JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From The Writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

December 28, 1938 The Maternity of the Queen of Heaven.
After this, I continued my round in the Divine Volition, and I arrived at the point of the birth of little Jesus, who was shivering with cold, and was crying and sobbing bitterly, looking at me with His eyes swollen with tears, asking me for help. And amid sobs and moans, He told me: “My good daughter, the lack of love from the creatures makes Me cry bitterly. As I see Myself unloved, I feel wounded and it gives Me such pain that I burst into tears. My Love runs over each creature, covering her, hiding her, and I constitute Myself Life of love for each one; but, ungrateful, they don’t even say an ‘I love You’ to Me. How am I not to cry? Therefore, love Me and calm my tears.
Now, my daughter, listen to Me and pay attention. I want to tell you a great surprise of Our Love, and I want you to let nothing escape you; I want to make known to you where the Maternity of my Celestial Mother reached, what She did, how much it cost Her, and still costs Her.

Now, you must know that the Great Queen was my Mother not only by conceiving Me, by delivering Me to the light, by nourishing Me with Her milk, and by giving Me all the possible cares that I needed during my infancy. This was not enough, either to Her Maternal Love, or to my Love as Her Son. Therefore Her Maternal Love ran into my mind, and if sorrowful thoughts were afflicting Me, she laid Her Maternity in each of my thoughts, hiding them inside Her Love and kissing them. So, I felt my mind being hidden under Her maternal wings, which never left Me alone; each one of my thoughts had my Mother who loved Me and gave Me all Her maternal attentions. Her Maternity extended in each of my breaths, in each heartbeat of Mine; and if my breath and heartbeat were suffocated by love and by sorrow, She would run with Her Maternity so that I would not be suffocated by love, and to place Her balm upon my pierced Heart. If I looked, if I spoke, if I operated, if I walked, She ran to receive in Her Maternal Love my gazes, my words, my works, my steps, investing them with Her Maternal Love and hiding them inside Her Heart, operating as my Mother. Even in the food She prepared for Me She would make Her Maternal Love flow; and I, in eating it, could feel Her Maternity loving Me. And then, how much more could I tell you of the display of Maternity She made in my pains? There was not one pain, nor a drop of Blood I shed, in which I did not feel my dear Mother. And after operating as my Mother, She would take my pains and my Blood, and would hide them inside Her Maternal Heart, to love them and continue Her Maternity
Who can tell you how much She loved Me and how much I loved Her? My Love was such that, in everything I did, I could not be
without feeling Her Maternity together with Me. I can say that She would run even in my breathing, never to leave Me alone; and I called Her. Her Maternity was for Me a need, a relief, a support for my Life down here.

Now, my daughter, listen to another love surprise of your Jesus and of Our Celestial Mother, because in everything We did, between my Mother and I, love found no hindrance, the love of One would run in the love of the Other to form one single Life. Now, wanting to do the same with creatures, how many hindrances, rejections, ingratitudes! But my Love never stops. You must know that as my inseparable Mother laid Her Maternity inside and outside of my Humanity, so did I constitute Her and confirm Her Mother of each thought of creature, of each breath, of each heartbeat, of each word, and I made Her lay Her Maternity in their works, in their steps and in all their pains. Her Maternity runs everywhere. If creatures are in danger of falling into sin, She covers them with Her Maternity so that they may not fall; and if they have fallen, She leaves Her Maternity as help and defense, to make them stand up again. Her Maternity runs and extends over the souls who want to be good and holy, as if She found Her Jesus in them. She operates as Mother to their intellects, She guides their words, She covers them and hides them in Her Maternal Love, so as to raise as many other Jesuses. Her Maternity is displayed on the beds of the dying, and using the rights of authority of Mother, given by Me, She says to Me in such a tender tone that I cannot refuse her anything: ‘My Son, I am Mother, and they are my children – I must rescue them. If You don’t grant this to Me, my Maternity would be compromised.’ And while saying this, She covers them with Her Love, She hides them with Her Maternity to rescue them.

My Love was such that I said to Her: ‘Mother of Mine, I want You to be the Mother of all, and what You have done for Me, You will do for all creatures. Your Maternity extends in all of their acts, in such a way that I will see them all covered and hidden inside your Maternal Love.’ My Mother accepted, and it was confirmed that not only would She be the Mother of all, but that She would invest each of their acts with Her Maternal Love. This was one of the greatest graces I gave to all human generations. But how many sorrows does my Mother not receive? They reach the point of not wanting to receive Her Maternity, and of denying It. Therefore the whole of Heaven prays and anxiously awaits the Divine Will to be known and to reign. Then will the Great Queen do to the children of my Will what She did for Her Jesus, and Her Maternity will have life in Her children.
I will surrender my own place in Her Maternal Heart to those who live in my Will. She will raise them for Me, She will guide their steps, She will hide them within Her Maternity and Sanctity. Her Maternal Love and Her Sanctity will be seen, impressed in all their acts; they will be Her true children, who will look like Me in everything. Oh! how I would love for everyone to know that if they want to live in my Will, they have a powerful Queen and Mother who will make up for whatever they lack. She will raise them on Her maternal lap, and in everything they do She will be together with them, to shape their acts after Her own; so much so, that they will be known as the children raised, kept and instructed by the Love of the Maternity of my Mother. And these will be the children who will make Her happy, and will be Her glory and Her honor.”

Scripture Meditation- ³ When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” ⁴ And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me?^[ My hour has not yet come.” ⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:3-5).

Reflection- O Lord we bless You, we adore You and we glorify You because as we wind down this year the Daily Calendar gives us the last reading in the book of Heaven and it is all about Our Blessed Mother. About what She did for Jesus and what She does and wants to do for all of us and how much it cost Her and still costs Her. Her true love and maternity for us never says enough. She is there for the faithful to instruct them and raise them like Jesus, for the sinner to help them rise and stand up again, and for the dying using Her Rights as Mother and You tell us that You do not deny Her anything! Just like the Wedding Feast of Cana, so She is in every moment of our lives interceding for us and at the same time telling us to do whatever You tell us! So let us always call on Our Queen and Mother who will make up for what we lack! Let us be raised and instructed on Her Maternal Lap to be Her True Children for Your Glory and the good of all!
