From The Writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

July 21, 1927- Volume 22

“My daughter, how heavy you have become – don’t you know that oppression weighs the soul down, and if I want to take you in my arms I have to make an effort to lift you? On the other hand, my Will empties the weight of nature, and Its light, removing the gloom of what is human, renders her light – light and capable of any sacrifice; and giving her the wings of love, It gives to the soul the first qualities of the Celestial Fatherland, which knows neither oppression nor darkness, but daylight without sunset and joy that never ends. And besides, what would you say if you heard the sun say: ‘Everything is over – I am no longer sun, because my Creator does not constantly add more light for me. ’ You, I believe, would answer the sun: ‘I see you always sun, because your Maker has taken nothing away from you of the light He gave you. At the most, if He kept adding light, you would have been stronger and more refulgent in your light. ’ So do I answer you: ‘You are always sun, because the Sun of my Will and of the knowledges about It, more than light, reigns in you. ’ Neither I nor anyone else can snatch from you a single one of the many knowledges which you possess about my Eternal Fiat. And only because I do not constantly add more about It, as if what I have told you were nothing, you say: ‘Everything is over’, as if this Sun were extinguished in you? It takes too much, my daughter, to extinguish this Sun of my Will, nor will you yourself be able to escape Its eternal rays which, invading your soul, eclipse from you everything that does not belong to this Sun. Therefore, follow Its light and wait with patience for new light to come and be added, so as to render the Sun of my Will more refulgent in you. ”

Scripture Meditation– ¹⁸ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18)

Reflection– O Lord we love You, we praise You and we adore You because even when we feel that we do not know where You are and we cannot hear Your Voice, especially in a period of spiritual desolation and dryness, that You are always there, always light, always sun in Your Divine Will. May we wait in patience for the new light You may want to give us confidant that we live in the Sun of Your Will as long as we keep giving You our fiat!
