ROMANS 1:21:
“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened”.

Oct. 7. “How many graces not obtained, how many obstructed sanctities, how many unhappy people, and with no peace, because the primary food of the Fiat is missing – the life of Jesus is missing within us! Here is all the trouble!”

How one who does his own will risks the Divine.
“See, the great necessity to possess our Divine Will and to live in It? With It we can do everything: deliver our most beautiful works; maintain our scope in force; form the Lives of our Being – as many as we want.
Without our Will all is hampered: obstructed, our Love obstructed, our Power arrested, our works. One could say that we remain as a God mute for the creatures. What ingratitude! What a crime, to reduce Us to silence! While we wanted to honor the creatures with our Life in them – as the residences for our delights and wonders, they have rejected us, not giving us the freedom to form that Life.
In our place they gave residence to passions, sin and the most ugly vices.
Poor man, without our Will. Without divine purpose! It would be as if he wanted to live without breath, heartbeat or blood circulation, which are the foundations of human life. What life could he ever have? Wouldn’t that be just like killing himself on the spot?
Such would be our Life in the creature: with no heartbeat, no motion and no word. It would be a tormenting, oppressive life, and he will end up dying.
It is true that we involve everyone with our Power and Immensity – We are in everyone, and everywhere – but lacking our Divine Volition within themselves, they never hear us talking; they understand nothing of our Supreme Being, and even if they live in our immensity it is because no one can escape from Us.
So they don’t feel as though they were Our sons, but as strangers to Us… What pain! Having so many things to say, and being silent! Having the power of doing who knows how many wonders, and not being able to do them because our Will does not reign within them!
And yet, our Love is such that it does not stop. We are all eyes to watch whoever wants to live in our Will; all ears to listen to whoever calls It to live within herself; all love to place our great Love upon the little love of the creature.
As soon as we see her disposed, we form our speaking Life and we tell her the story of our Will – the long story of our eternal Love. How much we love her. How many sighs calling for love…”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My sweetest Jesus, I come into the sun to keep company with Your Will reigning and dominating in it, with all the splendor of lts majesty. But while I keep You company in the sun, I pray You that Your Eternal Fiat be known, and just as It reigns triumphantly in the sun, It may come to reign triumphantly in the midst of creatures.”
