"Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1Jn 3:2)
Passage from the “Book of Heaven” by Luisa Piccarreta, the Little Daughter of the Divine Will – 10 April 1912
The souls who have more trust will shine more in the crown of the divine mercy.
Continuing in my usual state (outside my body), as soon as blessed Jesus came, He told me: “My daughter, the souls who will shine the most, like bright gems in the crown of my divine mercy, are the souls who have more trust, because the more trusting they are, the more they give space for the attribute of my Mercy to pour into them all the Graces that they want. On the other hand, the soul who does not have real trust closes the graces within Me, remaining poor and unequipped, while my Love remains contained within Me and suffers greatly.
(...) Therefore, trusting souls are the outpouring and the amusement of my Love – the most graceful and the richest ones.”
Let us pray
Lord I want to be rich, but I have some trouble, so I try to learn from your Mother, our Mother in Heaven and with her I learn to abandon myself. Thank you for holding my hand, Jesus, throughout the path that leads to the encounter of Love. In union with my sisters and brothers, I say: (the community prayer, by clicking “Pray”)

Act of Spiritual Communion (by Mgr Raymond Centène)
Lord Jesus, I firmly believe that You are present in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. I love You more than anything and I desire You with all my soul.
“My body longs for you, like a dry, weary land without water.” (Psalm 62)
I want to receive You today with all the love of the Virgin Mary, with the joy and the fervor of the Saints.
Since I am prevented from receiving You sacramentally, come at least spiritually to visit my soul.
In this time of absence, may this Eucharistic fast to which I am subjected bring me in communion with Your sufferings, especially with the feeling of abandon that You felt on the Cross when You cried out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
May this sacramental fast bring me in communion with the sentiments of Your Most Holy Mother and of St Joseph when they lost You in the temple of Jerusalem; with the sentiments of Your Holy Mother when she received You, lifeless, at the foot of the Cross.
May this Eucharistic fast bring me in communion with the suffering of Your mystical Body, the Church, throughout the world where persecution, or the absence of priests, are obstacles to sacramental life.
May this Eucharistic fast bring me to understand that the Eucharist is an over-abundant gift of Your love and not a given for my spiritual comfort.
May this Eucharistic fast be a reparation for all the times when I received you with a heart that was badly prepared, cold, indifferent, without love nor thanksgiving.
May this Eucharistic fast ever increase my hunger to receive You truly and substantially in Your body, Your blood, Your soul and Your divinity when the circumstances will allow me.
And until then, Lord Jesus, come to visit us spiritually through Your grace to strengthen us in our trials. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.
