Walking With Jesus- Daily Divine Will Calendar From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Why does the sun form the day? Because it is an act of Divine Will– Volume 26

Luisa- But while I was feeling this, my sweet Jesus, coming out of my interior and clasping me in His arms, told me:

Jesus- “My daughter, courage, do not lose heart too much. Tell Me: who forms the day? The sun, doesn’t it? And why does it
form the day? Because it is an act of my Divine Will. Now, as the earth rotates, the side that moves away from the sun
remains in the dark and forms the night, and the poor earth remains gloomy, as though under a mantle of sadness, in such
a way that all feel the reality of the night, and the great change that the earth undergoes by having lost the beneficial
sphere of the light – that is, the act of my Divine Will which created the sun and preserves it with Its continuous act. In
the same way, as long as the soul goes around under the continuous act of my Will, it is always full daylight for her –
night, darkness, sadness, do not exist. The continuous act of my Fiat, more than sun, smiles at her, it keeps her in feast;
but if she wanders about within her human will, more than earth, she remains in the dark, in the nighttime of her human
will which, lording over the soul, produces darkness, doubts, sadness, such as to form the true real night for the poor
creature. Who can tell you the great good, the most refulgent day, that an act of my Divine Will produces over the
creature? With Its continuous act, It produces all goods, and happiness in time and eternity. Therefore, be attentive,
enclose all of yourself within a single act of my Divine Will – never go out of It, if you want to live happy and have in
your power the Life of the light and the day that never sets. An act of my Divine Will is everything for the creature; with
Its continuous act that never ceases and never changes, more than tender mother, It keeps one who abandons herself in Its
act of light clasped to Its breast; and nourishing her with light, It raises her as a birth from Itself, noble and holy, and It
keeps her sheltered within Its very light.”

Scripture Meditation- From the rising of the sun to its setting
    the name of the Lord is to be praised! (Psalm 113:3).

Prayer Reflection- O Lord we love You, we adore You, and we worship You because Your Divine Will is like the Sun. The Sun is always shining but there are seasons here on Earth because it is the Earth that moves. And yet the Sun stays the same. O Lord, we too have our seasons which include sunshine and happiness but also sadness and darkness. And yet You remain the same always. Your Will is one Divine Act, more than Sun, and Your Will for us is joy, peace, and happiness. And yet how often, like the Earth do we keep rotating away from You into the darkness and misery of our human will not illuminated by Your Holy Will. We believe this is inevitable in life and certainly our circumstances will change but we too can be as constant as the sun in Your Will. Because even in what seems like the darkest night of trial, Your Will for us always is to live in Your Daylight, a day that never sets. So let us take courage and not lose heart because it is You who form the day and You are the same yesterday, today, and always!
