Questions and Answers - Divine Will

Q1:  What is the Divine Will?

A:   The Divine Will is the beatitude of all and It is what binds the soul to God.  It is the inheritance of man that will bring about the reign of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.  The Divine Will is the Light that gives us the knowledge of God and the knowledge of who we are.  The Divine Will is the rest of the soul and the Paradise of the soul on earth; It is perennial Communion with God; It is the highest point which can exist in Heaven and on earth:

Volume 3 - February 26, 1900  

“…I want you to take My Will and to delight in It, loving Me and glorifying Me in My Will, and holding My Will as if It were My very Person.  By doing so, you will keep Me in your very hands.  What forms the beatitude of Paradise?  Certainly My Divinity.  Now, what would form the beatitude of my dear ones on earth?  With certainty, My Will.” 

Volume 4 - November 11, 1900 

“Ah, My daughter, do not go out of My Will, because by going out of My Will, you come to lose the knowledge of Me, and not knowing Me, you come to lose the knowledge of yourself.  In fact, only in the reflections of the light can one distinguish with clarity whether there is gold or mud; if everything is darkness objects can easily be confused.  Now, the light is My Will, which gives you the knowledge of Me, and in the reflections of this light you come to know who you are; and in seeing your weakness, your pure nothingness, you cling to My arms and, united with My Will, you live with Me in Heaven.”

Volume 5  October 16, 1903

“Furthermore, My Will is light, and by always doing My Will, you nourish yourself with light, and your mortifications, privations and sufferings convert into nourishment of light for the soul.  In fact, the only food which is nourishing and gives true life, is My Will.  And don’t you know that this continuous nourishing herself with light, even if the soul should contract some defects, purges her continuously?” 

Volume 7 - July 3, 1906

“My beloved, the soul who lives in My Will rests, because the Divine Will does everything for her, and while It operates for her, I find the most beautiful rest in her.  So, the Will of God is rest for the soul, and rest for God in the soul.  While resting in My Will, the soul remains always attached to My mouth, and suckles Divine Life into herself, making of it her continuous food.  The Will of God is the paradise of the soul on earth, and the soul who does the Will of God comes to form the paradise of God on earth.  The Will of God is the only key that opens the treasures of the Divine Secrets, and the soul acquires such familiarity in the house of God as to dominate as if she were the owner.” 

Volume 8 - April 8, 1908

I was concerned because I was not able to receive Communion every day, and good Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, I do not want you to be bothered by anything.  It is true that having Communion is a great thing, but how long does the tight union with the soul last?  A quarter of an hour at the most.  But the thing you should cherish the most is the complete undoing of your will in Mine, because for one who lives of My Will, there is tight union not only for a quarter of an hour, but always - always.  My Will is continuous communion with the soul; so, not once a day, but every hour and every moment is always communion for one who does My Will.”

Volume 11 - November 27, 1913

“My Will is the highest point which can exist, both in Heaven and on earth, and when the soul has reached It, she has subdued everything and has done everything.  There is nothing left for her to do but to dwell over these heights, enjoy them, and understand this Will of Mine more and more, which is not yet understood well either in Heaven or on earth.” 

Volume 17 – May 21, 1925

“In fact, one who must live in My Will must not consider himself a terrestrial citizen, but must regard himself as a citizen of Heaven.  And it is with just reason that all the Blessed feel shaken, because one who lives with their same Will is thinking of letting the human will enter the field – cause of disorder, which has never entered the celestial regions.  You must be convinced that by living of My Will, the life of your will is ended - it no longer has reason to exist. 

“This is the living in My Will:  never to leave the Creator alone, to admire all of His works, and to give to Him, in return for His great acts, the little acts of a creature.” 

Q2:   How is the living in the Divine Will different from what the Saints did?

