Little Daughter of the Divine Will

6/9 Feast Day of St. Ephrem of Syria

c. 306 – June 9, 373

Our Lord:  “…On the other hand, when the acts are continued, each act has its exercise – one makes itself food, one water, one fire in order to cook them, one condiment to make itself be enjoyed, in such a way as to whet the appetite.  In sum, the repeated acts are nothing other than Divine Cousine, forming the Celestial Dining for the creature.  And, O! how Beautiful it is to see the creature who, with the continuation of her acts in Our Fiat, prepares for herself Divine Nourishments, and feeds herself with the Foods of her Celestial Fatherland.  In fact, You Must Know that one Holy Thought calls for another, one Word, one Good Act, calls for another; and one serves the other in order to be Nourished – and Nourishment forms Life.”

St. Ephrem wrote hymns against the heretics of his day. He would take the popular songs of the heretical groups and using their melodies, compose beautiful hymns embodying orthodox doctrine. St. Ephrem became one of the first to introduce song into the Church’s public worship as a means of instruction for the faithful. His many hymns have earned him the title “Harp of the Holy Spirit.”

St. Ephrem preferred a simple, austere life, living in a small cave overlooking the city of Edessa. It was here that he died around 373.

Book of Heaven; Volume 34 – April 21, 1936

“Blessed daughter of my Volition, you have reason, the waves of my Volition inundate you, drown you and your little capacity remains lost and needs your Jesus in order to better explain that which you see, but don’t know how to say.  Now know my daughter, our love is such and so much for one who wants to live and lives in our Divine Volition that we want to make them participant with all our works, for as much as (a) creature it is possible, also giving her the merit of our divine works.  As the creature enters in our Will, He calls in act his Divine work as if in that instant the same (was) operating, and uniting her in his act, he makes her see the prodigies of his work, and receives and confirms her in the good, making her feel the new life of his act; you have seen the conception of the Sovereign Queen, and how you being in my Will, you have found yourself conceived in her Maternal Heart, you see the great difference for who lives in my Volition, the prodigies of the Immaculate Conception were unheard of.  My Will that animated this conception, which no one can escape from, called present all creatures, so that they might remain conceived in her virgin Heart, and might receive her maternity, her help, her defense, they might find the refuge, the support in this Celestial Mother.

Volume 19; June 26, 1926
Jesus:  “She (Blessed Mother) let not one act escape Her that creatures Owed their Creator; and enclosing all in Her Maternal Heart, She Loved all and each one in a Universal Way.  So, in Her We Found All Our Glory – She denied nothing to Us; She gave Us not only that which She was supposed to Give Us Directly, but also that which the other creatures denied to Us.  And to Act as a Magnanimous and Most Loving Mother, Who Pours Her Own Self Out For Her children, She Generated everyone in Her Sorrowful Heart.

6/6 Eve of the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: Spring of Glory and of Graces.

J_Bleeding Sacred Heart

6/27/19 – Vol. 12

Continuing in my usual state, my lovable Jesus showed me His Most Holy Heart, telling me: “My daughter, as many virtues as my Heart practiced, so many springs were formed in It. And as they formed, innumerable rivulets gushed forth, which, spurting up to Heaven, worthily glorified the Father in the name of all, and dropped again from Heaven for the good of all creatures. Now, as creatures too, practice virtues, they form little springs in their hearts, from which their little rivulets gush forth, which cross Mine and, spurting together, glorify the Celestial Father and descend for the good of all, forming such harmony between Heaven and earth that even the Angels remain astonished at the enchanting sight. Therefore, be attentive in practicing the virtues of my Heart, so as to let Me open the springs of my Graces.”

6/5 Jesus: Any kind of cross that is dipped in the thought of My Passion loses half of its bitterness and its weight decreases by half.

Book of Heaven
6/5/05 – Vol. 6

This morning, on coming, Blessed Jesus told me:  “My daughter, crosses, mortifications, are as many Baptismal founts, and any kind of cross that is dipped in the thought of My Passion loses half of its bitterness and its weight decreases by half.”  And He disappeared like a flash.  I remained there, doing certain adorations and reparations in my interior, and He came back again, adding:  “What is not My consolation in seeing, redone in you, what My Humanity did many centuries ago.  In fact, everything that I established for each soul to do, was done in My Humanity before, and if the soul corresponds to Me, what I did for her she does again within herself; but if she does not, it remains done only in Me, and I feel an inexpressible bitterness.”

6/4 How the Divine Will forms the Most Holy Trinity in the creature who Lives in It. The Wonders of Its Acts. How True Love begins from oneself. The Divine Will fecundates and sows Divine Life within the souls.

Book of Heaven
10/19/37 – Vol. 35

The Divine Volition keeps investing me.  I feel Its Motion within me speaking as It moves, but with such an eloquence that, if It didn’t perform a miracle to make Itself understood, I would not be able to repeat what It says.  Even more, It adapts Itself to my capacity, because when It Speaks—Its Word being a Creative Word—It wants to Create the Good contained in Its Word; and if I were unable to understand, I couldn’t make that Good my own, or even less, give it to others, as property of the Supreme Fiat.  So I felt concerned thinking:  How is it that Its Motion is Word?

