Fully trust God

January 27
If providence far from us the reason for neglecting the soul to worry about improving our body, has been infinite wisdom of God to be put in our hands all means to beautify our soul, also after having deformed with fault. Enough that the soul wants to collaborate with divine grace to its beauty can reach such splendor, such beauty, such beauty that will attract to itself, for love or astonishment, not only in the eyes of the angels but those of God, to according to the testimony of the same scripture: "King, ie God, he will desire your beauty."

  (November 16, 1914, to Raffaelina Cerase - Ep. II, p 226.)

Grace is a gift that God our Father has given us his pure mercy and the ever faithful love for us. Therefore we must always be open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit that God will always acting and increasingly in us. The grace of God always acts dramatically in people who take risks and trust God fully. Sin causes us to kill that grace, that action of God, the divine presence in us. So we always try to be vigilant, alert on not miss at least consciously and deliberately to this very good father because the slightest distraction can lead to total loss of the work God is doing in the soul of the person. When I speak of "minimal distraction" I refer to the attitude that knowing that goes against the Spirit we strive for pride, selfishness or negligently to continue growing in us. Let us labor therefore to walk the narrow path that increasingly is becoming wider and appealing if we discover that Jesus is the Way. Let us not hesitate to abandon it to the grace of God and walk hurried down the path of their mandates.
