Ponder the fiat of Jesus in the garden

February 21

 Ponder the fiat of Jesus in the garden, how heavy would have to make you sweat and sweat blood! Pronounce you too this fiat, both things prosperous and in adverse, and do not worry or break your head thinking about how you pronounce it. It is known that the difficult issues flees nature of the cross, but no one can say that the soul is not subject to the will of God, when we see it, despite the force felt against, put in practice.
Want to have concrete evidence of how the will pronounce his fiat? Virtue is known by its opposite. Posted by Lord on a test, whether difficult or easy, tell me do you feel driven to rebel against God? Or, better, say for example the impossible: trying to rebel. Or, tell me, do not you horrified at the mere fact of hearing these phrases blasphemous? Well, between yes and no, there can not be, nothing in between.
If your will run from the rebellion, be sure that it is subject, tacitly or explicitly, to the will of God, and therefore also in their own way she utters her fiat.
(January 30, 1915, to Raffaelina Cerase - Ep. II, p. 321)
