The Resurrection is the Confirmation of
the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.
The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will.
Limbo.
Day 28 - The Expectation.
Victory over Death: the Resurrection.
The soul to her Queen Mother:
My pierced Mama, your little
child, knowing that You are alone, without your beloved Good, Jesus, wants to
cling to You to keep You company in your most bitter desolation. Without Jesus,
all things change into sorrow for You. The memory of His harrowing pains, the
sweet sound of His voice which still resounds in your ear, the charming gaze of
dear Jesus, now sweet, now sad, now swollen with tears, but which always
enraptured your maternal Heart – as You don’t have them with You any more, they
are like sharp swords which pierce your maternal Heart through.
Desolate Mama, your dear
child wants to give You relief and compassion for each pain. Even more, I would
like to be Jesus, to be able to give You all the love, the comforts, the
reliefs and the compassion which Jesus Himself would have given You in your
state of bitter desolation. Sweet Jesus gave me to You as your child;
therefore, put me in His place in your maternal Heart, and I will be all for my
Mama; I will dry your tears, and I will always keep You company.
Lesson of the Desolate Queen
and Mother:
Dearest child, thank you for
your company; but if you want your company to be sweet and dear to Me, and
bearer of relief to my pierced Heart, I want to find in you the Divine Will
operating and dominating, and that you do not surrender even one breath of life
to your will. Then will I exchange you with my Son Jesus, because, His Will
being in you, in It I will feel Jesus in your heart. Oh, how happy I will be to
find in you the first fruit of His pains and of His death! In finding my
beloved Jesus in my child, my pains will change into joys, and my sorrows into
conquests.
Now, listen to Me, child of
my sorrows. As my dear Son breathed His last, He descended into Limbo,
triumpher and bearer of glory and happiness to that prison in which were all
the Patriarchs and the Prophets, the first father Adam, dear Saint Joseph, my
holy parents, and all those who had been saved by virtue of the foreseen merits
of the future Redeemer. I was inseparable from my Son, and not even death could
take Him away from Me. So, in the ardor of my sorrows I followed Him into
Limbo, and was spectator of the feast and of the thanksgivings which that whole
great crowd of people gave to my Son, who had suffered so much, and whose first
step had been toward them, to beatify them and to bring them with Himself into
celestial glory. So, as He died, conquests and glory began for Jesus and for
all those who loved Him. This, dear child, is symbol of how, as the creature
makes her will die through union with the Divine Will, conquests of divine
order, glory and joy begin - even in the midst of the greatest sorrows.
Even though the eyes of my
soul followed my Son and I never lost sight of Him, at the same time, during
those three days in which He was buried, I felt such yearning to see Him risen,
that in the ardor of my love I kept repeating: "Rise, my Glory! Rise, my
Life!" My desires were ardent, my sighs, of fire - to the point of feeling
consumed.
Now, in these yearnings, I
saw my dear Son, accompanied by that great crowd of people, leaving Limbo and
going back to the sepulcher. It was the dawn of the third day, and just as all
nature had cried over Him, now it rejoiced; so much so, that the sun
anticipated its course to be present at the act in which my Son was rising. But
– oh marvel! - before rising again, He showed that crowd of people His Most
Holy Humanity - bleeding, wounded, disfigured; the way it had been reduced for
love of them and for all. All were moved, and admired the excesses of love and
the great portent of Redemption.
Now, my child, oh, how I
wish you to be present in the act of the Resurrection of my Son! He was all Majesty; from
His Divinity, united to His soul, He unleashed enchanting seas of light and
beauty, such as to fill Heaven and earth. Then, triumphantly, making use of His
power, He commanded His dead Humanity to receive His soul again, and to rise,
triumphantly and gloriously, to immortal life. What a solemn act! My dear Jesus
triumphed over death, saying: "Death, you will be death no longer - but
life!"
With this act of triumph, He
placed the seal on the fact that He was Man and God; and with His Resurrection,
He confirmed the Gospel, His miracles, the life of the Sacraments, and the
whole life of the Church. And not only this, but He obtained triumph over the
human wills, weakened and almost extinguished to true good, to let triumph over
them the life of that Divine Will which was to bring the fullness of Sanctity
and of all goods to creatures. And at the same time, by virtue of His
Resurrection, He sowed into the bodies the seed of resurrection to everlasting
glory. My child, the Resurrection of my Son encloses everything, says
everything, confirms everything, and is the most solemn act that He did for
love of creatures.
Now, listen to Me, my child;
I want to speak to you as a Mother who loves her child very much. I want to
tell you what it means to do the Divine Will and to live of It; and the example
is given to you by my Son and by Me. Our life was strewn with pains, with poverty,
with humiliations, to the point of seeing my beloved Son die of pains; but in
all this ran the Divine Will. It was the life of our pains, and We felt
triumphant and conquerors, to the extent of changing even death into life; so
much so, that in seeing Its great good, We voluntarily exposed ourselves to
sufferings because, since the Divine Will was in Us, no one could impose
himself on It, or on Us. Suffering was in our power, and We called upon it as
nourishment and triumph of the Redemption, so as to be able to bring good to
the entire world.
Now, dear child, if your
life and your pains have the Divine Will as their center of life, be certain
that sweet Jesus will use you and your pains to give help, light and grace to
the whole universe. Therefore, pluck up courage; the Divine Will can do great
things where It reigns. In all circumstances, reflect yourself in Me and in
your sweet Jesus, and move forward.
The soul:
Holy Mama, if You help me
and keep me sheltered under your mantle, acting as my celestial sentry, I am
certain that I will convert all my pains into Will of God; and I will follow
You, step by step, along the unending ways of the Supreme Fiat, because I know
that your charming love of Mother and your power will win over my will, and You
will keep it in your power and exchange it with the Divine Will. Therefore, my
Mama, I entrust myself to You, and I abandon myself into your arms.
Little Sacrifice:
Today, to honor Me, your
will say seven times: "Not my will, but Yours be done", offering Me my
sorrows to ask Me for the grace always to do the Divine Will.
Ejaculatory Prayer:
My Mama, for the sake of the
Resurrection of your Son, make me rise again in the Will of God.
Book of Heaven, Vol. 4, April 7,
1901: Luisa, “…I saw my adorable Jesus for a
little, in the act of His Resurrection, with His face so refulgent as to not be
comparable to any other splendor. It seemed to me that the Most Holy Humanity
of Our Lord, though It was living flesh, was so bright and transparent that one
could see with clarity the Divinity united to the Humanity. Now, while I was
seeing Him so glorious, a light that came from Him seemed to tell me: “My Humanity received so much glory by
means of perfect obedience which, destroying the ancient nature completely,
gave Me back the new nature, glorious and immortal. In the same way, by means
of obedience, the soul can form within her the perfect resurrection to virtues.
For example: if the soul is afflicted, obedience will make her rise again to
joy; if restless, obedience will make her rise again to peace; if tempted,
obedience will administer to her the strongest chain with which to bind the
enemy, and will make her rise again victorious over the diabolical snares; if
she is besieged by passions and vices, by killing them, obedience will make her
rise again to virtues. This, to the soul, and in due time, it will also form
the resurrection of the body.”
