            The soul who lives in the Divine Will is always equal to herself. The
            order of providence in the Incarnation and in the manifestations of
            the Holy Magi.


            I was doing my usual acts in the Supreme Volition, and my sweet Jesus
            came out from within my interior; and stretching out His arms to me, He

            embraced me, but He clasped me so tightly to Himself, that I remained
            completely covered with Jesus. And He said to me: “My daughter, I am
            not content if I do not see you completely covered with Me, and so
            dissolved in Me, as to no longer be able to recognise yourself in you,

            but only Me in you.”

            Then He added: “My daughter, one who lives in the Divine Will is

            always equal to herself. Her Acts are symbolised by light, that diffuses
            equally to the back and to the front, to the right and to the left. At the
            most, if it contains greater intensity of light, it expands more; but it
            diffuses always equally in expanding the circumference of light around

            itself.

            “Now, as for the acts done in My Will, symbolised by light, as the act of

            the creature enters into My Will, it embraces past, present and future;
            and not lacking the fullness of light, it expands everywhere and, as
            though in one blow, it takes everyone within the circumference of its

            endless light. Therefore, no one, as much good as he might do, can say
            to one who lives in the Divine Fiat: ‘I am similar to you’; but she alone
            can say: ‘I am similar to He who created me whatever He does, I do.

            One is the light that invests us, one is the strength, one is the Will.’”

            Then, after this, I was thinking about the Holy Magi, when they visited
            the little Baby Jesus in the grotto of Bethlehem; and my always lovable

            Jesus told me: “My daughter, see the order of My Divine Providence: for
            the great portent of My Incarnation, I chose and made use of a Virgin,
            humble and poor; and, as My custodian, who acted as father to Me, the

            virgin Saint Joseph, who was so poor that he needed to work in order to
            support our lives. See how, in the greatest works and the mystery of the
            Incarnation could not be greater We make use of people whose
            outward appearance attracts no one’s attention, because dignities,

            sceptres, riches, are always fumes that blind the soul and prevent her

                                                              123
