Little Things

From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: January 10, 1917 Book of Heaven. Vol. 11, January 10, 1917. How sanctity is formed of little things.

Luisa: This morning my lovable Jesus told me:

Jesus: “My daughter, sanctity is formed of little things; so, one who despises the little things cannot be holy. It would be like someone who despises the little grains of wheat which, as many of them are united together, form the mass of the wheat; and by neglecting to unite them, he would cause the necessary and daily nourishment for the human life to be lacking. In the same way, one who neglected to unite many little acts together, would cause the nourishment of sanctity to be lacking; and just as one cannot live without food, in the same way, without the food of the little acts, the true shape of sanctity, and the mass sufficient to form sanctity, would be lacking. ”

Scripture-10 “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. (Luke 16:10).

Reflection- O Lord we thank You, we bless You and we adore You because it really is the little things that matter. It is the little foxes which spoil the vine (Song of Solomon 2:15). It is in the every day acts and decisions that we make- how we choose to react, what we allow ourselves to think and say, and in just doing our daily duties without complaint and fused fully in Your Will that You can make Divine Lives out of all the little ordinary things we do each day. But in our own will we will often go astray and not be able to give You the food of our little acts that You use to form sanctity in our souls. Let us be thankful and let us unite all the little daily ordinary things in our life from breathing, to eating, to thinking, and speaking and all our duties to Your Most Holy Divine Will for Your Glory and for the Good of all!