A:   Living in the Divine Will is the consummation of the human in the Divine.  To live in the Divine Will the soul must conform to It; the greatest sanctity is to live in the Divine Will; the souls who live in the Divine Will become living hosts; the Saints lived resigned to the Divine Will rather than living in the Divine Will; living in the Divine Will is the sanctity of all sanctities:

Volume 6 – June 17, 1904

This morning, after I struggled very much, blessed Jesus came and told me:  “My daughter, see how many things are said about virtue, about perfection, but they all end up in one single point – that is, the consummation of the human will in the Divine.  So, the more one is consumed in It, the more it can be said that he contains everything and is more perfect than everyone.  In fact, all virtues and good works are many keys that open the Divine Treasures and make one acquire more friendship, more intimacy, more commerce with God; but consummation alone is what renders the soul one with Him and places the Divine Power in her hands.  And this, because life must have a will in order to live, and by living of the Divine Will, one naturally takes ownership.”

Volume 6 – November 2, 1905

“Your will must be Mine; nothing must you want, be it even a holy thing, which is not conformed to My Will.  In the circle of My Will do I want you to go around always, without going out of it for one instant, so that I may render you the master of My very Self.  Do I want the war? You too.  And with the soul who comports herself in this way, I make of My Being a circle around her, in such a way as to make her live of Me and in Me.” 

Volume 6 – January 16, 1906

A little later He came back and added:  “My daughter, one who lives in the sphere of My Will resides in the abode of all riches, and one who lives outside of this sphere of My Will resides in the abode of all miseries.” 

Volume 7 – November 6, 1906

“This is My goal, and this is why I often speak to you about perfect resignation, because by living in My Will, the soul acquires the most heroic love, and reaches the point of loving Me with My own Love.  She becomes all love, and becoming all love, she is in continuous contact with Me.  So, she is with Me, in Me, and for Me she does everything I want; nor does she move or desire anything but My Will, in which all the love of the Eternal One is enclosed, and in which she herself remains enclosed.  By living in this way, the soul almost comes to the point of dissolving faith and hope, because as she comes to live of Divine Will, the soul no longer feels in contact with faith and hope.  Since she lives of the Will of God, what does she have to believe if she has found It and made of It her food?  And what does she have to hope for, if she already possesses It by living, not outside of God, but in God?  Therefore, true and perfect resignation is the mark of sure predestination, and the sure possession that the soul has of God.  Have you understood?  Think it over carefully.” 

Volume 7 – January 20, 1907

Having read the lives of two female Saints – one who aspired so much to suffering, and the other who aspired so much to be little – I was thinking in my interior about which one of the two it would be better to imitate, and unable to make up my mind, I felt as though hampered.  So, in order to be free and to think only about loving Him, I said to myself:  ‘I want to aspire to nothing but to love Him and to fulfill His Holy Will perfectly.’

At that moment, the Lord told me in my interior:  “And it is here that I want you – in My Will.  Until the grain of wheat is buried in the earth and dies completely, it cannot rise again to new life and multiply itself, giving life to other grains.  In the same way, until the soul is buried in My Will, to the point of dying completely by dissolving all of her will within Mine, she cannot rise again to new Divine Life through the rising of all the virtues of Christ, which contain true Sanctity.  Therefore, let My Will be the seal which seals your interior and exterior; and once My Will has risen completely within you, you will find true love – and this is the greatest of all the other sanctities to which one can aspire.” 

Volume 11 – March 15, 1912

Continuing in my usual state, I felt a great desire to do the Most Holy Will of blessed Jesus; and He, on coming, told me:  “My daughter, My Will is the Sanctity of sanctities.  The soul who does My Will, however small, ignorant, unknown, leaves the other Saints behind in spite of their prodigies, sensational conversions and miracles.  Rather, in comparison, the souls who do My Will are queens, and it is as if all the others were at their service.” 

Volume 12 - August 14, 1917

Now, in order to obey, I want to say a few words on the difference between living resigned to the Divine Will, and living in the Divine Will.

