JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

January 9, 1903 Everything is written in the hearts of those who believe, hope and love.

This morning I was feeling all oppressed, and since Monsignor had come to visit me, saying that he was not sure that it was Jesus Christ who operated in me, when blessed Jesus came, He told me: “My daughter, in order to comprehend a subject well it takes belief, because without belief everything is dark in the human intellect. On the other hand, the mere believing turns on a light in the mind, and by means of this light one can recognize with clarity truth and falsehood, when it is grace that operates, when it is nature, and when the devil. See, the Gospel is known to all, but who comprehends the meaning of my words, and the truths contained in It? Who keeps them in his heart and makes of them a treasure with which to purchase the eternal kingdom? One who believes. As for all others, not only do they not understand a thing, but they use my words to mock them and to make fun of the holiest things. So, it can be said that everything is written in the hearts of those who believe, hope and love, while nothing is written for everyone else. The same with you: one who has a little bit of belief sees things with clarity and finds the truth; one who does not, sees things as all confused.”

Scripture Meditation- This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. (Hebrews 8:10).

Reflection- O Lord we praise You, we bless You and we adore You because You tell us today that it takes belief to stir up hope and love. That Your truth is written in the hearts of those who believe. Just as in the Gospel, it is our faith that activates miracles and reveals to us that You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). For those who believe no proof is necessary, for those who do not believe, no proof is possible. (Stuart Chase). Fiat Lord!
