The Echo of Love
“Mary was created
only for God, and it is unthinkable that she should reserve even one soul for
herself. On the contrary, she leads
every soul straight to God and to union with Him. Mary is the wonderful echo of God. The more a person joins himself to her, the
more effectively she unites him to God.
When we say ‘Mary’, she re-echoes ‘God’.” (God Alone, Secret of Mary, St. Louis Marie de Montfort, p/268)
“…you never think of
Mary without Mary thinking of God for you.
You never praise or honor Mary without Mary joining you in praising and
honoring God. Mary is entirely relative
to God. Indeed I would say that she was
relative only to God, because she exists uniquely in reference to Him. She is
an echo of God, speaking and repeating only God. If you say “Mary” she says “God.” When St. Elizabeth praised Mary calling her
blessed because she had believed, Mary,
the faithful echo of God, responded with her Canticle, ‘My soul glorifies the
Lord.’” (God Alone, True
Devotion to Mary,
St. Louis Marie de Montfort, p/362)

“My daughter, my love toward creatures is so great that it
resounds like an echo in the celestial regions, it fills the atmosphere and
diffuses over the whole earth. But what
is the correspondence that creatures give to this loving echo? Ah, they
requite Me with an echo of ingratitude, poisonous, filled with every kind of
bitterness and sins; with an echo almost deadly, fit only for wounding Me. But I will depopulate the face of the earth,
so that this echo resounding with poison may not deafen my ears.”
“Tell me, my only Good, how could I sweeten this poisonous
echo for You which afflicts You so much?”
And He: “The only means is that
you always do all your actions with the sole purpose of pleasing Me, and that
you employ all your senses and power for the purpose of loving Me and of
glorifying Me. Let your every
thought, word, and everything else, want nothing but the love you have for Me: in this way your echo will rise pleasant to
my throne and will sweeten my hearing.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
3, January 22, 1900:
“What I recommend to you is correspondence to my grace, and
in order to be faithful, you must be
like the echo that resounds in an empty space: as soon as a voice is emitted,
immediately, without the slightest hesitation, one can hear the echo booming
after it. In the same way, as soon as you begin to receive my grace,
without even waiting for Me to finish giving it, begin immediately the echo of
your correspondence.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
6, December 28, 1903:
“My daughter, all human lives are in my Humanity in Heaven
as though inside a cloister; and since
they are inside my cloister, the regime of their lives comes from Me. Not only this, but my Humanity, being the cloister,
conducts the lives of each soul. What
joy is mine when souls remain in this cloister, and the echo that comes from my Humanity blends with the echo of each human
life of the earth?”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
11, April 1, 1916:
My daughter, for one who really loves Me and does my Will in
everything, her heartbeat and mine become one.
So I call them my heartbeats and, as such, I want them around and even
inside the heartbeat of my Heart – all intent on consoling Me and sweetening
all my sorrowful heartbeats. Her
heartbeat in mine will form a sweet harmony, which will repeat my whole life
for Me, and will speak to Me of souls, forcing Me to save them. But, my daughter, what stripping is required to be the echo of my heartbeat! It must be a life more of Heaven than of
earth – more divine than human! Even
one shadow, one little thing, is enough to prevent the soul from feeling the
strength, the harmonies, the sanctity of my heartbeat; and so she does not echo my heartbeat, she does not harmonize together
with Me, and I am forced to remain alone in my sorrow or in my joys.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, May 10, 1917:
“And when I find a soul who loves Me, how sweet her breath
is, how she amuses Me – I feel cheered. An echo of harmonies is formed between Me
and her; so she remains distinct from the other creatures, and she will be
distinct also in Heaven.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, June 4, 1918:
“If you want to be safe, repair always, and repair together
with Me. Identify yourself with Me so
much, as to form one single echo of
reparations between Me and you.
