*EPHESIANS 2:10*
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

“My daughter, the littlest motion, even the littlest breath done in the Divine Will, is all of God; and because it is His own, He finds in it everything that is His. In the act done in my Divine Fiat He finds divine sanctity, He finds His light, He finds His goodness, His love, His power; that act lacks nothing of what belongs to God. Therefore, they can be called divine acts, which are the most beautiful, the holiest and the most welcome; and before these acts, all other acts, as good as they may be, lose their value, their taste, and can never please Me.
It happens as to a lord, who is extremely rich; he possesses riches, gardens, farms with the most beautiful fruits, which no one can equal. Now, since this lord knows that no one else has fruits and good things like his own, if his sons or his servants bring him the fruits of his own gardens, he appreciates them, he enjoys them with love, eating of them to his fill; but if they bring him fruits from someone else’s farms, he will not enjoy them, because he will immediately notice the great difference; he will find them defective, unripe and disgusting, and will lament to his own for they dared to bring him things and fruits which are not his.
The same happens to Us: everything that is done in Our Divine Will is Our own – the fruits of Our boundless farms; and because they are Our own things, We find nothing in them which is unworthy of Our Divinity; and therefore We take all delights in receiving them.
On the other hand, what is done outside of Our Divine Will is something extraneous to Us, it lacks the divine imprint, it is without the fullness of tastes, of light, of sanctity, of sweetness. Even in the most good things, the human will always puts the unripe part, which ruins the taste of the most beautiful things; and so, seeing that those are not things from Our farms, the fruits of Our Divine Will, We put them aside, and many times We do not even look at them.
Therefore, I recommend to you: let nothing escape you which does enter the light of my Supreme Fiat, so that everything may be Our own and highly pleasing to Us.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY:*
“My Jesus, fusing myself in Your Will, I place the whole of this Will of Yours on my lap, and though it is one, I bring Its divinizing act to each creature; and reuniting all these acts of Your Will together, I bring them before the Supreme Majesty, to requite them with my will together with Yours, with my love, redoing all the acts opposite those of creatures.”
