Ways to fuse oneself in the Divine Will

May 10, 1925, Vol. 17  

Different ways to fuse oneself in the Divine Will. 

Feast of the Divinity and reason for it.

I write only out of obedience, and I am going to make a mix of past and present things. Many times in my writings I say: “I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition,” and I don’t explain further. Now, forced by obedience, I will say what happens to me in this fusion in the Divine Volition.

As I fuse myself in It, an immense void, all of light, comes before my mind, in which one can find neither the extent of its height, nor of its depth, nor the boundaries on the right or on the left, nor those on the front or on the back. In the midst of this immensity, in a highest point, I seem to see the Divinity, or the Three Divine Persons waiting for me – but this, always mentally.

And, I don’t know how, a little child comes out from me; although it is still I - maybe it’s my little soul. It is moving to see this little child putting herself on the path within this immense empty space - all alone, shy, walking on tiptoe, with her eyes always fixed to the place where she sees the Three Divine Persons, because she fears that if she lowers her gaze in that immense void, she wouldn’t know at what point she would end up. All her strength is in that gaze fixed on high. In fact, in receiving in return the gaze of the Supreme Height, she draws strength along the way. Now, as the little one arrives before Them, she plunges herself with her face into that empty space, to adore the Divine Majesty. But a hand from the Divine Persons raises the little child; and They say to her: “Our daughter, the Little Daughter of Our Will – come into Our arms.” In hearing this, she becomes festive, and makes the Three Divine Persons festive; and delighting in her, They await the performance of the office, which They entrusted to her. And with grace typical of a child, she says: “I come to adore You, to bless You, to thank You for all. I come to bind to your throne all human wills of all generations, from the first to the last man, so that all may recognize Your Supreme Will. May all adore It, love It, and give It Life within their souls.”

Then she added: “O Supreme Majesty, in this immense void there are all these creatures, and I want to take them all and place them in your Holy Will, so that all may return to the origin from which they came – your Will. This is why I came into your paternal arms – to bring You all your children and brothers of mine, and bind them all with your Will. And in the name of all and for everyone, I want to repair You and give You homage and glory, as if everyone had done your Most Holy Will. But, please, I beg You, let there be no more separation between Divine and human will! It is a little child who is asking you this, and I know that You can deny nothing to the little ones.”

But who can say all that I did and said? I would be too long.  Besides, I lack the words to express what I say before the Supreme Majesty. It seems to me that here in the low world we don’t use the same language as in that immense empty space.

At other times, while I fuse myself in the Divine Will and that immense void comes before my mind, I wander around all created things, and I impress in them one “I love You” for the Supreme Majesty, as though wanting to fill the whole atmosphere with many “I love You’s,” in order to return the Supreme Love for His great love toward creatures. Even more, I go through each thought of creature, and I impress my “I love You;” through each gaze, and I leave my “I love You;” through each heartbeat, work and step, and I cover them with my “I love You,” addressing them to my God. I go down into the sea, into the depths of the ocean, and I want to fill every darting of the fish, every drop of water, with my “I love You.”

Then, after she has worked everywhere, as though sowing her “I love You,” the little child presents herself before the Divine Majesty, and wanting to make for Him a pleasing surprise, she says: “My Creator and my Father, my Jesus and my Eternal Love – look at everything, and hear how all creatures say that they love You.  Everywhere there is an ‘I love You’ for You; Heaven and earth are filled with them. And so, now, will You not concede to your tiny little one that your Will descend into the midst of creatures, make Itself known, make peace with the human will, and take Its just dominion - Its place of honor, so that no creature may ever do her will again, but always Yours?”

