"It is as a grain of mustard
seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that
are in the earth:" Mark 4:31
“It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden,
and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the
branches thereof." Luke 13:9
“He who sows the good seed is the
Son of man; the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the
kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed
them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are
angels. Just as the weeds are
gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels and
they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,
and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash
their teeth. Then the righteous will
shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Mt. 13:38-43

Jesus to Luisa:
“Listen, I went around the earth over and over again; I looked at all
creatures, one by one, in order to find the littlest of all. Among many
I found you – the littlest of all.”

“Whatever one does for God
is never lost; rather, the seed is formed, which, in sprouting, makes Life
be born again, more flourishing, strong and beautiful. Everything you
have done, both for yourself and for others, is seeds that you have formed –
seeds which make the Life of the Divine Will be born again. However,
our cooperation is needed – our repeated acts in the Fiat, which like
beneficial water, water the seed in order to form the life. And once the
life has been formed, it takes our will united with His to make it grow; it
takes our continuous love in order to nourish it. Therefore, nothing is
lost for us if we really want to live from the Divine Will. This Life
exists within us, it did not escape; however, one must not abandon it, but make
it grow and nourish it. The trouble is, rather, for those who have not yet
known it, because knowledge is necessary in order to possess.”
(from the Letters of Luisa, #69)
Aug. 19, 1900 - “Do not want to meddle in other people’s
business; let us leave them alone, because everything has its time. When the
time of judgment comes, then will be the time to discern all things, which will
be sifted well, so that one will come to recognize the grain, the straws and
the sterile and noxious seeds. Oh, how many things that appear to be
grain will be found straws and sterile seeds on that day, worthy only of being
thrown into the fire!”
Jan. 28, 1905 - “My daughter, the cross is seed of virtue, and
just as one who sows harvests for ten, twenty, thirty, and even one hundred -
in the same way, the cross, being seed, multiplies virtues and perfections, and
it embellishes them in an admirable way. So, the more crosses thicken around
you, the more seeds of virtue are sown into your soul. Therefore, instead of
afflicting yourself when a new cross comes to you, you should rejoice, thinking
that you are acquiring another seed, with which you can enrich, and even
complete, your crown.”
October 28, 1915 - This morning, my always lovable Jesus, on
coming, told me: “My daughter, my life on earth was nothing but seeds
sown, which my children will harvest, as long as they remain on the same land
in which I sowed these seeds. And according
to their attitude for harvesting, my seeds will produce their fruits. Now,
these seeds are my works, words, thoughts, and even my breaths, etc.; and if
the soul harvests them all, making them her own, she will be enriched in such a
way as to purchase the Kingdom of Heaven. But if she does not, these seeds
will serve as her condemnation.”
Dec. 10, 1921 - As I was in my usual state, my always lovable
Jesus came, telling me: “My daughter, how great is an act done in my Will.
See, if you asked the sun: ‘How many seeds have you fecundated, how many of
them have you multiplied from the moment you rose above our horizon?’; neither
the sun, nor any other creature, as learned as he might be, would be able to
tell you, even with an approximate number, either how many seeds it fecundated
or how many of them it multiplied.
Now, an act done in my Will is more than sun, which multiplies,
not human, but divine seeds, to infinity. Oh! how
greatly it surpasses the fecundity and the multiplicity of the seeds which the
sun has fecundated. An innovation in the spiritual world takes place - such a
harmony, that all are attracted. In hearing this harmony, those who are most
disposed get warm; thousands and thousands of effects arise like many seeds; and
since the act done in my Will carries with itself the creative power, it
fecundates those seeds in a way which is incalculable to the finite mind. So,
the acts done in my Will are divine seeds which carry with themselves the
creative power, and which, more than suns, not only fecundate, but create
seeds, and multiply them to infinity. They give Me the field for new creations,
set my power in motion, and are the bearers of the Divine Life.”
January 25, 1922 - As I was in my usual state, my always lovable
Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, the more truths I manifest to you,
the more specialties of beatitudes I give to you as gift. Each truth contains
within itself a distinct beatitude, happiness, joy and beauty; so, each
additional truth you know brings beatitude, happiness, joy, beauty into
yourself, with which you remain enriched. These are divine seeds that the
soul receives, and by manifesting them to others, she communicates these seeds
and enriches whomever receives them. Now, since the truths that one has
known on earth are divine seeds which sprout with beatitudes, joy, etc. in
Heaven, when the soul is in her Fatherland they will be electric wires of
communication through which the Divinity will unleash from Its womb so many
acts of beatitude for as many truths as she has known. Oh! how she will remain
inundated by them, as though by many different immense seas. She already has
the seed, and by having the seed, she has the void in which to be able to
receive these immense seas of happiness, of joy and of beauty. One who does not
have the seed, who has not known a truth while on earth, lacks the void in
order to be able to receive these beatitudes.”
