Feast of Christ the King - Nov. 25, 2018

The Feast of Christ the King

Feast of Christ the King 2018: November 25, 2018

On the Feast of Christ the King in 1925, Our Lord tells Luisa:

“I come as a King to live among His people…My Heavenly Mama will be sure to be a Mother and Queen to you.  She is traveling amongst the people of the nations disposing and preparing them to receive the dominion of the Kingdom of My Will.  It was She who prepared the people for Me so that I could descend from Heaven to earth.  And now I am entrusting to Her, and to Her Maternal Love, the task of disposing the souls of our people to receive a Gift so great.”

Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King in 1925

Volume 6 - August 5, 1904

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, in the act of ruling and dominating everything, and of reigning with the crown of King on His head and with the scepter of command in His hand.  While I was seeing Him in this position, He told me (though in Latin, but I will say it according to what I understood):  “My daughter, I am the Ruler of kings and the Lord of lords.  To Me alone is this right of justice due, which the creature owes Me; and by not giving it to Me, she denies Me as Creator and Master of everything.”  While saying this, He seemed to take the world in His hand and turn it upside down, so that creatures would submit to His regime and dominion.  At the same time I could also see how the Lord ruled and dominated my soul, with such mastery that I felt all submerged in Him.  From Him came the regime of my mind, of my affections, of my desires; many electric wires passed between me and Him, through which He directed and dominated everything.

Volume  13 - November 19, 1921

Oh! Prodigies of my Will – who can ever number them and calculate their value?  This is why I love so much one who lives in my Will: I recognize my portrait in her, my noble features; I feel my own breath, my voice; and if I did not love her I would defraud Myself. I would be like a father without offspring, without the noble cortege of his court, and without the crown of his children. And if I did not have the offspring, the court and the crown, how could I call Myself a King? My Kingdom is formed by those who live in my Will, and from this Kingdom, I choose the Mother, the Queen, the children, the ministers, the army, the people. I am everything for them, and they are all for Me."…

Volume  15 - December 1, 1922
… when Pilate asked Me whether I was King, and I answered:
‘My Kingdom is not of this world, for if It were of this world, millions of legions of Angels would defend Me’.

 And Pilate, on seeing Me so poor, humiliated, despised, was surprised, and said with greater emphasis: ‘What? You are a King?’ And I, with firmness, answered him and all those who are in his position: ‘I am King, and I have come into the world to teach the truth. And the truth is that it is not positions, nor kingdoms, nor dignities, nor the right of command that make man reign, that ennoble him, that raise him above all. On the contrary, these things are slaveries, miseries, which make him serve vile passions and unjust men, making him also commit many unjust acts which disennoble him, cast him into mud, and draw the hatred of his subordinates upon him. So, riches are slaveries, positions are swords, by which many are killed or wounded.

True reigning is virtue, to be stripped of everything, to sacrifice oneself for all, to submit oneself to all. This is true reigning, which binds all, and makes one loved by all. Therefore, my Kingdom will have no end, while yours is near to perishing.’ And, in my Will, I made these words reach the ear of all those who are in positions of authority, to let them know the great danger they are in, and to put on guard those who aspire to positions, to dignities, to command."

The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will

Lesson of the Queen of Heaven:

 Now, dear child, listen to Me: in this house of Nazareth, the Kingdom of  the Divine Will was formed in your Mama and in the Humanity of my Son, to make of It a gift for the human family, when it would dispose itself to receive the good of this Kingdom. But even though my Son was King and I was Queen, We were King and Queen without a people. Our  Kingdom, even though  It could enclose all and give life to all, was deserted, because  Redemption was needed first, in  order to prepare and dispose man to come into this Kingdom, so holy. More  so, since It was  possessed by Me and by my Son, who belonged to the human family according  to the human order, as well as to the Divine Family by virtue of the Divine Fiat and of the Incarnate Word, and  therefore creatures received the right to enter into this Kingdom. And  the Divinity conceded this  right, and left the doors open to those who wanted to enter. So, our  hidden life of so many years  served to prepare the Kingdom of the Divine Will for creatures. This is  why I want to let you  know what this Supreme Fiat operated in Me, so that you may forget your will, and as you hold the hand of your Mama, I may lead you into the goods which I have prepared for you with so much love. Tell Me, child of my Heart, will you make Me content, and also your, and my, dear Jesus, who await you with so much love in this Kingdom so holy, to live together with Us, and to live only of Divine Will?