Wherever there is reparation, the soul is as though in shelter, where
she is protected from cold, from hail and from everything.” “Times are most sad, and if the circle of
reparations is not enlarged, there is the danger that those who remain
uncovered may be struck by the thunderbolts of Divine Justice.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, Jan. 2, 1919:
“Here is, my daughter, the true portrait of loving
souls. Everything must remain silent in
them and around them: esteem, glory, pleasures, honors, greatness, will,
creatures. And if the soul had these
things, she must remain as though deaf, and as if she did not see
anything. On the other hand, my patience, my glory, my esteem, my pains,
must take over within her; and everything she does, thinks and loves will be
nothing other than love, which will have one single echo with Mine, and will
ask Me for souls.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, Feb. 13, 1919:
“they (the souls that will live in the Divine Will) are
exactly the ones, who, without the
shadow of interest and of personal sanctity – but rather, fully divine – will live for the good of their brothers,
forming one single echo with Heaven.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, Dec. 6, 1919:
“My daughter, echo of
my Life, while you were praying, my Mercy was softening, and my Justice was
losing sharpness – and not only in the present time, but also in the future,
because your prayer will remain in act in my Will. By virtue of it, my softened
Mercy will flow more abundantly, and my Justice will be less rigorous.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, May 24, 1920:
“What will the happiness of the soul be when she finds
herself up there in Heaven and sees her acts done in my Will, as defenders of my Throne, and which, having a continuous echo of reparation,
will reject the echo of the offenses that come from the earth?
Book of Heaven, Vol.
12, Nov. 28, 1920:
“Oh! If all could see
this blessing of Mine, they would feel it in the water they drink, in the fire
that warms them, in the food they take, in the sorrow that afflicts them, in
the moans of their prayer, in the remorses of guilt, in the abandonment of
creatures. In everything they would hear
my creative word saying to them – but, alas, it is not heard:
‘I bless you in the name of the Father, of Myself, the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. I bless you to
help you, I bless you to defend you, to forgive you, to console you – I bless
you to make you a saint.’ And the creature would echo my blessings,
by blessing Me too, in everything. These
are the effects of my blessing; and my Church, instructed by Me, echoes Me, and
in almost all circumstances – the administration of the Sacraments and others –
She gives Her blessing.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
13, May 1, 1921:
“In the soul who
lives in my Will, I feel the echo of my power, of my love, of my sanctity; in
all of my acts I feel the echo of her own.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
13, Nov. 12, 1921:
“This is why I love and will love the world: because I am waiting for my sanctity to
have Its echo over the earth, and for my rays to come out to the light and to
give Me complete glory, returning to Me the love and the honor which the others
have not given to Me.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
14, March 28, 1922:
“Therefore, one who
lives in my Will is the echo of my voice, the repeater of my Life, the perfect
glory of my Creation. How could I
not love her? How could I not give to
her all that I should give to all the other creatures together, giving her
primacy over everything? Ah, my love
would feel constrained if I did not do so!”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
14, April 17, 1922:
“The echo of Our Volition
will be the echo of Our own Volition possessed by you; the exchanges will be
mutual, love will be reciprocal; we will be in full harmony, and the creature
will disappear within her Creator. Then,
nothing else will be lacking to Our joy, to Our happiness, for which We
delivered Creation. The ‘Let Us make man
in Our Image and likeness’ will have its effect. Our Will alone, as actor within the creature,
will give completion to everything, and the Creation will bring Us the divine
purpose, and We will receive It in Our womb as Our work, just as We delivered
It. And then, if you cannot be without Me, it is the echo of my love that resounds in
your heart, and unable to be without you, it reverberates in you; and you,
shaken, look for the One who loves you so much.
And I, seeing that you are searching for Me, feel the echo of your love
within mine, and I feel drawn to send you a new current of love, so that you
may look for Me more.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
14, June 9, 1922:
“In you I hear the
echo of my creative word: ‘Let Us make man in Our image and likeness,’ and I
see the fulfillment of it. Ah! Our Will alone will make man return to this
first origin.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
14, July 28, 1922:
“Expand your will in Mine – nothing must escape you which is
not caught in the net of my Will and of yours.
