On Transformation and Unity

On Transformation and Unity

The phenomenon of “divine substitution”, “mystical incarnation”, or “exchange of wills”, in the lives of twentieth century mystics like Ven. Conchita, Bl. Dina Belanger and Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, led Father Philipon (Theologian and Editor of Conchita’s Diary) to conclude that “we are incontestably in a new era of spirituality… a calling of all, even the laity, even of married people, to the greatest holiness.”

According to Fr. Philipon, the mystical incarnation “surpassed” the mystical marriage and revealed that “there is an infinity of possible union stages between the creature and God.”  In his revelations to Conchita, Jesus explained that the soul in the mystical incarnation progresses from union of wills to unity.  (“You Have Saved the Best Wine Until Now”, by Hugh Owen)

From Ven. Conchita’s Diary:
Jesus:  “Listen.  There are many progressive degrees in the transformation.  The highest degree on earth corresponds to a transformation of the creature not only in its manner of thinking and of acting, which becomes divine, but which, in a certain sense, causes it to disappear and annihilate itself to give place to Me.  This degree is the work of the Holy Spirit alone who becomes the soul of this soul and the life of this body.”

From “To My Priests”, by Venerable Conchita:

“…they ought to live my interior life itself, all oriented to my Father, and to have the loving and holy passion that moved me to work solely for Him.  This was my life on earth, and this has been and is my life in Heaven: to love, to venerate and to gratify the wishes of my Father, and to have one sole will with His; and this is the perfection of love of man, the supreme end of transformation into Me.  In this loving act of supreme abandonment to the will of my Father, there is perfection, the highest and complete sanctity.  And why?  Because it reaches unity, the finest of the unity, the consummation in God of the greatest that man may have, of what is his, of the human will united to the Divine Will.  Then there is no longer two wills, but one sole will, that of God, which has absorbed in a certain sense, the will of the creature.”

From the Diary of St. Faustina:

Jesus:  “I want to pour out My Divine Life into human souls and sanctify them, if they are willing to accept My grace.”

Speaking of this new era of the Third Fiat of God, Jesus told Luisa:

“I am preparing the era of living in My Will.  What past generations have not done and those in the future will not do, the good souls of this era of My Will will do.  They shall complete the love, the glory, and the honor which all creation owes Me; and I will give them astonishing and unheard of graces.”

From the writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe:

“The will of Mary Immaculate is so closely united with the Will of God that they seem to be only one will…Her will is united to and identified itself in the closest way with the Will of God.  She lives and operates only In God and through God.  So we  should not be afraid to say that our only and deepest wish is to do the Immaculate’s will as accurately as possible.  By doing this, we shall belong to Her every day more. And She shall take possession of our whole being.”  The first seven centuries were only the preparation, the idea, the cause.  Now comes the realization of that truth, the manifestation of the Immaculate Virgin to souls; Her introduction to souls with all the blessed effects which follow from it.  In every country there must arise Cities of Mary Immaculate…you will soon see tears flowing from the eyes of the most hardened sinners; prisons will be emptied; honest workers will unite; families will overflow with virtue, peace and happiness; all discord will be banished, for it is now the new era.”

CCC #865:  “The Kingdom has come in the person of Christ and grows mysteriously in the hearts of those incorporated into Him…”
