Everything is in giving oneself to Jesus, and in doing His Will in everything.
Finding myself in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus made Himself seen as all sorrowful, and
said to me:
"My daughter, they do not want to understand that everything is in giving oneself completely to Me,
and in doing my Will in everything. Once I have obtained this, I Myself keep pushing the souls, telling them - each and every one: ‘My daughter, take this enjoyment, this comfort, this relief, this refreshment....’
With this difference: if they had taken those permissible pleasures before they were giving themselves to Me in
everything, and doing my Will always and in everything, they were human things; but after, they are divine
actions. Since they are my things I no longer feel jealous, and I say to Myself: ‘If she takes a legitimate
pleasure, she takes it because I want it; if she deals with people about some business, if she legitimately
converses, it is because I want it. If I didn’t want it, she would be ready to stop; so I put everything at her
disposal, because all she does is the effect of my Will, no longer of her own will.
Tell me, my daughter, what have you lacked since you gave yourself completely to Me? I gave you my
flavors, my pleasures and all of Myself for your contentment. This, in the supernatural order; but neither did I
let you lack anything in the order of faith: confessors, Communions, and the rest. Even more, since you wanted
only Me, you yourself did not want confessors so often; but I didn’t listen to you. I wanted everything in
abundance for the one who wanted to deprive herself of all for Me.
Daughter, what pain I feel in my Heart in seeing that souls do not want to understand this, even those
who are said to be the best!"

The Divine Will is the center to which all other things must be connected.
This morning my always adorable Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, my Will is the center, the
other virtues are the circle. Imagine a wheel in whose middle all the rays are centered. What would happen if
one of these rays wanted to detach itself from the center? First, that ray would look bad; secondly, it would
remain dead, while the wheel, in moving, would get rid of it.
Such is my Will for the soul.
My Will is the center. All the things which are not done in my Will, and only to fulfill my Will - even holy things, virtues or good works - are like the rays detached from the center of the wheel: works and virtues with no life. . They could never please Me; rather, I do everything to punish them and to get rid of them."
