BOH VOL 29 May 10, 1931
“Now, my daughter, to give and to receive are first and indispensable acts which, in clear notes, indicate that We love the creature and that she loves Us. But this is not enough – one must know how to receive by converting the good received into one’s nature, by eating it and masticating it thoroughly, in such a way as to convert the gift into the soul’s blood.
This is Our purpose in giving Our gifts – wanting to see the gift We gave converted into her nature, because then are Our gifts not in danger, and We dispose Ourselves to give greater gifts; and the creature, having converted it into her nature, places Our gift in safety, becomes the possessor of it, and will feel within herself the good, the fount, and the good received converted into her nature.
And since Our gifts are bearers of peace, of happiness, of invincible strength, of celestial air, she will feel within herself the nature of peace, of happiness, of divine strength, which will form in her the air of Heaven. This is the reason why, when I give you the great gift of my word, then I remain silent; it is because I am waiting for you to nourish yourself and masticate my word well, in such a way as to see in you, changed into your nature, that which I have told you.
And when I see this, then I feel the irresistible need of love to speak to you again, because one gift of mine calls for
another, nor can they remain alone, and I have always something to give – always something to say and to do with one who converts my gifts into her nature.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“Holy Mama, how I must thank You for wanting to place the Celestial Baby into my heart – how happy I am. O please! I pray You to hide me under your mantle, that I may see nothing but the Baby who is inside my heart; and forming of all my being one single act of love of Divine Will, I may make Him grow so much, to the point of filling myself completely with Jesus, and nothing may be left of me but the veil that hides Him.”