First:  living resigned.  According to my poor opinion, this means to resign oneself to the Divine Will in everything, both in prosperous and in adverse circumstances, looking at the Divine Will in all things - the order of the Divine Dispositions which It has over all creatures, such that not even one hair can fall from our head if the Lord does not want it so.  It seems to me like a good son, who goes wherever his father wants, and suffers whatever his father wants.  Poor or rich, it is indifferent to him; he is content only with being what the father wants.  If he receives or asks for an order to go somewhere for the fulfillment of some business, he goes only because the father wanted it.  But in the meantime, he must take some refreshment, stop to rest, have some food, deal with people; therefore he has to put much of his own will, even though he goes because the father wanted it.  However, in many things he finds himself in the circumstance of doing them by himself; so, he may be far away from the father for days, for months, without receiving specification of the will of the father in all things.  So, for one who lives resigned to the Divine Will, it is almost impossible not to mix his own will with It; he may be a good son, but will not have, in everything, the thoughts, the words, the life of the Father fully portrayed in him.  In fact, since he has to go, return, follow, deal with others, love is already broken - because only continued union makes love grow, and it never breaks - and the current of the Will of the Father is not in continuous communication with the current of the will of the son; and in those intervals, the son may get used to doing his own will.  However, I believe that this is the first step toward sanctity.

Second:  living in the Divine Will.  I would like the hand of my Jesus to write this.  Ah! He alone could tell all the beauty, the goodness and the sanctity of living in the Divine Will.  I am incapable, I have many concepts about It in my mind, but I lack the words.  My Jesus, pour Yourself into my word, and I will say what I can.

Living in the Divine Will means being inseparable, doing nothing by oneself, because before the Divine Will one feels incapable of anything.  He does not ask for orders, nor does he receive them, because he feels incapable of going on his own; and he says:  “If You want me to do this, let us do it together; and if You want me to go, let us go together.”  So, he does all that his Father does.  If the Father thinks, he makes the thoughts of the Father his own, and has not one thought more than those of the Father.  If the Father looks, if He speaks, if He works, if He walks, if He suffers, if He loves, he too looks at what the Father looks at, repeats the words of the Father, works with the hands of the Father, walks with the feet of the Father, suffers the same pains of the Father, and loves with the love of the Father.  He lives, not outside, but inside the Father, therefore he is the reflection and the perfect portrait of the Father - which is not for one who lives only resigned.  It is impossible to find this son without the Father, or the Father without him; and not only externally, but all his interior is as though interwoven with the interior of the Father - transformed, dissolved completely, completely, in God.

Oh! the rapid and sublime flights of this child in the Divine Will.  This Divine Volition is immense; in every instant It circulates in everyone, It gives life to everything and orders everything; and the soul, moving within this immensity, flies to all, helps all, loves all, but as Jesus Himself helps and loves - which one who lives only resigned cannot do.  Therefore, one who lives in the Divine Will finds it impossible to act on his own; even more, he feels nausea for his human operating, be it even holy, because in the Divine Will all things, even the smallest ones, take on a different look.  They acquire nobility, splendor, divine sanctity, divine power and beauty; they multiply to infinity, and in one instant one does everything.  And after he has done everything, he says:  ‘I have done nothing - Jesus did.  And this is all my contentment:  that, meager as I am, Jesus has given me the honor to keep me in the Divine Will, to let me do what He Himself has done.’  So, the enemy cannot bother this child - whether he has done well or badly, little or much - because Jesus Himself did everything, and he together with Jesus.  He is the most peaceful; he is not subject to anxiety; he loves no one and loves everyone - but divinely.  It can be said that he is the repeater of the Life of Jesus, the organ of His voice, the heartbeat of His Heart, the sea of His graces. 

True sanctity, I believe, consists only in this.  All other things are shadows, larvae, specters of sanctity.  In the Divine Will, virtues take their place in the divine order; while, outside of It, in the human order, they are subject to self-esteem, to vainglory, to passions.  Oh! how many good works, how many attended Sacraments are to be cried over before God, and to be repaired for, because they are empty of Divine Will, and therefore without fruits.  Heaven willing that all would comprehend true sanctity.  Oh! how all other things would disappear.

