From the Writings of The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta,

The Little Daughter of the Divine Will

Volume 34 – May 28, 1937                                                

The Queen, bearer of Jesus; the great gift that was given to Her. The task She received from the Supreme Being.

My living in the Divine Volition continues. Its Love is so great that It hides me within Its light, that I may see, hear or touch nothing but Its Most Holy Will.  Even more, this morning my Celestial Mother gave me a sweet and dear surprise:  after I received Holy Communion, She made Herself seen in my interior as though fused with baby Jesus; She was holding Him so tightly to Her maternal Heart, covering Him with Her arms, that in order to look at Him and cheer Him with my little love, I had to abandon myself in Her arms, so that I too might be fused with Them, to be able to love as Jesus and the Queen Mama loved each other.  Oh! how happy They were that I wanted to live life together with Them.

Now, while I was clinging to Them, the Sovereign Queen, all goodness and tenderness, told me: “My beloved daughter, you must know that I am the bearer of Jesus.  This was a gift that the Supreme Being entrusted to Me; and when He was certain that I had grace, love, power and the very Divine Will to keep Him safe, defended and loved, then He delivered the gift to Me – the Eternal Word incarnating Himself in my womb – telling Me:  ‘Our daughter, We are giving You the great gift of the Life of the Son of God, that You may be the owner, and may give Him to whomever You want.  However, know how to keep Him defended; never leave Him alone with the ones to whom You give Him, so that You may make up for them if they do not love Him, and repair if they offend Him.  You will act in such a way that nothing may be lacking to the decency, the sanctity and the purity that befit Him.  Be attentive, this is the greatest gift We give You; and We give You the power to bilocate Him as many times as You want, so that whoever wants it, may receive this great gift and possess it.’

Now, this Son is mine – He is my gift; and since He is mine, I know His loving secrets, His yearnings, His sighs, which are such that He reaches the point of crying, and with repeated sobs He tells Me: ‘My Mama, give Me to souls – I want souls.’  And I want what He wants; I can say that I sigh and cry together with Him, because I want everyone to possess my Son.  But I must keep His Life safe – the great gift that God entrusted to Me; this is why, when He descends into hearts sacramentally, I descend together with Him to secure my gift – I cannot leave Him alone.  Poor Son, if He did not have His Mama who descends together with Him…!  How badly they treat Him!  Some tell Him not even one ‘I love you’ from the heart, and I must love Him; some receive Him distracted, without thinking of the great gift they are receiving, and I pour Myself over Him so as not to let Him feel their distractions and coldness.  Some reach the point of making Him cry, and I calm His crying, and give sweet reproaches to the creatures, that they should not make Him cry.  How many moving scenes take place in the hearts that receive Him in the Sacrament!  There are souls who never content themselves with loving Him, and I give them my love, and even His own, so that they may love Him.  These are scenes of Heaven – the very Angels remain enraptured, and We feel cheered from the pains that the other creatures have given Us.  But who can tell you everything?  I am the bearer of Jesus, nor does He want to go without Me; so much so, that when the priest is about to pronounce the words of Consecration over the Holy Host, I make wings of my maternal hands, that He may descend in between my hands to be consecrated, so that, if unworthy hands touch Him, I make Him feel mine that defend Him and cover Him with my love.

But this is not enough. I am always on the lookout, to see whether they want my Son; so much so, that if some sinner repents of his grave sins and the light of grace dawns in his heart, I immediately bring him Jesus as confirmation of the forgiveness, and I Myself take care of everything that is needed so that He may remain in that converted heart.  I am the bearer of Jesus, and I am because I possess the Kingdom of His Divine Will in Me.  The Divine Will reveals to Me who wants Him, and I run – I fly to bring Him, but without ever leaving Him.  And I am not only bearer, but spectator and listener of what He does and says to souls.  Do you think that I was not present, listening to the many lessons that my dear Son has given you about His Divine Will?  Indeed I was present; I would listen, word by word, to what He would say to you; and in each word I would thank my Son and I would feel glorified twice as much, because He would speak of the Kingdom which I already possessed, which had been all my fortune and the cause of the great gift of my Son.  And in seeing Him speak, I would see the fortune of my children being grafted with mine.  Oh, how my Heart would rejoice!  All the lessons He has given you, and still more, are already written in my Heart; and in seeing Him repeat them to you, I would enjoy one more Paradise in each lesson.  And all the times you were not attentive and would forget, I would ask forgiveness on your behalf, and would pray Him to repeat His lessons.  And He, to make Me content – because He does not know how to deny anything to His Mama – would repeat His beautiful lessons to you.

My daughter, I am always with Jesus. However, sometimes I hide in Him, and it seems as if He did everything without His Mama; but I am within Him, I concur with Him, and I am aware of what He does.  Other times, He hides in His Mama and lets Me do things, but He always concurs with Me.  Other times, We reveal Ourselves, the two of Us together, and the souls see Mother and Son that love them very much, according to what the circumstances and their good requires; and many times it is the love which We cannot contain that takes Us to excesses for them.  But be certain that if my Son is present, I am also there; and if I am present, my Son is there too.  This is a task that was given to Me by the Supreme Being, from which I cannot withdraw, nor to I want to.  More so, since these are the joys of my Maternity, the fruits of my sorrows, the glory of the Kingdom which I possess, and the Will and the completion of the Sacrosanct Trinity.”

Luisa Piccarreta:

“These are my wishes for the new year – that you may live always in the Divine Volition, and that Jesus may make of you a missionary of the Divine Will.”

BOOK OF HEAVEN

FROM THE WRITINGS OF THE SERVANT OF GOD. LUISA PICCARRETA,

THE  LITTLE DAUGHTER OF THE DIVINE WILL

Volume 36 – December 28, 1938

  The Maternity of the Queen of Heaven.

….After this, I continued my round in the Divine Volition and I arrived at the point of the Birth of little Jesus, who was shivering for the cold, and wept and cried bitterly, with His Eyes all swallowed in tears. He looked at me, asking for help, and between sobs and sighs He told me: “My good daughter (Luisa), the lack of love from the creatures makes Me cry bitterly.  As I see that I am not loved, I feel wounded and the Pain is so Great that I burst into tears.  My Love runs over each creature, chasing her; It hides her while I replace her life with My Life of Love.  But creatures, ungrateful, don’t even say one ‘I love You.’  How could I not cry?  Therefore, Love Me and calm My tears.

“Now, My daughter (Luisa), listen to Me and pay attention. I want to tell you a Great Surprise of Our Love, and nothing must escape you.  I want you (Luisa) to know the extent of the Maternity of My Celestial Mother—what She did, how much it cost to Her, and what She is still doing.  You (Luisa)  must know that the Great Queen was not My Mother only in Conceiving Me, delivering Me to the light, feeding Me with Her milk, and offering Me all the possible cares that I needed during My Infancy; this was not enough, either to Her Maternal Love, or to My Love as her Son.  Her Maternal Love was always running through My Mind, and if Sorrowful thoughts were troubling Me, she laid Her Maternity in each one of them, hiding them inside Her Love and kissing them.  I could always feel My Mind as if it was hidden under Her Maternal Wings, that never left Me alone; each one of My Thoughts was kept by My Loving Mother, who gave Me all Her Maternal attentions.  Her Maternity was placed in each one of My Breaths and heartbeats; and if My Breath and heartbeats felt smothered by My Love and suffering, She would run with Her Maternity to free Me from My suffocating Love and put balm on My Pierced Heart.  If She looked, spoke, worked and walked—She ran, as a Mother, to receive in Her Maternal Love My Glances, Words, Works and steps, Investing them with Her Love and hiding them in Her Heart.  She would also make Her Maternal Love flow in the food She prepared for Me, so that while eating it, I could feel Her Loving Maternity.  How much more could I tell you of the expression of Her Maternity in My sufferings?  There was not a Pain, not a drop of the Blood I shed that was not felt by My Mother.  But after doing these things as My Mother, She would then take all My Pains and My Blood, and hide them inside Her Maternal Heart to Love them and continue Her Maternity.

