BOH VOL 30 Dec. 6, 1931
One who does the Divine Will tears the veil that hides her Creator.
“My daughter, how many things do these veils of Our divine qualities hide. But to no one is it given to tear these, Our veils, except to one who does and lives in Our Will. She alone is the fortunate creature who sees her God, not veiled, but as He is in Himself.
And because We are not recognized as We are in Ourselves, they have such low and perhaps even distorted ideas of Our Supreme Being; and this is because, not having Our Will in them, they do not feel within themselves the life of the One who created them. They touch Our veils, but not what is inside, and therefore they feel Our power as oppressive, Our light eclipsing, as though in act of moving them away from Us and putting them at a distance; they feel Our sanctity as veiled, that makes them feel ashamed, and, discouraged, they live immersed in their passions.
But it is all their fault, because there is a sentence pronounced by Us in the terrestrial paradise: “Here one cannot enter – this is a place only for those who do and live in Our Will.‟ And therefore the first creatures were put out, placing an Angel as guard, to prevent their entrance. Our Will is paradise for creatures – terrestrial on earth, and celestial in Heaven, and it can be said that an Angel is placed there to guard It.
One who does not want to do It, and does not want to live in Its arms and live common life in Its house, would be an intruder if he did so – but he cannot do it either, because Our veils become so thick that he would not find the way to get in. And just as an Angel forbids him the entrance, so another Angel guides and gives the hand to one who wants to live of Our Will.
Therefore, content yourself with dying a thousand times rather than not doing Our Will.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“My Mama, may you act as my true Mother and place Jesus in my heart, so as to make Him happy with my love, and to nourish Him with the food of His Will, because He takes no other food. May I clothe Him with the sanctity of my works. And you, my Mama, come into my heart, so that you may raise your dear Son again together with me, and perform the office of Mother for me and for Him; in this way you will feel the pure joys of your maternal fecundity.”
