JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: February 25, 1928

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 23, February 25, 1928 . How the Divine Will is present in the midst of creatures as center of life. How the heartbeat is the king of one’s nature, and the thought is the king of one’s soul.

Jesus:

“My daughter, my Will is present in the midst of creatures as center of life. Similarly, the human heart can be called king of one’s nature; in fact, if the heart palpitates, the mind thinks, the mouth speaks, the hands operate, the feet walk; if the heart does not palpitate, all of a sudden everything ends, because the king of the poor nature is missing, and therefore the one who rules and gives life to the thought, to the word, and to everything that the creature can do, is missing. Similarly, the thought is king of the soul, the dwelling, the throne in which the soul carries out her activity, her life, her regime. Now, if the human nature wanted to suffocate the beating of the heart, to do without its king in speaking, thinking and the like, what would happen? It itself would give death to all of its acts; so, it would be the suicide of itself. And if the soul wanted to suffocate the thought, she would not find the way in order to carry out her activity, and therefore it would be like a king without kingdom and without people. Now, what the heart is for the human life, and the thought for the soul, my Divine Will is in each creature. It is like center of life, and from Its incessant and eternal heartbeat, It palpitates and the creature thinks, palpitates and speaks, walks and operates. But creatures not only do not think about It, but suffocate It; they suffocate Its light, Its sanctity, Its peace, the upright operating, the just and holy speaking; and some of them suffocate It so much as to render themselves the suicides of their souls. And my Will, in the low world, is like a king without kingdom and without people; and creatures live as if they had no king, no divine life, no regime, because the king of their heartbeat, for their nature, and the king of their thought, for their souls, is missing. And since, because of Its immensity, It envelops everything and everyone, It is forced to live as though suffocated within Itself, because there is no one who receives Its life, Its attitude, Its regime. But It wants to form Its Kingdom on earth, It wants to have Its chosen and faithful people; and therefore, even though It is present in the midst of creatures and lives unknown and suffocated, It does not stop, It does not depart for Its celestial regions, but persists in remaining in their midst to make Itself known. It would want to make everyone know the good It wants to do, Its celestial laws, Its insuperable love, Its heartbeat that palpitates light, sanctity, love, gifts, peace, happiness; and such does It want the children of Its Kingdom. And this is the reason for Its life in you, for Its knowledges – to make known what Divine Will means. And I enjoy and remain hidden in my very Will, to give It all the field and the carrying out of Its life in you. ”

Scripture– ²⁸ for

‘In him we live and move and have our being’;

as even some of your poets have said,

‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ (Acts 17:28).

Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because it is in You that we live and move and have our being! You are the center of our lives- our heartbeats united with Yours were meant to be King of our lives and our thoughts in union with You King of our souls. And yet it is in so few that You truly reign! O Lord let us not allow Your Life to be suffocated within us but let Your peace, happiness, and love truly rule our hearts and our souls for Your Glory and the good of all!