“Who could say how much She Loved Me and how much I Loved Her? My Love was such that in everything, I could not be without feeling Her Maternity within me. I can say that She would run, never to leave Me alone, not even in My Breathing.  And I called her.  Her Maternity was for Me a need, a relief, a support for My Life down here.

“Now, My daughter (Luisa), listen to another Love Surprise of your Jesus and of our Heavenly Mother. In all We did, Love was never obstructed between Us; the Love of one ran into the Love of the other to form One Single Life.  But in wanting to do the same with creatures, how many obstructions, rejections, ingratitudes do we find.  You must know that as My inseparable Mother laid Her Maternity inside and outside of My Humanity, so She was made and Confirmed as Mother of every thought, every breath, every heartbeat and word of creatures, placing Her Maternity in their works, in their steps and in all their sufferings.  Her Maternity runs everywhere.  If creatures are in danger of falling into sin, she covers them with Her Maternity to prevent them from falling; and if they do, she leaves Her Maternity as help and defense, to make them stand up again.  Her Maternity runs and lays also on the souls who want to be good and holy, as if She found Her Jesus in them.  She becomes Mother of their intelligence, and Guide of their words, covering and hiding them in Her Maternal Love, in order to grow as many other Jesuses.  Her Maternity shows on the beds of the dying.  Using the rights of authority as Mother given to Her by Me, in such a tender tone that I cannot refuse Her anything, She says:  ‘My Son, I am the Mother, and they are My children; I must save them.  If You don’t grant Me this, My Maternity would be compromised.’  And as She says this, She covers them with Her Love, hiding them with Her Maternity to rescue them.

“My Love was such that I told her: ‘Mother, I want you to be the Mother of all, and I want you to do for all creatures all that you have done for Me, laying your Maternity in all their acts so that I will see them covered and hidden in your Maternal Love.’  My Mother accepted and remained Confirmed, not only as the Mother of all, but also as the One who would Invest each of their acts with Her Maternal Love.  This was one of the Greatest Graces I have given to the whole of human generations.  But what Pains does My Mother not receive?  Creatures even reach the point of not wanting to recognize Her Maternity—of denying it.  Therefore the whole of Heaven prays and anxiously waits for the Divine Will to be known and to Reign.  Then, the Great Queen will do to the children of My Will what She did for Her Jesus, and Her Maternity will have Life in Her children.

“I will give My own Place in Her Maternal Heart to those who Live in My Will. She will raise them for Me, guiding their steps and hiding them in Her Maternity and Sanctity.  Her Maternal Love and Her Sanctity will be Impressed in all their acts; they will be Her True Children, being like Me in everything.  O!  how I would Love everyone to know that if they want to Live in My Will, they have a Queen and a Powerful Mother who will compensate for all they lack.  She will raise them on Her Maternal lap, being with them in everything they do, molding their acts as Her own; to the extent that they will be known as the children grown, kept and educated by the Loving Maternity of My Mama.  These will be the ones who will make Her Happy, the ones who will be Her Glory and Honor.”

A Light on your Journey
For each Day of the Year.

January

1. These are my wishes for the new year – that you may live always in the Divine Volition, and that Jesus may make of you a missionary of the Divine Will.
2. We have an omnipotent Will with us; therefore there is nothing to fear.
3. I pray to Jesus that He may give you strength, and put Himself in the place of your heart, so as to heal the pain and provide for everything.
4. In the Divine Will you will find true peace, and you will give it to others; more so, since by doing the Divine Will, a sweet blood will descend into your veins, which will put to flight all troubles of soul and body.
5. As many pains as you suffer, as many tears as you shed, so many are the Angels around you, gathering, full handed, the pearls which you form with your sufferings, and bringing them to Jesus as pledges of your love.
6. With all my heart I pray and will pray for you. And you, be good – dignified. Always pray to Jesus that He may assist you.
7. Be sure that I will not forget you. Never be disturbed; these are storms that go by.
8. Think that Jesus continually says to you: “My child, forget about everything, and remember only that your Jesus wants love in order to give you love.”
9. He wants to make of you a saint, but wants your will in His hands in order to make of it a prodigy of sanctity.
10. Lean on Him, and you will see that all things – pains, crosses, miseries, weaknesses, the very defects, and illness – will
    lose their look and will all turn into messengers and bearers of sanctity.
11. If you sin and are not holy, do you want to know the cause? Lack of union with Jesus.
12. Don’t think about the past, this harms you a great deal; rather, even today, begin your life with Jesus.
13. I want you peaceful. Peace will be the flag which goes ahead, in order to prevent evil and do the good you desire.”
14. The Celestial Mama is preparing a chain of graces for you, and will keep her blue mantle laid upon your person in order
    to protect you and guard you.
15. But do you want to know why you feel the weight of your miseries? Because many times you do not try to be together
    with Jesus and to convince yourself that He is already with you, and you do not unite the pains of Jesus with yours.
16. Before the pains of Jesus, yours lose hardness, empty themselves of their weight, become small, and almost smile.
17. In the pains you suffer, in the prayers you say, in the work, in the food, in the sleep, say to Him from the heart: “Jesus, I
    want to do always your Will.”
18. Let us adore the judgments of God, just and holy, Who disposes everything for our good and to make us holy.
19. Your pains, your crosses, even though heavy, will serve the Divine Beggar, Who looks for our sufferings in order to
    form and continue His life within us.
20. All you have to say and do is this: “The Heart of Jesus wants me a saint: I must become a saint!” Have we
    understood each other?
21. Jesus too was mocked in His pains, but it was then that He triumphed; and by means of pains, He conquered our souls.
    Don’t you want to be like Him? You must know that your pains are written in the pains of Jesus, as triumph of His Love
    toward you.
22. Be sure that beloved Jesus will be jealous that you don’t lack what is necessary, and even the storms will calm down.
23. Look at all things as bearers of a Will so holy, and you will see that the Fiat will defend you.
24. Don’t get discouraged, do not fear, do not lose peace, abandon yourself more than ever in the arms of the Divine Will,
    and be tranquil, waiting in full confidence for the helps and means which are necessary to you.
25. Sufferings form the carriage which brings us to Heaven, and the more the sufferings, the faster it will go.
26. Each additional pain is a faster ride which takes us soon and straight to Heaven.
27. Courage, courage. All other things are left; while sufferings are brought to Heaven, and form our most beautiful throne
    and never ending glory.
28. My child, everything is in a strong, firm, constant resolution to deliver our will into the hands of Jesus, so that His Will
    may underlie each one of our acts.
29. In all our being, in the most natural acts of life – in food, in sleep, in sufferings, in prayer, and also in legitimate pleasures,
    the Divine Will must have Its royal place.
30. If the will is good, the heart is good; if the will is holy, the heart is holy. If our will gives place to the Divine, letting It raise
    Its throne in our will, the heart acquires the divine qualities by grace.
31. Look for the Divine Will in everything, and your being will become continuous prayer, in everything.

