“If I made Myself seen always, in order to spend time with Me and to
enjoy My sweet and lovable presence, you would occupy yourself with

My Humanity; you would pour out your love with Me, and I with you, and
you would not have the heart to leave Me in order to follow the flight of
My Will in the Creation and in the very acts that My Humanity did in

Redemption. Therefore, in order to make you fulfil the mission entrusted
to you, to render you more free, I remain within you, as though hidden,
to follow your very acts in the Eternal Fiat.

“Do you not remember that this was said to My very Apostles that it was
necessary for them to detach themselves from My Humanity, that they

because the beloved is within her, to follow her everywhere.

longer love you as before, and that I can be without you not at all. On

the contrary, My Will gives you the eternal and complete love of your
Jesus, and placing Itself around Me like a wall with Its light, It does not
allow that even for one instant I may move away from you.

“Do you know what puts distance between God and the soul? The
human will! Each act of it is one step of distance between the Creator
and the creature. The more the human will operates, the more man
