JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

December 27, 1918 The word of Jesus is sun.

In these past days I had recorded nothing on paper of what Jesus had told me. I felt such listlessness; and Jesus, on coming, told me: “My daughter, why don’t you write? My word is light, and just as the sun shines in all the eyes, in such a way that all have sufficient light for all their needs, so is each one of my words more than a sun, which can be light sufficient to illuminate any mind and to warm each heart. So, each word of mine is a sun that comes out from Me, which now serves you; by writing it, it will serve others. And you, by not writing, come to suffocate this sun within Me, and to prevent the outpouring of my love and all the good that a sun could do.”
And I: ‘Ah! my Jesus, who is going to calculate on paper the words that You tell me?’ And He: “This is not up to you to say, but to Me. And even if they were not calculated – which will not be – the many suns of my words will rise majestically, placing themselves for the good of all. On the other hand, by not writing, you prevent the sun from rising, and you would cause great harm. If someone could prevent the sun from rising on the azure heavens, how much harm would he not cause to the earth? That one, to nature – and you, to souls. And besides, it is the glory of the sun to shine majestically, and to take the earth and everyone as though in its hands, with its light; the harm is for those who do not take advantage of it. So it will be with the sun of my words: it will be my glory to make rise as many different enchanting and beautiful suns for as many words as I speak; the harm will be for those who do not take advantage of it.”

Scripture Meditation– ¹² Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12).

Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You! How so many of us want to hide our little lights under a bushel (Matthew 5). We hide Your Light due to what others might think, human respect, and our own weakness and slowness in doing good. And yet, especially in the Divine Will, we may be the only Jesus anyone sees or hears. Our Blessed Mother in the Virgin Mary in the Kingdom describes us as “bearers of Jesus” to others. She tells us “If you let the Divine Will reign in your soul, you too will become the bearer of Jesus to creatures – you too will feel the irresistible need to give Him to all.” Your Word is sun which illumines any heart so let us read and put into practice all You would have us know for Your Glory and the good of all!
