March 20, 1932 Three necessary conditions in order to obtain the Kingdom of the Divine Will. How everyone lives in the Divine Will. Different ways of living.
Luisa: I was thinking of the Divine Will and I said to myself: “If Our Lord so
very loves to make known a Volition so holy and wants that he reign in the
midst of creatures, why then does he want that one prays in order to obtain it?
While one time (that) he wants it, he can also give it without so much (as
anyone) praying for it.” And my sweet
Jesus surprising me said to me:
“My daughter, knowing my Divine Will is
the greatest thing that I can give and the creature can receive. And his reigning is the confirmation of
his great gift, it is the carrying out of his known Will. Hence it is necessary to ask for
him. With asking for him [the
creature] disposes herself for it, she forms in herself the Palace where to
receive him. With asking for him she acquires the love in order to love him,
she acquires the dowries of sacrifice that is needed in order to possess him,
and as she asks, the human volition loses its ground, is weakened, loses
strength and is disposed to receive the dominion of the Supreme Volition. And
God seeing himself prayed to disposes himself to give it. The dispositions are needed on both parts in order to give our
celestial gifts. How many gifts we want to give, but because we are not asked
we retain them in ourselves, waiting to give them when we will be asked.
Asking is as if it might open the commerce between the Creator and the
creature. If she does not ask, the commerce is closed and our celestial gifts
don’t descend in order to put themselves in circuit upon the face of the earth.
Hence, (the) first indispensable necessities in order to obtain the Kingdom of
the Divine Will is to ask for it with incessant prayers, because as one prays,
thus the little letters arrive to us, now with solicitudes, now with
supplications, now with accord that want to have to do with our Will, until the
last letter will arrive with the final accord
“(The) second necessities, more
indispensable than the first in order to obtain this kingdom: it is necessary
to know what can be had.
Who can ever think of a good, desire it, love it, if she doesn’t know that she
can obtain it? No one. If the ancients might not have known that the future
Redeemer should come, no one would have given thought nor [would they have]
prayed, nor hoped for salvation, because the salvation, the sanctity of those
times remained fixed, centralized in the future Celestial Savior. Outside of
this there was no hope for some good. To know that one can have a good forms
the substance, the life, the food of that good in the creature. Behold therefore
the so many knowledges on my Will that I have manifested to you, so that it can
be known that they can have the Kingdom of my Will. When one knows that a good
can be had, the arts are used, the industries, and the means are undertaken in
order to obtain the intent.
“The third necessary means is to know
that God wants to give this kingdom. This casts the foundations, the certain hope in order to obtain it,
and forms the last preparations in order to receive the Kingdom of my Divine
Will. [For] a good that one wants and longs for, to know that who can give it,
already wants to give it, it can be called the last blow of grace and the final
act in order to obtain that which one wants. In fact if I might not have
manifested to you that I can give and want to give my Divine Will dominating
and reigning in the midst of creatures, you would have been indifferent like
all the others for a good so great. So that your interest, your prayers have
been effects and parts of that which you have known. And I myself when I came
upon the earth, [in] the thirty years of my hidden life it can be said that I
apparently didn’t do good to anyone, nor did even one know me. I remained in
the midst of them unobserved, the whole good was developed between me and the
Celestial Father, my Celestial Mother and dear St. Joseph, because they knew
who I was; all the others [knew] nothing. Instead when I went out from my
hideaway and openly made myself known saying that I was really the promised
Messiah, their Redeemer and Savior, and although with having made myself known
I attracted on me calumnies, persecutions, contradictions, anger, hatred of the
Hebrews and the Passion and death itself. All these evils that as copious rain
rained on me had the beginning in making myself known, I affirmed that which I
really was, the Word Eternal descended from heaven in order to save them. So
very true that even when I (was) in the house of Nazareth, not knowing who I
was, no one said anything of me, nor did they slander me nor did they hurt me.
As I revealed myself all the evils fell on me. But this was necessary to make
myself known, otherwise I would have left again for heaven without completing
the purpose for which I came upon the earth. Instead with making myself known,
in spite that I attracted so many evils, in the midst of this abyss of evils I
formed my Apostles, announced the Gospel, worked prodigies, and my knowledge
instigated my enemies to make me suffer so many sufferings, even to give me
death on the cross. But I obtained my intent, that so many would know me in the
midst of so many that didn’t want to know me, and to complete my Redemption. I
knew that, with making myself known, the perfidy and pride of the Hebrews would
have done so much. But it was necessary to make myself known, because a person,
a good if it isn’t known it is not bearer of life nor of good. The good, the
truths not known remain impeded in itself without fecundity, as so many sterile
mothers that finish with their generation.
