  And with my hiddenness, I impetrated that the Supreme Will be known, that It might receive the homage and the glory which are due to It.  There was nothing I did which did not symbolize a sorrow of my Will, the condition in which creatures put It, and a call I made in order to return Its Kingdom to It.  And this is what I want your life to be:  the continuous calling of the Kingdom of my Will into the midst of creatures.”

Vol. 20, Jan. 1, 1927




In this following passage, which was written well before the first.  Jesus also show how he likes to give presents on the New Year.  A hint of things to come, a ring that he has prepared to give Luisa when he will "espouse" her.  Even though it is to Luisa that he is speaking he holds all these gifts prepared for us as well, for the time when we too might be ready to receive them.

“Come, come to Me.  Today is the New Year, I want to give you a present.”  (That morning was precisely the first day of the year).  So, He drew His most pure lips to mine and poured a most sweet milk; He kissed me, He took a ring from within His side and said to me:  “Today I want to show you the ring I have prepared for you, for when I espouse you.” 

Vol. 1,   Luisa resists Jesus when he wants her to suffer, because the confessor’s consent is lacking.  Finally, Jesus imposes himself, communicating the state of suffering to her; and as proof to the confessor that this is his Will, he announces the outcome of the war between Italy and Africa.


Happy New Year.

Living Hosts; Complete Glory

⁵ And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ⁶ Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.
Revelation 21:5-6



God makes all things new while maintaining that which he has established as well.  Each step supports the other.

          “My daughter, all of my works hold hands, and this is the sign that they are my works – that one does not oppose the other; on the contrary, they are so bound among themselves, that they sustain one another. This is so true that, having to form my chosen people, from which and within which the future Messiah was to be born, from that same people I formed the priesthood, which instructed the people and prepared them for the great good of Redemption. I gave them laws, manifestations and inspirations, upon which the Sacred Scriptures were formed, called the Bible; and all were intent on the study of It. Then, with my coming upon earth, I did not destroy Sacred Scriptures; on the contrary, I supported them; and my Gospel, which I announced, opposed them in nothing; on the contrary, they sustained each other in a admirable way. And in forming the new nascent Church, I formed the new priesthood, which does not detach itself either from Sacred Scriptures or from the Gospel. All are intent upon them in order to instruct the peoples; and it can be said that anyone who did not want to draw from this salutary fount does not belong to Me, because these are the basis of my Church and the very life with which the peoples are formed.

           Now, that which I manifest on my Divine Will, and which you write, can be called ‘the Gospel of the Kingdom of the Divine Will’. In nothing does It oppose either Sacred Scriptures or the Gospel which I announced while being on earth; on the contrary, It can be called the support of one and of the other. And this is why I allow and I call priests to come – to read the Gospel, all of Heaven, of the Kingdom of my Divine Fiat, so as to say, as I said to the Apostles: ‘Preach It throughout the whole world.’ In fact, in my works I make use of the priesthood; and just as I had the priesthood before my coming in order to prepare the people, and the priesthood of my Church in order to confirm my coming and everything I did and said, so will I have the priesthood of the Kingdom of my Will. Here is the utility of the many things I have manifested to you, the many surprising truths, the promises of the so many goods which I must give to the children of the Fiat Voluntas Tua: they will be the Gospel, the basis, the inexhaustible fount from which all will draw the celestial life, the terrestrial happiness and the restoration of their creation. Oh! how happy they will feel – those who, with yearning, will drink in large gulps from these founts of my knowledges; because they contain the virtue of bringing the life of Heaven, and of banishing any unhappiness. 

Vol. 23, Jan. 18, 1928




There is a lot of debate by many people about whether or not women should be able to be priests.  It was in the writings on the Divine Will that I've discovered that this is pointless.  There is something greater than the priesthood available and Jesus is renewing everything again and is bringing about the new priesthood.  The gift of living in the Divine Will surpasses the priesthood and is open to all.

“My daughter, all other sanctities are not exempt from waste of time and from personal interest.  As for example, a soul who lives attentive to obedience in everything:  there is much waste of time; her saying and re-saying continuously, distracts her from Me, and she mistakes the virtue for Me; and if she does not have the opportunity to take all the orders, she lives restless.  Another one suffers temptations – oh! how much waste of time.  She never tires of telling all her trials, and she mistakes the virtue of suffering for Me; and many times these sanctities end up in ruin.  But the sanctity of living in my Will is exempt from personal interest, from waste of time; there is no danger that they might mistake the virtue for Me, because I Myself am the living in my Will. 

“This was the sanctity of my Humanity on earth, and therefore It did everything, and for everyone, without a shadow of interest.  Self-interest takes away the mark of divine sanctity, therefore it can never be sun; at the most, as beautiful as it is, it can be a star.  This is why I want the sanctity of living in my Will in these times so sad - this generation needs these suns, which may warm it, illuminate it, fecundate it.  The disinterest of these terrestrial angels, all for the good of others, without a shadow of their own self, will open the way in their hearts to receive my grace. 

