Different ways to fuse oneself in the Divine Will.
As I fuse myself in It, an immense void, all of light, comes before my mind, in which one can find neither the
extent of its height, nor of its depth, nor the boundaries on the right or on the left, nor those on the front or on the back. In
the midst of this immensity, in a highest point, I seem to see the Divinity, or the Three Divine Persons waiting for me –
but this, always mentally. And, I don’t know how, a little child comes out from me; although it is still I – maybe it’s my
little soul. It is moving to see this little child putting herself on the path within this immense empty space – all alone, shy,
walking on tiptoe, with her eyes always fixed to the place where she sees the Three Divine Persons, because she fears that
if she lowers her gaze in that immense void, she wouldn’t know at what point she would end up. All her strength is in that
gaze fixed on high. In fact, in receiving in return the gaze of the Supreme Height, she draws strength along the way. Now,
as the little one arrives before Them, she plunges herself with her face into that empty space, to adore the Divine Majesty.
But a hand from the Divine Persons raises the little child; and They say to her: “Our daughter, the Little Daughter of Our
Will – come into Our arms.” In hearing this, she becomes festive, and makes the Three Divine Persons festive; and
delighting in her, They await the performance of the office, which They entrusted to her. And with grace typical of a
child, she says: “I come to adore You, to bless You, to thank You for all. I come to bind to your throne all human wills of
all generations, from the first to the last man, so that all may recognize Your Supreme Will. May all adore It, love It, and
give It Life within their souls.”
Then she added: “O Supreme Majesty, in this immense void there are all these creatures, and I want to take them
all and place them in your Holy Will, so that all may return to the origin from which they came – your Will. This is why I
came into your paternal arms – to bring You all your children and brothers of mine, and bind them all with your Will. And
in the name of all and for everyone, I want to repair You and give You homage and glory, as if everyone had done your
Most Holy Will. But, please, I beg You, let there be no more separation between Divine and human will! It is a little child
who is asking you this, and I know that You can deny nothing to the little ones.”
But who can say all that I did and said? I would be too long. Besides, I lack the words to express what I say before
the Supreme Majesty. It seems to me that here in the low world we don’t use the same language as in that immense empty
space.
At other times, while I fuse myself in the Divine Will and that immense void comes before my mind, I wander
around all created things, and I impress in them one ‘I love You’ for the Supreme Majesty, as though wanting to fill the
whole atmosphere with many ‘I love You’s’, in order to return the Supreme Love for His great love toward creatures.
Even more, I go through each thought of creature, and I impress my ‘I love You’; through each gaze, and I leave my ‘I
love You’; through each heartbeat, work and step, and I cover them with my ‘I love You’, addressing them to my God. I go
down into the sea, into the depths of the ocean, and I want to fill every darting of the fish, every drop of water, with my ‘I
love You’.
Then, after she has worked everywhere, as though sowing her “I love You”, the little child presents herself before
the Divine Majesty, and wanting to make for Him a pleasing surprise, she says: “My Creator and my Father, my Jesus and
my Eternal Love – look at everything, and hear how all creatures say that they love You. Everywhere there is an “I love
You” for You; Heaven and earth are filled with them. And so, now, will You not concede to your tiny little one that your
Will descend into the midst of creatures, make Itself known, make peace with the human will, and take Its just dominion –
Its place of honor, so that no creature may ever do her will again, but always Yours?”
At other times, while I fuse myself in the Divine Volition, I want to feel sorrow for all the offenses given to my
God, and I start my round again in that immense void, in order to find all the sorrow that Jesus felt for all sins. I make it
my own, and I wander everywhere, in the most hidden and secret places, in public places, over all the acts of evil men, to
feel sorrow for all the offenses. And for each sin, gathering within me all the sorrow for all sins, I feel like crying out in
every motion of all creation: ‘Forgiveness, forgiveness!’ There is not one offense to God, even the slightest one, for which
I do not feel sorrow and ask forgiveness. And so that all may hear my plea of forgiveness for all sins, I impress it in the
rumbling of the thunder, so that sorrow for having offended my God may thunder in all hearts. ‘Forgiveness!’ in the
striking of lightening. Sorrowful repentance in the whistling of the wind, crying out to all: ‘Repentance, and plea of
forgiveness!’ And in the tinkling of the bells: ‘Sorrow and forgiveness!’ In sum, the same in everything. Then I bring the
sorrow of all to my God, and I implore forgiveness for all, saying: ‘Great God, let your Will descend upon earth, so that
sin may no longer take place! The human will alone is what produces so many offenses that it seems to be flooding the
earth with sins. Your Will will be the destroyer of all evils. Therefore, I beg you, make the Little Daughter of your Will content, who wants nothing else but that your Will be known and loved, and that It reign in all hearts.’
Scripture- The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
4 yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hid from its heat. (Psalm 19:1-6)
Reflection- O Lord, we bless You, we adore You, and we worship You because You are teaching us through Luisa the way of praying that You have been waiting for us from all Eternity! It is really unbelievable but You really do want us to fuse our little wills with Yours to give You perfect Glory and Honor! And we do this not just for ourselves but for all, placing I love You’s on all of creation as well as to repair for all! Let us spend time today, reading and meditating on all the ways Luisa explains how we can fuse with You for Your Glory and the good of all!