Feb. 21, 1922 – “This is
precisely the virtue of my Love: to make Me die and, from my consummation, form
many seeds, to place them in the hearts of all creatures, so as to make Me rise
again and form with them one single life with Me.”
March 3, 1922 - “My daughter, now it is appropriate that I set
to work again, to work the soil of your soul, so as to be able to sow the seed
of my word in order to nourish you. I act like a farmer when he wants to sow in
his field: he forms little trenches, makes some furrows, and then sows in them
the seeds, and again he covers with earth the little trenches and the furrows
in which he has sown the seeds, so as to keep them sheltered and give them the
time to germinate, to then harvest them increased a hundredfold, to make of
them his food. But he is careful not to put too much earth over them, otherwise
he would suffocate his seeds and would make them die under the earth, and he
would run the risk of remaining on an empty stomach. Now, so I do: I prepare
the little trenches, I form the furrows, I enlarge the capacity of her
intelligence to be able to sow my divine word, and therefore form the food for
Me and for her; then I cover the little trenches and the furrows with earth -
which is humility, nothingness, the annihilation of the soul, some little
weakness or misery of hers. This is earth, and it is necessary that I take it
from her because I lack this earth; and so I cover everything and I wait with
joy for my harvest. Now, do you want to know when too much earth is placed
over my seed? When the soul feels her miseries, her weaknesses, her
nothingness, and she afflicts herself. She thinks about it so much as to waste
time; and the enemy uses this in order to cast her into disturbance,
discouragement and despondency. This is all earth in excess over my seed. Oh!
how my seed feels itself dying – how it struggles to germinate under this earth.
Many times these souls tire the Celestial Farmer, and He withdraws. Oh! how
many are the souls such as these.” And I: ‘My Love, am I one of these?’ And
He: “No, no - one who does my Will is not subject to forming earth that
suffocates my seed; rather, many times I find not even humility, but only
their nothingness, which produces little earth, and I can only place one layer
of it over my seed. And the Sun of my Will quickly fecundates it; and it
germinates, and I make great harvests, to then quickly return to sow my seed
again. And besides, you can be sure of this; don’t you see how so very often I
return to sow new seeds of truths into your soul?”
Sept. 20, 1922 – “And if the soul did not have the seeds of all
goods, she could not receive the goods which my Will contains. And if - may
this never be - she had some seeds that are not good, she would be an intruder,
without nobility and decorum. Therefore, she herself, feeling ashamed, would go
out of It, nor would she get any taste and contentment, keeping within herself
things which are extraneous to my Will. This is why I have marked even the
drops of your blood, your bones, your heartbeats; and the marks are these eyes
of light, so that nothing - nothing may come out of you which is not holy, and
which is not directed to Me.”
June 18, 1925 – “The
seed sowed by the sower under the earth wants its return: that the seed
generate more seeds - ten, twenty, thirty times more. The tree
planted by the farmer wants the return of the generation and multiplication of
the fruits. The water drawn from the fount gives the return of quenching one’s
thirst, of washing and cleaning the one who has drawn it. The fire that is lit
gives the return of warming. In the same way, all the other things created by
God, who has the power to generate, contain the virtue of regeneration; they
multiply and give their return. Now, is only this Will of Ours, which came out
of Us with so much love, with so many manifestations and with so many
continuous acts, to remain without Its return of the regeneration of other
human wills into Divine? A seed gives more seeds, a fruit generates another
fruit, man generates another man, a teacher forms another teacher. Is Our Will
alone, powerful as It is, to remain isolated, without return and without
generating Our Will in the human will? Ah! no, no - this is impossible. Our
Will will have Its return; It will have Its divine generation in the human
will; more so, since this was Our first act for which all things were created –
that Our Will transform and regenerate the human will into Divine. Will is what
came out of Us – will is what we want. All other things were done in the
secondary order, while this was done, established, in the primary order of
Creation.”