“And then, churches are few and many will be destroyed; many times I find no priests who may consecrate Me; other times they allow unworthy souls to receive Me, and worthy souls not to receive Me; others are unable to receive Me; so, my love finds itself hindered.  This is why I want to make the sanctity of living in my Will; in them, I will have no need of priests for Me to be consecrated, nor churches, tabernacles or hosts; but they will be everything together:  priests, churches, tabernacles and hosts.  My love will be more free; anytime I want to consecrate Myself, I will be able to do it - in every moment, day and night, in whatever place they might be.  Oh! how my love will have its complete outpouring.  Ah! my daughter, the present generation deserved to be destroyed completely; and if I will allow a little something to be left of it, it is to form these suns of the sanctity of living in my Will, who, on my example, will repay Me for all that other creatures, past, present and future, owed Me.  Then will the earth give Me true glory, and my ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven’ will have its completion and fulfillment.”

Vol. 12, Nov. 27, 1917





Jesus tells Luisa that his Will contains all the Sacraments and all their effects and even though she was at times being denied by certain priests the right to receive the Sacraments administered by them, in his Will she would still receive them.  Furthermore Jesus goes on to tell Luisa that with living in the Divine Will she can form hosts and consecrate them.  Yes, I did just say that.  A soul living in the Divine Will can consecrate and that is any soul, not just men.  Of course the truth is that it is Jesus living in the soul that consecrates, the soul provides the material accidents of the acts while the Divine Will consecrates them.

“My daughter, you too can form hosts and consecrate them.  Do you see the garment that covers Me in the Sacrament?  These are the accidents of the bread with which the host is formed.  The life which exists in this host is my Body, my Blood and my Divinity.  The attitude which contains this life is my Supreme Will, and this Will carries out the love, the reparation, the immolation, and all the rest that I do in the Sacrament, which never moves one point from my Volition.  There is nothing that comes from Me which is not led by my Volition.

“Here is how you too can form the host.  The host is material and totally human; you too have a material body and a human will.  This body and this will of yours - if you keep them pure, upright and far away from any shadow of sin - are the accidents, the veils, so that I may be able to consecrate Myself and live hidden within you.  But this is not enough; it would be like the host without consecration - my life is needed.  My life is composed of sanctity, of love, of wisdom, of power, etc., but the engine of all is my Will.  Therefore, after you have prepared the host, you must make your will die in this host; you must cook it well, so that it may not be born again.  Then you must let my Will permeate all your being; and my Will, which contains the whole of my life, will form the true and perfect consecration.  So, the human thought will have life no more, but only the thought of my Volition, and this consecration will create my wisdom in your mind; no more life for what is human, for weakness, for inconstancy, because my Will will form the consecration of the Divine Life, of fortitude, of firmness, and of all that I am.  So, each time you make your will, your desires, and all that you are and that you may do, flow into my Will, I will renew the consecration, and I will continue my life within you as in a living host - not a dead one, like the hosts without Me. 

“But this is not all.  In the consecrated hosts, in the pyxes, in the Tabernacles, everything is dead - mute; not a heartbeat sensibly, not a surge of love which may correspond to so much love of mine.  If it wasn’t for the fact that I wait for hearts in order to give Myself to them, I would be quite unhappy, I would remain defrauded in my love, and my sacramental life would remain without purpose.  And if I tolerate this in the Tabernacles, I would not tolerate it in living hosts.  So, life needs nourishment, and in the Sacrament I want to be nourished, and I want to be nourished with my own food – that is, the soul will make my Will, my love, my prayers, reparations and sacrifices her own; she will give them to Me as if they were her own things, and I will nourish Myself.  The soul will unite with Me, she will prick up her ears to hear what I am doing so as to do it together with Me; and as she keeps repeating my own acts, she will give Me her food, and I will be happy.  Only in these living hosts will I find the compensation for the loneliness, the starvation, and all that I suffer in the Tabernacles.”

Vol. 11, Dec. 17, 1914




The key to all this is the Divine Will.  It is the Divine Will which has ordained the Sacraments and they take their life from him, and it is the Divine Will which wants the creature to have life in him, with him and through him.  This is the completion of the work of the Eucharist.  The Divine Life which has humbled himself to serve the creature by descending in the lowly host now takes his place in the living host of the creature and elevates her to him.  And the circle completes itself from the transubstantiation of the non-living host to the transubstantiation of the living host.  The creature does nothing but say yes and allow the Divine Will to work through, with and in her and in all her acts and she becomes a living host to the real and living presence of the Divine Will. 

