From the Calendar--August 8, 1926 Volume 19

[Jesus speaking] “… So, the soul who is identified with Me and lets herself be dominated by My Will is the repeater of the divine acts. Her love, her adorations, her prayers and everything she does, are the outpouring of God which she receives, so as to be able to say: ‘It is Your love that loves You, Your adorations that adore You, Your prayers that pray You; it is Your Will that, investing me, makes me do what You do, to give it back to You as your own things.’”

Jesus kept silent; but then, as though taken by an irresistible emphasis of love, He added: “Oh, power of My Will, how great You are! You alone unite the greatest and highest Being with the littlest and lowest being, making them one. You alone have the virtue of emptying the creature of all that does not belong to You, to be able to form in her, with your reflections, that Eternal Sun which, filling Heaven and earth with Its rays, goes to blend with the Sun of the Supreme Majesty. You alone have this virtue of communicating the supreme strength, in such a way that, with your strength, the creature can rise to that single act of God the Creator. Ah, My daughter, when the creature does not live in the unity of My Will, she loses the one strength and remains as though disunited from that strength that fills Heaven and earth and sustains the whole universe as if it were the littlest feather. Now, when the soul does not let herself be dominated by My Will, she loses the one strength in all of her actions, therefore all her acts, not coming out of the same single strength, remain divided among themselves–-love is divided, the action separated, the prayer disjointed. Being divided, all the acts of the creature are poor, meager, without light; and so patience is poor, charity is weak, obedience is crippled, humility is blind, prayer is mute, sacrifice is without life, without vigor, because since My Will is missing, the one strength is missing which, uniting everything, gives the same strength to each act of the creature. Therefore, they are left not only divided among themselves, but adulterated by the human will, and so each one is left with its own defect. …”
