2 Corinthians 4:15
“For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.”

PICCARRETA:
July 2. “The Sun never says a word; It allows Its light to be trodden by our steps; It follows us everywhere, and all the glory and honor is of God, who made It Sun. Such is the soul who lives in the Divine Will, whom the Lord uses to do good to all, and from whom He receives glory and honor, as if all had loved Him.”

“Therefore, place your thoughts, your words, your heartbeats, your pains – your whole being, in circulation within my Will; leave nothing inside yourself, so that with the passport of the light of my Will and with my divine virtue, you may enter into each act of creature and may multiply my Life in each one of them. Oh! how happy I will be in seeing that, by virtue of my Will, the creature fills Heaven and earth with as many Lives of Mine for as many existing creatures.”
So I abandoned myself in the Supreme Volition, and going around within It, I made my thoughts, my words, my reparations, etc., flow through each created intelligence and in all the rest of the human works; and as I did my acts, Jesus was formed. Oh! how beautiful and enchanting it was to see many Jesuses wherever the passport of the light of the Eternal Will passed by!
Then, afterwards, I found myself inside myself, and I found Jesus clinging to my neck, and clasping the whole of me, He seemed to be making feast, as if I were the cause of the multiplication of His Life, to give Him the honor and the glory of as many Divine Lives.
So I said to Him: “My Love, it does not seem real to me that I could multiply your Life, to give you the great honor of so many Divine Lives. And besides, You are present everywhere, therefore it is by virtue of Yourself that this Life arises in each act – not because of me. I remain always the little child who is good at nothing.‟
And Jesus: “My daughter, everything you say is true – I am everywhere; but it is my power, immensity and all-seeingness that allows Me to be everywhere, it is not the love and the acting of the creature in my Will that makes Me be everywhere and multiplies Me. But when the soul enters into my Will, it is her love – it is her acts that, being filled with divine virtue, make my Life arise, according to how her acts are more or less extended and are done.
This is the reason for my feast in seeing that the creature takes of my own and gives Me my love, my glory, and even my very Life. My contentment is so great that it is not given to the creature to comprehend it while she lives in the exile; but she will comprehend it in the Celestial Fatherland, when she sees herself repaid with as many Divine Lives for as many as she formed upon earth.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Jesus, bless my heart, my heartbeats, my affections, my words, my thoughts, and even my tiniest movement, so that, through Your blessing, all of them may be invested by a divine virtue; in such a way that, on entering Your Will, by virtue of Your blessing, they may bring this divine virtue with them, and may have the power to diffuse in all, to give themselves to all, and to multiply You for each one, so as to give You the love and the glory as if all had Your Life within them.”
