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.
