Jesus is the Lamp of all in Heaven.

My benign Jesus continues to come.  After I received Communion, He renewed in me the pains of the crucifixion, and I was left so numb that I felt the need for a relief, but I did not dare to ask for it.  After a little while He came back as a baby and He kissed me all over; milk flowed from His lips, and I drank in large gulps that most sweet milk from His most pure lips.  Now, while I was doing this, He told me:  “I am the flower of the Celestial Eden, and the fragrance I spread is such that at my perfume the whole of Heaven remains captivated.  And since I am the Lamp that sends light to all, so much so, as to keep them immersed in it, all of my Saints draw their little lamps from Me.  So, there is no light in Heaven which has not been drawn from this Lamp.”  Ah, yes! There is not even the smell of virtue without Jesus; and even if one went up to the highest heavens, there is no light without Jesus!

1/27 The Portentous Effects Of Uniting Our Lives With That Of Jesus

Portentous effects of uniting our lives with that of Jesus. A few words about death.

 As I was in my usual state, after much waiting, my most loving Jesus came for a little while, and placing Himself near me, told me: “My daughter Luisa), one who tries to conform to my life in everything, does nothing other than add one more and distinct fragrance to everything I did in my life, in such a way as to perfume Heaven and the whole Church; and even the evil themselves feel this celestial fragrance flow. This is so true, that all the Saints are nothing other than many fragrances, and are that which most cheers the Church and Heaven, because they are distinct among themselves. Not only this, but if one tries to continue my life by doing what I did wherever he can – and where he cannot, at least with the desire and the intention – I keep it in my hands as if I were continuing my whole life in that soul, not as something past, but as if I were now living. This is a treasure in my hands, because as I double the treasure of everything I operated, I dispose it for the good of the whole of mankind. So, would you not want to be one of these?”

I saw myself all confused and did not know what to answer, and Jesus disappeared from me. But a little later He came back, and I also saw many people who greatly feared death. On seeing this, I said: ‘My lovable Jesus, it must be a defect in me, this not fearing death. I see that others fear it so much, while to me, instead, thinking only that death will unite me with You forever and will put an end to the martyrdom of my hard separation, the thought of death not only gives no fear, but is of relief; it gives me peace and I make feast, disregarding all the other consequences which death brings with itself.’ And Jesus: “Daughter, in truth, that extravagant fear of dying is foolishness, when one has all my merits, virtues and works as passport in order to enter Heaven, since I made a donation of it to everyone. Those who have added from their own, then, profit even more from this donation of Mine; and with all this substance, what fear can one have of death? Rather, with this most safe passport the soul can enter wherever she wants, and out of regard for her passport, everyone respects her and lets her pass. As for you (Luisa), then, your not fearing death at all comes from your having dealt with Me, and having experienced how sweet and dear is the union with the highest Good. Know, however, that the most pleasing homage that can be offered to Me, is desiring to die in order to be united with Me. This is the most beautiful disposition in order for the soul to be purged and to pass straight on, with no interval, through the way of Heaven.” Having said this, He disappeared.

1/26 25th anniversary of Episcopal Ordination Mons Giovan Battista Pichierri – To testify to the gospel of God’s grace

25th anniversary of Episcopal ordination Mons Giovan Battista Pichierri – To testify to the gospel of God’s grace

 

Posted 1/23/16 on the Official Website for the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Dear friends,

January 26, our Archbishop Giovan Battista Pichierri will celebrates the 25th anniversary of his Episcopal ordination.

The Association “Luisa Piccarreta –  Little Children of the Divine Will”, on the occasion of this anniversary, wants to express with all of you, dear friends, who follow us on this website, best wishes to His Excellency, thanking him for his Episcopal ministry bestowed upon the Diocese of Trani-Barletta- Bisceglie, Titular of Nazareth, especially for his dedication during these years to the cause of Beatification of Luisa.

The Association sees in Mons. Pichierri its own father in faith who accompanies and stimulates it continuously, so that, first of all, it can live and testify of the gift of living in the Divine Will.

His numerous visits to the Association and his ongoing commitment to promote the cause of  beatification and canonization are a sign of his bond with the figure of Luisa, daughter of this land of Puglia who the Lord has chosen as a humble instrument to make known the Gift of Living in the Divine Will throughout the world.

Let us not forget that it was Mons. Pichierri who on October 29, 2005, in the presence of thousands of people from around the world, closed the diocesan inquiry into the life, virtue and reputation of Sanctity of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.

Mons. Giovan Battista Pichierri was born in Sava  (province of Taranto) on February 12, 1943.

After concluding his studies at the diocesan seminary and then at the regional seminary in Molfetta, he was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Oria (Brindisi province) on August 30, 1967.

He completed his theological education by attending the Ecumenical Faculty of Bari, where in 1970 he obtained his license in Ecumenical Theology.

He put the first ten years of his priestly ministry at the service of the regional and diocesan minor seminaries for the High School in Taranto.

Here, he served at first as educator and then as rector.

