How peace is the fragrance, the air, the breath of Jesus.
I was concerned about this blessed printing of the Divine Will, and at any cost I would have wanted to prevent some other things that regarded me, and many other things that my beloved Jesus told me, from being printed. I feel a nail driven inside my soul, which embitters me deep into the marrow of my bones.
So, I was thinking to myself: “Blessed Jesus could have spoken of His adorable Will first, and then of all the rest. In this way He would have spared me this sorrow that pierces me so much.‟ But while I was pouring out my bitternesses, my always lovable Jesus, all goodness, clasped me in His arms and told me:
“My daughter, courage, do not lose peace; peace is my fragrance, my air, it is the effect that my breath produces.
So, in the soul in whom there is no peace I do not feel I am in my royal palace – I feel uncomfortable. My very Divine Will, which is peace by nature, finds Itself like the sun when clouds advance against the light and prevent the sun from shining in its fullness over the earth.
It can be said that when the soul is not all peace, whatever the circumstances might be, it is like a rainy day for her, and the Sun of my Will feels as though hindered from communicating to her Its Life, Its heat, Its Light.
Therefore, calm yourself, and don’t form for Me clouds in your soul – they hurt Me, and I cannot say:
“I am in this creature with perennial peace, with my joys, and with my Light of my Celestial Fatherland.‟

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“Dearest Mama, if a blow of wind wants to render me inconstant, may I plunge myself into the sea of the Divine Will, and come to hide on Your lap, my Mama, that You may defend me from the wind of the human will; and holding me tightly in Your arms, render me firm and confident along the path of Its Divine Kingdom.”
