Overflowing With Light

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

December 18, 1927- How the Virgin possessed the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat. How the lights dived, and She was able to conceive. How Jesus, from within the veil of His Humanity, like rising sun, kept tracing all creatures.


I was thinking about the great love of when my Highest Good, Jesus, incarnated Himself in the womb of the height of the Sovereign Lady; and of how a creature, though holy and with no stain at all, could contain a God. And my always lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:

“My daughter, my Celestial Mother possessed my Will; She was so filled with It as to overflow with light – but so much, that Her waves of light rose up into the bosom of Our Divinity; and making Herself the conqueror by the power of Our Divine Volition which She possessed, She conquered the Celestial Father, and captured the light of the Word into Her light, and made Him descend even into Her womb, within the same light which She had formed by virtue of my Divine Will. I could never have descended from Heaven had I not found Our own light within Her, Our own Will reigning in Her. Had it not been so, it would have been like descending, from the very first moment, into a foreign house. But I was to descend into my house; I was to find the place into which to lower my light, my Heaven, my countless joys; and the Celestial Sovereign Lady, by possessing my Divine Will, prepared for Me this dwelling, this Heaven, in nothing dissimilar from the Celestial Fatherland. Is perhaps not my Will that which forms the Paradise of all the Blessed?
So, as the light of my Fiat drew Me into Her womb and the light of the Word descended, the lights dived together, and the pure Virgin, Queen and Mother, with few drops of blood which She made flow from Her burning Heart, formed the veil of my Humanity around the light of the Word, and enclosed it within It. But my light was immense, and while my Divine Mother enclosed its sphere within the veil of my Humanity which She formed for Me, She could not contain the rays. They overflowed outside and, more than sun, which, at its rising, from the height of its sphere spreads its rays over the earth, to trace the plants, the flowers, the sea and all creatures, to give the effects which its light contains to all; and, as though triumphant, from the height of its sphere it looks at the good it does and at the life it infuses in each thing it invests – so I did: more than rising sun, from within the veil of my Humanity, the rays that overflowed outside kept tracing all creatures, to give my Life and the good I had come to bring upon earth, to each one of them. These rays from within my sphere pounded on each creature; they beat down strongly, to tell them: ‘Open for Me – take the life I have come to bring you.’ This sun of mine never sets, and still continues to follow its course spreading its rays, pounding and pounding, on the hearts, on the wills, on the minds of creatures, over and over again, in order to give my Life. But how many close the doors to Me and reach the point of making fun of my light? But my love is so great, that in spite of this I do not draw back, I continue my continuous rising to give life to creatures.”

Scripture MeditationBut when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:5),

Reflection- O Lord what You tell is so solemn and profound and beautiful that there are no words except Fiat and Thank You and we love You, adore You, and glorify You for Our Virgin Mother, full of Grace, overflowing with light who gave Her Fiat to Your Plan of Salvation! O Lord You are the Light of the World and in You is life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1). You spread Your Rays of Light knocking on the doors of our hearts and our minds (Revelations 3). Will we open those doors, no matter how heartbroken some of us may be this holiday season or how superficial and cluttered our Advents may have been, to let You in so that You would give us life and life abundant? (John 10). Let us give our little Fiats joined to Mary’s and welcome You “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ! (Isaiah 9:6).
