4:15 a.m.
The divine call brought me out of sleep for this short lesson by the Holy Spirit:
“The more a soul is a daughter of God, according to the theological concept of St. Paul the Apostle (Romans 8:14), the more solicitous it is about following the counsels of the Holy Spirit, who never prompts unfulfillable desires in the children of God (Galatians 5:17) and prays in you, crying out, ‘Father,’ knowing that the Father is aware of what Love wills in interceding on behalf of the saints - that is, according to his loving desires, so that love will set the earth aflame (Romans 8:26-27 and Galatians 4:6).
“The soul that is a daughter of God takes this divine characteristic from the Father: prompt, cheerful solicitude in doing what is Good. The measure of filiation attained is according to the promptness with which the soul carries out divine inspirations, without pausing to consider what they may demand in terms of effort by the human creature or inherently contain which is dangerous for the individual of flesh.
“Truly, the soul that is a daughter of God is already like a star launched into the immense vastness of heavenly spaces in order to reach its place and become fixed therein: God. And nothing can halt the race of love.
“May my joy be in you.”
