The mere word ‘Will of God’ contains an eternal prodigy. How everything converts into love and prayer.
For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light. (Psalm 36:()
Volume 20, September 16, 1926
And Jesus, resuming His speaking, added: “My daughter, wherever my Will is present, everything is sanctity, everything is love, everything is prayer. So, since Its fount is in you, your thoughts, your gazes, your words, your heartbeat and also your movements – everything is love and prayers. It is not the form of the words that forms prayer – no; it is my operating Will which, dominating all of your being, makes of your thoughts, words, gazes, heartbeats and movements as many little fountains, which spring from the Supreme Will; and rising up to Heaven, in their mute language, some pray, some love, some adore, some bless. In sum, my Will makes the soul do what is holy – what belongs to the Divine Being. Therefore, the soul who possesses the Supreme Will as life is the true heaven which, be it even mute, narrates the glory of God and announces itself as the work of His creative hands. How beautiful it is to see the soul in whom my Will reigns! As she thinks, looks, speaks, palpitates, breathes, moves, she forms the stars to adorn her heaven, to narrate more the glory of the One who created her. My Will embraces everything as though in one breath, and lets nothing of all that is good and holy escape the soul.”

Our Forever Family
My Mother accompanied Me everywhere with her love, her sacrifices and her prayers. (Jesus) (January 17, 1964)
Today’s Readings: The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd. He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you.” He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” (Luke 8)
Prayer Meditation- Lord God we thank You for the forever family You have given us in the Saints and particularly Our Blessed Mother! She accompanied You everywhere with Her sacrifices and prayers and She does the same for us! Our Mother and brothers and sisters in faith do Your Will-may we imitate them and do the same!
Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
Volume 11 September 25, 1914–
I was offering my poor prayers to blessed Jesus, and I was thinking to myself to whom it would be better for blessed Jesus to apply them. And He, benignly, said to me: “My daughter, the prayers done with Me and with my very Will can be given to all, without excluding anyone. All receive their part and their effects, as if those prayers had been offered for one alone. However, they operate according to the dispositions of the creatures, just like Communion, or my Passion: I give It to all and to each one, but the effects are produced according to their dispositions; and if ten people receive It, the fruit is not inferior to the case in which five had received It. Such is the prayer done together with Me and from my Will.”
Round Of The Soul- We bless You, we love You and we adore You Lord because You have asked us to pray not only for ourselves and our loved ones but everyone past, present, and future so that Your Celestial Dew would fall on all! Lord we plead mercy, salvation and sanctification of all souls that all would be disposed to receive what You so long to give us which Your Kingdom living on Earth as it is in Heaven!

