April 25, 1900 - Volume 3

Luisa writes,

As I was in my usual state and not finding my sweet Jesus, I had to go

around very much to go in search of Him. Finally I found Him in the arms of the

Queen Mama, suckling milk from Her breasts. As much as I said and did, He did

not seem to pay attention to me; or rather, He did not even look at me. Who can

say the pain of my poor heart, in seeing that Jesus was not paying attention to

me? Then, after I gave vent to my tears, having compassion for me, He came into

my arms and poured from His mouth a little bit of that milk which He had suckled

from the Queen Mama.

After this, I looked into His breast, and He had a little pearl, so refulgent

as to invest the most holy Humanity of Our Lord with light. Wanting to know

the meaning of it, I asked Jesus what that pearl was, which, while appearing so

small, spread so much light. And Jesus: “It is the purity of your suffering which,

though small, is the cause of so much light, because you suffer only for love of

Me and would be ready to suffer more if I conceded it to you. My daughter, purity

in operating is so great, that one who operates with the sole purpose of pleasing

Me alone, does nothing other than spread light from all of his operating. One

who does not operate in an upright way, even in good, does nothing other than

spread darkness.” Then I looked into the breast of Our Lord, and He had a most

clear mirror, and it seemed that those who walked in an upright way remained

completely absorbed in that mirror, while those who did not, remained outside,

without being able to receive any imprint of the image of blessed Jesus. Ah, Lord,

keep me all absorbed in this divine mirror, that I may have no other shade of

intention in my operating.

April 24, 1927 - Volume 21

Luisa writes,

I was feeling embittered because of the privation of my sweet Jesus, and while I was longing for His return, He came out from within my interior, but so afflicted as to arouse pity; and I said to Him: “But, tell me, what’s wrong that You are so afflicted?”
And Jesus: “Ah! my daughter, grave things are to happen. In order to reorder a kingdom, a house, a general uproar happens first, and many things perish—some lose, others gain. In sum, there is chaos, a greater struggling, and many things are suffered in order to reorder, renew and give a new shape to the kingdom, or the house. There is more suffering and more work to do if one must destroy in order to rebuild, than if one only had to build.
“The same will happen in order to rebuild the Kingdom of My Will. How many innovations need to be made. It is necessary to turn everything upside down, to knock down and destroy human beings, to upset the earth, the sea, the air, the wind, the water, the fire, so that all may put themselves at work in order to renew the face of the earth, so as to bring the order of the new Kingdom of My Divine Will into the midst of creatures. Therefore, many grave things will happen, and in seeing this, if I look at the chaos, I feel afflicted; but if I look beyond, in seeing the order and My new Kingdom rebuilt, I go from a deep sadness to a joy so great that you cannot comprehend. This is the reason why you see Me now sad and now with the joy of My Celestial Fatherland.”
I felt sad because of this uproar that Jesus had talked to me about; those grave things were terrifying—I could hear tumults, revolutions and wars in several places. Oh! how my poor heart moaned.
And Jesus, to cheer me, took me in His arms, pressed me tightly to His most holy Heart, and told me: “My daughter, let us look beyond, that we may be cheered. I want to make things return as in the beginning of Creation, that was nothing other than an outpouring of love; and it still lasts, because whatever We do once, We do always—it is never interrupted. No tiredness of repeating an act ever enters into Us—whatever We do once, We like to do always. This is the Divine operating—to do an act that lasts for centuries upon centuries, and even for all eternity.

April 23, 1899 - Volume 2

Luisa writes,

Today I did my meditation on the harm that can come to our souls from the praises that other creatures give us. While I was doing the application to myself, to see whether there was complacency for human praises within me, Jesus came close to me and told me: “When a heart is full of the knowledge of self, the praises of men are like sea waves that rise and overflow, but never go out of their boundary. In the same way, human praises yell and shout, they clamor, they get close even to the heart, but in finding it full and well surrounded by the strong walls of the knowledge of self, unable to find a place for themselves, they draw back, causing no damage to the soul. So, this is what you must be careful about: taking the praises and scorns of creatures into no account.”