It happens with the soul as with the accidents of the host which, though being matter, lends itself to let itself be animated by my sacramental life, as long as those same words spoken by Me in instituting the Most Holy Sacrament are pronounced by the priest. Those were words animated by my Fiat, which contained the creative power, and this is why the matter of the host undergoes the transubstantiation of the divine life. One can pronounce as many words as one wants over the host, but if they are not those few words established by the Fiat, my life remains in Heaven and the host remains the wretched matter that it is. So it happens with the soul: she can do, say, suffer whatever she wants, but if my Divine Fiat does not run inside of them, those are always finite and wretched things. On the other hand, for one who lives in It, her words, her works, her pains, are like veils that hide the Creator, and the One who created heaven and earth makes use of these veils and makes of them works worthy of Himself, placing in them His sanctity, His creative power, His infinite love. Therefore, no one else, though he might do great things, can compare to that creature in whom my Divine Will lives, reigns and dominates.
Vol. 23, Oct. 2, 1927

Jesus wants to be nourished just as he nourishes us.  Jesus wants a two way street that as he feeds the soul he also wants to be fed.  And it is only because of this aspiration that he has tolerated the centuries of isolation in the Tabernacles and lifeless hosts of the wafers.  He wants living hosts that can respond to him.  Such a soul however, although containing Jesus himself, will not show anything on outside which one would notice.  They will be the most hidden souls whom appear to do nothing and yet they do all.  We become the host in living in the Divine Will, the living host, which hides the real and living presence of Jesus.

Now, while I was pouring out my pain with Jesus, He made Himself seen in my interior, and the sacramental veils formed as though a mirror, and Jesus was inside of it - alive and real. And my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, this mirror is the accidents of the bread which keep Me imprisoned within them. I form my Life in the host, but the host does not give Me anything - not one affection, not a heartbeat, not the littlest ‘I love you.’ It is as though dead for Me. I remain alone, without a shadow of requital, and therefore my love is almost impatient to go out, to shatter this glass, descending into hearts in order to find in them that requital which the host does not know how to give Me, nor can it do so. But do you know where I find my true requital? In the soul who lives in my Will. As I descend into her heart, immediately I consume the accidents of the host, because I know that more noble accidents, more dear to Me, are ready to imprison Me, so as not to let Me go out of that heart, which will give Me, not only life within itself – but life for life. I will not be alone, but with my most faithful company. We will be two hearts palpitating together, we will love united, our desires will be one. So, I remain in her, and there I live Life, alive and real, just as I do in the Most Holy Sacrament. But do you know what these accidents are, which I find in the soul who does my Will? They are her acts done in my Volition which, more than accidents, lay themselves around Me and imprison Me, but inside a noble and divine prison, not a dark one, because her acts done in my Will, more than sun, illuminate her and warm her. Oh! how happy I feel to form my real Life in her, because I feel as if I were inside my Celestial Royal Palace. Look at Me inside your heart - how happy I am, how I delight and feel the purest joys.”

“It seems that the souls who do my Will do nothing, while they do everything, because, being in my Will, they act in a divine manner, in a hidden and surprising way.  So, they are light that illuminates, they are winds that purify, they are fire that burns, they are miracles that make others do miracles.  Those who do miracles are channels; but in these souls resides the power.  Therefore, they are the foot of the missionary, the tongue of the preachers, the strength of the weak, the patience of the sick, the regime of the superiors, the obedience of the subjects, the tolerance of the slandered, the firmness in dangers, the heroism of the heroes, the courage of the martyrs, the sanctity in the saints, and so with all the rest.  Being in my Will, they concur with all the good that can exist both in Heaven and on earth.

“This is why I can surely say that they are my true hosts - but living hosts, not dead ones.  In fact, the accidents that form the host are not full of life, nor do they influence my life; but the soul is full of life, and by doing my Will, she influences and concurs with all that I do.  This is why these hosts consecrated by my Will are more dear to Me than the very sacramental hosts, and if I have reason to exist in the sacramental hosts, it is to form the sacramental hosts of my Will.

“My daughter, I take such delight in my Will, that in simply hearing one speak about It, I feel overjoyed and I call the whole of Heaven to make feast.  Imagine, yourself, what will become of those souls who do It: in them I find all the contentments, and to them I give all the contentments; their life is the life of the Blessed.  Two things only do they cherish, desire and yearn:  my Will and Love.  They have little to do, while indeed they do everything.  The virtues themselves remain absorbed in my Will and in Love, and so they have nothing to do with them any more, since my Will contains, possesses and absorbs everything - but in a way which is divine, immense and endless.  This is the life of the Blessed.”

Jesus affirms that the soul living in the Divine Will with possessing the Divine Will they posses the source of all the Sacraments.  She can multiply these as much as she wants for as many as she wants in every moment.  She possesses the source of the Sacraments and in continuing to receive them from the Church she completes them and glorifies her God.