Place Our Lamps On The Lampstand
The Blessed Virgin revealed that the light of her Flame of Love filled not only me, but all my family members, and the Evil One could not lead them into sin. That is why their souls are strengthened and prepared to receive even more graces. (Elizabeth) (February 21, 1963)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. (Luke 8)
Prayer Meditation- Praise You Lord Jesus that in these times in which we live Your Grace abounds even more than the sin that surrounds us! (Romans 5:20). We are living in the time of Divine Mercy, the time of the outpouring of the Flame of Love if we would just receive! Lord let us who are consecrated to You through Mary be ready for the Holy Spirit to fill us with Your Light so that it is not we who live but You through us! (Galatians 2:20). Lord let this light shine brightly in us, this Flame of Love, so that this light would move from heart to heart to heart! Come Lord Jesus into our hearts and fill us with Your Abundant Life which will overflow to all around us! (John 10:10)
The Humanity of Our Lord, sacrarium and custodian of all the works of the creatures. How love never says enough.
Have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11)
Volume 32-September 24, 1933– “My good daughter, in all Our works there was always an excess of love toward man; and one excess gave me the spur to make another one. So, it was not enough for Me to descend from Heaven to earth in order to make him anew, but each act I did, each pain and, I can say, even each breath, was directed toward him. In my all-seeingness I called him, I clasped him in my arms, I molded him anew in order to restore him and give him the new life which I had brought for him from Heaven. I made him my own brother in order to place him in the sonship of my Celestial Father. But this was not enough for Me; in order to keep him more safe, I made of my Humanity the depository of all the works, sacrifices and steps of man. Look at Me – how I hold everything enclosed within Me; and this leads Me to love him twice as much in each act he does. By incarnating Myself in the womb of the Immaculate Queen, I formed this Humanity of Mine and I constituted Myself the Head of the human family in order to unify all creatures with Me and make them my own members. Therefore, everything they do is mine, I enclose everything in the sacrarium of my Holy Humanity, I keep the little good as well as the great. But do you know why? By their passing into Me, I give them the value as if they were my own works, prayers and sacrifices; the virtue of the Head descends into the members, blending everything together, and I give them the value of my own merits. So, the creature finds herself in Me, and I, as the Head, find Myself in them. But do you think that my love said or says ‘enough’? Ah! no, it will never say ‘enough’. The nature of divine love is to form ever new inventions of love, to give love and receive love. If it were not so, it would be like setting a limit and closing Our love within Our divine sphere. But, no, Our love is immense, and by its own nature must always love. And here is why I want my Humanity to be followed by the large field of my Divine Will, which will do incredible things for love of creatures. Here, then, Its knowledges, Its wanting to reign. If It does not reign, how can It abound, and make display of Its surprises of love? Therefore, be attentive, and you will see what my Will can do. ”Fiat!!
Round of the Soul: We bless You, we love You and we adore You, because in Your Humanity Lord, You held nothing back! True love never says enough! Your excess of love for us is infinite and we are but finite creatures and yet You give us, fused in Your Most Holy and Divine Will, Your own merits! May all be for Your Glory, Amen and Fiat!

Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Five O’clock Saints- Your Ways Are Not Our Ways!
Those accepting the Flame of Love will be intoxicated by the abundance of graces and they will proclaim everywhere, as I said before, that such a torrent of grace has never been granted since the Word became Flesh.” (November 7, 1963)
Today’s Readings: ‘My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?’ Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20)
Prayer Meditation- Lord we are living in extraordinary times. We are living in the times prophesied by St. Louis Marie de Montfort. He has said us, the faithful, in these times, “They shall be the true apostles of the latter times. They shall have in their mouths the two-edged sword of the Word of God. They shall carry on their shoulders the bloody standard of the Cross, the Crucifix in their right hand and the Rosary in their left, the sacred Names of Jesus and Mary in their hearts, and the modesty and mortification of Jesus Christ in their own behavior. (True Devotion to Jesus Through Mary)” In these times of tribulation, we are living in a time of extraordinary grace because we are also living in times of unprecedented darkness. And what is grace exactly- unmerited favor! We have a rich tradition of saints in the Catholic Church, those who “bore the day’s burden and the heat” by faithful perseverance. And it can be very hard to believe that right here, right now, You have called pretty much anyone who has ears to listen and give our little “yes” the ability to become great saints just by opening ourselves through Mary to the Flame of Love, which is You living in us! Not some great big staircase of sanctity, but the elevator described by St. Therese Lisieux if only we realize that we are little nothings, little five o’clock laborers called at the end of the day to receive all that You desire to give us without cost (Isaiah 55) because Your Ways are not our Ways and the best is yet to come! What a great time to be alive!
One Who Lives in the Divine Will, In Her Littleness, Encloses the All and Gives God to God.
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master. (Matthew 25:21)
Volume 27-September 23, 1929–
My daughter, when the creature goes through the works of her Creator it means that she wants to recognize, appreciate, love, what God has done for love of her; and having nothing to give Him in return, while going through His works she takes the whole Creation as though in the palm of her hand, and she gives It back to God, intact and beautiful, for His glory and honor, saying to Him: ‘I recognize You, I glorify You by means of your own works, which alone are worthy of You.’ Now, Our delight in seeing Ourselves recognized in Our works by the creature is such and so great, that We feel as if the Creation were being repeated again, to give Us double glory; and since this double glory is given to Us because the creature recognizes Our works done for love of them and given to them as gift so that they would love Us, by recognizing Our gift, the creature encloses the All in the heaven of her soul, and We see, within her littleness, Our Divine Being with all Our works. More so since, Our Divine Fiat being present in the littleness of this creature, she has capacity and space to be able to enclose the All, and – oh! prodigy, to see the All enclosed in the human littleness, and to see her, brave, giving the All to the All, only to love Him and glorify Him. That the All of Our Supreme Being be the All – there is nothing to be surprised about, because such is Our Divine Nature – to be All. But the All in the human littleness is the wonder of wonders; these are prodigies of Our Divine Volition, that wherever It reigns It cannot make of Our Divine Being a Being by half, but the whole of It. And since the Creation is nothing other than an outpouring of love of Our creating Fiat, wherever It reigns It encloses all Its works, and therefore the human littleness can say: ‘I give God to God.’ This is why, then, when We give Ourselves to the creature, We want everything – even her nothing, so that upon her nothing Our creative word may be repeated, and We may form Our All over the nothing of the creature. If she does not give Us everything – her littleness, her nothing – Our creative word cannot be repeated, nor is it decorous and an honor for Us to repeat it; because when We speak, We want to get rid of anything that does not belong to Us; and when We see that she does not give herself completely, We do not make her Our own, and so she remains the littleness and the nothing that she is, while We remain with the All that We are.”
Round of the Soul: We praise You, we bless You, we thank You and we adore You Lord because You allow us in our littleness and nothingness to go through the Rounds of Creation giving “God to God” as You enclose us in Your Creating Fiat in such an outpouring of love! Lord rid us of anything that does not belong to You as we enter Your Fiat little by little and sip by sip!

