2 Corinthians 3:18
“And we all, who with unveiled faces, contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”

The soul who lives in It copies
God within herself, and she remains copied in God.
After this, He made Himself seen as a little child, staring at me so much, as to remain as though impressed within me; and He wanted me to look at Him, but so much, as to remain, myself, impressed in Him. Then, all love and tenderness, He told me:
“My daughter, this is the true image of the living in my Eternal Volition: the soul copies the Divine Will within herself, and the Supreme Will copies the soul, in such a way that your Creator keeps the copy of your image impressed within His womb. He holds her so dear, because He sees her exactly as He issued her from her origin; she has lost nothing of her freshness and beauty. His paternal features are impressed in this copy; and this copy, in the paternal womb of God, sings for Him the praises of all Creation with all His works, and whispers continuously to His ear: “You made everything for me. You loved me and love me so very much, and I want to convert everything – everything into love for You.‟
This copy is the portent of God in His womb; she is the memory of all His works. This is the copy of the soul in God, and the copy of God in the soul, and the carrying out of the Divine Life in the creature.
How beautiful is the Kingdom of my Will – the nothing dissolved in the All, the All fused in the nothing; the lowliness of the creature rising up into the Divine height, the Divine height descending into the depth of the creature. They are two beings clasped together, inseparable, transfused, identified, such that it can barely be recognized that they are two lives palpitating together.
All the magnificence, the sanctity, the sublimeness, the prodigies of the Kingdom of my Will, will be precisely this: the faithful copy of the soul in God, and the copy of God, whole and beautiful, in the soul.
Therefore, the children of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat will be as many images of little gods in my Kingdom.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
“My Jesus, may You give me all that is necessary to the Sanctity of Living in Your Will – to generate likeness between You and me. May You do to me as You did to Your Mama: You did not tolerate even one little pain, or act or good which You did, in which She would not participate. May I, like Her, be Your faithful copy, in such a way that, in reflecting Yourself in me, You will find another You.”
