Then, I was thinking to myself: “My God, who could ever repay You for your great love? Ah, maybe only the Queen of Heaven can claim the merit of having repaid her Creator in love… And I? And I…?‟ I felt oppressed.
And my always adorable Jesus, making His short little visit, all goodness said: “Daughter of my Will, don’t worry. For the soul who lives in my Will there is perfect harmony in love. By possessing Its Life in the creature, my Will redoubles Its Love; so when It wants to love, It loves within Itself and within the soul, since It possesses her Life.
In my Will, love is in perfect harmony – joys and happiness of pure Love are always in full force. Our Paternal Goodness for the soul who lives in our Will is so great that we count her breaths, heartbeats, thoughts, words and movements, to return them with our own and fill them up with love. In our emphasis of love we say to this creature:
“_She loves Us and We must love her.‟_
And while we love her, we show off such gifts and graces as to astonish Heaven and earth.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“I want to enter into the sun in order to empty it of the love that God placed in it for love of creatures, and on the wings of its light bring it back to my Creator as requital of my love.
I want to empty the wind, to bring back to Him the requital of the mighty love, of the moaning, ruling love, that it may rule over the Divine Heart and snatch from It the Kingdom of the Divine Will upon earth.
I want to empty the heavens of the love they contain, to bring back to Him the love that never ends, that never says “enough‟, so as to take Him from all sides and bring Him the requital of loving Him everywhere and in everyone.‟
