Everything which is not done for the glory of God remains obscured.
As I was in my usual state, I found myself with baby Jesus in my arms in the midst of many people, and He said to me: “My daughter, all the works, words and thoughts of creatures should be sealed with the mark:
“Gloriam Dei, Gloriam Dei.”
And everything which is not sealed with this mark remains obscured and as though buried in darkness, stained, or at the most, as something of no value.
So, the creature does nothing other than pull out darkness and abominable things from herself, because by not operating for the glory of God, the creature runs away from the purpose for which she was created – she is as though lost from God, and left alone with herself.
God alone is light, and it is through God that human actions acquire value.
Now, what is the wonder if the creature, by not operating for His glory, remains buried in her own darkness, and gains nothing from her toils – on the contrary, she loads herself with heavy debts?” To our great bitterness, we looked at all those people as though buried in darkness.

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My beloved Jesus, bless my heart, my heartbeats, my affections, my words, my thoughts, and even my tiniest movement, so that, through Your blessing, all of them may be invested by a divine virtue; in such a way that, on entering Your Will, by virtue of your blessing, they may bring this divine virtue with them, and may have the power to difuse in all, to give themselves to all, and to multiply You for each one, so as to give You the love and the glory as if all had Your Life within them.”
