Vol. 4 – April 22, 1901 Lessons about the imitation of His life.
While I was all afflicted and confused, and almost without hope of seeing my adorable Jesus again, all of a sudden He came and told me: “Do you know what I want from you? I want you similar to Me in everything, both in operating and in the intention. I want you to be respectful with everyone, because respecting everyone gives peace to oneself and peace to others; and that you consider yourself the least of all; that you meditate constantly on my teachings within your mind, and keep them in your heart, so that, on the occasion, you may find them always ready to be used and put into practice. In sum, I want your life to be an outpouring of Mine.” And while He was saying this, I saw behind the Lord an intense cold and a fire coming down upon earth, which caused damage to the crops. I said: ‘Lord, what are You doing? Poor people!’ But, not paying attention to me, He disappeared.
Scripture Meditation- Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:1-2)
Prayer- O Lord we love You, we adore You and we glorify You! May we imitate You by walking in peace and by meditating on Your Word day and night! May Your Word be always on our minds, our lips, and our hearts!