Therefore, many find themselves on the false way of sanctity.  Many place it in the pious practices of piety - and woe to those who move them!  Oh! how they deceive themselves.  If their wills are not united with Jesus, and also transformed in Him - which is continued prayer - with all their pious practices their sanctity is false.  And it shows how these souls pass very easily from pious practices to defects, to amusements, to the sowing of discord, and other things.  Oh! how dishonored is this kind of sanctity  Others place it in going to church to attend all the services, but their will is far from Jesus; and it shows how these souls have little care for their own duties.  And if they are hindered, they get angry, they cry that their sanctity goes up in the air, they lament, they disobey, they are the wounds of the families.  Oh! what false sanctity.  Others place it in frequent confessions, in minute spiritual directions, in having scruples about everything; but then they have no scruple that their will does not run together with the Will of Jesus - and woe to those who contradict them!  These souls are like inflated balloons:  a little hole is enough for the air to come out, and their sanctity goes up in smoke, and falls to the ground.  These poor balloons have always something to say, they are mostly inclined to sadness, they live always in doubt, and therefore would like to have a director for themselves, who would advise them, give them peace and console them in every little thing.  But they are soon more agitated than before.  Poor sanctity, how forged it is.

I would like the tears of my Jesus to cry together with Him over these false sanctities, and make everyone know how true sanctity is in doing the Divine Will and in living in the Divine Volition.  This sanctity sinks its roots so deep that there is no danger that it may oscillate, because it fills earth and Heaven, and everywhere it finds its support.  This soul is firm, not subject to inconstancies, to voluntary defects; she is attentive to her duties, she is the most sacrificed, detached from everyone and from everything, even from directions themselves; and since the roots are deep, she rises so high that the flowers and fruits bloom in Heaven; and she is so hidden in God that the earth sees little or nothing of this soul.  The Divine Will keeps her absorbed within Itself; only Jesus is the author, the life, the form of the sanctity of this enviable creature.  She has nothing of her own, but everything is in common with Jesus; her passion is the Divine Will; her characteristic is the Will of her Jesus, and the Fiat is her continuous motto.

On the other hand, the poor and false sanctity of the balloons is subject to continuous inconstancies, and while it seems that the balloons of their sanctity swell so much as to seem to be flying in the air at a certain height, to the point that many, and even the directors, are amazed - soon they are disillusioned.  One humiliation, one preference of the directors toward someone else, is enough to make these balloons deflate, for they believe this is a theft against them, considering themselves the neediest.  Therefore, while having scruples about trifles, they then reach the point of disobeying.  Jealousy is the woodworm of these balloons, which, consuming the good they do, keeps sucking air from them, and the poor balloon deflates and falls to the ground, reaching the point of dirtying itself with earth.  Then the sanctity that was in the balloon appears.  And what does one find?  Love of self, resentment, passions hidden under the aspect of good, almost to have occasion to say:  ‘They have made themselves the amusement of the devil.’  So, of all their sanctity, nothing was found but a mass of defects, apparently disguised as virtues.  But then, who can say everything?  Only Jesus knows the worst evils of this false sanctity, of this devout life without foundation, because it leans on false piety.  These false sanctities are the spiritual lives without fruit, sterile, which are the cause of who knows how much crying for my lovable Jesus.  They are the ill feeling of society, the worries of the very directors, and of families.  It can be said that they bring with themselves a noxious air that harms everyone.

Oh! how so very different is the sanctity of the soul who lives in the Divine Will!  These souls are the smile of Jesus; they are far away from everyone, even from the very directors.  Only Jesus is everything for them; therefore, nobody worries because of them.  The beneficial air that they possess embalms all; they are the order and the harmony of all.  Jesus, jealous of these souls, makes Himself actor and spectator of whatever they do – there is not one heartbeat, breath or thought which He does not regulate and dominate.  Jesus keeps this soul so absorbed in the Divine Will that she can hardly remember that she is living in the exile. 

Volume 17 – May 21, 1925

“This is why I have told you many times that living in My Will is very different:  those who do My Will are free to give their own and to take it back, because they live as terrestrial citizens; but one who lives in It is bound to an eternal point, flows together with My Will, is surrounded by an impregnable fortress.  Therefore, do not fear, and be attentive.”