Saint Padre Pio
Dwelling In Unapproachable Light
Jesus: “Did you enjoy the hymn? I was the One who touched you by the melody. This is the hymn which we like the most. I use it to praise you because you so much love the silence of the church where I dwell.” (Jesus) (June 2, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Beloved: I charge you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble confession, to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ that the blessed and only ruler will make manifest at the proper time, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, and whom no human being has seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (1 Timothy 6)
Prayer Meditation- Lord we love You and praise You and bless You because You live in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen God but Your One and Only Son, Jesus Christ has revealed You (John 1) and has showed us the way to be perfect, as You are perfect in the Gospels. Lord, You want to dwell in us and make Your love complete in us (1John 4). You care about every detail of our lives, even the hymns we like in Church and You want to share everything with us! Lord Jesus, You are light and You offer us the way to live with You forever in Your Unapproachable Light because You have made a way for us through Your Incarnation, Life, Death, and Resurrection- let us seek You always in prayer, Your Word, and the Sacraments of Your One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Volume 9-September 22, 1910
This morning, continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, each virtue is a heaven that the soul acquires. Therefore, as many virtues as she acquires, so many heavens does she keep forming, and these heavens defeat all human inclinations, destroy that which is earthly, and make the soul wander through the purest auras, through the holiest delights, through the celestial fragrances of the highest good, anticipating for her part of the eternal joys.” And He disappeared.
Round Of The Soul: O Lord we bless You, adore, You and thank You Lord for the fruits of the Spirit, the virtues we acquire as You form Heaven in us and defeat all of our human and earthly inclinations for Your celestial and eternal joys! Come Holy Spirit, come by the means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well beloved Spouse and our Celestial Mama!

Friday of the Twenty Fourth Week of Ordinary Time
Set Free
“Your living faith in Me keeps your soul in a continual freshness and makes you ready to receive abundant graces. Hence, My little one, do not serve anyone but Me.” (Jesus) (August 1, 1963)
Today’s Readings: Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.(Luke 8)
Prayer Meditation- Lord today we see You journeying with Your chosen Apostles and also some women who were set free. Like us Lord, these women were stuck in sin and in their brokenness but then You broke into their mess; and we are all a mess, and set them free! Lord we can never repay You for Your goodness and ,mercy, all that we can do is walk alongside You with a living faith! Lord we may have served many idols before- money, prestige, addictions, acting out of need for approval and human respect but now we have found everything in You and we will serve no one else! May our feet journey together!
