MICAH 6: 8
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”.

Why Jesus can never be pleased with acts done outside of His Will.
“My daughter, how sweet it is for Me to see, to hear, the soul in my Will. Without realizing it, she finds herself at the heights of my acts, of my prayers, of the way I acted when I was on this earth. She places herself almost at my level. In my littlest acts, I enclosed all creatures, past, present and future, in order to offer to the Father complete acts in the name of all creatures.
Not even one breath of creatures escaped Me, which I did not enclose in Me; otherwise, the Father could have raised exceptions in recognizing the creatures, and all the acts of creatures.
In fact, as they would not have been done by Me and come out of Me, He could have said to Me: “You have not done everything, and for everyone; your work is not complete. Nor can I recognize all, because You have not reincorporated all within Yourself; and I want to know only what You have done.‟ Therefore, in the immensity of my Will, of my love and power, I did everything, and for everyone.
So, how could other things, outside of my Will, ever please Me, as beautiful as they might be? They are always low, human and finite acts.
Instead, the acts in my Will are noble, divine, without end, infinite – as it is my Volition. They are similar to mine, and I give them the same value, love and power of my own acts; I multiply them in everyone; I extend them to all generations, to all times. What do I care if they are small? They are always my acts being repeated, and that’s enough.
And then, the soul places herself in her true nothingness – not in humility, in which she always feels something of herself. And, as a nothing, she enters into the All, and she operates with Me, in Me and like Me – completely stripped of herself, not caring about merit or self-interest, but all intent only on making Me content, giving Me absolute lordship over her acts, without even wanting to know what I do with them.
Only one thought occupies her: to live in my Will, praying Me to give her the honor. This is why I love her so much, and all my predilections, my love, are for this soul who lives in my Will. And if I love others, it is by virtue of the love which I have for this soul, and which descends from her – just as the Father loves the creatures by virtue of the love He has for Me.”
And I: “How true it is what You say – that in your Will one wants nothing, and wants to know nothing. If one wants to do something, it is because You have done it; one feels the ardent desire to repeat your things. Everything disappears; one does not want to do anything any more.”
And Jesus: “And I make her do everything, and I give her everything.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My dearest Jesus, this little girl wants that the Divine Volition which You so much loved, and which You did during Your whole life upon earth, may make Itself known to all creatures, so that all may love It, and may fulfill Your Will on earth as It is in Heaven.
This little girl wants to conquer You in love, that You may give your Will to all creatures.
O please! make this poor little one happy, who wants nothing else but what You want: that your Will be known and that It reign upon earth.‟
