“See, then, how many paths there are in the creature in order to come into my Will, if he wanted to. All paths were opened between God and man, and by virtue of Our Will, Our goods were his. After all, he was Our son, Our image, a work come out of Our hands, and from the ardent breath of Our bosom.
But the human will, ungrateful, did not want to enjoy the rights to Our goods which We gave to it. Not wanting to do Our Will, man did his own; and by doing his own, he put bars and fences across these paths; he constrained himself within the miserable circle of his will; he lost Ours and went wandering in the exile of his passions, of his weaknesses, under a tenebrous sky, loaded with storms and with thunders. Poor child, in the midst of so many evils, wanted by himself!
So, each act of human will is a bar that he puts across Mine; it is a fence that he forms, to prevent the union of our wills; and the communication of goods between Heaven and earth is interrupted.
My Humanity, compassionating and loving man with infinite love, by doing the Will of my Father in everything, kept these paths whole, and impetrated the removal of the bars and the destruction of the fences which the human will had formed; and so It opened the paths again for whomever wants to come into my Will, to give back to him those rights, wanted by Us, with which We created him.
Paths are necessary in order to facilitate the journey; they are the means for man to be able to make, very often, a little visit to his Celestial Fatherland. And knowing how beautiful his Fatherland is, and how happy one is in It, he loves It and yearns to take possession of It, and therefore, he lives detached from the exile.
These paths in the creature were necessary so that, very often, she might rise to her true Fatherland, she might know It and love It; and a sign that the soul is on these paths, that she loves her Celestial Fatherland, is that, placing herself on the way in Our Will, she makes her little visits.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
“I immerse myself in the immense sea of the Supreme Will, and – as You, my lovable Jesus, tells me – may I let nothing escape me of all the acts It has done, does and will do, which for You, Jesus, are one single act and
to be always with this Divine Will in order to give It my little requital of love and of thanksgiving.
