*1 JOHN 3:6:*

“No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.”

Jan. 11. “If you sin and are not holy, do you want to know the cause? Lack of union with Jesus.”

“Such are the souls who have reached union with Me: the warmth of my union dispels from them the cold of human inclinations which, like cold, renders them sterile and stripped of leaves and of divine fruits. The frosts of passions, the snows of disturbances, block the fruits of Grace in the soul.

But since they remain in the shadow of their union with Me, nothing makes an impression on them any more, nothing enters into their interior which may disturb our union and our rest; the whole of their lives turns within my center.

So, their inclination, their passion, is for God; and if sometimes there is a little break, it is nothing but a simple hiding of Myself in order to give them a surprise of greater consolations, and therefore be able to enjoy in them more delicious fruits of patience and of heroism, which they have exercised during my hiding.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY:*

“My Jesus, since You are raising me in Your Will, O please! I do not want ever to give You this sorrow, so piercing, of going out of the unity of the light of the Supreme Fiat. I promise You – I swear that I will always be the newborn of Your Will.”