Aug. 2, 1925 - “My
daughter, come with Me to work in this garden. We must plant in it celestial
and divine flowers and fruits. It is now almost empty, and if there is any
plant at all, it is terrestrial and human; therefore, we have to root them out,
so that this garden may be fully pleasing to my Son Jesus. The seeds which
we must plant are all my virtues, my works, my pains, which contain the seed of
the Fiat Voluntas Tua. There was nothing I did which did not contain this seed
of the Will of God. I would have contented Myself with doing nothing,
rather than operating or suffering without this seed. All my glory, the
dignity of Mother, the height of Queen, the supremacy over all, came to Me from
this seed. The whole of Creation, all beings, recognized Me as dominating
over them, because they saw in Me, reigning, the Supreme Will. Therefore, we
will unite everything I did together with everything you have done with this
seed of the Supreme Volition, and we will plant it in this garden. So, we fused
the seeds which my Celestial Mama had, which were many, together with the few
mine, which I don’t know how I found; and we began to form little holes in
which to place the seeds.”
Dec. 25, 1927 – “Now, one who has sowed has the right to
harvest; and since it is a divine field, I am the owner of it - not only to
harvest, but to sow it again. So, I am doing nothing other than sowing it
again. Don’t you see how I am all intent on the work of sowing seeds of light
into this field, so that, as they germinate, the new suns of the knowledges on
my Will may come out? And work brings silence, and my silence is warmth,
maturation and fecundity, in order to transform the little seeds of light into
more refulgent suns. I work in you always, either in one way or in another; the
work of my Divine Will is long, and therefore I am always occupied and I keep
you occupied.”
June 25, 1928 – “As man withdrew from my Will, his lot changed;
and I wanted to go into the desert in order to call back the blessings of my
Celestial Father and, by calling my Will to reign, restore the earth, populate
it everywhere and fecundate it, in such a way that the earth will produce more
seeds, and more beautiful ones, such as to increase it a hundredfold, rendering
it more fecund and of radiant beauty. How many great things will do the Kingdom
of my Divine Fiat! So much so, that all the elements are all in waiting – the
Sun, the wind, the sea, the earth and the whole Creation – to deliver from
their womb all the goods and effects which they contain. In fact, since the
Divine Will that dominates them does not reign in the midst of creatures, they
do not put out all the goods which they enclose within them, giving them only
what they have to as alms, and as to servants. So, the earth has not produced
all the seeds; the Sun, not finding all the seeds, does not produce all the
effects and goods It contains; and so with all the rest. This is why all await
the Kingdom of the Fiat – to show creatures how rich they are, and how many
admirable things the Creator has placed in them for love of the ones who were
to be the children of His Will.”
Sept. 8, 1929 The Birth of the Virgin - “This Celestial Baby
Girl, by keeping Our Divine Will intact within Her soul, without ever doing Her
own, reacquired all the rights of Adam innocent before Her Creator, and the
sovereignty over all Creation. Therefore, all felt themselves being reborn in
Her, and We saw in this Holy Virgin, in Her little Heart, all the seeds of
the human generations. So, through Her, humanity reacquired the rights
lost, and this is why Her birth was the most beautiful, the most glorious
birth. From Her very birth, She enclosed within Her maternal little Heart, as
though in-between two wings, all generations, as children reborn in Her
virginal Heart, so as to warm them, keep them sheltered, and raise them and
nourish them with the blood of Her maternal Heart. This is the reason why this
tender Celestial Mother loves creatures so much – because all are reborn in
Her, and She feels the life of Her children within Her Heart. What can Our
Divine Will not do wherever It reigns and has Its Life? It encloses everything
and everyone, and makes one the provider of good to all. So, all feel, under
Her blue mantle, the maternal wing of their Celestial Mother, and they find in
Her maternal Heart their little place in which to take cover.”
March 9, 1930 - “My daughter, the knowledges on my Divine Will
are the ways which can lead creatures into the arms of light of my Divine Fiat.
The knowledges are the seeds, and this seed makes the beginning of the
Life of my Divine Fiat be born in the creature; the knowledges – each of them
will be like many sips of life, which will form in the creature the maturation
of this Divine Life.”
March 12, 1930 – “These seeds are not light, but they
symbolize, some the flower, some the fruit, some a little plant, and some a
precious gem; and I feel the homage of the flower, of the fruit, and so forth –
but not the homage of a sun. And as all these acts are gathered, to enclose
them in my Fiat, they remain as they are – each one with the nature that the
seed gave it; and they appear as acts that the creature can do, not as acts
that my Divine Will can do with Its seed of light in the acts of creatures. The
seed of Divine Will is not given by It, if not when the creature lives in It,
and gives It the first place of honor in her acts.”
