JOHN 5:30:
“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.”

Dec. 1. “As many times as you do the Will of God instead of doing your own, so many times you will be able to say:
_“I am martyr for You; the martyrdom I offer You is not of blood or of flesh, but with my will united to Yours, I offer You a divine martyrdom.”_

“Listen, my daughter, to live in my Will surpasses even martyrdom in merit. Martyrdom kills the body, but living in my Will is like a divine hand that kills one’s will, and gives one the nobility of a divine martyrdom.
And every time the soul decides to live in my Will, my Volition prepares the blow in order to kill the human will, and forms the noble martyrdom of the soul.
In fact, human will and Divine Will do not bond together – one has to give the place to the Other, and the human will must content itself with remaining extinguished under the power of the Divine Will.
So, every time you dispose yourself to live in my Volition, you dispose yourself to undergo the martyrdom of your will.
See, then, what it means to fuse oneself in my Will: it is to be the continuous martyr of my Supreme Will.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Jesus, may You call me to the state of victim, to the crucifixion, not of hands and feet, as it is not enough to make Your Kingdom come out, but the complete and continuous crucifixion of Your Will in my whole being – that my will may undergo the continuous crucifixion of Yours, in order for You to issue the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.”