My Will in Me and my Will in you must fuse together and have the same
endless boundaries; but I need that your
will be disposed to extend within Mine, and that nothing escape it of the
things created by Me, so that in all
things I may hear the echo of the Divine Will in the human will, and generate
my likeness in it.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
14, Oct. 19, 1922:
“I am not the
isolated God – no. I want the creature
together with Me; my echo must resound in hers, and hers in mine, so as to make
them one.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
15, May 2, 1923:
“My daughter, oh, how well your acts done in my Will
harmonize! They harmonize with Mine,
with those of my beloved Mama, and the ones disappear into the others, forming
one single act. It seems that Heaven is
on earth and that the earth is in Heaven.
And the echo of one act in three
and of three in one, of the Most Holy Trinity – oh, how sweetly it sounds to
Our ears, how it enraptures Us; so much as to capture Our Will from Heaven to
earth!”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
16, Dec. 6, 1923:
(Luisa) “I will not depart from our throne if You do not
bind the human will with the Divine, so that, as I take It to earth, the
Kingdom of your Will may come upon earth.
Nothing is denied to the little ones, because what they ask is nothing other than the echo of your own Will and of what
You Yourself want.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
16, May 24, 1924:
“So, everything I have told you about my Will had this as my
purpose: that my Will
Be known and come to reign upon earth – and what I have said
will be. I will overwhelm everything in
order to obtain this, but everything must return to Me within that word –
‘Fiat’. ‘Fiat’ did God say, and ‘Fiat’ must man say. In all his things, he will have nothing but the echo of my Fiat, the mark of my Fiat, the
works of my Fiat, so that I may give the goods which my Will contains. In this way, I will fulfill the complete
purpose of all Creation.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, Oct. 2, 1924:
“Daughter of Our Eternal Will, prostrate yourself before Our
Supreme Majesty and offer your adorations, your homages, your praises, in the
name of all, with the Power of Our Will, with the Wisdom and with the Will of
Our Supreme Love. In this way We will
feel in you the Power of Our Will adoring Us, the Wisdom of Our Will glorifying
Us, the Love of Our Will loving Us and praising Us. And since the Power, the Wisdom and the Love
of the three Divine Persons are in communication with the intellect, the memory
and the will of all creatures, We will feel your adorations, homages and
praises flow within all the intelligences of creatures, which, rising between
Heaven and earth, will make us hear the
echo of Our own Power Wisdom and Love, adoring Us, praising Us and loving
Us. Greater adorations, more noble
homages, love and praises more divine, she cannot give Us.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, Oct. 30, 1924:
“Not only did the
creature not want to maintain this alternation of love or to respond to the
echo of the love of her Creator, but she rejected this Love, she denied It and
offended It.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, Feb. 22, 1925:
“My daughter, how my
Heart is wounded by the prayer of one who seeks only my Will! I hear the echo of my prayer, which I did
when I was upon earth.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, April 23, 1925:
“Therefore, you must know that in creating man, God infused
Life in him with His breath; and in this Life He infused in him an
intelligence, a memory and a will, to place them in relation with His Divine
Will. This Divine Will was to be like a
king; It was to dominate all of the interior of the creature and to give Life
to all in such a way as to form the intelligence and the memory wanted by the
Supreme Will in her. Once this was
formed, it was as though natural for the eye of the creature to look at created
things and to know their order and the Will of God over the whole universe. The hearing was to hear the prodigies of this
Eternal Will. The mouth, which was to feel the continuous breath of its Creator,
communicating to it the Life and the goods contained in His Will, was to echo that Eternal Fiat with its
word, to narrate what ‘Will of God’ means.
The hands were to be the expression of the works of this Supreme
Will. The feet were to do nothing but
follow, step by step, the steps of their Creator. So, once
the Divine Will is established in the will of the creature, she has the eyes,
the hearing, the mouth, the hands, the feet of my Will. She never departs from the origin from which
she came…”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, April 26, 1925:
“…no, it is not true that I have left you. How is it, don’t you feel Me within yourself?
Don’t you hear the echo of my prayer in your interior as I embrace everything
and everyone in such a way that no one can escape Me, since all things and all
generations are like one single point for Me, and so I pray, I love, I adore my
Father, I repair for all? And you,
echoing my prayer, feel as if you were holding everyone and everything in your
power and you repeat what I do.” Is
it perhaps you or your capacity to do this?
