Jesus continues His life in the world, not only in the Most Holy Sacrament, but also in the souls who are in His Grace. 

 

"I was thinking about the Hour of the Passion in which Jesus took leave of His Mother to go to His death (5pm), and they blessed each other, and I was offering this Hour to repair for those who do not bless the Lord in everything, but rather, they offend Him, in order to impetrate all the blessings which are necessary for us to preserve ourselves in the grace of God, and to fill the void of the glory of God, as if all creatures were blessing Him. While doing this, I felt Him move in my interior, saying: "My daughter, in the act of blessing my Mother I also intended to bless each creature individually, and all in general, in such a way that everything is blessed by Me: thoughts, words, heartbeats, steps and movements made for Me. Everything – everything has been given value by my blessing. Even more, I tell you that everything good that creatures do, was all done by my Humanity, so that all the works of creatures might first be divinized by Me.

Furthermore, my life, real and true, still continues in the world, not only in the Most Holy Sacrament, but in the souls who are in my Grace; and since the capacity of the creature is very limited, and one of them alone is unable to grab everything I did, I act in such a way as to continue my reparation in one soul, praise in another, thanksgiving in another; in some others my zeal for the salvation of souls, in another my sufferings, and so with all the rest. According to how they correspond to Me, I carry out my life within them.

Therefore, think of what constraints and pains they put Me into – while I want to operate in them, they do not pay attention to Me." Having said this, He disappeared, and I found myself inside myself." Vol 5. Oct 3, 1903

 

Reflection:

The only acceptable motivation in Divine Will is that we do everything for God alone, with pure love.

​

In reading this passage we see the need to always remain in the grace of God because Jesus wishes to continue His life in the world in and through us. In blessing His Mother, He intended to bless us all and all of our acts, thoughts, words which are made for Him. We need to be attentive that all the acts we do are done for Him, because more often we do them for ourselves or for others.

​

Every act has been given value by His blessing, and we in turn can transform the ordinary mundane acts of our everyday lives into acts of immense value by intentionally fusing in Divine Will and giving them to the Lord out of pure love for Him, and also by uniting them to His acts of love in His life and gaining His merits, so that even the smallest act like stirring one's coffee becomes a divine act which we can offer for the good of all souls, past, present and future.

 

The last few lines in the above piece show how Jesus wishes to carry out His life in each of us. We all have a special calling from the Lord in Divine Will, and depending on our response, our calling may vary from time to time, in that He may invite us to use the different circumstances of our lives to make reparation, do rounds, to suffer.... It is important is that we remain in a state of grace so as to be able to hear the various requests He makes. 

​

In reading this you may be thinking of some event in the near future in which you can make reparations, do rounds ... but is the Lord perhaps inviting you to respond in Divine Will at this present moment in whatever circumstances He has allowed in your life?
