Adoration
Volume 6 - December 17, 1903
The adoration that the Most Holy Virgin
did when She encountered Jesus carrying the Cross. The true spirit of
adoration.
Continuing in my usual state, for a few instants I saw
blessed Jesus with the Cross on His shoulders, in the act of encountering His
Most Holy Mother; and I said to Him: ‘Lord, what did your Mother do in
this most sorrowful encounter?’
And He: “My daughter, She did nothing but a most profound and simple act of adoration.
And since the simpler the act, the more easily it unites with God, Most
Simple Spirit, in this act She infused
Herself in Me and continued what I Myself was doing in my interior.
This was immensely pleasing to Me, more than if She had done any other greater
thing. In fact, the true spirit of
adoration consists in this: the creature dissolves herself and finds
herself in the divine sphere; she adores all that God does, and she unites with
Him. Do you think that when the mouth adores but the mind is
somewhere else, it is true adoration? That is, the mind adores but the
will is far away from Me? Or, one power adores Me, and the others are all
disordered? No, I want everything for Myself, and everything I have given
her, in Me. This is the greatest act of cult, of adoration, that the
creature can do for Me.”
Volume 12 - July 2, 1918
As the soul abandons herself in Jesus,
He abandons Himself in the soul.
I was saying to my beloved Jesus: ‘Jesus, I love You, but my love is small; so
I love You in your Love, to make it big. I want to adore You with your adorations, pray
in your prayer, thank You in your thankgivings.’ Now, while I was saying this, my lovable
Jesus told me: “My daughter, as you
placed your love in Mine in order to love Me, your love remained fixed in Mine,
and it became longer and larger within Mine - and I felt I was being loved the
way I would want the creature to love Me.
And as you adored in my
adorations, and prayed, and thanked, these remained fixed in Me - and I felt I
was being adored, prayed and thanked with my adorations, prayers and
thankgivings. Ah, my daughter, great
abandonment in Me is needed! As the
soul abandons herself in Me, I abandon Myself in her; and filling her with
Myself, I Myself do all that she must do for Me. But if she does not abandon herself, all that
she does remains fixed in her, not in Me, and I feel the work of the creature
as full of imperfections and miseries - which cannot please Me.”
Volume 12 - February 10, 1919
Jesus asks Luisa whether she wants to
live in His Will; whether she wants to accept the office of second link with
His Humanity, and whether she wants to accept His Love as her own, and His Will
as Life.
Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus
came, and taking my hands in His own, He
held them tightly, and with a majestic affability said to me: “My daughter, tell Me, do you want to live in
my Will? Do you want to accept the
office of second link with my Humanity?
Do you want to accept all my Love as your own, my Will as Life, and the
very pains which the Divinity inflicted on my Humanity - which were so many
that my Love feels the irresistible need not only to make them known, but to
share them - as much as it is possible for a creature? I can share them and make them known only to
one who lives in my Will – all at the expense of my Love. My daughter, it is my usual way to ask for the ‘yes’ of the creature, to then
operate freely with her.”
Jesus
remained silent, as if He was waiting for my “FIAT”. I was
surprised, and I said: ‘My life, Jesus,
your Will is mine. You, yourself, unite
them together and form one single FIAT, so I will say “yes” together with
You. I beg You to have mercy on me; my
misery is great, and only because You want it, I say: “FIAT, FIAT”.’ But – oh!, how annihilated and pulverized I
felt in the abyss of my nothingness; more so, since this nothing was called to
live in the All.
So, my sweet Jesus united the two wills together and
impressed a FIAT. My “yes” entered into the Divine Volition, and it seemed to be not a human,
but a Divine “yes”, because it had been pronounced in the Will of Jesus. This “yes” in the Divine Will multiplied into
many, for as many refusals as the creatures gave to my sweet Jesus; it made the
most solemn reparations and embraced everyone, as though wanting to bring
everyone to Jesus, substituting for all.
It was a “yes” which had the seal and the power of the Divine Volition,
pronounced not out of fear, nor for interest of personal sanctity, but only to
live in the Will of Jesus, to run for the good of all, and to bring to Jesus
divine glory, love and reparations. My
lovable Jesus seemed so happy with my “yes” that He said to me: “Now I want to adorn you and clothe you like
Me, so that you may come with Me before the Majesty of the Eternal One, to
repeat my own office.” So, Jesus clothed
me, as though identifying me with His Humanity, and we found ourselves together
before the Supreme Majesty. I don’t know
how to say it… this Majesty was an inaccessible, immense, varied Light of
incomprehensible beauty, on which everything was dependent. I remained dissolved in It, and even the
Humanity of Jesus was little. Just to
enter the air of this Light was delightful, embellishing... But I don't know
how to go on to explain.
