“My daughter, how much you must thank me for all that I have disposed for you,
and for all that I made you suffer. Everything served to form my Life in you, as well as the triumph of my Will.
What a fortune for the creature, seeing that her pains served my Life, so Holy, which will have, as fulfillment, my Divine Will palpitating within her! Do you think it’s trivial that the Creator shows His need for the creature; He, Who is omnipotent and gives life to all? Isn’t this the greatest excess of our Love? Jesus remained silent.
I remained thinking about what He had just told me, and I saw all my pains lined up within me, spreading rays of light, being transformed into the pains of Jesus, forming the divine support and the defense for the creature asking, with continuous voices and moans, that the Divine Will may come to reign.”‘

*PRAYER OF THE DAY
“My Jesus, in your Fiat You gave me all this love, and only in the Fiat can I return it to You. I look at the stars and I see the Fiat in them; and in their sweet and meek twinkling, this Fiat brought me the pacific love, the sweet love, the hidden love, the compassionate love in the very night of sin.
And, in the Fiat of the stars, I bring to the throne of the Eternal One, in the name of all, the pacific love, in order to put peace between Heaven and earth, the sweet love of the loving souls, the hidden love of many others, the love of the creatures when, after sin, they return to God.”
