God showed frequently in all the revelations that man continually performs His will and His honor everlastingly, without any ceasing.' (And what this action is was shown in the first revelation, and that on a wonderful basis: for it was shown in the operation of the soul of Our Blessed Lady Saint Mary, by truth and wisdom.)
And I hope, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, I shall say what I understood of how this should be.
Truth perceives God, and Wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes the third, and that is a holy, wonderful delight in God, which is Love. Where Truth and Wisdom are, in truth, there is Love, truly proceeding from them both, and all are of God's creation.
For He is eternal supreme Truth, eternal supreme Wisdom, eternal supreme Love uncreated; and man's soul is a created thing in God, which has the same divine qualities except created.
And continually the soul does what it was made for: it perceives God, it contemplates God, and it loves God.
Because of this God rejoices in the creature and the creature in God, endlessly marveling. In this marveling the creature sees his God, his Lord, his Creator, so high, so great, and so good in reference to himself who is created, that scarcely does the creature seem anything at all by himself; but the clarity and the purity of truth and wisdom cause him to see and to recognize that he is created because of love, and in this love God endlessly keeps him.

Morning Offerings:

O MY GOD! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its Infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.

O MY GOD! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all Eternity.

O MY GOD, Most Holy Trinity, I desire to love Thee and to make Thee loved—to labor for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls here upon earth and by delivering those suffering in Purgatory. I desire to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, and to reach the degree of glory Thou hast prepared for me in Thy Kingdom. In a word, I wish to be holy, but knowing how helpless I am, I beseech Thee, my God, to be Thyself my holiness. I offer Thee the infinite merits of my Saviour, begging Thee to behold me only through the Eyes of Jesus. I offer Thee all the merits of the Saints, together with all their acts of love, as well as those of the Angels. Lastly I offer Thee the love and the merits of the Blessed Virgin, my dearest Mother. To Her I commit this Oblation, praying Her to present it to Thee.
Amen.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of apostles,
In faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

Christ be with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ within me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness,
Of the Creator of Creation.