Ah, no, no! It is I, who am
within you.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
17, Aug. 2, 1925:
“I was praying and fusing myself in the Holy Divine
Will. I wanted to wander everywhere, up
to the Heavens, in order to find that Supreme ‘I love you’ which is not subject
to any interruption. I wanted to make it
my own so that I too might have an ‘I love you’ which is never interrupted and which might echo the Eternal ‘I love you’
and by possessing the source of the true ‘I love you’ within me, I might have
an ‘I love you’ for each one and for all – for each motion, for each act, for
each breath, for each heartbeat, and for each ‘I love you’ of my Jesus
Himself.”

17, Oct. 21, 1925:
“All of Heaven is in
my Will; and being in this Supreme Volition, they feel everything I do and the
echo of my acts, and corresponding to my echo, they repeat whatever I do.”

18, Feb. 6, 1926:
“…my aim upon you is exactly this: to make you return to the origin as when We created man. Therefore I do not want division between Me
and you, nor that what is Mine may not be yours; rather, in order to give you
your rights, I want you to recognize what is Mine, so that loving everything and
letting your ‘I love You’ flow upon all things, all of Creation may recognize
you. They will feel in you the echo of the beginning of the creation of man,
and delighting in it will yearn to be possessed by you.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, March 14, 1926:
“Now, one who has won the Divine Will has won the whole
Creation and even God
Himself; therefore, by right of justice, she must possess
all that my Will possesses. More so,
since the Creation is mute for Its Creator; and I made It mute because the one
to whom I was to give It and who was to live in my Will, would, herself, have
speech in all created things so that all things made by Me might be speaking,
not mute. So, you will be the voice of the heavens; and echoing from one point to another,
it will make your word heard, which resounding through the whole celestial
atmosphere, will say: ‘I love, I glorify, I adore my Creator…”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, April 9, 1926:
“But do you want to
know in whom all created things find the echo of their joy and happiness? In one in whom they find my Will reigning and
dominating, because that Will which reigns in them as whole, that which God
Himself possesses, and that which reigns in the soul, become one and make seas
of joys, of happiness, and of contentments overflow into one another. Indeed, it is a true feast.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, April 16, 1926:

echo, that echo of Our Celestial Mama, because She alone lived perfectly and
fully in the Supreme Volition, therefore, She can be your guide and act as your

“My daughter, come with Me in the midst of Creation. Heaven and earth await you – they want the one who, animated by that same Will that animates them and gives
them life, would make the whole Creation resound with that most sweet echo of
the eternal love of their Maker.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, July 20, 1926:
“…do you know what is the enchantment that enraptures
Me? Your little ‘I love You’ on each
created thing. With this little ‘I love
You’ of yours impressed on each of them, they all speak to Me of your love,
they speak to Me of my newborn of my Will; I
hear the harmonious echo of the whole Creation that speaks to Me about you.”
Book of Heaven, Vol. 19,
July 29, 1926:
“Now, had I come upon earth to redeem him, one drop of my
Blood, one little pain of mine would have been enough to put him in safety; but since I came not only to save him, but
to give him back my Will, which he had lost, this Divine Will wanted to descend
into all my pains, into my tears, into my sighs and moans – into everything I
did and suffered, in order to reacquire the dominion in all and over all
human acts, and therefore be able to form, once again, Its Kingdom in the midst
of creatures. So, as a little child,
when I cried, wailed, moaned, my Divine Will more than solar ray, invested all
Creation with my tears, with my moans and sighs. The stars, the sun, the starry sky, the sea,
the little flower – all cried, moaned, wailed and sighed because the Divine
Will present in Me was the same as that which reigned in all Creation and,
therefore, as though naturally, the stars cried, the sky moaned, the sun
wailed, the sea sighed. The light of my Will brought my echo into
all created things, and repeating my acts, they kept company with their
Creator.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, August 29, 1926:
Luisa: “My Love, I
have many things to tell You – many things to establish between You and me; I
must ask of You that your Will be known and that Its Kingdom have Its full
triumph…Jesus interrupting my speaking, with unspeakable tenderness pressed me
so very tightly to Himself, and kissing me told me: “My daughter, how beautiful on your lips is the prayer
for the triumph of the Kingdom of the Supreme Will. It is the echo of my own
prayer, of my sighs and of all my works.” *
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, Sept. 7, 1926:
Luisa: I was about to
resume my flight in the Supreme Volition, to make my usual visit in the Kingdom
of the Divine Will and to extend myself within Its boundaries in order to let my ‘I love You,’ my
adoration, my ‘thank You’ echo for each created thing.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
19, Sept. 15, 1926:
Luisa: Then, while I
was in the arms of Jesus, the immense light of the Divine Will that filled
Heaven and earth called me to go around in It, to have me do my usual acts, to have my “I love You” my adoration echo
in the whole Creation that It might have the company of Its little daughter
in each created thing in which It reigns and dominates. Then, after I did this, my sweet Jesus told
me: “My daughter, what light, what
power, what glory the act of the creature acquires done in My Will! These acts are more than sun.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
20, Sept. 20, 1926:
Luisa: Having
finished writing a book and having to start another one, I felt the weight of
writing and almost embittered, I sighed.