And my sweet Jesus, visiting my poor soul, all Love told me:  “Blessed daughter of the Divine Volition, know that where My Will Reigns with Its Creative Power, Its Motion and Its Word, It Speaks in the works, in the steps, in the mind, in the breathing…. Wanting to establish Its Kingdom, My Will Speaks in order to Create Its Divine Life in each one of the acts of the creature.  Therefore, it takes the greatest attention to sense where It wants to begin Its Teachings.

“By the Power of Its Word, Its Will Invests the human act—the breathing, the heartbeat, the thinking and the human word; and forms within it, Its Divine Work—the Breathing, the Heartbeat, the Thinking and the Divine Word.  These Acts rise up to Heaven and present themselves before the Most Holy Trinity.  Our Divinity looks at them, and what do We find?  We find Ourselves, Our Life and even the Most Holy Trinity reproduced in these Acts.  We look at the Prodigy of Our Will that overwhelmed the creature with Its Power, making of her the repetition of Our Own Life.  O, how Happy, how enraptured We remain, because We find in her the Sanctity that resembles Us, Our Love that Loves Us, the Intelligence that understands Us, Our Power and Goodness that move Us to Love mankind through the bonds of Our Sweetness.  We recognize Ourselves in her, finding the Work of Creation as We want It to be.

“A single one of these Acts contains such Wonders that they just can’t find enough room in which to place themselves, such is their Greatness.  Only in Our Immensity can they find the place in which to stay, remaining Fused with Our Acts.  What will Our Glory and the glory of the creature not be, since her acts, by virtue of Our Fiat, have their place within the Acts of her Creator?  O, if all knew what it means to Live in the Divine Will, to let It Reign, they would compete with each other to be invested by It and become repeaters of Divine Life.”

Beloved Jesus kept silent.  I remained immersed in the Sea of the Divine Volition, saying, as if stupefied:  My God, what a great extent can be reached by one who Lives in Your Will…!  And a crowd of thoughts, like many voices, were saying and saying… but I am unable to repeat them.  Maybe I will be able to repeat them when I will be in the Heavenly Fatherland and possess the same language as up there.

So, feeling concerned, my Highest Good Jesus continued:  “My daughter, don’t be surprised.  Everything is possible to My Will.  True Love, when It is Perfect, begins from oneself.  The true model is the Most Holy Trinity.  My Celestial Father Loved Himself, and in His Love He Generated His Son; so He Loved Himself in His Son.  I, His Son, Loved Myself in the Father, and from this Love the Holy Spirit proceeded.  By this Loving of Himself, the Heavenly Father Generated One Single Love, One Single Power, Sanctity, and so forth.  He tied the inseparable Union of the Three Divine Persons.

“When We Created the Creation We Loved Ourselves.  We Loved Ourselves in laying Heaven and in Creating the sun; it was the Love for Ourselves that moved Us to Create many beautiful things Worthy of Us and inseparable from Us.  When We Created man the Love of Ourselves became more intense, and as We Loved Ourselves in him Our Love reproduced Our Life and Image in the depth of his soul.  One can give nothing other than what he possesses.  So, since Our Love was Perfect, as We Loved Ourselves, We could not separate Ourselves from what was coming from within Us.

“Now, Our Will, in wanting the creature to Live in It in order to form Its Kingdom, Loves Itself, and Loving Itself, wants to give what It possesses.  Our Will is Happy only when It forms the repetition of Our Life, and when It Operates in the acts of the creature.  Then, Triumphant and Victorious, and with Highest Glory and Honor for Us, It brings them into Our Divine Womb, so that We may Recognize Our own Life in the acts of the creature who Lives in Our Will.  This is the meaning of Loving Itself in all that It wants to do and produce:  giving Itself in order to form another being similar to Itself.

“Our Will is the fecundator and the sower of Our Life.  Where It finds souls disposed It Loves Itself, fecundating them with Its Love—sowing in them Its Divine Acts, that, united together, form the Great Prodigy of the Divine Life in the creature.  Therefore, abandon yourself completely in My Will.  Let It make of you whatever It wants, and we’ll be Happy—you and Us.

6/3 The cross destroys three evil kingdoms and constitutes three good Kingdoms in the soul.

Book of Heaven
6/3/04 – Vol. 6

This morning, since Blessed Jesus was not coming, I felt all oppressed and tired.  Then, when He came, He told me:  “My daughter, do not want to become tired in suffering, but rather, act as if at each hour you were just beginning to suffer.  In fact, if the soul lets herself be dominated by the Cross, the Cross destroys three evil kingdoms in her, that are the world, the devil and the flesh, and it constitutes in her three more Good Kingdoms:  the Spiritual, the Divine and the Eternal Kingdom.”  And He disappeared.
