Volume 29- July 13, 1931
Motion is the sign of life – where there is no motion there cannot be life. So, to know whether the creature possesses my Will is if in her inmost soul she feels my Will alone as prime motion of everything that goes on within her. In fact, my Will being prime motion, wherever It reigns It will make Its prime divine motion felt, upon which will hang all the internal and external acts, as though from the center of the prime motion of my Divine Will. Therefore, It will be the prime motion, the password, the commandant, the ruler, in such a way that each act will be in waiting to receive the prime motion in order to move and operate. So, if the creature feels in her acts the prime motion of my Will, it is the sign that It reigns in her soul; but if, on the contrary, she feels in her prime motion the human end, her own pleasure, natural satisfactions, the taste for pleasing creatures, my Will will not only not reign, but from Queen It will act as her servant, serving her in her acts, because there is no act that the creature can do if my Divine Will does not concur in it, either dominating her or serving her.
Now, you must know, my daughter, that the passport in order to enter into my Kingdom is the resolute will of never doing one’s own will, even at the cost of one’s life and any sacrifice. This resolute act, but true, is like the signature that one puts on the passport in order to set off in the Kingdom of my Divine Will; and while the creature signs in order to set off, God signs in order to receive her. This latter signature will have so much value, that the whole of Heaven will go to meet her in order to receive her into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat in which they live; and they will be all eyes over this creature who, from the earth, holds as life and as Kingdom that same Will which they hold in Heaven. But the passport is not enough; one must study the language, the ways, the customs of this Divine Kingdom – and these are the knowledges, the prerogatives, the beauties, the value that my Will contains. Otherwise, one would be like a stranger; he would neither take love, nor be loved. If he does not sacrifice in making of it a study in order to be able to speak with that same language, and does not adapt himself to the customs of those who live in this Kingdom so holy, he will live isolated, because, not understanding him, they will shun him; and isolation makes no one happy. In addition to this, one must pass from the study to the practice of what was learned; and after a length of practice, at last, he is declared a citizen of the Kingdom of my Divine Will, and then will he enjoy all the happinesses which are in a Kingdom so holy; even more, they will be his own properties, and he will acquire the right to live in It as in his own Fatherland.”
Scripture Meditation- But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 3:30).
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we praise You, we bless You and we glorify You because our citizenship is indeed in Heaven and You sign our passports as we lay down our will for Yours and You show us the way- read, study, put into practice! How much You love us as we await Your Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven!
