JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: January 17, 1921

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 12, January 17, 1921. The ‘Fiat Mihi’ of the Most Holy Virgin had the same power of the Creative Fiat. The Third Fiat will be the fulfillment and completion of the prayer taught by Jesus: the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua sicut in Coelo et in Terra’.

Jesus:

“My daughter, it is my usual way to choose the most abject, incapable and poor souls for my greatest works. My very Mama had nothing extraordinary in Her exterior life – no miracles, not a sign that would make Her be distinguished from other women. Her only distinction was perfect virtue, to which almost no one paid attention. And if to other Saints I gave the distinction of miracles, and others I adorned with my wounds, to my Mama, nothing – nothing. Yet, She was the portent of portents, the miracle of miracles, the true and perfect crucified – no one else like Her. I usually act like a master, who has two servants: one seems a giant, herculean, capable of everything; the other one, small, short, incapable, seems to be good at nothing – not an important service. If the master keeps him, it is more out of charity, and also for His amusement. Now, having to send a million – a billion, to another country, what does he do? He calls the little one, the incapable one, and entrusts the great sum to him, saying to himself: ‘If I entrust it to the giant, all will fix their attention on him; thieves will assail him, they may rob him; and if he defends himself with his herculean strength, he may remain wounded. I know that he is capable, but I want to spare him; I do not want to expose him to the obvious danger. On the other hand, this little one – knowing him to be incapable, no one will pay attention to him; no one would think that I might entrust such an important sum to him; and so he will come back safe and sound. ’ The poor incapable one is surprised that the master would trust him, when he could use the giant, and, all trembling and humble, he goes to deposit the great sum, with no one deigning to look at him; and safe and sound he returns to his master, more trembling and humble than before. So I do. The greater the work I want to do, the more I choose abject, poor, ignorant souls, with no exteriority that might draw attention upon them. The abject state of the soul will serve as safe custody for my work; the thieves of self-esteem, of love of self, will not pay attention to her, knowing her inability. And she, humble and trembling, will carry out the office entrusted by Me, knowing that, not herself, but I Myself did everything in her. ” (Book of Heaven) (Divinewillapp.com)

Scripture Meditation- ²⁶ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; ²⁷ but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, ²⁸ God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, ²⁹ so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.  (1 Corinthians 27-29). (Bible Gateway, RSV-CE)

Reflection- We thank You, we praise You and we adore You Lord because You lift up the lowly! (Luke 1:52). Your most important work was accomplished first by the Blessed Mother in her Fiat Mihi, and next in Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta in the Fiat Voluntas Tua sicut in Coelo et in Terra, the third fiat! We have had giants, saints, in the Church and yet You choose the littles ones, trembling and humble, to carry out the office intended by You because it is You doing all the work. We see this in the Bible from Gideon to David and Goliath, to Our Blessed Mother and in what You have taught us about little ones all through the Gospel. And You are calling us, right here, right now to link with Luisa and fused in Your Most Holy Divine Will to call down the Kingdom with our little acts and rounds! Because we are not the “giants” in the faith, we are the incapable ones who know we can’t even take a breath without You and yet are ready to give our little fiats to Your Mighty plan for us and for all!
