PROVERBS 2: 3-5
“Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God.

July 5. “May the Divine Volition reward you by making you know Its Divine Will, because Its life grows in us as we get to know It. A good cannot be possessed if it is not known.”

How knowledge opens all the doors between God and the creature.
“My daughter, everybody lives in my Will. If they did not, they just wouldn’t find a space in which to live. But, who feels our Divine Life? Who feels surrounded by our sanctity? Who feels the joy of being touched by our creative hands to be embellished from our very beauty? Who feels drowned inside our love? The one who wants to live in our Will.
Not the one who is there by necessity of Creation, merely because of our immensity which involves everything and everyone. These creatures are there without knowing us, like real usurpers of our goods; like ungrateful, children of their Father.
Because they do not know us, they do not love us. They cannot find in themselves a place for our sanctity – our love. Their souls are incapable of receiving our ever increasing beauty. They give us nothing, not even our rights as Creator, and while they live together in our Divine sea, they are as if far away from us. By not knowing us, they build the bars, they shut the doors: they have broken any communication between them and Us.
It is knowledge which is the first joining link between them and us. It is wanting to live in our Will that takes away the bars and opens the doors, to let them come into our arms and delight with us. It is loving us that makes us pour rivers of our love and graces, to the point of covering them with our divine qualities. Without the knowledge, we cannot give anything, either can they receive.
One who lives in our Will, instead knows us. As she enters It, she gives her kiss to her Daddy, she hugs us and surrounds us with her little love so we give her our seas of love, and she exchanges her kisses with all Heaven. We can say that the celebrations are opened between us – between Heaven and earth. We Ourselves call her blessed and we tell her:
“You are the most happy and fortunate creature, because you live in our love, covered by our arms and under the rain of our graces.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“I do my round in the acts of the Divine Fiat, and I accompany the prophets when the Divine Volition manifested Itself to them – the how and the when of the coming of the future Redeemer – and the prophets longed for Him with tears, prayers and penances, I make everything they did my own, because all this was the fruits of the Eternal Divine Fiat, I offer it in order to impetrate Its Kingdom upon earth.”
