JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: January 24, 1920

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 12, January 24, 1920. God created man so that he might keep Him company.

Luisa:

Continuing in my usual state, I was uniting myself with Jesus, praying Him not to leave me alone, and to come to keep me company. And He, moving in my interior, told me:

Jesus:

“My daughter, if you knew how I desire, long for, love the company of the creature! So much, that if in creating man I said: ‘It is not good for man to be alone, let Us make another creature, who may resemble him and keep him company, so that one may form the delight of the other’, these same words I spoke to my love before creating man: ‘I do not want to be alone, but I want the creature in my company. I want to create him in order to amuse Myself with him, to share with him all my contentments. With his company I will pour Myself out in love. ’ This is why I made him in my likeness; and as his intelligence thinks of Me, is occupied with Me, so he keeps company with my wisdom; and as my thoughts keep company with his, we amuse ourselves together. If his gaze looks at Me and at created things in order to love Me, I feel the company of his gaze. If his tongue prays, teaches what is good, I feel the company of his voice. If his heart loves Me, I feel the company in my love; and so with all the rest. But if, instead, he does the opposite, I feel lonely and like a destitute king. But alas! how many leave Me alone and neglect Me. ”

Scripture Meditation-²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20).

Reflection-O Lord we love You, we thank You and we adore You because You have created us in Your image and likeness and out of love! You really want us to keep You company- You really want to spend time with us! So many think You are a distant God or we have to be “good enough” for You to want to pay us any attention. That we have to work for Your Love! But that is not how it is- You created us for You to keep You company. And when we separated ourselves from Your Love You came from Heaven to save us. And You knock on the door of our hearts always! Let us not ever leave You alone- the God who loves us to infinity!