And my sweet Jesus…told me: “My
daughter, you have not understood well what it means to live in my Will. While you were sighing, the Creation and
everyone, and even Myself, have sighed together with you, because for those who live in It, one is the life,
one the act, one the motion, one the echo.
They cannot help doing the same thing together because God is the prime
motion, and since all created things have come out of a motion full of life,
there is nothing which does not possess His motion – they all go around the
prime motion of their Creator…My daughter, your sigh of regret has formed its
echo in everyone.”

20, Nov. 1, 1926:
“…continuing your round in the space of Creation, you will
arrive at the sun, a sphere which is closer to the earth than the heavens, in
order to bring to the creatures the fount of terrestrial happiness, the similes
of the beatitudes, and the flavors of the happiness of the Celestial
Fatherland. Do you want to know then
what my Will does in the sun? It
glorifies Our interminable light, Our innumerable flavors. It loves and glorifies Our infinite
sweetnesses, the indescribable shades of Our beauties; and with its heat, It echoes Our immense Love. Oh!
How the sun sings Our praises; how it loves and glorifies Our Divine
Being. Just as Our Divinity, unveiled,
beatifies the whole Celestial Fatherland with every new acts, in the same way, the sun, faithful echo of its Creator,
celestial bearer of the Supreme Majesty, veiled by its light in which my Will
dominates and reigns, brings terrestrial happiness to the earth.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
20, Dec. 8, 1926:
“My daughter, you are
Our echo. As you enter into Our Will in order to love, to praise, to ask for
the coming of Our Kingdom, We hear in
you the echo of Our Love, the echo of Our Glory, the echo of Our Fiat that
wants to come upon earth in order to reign, that wants to be prayed, and
prayed again, and be pressed to come to reign on earth as It does in
Heaven. And as you go around through the
whole Creation to follow the acts of the Supreme Will in It, We hear your echo in the sea, in the
valleys, on the mountains, in the sun, in the heaven, in the stars – in everything. How beautiful is this echo – it is Our echo which resounds in all
of Our things. In this echo, We hear the
echo of Our voice, the motion of Our works, the treading of Our steps, the
motions – the pulsation of Our heartbeat, and We greatly delight in seeing your
littleness, as you, while echoing try to imitate Our voice, to copy the motions
of our works, to make the same sound as Our steps, and to love with Our own
heartbeat.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
21, March 16, 1927:
“…in order to give back to him (man) this Kingdom – these
universal goods; first He wants, by right, a creature who by living in this
Fiat would communicate this universal act to Him. So, as she loves, adores, glorifies and
prays, together with His Will, she constitutes herself as universal love for
all – adoration and glory for each creature; and diffusing her prayer as if
everyone were praying, she prays in a universal manner that the Kingdom of the
Divine Fiat may come into the midst of creatures. When a good is universal, universal
acts are needed in order to obtain it; and these acts are only in my Will. As you love in It, your love extends
wherever my Will is; and my Will feels your love in every place – It feels
Itself followed everywhere. Therefore,
It feels in you the original love, with which It had established to be loved by
the creature in the beginning of Creation; It
feels Its own echo in your love, which does not know how to love with a little
and finite love, but with infinite and universal love. It feels the first love of Adam before he
sinned, when he did nothing but repeat the echo of the Will of His Creator…”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
22, June 8, 1927:
“…you must know that
my Will forms the echo of Its works, of Its love, of Its word in the soul in
whom It reigns, in such a way that on hearing Its echo, the soul repeats the
work, the love and the word of the Divine Fiat.”