Letter of Luisa Piccarreta to Federico Abresch

Don’t you know that Redemption is preparation for the Kingdom of the Divine Will? And the Sacred Heart of Jesus is nothing other than the immense Reign of His Will. It is not the Heart that dominates; it is the Divine Will that dominates His Divine Heart. Poor Heart, if it did not have a Will to dominate it, it would be good at nothing. If the will is good, the heart is good; if the will is holy, the heart is holy. If our will gives place to the Divine, letting It raise Its throne in our will, the heart acquires the divine qualities by grace. Therefore, both in the Divine and in the human order, it is always the will that has the first place, the prime act, its rule. The heart and all the rest are in the secondary order...

Therefore, to say that the Heart reigns, if the Divine Will does not reign, is absurd. They can be called devotions, pious practices...; if the Divine Will does not reign, the Kingdom does not exist. It exists in Heaven, but has no place on earth. However, the Holy Church, organ and messenger of the Supreme Fiat, through the Sacred Heart, through the Celestial Mama, beseeches the Kingdom of the Divine Will. She does not say it with words, but says it with facts. The Divine Volition is the King – His Heart, His wounds, His precious Blood, the sweet Queen, form the ministers that surround the King, and through them beseech the Kingdom of the Divine Will in souls.

Now, how can one know It? All the necessary things, the different circumstances in which we may find ourselves, are Will of God for us. If we are really determined to live in It, God is so pleased that, if miracles are needed, He will make them in order not to let us use our will. It is up to us to truly decide, and be willing even to give our lives in order to live in It; and dear Jesus and the Sovereign Queen will take on the commitment, will be our sentries, and will surround us with such graces as to not let us be betrayed by our own wills. More so, since our Lord does not teach difficult things, nor does He impose them or want them, but He facilitates all that He wants from us in an admirable way; even more, He puts Himself in our place to make it easy for us, and does together with us all that He wants us to do.

CONSECRATION TO JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

Oh Jesus, King of kings, God of Goodness, God of Love, God of Mercy, I adore, I love, I thank, I glorify Your Most Holy Will emanating from Your Omnipotence, guided by Your Wisdom, accompanied by Your Goodness and Love.

Everywhere and in every time, be it either in joy or in pain, may Your Most Holy Will, Your Divine Love, be the star that I gaze at, the law that governs me, the air that I breathe, the heartbeat of my heart, the substance or, better, the Life of my life. To such an end, I unite all my prayers and actions to Yours, all my life to Yours, as well as to that of the Virgin Mother, of Saint Joseph and of all the Elect that have been, are now and shall ever be, with all good, past, present and future which is real and possible in Heaven and on earth.

I consecrate and give all myself, what I have, what I am, what pertains to me, what is dear to me, my life, my death, my eternity, all that You have created and will create by Your Supreme Volition, by Your Infinite Love.  And I pray You, oh Infinite Wisdom, to inscribe me with indelible characters in Your adorable Heart as the ardent and zealous child of Your Divine Volition, of Your pure Love. I make this donation in the Power of the Father, in the Wisdom of the Son, in the Virtue of the Holy Spirit, in my name, and in the name of all creatures to obtain the advent and the expansion of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, of Your Divine Love upon the earth. For pity's sake, oh my Lord, grant that from every lip and from every heart there may continually be raised, as from a sacred altar, the prayer that You, Yourself, as the first, addressed to the Father, "YOUR KINGDOM COME! YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."

Psalm 47

The Lord Jesus is King over all

All peoples, clap your hands,

cry to God with shouts of joy!

For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,

Great King over all the earth.

He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet.

Our inheritance, our glory, is from Him,

given to Jacob out of love.

God goes up with shouts of joy;

the Lord goes up with trumpet blast,

sing praise for God, sing praise,

sing praise to our King, sing praise.

