“On top of the unceasing love, there is another sign that the soul lives in My Will. This sign reigns inside the soul: the immutability – never moving from good to evil. This can only be of God: a firm, constant character, hard to change in its action; the constancy that only a Divine patience can have – always to repeat an act without ever getting tired; never being bothered – never regretting. It is only of God.
Now, one who lives in our Fiat feels her immutability and is invested by such firmness that she would never change her action – not for Heaven and earth. She would rather die than stop doing and redoing what she does.
Furthermore, everything she does with a firm heart – without ever changing, had its origin in God; so she feels God in her act, and in repeating it, she feels that act flowing and her action animated by God Himself. How can she ever stop doing what she started together with our Supreme Being? She would have to get out of our Will to change action. Our Will is unchanging in Its works, and It renders so, whoever lives in It.
Oh! When one does not live in It, how clearly it shows. Today she wants to do something, tomorrow something else; one time she likes to make a sacrifice, another time she runs away from it. One can’t trust her. She is like a stem that bends following the wind of her passions. The mutability of the human will is such that it reaches the point of making the creature its own toy and perhaps even a toy for the demons themselves.
This is why I call the creature to live in our Will: to be sustained and strengthened, so that she can give honor to our creative work, since only man is voluble, while all our other works never change. Heaven’s place is always fixed, never tiring of its extension. The Sun always runs its course and never changes action in giving light to the earth. The air is always ready to be breathed; all things stay the same and keep doing the same action, the way we created them.
Only man, by not wanting to live in our Divine Will, clashes with the modes of his Creator; he can’t finish his works, so he can’t love or appreciate them – neither can he receive credit for them.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“My beloved Jesus, my poor mind runs, flies in Your Divine Fiat, and if I don’t do this, I feel restless, with no strength, no food, no air to breath. I feel as if I had no feet to walk, no hands to work, no heart to love; so I need to run in the Will of Your Divine Fiat to find Its acts – shaping with these acts, feet that run, hands that operate and enclose everything, a love beyond heart – fed by Eternal love – to love unceasingly.”
