From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
Date: January 14, 1902
Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 4, January 14, 1902. One is not worthy of Jesus if he does not empty himself of everything. What true exaltation consists of.
Luisa:
As I was in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came and told me:
Jesus:
“My daughter, only one who has emptied himself of everything and has filled himself completely with Me can be truly worthy of Me, in such a way as to make of himself an object of divine love alone; to the point that my love must come to form his life, and he must love Me, not with his love, but with my own love. ”
Luisa:
Then He added:
Jesus:
“What do these words mean: He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly? That the soul, destroying herself completely, fills all of herself with God, and as she loves God with God Himself, God exalts the soul to an eternal love. This is the true and greatest exaltation, and also true humility. ”
Luisa:
Then He continued:
Jesus:
“The true sign to know whether one possesses this love is that the soul cares about nothing but loving God, making Him known, and making everyone love Him. ”
Luisa:
Then, as He withdrew in my interior, I heard Him pray, saying:
Jesus:
“Ever Holy and indivisible Trinity, I adore You profoundly, I love You intensely, I thank You perpetually, for all and in the hearts of all. ”
Luisa:
And I went on in this way, hearing Him pray almost continuously inside of me, and I with Him. (Book of Heaven-Divinewillapp.com)
Scripture Meditation- 37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10: 37-39).
Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You, and we adore You because sometimes it can take us aback to hear “worthy of You”. Isn’t Your Love unconditional? Of course it is, for every soul past, present and future. But for our lives to be truly it is not I who live but Christ who lives in me (Galatians 2:20). we must be empty of ourselves so that You can fill us. To love You with Your Love! You tell us today the sign of this emptying- are we all for You and You alone wanting everyone to know You and love You? They key is it is Your Love that allows us to empty ourselves, this is not our own doing, so let us love the Love that never lets us go praising the Holy Trinity profoundly for all in every moment!
