MATTHEW 13:33
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”

“So, be attentive. I watch your steps, your words, the movements of your pupils, your tiniest acts, in order for my Will to have its life – its place. We don’t care whether the act is natural or spiritual, big or small; but we watch attentively to see whether all is ours; whether our Will made arise its Sun of Light, sanctity and love. We use even the most insignificant act to make the most prodigious wonders, forming the most beautiful scenes to keep us all amused.
Didn’t we form the marvelous enchantment of the whole creation from nothing? Wasn’t it from nothing that we created so many harmonies up to our very image, in the Creation of man?
My daughter, if creation had to give us only what is spiritual, that would have been very little. Instead, by giving us also its natural acts, it can always give. We can be in continuous relation and our bond never breaks; more so, since the small things (breathing, moving, helping oneself in little personal things), are always available and within reach; available for the little and the great, for the ignorant and the learned and they never end. If these little things are done to love us they form in themselves the life of the Divine Will; our victory and triumph: the ultimate purpose of their creation.
See, then, how easy it is to live in our Will? The creature doesn’t have to do new things, but just what she always does; that is to say, to live her life as we gave it, but in our Will.”