The Lords Prayer

The Lords Prayer

 April 14, 1923 How God, in doing works which must serve for the general good, centralizes all the good He wants to give in one creature from the human family.

“Now, my daughter, let’s come to my Will. Do you think it is a sanctity like the other sanctities? A good, a grace, almost like the others which I have given for many centuries to the other Saints and to the whole Church? No, no! This is about a new era – about a good which must serve all generations; but it is necessary that I first centralize all this good in one creature alone, just as I did in Redemption by centralizing everything in my Mama. Take a look at how things proceed in a parallel way: in order to make Redemption come and to dispose souls for It, I made the promise of the future Messiah, so that, by hoping for Him to come, they would not only dispose themselves, but find, they too, their own salvation in the future Redeemer. Now, in order to dispose souls to live in my Will, to let them partake in the goods It contains, and to make man return to the path of his origin, just as he was created by Me, I Myself wanted to pray as the first, making my voice resound from one end of the earth to another, and even up high in Heaven, saying: ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven’. I did not say ‘My Father’, but I called Him Father of the whole human family, so as to engage Him in that which I was going to add: ‘May all hallow your Name, so that your Kingdom may come, and your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’. This was the purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled. Because I Myself prayed, the Father surrendered to my supplications, and I formed the seed of a good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught my prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church prays and repeats my very prayer many times, and disposes Herself to receive that creatures would recognize and love my Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the great good that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. 

It comes to give man his state of origin, his nobility, the purpose for which he was created. It comes to open the current between Its Will and the human will, in such a way that, absorbed by this Divine Will, dominated by It, the human will will give It life within itself, and my Will will reign on earth as It does in Heaven.”

May 2, 1923 When the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ has Its fulfillment ‘on earth as It is in Heaven’, then will the complete fulfillment of the second part of the Our Father take place.

“My daughter, oh! how well your acts done in my Will harmonize. They harmonize with mine, with those of my beloved Mama, and one disappears within the other, forming one single act - it seems like Heaven on earth, and the earth in Heaven; and the echo of one in three and of three in one, of the Sacrosanct Trinity. Oh! how sweet it sounds to Our hearing, how it enraptures Us, but so much as to capture Our Will from Heaven to earth. And when my ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ has Its fulfillment ‘on earth as It is in Heaven’, then will the complete fulfillment of the second part of the Our Father take place - that is, ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ I said: ‘Our Father, in the name of all, I ask You for three kinds of bread each day: the bread of your Will, or rather, more than bread, because if bread is necessary two or three times a day, this one is necessary at each moment, in all circumstances. Even more, it must be not only bread, but like balsamic air that brings life - the circulation of the Divine Life in the creature. Father, if this bread of your Will is not given, I will never be able to receive all the fruits of my Sacramental Life, which is the second bread we ask of You every day. Oh! how my Sacramental Life feels discomforted, because the bread of your Will does not nourish them; on the contrary, it finds the corrupted bread of the human will. Oh! how disgusting it is to Me! How I shun it! And even though I go to them, yet I cannot give them the fruits, the goods, the effects, the sanctity, because I do not find Our bread in them. And if I give something, it is in small proportion, according to their dispositions, but not all the goods which I contain; and my Sacramental Life is patiently waiting for man to take the bread of the Supreme Will, in order to be able to give all the good of my Sacramental Life. See then, how the Sacrament of the Eucharist - and not only It, but all the Sacraments, left to my Church and instituted by Me - will give all the fruits which they contain and complete fulfillment, when Our bread, that is, the Will of God, is done on earth as It is in Heaven.

Then I asked for the third bread - the material one. How could I say: ‘Give us this day our bread’? In view of the fact that, as man would do Our Will, what was Ours would be his, and so the Father would no longer have to give the bread of His Will, the bread of my Sacramental Life and the daily bread of natural life, to illegitimate, usurping, evil children, but to legitimate and good children, who would share in the goods of their Father; it is because of this that I said: ‘Give us our bread.’ Then will they eat the blessed bread; everything will smile around them, and Heaven and earth will carry the mark of the harmony of their Creator.

