BOH VOL 24 Mar. 19, 1928
“My daughter, the world is as though burned – there is no one who pours upon them the pure water that can quench their thirst; and if they drink at all, it is the turbid water of their will, which burns them even more.
Even the good – the children of my Church who try to do good – after doing good do not feel the happiness of that good, but rather, the weight of the good which brings them sadness and tiredness.
Do you know why? Because in that very good the life of my Fiat is missing, which contains the divine strength that takes any tiredness away; the light and the heat of my Will are missing, which have the virtue of emptying any weight and of sweetening all bitternesses;
The beneficial dew of my Fiat is missing, which pearls the actions of creatures, and makes them appear so beautiful as to bring them the life of happiness; the ever springing water of my Will is missing, which, while fecundating in a divine manner, gives life and quenches their thirst. This is why they drink, but they burn more.
See then, how necessary it is that Its knowledges be known and make their way into the midst of creatures, so as to offer to each one the life of my Will, with the fount of the goods It contains.”
