PICCARRETA:
July 27. “My child, I recommend to you – remain always in the Divine Will. It will take to heart all of our troubles; It will keep us on Its paternal knees, clinging to Its womb of Light, to be our defense, help, refuge and the balm in our sufferings.”

BOH VOL 23 March 8, 1928
“My daughter, Our paternal goodness created man to keep him on Our paternal knees, for Us to enjoy him continuously, and for him to enjoy himself perennially with his Creator.
And so that his enjoyments and Ours might be stable, We kept him on Our paternal knees; and since Our Will was to be his also, It brought the echo of all Our acts into man’s inmost being, whom We loved as Our child.
And Our child, in hearing Our echo, acted as the repeater of the acts of his Creator. What contentments did not form between him and Us, as this creating echo of Ours resounded in Our child’s inmost heart, forming in him the order of Our acts, the harmony of Our joys and happinesses, the image of Our sanctity. What happy times for him and for Us.
But do you know who snatched this child so loved by Us from Our paternal knees? The human will. It took him so far away from Us, that he lost Our creating echo, and no longer knew anything of what his Creator was doing; and We lost the happiness of seeing Our child happy and amusing himself on Our paternal knees, because the echo of his will took over in him, which embittered him, tyrannized him with passions, the most degrading ones, such as to render him so unhappy as to arouse pity.
This is precisely what it means to live in Our Will -to live on Our paternal knees, under Our care, at Our expenses, in the opulence of Our riches, joys and happinesses. If you knew the contentment We feel in seeing the creature living on Our knees, all attentive on hearing the echo of Our word, the echo of Our works, the echo of Our steps, the echo of Our love, to act as the repeater of them, you would be more attentive, so that nothing might escape you of Our echo, to give Us the contentment of seeing your littleness acting as the repeater of the acts of your Creator.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My dearest Jesus, whatever You do by Yourself in Your Will, may You do together with Your little daughter, because, as I give You dominion over everything, everything becomes Your Will. Everything is property of Your Fiat in me; I have nothing left that is my own everything belongs to You; and You, in return, give me what belongs to Your Divine Will.”