At other times, while I fuse myself in the Divine Volition, I want to feel sorrow for all the offenses given to my God, and I start my round again in that immense void, in order to find all the sorrow that Jesus felt for all sins. I make it my own, and I wander everywhere, in the most hidden and secret places, in public places, over all the acts of evil men, to feel sorrow for all the offenses. And for each sin, gathering within me all the sorrow for all sins, I feel like crying out in every motion of all creation: “Forgiveness, forgiveness!” There is not one offense to God, even the slightest one, for which I do not feel sorrow and ask forgiveness. And so that all may hear my plea of forgiveness for all sins, I impress it in the rumbling of the thunder, so that sorrow for having offended my God may thunder in all hearts. “Forgiveness!” in the striking of lightening. Sorrowful repentance in the whistling of the wind, crying out to all: “Repentance, and plea of forgiveness!” And in the tinkling of the bells: “Sorrow and forgiveness!” In sum, the same in everything. Then I bring the sorrow of all to my God, and I implore forgiveness for all, saying: “Great God, let your Will descend upon earth, so that sin may no longer take place! The human will alone is what produces so many offenses that it seems to be flooding the earth with sins. Your Will will be the destroyer of all evils.  Therefore, I beg you, make the Little Daughter of your Will content, who wants nothing else but that your Will be known and loved, and that It reign in all hearts.”

I remember that one day I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and I looked at the sky, as it was pouring rain. I felt great pleasure in seeing water pouring down upon the earth; and my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, with unspeakable love and tenderness told me: “My daughter, in those drops of water that you see pouring down from heaven, there is my Will. It flows rapidly together with the water. It runs to quench the thirst of the creatures, to descend into the human bowels and into their veins, to refresh them, and to become life of the creatures, bringing them my kiss and my Love. It descends to water the earth, to fecundate it, and to prepare the food for my creatures. It descends for many other needs of theirs. My Will wants to have Life in all created things, in order to give celestial and natural life to all creatures. However, though It descends festive and full of Love for all, It does not receive a fair return on the part of creatures, and It remains on an empty stomach. My daughter, your will too, fused in Mine, flows in that water that pours down from heaven. Run together with Me, wherever It goes. Never leave It alone, and give It the return of your love and gratitude for all.”

But as He was saying this, my eyes remained enchanted. I could not move them from that pouring water. My will was flowing together with it, and in that water I could see the hands of my Jesus multiplying into many, in order to bring water to all with His own hands. Who can say what I felt within me? Jesus alone can say it – He, Who is the Author of it. And who can say about the many ways of fusing myself in His Most Holy Volition? For now I have said enough. If Jesus wants me to continue another time, He will give me the words and the grace to say more, and I will start again.

In addition, I was saying to my Jesus: “Tell me, my Love, what is this void that comes before my mind when I fuse myself in your Most Holy Will? Who is this little child coming out from me, and why does she feel an irresistible force to come to your throne and place her little acts into the divine womb, almost to make Him a feast?”

My sweet Jesus, all goodness, told me: “My daughter, the empty space is my unrequited Will, placed at your disposal, which should be filled with so many acts - as many as the creatures would have done, had they all fulfilled Our Will. This immense void that you see, which represents Our Will, came out from Our Divinity for the benefit of all in Creation, to delight everyone and everything.  Therefore, as a consequence, all creatures should have filled this void with the return of their acts, and by giving their wills to their Creator. But since they did not do so, they saddened Us with the most grave offense that can possibly be imagined. This is why We called you with a special mission: so that this void may be returned and filled with all that the others should have given Us. And this is the reason for which We disposed you with a long chain of graces, and then asked you if you wanted to live in Our Will; and you answered with a ‘yes,’ firm and irretractable, binding your will to Our throne. And you did not want to recognize it any more, because human will and Divine Will do not reconcile, and cannot live together. That ‘yes,’ your will, exists, and is tightly bound to Our throne. And this is why your soul, like a little child reborn in Our Divine Volition, is drawn before the Supreme Majesty: because as you rise up toward Us, your will – which is already Ours – precedes you, and you feel Our Will attracting you like a powerful magnet.  And instead of looking at your will, you interest yourself only in bringing onto Our lap everything you did in Our Will, as the greatest homage which befits Us, and as the return most pleasing to Us. Your indifference to your will - as you’ve already lost sight of it - and Our Will alone living in you, make Us festive. Your little acts done in Our Will bring Us the joys of the whole Creation. It seems that everything smiles at Us, and that all created things make feast. And in seeing that you descend from Our throne with not even the slightest attention to your will – which is as though lost within Ours – and in seeing you going back to earth taking Our Will, is an infinite joy for Us. This is why I always say to you, ‘Be attentive upon Our Will’: because there is much to do in It. The more you do, the greater the feast you make Us - and Our Volition will pour out in torrents, inside and outside of you.”

