The most beautiful act is the abandonment in the Will of God.
As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus would not come, and I was thinking to myself about which would be the most
beautiful act, and most pleasing to our Lord, which might more easily induce Him to come: sorrow for one’s own sins or
resignation? In the meantime, He came for just a little, and told me:
"Daughter, the most beautiful act, and most pleasing
to Me, is the abandonment in my Will – but so great, that the soul would remember no more that her being exists; rather,
everything for her is Divine Will. Even though sorrow for one’s own sins is good and praiseworthy, yet, it does not
destroy one’s own being; while abandoning oneself completely in my Will destroys one’s own being, and makes one
reacquire the Divine Being. Therefore, by abandoning herself in my Will, the soul gives Me more honor, because she
gives Me everything I can demand of the creature, reacquiring, in Me, that which had come out of Me.
And the soulcomes to reacquire that which alone she should reacquire – that is, she reacquires God, with all the goods that God possesses. However, as long as the soul remains completely in the Will of God, she reacquires God; but as she goes out of my Will, she reacquires her own being, with all the evils of the corrupted nature."
