Hebrews 6:10
“For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.”

PICCARRETA:
July 30. “If God receives, He gives. He rewards even one thought of ours, one sigh, one movement done to fulfill His Will. And He says: “The creature has sighed to do my Will; I must pay her.” And do you want to know what pay He gives us? An imperturbable peace, a strength which is such as to be able to bear anything.”

BOH VOL 32 Oct.1, 1933
“You must know that one who does my Divine Will and allows Its life to flow within her acts, continuously calls God and all His attributes, and God feels constantly called by the creature.
Now she calls Him for she wants His power, now because she wants His love, now because she wants His sanctity, His light, His goodness, His imperturbable peace.
In sum, she calls Him constantly for she wants of His own, and God is always there waiting for her, to give her what she asks for; and in order to requite her, He feels called and He calls her to give her confidence and say to her: “What else do you want of my Divine Being?
Take whatever you want; or rather, as you call Me, I already prepare for you my power, my love, my light, my sanctity, which are needed in your act.”
So, God calls the soul and the soul calls God, and this continuous calling of each other -in order to ask and receive, and for God to give – forms the life of my Will in the creature, matures it, makes it grow, and forms the sweet enchantment of her very Creator.
A continued act encloses such power, that God cannot unbind Himself from the creature, nor can she from God; on the contrary, they feel the irresistible need to remain clasped to each other; and only my Will knows how to produce these continuous acts that never cease and form the true character of the living in my Will. On the other hand, a mutable character, a fragmented operating, is the true sign of the living of human volition, which knows not how to give either firmness, or peace, and is capable of producing nothing but thorns and bitternesses.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My dearest Jesus, may Your Divine Volition never leave me; May it remain always inside and outside of me, as though in act of surprising me, so as to place lts act in everything I do -whether I pray, I suffer, I work… And even if I sleep, may it give me lts divine rest in my sleep.
May it always keep me busy, and in each thing, may it call me by saying to me: “Let me descend unto the lowness of your acts, and I will make you ascend up to the highness of mine; and we will start a contest -you, in ascending, l, in descending.”
