PICCARRETA:
Sept. 11. “Place everything in the hands of God, and He will take care of your destiny. Do not get discouraged; be good. Never leave prayer; it is our refuge, the gate to Heaven, the path and the key which opens the doors of all graces for us.”

BOH VOL 35 Sept. 26, 1937
“Our Divine Will wants to be the life of the creature – the greatest act, the most exuberant love, which only a God can do. Now, in order to be possessed by her, our Will donates to her Its virtue of prayer; and she takes the lead to confirm the gift, making all created things pray. She imposes herself on our Love, Power and Goodness, making our Love, Power and Goodness pray. And all our Attributes pray; even our Justice, Mercy and Fortitude turn into prayer. No one can miss.
Whenever our Will wants us to do an act or to give a gift, we all bend our knees to do what It wants. When all have prayed – even our very Divine Attributes – We confirm the gift. The prayer of this creature becomes universal, and each time she prays, she has such power that all our things pray – even our Attributes. She has been given, with that gift, the right over all.
What couldn’t be obtained with this gift of prayer? We can say that the Heavens move, and that our very Being feels enthralled and tied – so It surrenders.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My beloved Jesus, I do my round in Creation in order to trace all the acts of Your Divine Volition, to make them mine, hug them, adore them, and place my little I love You, in recognition of how much Your Divine Will loved me, and did for me and for all. Oh, how many surprises, how many new things can be understood! How many divine secrets of their Creator, the created things contain!”