After this I added: ‘Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.’ So, charity also will be perfect. Then will forgiveness have the mark of heroism, as I had it on the Cross - once man has eaten the bread of my Will as my Humanity ate it. Then will the virtues be absorbed into my Will and receive the mark of true heroism and of divine virtues; they will be like many little rivulets which will gush forth from the bosom of the great sea of my Will.

And if I added, ‘And lead us not into temptation’ - how could God ever lead man into temptation? - it was because man is always man, free in himself, since I never take away from him the rights I gave him in creating him; and he, frightened and fearful of himself, tacitly cries out, and prays without expressing it with words: ‘Give us the bread of your Will, that we may reject all temptations; and by virtue of this bread, deliver us from every evil. Amen.’

See, then, how all the goods of man find again their connection, the tight bond of the ‘Let Us make man in Our image and likeness’, the validity of each of his acts, the restitution of the lost goods, as well as the signature and the assurance that his lost happiness, both terrestrial and celestial, is given back to him. Therefore, it is so necessary that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, that I had no other interest, nor did I teach any other prayer but the ‘Our Father’. And the Church, faithful executor and depository of my teachings, has it always on Her lips, and in every circumstance. And everyone - learned and ignorant, little and great, priests and lay people, kings and subjects - all pray to Me that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. 

Do you not want, then, that my Will descend upon earth? But just as Redemption had Its beginning in a Virgin - as I was not conceived in all men in order to redeem them, even though whoever wants it, can enter the good of Redemption and each one can receive Me in the Sacrament for himself alone – in the same way, now my Will must have Its beginning, possession, growth and development in one virgin creature. And then, whoever disposes himself and wants it, will enter the goods which the living in my Will contains. Had I not been conceived in my beloved Mama, Redemption would never have come. In the same way, if I do not operate the prodigy of making one soul live in my Supreme Will, the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven’, will not take place in the human generations.”

The Wheels of Eternity

THE WHEELS OF ETERNITY

Ezekiel 1:15:

+verse 15  “Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth (1) beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. (2) 

(1) Book of Heaven, volume 12, 1/1/20:  “My daughter, My Will is wheel, and whoever enters into It remains so circumvented inside as to not find the opening to leave.  Moreover, everything that she does remains fixed to the Eternal Point and opens in the Wheel of Eternity.” 

(2)  CCC#1138:  “...all creation (the four living beings)...”

+verse 16  “As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness (1), their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. (2)

(1)  Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/2/22: “Now, the little wheel that was in the center seemed as though it were a little sun-wheel; Jesus admiring Himself within it, so as to see whether His adorable Person would reappear in its entirety in the sun-wheel; His Person reappearing in it, Jesus was very happy....”

(2)  Book of Heaven, Volume 16, 9/21/23:  “My daughter, this circle is my Eternal Will that embraces the great wheel of Eternity.  All that is within this great circle is none other than all that My Humanity did in the Divine Will to impetrate that my Volition be fulfilled on earth as in Heaven.”

+verse 17  “When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. 

Book of Heaven, Volume 17, 8/14/24:  “My daughter, do you want to move always about in my Volition?  Oh, with what longing and with what love do I wish for you to go always around in my Volition!  Your soul will be the little wheel; my Will will supply you the spring to make you go around speedily without ever stopping.  Your desire will be the point of departure from where you want to leave, which way you want to take, if it is in the past or the present, or if you wish to delight yourself in future ways.  It will be as you choose.  You will always be dear, and you will give Me the greatest delight no matter which point of departure you select.”

+verse 18  “The four wheels had rims and they had spokes and their rims were full of eyes round about.”

Book of Heaven, Volume 14, 8/29/22:  “Imagine a wheel: the center is my Humanity; the spokes are everything I did and suffered.  The circle  (the rims) where all the spokes unite is the human family (full of eyes) which revolves around the center.” 

+verses 19-20  “And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.  Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.”

Book of Heaven, Volume 14, 8/12/22:  “....this wire of your human will shall fuse into My Will in the great wheel of eternity; it shall reach to all places and will be encountered everywhere.”

