what is the wonder if I said that she takes part in the works ‘ad
intra’?

Besides, from the way it is explained further down, if they
wanted to know the truth they could have known very well the

meaning of my ‘ad intra’, because the truth is light to the mind,
and with light things can be seen as they are. But if one does
not want to know the truth, the mind is blind and things cannot
be seen as they are; and so they raise doubts and difficulties,

remaining more blind than before.

Besides, my Being is always in act, It has no beginning and no
end, I am old and new, therefore Our works ‘ad intra’ have

always been, are and will be – and always in act. So, through
the intimate union with Our Will, the soul is already within Us,
and therefore she admires, she contemplates, she loves, she
enjoys - she takes part in Our love, in Our enjoyments and in

everything else. Why, then, was it inappropriate for Me to say
that one who does my Will takes part in the actions ‘ad intra’?”

While Jesus was saying this, a simile came to my mind: a man
marries a woman; the two have children, and are so rich,

virtuous and good as to make whomever might live with them
happy. Now, if someone, touched by the goodness of this
couple, wants to live together with them, does he not come to
partake in their riches and in their happiness? And by living

together with them, does he not feel himself being infused with
their virtues? If this can be done humanly, how much more with

our lovable Jesus.

viii I will give Book of Heaven references from Fr Iannuzzi in

another chapter.
ix St John Paul II Theology of the Body really develops this
point of original holiness etc

x Galatians 2:19-20 “I have been crucified with Christ, and I

live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives
in me.”
