Divine Will for every day of the year - September 18, 1924 Volume 17

“…My daughter, the living in My Will is the living that is closest to the blessed of Heaven. It is so distant from one who is simply conformed to My Will and does It, faithfully executing Its orders — as much as Heaven is distant from the earth, as much as the distance between a son and a servant, and between a king and a subject. Moreover, this is a Gift which I want to give in these times, so sad — that they may not only do My Will, but possess It. Am I perhaps not free to give whatever I want, when I want, and to whom I want? Isn’t a master free to say to his servant: ‘Live in my house, eat, take, command as another myself”? And so that nobody may prevent him from possessing his goods, he legitimizes this servant as his own son, and gives him the right to possess. If a rich man can do so, much more can I do it.

“This living in my Will is the Greatest Gift I want to give to the creatures. My Goodness wants to show off more and more love toward creatures, and since I gave them everything, I want to give them the Gift of My Will, so that in possessing It, they may appreciate and love the Great Good they possess.

“And don’t be surprised if you see that they do not understand. In order to understand, they would have to dispose themselves to the greatest of sacrifices – that of not giving life, even in holy things, to their own will. Then would they feel the possession of Mine, and would touch with their own hands what it means to live in My Will. You, however, be attentive, and do not be bothered by the difficulties they raise; little by little I will make My way, to make them understand the living in My Will.”