February

1. It is not the words that form prayer, but our union with the Divine Will.
2. I recommend that you never leave prayer. Have great confidence in God.
3. As we decide to always do His Will and to live in It, sweet Jesus covers all our past miseries in order to let us begin the
   new life, all holy, and all of Heaven.
4. In the secret of our heart, Jesus says to us: “My daughter, if you do what I want, I will take on the commitment of
   all your things. I can do them better than you – do not worry about anything; let Me do and you’ll see.”
5. The Divine Fiat is that which must embrace us, enclose us within Itself, in such a way as to consume us completely in the
   Divine Will.
6. To live in order to be consumed in love is the most beautiful act.
7. All you should care about is to do the Divine Will, and to know It in every circumstance of your life.
8. We should never get discouraged or lose peace, when we are not answered immediately.
9. When there is prayer, the hour of the Lord will come and He will give us more than we ask for.
10. Peace, trust, courage, resignation and prayer, and the Lord won’t be missing to you. All that the Lord allows for you is
    nothing but means to become a saint.
11. Learn a little bit to be alone with Jesus, and He will be with you.
12. I wish you the peace of the Fiat, that It may make the full day arise in you – always serene.
13. Peace can be called daylight of God, in which the Divine Volition forms Its day of ever growing sanctity, and ever new
    graces.
14. One single act we do in the Divine Will is so great as to surpass the greatness of Heaven and earth.
15. Let us do the greater part, that is, the Divine Will – and everything else will come by itself; or rather… more than we
    ourselves, Our Lord will take care of it.
16. The Celestial Mama comes to visit you and to be your Mother, Teacher and Consoler; and also to give you Her sweet
    company in order to teach you how to live from the Divine Will.
17. My brother, courage, trust, for you have a Celestial Mama who loves you very much, and who will never leave you.
18. If you do the Divine Will…oh, how It will change your bitterness! You will feel a true divine strength that will ease your
    painful state.
19. If there is peace, there is God; and peace is the sign that the Divine Will reigns as life, or at least as virtue.
20. My child, remove the sadness from your soul; do not get discouraged or disturbed; hold peace as the greatest treasure.
21. Mortifications, adversities and sorrows are the messengers that Jesus sends to us, His little warning letters, the
    unexpected telegrams, which bring us the good news of how much Jesus loves us.
22. Without the cross it would be as if we had no correspondence with our beloved Jesus, and as if He had made no design
    upon us… Ah, no, may Heaven save us from this misfortune!
23. I recommend to you peace, courage and true resignation, and you will see what the Lord will make of you.
24. Do not stop reading the book of “The Queen of Heaven”, in order to better learn how to live in the Divine Volition.
25. Courage, trust and abandonment in the arms of our adorable Jesus.
26. There are tears of the heart – the tears of the soul, which are more bitter and transform us into our beloved Jesus.
27. Let us be attentive – let us live as if we had no other life, no other word, but the Divine Will.
28. May Heaven, dear Jesus and our Queen and Mother reward you for everything; even more, in exchange I will pray that
    they may give you the royal garment of the Divine Will.

March

1. Don’t lose heart because of the difficulties and the circumstances of life; they are steps which make us go higher in the
   Divine Volition.
2. Especially in painful circumstances, dear Jesus takes us by the hand to make us rise higher and achieve beautiful
   conquests – not human, but divine.
3. Oh, how I’d love to hear that you are always in the Divine Will!
4. How beautiful it is to live in the Divine Volition! Everything is ours; God Himself feels the need to give Himself at the
   mercy of His creatures, to love them and to be loved by them.
5. Put everything with filial abandonment into the hands of God and of the Queen – They, who love us so much and want
   to be loved.
6. Crosses make us be reborn to a new life of sanctity and of Grace.
7. Let us make everything flow in the Holy Will, if we want It to perform Its prodigies of love in our soul.
8. God Himself faces up to all our things and puts His Sanctity, His Love, all His Being at our disposal, as long as He
   receives the contentment of seeing us live in that Volition which is the bearer of all His goods.
9. As far as weaknesses, miseries and the like, as long as our will is not there, don’t worry, since that is our ruin.
10. I recommend that you do not think of miseries and weaknesses. The more one thinks about them, the more he feels
    them.
11. Try as much as you can to make the Divine Will known to everyone; in this way you will obtain the grace to know It
    more yourselves.
12. Oh, how good is Jesus! If we knew Him, we would die enraptured with love.
13. Only the doubt that Jesus does not love us very much, saddens Jesus and embitters Him.
14. The cause, I believe, of everything you tell me, is lack of union with Jesus in all your things. The enemy finds you alone,
    without Jesus, and does his own crafting in you, disturbs you, and takes peace away from your heart.
15. Remain always with Jesus, both in spiritual and in material things, and Jesus will take care of giving you peace.
16. Everything you suffer, and even your coldness, give it to Him in order to relieve Him and repair Him.
17. Jesus wants harmony and concord among you, and He will be in your midst.
18. Jesus alone can comfort us in our sufferings. Therefore, let us turn to Him alone; let us throw ourselves into His arms like
    tender babies; and if pain makes us cry, let us wet His paternal hands with our tears.
19. Fears, doubts, agitation, are laces which bind us to ourselves, and take the freshness of love away from us; even more,
    they make it wither and snatch us from the arms of Jesus.
20. My daughter, until you strip yourself of everything, even of holy tastes, Jesus, the kidnapper of hearts, will not give you
    His divine tastes.
21. Be on guard for everything which is not peace, because fears and restlessness, even under the aspect of good, are
    always infernal breaths and rags of hell.
22. If you love Jesus, be at peace; whatever the circumstances may be, never get disturbed, and remain in full trust like a
    baby in the arms of Jesus.
23. Let us learn from this exile how one must live in Heaven!
24. Do not afflict yourself with what you feel in the depth of your soul; these are works that Jesus does in order to
    accomplish His great designs.
25. Never lose peace in these circumstances, because the storm will be over – everything ends down here – but peace does
    not end; rather, it is the carriage which brings us to Heaven.
26. Do not neglect anything, give example of a firm character, be always the same with yourself. Don’t let the devil laugh,
    because if your are not firm and always the same, the enemy will say to you: “You wanted to do good to others, and
    you were unable to do it to yourself.”
27. So does Our Lord, Divine Architect: He strikes the iron of our soul in order to remove the rust, to soften us and give us
    the shape of the object He wants to make of us.
28. Peace is the smile of the soul, and the spring which makes the little ground of our soul bloom; it removes from us the veil
    of disturbance and reveals to us the One Who loves us so much.
29. Despondency exhausts courage and strength, and renders us unable to do good.
30. Don’t you feel in your heart the presence of a powerful hand that guides you?
31. Abandon yourself in the Divine Volition like a little baby, and you will feel a new strength, a new light arise.

April

1. In order to do some good, it takes someone who feels the life of that good. If this life is not felt, it will be done in a
   forced way and even badly.
2. Be sure, my daughter, Jesus loves you and wants you good and holy. Do not listen to the enemy, who would want to
   snatch the gift from the hands of Jesus.
3. Do not pay attention to doubts or anything which is not peace.
4. I send you my wishes of a good Easter: let the Divine Will rise again in you.
5. The most beautiful wish I can send you is that your will may rise again in the Divine Will, so that you may take your
   place of honor in the whole order of Creation, where God wants us to be.
6. My wish is that our will may rise again in His; in this way, you will give work to Jesus.
7. If the enemy torments you, determined, say to him: “These are things that don’t belong to me. I don’t want to steal
   from anyone, not even from hell.”
8. Unshakable firmness in good. Interest yourself in nothing but Jesus.
9. Not wanting to obey means not wanting to do the Will of God!
10. As far as the future, don’t worry about it either, because it is not ours, but belongs to God.
11. Draw everything from sweet Jesus, and He will be generous to you. Don’t get distressed about anything; do not fear,
    because Jesus will take care of everything.
12. The Divine Will will be the true Sun for you, which will make the night of troubles disappear, forming the smiling spring
    of the most beautiful flowers.
13. The Divine Fiat awaits you, to say to you: “Give me life in your acts and I will make you a saint. And everything
    will turn into happiness.”
14. What a magic force, what powerful magnet does the Divine Will possess! In the hardest pains It knows how to give
    rest, placing Its balm on the most embittered wounds.
15. I can tell you nothing but this: may the Divine Will cover you and hide you within Itself, but so much so as to feel nothing
    but Will of God within you.
16. The origin of our existence was formed in the center of the Supreme Fiat.
17. God created our human will as His divine room, as a secret office, in which He was to live together with us.
18. Disturbance is not food for Jesus. Peace forms the day, and converts everything we do into love.
19. Do you want to know how to grow in the FIAT? By calling it in everything you do, whether natural or spiritual.
20. Say to dear Jesus with all your heart that you want to live in His Will, that you want to know nothing but His Will alone.
21. Let us be attentive! Let us not give this sorrow to our dear Jesus – to live without the life of the Supreme Fiat.
22. There is no greater love I could have for you, but to wish to see you enclosed in the Divine Will.
23. Everything you have done, both for yourself and for others, is seeds that you have formed – seeds which make the Life
    of the Divine Will be born again.
24. Nothing is lost for us if we really want to live from the Divine Will. This Life exists within us, it did not escape; however,
    one must not abandon it, but make it grow and nourish it.
25. The Will of God is ours – and Life of ours. God gave it to us, as principle of life, in the act of creating us, when He brought us to the light.
26. It seems to me that dear Jesus surrounds you with these pains in order to give you strength, and with tender and loving
    voice, He says to you: “My child, give these pains to Me, that they may form my arms, my heart, my steps – my
    whole Life, to be able to live within you.”
27. We must be convinced – not the great things make us saints, but the little ones, which we have in our power and which
    serve as the nourishment of sanctity.
28. If we only knew how many miracles and prodigies are enclosed in the Life of the Divine Will, we would give our lives to
    receive so many goods.
29. Let us pray and look for our place in the Divine Will. Let us make of our will the secret cell in which Jesus speaks to us
    and reveals to us His secrets, but in which He also reveals to us His pains.
30. Oh, how I wish you would occupy yourself with nothing but living of Divine Will, to let sweet Jesus live always together
    with you.

