Jesus makes Luisa content, making her suffer without moving her from His Most Holy Will. There are two
stairways to Heaven: one of wood, for those who take the path of virtue; and one of gold, for those who live in
the Divine Will.
This morning my always adorable Jesus, though He came in the usual way, seemed to me as if He was
just passing through. He was anxious to see me again and to be with me in a familiar way. In seeing Him so
good, so sweet and benign, I forgot all about my troubles - my privations; and seeing Him with a big thick
crown of thorns, I told Him: ‘Sweet Love and my Life, show me if you still love me. Remove this crown from
around your head and place it on mine, with your own hands.’
Soon adorable Jesus removed it and pressed it on my head with His own hands. Oh, how happy I felt
with the thorns of Jesus - sharp, yes, but sweet! He looked at me with loving tenderness and, feeling so tenderly
observed, I bravely added: ‘Jesus, my heart, the thorns are not enough for me. To be certain that You love me as
before, don’t You also have the nails with which to nail me? Hurry, O Jesus, don’t keep me in doubt; for the
only doubt of not being always loved by You, gives me continual death! Pierce me!’
And He: "Dear daughter, I cannot find the nails, but in order to make you content, I will pierce you with
a piece of iron." So He took my hands and ripped them open, very far; and then my feet. I suffered, yes; I felt as
if I was swimming in a sea of pain, but also of love and sweetness. It seemed that Jesus could not remove His
tender and loving gaze from me; arranging me and covering me completely with His royal mantle, He told me:
"My sweet daughter, cease now any doubt about my Love for you. Even more, in order to give you courage I
tell you that no matter your state, or whether you see Me concerned, or flashing by, or silent, remember that one
single renewal of my thorns or nails to you will be enough to place us again in our loving closeness and
intimacy - more than before. Therefore, be content, and I will continue with the scourges of the world."
He told me other things, but the intensity of the pain does not allow me to remember them well. Then I
remained alone again, without Jesus, and I poured myself out with my sweet Mama, crying and praying Her to
make Jesus come back. My Mama told me: "My sweet daughter, do not cry. You must thank Jesus for the way
He behaves with you and for the grace He gives you, not allowing you to move away from His Most Holy Will,
in these times of chastisements. Greater grace He could not give you."
After this, Jesus came back and, noticing that I had cried, told me: "Have you cried?" And I: ‘I cried
with Mama; I didn’t cry with anyone else, and I did it because You were not here.’ Jesus took my hands in His
hands, and it seemed that He was soothing my pains; then He showed me two high stairways, from earth up to
Heaven. On one of them there were more people - very few on the other one. The one on which there were only
few people was of solid gold, and it seemed that those few who were going up were other Jesuses - each one of
them was one Jesus. On the other one, which seemed to be made of wood, there were more people, and they
could be distinguished and identified - almost all short and not very developed.
Jesus told me: "My daughter, those who lived their lives in my Life ascend on the golden stairs; I can
say that they are my feet, my hands, my Heart - the whole of Myself. Just as you can see that they are another
Me, they are everything to Me, and I am their life. Their actions are all of gold and of incalculable price,
because they are Divine. Nobody will ever be able to reach their height because they are my very Life; almost
without anyone knowing them, because they are hidden within Me. Only in Heaven will they be perfectly
known.
On the wooden stairs there are more souls; these are the souls who walk along the way of the virtues, but
not in union with my Life and with the continuous connection of my Will. Their actions are of wood, (since
only the union with Me forms golden actions), therefore their price is minimal. These souls are short, almost
scrawny, because many human purposes are mixed in with their good actions, and human purposes do not
produce growth. They are known to everyone, because they are not hidden within Me, but within themselves;
therefore, nobody covers them. They will not cause any surprise for Heaven, since they were known also on
earth.
Therefore, my daughter, I want you completely in my Life, with nothing in yours, and I entrust to you
the ones you know and see, that they may keep themselves strong and constant on the stairway of my Life." He
pointed to me someone whom I know, and disappeared. May all be for His Glory.
December 14, 1912
One who lives in the Divine Will lives in the Most Holy Humanity of Jesus, in order to do what He does and
embrace everyone and everything. One who lives completely in His Will is not tempted.
This morning, when my always adorable Jesus came, He tied me with a golden thread and told me: "My
daughter, I do not want to tie you with ropes and chains. Iron shackles and chains are used with the rebels, but
with the docile - with those who want no life other than my Will, and who take no food other than my Love - a
thread is enough to keep them united with Me; and many times I don’t even use this thread. They are so deeply
into Me, that we form one single thing. So, if I use the thread, it is almost to joke with them."
While Jesus was tying me, I found myself in the endless sea of the Will of my Jesus and, consequently,
of all creatures; and I went wandering in the mind of Jesus, in the eyes of Jesus, in the mouth of Jesus, in the
Heart of Jesus, as well as in the mind, in the eyes and in everything else of the creatures, doing all that Jesus
did. Oh, how Jesus embraces all, without excluding anyone! Then, Jesus added: "One who lives in my Will,
embracing everything, praying and repairing for all, takes within herself the love that I have for everyone; she
encloses in just herself the love that I have for all. For as much as I love her, she is equally dear to Me and
beautiful. She leaves everyone behind."
Then, having read that one who is not tempted is not dear to God, and since it seems to me that for a
long time I have not known what temptation is, I mentioned this to Jesus, and He told me: "My daughter, one
who lives completely in my Will is not subject to temptation, because the devil does not have the power to enter
my Will; not only this, but he, himself, does not want to enter because my Will is Light, and in front of this
Light the soul would recognize his tricks and would therefore make fun of the enemy. The enemy does not like
this mockery, which are more terrible for him than hell itself; so he does all he can to stay away from her. Try to
get out of my Will, and you will see how many enemies will swoop down on you. One who lives in my Will
always carries the flag of victory high, and none of the enemies dare to confront this impregnable flag."
