Week 2 - Morning Prayer - Day of the Passion

INVITATORY

HYMN Vol. X, February 8, 1911

O my Jesus, you are love, you are all love; and love
I want, love I desire, love I long for,
love I implore you, and love I beseech you!

Love invites you, love is my life,
love carries my heart away
to the bosom of my Lord.
Love inebriates me, love is my delight!

Only me, just for you,
only you, just for me!
Now that we are alone, let us speak of love.
Ah, make me understand how much you love me!

In your Will, in your love,
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
with Mother Mary and Luisa,
eternal and divine love be to you, oh Jesus! Amen.

Ant. 1 When I created man, in an excess of love, I breathed my almighty Fiat into him, wanting to infuse my own life in him.

Psalm 1 Vol. XII, March 22, 1919

My daughter, look what harmony,
what order in all created things; and see
how they all received life from the eternal Fiat.

So, everything cost me a Fiat;
the smallest star as well as the shining sun,
the smallest plant as well as the largest tree,
the tiniest insect as well as the very greatest.

Oh, how eloquently creation speaks of the power of my Will,
and teaches that from the greatest thing
to the smallest, their value is the same
if they have life from the Divine Will,
and that the glory they give
to our Creator is all alike.

It was not so in the creation of man.
It is true that his origin is my Fiat,
but this was not enough for me.
In an excess of love I breathed into him,
wanting to infuse my own life in him.
I endowed him with reason, I made him free,
and established him king of all creation.

But, how did ungrateful man correspond to me?
Of all creation only he
has become the sorrow of my heart,
the note out of tune.

And then, what shall I say to you
about my work in the sanctification of souls?
Not just one Fiat,
not my breath have I placed at their disposal,
but my own life, my love, my wisdom.
And yet, how many refusals, how many defeats
does my love receive!

Ah, my child, take pity on my intense pain,
and come into my Will to make up to me
for the love of all the human family,
and to soothe my broken heart.

Glory be to the Father….

Ant. 1 When I created man, in an excess of love, I breathed my almighty Fiat into him, wanting to infuse my own life in him.

Ant. 2 The one to whom I spoke about my Will was the most preferred.

Psalm 2 Vol. XI, September 29, 1912

Lord, you spoke to one about your passion,
to another about your heart,
to another about your cross…
Who did you most prefer?

Do you know who was most preferred by me?
The soul to whom I manifested the wonders,
the power of my most holy Will.

All the other things are parts of me,
whereas, my Will is the center, the life
and the ruler of all.

So, my Will has directed the passion,
has given life to my heart,
has exalted the cross.

My Will embraces everything,
grasps everything and gives effect to everything.
So, my Will is more than everything.

Consequently, the soul to whom I have spoken
about my Will was the most preferred,
above all others.
Oh, how it should thank me
for having admitted it to the secrets of my Will!

Especially since the soul that is in my Will
is in my passion, in my heart;
it is all the beauty of my cross
and it is my same redemption.

There are no dissimilarities
between this soul and me.
So, I want you all in my Will,
if you want to take part in all my goods.

Glory be to the Father...

Ant. 2 The one to whom I spoke about my Will was the most preferred.

Ant. 3 The true consummation takes place in a simple way.

Psalm 3 Vol. XI, May 21, 1913

My child, I want the true consummation in you,
not imaginary, but true,
yet in a simple, attainable way.

Suppose a thought comes to you
that is not for me.
You must destroy it
and substitute it with the divine.

This way, you will have consumed
the human thought,
and will have acquired the life
of the divine thought.

Similarly, if the eyes want to look at something
that displeases me or that does not refer to me,
and the soul mortifies itself,
it has consumed the human eyes
and has acquired the eyes of the divine life;
and so on with all the rest of your being.

Oh, how I feel these new
divine lives flow in me.
They take part in everything I do.
I love these divine lives so much,
that for love of them I give in to everything!

These souls are the first before me;
and if I bless them,
the others are blessed through them.
They are the first to be favored and loved,
and through them the others
are provided for and loved.

Glory be to the Father…..

Ant. 3 The true consummation takes place in a simple way.

SHORT READING Vol. XI, May 9, 1912

“My child, if the human will doesn’t want anything but me alone, if the intellect is not occupied with anything but knowing me, if the memory does not call to mind anything but me alone: here you have consummated the three powers of the soul in love. Similarly with the senses: if you speak only of me, if you listen only to what regards me, if you relish only what is mine, if you work and walk only for me, if the heart loves only me, if the desires desire only me – here is the consummation of love formed in the senses. Love has a sweet enchantment that makes the soul happy, and that makes it blind to all that is not love, and makes it ‘all eyes’ to everything that is love.”

RESPONSORIAL Vol. XI, August 17, 1912

G. To think about oneself reduces the soul; on the contrary, whoever does
not think about himself, *gives me rightful honor.

E. To think about oneself reduces the soul; on the contrary, whoever does
not think about himself, *gives me rightful honor.

G. By thinking of me, it expands in my immensity;

E. *it gives me rightful honor.

G. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

E. To think about oneself reduces the soul; on the contrary, whoever does
not think about himself, *gives me rightful honor.

Ant. of Thanksgiving My first passion was love, because when man sins, the first step that makes him fall into evil is the lack of love.

Holy Father, we ask you to make all creatures want to take the Divine Will as their own life, so that weaknesses, temptations, passions and miseries will come to an end, and the reign of your Will can have its primacy over everything and over everyone.
Through Christ our Lord.
