EXPLANATION OF THE PRAYERS OF THE ROSARY
The Sign of the Cross
See then, what blessing means: confirmation of
Our creative work, because the work We do once is so filled with wisdom, with
sublimity and with beauty, that We love to repeat it always. And if Our
blessing is nothing other than the sigh of Our Heart to see Our image restored
in the creatures, as well as the repetition of Our confirmation of what We want
to do, the sign of the Cross that the Church teaches to the faithful is nothing
other than impetrating Our likeness on the part of creatures; and so, echoing
Our blessing, they repeat: ‘In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.’ Therefore, without knowing it, the Church and all the faithful
harmonize with the eternal Creator, and all want the same thing: God, by
blessing and pronouncing the words, ‘Father, Son and Holy Spirit’, wants to
give His likeness; the creatures impetrate it by making the sign of the Cross,
pronouncing the same words.” July 29,

The Creed
I was doing the
adoration of the wounds of blessed Jesus, and at the end I recited the Creed,
intending to enter into the immensity of the Divine Will in which there are all
the acts of the creatures, past, present and future, and even those acts which
the creature should do, but did not, because of negligence or wickedness. And I was saying: ‘My Jesus, my Love, I enter your Volition,
and with this Creed I intend to redo and repair all the acts of faith which the
creatures have not done, all the disbeliefs, and the lacks of adoration which
is due to God as Creator... Book of Heaven, Vol. 12, Jan. 29, 1919
The Our Father
“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.” Book of Heaven, May, 2, 1919
The Hail Mary
The first canticle that they sang to my Mama
was the ‘Hail Mary’, because in the ‘Hail Mary’ there are the most beautiful
praises, the greatest honors; and the joy which She felt in being made Mother
of God is renewed. Therefore, let us recite it together to honor Her, and when
you yourself come to Paradise, I will let you find it as if you had recited it
together with the Angels for the first time in Heaven.” Book of Heaven, Aug. 15,, 1899
The Glory Be
I
prayed Jesus to give me the grace to fulfill His Most Holy Will. And my beloved
Jesus, as though wanting to cheer me, came out from within my interior, and
squeezing me tightly to His Most Holy Heart, infused new strength in me. At
that moment, the Heavens opened and I heard everyone say, in chorus: “Glory be
to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit”. I don’t know how, but it
was my turn to answer: ‘As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.’ But who can say what was happening? In the word
“Father” one could see the creative power flowing everywhere, preserving
everything, giving life to everything. The mere breath of this word was enough
to maintain everything He had created intact, beautiful and ever new. In the
word “Son” one could see all the works of the Word, renewed, ordered, and all
in act of filling Heaven and earth to give themselves for the good of
creatures. In the word “Holy Spirit” one could see all things being invested
with a speaking, operative and vivifying love. But who can say everything? I
felt my poor mind immersed in the eternal beatitudes, and my adorable Jesus,
wanting to call me back into myself, told me: “My daughter, do you know why it
was your turn to say the second part of the ‘Glory be’? Since my Will is in
you, it befitted you to bring the earth up to Heaven, in order to give, in the
name of all, together with the Celestial Court, that glory which will never end
- ‘world without end’. Eternal things, which never end, can be found only in my
Will, and one who possesses It is in communication with Heaven. This soul takes
part in everything they do in the celestial regions, and she is as though in
act together with the celestial Blessed.” Book of Heaven, March 2, 1926
“My
daughter, for one who lives in my Will, her Sanctity has only one point - it is
the continued ‘Glory be’, followed by ‘as it was in the beginning, is now and
ever shall be, world without end.’ There is nothing which does not give glory
to God - complete in everything, always stable, always the same, always queen,
without ever changing. This Sanctity is not subject to setbacks, to losses – It
is to always reign. So, Its foundation is the ‘Glory be’, Its prerogative is
the ‘as it was in the beginning, etc.’” Book of Heaven, May 1, 1920