June 8, 1931 – “You must know that everything good, holy,
that is done in my Divine Will is nothing other than seeds that germinate in
the field of the soul, placing as though many seeds of divine light,
which set a beginning that will have no end. In fact, everything that is
done in my Divine Will is sown, germinates, grows in an admirable way on earth,
while one is living, but the completion will be formed in Heaven; the final
development, the variety of the beauties, the shades, the most beautiful and
striking tints, will be given to her in the Celestial Fatherland.”
Feb. 24, 1933 – “You should know that my truths are seeds
that I the Celestial Farmer continue to sow in souls, and if I make my seeding,
with certainty I must gather the fruit. Many times it happens to Me as to
the poor sower that casts his seed in the earth, which for lack of moisture the
earth doesn’t hold the strength to eat the seed in order to digest it and to
convert it in earth and give the substance that it has absorbed from the seed
and give the ten, the twenty, the one hundred of the seed that it has eaten.
Other times while he casts the seed, for lack of rain the earth is made hard
over the seed and the substance of the seed that it encloses doesn’t find the
way in order to make life go forth, and the poor farmer must have patience to
receive the harvest of his seeds. However, with having sowed the seed he
has already done a thing and can have hope of who knows that a rain might give
moisture to the earth, which possessing the substance of his seeds, it will put
forth that which he has sowed, or else taking away the hardness and shifting it
forms the ways in order to let his seed reproduce. So that the sower in spite
that the earth doesn’t produce immediately, the multiplicity of the seed that
it received, the time, the circumstances, the rain, can produce a most abundant
harvest that he didn’t expect. Now if the farmer in spite of all the
difficulties of the earth, can hope to receive an abundant harvest, more so I,
Celestial Farmer, having put forth from my Divine bosom, so many seeds of
Celestial truths, in order to sow them in the depth of your soul, and from the
harvest I will fill the whole world.”
Sept. 17, 1933 – “All things possess the virtue to reproduce
similar things, the seed produces other seeds, the flower other flowers, the
bird other little birds, and so on with the rest, not producing similar things
is to go against divine and human nature. Therefore, not having the creature
similar to us, is one of our greatest sorrows, and only one who lives of our
Will, can be joy, and bearer of glory and of triumph for our creative work.”
April 4, 1938 - “My good daughter of my Will, my love was so
great in the creation of man that I gave him my Will as his own primary Life
and as absolute necessity, to the extent that he couldn’t do any good without
It. The earth cannot produce anything without water, since water is like the
soul of the earth. But without the sun which fecundates, purifies and
embellishes the earth with its light and heat, the water would serve only to
make the earth moldy, rendering it like a muddy sewer, which would release a
contagious air capable of infecting the earth. But these three elements - water,
earth and sun - are not enough. Seed is needed to produce, from the earth, the
most beautiful blooms, plants and fruits which delight the farmer and form the
food for all the human generations. You see, if only one of these elements was
missing, the earth would be so sterile, gloomy, and obscure as to be
frightening. It is the necessity of the union of these elements that forms the
beauty, the utility, the goodness and the fecundity of our Creative Works.
Separated, they can be harmful and noxious to the poor creatures - united, they
can do a world of good.
In the same way, I created the strong necessity of my Will in the creature. I
created the soul, like water for the earth, which had to flow - more that water
- in the earth of the body. I created my Will in it, like Sun, light and heat,
which had to vivify, fecundate and embellish it, but with so much beauty as to
continuously enrapture Us for love of her. Then, just as the farmer throws
the seeds into the earth to make it produce, my Will assumed the commitment of
throwing many divine seeds into the creature, which had to rise like many Suns,
one more beautiful than the other, to produce blooms and celestial fruits,
which had to serve as food for the creatures, and even as food for their
Creator; for our Food - our Life - is our Will. Do you see then, the necessity
of the union of acts which, like seeds, are formed by the creature?”
June 12, 1938 – “Now, you must know that every knowledge I
manifest and every act done in my Will, thanks to this knowledge, is like a
divine seed acquired by the soul. This seed will produce new divine
science. Oh! how she will be able to speak the language of her Creator. Every
truth will be a new celestial language with the virtue of being understandable
to those who listen and want to receive this divine seed. This seed will
produce new life of sanctity, new love, new goodness, new joy and happiness. These
seeds of truth will be as many divine properties acquired by the soul.
