Volume 23- February 25, 1928-How the Divine Will is present in the midst of creatures as center of life. How the heartbeat is the king of one’s nature, and the thought is the king of one’s soul.
But while my poor mind wandered in the Fiat, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, my Will is present in the midst of creatures as center of life. Similarly, the human heart can be called king of one’s nature; in fact, if the heart palpitates, the mind thinks, the mouth speaks, the hands operate, the feet walk; if the heart does not palpitate, all of a sudden everything ends, because the king of the poor nature is missing, and therefore the one who rules and gives life to the thought, to the word, and to everything that the creature can do, is missing. Similarly, the thought is king of the soul, the dwelling, the throne in which the soul carries out her activity, her life, her regimen. Now, if the human nature wanted to suffocate the beating of the heart, to do without its king in speaking, thinking and the like, what would happen? It itself would give death to all of its acts; so, it would be the suicide of itself. And if the soul wanted to suffocate the thought, she would not find the way in order to carry out her activity, and therefore it would be like a king without kingdom and without people.
Now, what the heart is for the human life, and the thought for the soul, my Divine Will is in each creature. It is like center of life, and from Its incessant and eternal heartbeat, It palpitates and the creature thinks, palpitates and speaks, walks and operates. But creatures not only do not think about It, but suffocate It; they suffocate Its light, Its sanctity, Its peace, the upright operating, the just and holy speaking; and some of them suffocate It so much as to render themselves the suicides of their souls. And my Will, in the low world, is like a king without kingdom and without people; and creatures live as if they had no king, no divine life, no regimen, because the king of their heartbeat, for their nature, and the king of their thought, for their souls, is missing. And since, because of Its immensity, It envelops everything and everyone, It is forced to live as though suffocated within Itself, because there is no one who receives Its life, Its attitude, Its regimen. But It wants to form Its Kingdom on earth, It wants to have Its chosen and faithful people; and therefore, even though It is present in the midst of creatures and lives unknown and suffocated, It does not stop, It does not depart for Its celestial regions, but
persists in remaining in their midst to make Itself known. It would want to make everyone know the good It wants to do, Its celestial laws, Its insuperable love, Its heartbeat that palpitates light, sanctity, love, gifts, peace, happiness; and such does It want the children of Its Kingdom. And this is the reason for Its life in you, for Its knowledges – to make known what Divine Will means. And I enjoy and remain hidden in my very Will, to give It all the field and the carrying out of Its life in you.”
Scripture Meditation- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Prayer- O Lord how You long to reign in all hearts. That Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven! May we trust You with all of our hearts as we remain faithful and attentive to Your Heartbeat that beats for all of us- may our hearts beat in unity!