22, July 30, 1927:
“Now, Our Will, life
and perfect echo of Our Divine Being, is incessant motion, and therefore,
It is perfect good and a good which can give itself to all. When a good is incessant, all can take it,
its continuous motion makes it possess the spring of inexhaustibility. Therefore,
one who must live in my Divine Will must possess the echo of my Will and, with incessant
motion, follow Its acts and the good that comes to you, which places you in
the order of the divine motion, moves you with enchanting rapidity, and goes
around together with all created things.”

23, Sept. 25, 1927:
“Therefore, I call you to work together with Me in this, my
Kingdom. I work by preparing the earth;
it is necessary to purify it, it is too sullied, there are certain points which
do not deserve to exist any more so many are their evils, therefore it is
necessary that both its inhabitants and the sullied earth itself
disappear. The Kingdom of my Divine Will
is the holiest, the purest, the most beautiful and orderly Kingdom that must
come upon earth, therefore, it is necessary that the earth be prepared and
purified; and so, while I work on purifying it and, if needed, on destroying
places and people unworthy of a Kingdom so holy, you will work by moving Heaven
and earth with your acts done in my Volition.
Your echo will be incessant,
which you will make resound in all Creation asking for the Kingdom of my Fiat
with your continuous acts, if needed, your pains, and even your life.”

23, Sept. 28, 1927:
“How beautiful these divine lives in the creatures would
have been. In looking at them, We were to find in them Our reflection,
Our image, the echo of Our happiness.
What joy, what feast Creation would have been for Us and for the
creatures!”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
24, April 16, 1928:
“My daughter, as the
Divine Will pronounced Its Fiat in Creation, it formed the echo. As it resounded in the empty space of the
whole universe, this divine echo drew and carried all of Our qualities with it
and it filled Heaven and earth with Our Love.
As it came out from Our Fiat, this echo created the most beautiful
things – heavens, suns, winds, seas, and many other things. This echo remained in each created thing and
it maintains the life of the blue heavens with all the stars; the life of the
sun, and continuing with its echo of light and heat, it preserves it full of
light, whole and beautiful just as it created it. So, each created thing has the echo of Our
Fiat as its beginning and preservation; this is why they preserve the order,
the power, the harmony, the magnificence of Our works. Whenever the Divinity wants to operate and
reproduce, even Our very Life, Our Fiat forms the echo and the echo creates and
forms whatever We want. See also in
instituting the Sacrament of the Eucharist, Our Fiat formed the echo; the echo
invested the bread and wine and formed in them my Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity. That echo still resounds in
each Host and so my Sacramental Life is perpetuated continuously. Now, this echo resounded in the creation of
man, but by withdrawing from Our Will, man lost this echo – he no longer felt,
inside and outside of himself its sweet, powerful, harmonizing sound which had
the virtue of preserving him just as he came out of Our creative hands; so he
became weak and disharmonized. Poor man,
without the echo of Our Fiat which had
given him life – he was no longer able to reorder himself – he no longer felt
within himself the echo of the Light of his Creator, the echo of Love, the echo
of order, of power, of wisdom, of divine sweetness and goodness. Without the echo of Our Fiat, man became like
a child who grows without mama, who has no one to feed him the words, to teach
him works and steps; or like a student who has no teacher to teach him how to
read and write; and if he does anything at all by himself, he will do it
disordered. Such is man without the echo
of Our Fiat…” “Now, as the soul keeps
calling my Will as the beginning of all of her being, she will feel Its divine
echo. This echo will call her back to
her beginning and resounding in her, it will reorder her anew; and just as Our
echo retreated from man because he withdrew from Our Divine Will, in the same
way, as creatures recognize It, love It and want nothing but Our Divine Fiat,
the echo of Our Will will return to the midst of creatures. The Kingdom of
Our Fiat is exactly this: the return of Our divine echo not the far away echo which has often
resounded to the hearing of man from the time he withdrew from Our Will; but
the continuous echo which will resound in the depth of souls and transforming
them, it will form Divine Life in them giving back to them the order of man as
he was created.”