May

1. If you want to be a saint, live always with Jesus. He takes on the commitment to make of you His faithful copy.
2. I do nothing but pray that the Divine Will may give you the greatest grace – of enclosing you in His Will, in which you
   will find everything you need to make yourself a great saint.
3. Love will make everything easy for you; more so, since you will no longer do anything by yourself, but always with a
   Will so Holy, which can do everything.
4. There is nothing left for us in life but to close our ears to everything, if we want to be at peace even in the midst of the
   greatest storms.
5. There is nothing more beautiful than the sanctity that, in everything, looks at the Divine Will.
6. Therefore, let us be attentive; let us not leave the Divine Will, which is for us the bearer of all goods.
7. I recommend that you sow the seed of the Divine Will in the souls as principle of Life.
8. In whatever state you feel, be always tranquil – do not think of cold or warm. The Divine Will is more than everything:
   more than prayer, more than recollection, more than fervor, more than miracles – more than everything.
9. Let us remain always united in the Divine Will.
10. What I recommend is that you look at your crosses as many visits from Jesus, Who brings you the life of the Divine
    Will, to make It reign in you and to give you all His love as food.
11. If you do the Will of God, you will feel a strength in all your sufferings; you will feel an invisible hand which helps you,
    guides you, and does whatever you do within you.
12. When one does the Will of God, the work is more of God than ours.
13. Live in It, and you can be sure that you will make yourself a saint. You will feel the bond and the association with the
    Divine Family.
14. If Jesus does not find His Will in us, He does not find the adaptable material to make us saints.
15. Every act of Will of God that we do creates His Life in us, and we form the long generation of God in our acts.
16. Oh power of the Divine Will – as soon as the soul decides and wants to live in It, the Most Holy Trinity takes Its prime
    operating place in her.
17. Let us hold dear taking refuge in the Divine Will as our life.
18. Oh, how I would love to hear you say: “I do not think about whether I am beautiful or bad, or whether I am cold
    or warm. My thought is to make all my acts and my being flow in the Will of God.”
19. Every additional act we do in the Divine Will is a new birth for us. We are reborn in Jesus, and He in us.
20. We are under the weight of humiliations, everyone runs away from us, and some regretted having known us. This
    happened also to Jesus. But may the Divine Will be always done. It alone is faithful.
21. I send you my wishes, that you may raise Little Baby Jesus in your soul and live together with Him, watching Him
    constantly in your interior in order to do whatever He does.
22. Jesus needs to repeat His Life upon earth, and He can do so in one who submits himself to anything, and who does His
    adorable Will.
23. Never lose heart; never be disturbed; try to live abandoned in the arms of Jesus, and He will be your Mama, your
    Father and your custodian.
24. I beg you never to go out of His Will. In this way, the Lord will give you His own Love to love Him, His own Sanctity
    to make yourself a saint, His own Peace in the storms of life.
25. What sorrow for our dear Jesus! To have children who do not live with Him, and therefore do not love with His Love,
    and are not saints of His own Sanctity.
26. I recommend to you: never go out of the Divine Will; keep It as your life, nourishment, royal garment and dwelling.
27. It is a divine decree that the Divine Will will form Its Kingdom upon earth.
28. Let us pray, and let us offer our little pains to obtain the triumph of the Divine Will upon earth.
29. As we desire to do His Will, the Sacrosanct Trinity gives us His Love, covers us with His Beauty, gives us His
    Goodness, that we may feel the divine order.
30. Only in His Will are we able to say: “I have loved Jesus; I have done everything He wants. I have done
    everything, and I have given Him everything – even Jesus Himself.”
31. Every time we do an act in His Holy Will, we go to meet the whole of Heaven, and all of Heaven comes to meet us.

June

1. Every time we do an act in the Divine Will, the human will goes through a martyrdom – not of blood, but of will, which
   never dies.
2. My good daughter, it is necessary to die to everything in order to rise again to all goods and to true sanctity. But it is so
   sweet to be able to say: “Crucified You, O my Jesus – crucified I. Slandered, despised, abandoned by all, You –
   slandered, despised and abandoned I. So, O Jesus, we look alike.”
3. In each one of our acts done in the Divine Will, also natural, in the most tiny things, even in one breath, we can form a
   martyrdom, not human, but divine.
4. Let us never move away from His Will, even at the cost of our lives.
5. In every circumstance, let us never lose peace, and let us run into the arms of Jesus as our refuge. In this way we will be
   safe!
6. It is enough to say that one single act done in the Divine Will storms Heaven; we make the seas of love of the Queen of
   Heaven and of the very Divinity our own, and we give them back to God as seas of love which belong to us.
7. Do we want to put everything in a safe place – sanctity, and the very life of Jesus within us? Let us do the Divine Will.
   Let us live in It, more than if It were our own life.
8. Oh, how happy we will feel, living of Divine Will!
9. Let us not lose our place of honor of living in the Divine Will. Let us content ourselves with dying, rather than not doing
   the Divine Will.
10. Let us not change in the different circumstances of life; many times they serve to make us copy and imitate our dear
    Jesus.
11. In each one of our acts, even natural – because our nature was given to us by God – we will be invested with new
    beauty, with new love, with new divine strength.
12. If we live in the Divine Volition, even our breath, our steps, our motion, run within the breathing, in the steps and in the
    motion of all, to give back to God love for each breath, prayer for each step, glory for every motion.
13. The Divine Will is everywhere and we, by living in It, find ourselves in Heaven and on earth to love Him with all, in all,
    and in every place.
14. The Saints, the Queen of Heaven and God Himself anxiously await the “I love You” of one who lives in His Will,
    because it is a new gain that they make.
15. The “I love You” of the earth resounds in Heaven, in each Blessed, in the seas of the Celestial Mama, and says to all:
    “I love You, I love You…”
16. May we take to heart living always in the Divine Will; in It we will form seas of love, seas of adoration, seas of glory, to
    give to our Creator.
17. Goodness of God! If only our acts enter the Divine Volition, everything is changed into divine in us, and what is human
    no longer has life.
18. In all circumstances, even painful, you will have a refuge in which to take shelter. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms
    to receive you and to help you to form within you the noble martyrdom of the Divine Will.
19. Let us remain always united in the Divine Will, from which we will draw the strength and the sanctity He wants from us.
20. Our most interesting task is to live of Will of God. If we do this, we do everything.
21. If we do much without the Divine Will, it is just little drops. Therefore, I placed everything in the Divine Volition, so that
    It may do whatever It wants. But, be certain that Its Kingdom will come upon earth.
22. Let us pray, let us do this Will so Holy and let us live in It. May It be our breath and heartbeat. If we do so, we will be
    carried in the divine arms; It will lower Itself to breathe in our breathing, to beat in our heartbeat, to move in our motion.
    Then, in the ardor of our love, we will say to Him: “I love You for all, and for love of You, I give You the heartbeat,
    the breath, the motion of all.”
23. The creature who loves in the Divine Will is not content if she does not find her place in all, to love the One Who so
    much loves her.
24. If we pray, if we adore, and even if we sigh in this Will so holy, we become life of all, and we give God all that everyone
    should give Him.
25. I recommend that you do not lose peace, and that you live so abandoned in the Divine Will as to feel It as your own life.
26. In each pain, dear Jesus will give you a kiss, a hug, and will adorn your soul with most refulgent gems.
27. Courage, my child; never lose heart; never get discouraged. It is Jesus that wants His child similar to Himself; aren’t you
    happy?
28. Dear Jesus will give you His pains as courtship, strength and company.
29. What I recommend to you is that the Divine Will be your life, your breath, the beating of your heart, your continuous
    motion. It is the greatest miracle that the Lord can make for you, and the highest sanctity we can possibly reach.
30. Those who today love to live in the Divine Will and to know It, form the seed, the conception, and maybe even the birth
    of this Divine Volition within their souls.

