*ROMANS 12:1-2*
“Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God…
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the Will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

“My daughter, the creature was created by Us fully in order with Us, therefore it is her sacrosanct duty, in everything she does, to call the One who created her, to give Him dominion and the royal place that is due to Him by right inside her act. In this way would the act of the creature receive the honor of possessing within itself a strength, a light, an act, which are Divine. It is Our Will for her to be filled completely with the Divine Being; and if she does not do so, she denies a right of Ours, she puts Us out of her acts; and her acts remain as human acts emptied of divine strength and light, with such thick darkness that her intelligence sees many black shadows, such that only gropingly can she take a few steps. Just pain, for one who can turn on the light but does not do it, one who can call upon strength and does not call; and while still making use of the preserving and acting act and work of God, she puts it out of her act.
Now, it is Our decree that no one can enter into Heaven if his soul is not filled up to the brim, all with Our Will and Our love a little void of these is enough for Heaven not to open to the creature. Here then, the necessity of Purgatory – to be emptied, by dint of pains and of fire, of everything that is human, and be filled, by dint of longing, of yearning and of martyrdoms, with pure love and with Divine Will, so as to be able to enter the Celestial Fatherland; but still, without acquiring, in spite of so many pains, either any merit or any additional glory, but only to meet the necessary condition in order to be admitted into the Celestial dwelling.
On the other hand, had they done this on earth, by calling Our life in all their acts, each act would be a greater glory, one more beauty, sealed by the works of their Creator. Oh! with how much love are these souls received, who in their acts have given the place to the divine act. In meeting with Us, We recognize Ourselves in the creature, and she recognizes herself in Us; and recognizing each other, the happiness on both sides is such and so great, that the whole of Heaven remains astounded in seeing the joys, the glory, the beatitudes that the Supreme Being pours over this fortunate creature.”
