BOH VOL 19 April 9, 1926
I was thinking to myself: “My sweet Jesus says many great, admirable, highest and wonderful things about the Will of God, yet it seems to me that creatures do not have that concept which It deserves, nor that great impression of the wonders which are in It.
On the contrary, it seems that they place It on the same level as the virtues, and maybe they care more about those, than about the Most Holy Will of God.‟
And my always lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, do you want to know why? Because their palates are not purged, and they are accustomed to the ordinary foods of this low world, which are the virtues, and not to the celestial and divine food, which is my Will.
This celestial food is appreciated only by those who consider earth, things, and even people, as nothing, or as fully ordered in God.
The virtues which can be practiced on earth are rarely exempt from human purposes, from self-esteem, from self-glory, love of appearing and of pleasing people. All these aims are like many tastes for the ordinary palate of the soul; and many times one operates more for these tastes than for the good that the virtue contains.
This is why virtues breach more easily – because the human will always gains something.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Mama, since I am feeling so very little and incapable of doing anything, I call on you, my Queen Mama, to my help, so that, together, we might love, adore, glorify my highest and only Good, for all and in the name of all.”
