STINGINESS
Blog
And how many times
are you yourself stingy with Me? How many times? Either you don't write
what I tell you or you don't reveal it: it is an act of avarice that you employ
with Me, because every new insight that someone has of Me is one more glory and
one more love that I receive from creatures. Be more generous with Me, therefore, and I will be more generous
with you. "
this Love, our Love would be without life and without works. Our
Wisdom grants the incredible; our Power can crush in one minute and then redo
everything the next: but if We did not have a Will that wanted to reveal the
mastery of our Wisdom --as it was revealed, for example, in Creation, in which
We ordered and harmonized everything and, with our Power, prevented that
Creation should change itself even a little=, then neither our Wisdom nor our Power would have had
anything to do. And so it is with the rest of our attributes.
"So, I desire that my Will be the soul of the body. A body
without a soul is without life: even though it contains all the senses, it does
not see, speak, hear, nor act. It is almost something useless and perhaps even
unbearable. But if it is animated, how many things can it not do? Yet, how many
make themselves useless and unbearable because they are not animated by my
Will! They are like electrical plants without light, or cars without an engine,
covered with rust and dust and almost powerless to move. Ah, how pitiful they
are! So, everything that is not animated by my Will is a life of Holiness that
is Jacking. I want to be within you, therefore, like
the soul of your body,'
my Will will bring 'about new surprises of creations. I give new life to my
Love, new works and mastery of
my Wisdom;
I give new movement
to my Power. Pay attention, therefore, and leave everything to Me so that my great plan may be
fulfilled: that the creature be animated by my Will."

Jesus Bound and Alone in
the Dark and Gloomy Prison. The Significance of the Three Hours in the Wait for
the Dawn, Accompanied by Luisa. His Imprisonment in the Tabernacles. Stinginess
Towards Jesus.
29th October 1921 [p29/30]
I passed this night in vigil, and often my thoughts flew to my
Jesus who was tied up in prison. I wanted to embrace those knees that were
shaking because of the painful and cruel position in which the enemies had
bound Him. I wanted to clean away the spittle with which He was soiled ... But
while I was thinking about that, my Jesus, my Life, appeared to me in pitch
darkness, in whichI could hardly make out his adorable Person.· Sobbing, he
said to me:
"Daughter, the enemies left Me In prison alone, horribly
bound and in darkness, so that all around there was nothing but pitch dark.. Oh,
how this darkness afflicted Me! My clothes were wet from the dirty water of the
torrent; I smelled the stench of the prison and the spittle with which I was
soiled. My hair was in disarray, and there was no one merciful enough to remove
it from my eyes and my mouth. My hands were bound by chains, and the darkness
prevented Me from seeing my condition, which was, alas, so sorrowful and
humiliating. Oh, what things my sorrowful condition in this prison was
communicating! I stayed in prison three hours. In so doing, I wanted to restore
the three epochs of the world: the law of nature, 'the written law, and the law
of Grace. I wanted to free everyone, reunite everyone, and give them the
freedom that belongs to my sons. By staying three hours, I wanted to restore
the three stages of man: childhood, youth, and old age. I wanted to restore man
when he sins through passion, through will, and through obstinacy. Oh, how the
darkness that I saw around Me made Me feel the pitch darkness that sin produces
in man! Oh, how I wept for him, saying to him: 0 man, it is your sins that have
thrown Me into this pitch darkness, which I suffer so that I can give you
light; it is your iniquities that have soiled Me, iniquities that the darkness
does not even permit Me to see. Look at Me: I am the image of your sins. If you
want to know them, look at them in Me!
"During the last hour I was in prison, however, dawn broke,
and through the cracks a few glimmers of light entered. Oh, how my Heart was
relieved in being able to see my sorrowful condition! This light symbolizes
what happens when man is tired of the night of sin, and Grace like dawn
surrounds him, sending him glimmers of light to call him back. So, my Heart
gave a sigh of relief In this dawn I saw you, my beloved prisoner: you who my
Love had to tie up in this condition and who would not have left Me alone in
the darkness of the prison. Awaiting dawn at my feet and following my sighs, you
would. have cried with Me about the night of man. This comforted Me, and I
offered my imprisonment to give to you the grace of following Me.

"But the prison and the darkness have yet another meaning: the
long sojourn of my imprisonment in Tabernacles
and the solitude in which I am left, often with no one to speak to or to give a
glance of love. Other times, in the Sacred Host I feel the touch of unworthy
tongues, the stench of festering and corrupt hands. There is no one who touches
Me with pure hands and perfumes Me with his love. How many times human ingratitude
leaves Me in the dark without even the meagre light of a lamp! Thus my
imprisonment continues, and it will continue still longer. Since we are both
prisoners--you, a prisoner in your bed, all alone for the sake of my Love; Myself,
a prisoner for you-s]l want] to bind all creatures with my Love, using the
chains that keep Me bound. We will keep each other company, therefore, and you
will help Me lay out the chains that will be used to bind all hearts to my Love.
"
Afterward, I thought to myself: “How little we know about Jesus,
while He has done so much! Why have they spoken so little about everything that
my Jesus did and suffered?"
Jesus, returning once again, added: "My daughter, everyone
is stingy with Me, even the good.
How much stinginess they have
concerning Me, how many restrictions, how many things that I tell them and that
they understand about Me that they do not reveal!
And how many times are
you yourself stingy with Me? How many times? Either you don't write what I
tell you or you don't reveal it: it is an act of avarice that you employ with
Me, because every new insight that someone has of Me is one more glory and one
more love that I receive from creatures. Be more generous with Me, therefore, and I will be more generous with you. "

The
Creature Must Return and Repose in the Bosom of His Creator Where He Came Forth because, in All His Being, He Has Innumerable
Bonds with God: THIS IS THE SANCTITY OF THE DIVINE VOLITION.
4th
November 1921
I was feeling completely in union with my sweet Jesus. When He
came to me I threw myself into his arms, completely
abandoning myself in Him, as to my center. I felt an irresistible desire to
stay in his arms, and my sweet Jesus said to me:
"My daughter, it
is the creature that seeks the bosom of his Creator and that seeks to repose in
his arms. It is your duty to come into the arms of
your Creator and to repose in his bosom, from where you have come; for
you must realize that there pass many electric
wires of communication and of union between the creature and his Creator, which
make the creature almost inseparable from Me, on condition that he does not withdraw from my Volition.
Such a withdrawal means nothing else than to cut the wires of communication, to
break union. The Creator's Life, more than electricity,
flows within the
creature, and it flows within Me. My
Life has been sown in the creature: in creating him, I linked my Wisdom to his
intelligence, so that it was nothing else than the
reflection of my own. If man achieves so much with his science, which brings
about the incredible,
it is my own intelligence that is being reflected in his. If his
eye is animated by a light, it is nothing else than the reflection of my
Eternal Light that is being reflected in him. Among the Divine Persons, We have 110 -need
to speak in order to understand each other .. But in Creation I wanted to use the word, and I said
'Fiat', and the things of creation were made. With this Fiat I granted the power so that creatures
might also possess the
- word,
so as to understand each other. Even
human voices, therefore, are connected like an electric wire to my first word, from which all other words derive. While I created man, I
breathed upon him with my breath, infusing him with life. I put within him all my
life,
to the measure that
the human capacity was able to contain it...
I put everything in
him; there was nothing of my own that I did not make him a part of You see,
even man's
