4/18 …you, by wanting nothing, have wanted Everything, and here is all the Fineness and the Astuteness of True Love.

Book of Heaven:  Volume 11; February 24, 1912

The soul who Lives in the Divine Will loses her temperament and acquires that of Jesus.  The Smile of Jesus.

     After I saw various souls around Jesus, especially the one who was more sensitive, Jesus told me:  “My daughter, if the souls with sensitive temperament start doing Good, they make more progress than the others, because their sensitivity leads them to arduous and great enterprises.”  I prayed that He would take what was left of her human sensitivity away from that soul, and that He would clasp her more closely to Himself and tell her that He Loved her, for He would conquer her Completely, as she would hear that He Loved her.  “You shall see that You shall succeed.  Have You not Conquered me in this way, telling me that You Loved me very, very much?”  And Jesus:  “Yes, yes, I shall do it, but I want her cooperation – that she escape as much as she can from the people who excite her sensitivity.”
     So I added:  “My Love, tell me, what about my temperament – what is it?”  And Jesus:  “The one who Lives in My Will loses her temperament and acquires Mine.  So, in the soul who Lives in My Will one finds a Pleasant, Attractive, Penetrating, Dignified Temperament, and Simple at the same time – of a child-like simplicity; in sum, she looks like Me in everything.  Even more, she keeps her temperament within her power as she wants and as is needed.  Since she Lives in My Will, she takes part in My Power, so she has all things, and herself, at her disposal, and according to the circumstances and the people she deals with, she takes My Temperament and applies it.”
And I:  “Tell me, shall You give me a First Place in Your Will?”  Jesus smiled:  “Yes, yes, I Promise you.  I shall never let you go out of My Will, and you shall take and do whatever you want.”
And I:  “Jesus, I want to be poor poor, little little; I want nothing, even of Your very things; it is better if You keep them.  I want only You, and as I need things You shall give them to me; isn’t it True, O Jesus?”
And Jesus:  Brava, brava, My daughter!  Finally I have found someone who does not want anything.  Everyone wants something from Me, but not the All – that is, Myself Alone; but you, by wanting nothing, have wanted Everything, and here is all the Fineness and the Astuteness of True Love.”  I smiled and Jesus disappeared.
