PSALM 23: 1

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”

PICCARRETA:

Aug. 16. “May the Divine Will be everything for us. May It be our refuge, our life, our All.”

BOH VOL 29 July 6, 1931

My poor mind seems to be able to do nothing other than think about the Divine Will. In each thing that I see, it keeps looking for Its Life; and as the interior does this, on the outside it finds nothing other than that Divine Fiat that so much loves it and wants love.

I feel the need to find It in all things, in order to breathe It, to feel Its heartbeat of light which, like blood, circulates in my soul and constitutes itself primary life of my poor being. And where I am unable to find It, I feel I lack a continuous heartbeat, a breath of air, to facilitate the Life of the Divine Will in my soul. And I was praying Jesus to teach me how to find It in all things, so that Its perennial Life would never be lacking in me.

And my highest Good, Jesus, with all goodness, told me: “My daughter, one who does my Will and lives in It forms in her soul the book of the Divine Fiat. But this book must be full, not empty or with only a few pages written; if it is not full, she will soon finish reading it, and having nothing to read, she will occupy herself with something else, and therefore the Life of my Divine Will will be interrupted and as though broken in the creature.

On the other hand, if it is full, she will have always something to read; and if it seems that it ends, I will add other pages more sublime, so that she may never lack the life, the knowledge ever new, and the substantial nourishment of my Divine Volition.”
