During the Holy Christmas novena, while Luisa was about to do the fifth hour of meditation, she felt Jesus’ internal voice imploring her not to depart from Him or to leave Him alone, because another excess of His love is that He does not want to be left alone but wants the company of the creature. This request of Jesus’ may seem a paradox, because in the previous hour He affirmed that the moment He was conceived He conceived in Himself all past, present and future souls. Yet, Jesus makes us understand that He is alone even in the midst of so many! In fact, Jesus complains to Luisa that while He is all love with creatures and wants to talk with them to communicate His joys, make them happy, console them and give them all His goods and His Kingdom, they instead give Him so much suffering and reduce Him to silence, despising His goods and disregarding the Kingdom. So Jesus feels His joys transformed into tears.
How loneliness weighs upon Jesus! He has no one with whom to say a word, to give vent, not even of love. He is always sad and silent, because if He speaks He is not listened to. So the internal voice of Jesus begs Luisa not to leave Him alone, but rather to give Him the pleasure of listening to Him when He speaks and to His teachings, because He is the Teacher of teachers. If she listens to Him He will stop crying. Luisa often thought of Jesus’ solitude in the womb of His Mama, and Jesus would often tell her that the company of the creature is so sweet and pleasing to Him. It was precisely for the creature, to find and keep her in His company, that He descended from heaven to earth. Jesus is very pleased by the company of the creature who loves Him and tries to break His loneliness. That is why He always wants her together with Him, as a spectator of His infant tears, His moans, sobs, sufferings, works, and joys, because He wants to deposit everything in her. With the creature possessing the Divine Will, it would be too hard for Him if He did not always have her with Him. In fact, the Divine Will feels the irresistible need to share with the creature all that His Humanity does. Whoever lives in the Divine Will never leaves Him alone.
Luisa, therefore, often felt sorry for Jesus in seeing Him so alone. He pointed out that solitude came from human ingratitude, but on the divine side and its works everyone accompanied Him and never left Him alone. With Him descended the Father and the Holy Spirit, because the three Divine Persons are inseparable, and in the act when He came down from Heaven all formed His cortege and paid Him due honors. The sky with all its stars formed His cortege, giving Him the honors of His Immutability and His endless Love, as did the sun paying Him the honors of His eternal light. The wind, the sea and the little bird surrounded Him – everything and all to give Him the love and glory with which He had created them. All creation made feast. He also had the cortege of the angels that never left Him; only the ungrateful creature left Him alone. Now, after so many centuries, Jesus waits for the coming of His Kingdom on earth, because only one who lives in His Will adorns Him with light and gives Him warmth in exchange for the coldness of creatures. So He awaits the cortege of souls who live in the Divine Will.
Those who live in the Divine Will are inseparable from Jesus, and whenever Jesus is reborn they are reborn with Him and in all the divine acts. Indeed, in every act they do He entreats them to be reborn and they form for Him a new Paradise and He makes them be reborn together with Him to make them happy. To give laud to those who live together with Him is one of His greatest joys. His whole intent is to make the creature enjoy the immense sea of His infinite joys and happiness.
My Jesus, my heart palpitates,
but I am not happy if You do not make mine palpitate with Yours.
With Your heartbeat, I will love as You love.
I will give You the love of all creatures and one will be the cry: Love, Love!
Oh my Jesus, give honor to Yourself and to everything I do,
imprint the mark of Your own power, love and glory.
