✞ The Divine Will is like opium for the soul. The creature does nothing other than want Jesus to do everything in her.
Volume 11 — Entry 43
I was feeling a little distracted, and pouring myself into the Holy Will of God, I asked forgiveness for my distraction. And Jesus told me: "My daughter, with its heat the sun destroys the miasma - the infectious part of manure, when it is spread into the soil in order to fecundate the plants; otherwise they would rot and would end up withering. Now, as soon as the soul enters my Will, Its heat destroys the infection - the defects, which the soul has contracted in her distraction. Therefore, as soon as you feel a distraction, do not remain within yourself, but enter into my Will immediately, so that my heat may purify you and prevent you from withering."
