PRIESTLY ORDER (Vol 18; Nov 5, 1925)
“Do not stop, otherwise We will not find you always together with Us in Our moans and in Our secret tears; We will feel the void of your requital of love. Descend into the Sacrament of Ordination. Here, yes, you will find Our most intimate hidden sorrows, the most bitter tears, the most harrowing moans
The Ordination constitutes man
- to a supreme height,
- to a divine character
- the repeater of my Life,
- the administer of the Sacrament
- the revealer of my secrets, of my Gospel, of the most sacred science;
- the peacemaker between Heaven and earth,
- the bearer of Jesus to souls.
But, alas!, how many times We see, in the ordained one, how he will be
- a Judas for Us,
- an usurper of the character which is being impressed in him.
Oh! how the Holy Spirit moans in seeing, in the ordained one, the most sacred things, the greatest character which exists between Heaven and earth, being snatched away from Him. How many profanations! Each act of this ordained one, not done according to the character impressed, will be a cry of sorrow, a bitter crying, a harrowing moan”.
Suggestions
(by Alejandra Acuna)
To merge oneself in the Divine Will and go to every priestly ordination, to be present in every priest, in every act of every priest, and make reparation and console Jesus for every intimate and hidden tear and sorrow.
To give Him our correspondence of love for every lack of love on the part of priests, uniting ourselves also to the love that so many good and holy priests have given Him, and offering Him those acts of love, of sacrifice, of hidden or known self giving of heroism.
To pray for the conversion, repentance, and salvation of the priests-Judases; to ask for the sanctification of good priests; that all may come to the knowledge and life of the Divine Will and that they may be in everything as Jesus wants them to be.
“The Ordination is the Sacrament which encloses all other Sacraments together. Therefore, if the ordained one is able to preserve whole within himself the character he has received, he will almost place all other Sacraments in safety, he will be the defender and the savior of Jesus Himself”.
CONFIRMATION (Volume 18; November, 1925)
*THE MOANS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SACRAMENTS. THE REQUITAL OF LOVE OF THE SOUL.*
Move on to the Sacrament of Confirmation. Ah! how many bitter sighs. While, through Confirmation:
- I restore his courage,
- I give back to him the lost strengths, rendering him invincible to all enemies and to his passions,
- and he is admitted to the ranks of the militia of his Creator, that he may fight for the acquisition of the Celestial Fatherland,
- and the Holy Spirit gives him His loving kiss again, lavishes a thousand caresses on him, and offers Himself as the companion of his career –
- yet, many times He feels Himself being requited with
- the kiss of a traitor,
- His caresses being despised,
- His company shunned.
How many moans, how many sighs for his return, how many secret voices to the heart, for the one
who shuns Him – to the point of tiring Himself from speaking. But – no, it is in vain. Therefore, do you not want to give your requital of love, your loving kiss, your company to the Holy Spirit, who moans because of so much neglection?

To merge into the Divine Will and intend to go to every confirmation to make reparation, give thanks, and respond in love to the Holy Spirit for each person confirmed, for every kiss, for every inspiration, and for His Continual Companionship.
To pray for each person confirmed that they may listen to the interior voice of the Holy Spirit, recognize Him, and love Him.
To ask for the grace to receive and fully develop all the graces and gifts we have received in our Confirmation which will be possible only by living in the Divine Will, in order to give pleasure and joy to the Spirit of Love.
MATRIMONY (Volume 18; November 5, 1925)
*CORRESPONDENCE OF LOVE FOR THE SORROWS AND THE SECRET TEARS OF DIVINE LOVE IN THE SACRAMENT OF (MATRIMONY)*
…”Lend Us the ear of your heart and listen to Our profound moans in the Sacrament of Marriage. How many *disorders* in it!
Marriage was elevated by Me to a Sacrament, in order *to place in it a sacred bond*, the *symbol of the Sacrosanct Trinity*, the *divine love* which It encloses.
So, the:
- love which was to reign in the father, mother and children,
- the concord,
- the peace,
was to symbolize the Celestial Family. I was to have on earth as many *other families similar to the Family of the Creator*, destined to* populate the earth like as many terrestrial angels*, *to then
bring them back to populate the celestial regions*.
But, ah! how many moans in seeing *families of sin* being formed in the Marriage, *which symbolize hell*,
- with discord,
- with lack of love,
- with hatred,
and which populate the earth like many rebellious angels, who will serve to populate hell.
The Holy Spirit moans with harrowing moans in each Marriage, in seeing so many infernal dens being formed on earth.
Therefore, place your requital of love in each Marriage, in each creature which comes to the light; in this way, your loving moan will render less sorrowful Our continuous moans.”
*Suggestions*
(by Alejandra Acuna)
Reread, reflect on each idea and on each highlighted word of Jesus’ Teaching about what His Will Is in Marriage and the family, and resolve to put it in practice.
Maintain an attitude of seeking to know God’s Will for all aspects of Marriage, as manifested in the word of God and in the teaching of the church.
Merge oneself into the Divine Will and, with intention, go to each Marriage to make reparation, console, and love Jesus for every act opposed to His Will in each one.
Pray for the conversion of all husbands, wives, and children.
Ask that there be more marriages and families who seek to do His Will and live in it, so that they may fully fulfill the purpose of the sacrament of Matrimony and give glory and joy to God.