The Prevenient Act and the Actual Act

 May 27, 1922 The prevenient act and the actual act.  

I was thinking to myself: “If one act done in His Will is so great, how many of them, alas! do I not let escape?’ And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, there is the prevenient act and the actual act. The prevenient act is when the soul, from the first rising of the day, fixes her will in Mine, and decides and confirms that she wants to live and operate only in my Volition. She anticipates all of her acts and makes them all flow in my Will. With the prevenient will, my Sun rises, my Life remains duplicated in all her acts, as though in one single act; and this makes up for the actual act.  

However, the prevenient act can be shaded, obscured, by the human ways, by one’s own will, by self-esteem, by negligence and other things, which are like clouds before the sun, that render its light less vivid on the face of the earth. On the other hand, the actual act is not subject to clouds; on the contrary, it has the virtue of dispelling the clouds, if there are any, and it makes many other suns rise, in which my Life is duplicated, with such vividness of light and heat as to form as many new suns, one more beautiful than the other. However, both of them are necessary: the prevenient act gives the hand, disposes and forms the plane for the actual act; the actual act preserves and expands the plane of the prevenient.”

Scripture and Divine Will

 Mt. 25:1-10

[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. [2] And five of them were foolish, and five wise. [3] But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. [5] And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. 

[6] And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. [9] The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. 

Book of Heaven, Vol. 16, March 2, 1924:

“My daughter, there is nothing to be surprised about. In Me there was the Divinity with the unending light of Its Eternal Will. In this light I could see, very easily, each thought, word, heartbeat and act of creatures; and as I would think, the light which I contained brought my thought to each thought of creatures; and so with my word and with all the rest I did and suffered. See, the sun also possesses this virtue; its light is one, and yet, how many are not inundated by that light? If the whole interior of man could be seen – thoughts, heartbeats, affections – just as the sun invades everyone with its light, so would it make its light flow into each thought, heartbeat and the like. Now, if the light of the sun can do this, without the sun’s descending down below from up high to give its light and heat to each one - and yet, it is nothing other than the shadow of my light – much more can I do it, as I contain immense and endless light. Moreover, because my Divine Will contains this virtue, as the soul enters my Volition, she opens the current of the light which my Will contains, and my light, invading everyone, brings to each one the thought, the word, the act, which have entered the current of Its light. Therefore, there is nothing more sublime, more extensive, more divine, more holy than living in my Will – the generations of Its acts are incalculable. So, when the soul is not united with my Will nor enters into It, she neither does her little round, nor opens the current of Its unending light. Therefore, everything she does remains personal and individual; her good, her prayer, are like the little light which is used inside rooms, which has no virtue of giving light to all the storage places of the house, and even less can it give light outside; and if oil is lacking – that is, the continuation of her acts - the little light is extinguished and remains in the dark.”

Matthew 20:6-16

[6] But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? [7] They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard. [8] And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. [9] When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. [10] But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny. 