“You see therefore how necessary it is
that one knows that I can give the Kingdom of my Will and that I want to give
it. I can say that
(there) enters the same necessity as that to make known that I was the Son of
God that I came upon the earth. And it’s also true that many with knowing this
will repeat that which they did to me when I made known who I was; the longed
for Messiah; calumnies, contradictions, doubts, suspicions, contempts, as
already they have done [there was] hardly the beginning of the printing that
mentioned to make my Divine Will known. But this says nothing, and the good
possesses the strength to wound evil, creatures, hell, feeling themselves
wounded they are armed against the good and would like to annihilate the good,
she or he who wants to make the good known. But in spite of all that which they
have wanted at the first beginning, on his wanting the knowledge of my Will to
be born, and that he wants to reign, they have as suffocated him. Yet he has
made his first steps, and that which some didn’t believe, others have believed.
The first steps will call the second, the third, and so on, in spite that there
won’t lack those people who will arouse contradictions and doubts, but it is of
absolute necessity that one knows my Divine Will, that I can give him and I
want to give him. These are the conditions that without them God can not give
that which he wants to give, and the creature can not receive him. Therefore
pray, and do not give back in making my Divine Will known. The time, the
circumstances, the things, the persons change, they are not always those.
Therefore that which one doesn’t obtain today can be obtained tomorrow, however
to the confusion of whom has suffocated a good so great. But my Will will
triumph and will have his kingdom upon the earth.”
Whence I continued to think of the Divine Will and I abandoned all of myself in
his divine arms, and my beloved Jesus added:
“Good daughter, you should know that my Divine Will possesses and contains
inside of himself everything; all the joys, all the beauties, from Him
everything goes forth, and without losing anything, he contains everything in
himself. It can be said that he carries everyone and everything in his immense
womb of light. So that everyone lives in Him, with this difference, that one
who with all her will wants to live in Him and lets herself be subjugated by
his dominion, lives as daughter, and as daughter becomes constituted heiress of
joys, of beauties, of the goods of her Mother/(the Divine Will), in a way that
this Divine Mother is all intent to embellish, to enrich and to make her
daughter rejoice. Instead one who wants to live of human will and does not let
herself be subjugated by his dominion she lives in this Holy Will, but lives
not as daughter but as stranger, and all the joys are converted for the creature
into bitterness, the riches into poverty, beauties into ugliness; because
living as stranger she lives as set apart from the goods that my Divine Will
possesses, and justly merits that she possesses nothing of the good. Her human
volition that subjugates her gives her that which it holds: passions,
weaknesses, miseries. Nothing escapes from my Divine Will, not even hell, and
since they have not loved him in life, they have lived as limbs detached from
Him, but always inside, not outside. Now in those dismal prisons joys,
happiness, the beatitudes of my Divine Will are converted into sufferings and
into eternal torments. Therefore the
living in my Will is not new, as some believe. Everyone lives in Him, good and
bad. If one wants to say new, it is the way of living.
“One who
recognizes him as continuous act of life, who gives him the dominion in all her
acts, because the living in Him is the sanctity of every instant that the
creature receives. It can be said that she grows continually in sanctity, but
sanctity fed by my Will, grown together with Him. So that she feels my Will for
life more than her own life. Instead one who doesn’t live in Him, in spite that
she remains there within she doesn’t recognize him in her every act, and lives
as if she might live distant from Him and might not receive the continuous act
of his life, in spite that she receives it. In this way the sanctity of living
in my Volition is not formed, but at the most the sanctity of circumstances. So
that they remember my Divine Will when oppressed by a need, a sorrow, a cross,
[then] he hears them exclaim: ‘The Divine
Will be done.’ And in all the rest of their life, my Will where is he?
Isn’t he already with them contributing to all their acts? He remained, but
they didn’t recognize him. It happens as to a mother that lives in her palace,
who has given forth many children to the light. Some of these always remain
around the mother, whom infuses in the children her noble ways, she feeds them
with delicate and good foods, dresses them with decent attire, entrusts her
secrets to them and makes them heirs of her goods. One can say that the mother
lives in the children and the children in the mother. They felicitate each
other and love with inseparable love. The other children live in the palace of
the mother, but are not always around her. They find pleasure in living in the
distant rooms from those of the mother, hence they don’t learn her noble ways,
they don’t dress with decency. The foods that they take do them more evil than
good, and if sometimes they go to the mother it is not for love, but for need.
Whence the great difference between the one and the other of these children; in
spite of all this the one and the other live in the palace of the mother. Thus
everyone lives in my Will, but only one who wants to, lives of Him, lives in
Him as child with her Mother. All the others in spite that they live in Him,
they don’t even know him, others live as strangers, others know him in order to
offend him.”
