JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: January 13, 1927

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 20, January 13, 1927. Jesus prays her to write. How His word is happiness. How one who lives in the Divine Will is looked upon as one from the Celestial Fatherland. She prays together with the whole Creation; how Jesus promises her that everything will be granted to her.

Luisa:

Then, after this, I began to pray, bringing all Creation together with me before the Supreme Majesty – that is, the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea – in sum, everything, so that my prayer might be animated by all the acts which the Supreme Fiat exercises in the whole Creation. My sweet Jesus placed Himself near me, leaning His head against mine, extending His arm around my neck, almost to sustain me. And I said to Him: ‘My Love, Jesus, I am not the only one praying You, but together with me there is your Will operating in all Creation, praying that your Kingdom come. It Itself wants Its rights, all whole and complete, over everyone and everything; and only with the coming of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat upon earth will all of Its rights be given back to It. Listen, oh Jesus, how touching is the voice of your Fiat in the whole azure of the heavens; how eloquent it is in the sun; how attractive and strong it is in the sea. Everywhere can your Fiat be heard resounding, wanting the rights of Its Kingdom. O please! listen to your own Fiat; listen to your little daughter who, making all of Its acts her own, prays You, supplicates You, that your Kingdom come. And even though I am just newly born, I too want my rights; and do You know, O Jesus, what they are? That I give back to your Will all the glory and the honor as if no one had offended It, as if all had fulfilled It, adored It and loved It. If I am Its daughter, I want that Its rights be given back to It, and I want also that my first father Adam be given back the honor as if he had never withdrawn from your Will. ’ And my most sweet Jesus, all moved, said to me:

Jesus:

“To my little daughter who takes to heart so much the rights of my Divine Fiat, and who makes use of Its very power in order to breach her way over my Heart, everything will be granted. How not to content you, my daughter? To you everything will be given; even more, we will adjust together what regards my Will and what regards the creatures. Aren’t you happy? Look, my daughter – from the moment my Will went out into the field in Creation, It has always been firm and unshakeable in doing good, in spite of the many volubilities of creatures and the offenses. Triumphing of everything, It has followed Its course of always, always doing good. See, in order to make the creature ascend again into the firmness, into the perennial good, into the unshakeability of my Will, I want to establish my Kingdom in their midst. See then, in what point I have placed you – in the firmness and unshakeability of the Fiat, so as to allow you to lay this Kingdom of Mine within It. And just as my Will triumphs of everything with Its firmness, so will you triumph of everything with Its firmness and in the unshakeability of Its acts, and you will reorder the divine order between the two wills – the Divine Will will be reintegrated in Its glory, and the human will will place itself again in the order established by God. ”

Luisa:

After I wrote this, I was thinking to myself that what is written above was not necessary; more so since, continuing to be feverish, I write with difficulty, and I write just a little to make Jesus content. And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:

Jesus:

“My daughter, in order to live in my Will, the soul must ascend; and in order to ascend in It, she must leave that which does not belong to my Will. She must leave her miserable rags, her vulgar habits, her vile foods, her miseries. Everything she must leave, to make use of royal garments, of divine habits, of precious and nourishing foods, of infinite riches – in sum, of everything that belongs to my Will. What you have written serves you for now – it serves the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat; then it will be the rule for those who must live in It – how they must make use of all the operating acts of my Will in order to maintain themselves within the boundaries of my Kingdom. Therefore, that which to you does not seem to be necessary, is necessary for the formation of my Supreme Kingdom. ”

Scripture Meditation- ²² Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts, ²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:22-24).

Reflection- O Lord we praise You and we adore You and we glorify You because You encourage Luisa to keep praying her rounds, that this will be the rule necessary for the formation of the Kingdom in us! To pray with Your praying! But we are so stuck in our little human wills, the old nature, the former way of life! Let us throw off the miserable rags of our vile habits (yes we all have them) and miseries to put You on, the royal garment of Your Divine Habits. (Romans 13:14) (But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.) Let us learn this rule of life in the Divine Will to praise You and glorify You for Your Glory and the good of all! Let us ascend always higher!
