Diary Entry: November 2, 1927
Difference between one who lives
and operates in the Divine Will, and
one who does good in the night of
the human will.

My flight in the Divine Will is continuous, and my
poor intelligence is as though fixed in It; and in Its Light I
could comprehend the great difference between the
operating in the Supreme Will and the human operating,
good in itself, but without the life of the Divine Fiat in the
action of the creature. So I said to myself: “How can all
this difference be possible?”
And my Beloved Jesus, moving within my interior,
told me: “My daughter, the human will formed the night
for the human family in their souls; and if they do good
works, even important ones, since good in itself is light,
they unleash from themselves many little lights. It might
be the light of a match, the light of a little lamp, or of an
electric bulb; according to the good present inside the
human action and to the multiplicity of the actions, so are
the lights formed—some small, some a little larger.
“But even though, by virtue of their little lights,
they, and those who surround them, receive the good of
not remaining in the dark, they do not have the virtue of
making the night turn into day. So, they might be even
like cities or houses that possess the good of many electric
lights, that are also subject to becoming extinguished—but

being able to change the night into day, this will be
impossible for them, because it is not in the nature of the
light formed by human industriousness, whether in the
soul or in the body, to be able to form the full day. Only
the sun possesses this virtue of dispelling the darkness of
the night and of forming its full day that, blazing with light
and heat, gladdens the earth with all its inhabitants, and
wherever it shines, it produces its vital effects for all
nature.
“Now, only the living in My Will and operating in
It is continuous daytime; and as the soul operates, be her
action small or great, she acts under the reflection of the
eternal and immense Sun of My Fiat; and as It is reflected
in the action of the creature, by virtue of It, the sun is
formed in the human action, and the creature remains in
possession of these suns that make her enjoy continuous
full day. And since these suns have been formed by virtue
of the reflections of the Sun of My Divine Volition, that
possesses the source of light, the human action, converted
into sun, is nourished by the source of light, and therefore
they are not subject to either becoming extinguished or
decreasing in light.
“See, then, what great difference exists between
one who operates and lives in My Will and one who does
good outside of It. It is the difference that passes between
one who can form the sun, and many suns, and one who
can form light; and one sun is enough to eclipse all the
lights, and all lights together do not have the virtue, nor
the intensity of light, to be able to surpass one sun. In
order to comprehend this with more clarity, you can see it
in the order of the universe—that all lights, of whatever
kind, formed by the human industriousness, are incapable
of forming the day.
“On the other hand, the sun created by My creative
hands, even though it is one, forms the day, because it
possesses the source of light, placed in it by its Creator;

and therefore it is not subject to decreasing in light—
symbol of those who live in My Divine Will: in all of
their acts flows an act of Divine Life, a Creative Strength,
that has the virtue of forming suns; nor does it lower itself
or want to form little lights, but suns, that are never
extinguished.
“From this you can comprehend how the good
produced by the human will, though it cannot form the
day, is always a good for man; and creatures receive the
utility of light in the night of the human will. It serves
them so as not to die in the thick darkness of sin. Those
lights, though small, direct their steps, allow them to see
the dangers, and draw My paternal Goodness toward them,
seeing that they make use of the night of their human will
to form at least little lights, so as to direct their steps along
the path of salvation.
“It was precisely this that drew all Our tenderness
and Our paternal Goodness toward Adam. He had
comprehended what living in Our Divine Will meant, and
with his littlest acts, just as with the greatest, he ran inside
Our Creative Virtue, and they were invested by the Sun of
the Eternal Fiat that, being Sun, had the virtue of being
able to form as many suns as he wanted. And in seeing
himself emptied of this Creative Strength, he could no
longer form suns; and so—poor one—he tried as hard as
he could to form little lights; and in seeing the great
difference between his original act and that after sin, he
felt such grief as to feel himself dying at each act of his.
The Supreme Being felt touched, and admired the
industriousness of poor Adam who, no longer able to form
suns, did his best to form little lights with his acts; and
because of this, He kept for him the promise of the future
Messiah.”
