John 15:5
“I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.”

PICCARRETA:
July 28. “Every additional act we do – may it be even little and natural – increases in us new divine likeness, new love, new sanctity, new beauty. On the other hand, every act – may it be even a great one – which does not have the Life of the Divine Will as foundation, takes us away from His likeness, reduces love, fades Its beauty, closes Heaven to all goods, and forms the sorrow of God.”

BOH Volume 20, November 4, 1926
My Will does not know how to do small things, but all great.
And this is so true, that it was enough for Us to open Our mouth to say “Fiat” in order to extend a heaven whose boundaries cannot be seen; one “Fiat” to form a sun that fills the whole earth with light; and many other things.
This says in clear notes that if my Will operates or invests an atom, a little act, that atom, that little act, becomes sea;
and if It bends down to do small things, It makes up for them with Its regenerative virtue, making of them such a great number that man cannot arrive at counting them all.
Who can arrive at counting how many fish and how many species are in the sea? How many birds, how many plants fill the earth? Therefore, the little “I love You” in my Will becomes sea of love; the little prayer turns into sea of prayer, the “I adore You” into sea of adoration, the little pains into sea of pains.
And if the soul repeats her “I love You”, her adoration, her prayers in my Volition, and suffers in It, my Will rises, forming gigantic waves of love, of prayers and of pains, which go to unload themselves into the unending sea of the Eternal One, in such a way as to place the love of God and that of the creature in common, because one is the Will of both One and the other.
Therefore, one who lets herself be dominated by my Will possesses as many seas for as many acts as she does in It; and while she does little, she has much. She has a Divine Volition which delights in making of the little act of the creature a sea; and only with these seas can she impetrate the longed for Kingdom of the Divine Fiat.
This is why Our newborn, the little daughter of my Will, was needed, so that, turning her little pains, her “I love You” and everything she does into seas that communicate with the sea of the Eternal One, she can have ascendancy to impetrate the Kingdom of my Will.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Love, Jesus, I place the army of all your acts around You; and investing your words, your heartbeats, your steps, your pains and all your acts with my “I love You”, I ask You for the Kingdom of your Will.
Hear, O Jesus – if You do not listen to me by means of the army of your acts, which pray You, which press You, what else could I do to move You to grant me a Kingdom so holy?”
