How the Divine Will is primary heartbeat of the soul and of all created things.
I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, how beautiful it is to see a soul fuse herself in my Will! As she fuses herself in It, the created heartbeat takes its place and life in the uncreated heartbeat, and forms a single one, and it runs and beats together with the uncreated heartbeat. This is the greatest happiness for the human heart: to palpitate in the eternal heartbeat of its Creator. My Will puts it in flight, and the human heartbeat flings itself into the center of its Creator.”
Then I said to Him: “Tell me, my Love, how many times does your Volition go around within all creatures?‟
And Jesus: “My daughter, in each heartbeat of creature my Will forms Its complete round in all Creation; and just as the heartbeat in the creature is continuous, and if the heartbeat ceases life ceases, in the same way, my Will, more than heartbeat, in order to give divine life to creatures, goes around and forms the heartbeat of my Will in each heart. See, then, how my Will is present in each creature: as primary heartbeat, because hers is secondary; even more, if she feels her heartbeat, it is by virtue of the heartbeat of my Will.
Even more, this Will of Mine forms in her two heartbeats: one for the human heart, as life of the body, and one for the soul, as heartbeat and life of the soul. But do you want to know what this heartbeat of my Will does in the creature? If she thinks, my Will runs and circulates like blood in the veins of the soul, and gives her the divine thought, that she may put aside the human thought and give place to the thought of my Will. If she speaks, the word of my Will wants Its place. If she operates, if she walks, if she loves, my Will wants the place of her work, of her step, of her love.
The love and the jealousy of my Will in the creature is so great that, while It palpitates, if the creature wants to think, It makes Itself thought; if she wants to look, It makes Itself eye; if she wants to speak, It makes Itself word; if she wants to operate, It makes Itself work; if she wants to walk, It makes Itself foot; if she wants to love, It makes Itself fire. In sum, It runs and goes around within each act of the creature in order to take Its primary place, which is due to It.
But to Our greatest sorrow, the creature denies It this place of honor, and gives the place to her own human will; and my Will is forced to remain in the creature as if It had no thought, no eye, no word, no hands, no feet, without being able to carry out the life of my Will in the center of the soul of the creature. What sorrow! What highest ingratitude!
But do you want to know who gives Me free field and lets my Will operate as heartbeat of life within her soul? One who lives in my Will. Oh! how well does my Will carry out Its life and constitutes Itself thought of her thought, eye of her eye, word of her mouth, heartbeat of her heart, and so with all the rest. Oh! how quickly we understand each other; and my Will obtains the intent of forming Its life in the soul of the creature!

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Jesus, I take possession of the divine motion and I run everywhere to find all that Your Humanity – like a fierce army – did: Your tears, Your words, Your prayers, Your steps, Your pains; I take, I kiss, and I adore – everything. There is nothing You did that I do not invest with my love. I make everything my own, and, I lock all things up inside my womb. Then I rise high and I come before Your Divinity, and I place these things all around You, and with emphasis of love I say:
“Adorable Majesty, how many beautiful things I am bringing to You. All are mine and I bring You all, because all love You, adore You, glorify You, and return to You the great love that You have for me and for all.‟
