DAY 20, - The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will
Visit to St. Elisabeth; Sanctification of John.
My child, give Me your hand now, and follow Me, because I will
continue to give you my lessons.
So I departed from Nazareth, accompanied by Saint Joseph, facing
a long journey, and crossing mountains to go visit Elisabeth in Judea, who, in
her advanced age, had miraculously become a mother. I went to her, not to make
her a simple visit, but because I burned with the desire to bring her Jesus.
The fullness of grace, of love, of light that I felt within Me, pushed Me to
bring, to multiply – to increase a hundredfold the life of my Son in creatures.
Yes, my child, the
love of Mother which I had for all men, and for you in particular, was so
great, that I felt the extreme need to give my dear Jesus to all, so that all
might possess Him and love Him. The right of Mother, given to Me by the Fiat,
enriched Me with such power as to multiply Jesus as many times as there are
creatures who want to receive Him. This was the greatest miracle I could
perform: to have Jesus ready to give to whomever desired Him. How happy I felt.
How I wish that you too, my child, in approaching people and in
making visits, would always be the bearer of Jesus, capable of making Him known,
and yearning to make Him loved.
After several days of travel, finally I arrived in Judea, and I
hastened to the house of Elisabeth. She came to meet Me in feast. At the
greeting I gave her, marvelous phenomena occurred. My little Jesus exulted in
my womb, and fixing on little John in the womb of his mother with the rays of
His Divinity, He sanctified him, gave him the use of reason, and made known to
him that He was the Son of God. And John leaped so vigorously with love and
with joy that Elisabeth felt shaken. She too, touched by the light of the
Divinity of my Son, recognized that I had become the Mother of God; and in the
emphasis of her love, trembling with gratitude, she exclaimed: “Whence comes to
me so much honor, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?”
I did not deny the highest mystery; rather, I humbly confirmed
it. Praising God with the song of the Magnificat – sublime canticle, through
which the Church continuously honors Me - I announced that the Lord had done
great things in Me, His handmaid, and that because of this, all peoples would
call Me blessed.
My child, I felt devoured with the desire to pour out the flames
of love that consumed Me, and to reveal my secret to Elisabeth, who also longed
for the Messiah to come upon earth. A secret is a need of the heart which,
irresistibly, is revealed to persons who are capable of understanding each
other.
Who can ever tell you how much good my visit brought to
Elisabeth, to John, and to their whole household? Each one remained sanctified,
filled with gladness, felt unusual joys, and comprehended things unheard-of.
And John, in particular, received all the graces which were necessary for him,
to prepare himself to be the precursor of my Son.
Dearest child, the Divine Will does great and unheard-of things
wherever It reigns. If I worked many prodigies, it was because It had Its royal
place in Me. If you let the Divine Will reign in your soul, you too will become
the bearer of Jesus to creatures – you too will feel the irresistible need to
give Him to all.
My hymn of Praise
to God
Words of Love,
because He first loved me, Nov., 1996:
My soul proclaims your greatness, O Lord,
You have breathed life into my famished soul.
You alone meet the hunger which only grace can fill,
The thirst which only You can quench.
Your promises are my hope,
Your Words, the joy of my heart.
Through the sword flowed the Living Water
that flowed through this desert reviving it,
bringing life once again to the parched land.
A whisper heard within my heart,
a bright light which questioned me.
I answered, “Yes”, but did not understand.
You called me to Yourself.
With hands outstretched you beckoned me.
You watered your flower in need of nourishment.
The rays poured out from Your Heart,
pierced for love of me.
You lifted up my soul in your powerful arms,
and held me close to You,
Filling my heart with an unknown love,
leaving your imprint upon my soul.
My spirit rejoices in You, my Savior.
My soul is filled with Your Light.
Lynne B.
