FEB 8: “We should never get discouraged or lose peace, when we are not answered immediately.”

I felt oppressed because of the privations of my sweet Jesus – piercing nail, which no one can remove or soothe, to give a little relief to such a great martyrdom. Only His return, His lovable presence, can destroy, as if by magic, the nail and the pain, and it makes the purest joys arise, which only Jesus knows how to give with His lovable presence.
So, I did nothing but abandon myself in the arms of the Divine Will, praying It to unveil for me the One whom I so much longed for. And while I was doing this, my lovable Jesus, like flash, lightened my poor soul and told me:
“Good daughter, courage, you oppress yourself too much; and your oppression causes you to reduce yourself to the extremes, and casts you into the sad doubt that your Jesus does not love you and that maybe He will no longer come to you. No, no, I do not want this doubt. Oppressions, doubts, fears, are wounds to my Love and debilitate your love for Me, depriving you of the surge and the flight to run always toward Me in order to love Me. And once the continuous current of love toward Me is broken, you remain like a poor infirm one, and I no longer find the powerful magnet of your continuous love that draws Me to you.
Now, you must know how all the acts of my Divine Will, which are innumerable, reduce themselves all to one single point and act. This is the greatest marvel of Our Supreme Being – to form, to possess, to see all possible and imaginable acts in one single act. In the same way, all the acts done by the creature in Our Will reduce themselves to one single act.
Now, in order to have the virtue of enclosing all acts within one single act, she must form and possess within herself the continuous love, my perennial Will, which will give origin to all the acts and will make them start from within the virtue of one single act.
See, then, all the acts you have done in my Will have unified together in one single act, and they form your cortege, your support, your strength, your light that never goes off; and they love you so much that, making themselves arms, they keep you as the dear apple of my Fiat’s eye, because in It were they formed and received life.
Therefore, do not oppress yourself; enjoy the fruits of my Volition, and if you see that I delay my coming, wait for Me with patient love, and when you least expect it, I will surprise you and will make my usual little visit, and I will be happy to find you in my own Will, always in act of loving Me.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY:*
“My Jesus, may my little existence revolve always in the Holy Divine Volition, to draw me more and more to Itself, so that each of Its words, light or knowledge of It, will be a new life that It infuses in me, giving me an unusual joy that I experience, and a happiness without end, such that, unable to contain it because I am too small, my heart will burst with joy and with divine happiness.
Oh! Divine Will, make Yourself known, possessed and loved, so that all may be happy – but of celestial happiness, not terrestrial.”