“My daughter, indeed nothing escaped my Mama because everything I did and suffered resounded
like a deep echo in the depth of Her soul.
And She was so attentive in waiting for the echo of my acts that the
echo, together with everything I did and suffered, would remain imprinted in
Her. And the Sovereign Queen emitted Her
echo within Mine and made it resound in the depth of my interior, in such a
way that torrents would run between Me and Her – seas of light and of love
which unloaded themselves into each other; and I made the deposit of all my
acts in Her maternal Heart.
I would not have been
content had I not had Her always with Me – had I not felt Her continuous echo which, resounding in
Mine, drew even my heartbeats and breaths to be deposited in Her. Likewise, I
would not be content if, from that time, I did not have you, who were to follow
all of my acts in my Divine Will. In
fact, from that time I made their deposit in you, moving the echo of my Mama into the depth of your soul. And through the length of the centuries I
looked at the echo of my Mama in you in order to realize the Kingdom of my
Divine Will. This is why you feel as
though drawn to follow all of my acts – it is Her maternal echo that resounds in
you…”

“…you must know that when all things, small and big, were
created, I never tired of beading them with my repeated and incessant ‘I love
you’s’ for you; and just as I did not tire of placing them, so I do not tire of hearing them being
repeated by you. On the contrary, I enjoy that my ‘I love you’ does not
remain isolated, but has the company of yours; and as yours echoes in Mine,
they fuse together and live a common life.”

25, Oct. 7, 1928:
“My daughter, this group of people whom you see all in
motion for the opening of the House of My Divine Will is symbolic of that group
of people when I wanted to be born in Bethlehem
and the shepherds were coming and going to visit Me, a little Baby. This pointed out to all the certainty of My
birth. In the same way, this group of
people, all in motion, points out the rebirth of the Kingdom of My Divine Will. Look
at how all of Heaven echoes My birth, when the Angels, celebrating it,
announced Me to the shepherds and putting them in motion made them keep coming
to Me, and I recognized in them the first fruits of the Kingdom of My Redemption. So now, in this group of people, of little
girls and nuns, I recognize the beginning of the Kingdom of My Divine Will.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
25, Oct. 10, 1928:
“How beautiful is the company of one who does My Divine
Will. My Will brings into the depth of the soul the echo of everything I do
in this Holy Host, and I do not feel alone in My Acts – I feel that she is
praying together with Me; and as our supplications, our sighs, unite together,
we ask for one same thing – that the Divine Will be known and that Its Kingdom
come soon.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
25, Oct. 17, 1928:
“You too pray, and as
you echo My prayer, I hear your continuous speaking by putting all My Acts. And
all created things in motion; and you ask Me, in the name of everyone and
everything, that My Will be known and form in them Its Kingdom.
Your echo and Mine
are one, and we ask for one same thing – that everything may return into the
Eternal Fiat and Its just rights be given back to It.
Book of Heaven, Vol.
