JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

Daily Calendar from Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Vol. 20 – November 14, 1926

How, by not following the Divine Will in the Creation, the soul would lack the reflection of Its works. How great graces are needed for the Sanctity of living in the Holy Volition.

I was doing my usual acts in the Divine Volition, and I thought to myself: ‘If I spent one day without doing these acts, what would be the good I would lose and the evil I would do?’ And my always lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, do you know what you would do? By not doing your acts in my Will, you would lack the reflection of all Creation; and because you would lack Its reflection, on that day the heavens would not extend within you, the sun would not rise, the sea would not flow within you, your earth would not let the new flowering bloom, nor would the joy, the music, the singing of the inhabitants of the air, the sweet symphony of the spheres, be heard in you. My Will would not find Its echo in you, therefore It would feel the sorrow that, on that day, the little daughter of Its Volition has not given It the requital of a heaven for love of It, because she lacked the reflection of Its heaven; she has not made the sun rise in return for Its eternal light; she has not let It hear the sea flowing, nor its sweet murmuring, nor the darting of the mute inhabitants of the waves. My Will would feel all of Its acts, the reflection of Its works, missing in you, nor could It form Its echo in you. And in Its sorrow, It would say: ‘Ah! today my little daughter has not given me a heaven as I have given to her, nor a sun, a sea, flowers, singing, music and joy, as I have given to her. So, she has gone out of my likeness; her notes have not harmonized with mine. I have loved her with many manifestations and with incessant love – she did not.’ See what you would do! My Will would not tolerate in you, Its little daughter, the void of Its works.”

On hearing this, I said: ‘My Jesus, my Love, may it never be that I give this sorrow to your adorable Will. You will help me – You will give me more grace, and I will be more attentive in order to receive this reflection, this echo, which your Holy Will produces in the whole Creation, so that I may correspond with mine.’ And Jesus, resuming His speaking, added: “You must know that great graces are needed in order to form in the soul the sanctity of living in my Will. The other sanctities can be formed with small graces, because it is not an immense and eternal Will that they must embrace and possess, but little particles of It, Its commands, Its shadow. On the other hand, in this sanctity they must possess my Will as their own life, they must form Its cortege and make Its acts their own acts; therefore, seas of graces are needed in order to form this sanctity. My Will must bilocate Itself in order to extend Its sea in the depth of the soul, and then extend another sea of Itself, so as to be able to receive what befits Its sanctity, Its unending light, Its immensity without boundaries. The goodwill of the soul is nothing other than the bottom of the sea which, forming the shore, surrounds the waters in order to form the sea.

My daughter, it takes much to sustain and preserve a Divine Will in the soul; and the Divinity, knowing that the creature does not have equivalent things for a Will so holy, holds nothing back – everything is placed in her, at her disposal, in order to form the sanctity of living in my Will. God Himself acts as prime actor and spectator; my Humanity gives everything – everything It did, suffered and conquered, which are endless seas – as help of this sanctity, fully divine. The Queen Mama Herself places Her seas of grace, of love and of sorrow at her disposal, as help, and feels honored that they serve the Supreme Will in order to accomplish the sanctity of the Eternal Fiat in the creature. Heaven and earth want to give, and they give, because, feeling all invested by this Will, they desire – they yearn to help the fortunate creature to fulfill the purpose of Creation – the origin of the sanctity which the Supreme Volition wanted from the creature. Therefore, nothing will you lack on the part of your Jesus; more so, since this is my desire from of old, wanted, yearned-for and longed-for, for as long as six thousand years: wanting to see Our image reproduced in the creature, Our sanctity impressed, Our Will operating, Our works enclosed in her, and Our Fiat fulfilled. I wanted the enjoyment and to take the pleasure of seeing Our reflector in the creature; otherwise, the Creation would be without delight, without amusement, without harmony for Us. Our echo would not find the way through which to resound; Our sanctity, the place in which to impress itself; Our beauty, the place in which to shine; Our love, the place into which to pour itself; Our wisdom and mastery would find no place in which to operate and unfold. So, all of Our attributes would remain hampered in their work, because they would not find the suitable material with which to form their work, so as to have their reflector. On the other hand, in the soul in whom my Will reigns, my Will disposes her to become suitable material, so that Our attributes may carry out their delightful crafting.”
