I (Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta) was feeling all abandoned in the Supreme Fiat, and I thought to myself:\u00a0 \u201cWhat could I give to my beloved Jesus<\/span>?\u201d<\/p>\n

And He (Our Lord Jesus Christ), immediately:\u00a0 \u201cYour will.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I:\u00a0 \u201cMy Love, I gave it to You, and having given it, I believe I am no longer free to give it to You, because it is Yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Jesus:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter, every time you would like to give Me the gift of your will, I accept it as a new gift, because I leave the human will in its free willing, in such a way that the creature can be in the act of giving it to Me always.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> And I accept it as many times for as many times as she gives it to Me,<\/strong> because she sacrifices herself as many times for as many times as she gives Me the gift of it<\/span>.\u00a0 And in seeing that the creature is constant in giving Me her continuous gift, I see that there is true decision on her part, and she loves and esteems the Gift of My Will; and I, just as she gives Me the continuous gift of hers, give her the continuous Gift of Mine; and expanding her capacity\u2014because the creature is incapable of taking the whole endlessness of My Volition\u2014I keep increasing, continuously, more sanctity, more love, more beauty, more light and more knowledge of My Divine Will.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, in the exchange we make\u2014you, of your will, and I, of Mine\u2014we double the gifts, and it remains bound so many times for as many times as we make the exchange of it.\u00a0 Therefore, I always have something to give you, and you too, because in My Will things never end, they arise in every instant; and as you gave your will to Me, at the contact with Mine, yours has acquired the prerogative of Mine, of being able to give itself continuously to your Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n
