The happiness of Jesus is to find His creature in the Divine Will.
“My daughter, how sweet it is for Me to find you in my Divine Will – and not like those creatures who are in It by force, by necessity, and because they cannot do without It; and while they are in It, they do not know It, nor do they love It or appreciate It.
But in finding you, I find you voluntarily; you know It and love It, and you reach the point of finding your sweet rest. I feel so drawn toward you; more so, since the very power of my Will imposes itself on your Jesus, to reveal Myself; and I am unable to deny anything to it, because I could say that the only happiness that comes to Me from the earth is to find the creature in my Divine Will;
And when I find her, I want to repay her of the happiness that she gives Me – first, by rendering her happy; and then, by preparing her and disposing her to do an act in my Will. I prepare the space for it, because the greatness, the sanctity, the power that an act done in It contains, is so great, that the creature could not contain it if I did not give her the capacity.
Therefore, one who lives in my Will is inseparable from Me, because while she has done one act, I must prepare her for the next act; more so, since I never leave the creature at one point, but I make her always grow, until I am able to say:
“I have no more to give her; I am content for I have given her everything.‟

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Jesus, I abandon myself in Your Divine Volition, and my mind pauses now at one point, now at another, to take rest in each effect of Your Divine Will. Though Its act is one, Its effects are innumerable, so much so, that I never arrive at finding them all – much less at comprehending them; and therefore, seeing that it is not given to me to embrace them all, being too little, I pause in one of Its effects, to enjoy it and rest. May You, sweet Jesus, take pleasure in finding me in Your adorable Will, as I pause in order to breathe It as life.”