25, Oct. 28, 1928:
“Oh! If the leaders
of the Church knew what I have manifested to you about My Divine Will, what I
want to do, Its great prodigies, My yearnings, My sorrowful heartbeats, My
anguishing sighs, for I want My Will to reign, to make everyone happy, to
restore the human family – they would
feel that in this Feast of Christ the King is nothing other than the secret
echo of My Heart that, echoing in them, without their knowing it, has them
institute for Me the Feast of Christ the King in order to call their attention
and reflection: Christ the King…And His true people – where are they? And they would say: ‘Let us hasten to make His Divine Will known;
let us let It reign, that we may give a people to Christ the King whom we have
called so. Otherwise, we have honored
Him with words, but not with facts.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
26, April 21, 1929:
“Daughter, I entrust It to you that you may never go out of
It and may make your continuous echo
resound from one point to another in such a way that all of Heaven may hear
that Our endless inheritance of Our Fiat on earth is not isolated, but is
inhabited by Our little daughter.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
27, Jan. 26, 1930:
“So, each word I have spoken to you on My Divine Volition
has been a Fiat pronounced by Us, that has come out like a child from the womb
of Our Will. This Fiat is the same Fiat as that of Creation, that, forming Its echo,
makes Its vital strength felt there where Our Will resides.” “My daughter, when My Divine will wants to
pronounce Itself, It extends everywhere and makes Its echo and Its creative
strength felt in all the things in which It reigns.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
28, April 23, 1930:
“…Our Supreme Being found itself, and still is, in the condition of necessity to love him, because man is still the one created by Us – his breath We feel within Our own, his word is the echo of Our Fiat. All of Our gifts We have not withdrawn – We are the Immutable Being, nor are We subject to changing. We loved him and love him, and this Love of Ours is so great that We Ourselves placed Ourselves in the condition of necessity to love him. And this is the reason for Our many stratagems of Love, and the final assault, as We want to give him the great Gift of Our Fiat, that he may let It reign in his soul.”

30, Nov. 16, 1931:
“…true Love constitutes a Right in the creature – Right of
Relationship, Right of Participation in the Goods, Right to be Loved. Each of his acts of Love is a vibrating note that palpitates in the Divine Heart; and
with its sound it says: ‘I Love You – Love me.’
And the sound does not cease if he does not hear the note of his Creator
that, echoing the sound of the soul, answers
to him: ‘I Love you, O son.’”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
30, Jan. 12, 1932:
…when My Divine Will operates in the soul, one knows it immediately: as It operates, It lays in the human being gentleness, sweetness, peace, fortitude, firmness; before It operates, It blows into it and impresses in it Its omnipotent fiat that extends Its Heaven around the work It wants to do. It seems that without Its Heaven, My Will is unable to operate; and while It operates, It makes Its sweet harmonious echo resound in the three Divine Persons keeping Them aware of what It is doing in the soul. In fact, since the Will that is operating in her is one with that of the Divine Persons, it happens that whatever It does in the Divine Persons It makes Its powerful echo resound in the creature; and in this echo It brings to her the admirable secrets, the ineffable sweetness’s, the inseparable Love as the Divine Persons love one another and the sweet accord among them.”

“Therefore, if you
want to obtain everything, if you want to truly love Me, live abandoned in My
arms, let Me hear the echo of My Life in every instant: ‘Into Your hands I
abandon myself completely’, and I will carry you in My arms as the dearest of
My children.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
33, Nov. 26, 1933:
“In fact, one
sees the littleness of the creature acting as queen in Our Divine Being,
re-uniting Our immensity and power together and making Us ask ourselves what
she wants and We want. She understands
well that there is no other good than Our Will alone, and in order to obtain
the intent she makes it asked by the Infinity of Our Divine Qualities, and one
sees the little tiny one littler and powerful enriched with the prerogatives of
Our Divine Qualities as if they were hers which gives her such charm of beauty
as to enrapture Us, debilitate Us in order to make Us do what she wants and We
want. She becomes Our echo, and she does not know how to say anything
else to Us nor ask for anything other than that Our Will would invade
everything and would form one single Will with all creatures.”
Book of Heaven, Vol.
33, Dec. 18, 1933:
“And in Our
emphasis of Love We told him: ‘how very
beautiful you are; you are Our work, you will be Our glory, the outlet of Our
love, the reflection of Our wisdom, the echo of Our power, the bearer of Our
eternal love.’”
“Yes, a Psalm is a
blessing on the lips of the people, a hymn in praise of God, the assembly’s
homage, a general acclamation, a word that speaks for all, the voice of the
Church, a confession of faith in song.
It is the voice of complete assent, the joy of freedom, a cry of
happiness, the echo of gladness…” “Day begins to the music of a Psalm. Day closes to the echo of a Psalm.” “The psalmist of old used it, with the aid of
the Holy Spirit, to make earth reecho the music of Heaven.” ( St. Ambrose)
“Let us look now with the eyes of faith, to Christ’s Kingdom, and
repeat,
“May Your reign come.” Pope John
Paul II
