“Such is my Will, which, like capable actor, prepares the most beautiful scenes in order to amuse man in the theater of the whole Creation – not to receive, but to give.
It prepares scenes of light – of the most refulgent; scenes of flowerings and of beauties – the most radiant; scenes of strength in the roaring of the thunder, in the bursting of the thunderbolt, in the continuous rising of the waves, and even on the height of the highest mountains; the most moving scenes of a Baby who cries, shivers, and is numb with cold; sorrowful and tragic scenes of blood, and even of death, in my Passion.
No actor, as capable as he might be, can match Me in the varieties of my loving scenes.
But, alas! how many do not look at my Will in all these scenes, and do not take the substance of the fruit which is in them, and turn the feasts which my Will prepared in Creation and in Redemption into mourning.
Therefore, my daughter, let nothing escape you; take all things as a gift that my Will gives you; whether they are small or great, natural or supernatural, bitter or sweet, let them all enter into you as gifts and as the fulfillment of my Will.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Sovereign Queen, as You conceived in Your most pure womb, The Height of Your Celestial Motherhood provided Your blood, Your love and the Divine Will reigning in You, in order to form the conception of the Word within Yourself.
I too want to provide my love, my pains and the Divine Will reigning in me while You conceive in Your womb, so that I too may place of my own in the conception of Jesus, so as to adore the Eternal Fiat in such a great act, and also so that, since I have given of my own, He may be conceived in me.
It is love that I want to give to Jesus, it is His very Divine Will, for the honor of His conception.”
