ROMANS 8:17:
“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”

PICCARRETA:
July 7. “Dear Jesus, in order to give us His likeness, creates pain by the touch of His paternal fingers, and makes the most beautiful pearls, the most refulgent suns, the most expensive diamonds come out from it; and He gives us His most ardent kisses and the tightest hugs.”

BOH VOL 24 Sept. 8, 1928
After this, I was thinking to myself: “How many sacrifices are needed for this Kingdom of the Fiat: sacrifice of writing, sacrifice of rest and of sleep, sufferings, incessant prayers, continuous death to the human volition so that the Divine may have perennial life; and many other things that only Jesus knows. And after all this, maybe nothing good will be seen – no glory to God. Therefore, so many sacrifices without utility and without effects.‟
But while I was thinking of this, my always lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and clasping me in His arms, told me:
“My daughter, what are you saying? There is not one sacrifice you have made which will not have its value, its precious effects, because everything that is done in my Will, and to impetrate that It be known, acquires divine life and communicative virtue as its nature, in such a way as to communicate to others the divine life and the virtue it possesses; so much so, that everything you have done and suffered is present at this moment before God in impetrative act, to obtain that creatures dispose themselves, and that God concede a good so great.
Then, when my Will becomes known and Its Kingdom is accomplished, all the words you have written, the night vigils, your incessant prayers, your rounds upon rounds in the work of Creation and Redemption, your long years of bed, your pains and sacrifices, will then shine like sun’s rays, like diamonds and precious stones of infinite value which, little by little, those who will have the great good of knowing my Will, and of living in Its Kingdom, will recognize.
Even more, they will know that the foundations bejeweled, the factories raised, are cemented with the many sacrifices of the one to whom the mission of making known the Kingdom of my Will was entrusted. Everything will be known in clear notes, also those who have contributed, who have directed you, who have commanded you to writeÿ and have interested themselves with making known, with words or with writings, that which regards my Divine Fiat.
And this is nothing; all the good that those who will possess the Kingdom of my Fiat will do, the glory that they will give Me, will descend and ascend again into the ones who have been the origin and the cause of a good so great. And even if you are in Heaven, the communicative virtue of my Will which has lived life in you on earth, will place you in communication; it will keep all the ways open between you and them.
So, your life and everything you have done and suffered will be in their midst; and everything they will do will have its origin in you, because one is the Divine Will of one and of the other. And if you knew the glory, the contentments, the delights that will come to you, you would love to sacrifice yourself more, so that my ÿoʻmm be known and dominate in the midst of creatures.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“O my Jesus, may your love bind my heart, so that, burned by your fire, I may feel the love that You Yourself had for souls. When I suffer sorrows, pains and bitternesses, then pour out your Justice upon me, O Jesus, and take the satisfaction You want. But may the sinner be saved.
O Jesus; may my pains be the bond which binds You and the sinner; and may my soul receive the consolation of seeing your Justice satisfied.”