After returning to the diocese in 1977, he served the diocesan Church working directly with Bishops De Giorgi (now Cardinal and Archbishop Emeritus of Palermo) and Franco and in the range of the sequence between them as “Delegate ad omnia” of Apostolic Administrator Voto, Bishop of Castellaneta.

Since 1982, he was appointed Archpriest by Mons. Armando Franco, and was entrusted with the pastoral care of the parish of SS. Trinity in Manduria, where he carried out his service until March12 1991.

In 1986,  Mons. Franco himself called him to collaborate more directly in the guide of diocese entrusting him with the role of Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, in addition to that of pastor.

Throughout the years of his ministry he taught Catholic religion in public primary and lower secondary school, in the Lyceum and commercial and technical institutes. 

On December 21, 1990 the Holy Father John Paul II  appointed him Bishop of the diocese of Cerignola-Ascoli Satriano (Foggia Province).

On January 26,  1991 he was ordained Bishop in the Cathedral Church of Manduria by the Bishop of the diocese, Mons. Armando Franco.

On  March 17, 1991 he entered the diocese.

On November 13, 1999 the Holy Father John Paul II transferred him to the Archdiocese of Trani-Barletta-Bisceglie.

He was installed in it on Jan. 26, 2000, on the ninth anniversary of this Episcopal ordination.

We are grateful to the Lord because the ministry of our Archbishop has been “to testify to the gospel of God’s grace”, as the Acts of the Apostles – Chapter 20, 24 – remind us. Just as his predecessors did consistently with Luisa at first and then with the Association, he has kept the seal of the ecclesial spirit on this small seed destined to bear the fruit of the Kingdom.

As it is in Heaven so may it be on Earth

Medjugorje Message today (1/25/16)

“Dear children! Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God. Therefore, little children, in humility of heart return to God and to His commandments so that with all of your heart you are able to say: as it is in Heaven so may it be on earth. You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him. See where satan wants to pull you into sin and slavery. Therefore, little children, return to my heart so that I can lead you to my Son Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

1/25 “IT IS JESUS WHO WANTS…..”

‘The Kingdom of the Divine Will in the midst of creatures. The call of the creature to the Order, the Place and the Purpose for which he was created by God’

BOOK OF HEAVEN

 In order to forget ourselves, we must do each thing not only because Jesus wants it, but because Jesus wants to do it within us. If He redeemed us with His Passion, with His hidden life He prepared the divine action for every human action.

  Mama Luisa

Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta,

The Little Daughter of the Divine Will

 VOLUME 11

 August 14, 1912

In order to forget ourselves, we must do each thing not only because Jesus wants it, but because Jesus wants to do it within us. If He redeemed us with His Passion, with His hidden life He prepared the divine action for every human action.

 Finding myself in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter (Luisa), in order for the soul to forget herself, she should do each thing which is necessary for her as if Jesus wanted to do it within her. If she prays, she should say: ‘It is Jesus who wants to pray, and I pray together with Him.’ If she has to work: ‘Jesus wants to work; Jesus wants to walk; Jesus wants to take food. He wants to sleep, He wants to get up, He wants to enjoy Himself…’ and so on for all other things of life – except for error. Only in this way can the soul forget herself; not only will she do everything because I want it, but because I want to do them: they are necessary to Me.”

 Now, one day I was working and I thought to myself: ‘How is it possible that Jesus works in me while I work? Does He really want to do this work?’ And Jesus: “Yes I do. My fingers are in yours and they work. My daughter (Luisa), when I was on earth, didn’t my hands lower themselves to work the wood, hammer the nails, and help my foster Father Joseph in the smithing work? While I was doing that, with those very hands and with those fingers, I created souls and called other souls to the other life; I divinized all human actions; I sanctified them, giving a Divine merit to each one of them. In the movements of my fingers I called in sequence all the movements of your fingers and those of others; and if I saw that they were doing them for Me, or because I wanted to act within them, I continued my life of Nazareth in them, and I felt cheered by them for the sacrifices and the humiliations of my hidden Life, giving them the merit of my own Life.

Daughter (Luisa), the hidden Life that I conducted in Nazareth is not taken into account by men, when in fact, after the Passion, nothing could benefit them more. By lowering Myself to all those little actions and those acts which men exercise during their daily life, such as eating, sleeping, drinking, working, starting the fire, sweeping, etc. – all acts which no one can do without – I made flow inside their souls a tiny divine coin of incalculable price. Therefore, if my Passion redeemed them, my hidden Life provided each human action, even the most insignificant one, with Divine merit and with infinite value.

Do you (Luisa) see? As you (Luisa) work – working because I want to work – my fingers flow within yours, and as I work in you (Luisa) with my creative hands, in this very instant, how many am I giving to the light of this world? How many others am I calling? How many others do I sanctify, correct, chastise, etc.? Now, you (Luisa) are with Me creating, calling, correcting and so forth; therefore, just as you(Luisa) are not alone, neither am I alone in my work. Could I ever give you(Luisa) greater honor?”

Who can say all that I understood, and all the good that can be done for ourselves and for others, by doing things because Jesus wants to do them in us? My mind gets lost, therefore I stop here.
