2 CORINTHIANS 13:5
“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize thisabout yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?

Jan. 15. “But do you want to know why you feel the weight of your miseries? Because many times you do not try to be together with Jesus and to convince yourself that He is already with you, and you do not unite the pains of Jesus with yours.”

“My daughter, courage. I do not leave you, I am inside of you, although you do not always see Me. And you – unite yourself always with Me;
if you pray, let your prayer flow in mine, and make it your own. In this way, all that I did with my prayers – the glory I gave to the Father, the good I impetrated for all – you will do as well.
If you work, let your work flow in mine, and make it your own. In this way, you will have in your power all the good that my Humanity did, which sanctified and divinized everything.
If you suffer, let your suffering flow in mine, and make it your own; and in this way you will have in your power all the good that I did in Redemption.
By this, you will take the three essential points of my Life; and as you do so, immense seas of graces will come out of you, which will pour out for the good of all, and I will look at your life, not as your own, but as Mine.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“My Jesus, I clothe myself with everything You Yourself did and suffered, since You gave everything as gift to the creature.
Therefore, my Jesus, I surround my head with Your thorns, I bead my eyes with Your tears, I impregnate my tongue with Your bitterness, I clothe my soul with Your Blood, I adorn myself with Your wounds, I pierce my hands and feet with Your nails, and like another Christ, I present myself before The Divine Majesty.
May this sight move You in such a way that You will not be able to deny anything to the soul who is clothed with Your own insignia.”
