confuse natural things, and put nature in the place of God; nor do they
look at the Supreme Will in the natural things, but, greedy, they become

attached to them to form a vain glory for themselves, an esteem that
blinds them, an idol for their hearts. Given this, it is necessary that
natural means be lacking in order to put their souls in safety.

“But for one who is child of My Will all these dangers do not exist, and
therefore I want them to abound with everything, and to lack nothing.”

J.M. January 30, 1927
Why Jesus did not write. How in these manifestations there are

neither threats nor frights, but the echo of the Celestial Fatherland.
When this Kingdom will come. How the pains of the Most Holy
Virgin and those of Our Lord were pains of office, and how They

possessed true happiness. Power of voluntary pains; happiness of
the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.

I was thinking to myself: “My sweet Jesus told me many times that I was

to imitate Him in everything; yet, He never wrote. Only once it is said in
the Gospel that He wrote, and not even with a pen, but with His finger;
as for me, instead, He wants me to write. So, He wants to make me go

out of His imitation He did not write at all, and I must write so much.”
Now, while I was thinking of this, He came as a gracious little child; and
placing Himself in my arms, drawing His face close to mine, He told me:

“My daughter, give Me your kisses, and I will give you Mine.”

Then, after I kissed Him various times, He incited me to kiss Him again,

and then He said to me: “My daughter, do you want to know why I did
not write? Because I was to write through you. It is I who animate your
intelligence, who feed you the words, who give motion to your hand with
Mine, to make you hold the pen and write the words on paper. So, it is I

who write, not you. You do nothing but pay attention to what I want to
write. Therefore, all your work is attention the rest, I do all by Myself. Do
you yourself not see how, many times, you do not have the strength to

write and you decide not to do it, and in order to make you touch with
your own hand that it is I who write, I invest you, and animating you with
My own Life, I Myself write what I want? How many times have you not
experienced this?
