P. 41
But by this "I love you" it seemed that everyone and
everything received new life, and I repeated: "Jesus, say yet
another word."
And He: "I could not say a more beautiful word to you
than an 'I love you.' Moreover, this 'I love you' of Mine fills
Heaven and earth. It circulates in the Saints, and they receive
new glory. It descends into the hearts of those living on earth,
and some receive the grace of conversion, and some of
sanctification. It penetrates into Purgatory. The very elements
feel themselves invested with new life in their fecundity and
growth. Thus all hear the 'I love you' of your Jesus!
"And do you know when the soul attracts to herself an 'I
love you' of Mine? When, merging herself in Me, she takes the
Divine attitude; and, losing herself in Me, she does everything
that I do."
Whereupon I: “My Love, many times it's difficult to always
have this Divine attitude."
Then Jesus: “My daughter, what the soul cannot always
do with her immediate acts in Me, she can supply with the
attitude of her good will. Then I will be so pleased by her, that I
will make Myself a vigilant sentinel of her every thought, of her
every word, of her every heartbeat, etc. Moreover, I will place
them as retinue inside and outside of Myself, looking at them
with so much love as fruit of the good will of the creature.
"When the soul, merging herself in Me, makes her
immediate acts with Me, I then feel Myself so greatly attracted
to her that I do together with her that which she does; and I
change her action into Divine. I keep track of everything and
reward everything. Even the smallest things, as well as a
single good act of the will, do not remain unrewarded in the
creature."
xiv Cf (Volume 34, 28 June 1937) last para.
xv
In one sense both persons, us human and God in Jesus,
have died to each other so there is an equality of love at one
ontological level – meaning the level of existence. Always
keeping in mind God created us and is infinite in Himself etc
xvi This passage express how valuable these writings and doing
Divine Will acts are: (Volume 19 August 18, 1926) Jesus
