- The Treasure
"The kingdom of
heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found
and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that
field." Matthew 13:44
The Field:
Book of Heaven, Oct. 20, 1923 – “You must know that the soul is my field
in which I work, sow and harvest; but my favorite field is the soul who lives
in my Will. In this field my work is delightful.”
March,15, 2018 - This morning while in
prayer just before Mass, I went through a prayer that I sometimes pray saying
to Jesus something like “You are my
heart, my life, my breath and my everything” – and for some reason I added,
“You are my treasure.” Since I have not heard Jesus speak to me
in so very long or had any visions, I was quite surprised to see Him interiorly
standing in front of me holding out towards me in His Hands something that
looked like a crystal. I continued to
see this until just before receiving Holy Communion. I do not remember if this
was before or after having received Holy Communion, but I suddenly saw Jesus
enter into me, this was something I felt inside of me that is impossible to
explain. He stood with His back to me,
still holding out the crystal in His hands as though wanting to give it to
others. Somehow I understood that this represented a gift He gave to me and
that I was to share His gift with others.
Doubting what I had seen, when I
returned home I picked up my Louis de Montfort Consecration to Day Five and
read: Mt. 6:19-21 – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves
treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do
not break in and steal For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Then I read the Resolution for this day: “In your prayer tonight, put all of the
spiritual treasures that you receive during the day into the hands of Mary so that
She can guard them and augment them for you.”
Book of Heaven, April 26, 1899 - “I am so very pleased with the souls who are
detached from everything, not only in the affect, but also in the effect, that
insofar as they keep stripping themselves, so does my light keep investing
them, and they become just like crystals, which are such that the light of the
sun finds no impediment to penetrate inside, as it finds with buildings and
other material things.”
Book of Heaven, Jan. 30, 1916 - Now, my Will crystallizes the soul, and
everything she does is reflected in Me; and I, wounded and enraptured by these
reflections, send her all my light, so as to form another sun in her. So, it
seems that there is one sun in Heaven and another on earth. What enchantment -
and what harmonies between them! How many goods are poured out for the good of
all! But if the soul is not fixed in my Will, it can happen to her as to the
sun which is formed in the glass, which is a passing sun: after a while, the
glass remains in the dark, and the sun in Heaven remains alone.”
Book of Heaven, Jan. 6, 1902 - “…if one tries to continue my life by doing
what I did wherever he can – and where he cannot, at least with the desire and
the intention – I keep it in my hands as if I were continuing my whole life in
that soul, not as something past, but as if I were now living. This is a
treasure in my hands, because as I double the treasure of everything I
operated, I dispose it for the good of the whole of mankind. So, would you not
want to be one of these?”
Book of Heaven, Feb. 7, 1908 - “My
daughter, it is true that life is a weight, but when this weight is carried
with Me, and one finds out that at the end of his life he can unload this
weight within Me, he will find this
weight changed into a treasure, in which he will find gems, precious stones,
diamonds and all riches, such as to make him happy for eternity.”
Book of Heaven, November
6, 1922 - “My Will crystallizes the soul; and just as when any object is placed
close to a crystal, another object is formed within it fully similar to the one
which is placed in front of it, in the same way, my Will reflects everything It
does in these souls, crystallized by my power; and they repeat and do what my
Supreme Will does. And since my Will is present everywhere, in Heaven, on earth
and in every place, these souls, containing my Will within them as their own
life, wherever my Will acts, like crystal, they absorb It into themselves, and
they repeat my act. So, as I act, I take greatest delight in placing Myself in
front of them to see my own action being repeated in them. They are my mirrors,
and my Will multiplies them for each act It does, and everywhere…”
Book of Heaven, January 18, 1928 - I was
thinking to myself about the big issue concerning the writings on the Divine
Will, which are in Messina, brought there by the blessed memory of venerable
father Di Francia: how myself and my other superiors absolutely want them here,
while the superiors in Messina, rigorously recommended by the venerable father
before dying, want to keep them over there, for their publication when God
pleases. So, we do nothing but [send] letters of fire, back and forth – them,
to keep them, and us, to get them back. And I was feeling all worried, bored
and tired, and was saying to myself: ‘How could good Jesus allow all this? Who
knows whether He too feels disappointed?’ And He, moving in my interior, told
me: “My daughter, you are worried, but I am not disappointed at all; on the
contrary I enjoy in seeing the interest
that priests take in these writings which will form the Kingdom of my Will.
This means that they appreciate the great good of them, and each one would want
to keep such a great treasure with himself, to be the first to communicate it
to others. And while the issue of who is going to win lasts, one approaches the
other in order to consult one another on what to do. And I enjoy that more of
my ministers get to know that there is this treasure so great, of making known
the Kingdom of my Divine Will; My daughter, what great treasure has been
entrusted to you with so many truths I have told you on my Divine Will; a
treasure which has its source in its divine womb, and which will always give
light without ever ceasing. My truths are more than sun, which gives light to
the earth, invests it, fixes on it; and in fixing on it, it gives birth, on the
face of it and for each thing, to the effects and the goods which its light
contains. But, jealous, it does not detach its light from its center; and this
is so true that, as it moves on to illuminate other regions, the earth remains
in the dark. On the other hand, the Sun of my truths, while it does not detach
from its center, fixing itself in the soul, forms in her the perennial day….” “and I use this to form the first priests of
my coming Kingdom of my Fiat.”
Book of Heaven, November 4, 1928 - My
daughter, what great treasure has been
entrusted to you with so many truths I have told you on my Divine Will; a
treasure which has its source in its divine womb, and which will always give

“The Spirit took me to the top of a great
mountain which was very high, and the angel showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City
which is that of the Lord. It was coming
down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God; its radiance was like that of a precious
stone, like a gem, clear as crystal. The
city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it
light, and its lamp is the Lamb.” Rev.
21:10 – 11, 23-27
“The Holy City shall, in the end,
gather together that humanity which has been redeemed and saved, once it will
have been set completely free from the slavery of satan, sin and evil, by means
of the purification the great tribulation and the terrible chastisement.”
“The sinful city will now have vanished, and thus all creation will open itself with joy to receive the Hoy City, the new Jerusalem, come down out of heaven, the permanent dwelling place of God with men. (“To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” MMP #483)
