VOL. 19 – February 28, 1926
Every time the soul occupies herself with herself, she loses one act in the Divine Will.  What it means to lose this act.

I continued amid my usual fears, and my always lovable Jesus, making Himself seen, all goodness told me:  “My daughter, do not lose time, because every time you occupy yourself with yourself it is an act of my Will that you lose; and if you knew what it means to lose one single act in my Will…!  You lose a divine act – that act which embraces everything and everyone, and which contains all the goods that exist in Heaven and on earth.  More so, since my Will is a continuous act which never stops Its course, nor can It wait for you when you stop with your fears.  It is more appropriate for you to follow It in Its continuous course, than for It to wait for you to place yourself on the way in order to follow It.  And not only do you lose time, but having to pacify you and to raise you from your fears in order to put you on the way in my Will, you force Me to occupy Myself with things which do not regard the Supreme Volition.  Your very Angel, who is near you, remains on an empty stomach, because every act you do in It, as you follow Its course, is one more accidental beatitude which he enjoys, being near you; and it is a doubled paradise of joys that you offer him, in such a way that he feels happy in his destiny of having you in his custody.  And since the joys of Heaven are communal, your Angel offers the accidental beatitude he has received from you, his doubled paradise, to the whole Celestial Court as the fruit of the Divine Will of his protected one.  All make feast and magnify and praise the power, the sanctity, the immensity of my Will.  Therefore, be attentive; in my Will one cannot lose time – there is much to do; you have to follow the act of a God, which is never interrupted.”
