Colossians 3:23-24 1:
“Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ.”

PICCARRETA:
June 19: “Let us remain always united in the Divine Will, from which we will draw the strength and the sanctity He wants from us. Our most interesting task is to live of Will of God. If we do this, we do everything.”

BOH Volume 16, November 10, 1923
“My poor little one, what do you fear? Courage, I am the One who will do everything in my little daughter; you will do nothing but follow me faithfully, won’t you? You are right that you are too little and can do nothing, but I will do everything in you. Don’t you see how I am within you, and you are nothing but the shadow that covers Me? I am the One who will cross within you the eternal and unending boundaries of my Will; I, the One who will embrace all generations in order to bring them, together with your shadow, to the feet
of the Eternal One,
so that the two wills, the human and the Divine, may kiss each other, may smile at each other, and may no longer look at each other like strangers, being separated, scowling at each other, but one may be fused within the other, forming one single Will.
It is the power of your Jesus that must do this; you must do nothing but adhere.
I know, I know that you are nothing and can do nothing,
and this is why you afflict yourself; but it is the strength of my arm that wants and can operate, and I like to operate great things in the littlest ones.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
‘Jesus, my Life,
for now let us occupy ourselves with the Kingdom of your Will, so that You may be relieved. I know that giving You field to let You speak about It is your joy, your feast. Therefore, your acts flow with me, within mine, so that, with the light of your Will, more than sun, they may invest all creatures, and I may constitute myself act for each act, thought for each thought. I will enclose everything,
I will take all of their acts as though in my power, in order to do everything that they do not do for You; and in this way, You will find everything in me and your affliction will depart from your Heart.”