[11] And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, [12] Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. [13] But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? [14] Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee. [15] Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good? [16] So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

Book of Heaven, Vol. 16, March 2, 1924:

Then, I was fusing myself in the Eternal Divine Volition, placing myself ahead of everyone, in order to bring to the Divine Majesty, as first among all, all the acts of creatures, the return of everything, the love of creatures. But while I was doing this, I thought to myself: ‘How can it be that I can go ahead of everyone, while I was born after so many generations? At the most, I should place myself in the middle, between the past and the future generations which will come; or rather, because of my unworthiness, I should place myself last, and behind everyone.’ And my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, the whole Creation was created so that all would do my Will. The life of creatures was to flow within my Will like the blood flows in the veins. They were to live in It as my true children; nothing was to be foreign to them of all that belonged to Me. I was to be their tender and loving Father, and they were to be my tender and loving children. Now, since this was the purpose of Creation, even though there have been other generations before, this says nothing – they will be placed behind, and my Will will place as first the ones who will be and who have been faithful in maintaining intact the purpose for which they were created. These, whether they have come before or later, will occupy the first order before the Divinity. By having maintained the purpose of Creation, they will be distinguished among all and marked by the halo of Our Will as by a refulgent gem, and everyone will let them pass freely, so that they may occupy their first place of honor.”

Mt 25:19 For to everyone who has more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Book of Heaven, Vol. 19, Sept. 3, 1926:

“…the desire for a good, for knowing it, is like the appetite for food. When there is appetite, one feels the taste, eats with pleasure, remains satisfied and content with having taken that food, and is left with the desire to enjoy it again. On the other hand, if there is no appetite, that same food which is enjoyed so eagerly by someone, causes nausea and disgust to someone else who has no appetite, and he may reach the point of suffering because of it. Such is the desire for the soul - it is like appetite; and in seeing that the desire for my things is her delight, to the point of making of them her food and life, I abound – I abound so much in giving, that I never tire of giving. On the other hand, one who does not desire them, because the appetite is missing, will feel nausea for my things, and that Gospel saying will be repeated: ‘It will be given to one who has, while one who does not desire my goods, my truths, celestial things, will be deprived of the little he has’. Just penalty for one who does not desire, has no appetite for, and wants to know nothing about the things that belong to Me. And if he has any little thing at all, it is right that it be taken away from him and be given to those who possess much.”

Hebrews 12-14: But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, forever sitteth on the right hand of God.  From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool.  For by one oblation he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. (Douay-Rheims Bible)

“My daughter, courage, do not fear. I told you this, and I showed you how all of Heaven is bound to that Will of Mine which reigns in you, so that you may never surrender to your will, since the Divine Will and the human will are the fiercest enemies of each other.  And since the Divine Will is stronger, holier, more immense, it is convenient for the enemy – the human will – to be under It, at Its feet, and to serve as the footstool of the Divine Will.”  Vol. 17, May 21, 1925

Mt. 15:27:  And he (Jesus) answered:  “It is not fair to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs”  She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”  Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith!  Be it done for you as you desire”

“Only by possessing Our Will could the creature acquire the rights of communion, of likeness and of all the goods of his Creator. Without It there can be no communion with Us; and if he takes anything at all, it is just Our flowerings and the crumbs of Our endless goods.”  Vol. 19, Sept. 13, 1926

Divine Will and the Popes (a letter to a friend)

 Dear ,,,,,,,,,,

Please understand that the quotes from the Popes I have listed below are speaking about the fulfillment of the prayer that Jesus gave us – The Our Father (Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven).  It is not possible for me to quote from the 36 Volumes all that Our Lord says regarding this as there is so much I would have to write.  Below I have written just a few examples of what the Popes have said regarding this and the new era (the era of living in the Divine Will):

Saint Annibale Maria di Francia was the Extraordinary Confessor to the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarretta. He was founder of the Rogationists and Daughters of Divine Zeal.  In His Address to the Rogationist Fathers on the Centennial Anniversary of the Foundation of the Congregation of Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus, on May 16, 1997, Pope John Paul II said:

“The modern means that human sciences and contemporary technology make available and that you rightly try to use in your apostolic work will only be effective if they are sustained and guided by the original charismatic inspiration of the blessed founder, who saw in the "Rogate" the means God himself had provided to bring about that "new and divine" holiness with which the Holy Spirit wishes to enrich Christians at the dawn of the third millennium, in order to "make Christ the heart of the world".

