2 CORINTHIANS 4: 17-18
“For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen”.

After this, I felt myself without my Highest Good, Jesus, and I experienced such pain that I am unable to explain it. Then, after much waiting, my dear Life came back, and I said to Him:
“Tell me, my beloved Jesus, why is the pain of your privation always new? As You hide, I feel a new pain arise within my soul – a death more cruel, more harrowing, more than those experienced other times, when You eclipse Yourself from me.‟
And my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, you must know that every time I come to you, I communicate to you a new act of my Divinity; I communicate to you now a new knowledge about my Divine Will, now a new beauty of mine, now a new sanctity of mine, and so with all Our divine qualities.
This new act that I communicate to you causes that, when you remain without Me, this greater knowledge brings a new pain into the soul, because the more one knows a good, the more one loves it, and the new love brings the new pain when you remain without it. This is why, when you remain without Me, you feel that a new pain invades your soul. But this new pain prepares you to receive, and the void is prepared in you in which to place the new knowledges about the Divine Will.
The pain, the new harrowing death that you suffer because of my privation, is the new call which, with arcane and mysterious and enrapturing voice, calls Me; and I come, and, in return, I manifest to you a new truth which brings you the new life of your Jesus.
More so, since the knowledges on my Divine Fiat are Divine Lives that come out of the womb of Our Divinity, and therefore the divine pain which you suffer because of my privation has the virtue of calling from Heaven these Divine Lives of the knowledges of my Will to reveal themselves to you, so as to make them reign on the face of the earth.
Oh! if you knew what value one single knowledge on my Divine Will contains, what good it can produce – you would hold it as the most precious relic, and one kept as more than sacrament.
Therefore, let Me do, and abandon yourself in my arms, waiting for your Jesus to bring you the Divine Lives of the knowledges of His Fiat!”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My beloved Jesus, may I feel within me the continuous Power of the Divine Fiat, so as to envelope me with such empire as to give no time to my dying will to do the slightest act; . May my will be content with living while dying, so as to give life and absolute dominion to the Supreme Volition which, victorious with Its divine rights, may extend Its boundaries and sing victory over my dying will which, though dying, smiles and feels happy and honored that a Divine Will has Its field of action within my soul.”
