and earth; and, as triumpher, making use of His power, He commanded

His dead Humanity to receive His soul again, and to rise, triumphant
and glorious, to immortal life. What a solemn act! My dear Jesus

triumphed over death, saying: “Death, you will no longer be death, but

life.”

With this act of triumph, He placed the seal that He was Man and God;
and with His Resurrection, He confirmed His doctrine, His miracles, the

life of the Sacraments, and the whole life of the Church. Not only this,

but He obtained triumph over the human wills, weakened and almost

seeing my beloved Son dying of pains; but in all this ran the Divine Will.

It was the life of our pains, and We felt triumphant and conquerors, to

the extent of changing even death into life; so much so, that in seeing
the great good, We voluntarily exposed ourselves to suffering because,

since the Divine Will was in Us, no one could impose himself on It, or on

Us. Suffering was in our power, and We called upon it as nourishment
and triumph of Redemption, so as to be able to bring good to the entire

world.

Now, dear child, if your life and your pains have the Divine Will as their

centre of life, be certain that sweet Jesus will use you and your pains to
give help, light and grace to the whole universe. Therefore, pluck up

courage; the Divine Will knows how to do great things wherever It