God is King over all the earth.

Sing praise with all your skill.

God is King over the nations;

God reigns on His holy throne.

The princes of the peoples are assembled

with the people of Abraham’s God,

the rulers of the earth belong to God,

to God who reigns over all.

The Inner Cloister

The Inner Cloister

“The Holy Spirit wants to give Christians a ‘new and divine holiness’

at the Dawn of the Third Millennium” - Pope John Paul II

THE INNER CLOISTER

       In the Book of Heaven,  Jesus tells us of the souls that live in the celestial sea of the Supreme Volition, “These souls are the hidden inhabitants of the celestial waves which live for the honor and for the enrichment of the infinite sea of my Will.  And as fish are hidden imperceptibly in the sea to nourish man, so also do these souls remain hidden in the divine sea, silent, yet still forming my greater glory in creation.”  “For the souls that lives and works in my Will, I, more than a tender mother, hide it in my Will.”  Vol. 17, 8/9/24)

      “This is the beauty of the interior life of the soul: without speaking and without instruction, she ensures that nothing external either attracts her or disturbs her; that all her attraction and all her goods are enclosed within.”  (vol. 5, 6/30/1903)

      Luisa once was inside a garden where there were various rose bushes.  Some were beautifully in bloom, shaped just right, about half open.  Some of the other roses, however, were losing their petals; as soon as the gentlest breeze came along, they began shedding their petals until nothing but the stem was left.  She was told, “The first roses are those souls that act interiorly.  These roses display a beauty, a freshness, and a steadfastness that prevents any petal from falling to the earth.  Their half-closed petals are a symbol of the opening that the interior life of the soul makes to the external world. Having life within them, their works are perfumed with Holy Charity; like lights, they shine forth to God and to their neighbor.  The second roses are external souls: the little good that they do is done on the outside for all to see.  Their petals are fully opened; that is, they do not have God and His Love as their sole aim.  And where this does not exist, the petals (that is, the virtues) are weakly attached.  As soon as even a gentle breeze of pride comes along, the petals fall to the ground-likewise for pleasure, self-love and human respect.”  (vol. 5, 10/2/1903)

      “...to be able to rest in God, inner silence is necessary...”  “But what is this inner silence?  It is to silence our own passions by holding them in check; to impose silence on desires, inclinations and sentiments; in summary, on everything which does not call God.”  (vol. 3, 5/20/1900)

      “...in the interior souls there should not be disturbance.  And if it enters there, it is because they come out of themselves, and doing so, they act as executioners of themselves.  By going out of herself, the soul holds on to so many things that do not benefit her and that are not God, and sometimes, even things which do not look after the true well-being of the soul.  Wherefore, by returning to herself and carrying things which are extraneous, the soul tears herself from herself, and with that she comes to weaken herself and weaken Grace.  For this reason always stay in yourself, and you will always be calm.” (vol. 3, 8/31/1900)

        “...why are you looking for Me outside of yourself - as you could more easily find Me in yourself?  When you want to find Me, enter into yourself, reach into your nothingness....” (vol. 3, 8/3/1900)

        To Conchita (Ven. Maria Concepcion Cabrera de Armida), Jesus speaks of “the inner cloister”:

            “I want to make you a saint known to Me alone.  That is why I take care of you, advise you, direct you, watch over you...I want you to be a mirror of hidden virtues ...nothing external. “You are to live cloistered in the very inner sanctuary of your souls, for there is where dwells the Holy Spirit.  It is in this sanctuary you must live and die.  There are your delights, your consolations, your repose.  Do not look elsewhere for it.  You will never find it.”

            “From today on, enter into the innermost regions of your soul, into those areas so unknown to so many others, but where is found that happiness which I am.  Enter into it never to leave it.  And here is the path which will lead you there: the inner...”

            “Here is your cloister, your religious perfection.  It is not enough to immure your body, to be a nun....The ‘inner cloister’ is essential for the sanctification of the soul within to be all Mine.  You must never leave this inner sanctuary, even in the midst of your outside obligations.”