+verse 21  “When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth; the wheels rose along with them (1); for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels (2).

(1)  Book of Heaven, Volume 16, 2/2/24:  “This happens as in a machine where there is a prime wheel and many other little wheels fixed around it.  As the prime wheel moves, the little wheels receive their motion; but they never touch the prime wheel, nor do they know anything of what it does of the good it contains.  On the other hand, another little wheel, which is not fixed, goes around by means of a mechanism for all the wheels, in order to find itself in each motion of the prime wheel and again do its round.  Now this little wheel, going around, knows what there is in the prime wheel and takes part in the good it contains.  Well then, the first wheel is My Will; the fixed wheels are the souls abandoned to themselves which render them immobilized for doing good; the wheel going around is the soul that lives in My Will; and the mechanism is total abandonment in Me.  Thus, each lack of abandonment is a round that one loses in the ambience of Eternity....”

(2)  Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 10/21/21:  “Eternity turns you around like a wheel, so that you take part in everything and nothing escapes from you; all of this is so that my Will is honored and fully glorified in you.”

Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/4/22:

“My daughter, the souls that live in my Will are the little wheels that turn in the great wheel of Eternity.  My Will is the motion and the life of the never-ending wheel of Eternity.  As these souls enter into my Volition to pray, to love, to work, etc., the wheel of Eternity makes them turn in its endless circumference; in that wheel they find everything that has been done and must be done, everything that should have been done and is not done.  Oh, how beautiful it is to see a soul enter into my Volition!  As it enters, the great wheel of Eternity gives it a rope to make it turn in the massive structure of the wheel, and the small wheel undergoes eternal turns.  The rope of the great wheel puts it into communication with all the divine ropes; as it turns, it does whatever its Creator does.”  “As the soul enters into my Will - even by a simple acceptance, or an abandonment - I give it a rope to make it turn.  It turns as many times as minds think, as creatures give glances, as they speak words, as they take steps and accomplish works; they turn at every divine act, at every movement, at every grace that descends from Heaven: in other words, at whatever is done in Heaven and on earth, they turn.  The turns of these little wheels are quick and rapid;  consequently, they are incalculable to themselves.

Revelation 21:15-16

“And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city (Isaiah 60:14: “they shall call you the City of the Lord...”) and its gates and walls.  The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth.”

Zechariah 2:5-6

“And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! Then I said, ‘Where are you going?’.  And he said to me, ‘To measure Jerusalem to see what is its breadth and what is its length.’”

The Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/2/22:

Luisa: “This morning, my ever amiable Jesus came, all goodness and sweetness; He had a rope around His neck and in His hand an instrument...”  “Then He removed the rope from His neck and placed it on my own;  He then fastened the instrument in the center of my person.  A measuring device that turned by a small wheel in the center of the instrument was measuring my entire person, to see whether all the parts were equal.  He was very careful to observe whether the measuring device, as it turned around, found a perfect equality.  Having found this equality, He gave a sigh of great joy, saying: ‘If I had not found it equal, I would not have been able to accomplish what I want.’”  Now, the little wheel that was in the center seemed as though it were a little sun-wheel; Jesus admiring himself within it, so as to see whether His adorable Person would reappear in its entirety in the sun-wheel; His Person reappearing in it, Jesus was very happy.....”At that very moment, there descended from Heaven another little wheel of light that was similar to the one that was in the center of my person; but it did not detach its rays from Heaven.  They became jointed together, and Jesus placed them in me with His most Holy Hands.”  “Acts done in my Volition will turn always in the never-ending wheel of eternity, so as to make themselves life, light, and warmth for everyone.”

Jeremiah 17:18: “The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ‘Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.’  So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel.  And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.”

The Echo of Love

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)

Book of Heaven, Vol. 2, October 25, 1899: 

“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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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:

“You must be Our 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 teacher.”

 Book of Heaven, Vol. 19, July 2, 1926:

“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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 24, April 26, 1928:

“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…”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 24, April 29, 1928:

“…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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

 Book of Heaven, Vol. 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.”

Book of Heaven, Vol. 32, April 23, 1933:

“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
