JOHN 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.”

In order to forget herself, the soul must do everything, not only because Jesus wants it, but because Jesus Himself wants to do it in her.
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, in order to forget herself, the soul should make it in such a way that everything she does, and which is necessary to her, she does as if I Myself wanted to do it in her.
If she prays, she should say: “It is Jesus who wants to pray”; and I pray together with her. If she has to work:
“It is Jesus who wants to work‟. “It is Jesus who wants to walk; it is Jesus who wants to take food, who wants to sleep, who wants to get up, who wants to enjoy Himself…‟, and so with all the other things of life.
Only in this way can the soul forget herself, because she will do everything, not only because I want it, but because I Myself want to do it – it is necessary precisely to Me.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My Jesus, I am unable to do anything, or say anything, therefore I feel the great need to do what You do, and to repeat your own words. In your Will I find, present and as though in act, the acts You did in receiving Yourself in the Sacrament, I make them my own, and I repeat them for You.‟
