1 Peter 4:11
“Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ.”

PICCARRETA:
June 22: “Let us pray, let us do this Will so Holy and let us live in It. May It be our breath and heartbeat. If we do so, we will be carried in the divine arms; It will lower Itself to breathe in our breathing, to beat in our heartbeat, to move in our motion. Then, in the ardor of our love, we will say to Him: “I love You for all, and for love of You, I give You the heartbeat, the breath, the motion of all.”

BOH Volume 36, April 15, 1938
“Now, you have to know that as the soul enters my Divine Will, she breathes, palpitates and moves in our motion; but she does not lose her own breath, heartbeat and motion, although it is never detached from ours. Since our Will is everywhere and circulates more than the breathing, heartbeat and motion of all, then, what happens?
The Angels and the Saints, our very Divinity, and the whole creation, together with my Will, feel the breathing and the heartbeat of the creature within them. They all feel her moving inside, even to the center of their souls. They are full of happiness, of new unspeakable joys, which the pilgrim soul brings to each Blessed; since this soul is not enjoying – but suffering and conquering with her free will. It is merely by breathing, palpitating and moving, in the fullness of joy that the soul, always united to my Will, brings ever new joys from breathing in her own will. And since it is the free will that forms the conquering act of the creature, she gives me this new conquering flavor.
Oh, how happy the Blessed, our own Divinity, and the whole Creation remain and in an emphasis of love and fullness of joy they say: ‘Who is breathing, palpitating and moving in us? Who, from the earth, is bringing the conquering act of pure joys of new love, that we do not have in Heaven, and that makes us so happy increasing in us our reciprocating love?”
And all in chorus: ‘It is a soul who lives in the Divine Will on earth.’ What prodigies! what wonders! how enchanting the scenes! a breathing that breathes in all, even in its Creator – that moves in all, even through Heaven, in the stars, in the Sun, in the air, in the wind, in the ocean. It takes everything in hand in its own motion, and gives to God love and adoration – all that everyone should give but has never given. She gives to all her God – His love, His Will; and she brings everything to God – and God to everybody.”
