BOH VOL 27 Oct. 18, 1929
Then, I felt afflicted because of many things which it is not necessary to say on paper; and my adorable Jesus added: “My daughter, courage, I do not want you to afflict yourself. I want to see in your soul the peace and the joy of the Celestial Fatherland; I want your very nature to give of fragrance of Divine Will, which is all peace and happiness. It would feel uncomfortable in you, and as though jeopardized in Its light and happiness, if perennial peace and happiness is not in you.
And then, don’t you know that one who lives in my Divine Fiat forms two arms for herself? One is immutability, the other arm is firmness in operating continuously. With these two arms she keeps God clasped, in such a way that He cannot free Himself from the creature; not only this, but He enjoys her keeping Him clasped to herself.
Therefore, you have no reason to afflict yourself, whatever the circumstances might be, when you have a God who is all your own. So, let your thought be to live in that Fiat that gave you life to form life in you, and I will take care of the rest.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“My Mama, may I pronounce Jesus’ Most Holy Name always. When I see that my human will, weak, vacillating, hesitates in doing the Divine, may the Name of Jesus make it rise again for me in the Divine Fiat. If I am oppressed, I will call upon Jesus; if I work, I will call upon Jesus; if I sleep, I will call upon Jesus; and when I wake up, may my first word be “Jesus”, a Name that contains seas of grace.”
