“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

One who lives in the Divine Will belongs to the Divine Family.
Though I felt abandoned in the Divine Fiat, I also felt all annihilated, but so much, that I saw myself as smaller than an atom; and I thought to myself: “How miserable, small and insignificant I am.‟
And my adorable Jesus, interrupting my thought, making Himself felt and seen, told me: “My daughter! whether small or great, you belong to Our Divine Family; you are a member of It, and this is enough for you. Even more, it is everything for you, and is the greatest glory and honor you could possess.”
And I: “My Love, we have all come out of You, and we all belong to You, therefore it is no wonder that I belong to You.‟
And Jesus: “Indeed everyone belongs to Me by bonds of creation, but there is great difference from one who belongs to Me not only by bonds of creation, but with bond of fusion of wills – that is, Mine is her sole and only will. I can say that these belong to Me with bonds of true Family of Ours, because the will is the most intimate thing that can exist, both in God and in the creature; it is the essential part of life, it is the director, it is the dominator that has the virtue of binding, with inseparable bonds, God and the creature; and from this inseparability it can be recognized that she belongs to Our Divine Family.”