My sweet Jesus said:
“Adore the Uncreated Power
together with Me in the immensity of my Will, so that not I alone, but also
another creature may adore in a divine manner, and in the name of all her
brothers of the generations of all centuries, the One Who created everything - on
Whom all things are dependent.”
How beautiful it was to adore together with
Jesus! We multiplied ourselves for all;
we placed ourselves before the Throne of the Eternal One, as though to defend
Him from those who would not recognize the Eternal Majesty, or would even
insult It, and we ran for the good of all to make It known. We did other acts, Jesus and I together, but
I feel that I don’t know how to go on.
My mind wavers and cannot lend me the right words; therefore I will not
go on. If Jesus wants, I will come back
to this point. Then, my sweet Jesus
brought me back into myself; but my mind remained bound to an eternal point
from which it could not move... Jesus! Jesus, help me to correspond to your
graces! Help your little daughter, help
the little spark!
Volume 12 - February 20, 1919
In each created thing God placed a
relation, a channel of Graces, a special Love between the Supreme Majesty and
the creature. Luisa is called to give
God homage for each thing in the name of all.
Continuing in my usual state, I spent it with my sweet
Jesus. He made Himself seen, now as
Baby, now Crucified; and transforming me in Him, He told me: “My daughter, enter into Me - into my Divinity,
and run in my Eternal Will. In It you
will find the Creative Power as though in the act of delivering the machine of
the entire Universe. In each thing I
created I placed a relation, a channel of graces, a special love between the
Supreme Majesty and the creature. But
the creature would not consider these relations, these graces, this love. Therefore, God should have suspended the Creation, which was not recognized nor
appreciated. But in seeing my Humanity,
which would appreciate it so well, and which, for each created thing, would
have Its relations with the Eternal One - recognizing Him, loving Him, not only
for Itself, but for the whole human family - He did not look at the wrong of
His other children, and with highest contentment, extended the heavens, dotting
them with stars, knowing that those stars would be many and varied relations,
innumerable graces, rivers of love, which would flow between my Humanity and
the Supreme Being.
The Eternal One looked at the heavens and remained
content in seeing the immense harmonies, the communications of love which He
had opened between Heaven and earth.
Therefore, He moved forward, and with one single creative word He
created the Sun, as the continuous relater of His Supreme Being, providing it
with light and heat, placing it suspended between Heaven and earth, in the act
of holding everything, of fecundating, warming and illuminating
everything. With Its searching look of
light, It seems to say to everyone: ‘I am the most perfect preacher of the
Divine Being. Reflect yourselves in me,
and you will recognize Him. He is immense
Light, He is endless Love, He gives life to everything, He needs nothing;
nobody can touch Him. Look well at me,
and you will recognize Him. I am His
shadow, the reflection of His majesty, His continuous relater...’
Oh, what oceans of love and relations opened between
my Humanity and the Supreme Majesty! So,
everything you see, even the most tiny little flower in the field, was one more
relation between creature and Creator.
Therefore, it was right that He demanded recognition - one more love
from the creatures. I undertook
everything; I recognized Him, and I adored the Creative Power for all. But my love toward so much Goodness is not
content.
I would like other creatures to recognize, love and adore this Creative
Power and - as much as it is possible for creature - take part in these
relations which the Eternal One has spread through the whole world, rendering
homage to this act of Creation of the Eternal One in the name of all.
But do you
know who can render this homage? The
souls who live in my Will. As soon as they enter It, they find all the
acts of the Supreme Majesty as though in act; and since this Will is in
everything and in everyone, they remain multiplied in everything, and are able
to render honor, glory, adoration and love for all. Therefore, come into my Will, come with Me
before the Divine Height, to be the first one to give homage to the Creator of
all.”
I am unable to say how, I entered this Divine
Volition, but always together with my sweet Jesus, and I saw this Supreme
Majesty in the act of delivering the entire Creation. Oh God, what love! Each created thing received the mark of love,
the key of communication, the mute language to eloquently speak of God. But to who?
To the ungrateful creature.
I don’t know how to continue to explain. My little intelligence was lost in seeing the
many openings of communication, the immense love which came from them - and the
creature, who rendered all these goods as though extraneous... Then, together with Jesus, multiplying ourselves
in everyone, we adored, thanked and recognized the Creative Power in the name
of all; and the Eternal One received the glory of Creation. Jesus disappeared, and I returned into
myself.