July

1. You must know that the sanctity of living in the Divine Will is nothing other than a birth which the Divine Sanctity makes
   in the creatures. It is the greatest miracle It can perform in the creatures.
2. The Sun never says a word; It allows Its light to be trodden by our steps; It follows us everywhere, and all the glory and
   honor is of God, who made It Sun. Such is the soul who lives in the Divine Will, whom the Lord uses to do good to all, and from whom He receives glory and honor, as if all had loved Him.
3. The Divine Will has such surprises in the soul that the Heavens are astonished and the Angels remain mute in seeing our
   Creator enclosed in our tiny act.
4. In the Divine Will you will feel that it is not you who are speaking, working, walking, loving, but it is Jesus who speaks,
   works, walks and loves.
5. May the Divine Volition reward you by making you know Its Divine Will, because Its life grows in us as we get to know
   It. A good cannot be possessed if it is not known.
6. You must know that in everything we do in order to make the Divine Will known, His Love is so great that He Himself
   does it within us: it is He who speaks, works, and pushes us. His contentment is so great that He Himself does
   everything.
7. Dear Jesus, in order to give us His likeness, creates pain by the touch of His paternal fingers, and makes the most
   beautiful pearls, the most refulgent suns, the most expensive diamonds come out from it; and He gives us His most
   ardent kisses and the tightest hugs.
8. Jesus wants to make the Divine Will known to all, so that It may be possessed, because when we possess It, It works
   the most beautiful wonders and the greatest prodigies in our souls.
9. Each thought of yourself is a little escape from the arms of Jesus.
10. Patience, my child, dear Jesus wants to make you mature more in sanctity, and His Divine Volition wants to hasten Its
    life in your soul.
11. Disturbances, fears, little mistrusts, are the night of the soul and make her see all things as opposite to what they are.
12. The love of Jesus, His sighs and also His tears for desire that His Will reign in us as life, are such that He never leaves us
    alone; He Himself descends into the depth of our will; He molds it, strengthens it, purifies it, prepares it, and does all
    that we do together with us.
13. What I want – and this is all my interest – is that you keep growing in the Divine Will. Do not pay attention to your little
    passions – they themselves feel crushed and agonizing, when they have to deal with a resolute soul.
14. The mind toward Heaven, the gaze to the Cross, the heart loving Him, the arms always in the act of hugging Him, the
    steps calling Him, the words saying always “Fiat”. In each thing never escape from acquiring a degree of sanctity. Make
    yourself a saint; Jesus wants it, make Him content.
15. Be attentive, my daughter; when dear Jesus wants to give, He asks, in order to prepare the space in which to place His
    gifts, His light, His graces in our hearts.
16. Resignation is what renders the cross lovable, beautiful and precious. Resignation empties the cross and renders it light,
    making a sweet blood descend into our veins, which sweetens its bitterness.
17. When our wills are fused with Jesus, the cross is no longer a cross, but a precious treasure, a divine gain, and the coin
    for Heaven!
18. Do not fear – when the Fiat takes on the commitment, no one can resist It.
19. To live of Will of God means to love God with His own Love; and since the Divine Will is everywhere, we love Him for
    all and in all.
20. What the Divine Will does in one who lives in It is unspeakable, incomprehensible, and so amazing as to astonish
    Heaven and earth; even the Angels remain speechless.
21. And here is the Holy Divine Will coming before me and saying: “My Will never ends; I have always some to give.
    Therefore, send her, as wish, my Love which rises continuously, my sanctity which is ever new, my virtue which
    is always working.”
22. Here is my little wish: your will at the mercy of the Divine Will. In this way you will feel within you the Sanctity, the love
    and the works of the Supreme Fiat as your own. Your life will no longer be of the earth, but of Heaven.
23. This is the only happiness of Jesus: that the soul live in His Will, because He can give her whatever He wants, and can
    make of her one of the greatest portents of sanctity.
24. Oh, how I wish you would occupy yourself with nothing but living of Divine Will, to let sweet Jesus live always together
    with you. Never lose sight of Him, my child; never leave Him alone in your heart.
25. All we should care about is to bring with us the Will of God, which is not a house made of stone, but of Light
26. If you want to be safe, live in the Divine Will, and It will know how to defend you from everything and from everyone, in
    whatever place you are.
27. My child, I recommend to you – remain always in the Divine Will. It will take to heart all of our troubles; It will keep us
    on Its paternal knees, clinging to Its womb of Light, to be our defense, help, refuge and the balm in our sufferings.
28. Every additional act we do – may it be even little and natural – increases in us new divine likeness, new love, new
    sanctity, new beauty. On the other hand, every act – may it be even a great one – which does not have the Life of the
    Divine Will as foundation, takes us away from His likeness, reduces love, fades Its beauty, closes Heaven to all goods,
    and forms the sorrow of God.
29. By living in the Divine Will, our destiny is secured. We will have the strength of God in our power.
30. If God receives, He gives. He rewards even one thought of ours, one sigh, one movement done to fulfill His Will. And
    He says: “The creature has sighed to do my Will; I must pay her.” And do you want to know what pay He gives
    us? An imperturbable peace, a strength which is such as to be able to bear anything.
31. To feel pleasures, imperfections, weaknesses, is not evil. Wanting them is ugly, because the Lord does not care about
    what we feel, but about what we want.

