From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 11, February 24, 1912. The soul who lives in the Divine Will loses her temperament and acquires that of Jesus. The smile of Jesus.
Luisa:
After I saw various souls around Jesus, especially one who was more sensitive, Jesus told me:
Jesus:
“My daughter, if the souls with sensitive temperament start doing good, they make more progress than the others, because their sensitivity leads them to arduous and great enterprises. ”
Luisa:
I prayed that He would take what was left of her human sensitivity away from that soul, and that He would clasp her more closely to Himself and tell her that He loved her, for He would conquer her completely, as she would hear that He loved her. ‘You will see that You will succeed. Have You not conquered me in this way, telling me that You loved me very, very much? ’ And Jesus:
Jesus:
“Yes, yes, I will do it, but I want her cooperation – that she escape as much as she can from the people who excite her sensitivity. ”
Luisa:
So I added: ‘My Love, tell me, what about my temperament – what is it? ’ And Jesus:
Jesus:
“One who lives in my Will loses her temperament and acquires mine. So, in the soul who lives in my Will one finds a pleasant, attractive, penetrating, dignified temperament, and simple at the same time – of a child-like simplicity; in sum, she looks like Me in everything. Even more, she keeps her temperament within her power as she wants and as is needed. Since she lives in my Will, she takes part in my power, so she has all things, and herself, at her disposal, and according to the circumstances and the people she deals with, she takes my temperament and applies it. ” (Book of Heaven) (Divinewillapp.com)
Scripture– 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23).
Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You, and we adore You because You see our temperaments and what is good for us and what is not. How often we fail to ask You before we think and speak out of those temperaments which come from our wounded human nature. How much You want to help us but we fail to cooperate with grace finding ourselves in the same circumstances and situations over and over again. How much better it would be if we allowed You to act in us, with Your Temperament. To allow those fruits of the Spirit- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control to reign in us so that it would not be us who live but You in us? (Galatians 2). To have all Your things at our disposal in all circumstances because we live in You? Going from the confusion of our complicated selves to freedom in You is just one Fiat away! May it all be for Your Glory and the good of all!
