Week 1 - Night Prayer - Day of the Passion

G. Oh God, come to reign in us.

E. Lord, let your Will come quickly.

Glory be to the Father…..

HYMN
Oh, how the living in your Divine Will
maintains and preserves grace,
continually giving new
shades of beauty to the soul!

It is your most holy Will
that takes away any imperfection
and gives full knowledge
of the beloved Object that one possesses!

Oh yes, the living in your Will
is the essence of holiness,
which gives continuous growth
to the soul in wisdom, age and grace!

May honor, glory, love and thanksgiving
be given to your supreme Will,
oh most holy Trinity! Amen.

Ant. Who am I and who are you?

Psalm Vol. II, June 2, 1899

Oh, soul that knows yourself,
how fortunate you are!

The greatest favor that I can do for a soul
is to let it know who it is.

The knowledge of oneself
and the knowledge of God go hand in hand.

The more you know yourself,
the more you will know God.

The soul that has known itself,
seeing that it can’t do anything good by itself,
does all its works in God.

The soul transforms the shadow of its being into God,
because with the clear knowledge of its nothingness,
it doesn’t dare to do anything by itself;
but blindly led, it follows the works of the Word.

Glory be to the Father….

Ant. Who am I and who are you?

SHORT READING Vol. III, January 31, 1900

“Humility is the passport for entering into the kingdom of grace. By always looking upon its own nothingness, the soul puts all its trust in grace, even making it its master; then grace having entirely taken over the soul, guides it along the way of all the virtues and brings it to the peak of perfection.”