            “There, in this sanctuary, which no one sees, is found true virtue and consequently the contemplation of God and the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.”  (Conchita, A Mother’s Spiritual Diary, 8/15/1897)

            Mother Louise Margaret Claret de la Touche (1868-1915) spoke about the interior life in her book containing messages from Our Lord, “The Love and Service of God Infinite Love”.  She says, “The interior life does not consist, as some people wrongfully think, in the suppression of all activity; if that were so, it would be incompatible with good works, which are the fruit of charity.  The interior life can be established and maintained in the midst of the most exacting employments, and many Saints who have added luster to the Church have prove this by their lives which were filled with holy works and, which were at the same time, altogether interior.”  She goes on to say, “Let us unite ourselves with the Virgin Mary and, like her, completely recollected in our interior, let us seek Jesus, Who reposes there in silence and in peace.  Let us think of the sentiments of Mary, and like her, detaching our souls more and more from the exterior, passing things of time, let us live with the Divine Master that interior life which will be for us a prelude of the life of happiness in Heaven.”

St. Faustina was told by her confessor, “Let God push your boat out into the deep waters, toward the unfathomable depths of the interior life.”

            From the writings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort:  “Because Mary remained hidden during her life, she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church, Alma Mater, Mother hidden and unknown.  So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.”

            Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity speaks of interior silence saying, “It seems to me, that to keep one’s strength for the Lord is to unify one’s whole being by means of interior silence, to collect all one’s powers in order to employ them in the one work of love, to have this single eye which allows the light of God to enlighten us.  A soul that debates with itself, that is taken up with its feelings, and pursues useless thoughts and desires, scatters its forces, for it is not wholly directed toward God.  Its lyre does not vibrate in unison and when the Master plays it, He cannot draw from it divine harmonies, for it is still too human and discordant…How indispensable this beautiful inner unity is for the soul that wants to live here below the life of the blessed….”

Mt. 6:16:  “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Luke 17:20:  “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is’ or ‘there it is’.”

            Luke 2:19: “And Mary kept in mind all these things and pondered them in her heart.”

The Trumpet of the Divine Will

The Trumpet of the Divine Will

	Joshua 6:5 And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
	Joshua 6:20 So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city. (Joshua surrounded the city seven times, and when God told him to have the people blow the trumpets, the walls came down.   The trumpet - the knowledges given through Luisa in The Book of Heaven, the walls - sin that keeps us out of the Kingdom of the Divine Will)  LB

Book of Heaven, Volume 5, April 10, 1903

As I was in my usual state, I saw our Lord with a rod in His hand with which He touched the people.  As they were touched, they scattered and rebelled, and the Lord said to them:  “I have touched you to reunite you around Me, but instead of reuniting, you rebel and scatter away from Me, therefore it is necessary that I blow the trumpet.”  And while saying this, He began to blow the trumpet.  I understood that the Lord will send some chastisement, and men, instead of humbling themselves, will take the occasion to offend Him and to move away from Him; and on seeing this, the Lord will make the trumpet of more grave scourges resound.

"Be attentive, my daughter; you will be my spokesperson - the trumpet, to call them and to gather this generation, so beloved and longed for by Me."  Book of Heaven, Oct. 27, 1922

Book of Heaven, Volume 16, January 23, 1924

Each additional act of yours which you will braid with Our Fiat, will be a human kiss that you will have Our Fiat be given, a greater bond that you will form between the Divine Will and the human will, in such a way that, placed in accord, It may have no reluctance to making Itself known and taking Its royal dominion.  Everything is in making Itself known – the rest will come by itself.  This is why many times I have recommended to you that you omit to write nothing of what regards my Will – because knowledge is the way, and its light serves as trumpet to call those who are listening, to make itself heard; and the more the trumpet sounds – and it sounds more for as many more knowledges as it has, to be manifested – the more people will rush up.  Knowledge takes the attitude now of pulpit, now of teacher, now of compassionate father and excessive lover; in sum, it has all the ways in its power in order to enter the hearts, to conquer them and to triumph in everything.  And the more knowledges it contains, the more ways it has in its power.”