Volume 16 - May 13, 1924
True adoration consists in the complete
accord of the union of the Will of God with the soul. The true and
perfect model of adoration is the Most Holy Trinity. One flight of the
soul in the Divine Will is enough for Jesus to fill all her involuntary voids
of love.
“My daughter, true
and perfect adoration is in the complete accord of the union of the Will of God
with the soul. The more the soul makes her will one with that of her
Creator, the more complete and perfect her adoration is. And if the
human will is not one with the Divine - even more, if it is far away from God -
it cannot be called adoration, but shadow, or colorless shade, which leaves not
even a trace. And if the human will is not disposed to receive the kiss
of the union of the Supreme Will, instead of adoration, it can be insult and
scorn. The first act of adoration
is to recognize the Will of her Creator in order to do it; if this is not
there, she adores with words, but in fact she insults and offends. And
if you want to know the true and perfect model of adoration, come with Me into
the midst of the Three Divine Persons.”
I don’t know how, Jesus clasped me more tightly and
raised me higher, into the midst of an unending light. I felt myself
being annihilated, but my annihilation was overtaken by a Divine Life, which
unleashed from Itself many different shades of beauty, of sanctity, of light,
of goodness, of peace, of love, etc.; in such a way that my nothingness was
transformed by those divine shades, to the point of no longer being recognized
and of enamoring the very One who had so much embellished me. And my
sweet Jesus resumed His speaking: “See, my daughter, the primary act of
the Divine Persons is the perfect accord of Our Will. Our Will is so
unified that Will of One cannot be distinguished from That of the Other; so
much so, that even though Our Persons are distinct – We are Three – Our Will is
One, and this One Will produces a
continuous act of perfect adoration among the Divine Persons – One adores the
Other. This accord of Will produces equality of sanctity, of light,
of goodness, of beauty, of power, of love, and establishes in Us the true reign
of order and of peace, giving Us immense joys and happinesses, and infinite
beatitudes. So, the accord of the human will with the Divine is the first
link of connection between Creator and creature; and from it, the divine
virtues descend into her as within a channel, producing in her true adoration
and perfect love for her Creator. And rising from within that same
channel of connection, she receives the different shades of the divine
qualities; and every time the soul rises in order to dive into this eternal
Will, she is embellished by, and acquires, as many more varieties of divine
beauty.
This is why I say that the soul who does my Will is my
amusement and my contentment. And in order to amuse Myself, I keep the
brush of my Will in my hands, and as she dives into my Will, I touch her up and
I amuse Myself by impressing on her, with a brush stroke of mine, one more
shade of my beauty, of my love, of my sanctity, and of all my qualities.
So, for Me, being in her and being in Heaven are the same - I find the same
adoration of the Divine Persons, my Will, my love. And since there is
always something that can be given to the creature, I act now as a skillful
painter, and I portray my image in her; now as a teacher, and I teach her the
highest and most sublime doctrines; now as a passionate lover, giving and
wanting love. In sum, I use and perform all my arts to amuse Myself with
her. And when my love, offended by creatures, finds no place in which to
take refuge, in which to find escape from those who chase Me to give Me death
or force Me to set off to the vault of the Heavens – I take refuge in the soul
who contains my Will within herself, and there I find my power that defends Me,
my love that loves Me, my peace that gives Me rest; I find everything I
want. Therefore, my Will connects everything together – Heaven and earth,
and all goods – and It makes them one; and from this alone derive all possible
and imaginable goods. So, I can say that the soul who does my Will is the
all for Me, and that I am the all for her.”
Volume 17 - October 2, 1924
Effects of the adoration done in the
Divine Will, with the power of the Father, the wisdom of the Son, and the love
of the Holy Spirit.
“Daughter of Our Eternal Will, prostrate yourself before Our Supreme Majesty and
offer your adorations, your homages, your praises, in the name of all, with the
power of Our Will, with the wisdom and with the Will of Our supreme love.