August

1. Our own nature is formed with many little acts – the breath, the heartbeat, the motion; yet, they form our life. And if we
   lacked even one breath, our life – we could say – is ended. So we can say if our little acts are not animated by the Will
   of God.
2. I beg you to live always in the Divine Will. I pray that Jesus will seal It in your mind, on your lips, in your heartbeat, in
   the movements of your hands, and even in your breath.
3. Jesus loves us so much as to endow us with His Love, His Sanctity, His Light and perennial peace, and He declares us
   His legitimate children.
4. If we do the Divine Will, It carries us in Its arms. He Himself descends in all our acts to place in them His Sanctity, His Love, His Strength, His Light, and He becomes our refuge and our life. So, there is nothing we should fear.
5. I recommend that you never move away from the Divine Will. Live always in Its maternal arms, like a baby in the arms
   of his mother.
6. How happy you will feel, thinking that your sufferings serve to save souls, to console Jesus, to kiss His wounds, to tell
   Him that you love Him! In every pain you suffer, tell Jesus to bring you His Love. Love Him always, and Jesus will be
   wounded by your love and will love you more.
7. May the Divine Will be your dwelling, your food, your life.
8. Pluck up courage, and if you want to became a saint and to please Jesus more, enclose yourself in the Holy Will of
   God; hold It as more than your own life. May It be your continuous food, your refuge, your help, your strength.
9. Unite your pains together with those of Jesus, that they may be missionaries throughout the world, just like the pains of
   Jesus, and you too will feel happy.
10. I can only pray that dear Jesus will make you live of Divine Will, because It alone can make us happy, and can make us
    saints of His own sanctity.
11. Jesus wants to display His love, but our will is small and He doesn’t know where to put it. He wants to give us
    surprising graces, but our will is incapable of receiving them. This is why He wants to find in us His Holy Will – not only
    to give us what He wants, but to make of us His faithful images.
12. Let us take to heart living in the Divine Will. It will keep us sheltered, protected from all dangers and free from all evils.
13. Pluck up courage, dear Jesus will not leave you alone. It is sufferings that wound His Heart and draw Him with an
    irresistible force to be together with the creature, to give her the merit of His own pains, and to adorn her with divine
    marks.
14. I recommend to you – let Jesus find you in His Most Holy Will, and He will make a prodigy of your soul. And the more
    you feel alone, the more you will feel close to Jesus.
15. I promise to enclose you in the Holy Will of God, that your acts may be animated by Divine Sanctity, by His infinite
    Love and by His incomparable Light and Beauty.
16. May the Divine Will be everything for us. May It be our refuge, our life, our All.
17. I am sorry for your painful state, but you must know that the Divine Will has Its plans and works to do. So, if you think
    that the Divine Will is working you, your tears and anguish will cease.
18. Abandon yourself to the Divine Will. Let Its Divine Life rise again in all your sufferings.
19. This is exactly what the Divine Will can do: give Itself completely, in order to vaunt forming Its Life in the creature.
20. I recommend to you – let us always do the Divine Will. It will put to flight all passions; It will clothe us with royal
    garments of light. We will be the terror of demons, and will give God the new joys which the Divine Will can give.
21. Oh, how Jesus longs for it, and reaches the point of crying for the desire that we know the Holy Divine Will, and that It
    reign and dominate in the whole world.
22. Poor Jesus, how much He suffers! And how He sighs and cries because the creatures do not pray Him, do not press
    Him to concede them the gift of living in the Will of God.
23. The seas of the Divine Will are not yet known. If they were known, all would dive into the sea of the Divine Volition to
    live perennial life in It.
24. I beg you to never put aside the Divine Will. Let It be your life, your breath and heartbeat.
25. If you want to make yourself a saint, if you want peace and to give peace to all, if you want a divine power to invest you
    and transform you into Jesus Himself – I beg you to think of nothing else but to live in the Divine Will.
26. What I recommend to you is to never leave the Will of God. Never look at the one who commands you if you want to
    possess peace and let the Divine Will reign in your soul.
27. Oh, how I’d love to find you always in the sea of the Divine Will! Every tiniest act of yours would cover you with Its
    sanctity, with Its love, with Its peace, and you would feel as though repatriated into the Celestial Fatherland.
28. I recommend that you stay away from people who can do harm to your soul, because they can poison you.
29. Make yourself a saint, and sweet Jesus, together with His Mother, will take care of making you content.
30. May the Lord give you the grace to remain firm in the good you started, because those who begin and persevere will be
    rewarded.
31. It is well known how easily creatures change – today they smile at us, tomorrow they will turn their back on us. We can
    trust God and our Queen alone, because they really love us, without the shadow of interest. They love us because they
    want to see us happy and holy.

September

1. On the hard path of life, always trust the Celestial Mother, and do always the Divine Will.
2. I recommend to you: be good, love Jesus very much, never leave prayer, make yourself a saint. If you do this, you will
   find the doors opened; you will possess the peace of the children of God.
3. First form your life as filled with goodness, patience and perfect resignation, because true resignation keeps Heaven
   open for us.
4. We are temples of God. And with God in our hearts, what can we lack?
5. Do not be in a hurry – everything is written in Heaven. It will happen when God wants. Do not be concerned about the
   necessary means; the Lord abounds with those who love Him. Rather, you should fear more not being good.
6. I recommend to you – be good; the rest with come by itself. The Lord and the Queen are very rich, and as They give to
   us, their riches do not decrease. Therefore, be sure that you will lack nothing of the necessary things.
7. Remove that which disturbs you. Be at peace, expecting everything from your Celestial Mama, and abandoning yourself
   in the Divine Will.
8. Love your Celestial Mama very much, and she will take care of everything you need.
9. Be good, and never leave prayer. Do not trust the creatures, but only Jesus.
10. Trust in the Supreme Will, and you will experience great prodigies.
11. Place everything in the hands of God, and He will take care of your destiny. Do not get discouraged; be good. Never
    leave prayer; it is our refuge, the gate to Heaven, the path and the key which opens the doors of all graces for us.
12. The mind toward Heaven, the gaze to the Cross, the heart loving Him, the arms always in the act of hugging Him, the
    steps calling Him, the words saying always “Fiat”.
13. Everything you do in the Divine Will will fly to Heaven, to anticipate your possession of It. Therefore, be attentive.
14. There is an extreme need for true sanctity, especially in the Priest, and only the Omnipotent “Fiat” of God has this
    power: to place in us the true order of sanctity with Its creative strength.
15. Peace makes us see things as they are before God, and not as creatures see them.
16. Peace gives us divine sight, and in circumstances, in humiliations, we see what God sees.
17. Each thought of yourself is a void of love that you form; you deny Jesus an act of love, and keep Jesus sighing for your
    little love. Think about it, and be attentive.
18. By doing the Divine Will, the very natural things necessary to our life, are transformed into prayer, adoration and love
    toward our sweet Jesus.
19. Peace is what constitutes happiness of families, not money. How many rich people are unhappy because peace does
    not reign in their families!
20. Three things I recommend to you: firmness in good, perennial peace, filial trust.
21. Trust will make you live like a little baby in the arms of his mama.
22. Union with Jesus floors all sins, love kills all passions, and abandonment in Him and trust are the nourishment in order to
    grow in sanctity.
23. Here is the means to sin no more: to be united with Jesus, love Him, and always do His Will.
24. The breath which the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat produces in the soul, is peace.
25. Peace will prepare your soul to live of Divine Will.
26. You say you have many crosses. Good sign, my child. Crosses are divine jealousies and little coins that our Lord gives
    us.
27. Together with Jesus, pains change their look, miseries disappear; and from pains, miseries and weaknesses the most
    beautiful conquests, celestial riches and the strength of God arise.
28. Always keep the Fiat on your lips, in your mind, and in your heart.
29. Oh, how happy will you feel, if in every pain you say, “This pain serves Jesus”!
30. Patience, trust, courage, is the bread of the strong, the heroism of martyrs. Therefore, courage!

October

1. Those who think of the past lose the present.
2. It is not that we must no longer feel our will: to operate on a dead will would be neither ours nor Jesus’ victory.
3. The Sanctity of living in the Divine Will is for all; or rather, to tell the truth, It is for all those who want It.
4. In the Kingdom of the Divine Will no one loses, we are all winners, both God and the creature.
5. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is nothing other than the immense Reign of His Will.
6. How I would love for everyone to understand this great secret – that, if we want it, we must let the Divine Will reign in
   us.
7. How many graces not obtained, how many obstructed sanctities, how many unhappy people, and with no peace,
   because the primary food of the Fiat is missing – the life of Jesus is missing within us! Here is all the trouble!
8. Sanctity is not formed by playing, but by working, suffering and loving.
9. Mortifications, adversities, crosses, come to us veiled and do not let us see the good which they contain.
10. Peace removes the veil and allows us to recognize the finger of God in our sufferings.
11. Never neglect the Rosary to the Celestial Mother.
12. When the Divine Volition wants to reign in the soul, It first sends Its message of peace.
13. It is not our occupations that take us away from Him, but our will – the thought of ourselves – that make us put Jesus
    aside, even in good.
14. For one who is with Him, the most indifferent things, works, sacrifices – are prayers, adorations and love; he feels the
    Tabernacle in his own heart, and Jesus living within himself.
15. We are small; if we think of ourselves, Jesus will find no space in which to put Himself.
16. Without a cross we are like unripened fruits – like sterile plants, which do more harm than good.
17. Jesus feels the need to make of the creatures the repeaters of His Life, and He does so on the stake of suffering and
    love.
18. Sufferings are firewood, and love ignites it, while Jesus gives us the shape He wants.
19. Jesus does not look at what we feel, but at what we want.
20. Courage and trust; these are the weapons which conquer God. The essential thing is really to begin; the rest will come
    by itself.
21. Love calls for more love. The more we believe He loves us, the more we feel like loving Him; and Jesus, seeing Himself
    loved, loves us more.
22. Prayer will defend us from the shadow of the enemy, and will cover us with the divine shadow.
23. Jesus burns with love in the Most Holy Sacrament and wants to come into our hearts in order to pour out His flames;
    while if we abstain, He burns more.
24. I recommend to you “The Hours of the Passion”. Form continuous chains of reparation around Jesus; unite all your
    actions to them, so that this sweet chain of reparation may never be broken.
25. Peace will be your heritage, the Divine Will your life, trust the powerful magnet which will capture blessed Jesus to dwell
    in your heart.
26. With Jesus it takes patience, faithfulness and peace, in order to let Him proceed in the work of forming the Kingdom of
    the Divine Fiat.
27. From the storms you must draw light, courage and peace.
28. Never be disturbed, because disturbance is the true hail of the soul, destroyer of the true goods.
29. But if you want peace, you must live from the Divine Will.
30. Place the Fiat before and after each one of your acts.
31. Peace, peace, my child. And you will certainly find peace if you look at the Divine Will in everything.

