Day Twenty Three

The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Here

sounds the First Hour of Sorrow. A Star, with mute Voice, calls the
Magi to adore Jesus. A Prophet makes himself the Revealer of the

Sorrows of the Sovereign Queen.

The soul to her Queen Mama: My most sweet Mama, here I am again
at your knees; this child of yours can no longer be without You, my

Mama. The sweet enchantment of the Celestial Baby, whom You now

clasp in your arms, and now adore on your knees and love in the
manger, enraptures me, thinking that your happy destiny and the very

little King Jesus are nothing other than the fruits and the sweet and

precious pledges of that Fiat which extended Its Kingdom in You. O
please! oh! Mama, give me your word that You will make use of your

power to form in me the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

Lesson of my Celestial Mama:

My dearest child, how happy I am to have you close to Me, to be able to
teach you how the Kingdom of the Divine Will can extend in all things.

All crosses, sorrows, humiliations, invested by the life of the Divine Fiat,

are like raw materials in Its hands, in order to nourish Its Kingdom and
to extend It more and more.

Therefore, pay attention to Me, and listen to your Mama. I continued my

stay in the grotto of Bethlehem with Jesus and dear Saint Joseph. How

happy we were. Because of the presence of the Divine Infant and of the
Divine Will operating in us, that little grotto had changed into Paradise.

It is true that pains and tears were not lacking, but compared to the
immense seas of joy, of happiness, of light, which the Divine Fiat made

arise in each of our acts, they were just little drops plunged into these

seas. And then, the sweet and lovable presence of my dear Son was
one of my greatest happinesses.