On April 20, 2002, Pope John Paul II in addressing the youth at the Celebration of the World Day of Peace said, “On this important occasion, I would like to renew to you the appeal I made to all the young people at Tor Vergata; accept the commitment to be morning watchmen at the dawn of the new millennium.  This is a primary commitment, which keeps its validity and urgency as we begin this century with unfortunate dark clouds of violence and fear gathering on the horizon.  Today, more than ever, we need people who live holy lives, watchmen who proclaim to the world a new dawn of hope, brotherhood and peace.”  The following year, he said at the General Audience, “After purification through trial and suffering, the dawn of a new era is about to break.”

On July 7, 2010 Benedict XVI blessed a marble statue of St. Annibale Maria di Francia (1851-1927), founder of the Congregation of the Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus and of the Daughters of Divine Generosity. The statue is positioned in an external niche of the Vatican Basilica near the Arch of the Bells.

Luisa: “I was feeling very afflicted, not only because of the privations of my sweet Jesus, but also because I had received the unexpected news of the death of Reverend Father Di Francia. He was the only one left to me, to whom I could open my poor soul. How well he could understand me – it was to a saint that I would entrust myself, who had very much comprehended all the value of what Jesus had told me about the Divine Will. He had so much interest in it that, with insistence, he had taken all the writings with himself in order to publish them.”

Saint Annibale talks about the writings of the Book of Heaven: “They are writings that we must make known to the world.  I believe they would do much good.  Since this knowledge of the Divine Will is so sublime, these writings which come from celestial dictation will present it with great clarity.  In my opinion, no human intelligence could have created them.”

Pope Benedict XVI said in his Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est, when he affirmed:  “The love-story between God and man consists in the very fact that this communion of will increases in a communion of thought and sentiment, and thus our will and God’s will increasingly coincide:  God’s Will is no longer for me an alien will, something imposed on me from without by the commandments, but is now my own will, based on the realization that God is in fact more deeply present to me than I am to myself.”

In his General Audience on Feb. 1, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI spoke abut placing the human will within the Divine Will, “In Jesus’ prayer to the Father on that terrible and wondrous night of Gethsemane, earth became heaven; the earth of his human will, shaken by fear and anguish, was assumed by the divine will, so that the will of God might be accomplished on earth.”  He added that this is “important for our prayer as well.”  “Thus”, the Pope said, “Jesus tells us that  it is only in conforming one’s own will to the Divine Will that the human being attains his true greatness, that he becomes ‘divine’; it is only by going out of himself – only in his ‘yes’ to God – that the desire of Adam and of us all is fulfilled – that of being completely free.  This s what Jesus accomplishes in Gethsemane: by placing the human will within the Divine Will the true man is born, and we are redeemed.”

Pope St. Paul VI in his message Urbi et Obi, April 4, 1971 said: “The unity of the world will be.  The dignity of the human person shall be recognized not only formally but effectively.  The inviolability of life, from the womb to old age… Undue social inequalities will be overcome.  The relations between peoples will be peaceful, reasonable and fraternal. Neither selfishness, nor arrogance, nor poverty…(shall) prevent the establishment of a true human order, a common good, a new civilization.”

And this is from Pope Francis at the Angeles Address, Dec.1, 2013:  “But when will this occur?  What a beautiful day it shall be, when weapons are dismantled in order to be transformed into tools for work!  What a beautiful day that shall be!  And this is possible!  Let us bet on hope, on the hope for peace, and it will be possible!”

Pope Francis also writes in his book, “Our Father, Reflections on the Lords Prayer”, “The Kingdom of God is here and the Kingdom of God will come...The Kingdom of God is also hope; the Kingdom of God is coming now, but at the same time has not yet come completely.”

God bless you.