November

1. We must obey and make ourselves saints, not for our interest, but for the glory of God.
2. Doubt, fear and agitation do not come from God, but from the devil.
3. Never deny enything to the Divine Will. To deny something to It, not letting oneself be dominated by It, means to break
   the sanctity, to tear it to shreds, in such a way that we ourselves will not be able to make head or tail of anything.
4. Love peace and everything will smile at you.
5. Let all things be Will of God for you.
6. How could anyone live without a Will so holy? It would be as though living without breathing, without motion, without
   the principle for which we have been created.
7. For us, to live in the Divine Will is a sacrosanct duty.
8. Whatever one does for God is never lost.
9. “Whatever God wants, I want; whatever God does, I do”.
10. The Heavens open at these acclamations in order to unite
    Creator and creature. Continue your mission, and offer it for the triumph of the Divine Will.
11. May your life be nothing but a continuous act of the Will of God.
12. All other things, as beautiful as they might be, can serve to form His works, but only the Divine Will serves to form His
    Life.
13. May the Divine Will be our only refuge, the balm in our sufferings, the hiding place when they persecute us.
14. In everything we can do and suffer, may the triumph of the Divine Will be our only purpose.
15. It takes nothing but a firm decision of wanting to live in the Holy Will.
16. With the most tiny things, with trifles, we can form the little stones to give the Divine Fiat the material to build our
    sanctity.
17. Our lot changes when we don’t do the Divine Will.
18. If the Divine Fiat is known, the kingdom of the enemy is over. Here is all his rage.
19. Offer your sufferings, and even your little natural acts, to obtain a good so great.
20. The thought of ourselves removes the thought of God from us and takes away sanctity, making us grow sickly in good.
21. The thing that most facilitates living in the Divine Will, is to do whatever we can – and because God wants it; a Fiat is
    impressed in our act, and the Divine Life is formed.
22. As long as you keep the thought of yourself, even in good, Jesus will not take the reins to lead you and to make of you
    another Jesus.
23. Jesus reigns in peaceful souls.
24. What I care about is that we live of Divine Will, because these are all the sighs, the yearnings of Jesus, and maybe even
    His tears, as He does not see in us the purpose for which He created us: His divine likeness.
25. Anything which is not peace ever comes from God, but always from our enemy.
26. Order to become saints, nothing is needed but courage, trust and peace.
27. His Most Holy Will circulates in all and gives life to all.
28. It is true that the times are sad, and who knows where we will end up, but if we do the Divine Will and live in It, Jesus
    will come and take refuge in us, because He will find His own Will offering Him His own Heaven, His worthy dwelling.
29. With courage we will challenge everyone, and with trust we will live safely in the Heart and in the arms of our sweet
    Jesus.
30. My child, I recommend that you never move away from the Holy Will of God. Call upon It in every instant, in every
    pain, in all circumstances.
31. Make yourselves saints, but saints of Divine Will.

December

1. As many times as you do the Will of God instead of doing your own, so many times you will be able to say: “I am
   martyr for You; the martyrdom I offer You is not of blood or of flesh, but with my will united to Yours, I offer
   You a divine martyrdom.”
2. Only the Divine Will is the origin of our life, the means and the end of our existence.
3. To love in the Divine Will astonishes Heaven and earth.
4. The time will come when Jesus will triumph over all, and His kingdom on earth will certainly come on earth.
5. Blessed are those who interest themselves in His Will, because the Lord will use them to open the ways which had been
   closed.
6. The Sanctity of living in the Divine Will is symbolized by the Sun, which does good to all, gives Itself to all, denies Itself
   to no one.
7. All the effort of the enemy is to prevent the knowledge of the Divine Will from coming to light, because he would lose
   his kingdom on earth.
8. The first thing that the Divine Will does when It is known is to transform us in good, and to floor our passions.
9. Oh, how I wish that all would understand what it means to live in the Divine Will!

12. How beautiful it is to be able to say: “Jesus is the master of all. May He do whatever He wants – even with my
    breath, with my heartbeat, and with my whole being!”
13. Have no fear – pluck up courage. Fear is of the vile and of those who do not trust God.
14. Let us be attentive, and let us not waste time with things which do not belong to the Divine Will.
15. The Lord does not teach difficult things. What He wants is precisely the little things, because they are easier to do, and
    we cannot find an excuse and say: “I could not do it.”
16. When dear Jesus wants to give, He asks, in order to prepare the space in which to place His gifts, His light, His graces
    in our hearts.
17. Every additional act we do in the Divine Will is one more divine likeness that we receive.
18. Let us never allow the Divine Will to escape us – both in small and in great things; both in spiritual and in natural things.
19. Think that every pain you suffer is an “I love you”,a kiss, an affection, a hug that Jesus sends to you.
20. May the continuous word on your lips be: “I want to do your Will and live in It!”

22. There cannot be true peace or true triumph if the Divine Will is not known.
23. Our Lord will make the greatest miracles to make His Will reign upon earth.
24. Say to all that there is no greater thing, or a more amazing prodigy than to live in the Divine Will.
25. In this night of Holy Christmas, let us say, from the heart, a big and repeated “Fiat”. My child, dear Jesus wants to make
    you mature more in sanctity, and His Divine Volition wants to hasten Its life in your soul.
26. The Celestial Baby is born; even more – He is born in every instant. In every good act we do, every time we abandon
    ourselves in His arms, and every time we cry out from the depths of our heart: “Lord, I want to do your Will”, the
    dear Little One repeats His birth.
27. I ask dear Baby Jesus that He Himself bring you my sincere wishes. During these days, you will prepare your heart in
    order to form it as a host in which the Divine Infant will come to be reborn in you.
28. Dear Little Jesus will bring you as His wish, His love, His baby tears, His wails, His whole life, and will infuse in you His
    tender and compassionate love for His pains as a baby.
29. I hope that the Celestial Baby, with His childlike smiles, brings you sanctity.
30. Dear Little Baby will come all festive, to reward you for the pains you have suffered, and will remain in you to dwell in
    you forever, bringing you the Divine Will as gift.
31. I send you my wishes for the birth of the little King Jesus. He will give you His Most Holy Will as a gift for His birth.

 THE HOLY DOOR

Holy Doors symbolically represent Jesus, who said, “I am the door.” (John 10:7).

The Holy Door or ‘Porta Sancta’ is only open during a Holy Year (Jubilee), which occur every 25 years (the last one in 2000). On the first day of a holy year, the Pope strikes the brick wall with a silver hammer and opens it to the pilgrims.

The message imparted by the Holy Door is that God’s mercy reaches out to mankind’s frailty.

Traditionally, there are holy doors only in the four basilicas of Rome: St. Peter’s, St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Until 1975, the Holy Doors in Rome were enclosed by a cement wall that the pope broke down using a hammer. When cement fragments fell too close to Pope Paul VI during the opening of the Holy Door on Christmas Eve in 1974, this practice was abandoned, and now bronze doors have replaced the wall.

Walking through the Holy Doors means that you receive an indulgence, which is a lessening of the consequences attached to sin.

