Fourth Day of the Novena

When I was called to the Temple to marry a Pure and Holy Virgin, My Heart was faced with a challenge and an inner test.

For My life I had planned a life of silence, chastity, and solitude. I had not thought to marry, form a family, and share My experience on Earth with it, because I thought that My mission could not be understood by anyone, since even to Me it was a great mystery.

When I saw the Most Holy Mary, a deep Love for God was awakened within Me, and this Love was reflected in Me as a purity never experienced before.

I was lonely in this world, like the dry tuberose I carried in My hands, and the Purity of the Most Holy Mary, reflected in Me, caused the tuberose to blossom. Then I understood the Will of God and renounced everything that I had thought for My life.

When the Will of God calls you to renounce your own plans, even if they seem spiritual, so that you may experience something you have never thought to live, become empty of yourselves and pray to the Father in My Name, saying:

Lord,

You, Who awakened Purity in the Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph

and caused Him to renounce His human will,

give us the Grace of being pure and simple

so that we may renounce our will

and live only Yours.

Amen.

There is no greater gift...

than to live the Will of God... 

and see it manifested in one’s own life. 

For this reason, lose the fear of tearing up your own plans.. 

and opening your hands to receive the Scroll of Divine Will.