 

Offering of Communion. How our wills are the accidents in which Jesus is multiplied. How the soul who lives in the Divine Will contains the source of all the Sacraments.

           I was doing my thanksgiving for I had received Holy Communion, and I was thinking to myself that I wanted to offer It to all and to each inhabitant of Heaven, to each soul in Purgatory, to all the living who are and will be. And not only to them, but I would like to give my Sacramental Jesus to the starry heavens, to the flowery fields – in sum, to each created thing, in order to give Him the glory and the triumph of all His works. But while I was saying this, I thought to myself: ‘This is my usual nonsense – how can I form so many Jesuses? This is impossible.’ And my beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, just as in the sacramental host there are the little accidents of the bread, and your Jesus hides inside of them, alive and real – and as many Jesuses for as many as are the hosts - in the same way, in the soul there are the accidents of the human will, not subject to being consumed like the accidents of my Sacramental Life, and therefore more fortunate and more solid. And just as the Eucharistic Life multiplies in the hosts, so does my Divine Will multiply my Life in each act of the human will, which, more than accident, lends itself to the multiplication of my Life. As you were making your will flow within Mine and wanted to give Me to each one, so was my Will forming my Life in yours, and from Its light It released my Life, giving Me to each one, and – oh! how happy I felt that the little daughter of my Will was forming so many of my Lives in the accidents of her will, to give Me not only to animate creatures, but to all things created by Me. So, as I was multiplying my Life, I felt I was constituting Myself the King of all: King of the sun, of the sea, King of the flowers, of the stars, of the heavens – in sum, of everything. My daughter, one who lives in my Will possesses within herself the fount of the source of the Sacraments, and can multiply Me as much as she wants and in whatever way she wants.”
           Afterwards, I remained doubtful about the last sentence written here above, and my beloved Jesus added: “My daughter, the Sacraments came out of my Will like many little fountains; I issued them from It, keeping in It the source from which each of these fountains continuously receives the goods and the fruits which each of them contains. But they act according to the dispositions of those who receive them; so, because of lack of dispositions on the part of creatures, the fountains of the Sacraments do not produce the great goods they contain. Many times they pour waters, but the creatures are not washed; other times they consecrate them, impressing a divine and indelible character, but in spite of this they do not appear to be sanctified. Another fountain gives birth to the Life of your Jesus continuously; they receive this Life, but neither the effects of it nor the Life of your Jesus can be seen in them. So, each Sacrament has Its sorrow, because they do not see their fruits and the goods they contain in all creatures.
           Now, for one who lives in my Will, letting It reign as in Its own Kingdom, since my Divine Will possesses the source of the Sacrament, what is the wonder if one who lives in It possesses the source of all the Sacraments and feels within herself the nature of the Sacraments with all the effects and goods they contain? And as she receives them from the Church, she will feel that it is food which she possesses, but which she takes in order to give complete glory to those Sacraments, whose source she possesses, and to glorify that very Divine Will that instituted them, because in It alone there will be perfect glory for all Our works. This is why I so much long for the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat – because It alone will give balance to everything; It will give to creatures all the goods It wants, and will receive the glory which they owe It.”

There is no greater gift that God can give man than the gift of living in the Divine Will and Jesus states that the miracle of containing his Divine Will within the confines of his Humanity surpassed all his other miracles.  We too are now being given the chance to have the Divine Will living and acting in each of us.  All we have to do is give our own firm "Fiat", and then we too will have our own real and living presence of Jesus born within each of us.  And I can think of no greater gift that I could ever want on this Christmas day.

           “You can see that, of all that which occurred within My Humanity the greatest miracle was containing the whole immensity of My Divine Will within it (My Humanity).  The miracles which I did may be called nothing in front of this one, and even more so since it was natural in Me to be able to give life so that they (creatures) could be resurrected - to give sight to the blind, speech to those who could not speak, and all the rest of the miraculous works I accomplished -because it was in My nature to give as many goods as I wanted.  It was certainly a miracle for those who received these goods, but for Me the greatest miracle was to constrain in Myself My Divinity, the immensity of My Will, Its interminable light, Its beauty and unreachable sanctity.  This was the prodigy of prodigies that only a God could do.  Therefore, no matter how much I can give to a creature, it will always be giving little as compared to My giving the great gift of My Will, because in It there will be seen new heavens, more resplendent suns, unheard - of things, and surprises never before seen.  Heavens and earth tremble and kneel before a soul who possesses the great gift of my Will, and with reason, because they see come forth from the soul the virtue and the vivifying and creative force which conserves them in the new life created by God.  Oh Power of My Will, if they knew You how ambitious they would be for your great Gift.  How they would give their life to have You!”
