*BOH VOL 20 Sept. 26, 1926*
“My daughter, wherever my Will is present, everything is sanctity, everything is love, everything is prayer. So, since Its fount is in you, your thoughts, your gazes, your words, your heartbeat and also your movements – everything is love and prayers.
It is not the form of the words that forms prayer – no; it is my operating Will which, dominating all of your being, makes of your thoughts, words, gazes, heartbeats and movements as many little fountains, which spring from the Supreme Will; and rising up to Heaven, in their mute language, some pray, some love, some adore, some bless.
In sum, my Will makes the soul do what is holy – what belongs to the Divine Being.
Therefore, the soul who possesses the Supreme Will as life is the true heaven which, be it even mute, narrates the glory of God and announces itself as the work of His creative hands.
How beautiful it is to see the soul in whom my Will reigns! As she thinks, looks, speaks, palpitates, breathes, moves, she forms the stars to adorn her heaven, to narrate more the glory of the One who created her. My Will embraces everything as though in one breath, and lets nothing of all that is good and holy escape the soul.”

*PRAYER FOR THE DAY:*
“My Jesus, as I do my round in Creation, and as I arrive at the heavens, united with Your Will, I love and glorify Your eternity, Your unshakeable Being that never changes, and I pray that It may render creatures firm in good, that they may be the reflection of the heavens, and may enjoy the happiness brought by a good which is continuous and never interrupted.”
