Week 3 - Evening Prayer - Day of the Most Holy Eucharist

G. Oh God, come to reign in us.

E. Lord, let your Will come quickly...

Glory be to the Father...

HYMN
Love and glory to our Creator, in the sun, in the skies, in the dome of the heavens, in the stars, in the night and the day, in the divine fragrance of the morning!

Love and glory to our Creator, in the heights of the mountains, in the depth of the valleys, in the sea and all things hidden there!

Love and glory to our Creator, in the singing of the birds and in the wind, in the flowers that bloom upon the earth, in the sweetness of the fruits of the fields!

Love and glory to our Creator, in the heart of every creature, in the harmony of all things, in the unity of the light of the Divine Will. Amen.

Ant. 1 I created man to revolve around me just like all things revolve around the sun.

Psalm 1
How beautiful it is to see the creature live in our Will; while it lives by our reflections, it absorbs its Creator's likeness, becoming beautiful and irch.

It becomes so immense that it can take everyone and bring us everything. It draws so much love from us that it can love us for everyone.

We love the soul that lives in our Will so much, that in virture of our Will, it becomes that which we are by nature.

We pour everything into it; there isn't a single fiber of its being that we do not fill.

We fill this soul to overflowing, forming divine rivers and seas all around it. We descend into these seas to enjoy ourselves, and we look with love at all our works, finding that we have been perfectly glorified.

So, live in the most pure light of my Will, if you want God to repeat those words he said when he created man:

"In virtue of our Will, let us make this soul to our image and likeness."

Glory be to the Father...

Ant. 1

Ant. 2 God made creation to fill it with himself.

Psalm 2
When God decreed the creation, he brought forth from himself everything that he was going to give to the creature; the gifts, the graces, the kisses and the manifestations of his love.

Just as he brought for the sun, the stars, the blue skies, and everything else, so too he brought forth the gifts with which he was going to enrich souls.

Now, as man withdrew from my Will he rejected all these gifts; but the Divinity didn't take them back, instead he left them suspended in his Will.

He was waiting for man to bind his will to the divine, and to enter into his original order, as God created him, so that he could give to man the gifts that he had intended to give him.

So, everything is suspended in my Will: all the delicacies of love, the kisses, the caresses, the gifts, the communications and my innocent games that I would have shared with Adam, if he had not sinned.

Glory be to the Father...

Ant. 2

Ant. 3 True and perfect adoration is in the complete agreement of the union of the Divine Will with the human will.

Psalm 3
The more the soul makes its will one with that of its Creator, the more its adoration is perfect and complete.

If the human will is not one with the divine, much more if it is far from God, there is no adoration. It is just a shadow or like a tint without color that doesn't even leave a trace.

So, if the human will is not disposed to receive the kiss of union of the Supreme Will, instead of adoration it may be insult and contempt.

The first act of adoration is to recognize the Will or the Creator to fulfill it.

Without this, the words may adore, but the actions are insults and offenses.

If you want to know the true and perfect model of adoration come with me into the midst of the three Divine Persons.

Glory be to the Father...

Ant. 3

SHORT READING
"I created all of creation so that everyone would do my Will. The life of creatures should have flowed in my Will like blood flows through the veins; they should have lived in it as my true children; of all the thiings that belong to me, nothing should have been strange to them. I should have been their tender and loving Father, and they should have been my tender and loving children."
