1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20:

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body”.

Piccaretta

Sep. 4.  We are temples of God. And with God in our hearts, what can we lack?

“Now you must know that the soul in Grace is the Temple of God, however when the soul lives in Our Will, God makes himself the Temple of the soul, and oh, the great difference between the creature, Temple of God, and God, Temple of the soul.

The first one is a temple exposed to perils, to enemies, subject to passions. Many times Our Supreme Being finds Itself in these temples as in temples of stone, not cared for, not loved as is befitting it, and the little lamp of her continuous love, that she must have as homage to her God who resides in her, without pure oil, is extinguished.

And if she were to fall into grave sin, Our temple collapses and becomes occupied by thieves, Ours and her enemies, that profane her and ruin it.

The second Temple, that is God, Temple of the soul, is not exposed to dangers, the enemies cannot draw near, the passions lose life. The soul in this Divine Temple of Ours is like the little Host that holds her Jesus consecrated in It, such that with the perennial love that she draws, she receives and is fed, she forms the little living lamp, that always burns, without ever going out.

This Temple of ours occupies its Royal Palace, Its Volition is complete, and she is Our glory and Our Triumph. And what does the little Host do in this Temple of Ours? She prays, she loves, she lives of Divine Will, she substitutes for my Humanity on earth, she takes My place of sufferings, she calls the whole army of Our Works to make a cortege for Us. She holds Creation, and Redemption as hers, and acts as commander over them; and now she places them as army around Us in the act of prayer, of adoration, now as army in the act of loving Us and glorifying Us.

But she is always at the head to make Our Works do what she wants, and she always ends with her little refrain so pleasing to Us: “Your Volition be known, loved and reign and dominate in the whole world.”

“My beautiful Mama, oh! Don’t detach me from your bosom of light so that I can feel your life in me, that brushing me continually makes me know how much you love me, who you are and how very beautiful, amiable and adorable you are.”