According to the Catholic Church, when you sin, you must go to confession and you are forgiven. But forgiveness only applies to the guilt of your sin; there may still be consequences of your sin that you may have to pay for in this life or after you die. An indulgence is a way to lessen that penalty.

As an analogy, if someone commits a crime, he is sentenced to jail time as punishment. He may be sorry for his crime and apologize, but he still must serve his sentence and deal with the consequences of his crime.

 To receive a full indulgence (called a plenary indulgence), you must:

1. Walk through the Holy Doors.
2. Go to confession.
3. Receive communion.
4. Pray for the intentions of the pope. 
5. 

  Door of Mercy

 “[Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me.

 To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy.

He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice…” (Diary, 1146)

 Divine Mercy, which has been part of the patrimony of the Faith from the beginning, as well as request new devotional and liturgical expressions of it? In His revelations to St. Faustina Jesus answers this question, connecting it to another doctrine, also sometimes little emphasized, that of His Second Coming. In the Gospel the Lord shows us that His first coming was in humility, as a Servant, to free the world from sin. Yet, He promises to return in glory to judge the world on love, as He makes clear in his discourses on the Kingdom in Matthew chapters 13 and 25. In between these Comings we have the end times or era of the Church, in which the Church ministers reconciliation to the world until the great and terrible Day of the Lord, the Day of Justice. Every Catholic should be familiar with the teaching of the Church on this matter, contained in paragraphs 668 to 679 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Only in the context of public revelation as taught by the Magisterium can we situate the words of private revelation given to Sr. Faustina.

 You will prepare the world for My final coming. (Diary 429)

 Speak to the world about My mercy … It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the Day of Justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fountain of My mercy. (Diary 848)

 Tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near. (Diary 965).

 I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. (Diary 1160)

 Before the Day of Justice, I am sending the Day of Mercy. (Diary 1588)

 He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice. (Diary 1146).

 In addition to these words of Our Lord Sr. Faustina gives us the Words of the Mother of Mercy, the Blessed Virgin,

You have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for granting mercy. (Diary 635).

The Holy Door…

 From the Writings of Luisa Piccarreta

Book of Heaven 30, A.D, 1925

 The free will in the Blessed in Heaven and in the soul who lives in the Divine Will on earth. Knowledge opens the doors of the good which is known, in order to possess it.

 … “My daughter, do not fear, It is I, and I do not leave you. And besides, how could I leave you? The living in my Will renders the soul inseparable from Me. My Life is for her more than the soul to the body; and just as the body without the soul turns into dust, because it lacks the life that sustains it, in the same way, without my Life within yourself, you would remain empty of all the acts of my Will in you. You would no longer hear my voice in the depth of your soul, repeating and whispering to you the way to have you carry out your office in my Will. If there is my voice, there is also my Life which emits it. How easily you think that I might leave you – I cannot do it; first you would have to leave my Will, and then you could think that I have left you. But for you to leave my Will will also be difficult, not to say almost impossible.

You are in the condition which is almost similar to that of the Blessed in Heaven. They have not lost their free will; this is a gift which I gave man, and what I give once, I never take back. Slavery has never entered Heaven; I am the God of sons and daughters, not of slaves; I am the King who makes everyone reign – there is no division between Me and them. But the knowledge of my goods, of my Will and of my happiness is so great and so vast, that they are filled with it to the brim, to the point of overflowing outside, and their will finds no place to act. And while they are free, the knowledge of an infinite Will and of the infinite goods in which they are immersed, leads them with an irresistible force to use their will as if they did not have it, considering this their greatest fortune and happiness, but spontaneously free, and of their own will.

The same for you, my daughter. Making my Will known to you has been the greatest grace I have given you; and while you are free to do your will or not, before Mine your will feels incapable of operating – it feels annihilated.

And knowing the great good of my Will, you abhor yours, and without anyone forcing you, you love to do my Will in view of the great good which comes to you from It. The many knowledges which I have manifested to you about my Will are divine bonds, eternal chains that surround you, possessions of celestial goods. And if it tries to escape from these eternal chains, break these divine bonds, lose these celestial possessions also in this life, your will, though free, does not find its way out, it becomes confused, it sees its littleness, and fearing itself – some trick of its own, it dives and plunges itself into my Will with more spontaneous love. Knowledge opens the doors of the good which is known, and the more knowledges I have manifested to you about my Will, the more different doors of goods, of light, of grace and of divine sharings, I have opened for you. These doors are open for you; and as these knowledges reach into the midst of creatures, these doors will open for them, because knowledge makes love arise for the good which is known. And the first door I will open will be my Will, in order to close the little door of theirs. My Will will make them abhor their own, because before my Will the human will is incapable of acting; with the light of my Will it sees how insignificant and good at nothing it is; therefore, as though consequently, they will put their will aside. Moreover, you must know that when I manifest to you one knowledge about my Will, only when you have let all the good of what I have manifested to you enter into your soul – then do I decide to open for you another door of my knowledge. If I did not do so, yours would only be the news of that good, but not the possession of it. I do not know how to do this; whenever I speak, I want the good which I manifest to be possessed.

Therefore, be attentive in the exercise of my Will, that I may open for you more doors of my knowledges, and you may enter more into the divine possessions.”

“The Holy Door is Jesus Christ” (Fr. Gobbi, Jan.1, 2001), and to enter the Holy Door – not to pass through It, but to enter into It – is to enter into Jesus, and “know Him as He is”, that is, to know how His Divinity operated within His Humanity, to know His interior acts done in His Divine Will, in order to repeat them within ourselves, to possess them, to be transformed into Him. “…So we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God…” (Eph 4,13)

 Than shall man be able to say, truly and with full meaning: “…For what is life? To me, to live is Christ!”

(Phil 1,21).

December 28th A.D. 2015 – Feast of the Holy Innocents

Calendar for the Traditional Roman Rite

In the second chapter of the Book of Matthew is recorded the story of the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, an event which recalls the Pharaoh’s instructions to midwives during the time Israel was enslaved in Egypt:

Exodus 1:15-16, 22:

And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,

Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive……Pharo therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.

Moses was saved from this murder when his mother placed him in a little ark and floated him in the river. Moses’s sister watched from afar as the Pharaoh’s daughter found the child (Exodus 2). The massacre from which Moses was spared is a type, a foreshadowing, of the massacre of the holy innocents that took place soon after Christ was born.

As to the slaughter of the Innocents in the New Testament, first some background: Herod the Great, the Governor of  Galilee, was an Idumean Jew whom History describes as an extremely cruel man: he was a man who killed several of his wives and his own sons when he suspected they were plotting against him. Challenges to his power were met with a swift and final response, and he even tried to ensure that his cruel campaigns survived him when he arranged that on the day he went on to his eternal reward, hundreds of men in the area would be killed so that there would be mourning at his funeral.

Though this arrangement was never carried out, it speaks well of Herod’s nature.

And during this tyrant’s reign, the Magi — whose adoration of Baby Jesus is rememberd on the Epiphany (6 January) and its Eve (Twelfthnight) — saw the Star of Bethlehem and went to Jerusalem, asking where the new King of Jews may be found. Herod heard of their asking around about the newborn King and, calling the high priests to find out about this this Child, was informed that it was prophecied that the Child would be born in Juda.

Threatened by this prophecy, he sent for the Magi to find the Child and report back so he could go and “worship,” too. The Magi found Jesus but, knowing Herod’s heart after having it revealed to them in a dream, didn’t go back to tell Herod of His wherabouts. Meanwhile, the Holy Family, warned through St. Joseph who was visted by an angel in a dream, makes their flight into Egypt. Herod became enraged at the Wise Men’s “betrayal,” and killed all the baby boys in Bethlehem who were two years old and younger.

The fourth day of Christmas commemorates these baby boys, who are considered martyrs — the very first martyrs (St. Stephen, whose Feast was commemorated 2 days ago, was the first martyr of the Church Age). As Bethlehem was a small town, the number of these Holy Innocents was probably no more than 25, but they are glorious martyrs who died not only for Christ, but in His place. Vestments will be red or purple in mourning, and the Alleluia and Gloria will be supressed at Mass.
