Aug. 1. “Our own nature is formed with many little acts – the breath, the heartbeat, the motion; yet, they form our life. And if we lacked even one breath, our life – we could say – is ended. So we can say if our little acts are not animated by the Will of God.”

How sanctity is formed of little things
This morning my lovable Jesus told me:
“My daughter, sanctity is formed of little things; so, one who despises the little things cannot be holy. It would be like someone who despises the little grains of wheat which, as many of them are united together, form the mass of the wheat; and by neglecting to unite them, he would cause the necessary and daily nourishment for the human life to be lacking.
In the same way, one who neglected to unite many little acts together, would cause the nourishment of sanctity to be lacking; and just as one cannot live without food, in the same way, without the food of the little acts, the true shape of sanctity, and the mass sufficient to form sanctity, would be lacking.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY”
“My Jesus, I fuse all of myself in Your Holy Divine Volition, and as the littleness of my mind wander within It, I see It everywhere and in every place, always in the act of operating in the whole Creation. I want to follow It, in order to give It my little requital of love in everything It is doing; y _”thank Yo”,_ my profound adoration, my meager company.
Your Will is always on the way in the created things, in order to go toward creatures. And in order to fulfill It, to place the final point on the work of Your Will, I take all created things as the fulfillment of Your Will.”
