Romans 14:8:
“If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”

BOH VOL 32 Aug. 13, 1933
“My blessed daughter, I could say it is a delirium, a divine passion of my Will – wanting to live life together with the creature, giving Its own life in exchange for the human littleness. But do you know
why? You must know that my Divine Volition keeps, ever ready, a new act to give to the creature; but if she does not live with It, she does not acquire the habit of doing her acts united with my Volition in order to make of them one single act; and so It cannot give it – first, because she would not be worthy to receive it; second, because she would not understand the value of the great gift that she is receiving, and would not have the virtue of absorbing it into herself as her own life.
By living together with my Divine Will, one acquires new life, divine ways, celestial science, penetration of the most profound things. In sum, since my Fiat is the Teacher of teachers, and the One who creates the highest science, It makes things known, not veiled, but as they are in reality.
Therefore, in living together with the creature, It does not want to keep her ignorant, but It instructs her, It gives her Its surprises, It narrates to her Its divine story; and this transforms her and renders her capable of receiving Its new act, which my Will wants to give her; and the soul, in each act that she does united with It, acquires a new prerogative of divine likeness.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“Holy Mama, oh! how fortunate You are. You are the true blessed one among all women. O please! for the sake of those joys which You experienced when You pressed Jesus to your breast and gave Him your first kiss, I pray You to let me hold little Jesus in my arms for a few instants, that I may give Him contentment by saying to Him that I swear to love Him always – always, and that I want to know nothing but His Divine Will.”
