Seventh excess of love: Supplicating love

“To be free in my works, I put everything aside and cover everything with My love so that I do not see anything except My love and will”

Even before Luisa ended the sixth hour of meditation, the internal voice of Jesus asked her to still remain with Him to look at the seventh excess of His love: Supplicating love. The little Child, sobbing, made her understand that from the first moment of His conception He wanted to give Himself to everyone in an irrefutable way, suffering pains that were inconceivable to the human mind; hence, the Incarnation was none other than the giving of Himself to the mercy of the creature.

Jesus, who in the bosom of the Celestial Father was immersed in a multitude of infinite joys and endless happiness, due to an excess of Love towards creatures stripped Himself of all His goods and descended from Heaven to take on all the miseries of creatures in order to give them eternal happiness in return; yet, how much ingratitude and obstinate perfidy is there in man!

His Eternal Love was awestruck by so much treachery: man had become the true thief and ungrateful usurper of the divine goods. Ingratitude was the most painful thorn that pierced His heart since His first conception; that is why His heart is wounded and gushing forth blood. Jesus told Luisa that if He had accounted for man’s ingratitude toward so much love, He would have returned to Heaven and in this way would have grieved and embittered His Love, changing the feast into mourning. But with strength and a greater display of His love, He put everything aside – ingratitude, sins, miseries, weaknesses – and placed in act His greatest works, as if all these things had not existed. If He had wanted to account for the evils of mankind, He would not have been able to accomplish great works or make a complete outward display of His love. He would have been stuck and suffocated in His love. Instead, in order to be free in His works and make them more beautiful He put everything aside and, when necessary, covered everything with His love so that He saw nothing except Love and Divine Will. In this way He carried forward with His greatest works and did them as if no one had offended Him, because for the Glory of God nothing must be lacking in the decorum, beauty and grandeur of divine works.

Therefore, Jesus’ Love does not give Him peace, but wants to fill the voids of His glory and honor and comes to the point of repaying, with love, the Divinity who created the sky, sun, wind, sea, the flowery earth and everything else exclusively for man who, notwithstanding, revealed himself as being ungrateful, never saying thank you for the goods received. His Love runs to fill the abysses of distance between the Creator and the creature, satisfies the Heavenly Father and by means of love intends to buy back all the human generations to give them anew the life of the Divine Will. Jesus emphasizes the fact that when His love pays, its value is so great that it can pay for everyone and reacquire what it wants.

Meanwhile, Luisa felt her heart being torn in seeing baby Jesus cry, sob, wail and shiver from the cold. She would have wanted to place an "I love you" on every one of His pains and tears to warm Him and quiet down His crying. He begged her not to shut the door in His face and exhorted her to live in His Will so that He would feel her close in His tears, in His wails, and feel her flowing in His crying sobs and in the trembling of His infant limbs. By virtue of the Divine Will, she would transform His tears into smiles and His sobs into the joys of Heaven. With her lullabies of love she would warm Him and transform His sufferings into kisses and embraces.

Whoever lives in the Divine Will makes his/hers the Fiat for which all things were created, to spread over everything homage, adoration, and divine love to their Creator; the echo of the Eternal Fiat resounds in the Divine Fiat in which the person lives and spreads, runs and flies, and impresses another Fiat upon every created thing. It runs and flies upon the wings of the wind filling the whole atmosphere, flows through the waters of the sea, rests on every plant and flower, multiplies Itself with every motion: It is a voice that echoes everything and says: “Love, Glory and Adoration to my Creator”.