The joy we receive when the soul operates in our Will is such that
we communicate it to all the Blessed. You must know that as many are the
divine seeds which the soul acquires by knowledge of my Fiat, so many more
degrees of our knowledge and glory will we extend to her when, having finished
her life down here, she will come to our Heavenly Fatherland. To each knowledge
acquired on earth will correspond a double knowledge of our Supreme Entity in
our Celestial residence. To each Divine seed a degree of glory, joy and
happiness”.
Nov. 26, 1938 - "My blessed daughter, my Will wants to
give, but It wants to find the soul disposed. It is like the earth for the
farmer: no matter how many seeds he may possess, if there were no earth on
which he could throw those seeds, and if the earth had a mind and was not
disposed to receive his seeds, the poor farmer would feel as if those seeds,
meant to enrich the earth, were thrown back in his face and his eyes. Such is
my Will: It wants to give, but if It doesn't find the soul disposed, It cannot
find a place for Its gifts. With great pain, It would feel as if they were
being thrown back in Its face; so if It wants to talk to her, It would find her
deaf. Therefore, disposition prepares the soul, opening divine doors and
providing the sense of hearing. But if the soul first hears what my Will wants
to give, she is placed in communication so that she may love It and long for
what she is about to receive. If she is not disposed we don't give anything,
because we do not want to expose our gifts to uselessness.
On the other hand, disposition is like the earth which
surrenders to the farmer - surrenders to anything he wants, letting him work,
hoe and plow, to safely cover the seeds with which he fills it. In the same
way, if our Supreme Being finds the disposition, We do our works. We prepare
her, we participate in her, and with our creative hands we prepare the place
for our gifts and form our most beautiful works. But if she is not disposed,
with all our power we can do nothing, because her interior is cluttered up with
stones, thorns, wicked passions; and since she is not disposed, she does not
allow us to take them out. How many sanctities go up in smoke for lack of
disposition. Further, if she is not disposed, she does not adapt herself to
living in our Divine Will. On the contrary, it seems that It is just not
for her. Its sanctity floors her; Its purity makes her feel ashamed; Its light
blinds her. But if she is disposed, she flings herself into Its arms, and she
lets us do whatever we want with her. She even remains there like a tiny little
baby receiving our works with so much love as to feel enraptured. And what does
our Will do? It makes flow in her Its divine motion, and with this divine
motion she finds all our works in action; she kisses them, hugs them and invests
them with her little love. She finds my conception and my birth in action, and
with her love she wants to be conceived and reborn with me. And not do only I
let her do this, but, finding one who is reborn together with me, I feel such a
joy as to be repaid for having come upon earth.
But she doesn't stop here. The divine motion she possesses makes
her run everywhere to find all that my Humanity - like a fierce army - did: my
tears, my words, my prayers, my steps, my pains; she takes, she kisses, she
adores - everything. There is nothing I did that she does not invest with her
love. What does she do then? She makes everything her own, and, in a manner all
childish and graceful, she locks all things up inside her womb. Then she rises
high. She comes before our Divinity, places these things all around us, and
with emphasis of love she says: 'adorable Majesty, how many beautiful things I
am bringing to you. All are mine and I bring you all, because all love you,
adore you, glorify you, and return to you the great love that you have for me
and for all.'”
Vol. 15, May 8, 1923
Ah! my daughter, I had
created man like a flower, which was to grow, acquire color and fragrance, in
my very Divinity. By withdrawing from my Will, it happened to him as to a
flower that is snatched away from a plant. As long as it remains in the plant,
the flower is beautiful, lively in its color and fragrant in its perfume; once
it is snatched away from the plant, it withers, it fades, it becomes ugly, and
reaches the point of giving off a bad odor. What a lot this was for him, and
what a sorrow for Me who, with so much love, wanted to grow this flower in my
Divinity, to delight and amuse Myself with him!
Now, by my omnipotence, I want this detached flower to bloom
again, by transplanting it once again into the womb of my Divinity; but I want
a soul who would want to live in the womb of my Volition. She will be the
seed that she will lend to Me, and my Will will do all the rest. In this
way, my delights of Creation will come back, I will amuse Myself with this
mystical flower, and I will be repaid for Creation.”
