_The Divine Will, depository of everyone and of everything._
“My blessed daughter, my Divine Will is the depository of everything that has been done by Us, and of everything that the creatures have done. Not even a thought, a word, the greatest works as well as the littlest ones, the steps, the heartbeats, the breaths, the pains – nothing can escape It, everything is deposited in It.
So, everything you do takes its place in my Will; nor can you hide anything, because with Its immensity It envelopes you, with Its power It is the actor of everything you do, and with Its divine rights It is entitled to possess, to know and to preserve the whole operating of the human generations, and to reward them and to chastise them, according to what they deserve.
Its goodness and power together are so great, that just as It does not lose even one star or one drop of light that the sun possesses, or one drop of water from the sea, so does It not lose even one thought of creature. And even if It wanted to lose it, It cannot – Its all-seeingness finds it in act in Its Will.
Oh! if creatures would comprehend that a Divine Will receives in deposit everything they do and think, how careful they would be that everything be holy and upright. And they would call this Supreme Will as life in everything they do, so that their acts might not receive any sinister judgment, because they would be in deposit in the same Divine Volition as acts and effects of It, which no one can dare to judge; and they would be rewarded as acts of a Divine Will operating in the creature.
In addition to this, just as the Divine Will is the depository of everyone and of everything, so is the human will the depository of all the thoughts, words, works, steps, etc., of the creature. It loses nothing of what she does; on the contrary, they form one single thing with it, and each thought, word, pain suffered – everything, remains written and sealed with indelible characters. It can happen that the memory might not retain everything – many things it has forgotten; but the will conceals everything and loses nothing; so, it is the depository and bearer of all her acts.
Therefore, the Divine Will is the depository and bearer of everyone and of everything; the human will is the individual depository and bearer of itself. What triumph will eternally be, what honor and glory, for one who has thought and operated in a saintly way!
And what confusion to one who has deposited in the human will sins, passions, unworthy works, rendering himself, by himself, the bearer of his own evils! And if the evils are very grave, he will be pasture for the infernal flames; and if they are less grave, he will be pasture of the purging flames which, by dint of fire and of pains, will purge that sullied human will, but will not be able to render to it the good, the holy works it has not done.
Therefore, be attentive, because everything is being numbered and written – neither do you nor do We lose anything; even a thought, a word, will have its perennial life, and will be like faithful and inseparable friends of the creature. So, it is necessary for you to form holy and good friends, that they may give you peace, happiness and perennial glory.”

*PRAYER OF THE DAY:*
“My Jesys, may I always be around Your Supreme Fiat. May Its sweet empire, Its powerful attractions, Its kiss of light with which It comes to meet all my acts, be deposited in them, and enclose Itself inside in order to form Its life, which is the sweetest enchantment for my little soul; and amid wonderment and stupefaction, I exclaim:
_”Oh! Divine Will, how much You love me, to the point of lowering Yourself into my little act, to enclose in it your operating life.‟_