Book of Heaven, Volume 19, August 4, 1926

"First I make the preparations, I form in you all the properties of It, and then I speak to you, so that, by feeling Its properties within yourself, you may be the spokesperson of my Will, the crier of It, Its telegraph and the little trumpet which, with a shrill sound, may call the attention of those passing by to listen to you.  The teachings I give you about the Kingdom of my Will will be like many electric wires, which are such that, when the appropriate communications are established and the necessary preparations are made, a single wire is enough to give light to entire cities and provinces.  The power of the electricity, with rapidity greater than that of the wind, gives light to public and private places.  The teachings about my Will will be the wires; the power of the electricity will be the Fiat Itself which, with enchanting rapidity, will form the light that will cast away the night of the human will, the darkness of passions.  Oh, how beautiful the light of my Will will be!  In seeing it, creatures will dispose the devices in their souls in order to connect the wires of the teachings, so as to enjoy and receive the power of the light that the electricity of my Supreme Will contains.  Do you want to see what will happen?  Look:  I take one wire of my teachings linked to your soul, and you emit your voice within the wire.  Say:  ‘I love You, I adore You, I bless You…’ – whatever you want to say, and be attentive on looking.”

Book of Heaven, January 10, 1926

"It happens to my Will as to an actor who must present his show to the audience. Poor one! How many hidden works, how many vigils, how many preparations; how much art does he not prepare even in his movements so that his postures may make the audience, now smile, now cry! In all this crafting, the actor does not make feast; on the contrary, he sweats, toils and labors. And when everything seems to be prepared, he prepares himself to call the public to see his show; and the more people he sees, the more he feels joy arise in his heart, for, who knows, he might be able to make a beautiful feast. But the true fulfillment of his feast is when, the show having been performed, full-handed, he feels coins of gold and silver flow in his hands, as appreciation and triumph of his show. But if after so many preparations, he sets everything up, he plays and plays toy trumpets, but nobody shows up, or just a few people who leave him alone at the first acts of the show – poor one, how he suffers, and the hope of his feast turns into mourning. Who is it that so much embittered that poor actor, so capable and kind in performing his scenes? Ah! the ungrateful people, who did not even want to be spectators of the scenes of that poor actor."

  

Book of Heaven, July 27, 1929

"My Gospel can be called vowels, consonants which, acting as trumpeters, called the attention of the peoples to await some more important lessons which were to bring them a good greater than Redemption Itself. My very pains, my death and my Resurrection, confirmation of Redemption, are preparation for the Kingdom of my Divine Will. They were lessons more sublime, and made everyone stand at attention, awaiting yet higher lessons. And this I have already done, after so many centuries – which are the many manifestations I have made to you about my Divine Will, and that which I have made known to you more: how It wants to come to reign in the midst of creatures, to give back to them the right of Its Kingdom which they had lost, to lavish upon them all the goods and all the happinesses It possesses. " 

Book of Heaven, August 7, 1929

“My daughter, the principal means in order to make my Divine Fiat reign upon earth are the knowledges about It. The knowledges will form the ways, will dispose the earth to become Its Kingdom; they will form the cities, will act as telegraphs, as telephone, as postal service, as trumpeters, in order to communicate, city to city, creature to creature, nation to nation, the news, the important knowledges about my Divine Will. And the knowledges about It will cast into the hearts the hope, the desire to receive a good so great."  

Exodus 19:16 And now the third day (the Third Era – the Era of the Divine Will) was come, and the morning appeared: and behold thunders began to be heard, and lightning to flash, and a very thick cloud to cover the mount, and the noise of the trumpet sounded exceeding loud, and the people that was in the camp, feared.

Isaias (Isaiah) 27:13 And it shall come to pass, that in that day a noise shall be made with a great trumpet, and they that were lost, shall come from the land of the Assyrians, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall adore the Lord in the holy mount in Jerusalem Rev. 11:15 – The Seventh Trumpet And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen. (The Seventh Trumpet - the coming of God's Kingdom - Victory over evil - The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of  Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary) Lynne Bauer, JMJ June, 2018
