The sea, symbol of the Divine Will.

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. (Psalm 95:5)

Volume 36- September 27, 1938

I am always in the sea of the Divine Will, and I make my pains and unspeakable bitternesses flow within It, so that they may be invested by Its divine strength and may turn into light for me and for all. And my sweet Jesus, visiting my little soul, all goodness told me: “My blessed daughter, the sea gives room to all the things that are immersed in it. It gives room to the fish, keeping them submerged inside its waters, giving them everything that is needed to keep them alive. The fish are the most fortunate, the richest – they lack nothing because they live always in the sea. Oh! if the fish got out of the sea, their life would end. The sea receives everything, it lends itself to all, it bathes everything and everyone and hides them all inside its waters. If the sailor wants to cross the sea and go to different regions, the water of the sea receives the ship, becomes the way, accompanies him, never leaves him alone until he reaches his destination. Everyone can find a place in the sea.
Such is my Will: all can find their place in It, and with unspeakable love It makes Itself life of each one, way to guide them, light to dispel the darkness of life, strength to sustain them. It never leaves them alone; whatever they do, It wants to do it together with them. Oh! how It grieves when It sees the creatures outside of Its sea, because It sees them ugly, dirty, so dissimilar from It as to be disgusting. Therefore, the most fortunate are those who live in my Will; they are carried on the lap of Its waves, and as long as they live in It, It will take care of all that is needed for their good.”
