*1 THESSALONIANS 5:23-24*

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.”

“Good daughter, the great good of living of a Divine Volition is amazing and almost incomprehensible for the human creature. You must know that everything good, holy, that is done in my Divine Will is nothing other than seeds that germinate in the field of the soul, placing as though many seeds of divine light, which set a beginning that will have no end.

In fact, everything that is done in my Divine Will is sown, germinates, grows in an admirable way on earth, while one is living, but the completion will be formed in Heaven; the final development, the variety of the beauties, the shades, the most beautiful and striking tints, will be given to her in the Celestial Fatherland.

So, each act done on earth will be like taking more room in Heaven, one additional right, and an advanced possession of the celestial dwelling. For each additional act that she has done, the creature will bring with herself new beatitudes, new joys, communicated to her by my Will.

My Divine Fiat never says “enough‟ to the creature; It wants to make her grow in sanctity, in grace, in beauty, unto her last breath of life down here, and therefore It reserves for Itself to give the final brush stroke and completion, as Its full triumph, in the celestial regions.

Therefore, in my Will there are no stops; and the circumstances of life – now of pains, now of humiliations, and now of glory – form the runs, in order to always run in It, to give It free field to let It sow new divine seeds in the creature, which the Divine Fiat will take charge of cultivating and making grow in an admirable way, and of giving them completion in the celestial glory.

Therefore, in Heaven nothing begins, but everything begins on earth – and Heaven completes.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY:*

” My Jesus, You are always here, may I always act together with You. May I never do it by myself. Without You, I wouldn’t know how to do it the way You would. You would remain with the pain of having been put aside, while I would remain with the sorrow of not having in my acts the value of one single act of a Divine Will.‟