We will feel in you the power of Our Will adoring Us, the wisdom of Our Will
glorifying Us, the love of Our Will loving Us and praising Us. And
since the power, the wisdom and the love of the Three Divine Persons are in
communication with the intellect, the memory and the will of all creatures, We
will feel your adorations, homages and praises flow within all the
intelligences of creatures, which, rising between Heaven and earth, will make
Us hear the echo of Our own power, wisdom and love, adoring Us, praising Us and
loving Us. Greater adorations, more noble homages, love and praises more
divine, you cannot give Us. No other act can equal these acts, or give Us
as much glory and as much love, because We see, hovering within the act of the
creature, the power, the wisdom and the reciprocal love of the Three Divine
Persons - We find Our own acts in the act of the creature. How not to
enjoy them and not to give them supremacy over all other acts?” So I
prostrated myself before the Supreme Majesty, adoring It, praising It and
loving It in the name of all, with the power, the wisdom and the love of Their
Will, which I felt within me. But who can say the effects of this?
I have no words to express them, therefore I move on.
Volume 26 - April 12, 1929
The Creation, act of profound adoration
of the Divine Trinity.
I was all abandoned in the Divine Fiat; Its light
eclipsed my littleness and transported me up there, even into the womb of the Eternal One, where nothing but Light,
Sanctity, Beauty could be seen, which infused in me profound adoration, such
that I felt my little existence changed into one single act of adoration for
that God who so much loved me and loves me.
Then, while my mind was wandering within the light of the Divine
Volition, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, the Sanctity of Our Divine
Being, the one Power of Our Will with which We are invested - in such a way
that, even though We are distinct as Persons, yet Our Will which operates in
Us, which dominates, which rules, is always one - Our equal, reciprocal and
incessant Love, produce[1] in Us the most
profound adoration among the Divine Persons.
So, everything that comes out of
Us is but acts of profound adoration of all Our Divine Being.
Therefore, when Our Divine Fiat wanted to issue the
whole Creation into the field with Its creating, operating and vivifying Power,
as Our Fiat was being pronounced, We kept issuing from within Ourselves acts of
profound adoration. So, the heavens are nothing other than an act
of profound adoration of the immensity of Our Divine Being, and therefore
everywhere one can see heavens, both at night and at daytime. The immensity of Our Being released from Our
womb the immensity of Our adoration, and extended the starry heavens over the
universe, to call all those who would inhabit the earth in Our one Will, so as
to unify them within the immensity of Our adoration, in such a way that, by
virtue of Our Fiat, man was to extend himself within the immensity of his
Creator, to form his heaven of profound adoration for the One who had created
him. The sun is an act of adoration of
Our endless light, and the ardor of its adoration is such and so great, that it
is not content with letting itself be seen up high, under the vault of the
heavens, but from the center of its sphere it lowers its rays down to the level
of the earth. Molding and touching
everything with its hands of light, it invests everything and everyone with its
adoration of light, and it calls plants, flowers, trees, birds and creatures to
form one single adoration in the Will of the One who created them. The sea, the air, the wind and all created
things, are nothing other than acts of profound adoration of Our Divine Being,
which, some from afar, some from nearby, call the creature into the unity of
Our Fiat, to repeat the profound acts of Our adoration; and as she makes what
is Ours her own, she can give Us the sun, the wind, the sea, the flowery earth,
as profound adorations which Our one Will knows how to, and can produce in the
creature. What can Our Fiat not
do? With Its one strength It can do
anything, It unites everything, It keeps everything in act, and It unites
Heaven and earth, Creator and creature, making them one.”
Having said this, He withdrew into the depth of His
light, and He kept silent; and I remained there, continuing my round in the
Creation, to follow that profound adoration of my Creator in all created
things. Oh! how one could feel the
fragrance of the divine adoration in each created thing. One could touch with one’s own hand Their
adored breath; one could feel in the wind the penetrating, ruling adoration of
Our Creator, which, investing the whole earth, now with light blowing, now with
mighty waves, now with caressing breaths, invests us so much and calls us to
the adoration of its Creator which the wind possesses. Who can tell of the strength of the
wind? In a few minutes, it goes around
the entire world, and now with empire, now with moans, now with feeble voice,
and now screaming, it invests us and calls us to unite ourselves to that divine
adoration which it gives to its Creator.
Then, continuing my round, I could see the sea. In those crystal clear waters, in that
continuous murmuring, in its gigantic waves, Jesus was saying that that sea was
nothing other than an act of profound adoration of the divine purity, adoration
of Their love which murmurs continuously, and, in the waves, adoration of the
divine strength which moves everything and everyone like light straw. Oh! if
the Divine Fiat were reigning in the creatures, It would let everyone read, in
each created thing, the distinct adoration of Our Creator which each thing
possesses; and as It would unify us with all Creation, one would be the
adoration, one the love, one the glory for the Supreme Being. Oh! Divine Will, come to reign, and make it so
that the Will of all be one.
