Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. The Lord decided to sideline me first with a family health issue followed by my own health issue in the form of pneumonia which is now thankfully improving, fiat! I have to admit it has been a bit of a downward spiral- family health issues always bring differing family opinions and I am closing in on what would have been my husband’s and my 5oth anniversary! Grief is hitting hard! But in the Divine Will we know every day is joyful, sorrowful, and glorious- all in the Fiat and all for His Glory and the good of all!
I was sitting in Adoration today and Our Lord gave me a new title for this blog and I believe a new direction. Thanks to the amazing work at Divine Will App they connected the Sunday Gospel to this reading from Volume 19, August 17, 1926
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made me see the reverend father who must occupy
himself with the printing of the writings on the adorable Will of God. And Jesus, placing Himself near him,
said to him: “My son, the title you will give to the book you will print about my Will is this: ‘The Kingdom of
my Divine Will in the midst of creatures. Book of Heaven. The call of the creature to the order, the place and
the purpose for which he was created by God’. See, I want the title also to correspond to the great work of my
Will. I want the creature to comprehend that his place, assigned to him by God, is in my Will, and until he
enters into It, he will be without place, without order, without purpose; he will be an intruder in the Creation,
with no right at all, and therefore he will go wandering without peace, without inheritance. And I, moved to
compassion for him, will cry out to him continuously: ‘Enter into your place, come into the order, come to take
your inheritance – to live in your house. Why do you want to live in a foreign house? Why do you want to
occupy a land that is not yours? And because it is not yours, you live unhappy, and you are the servant and the
laughing-stock of all created things. All things created by Me, because they remain in their place, are in order
and in perfect harmony, with all the fullness of their goods, assigned to them by God. You alone want to be
unhappy – but of a voluntary unhappiness. Therefore come to your place – it is there that I call you and await
you’. Therefore, he or she who will offer to make my Will known, will be my spokesperson, and I will entrust
to them the secrets of Its Kingdom.”
To me this says it all about our mission and also spoke so personally to me because I sure have been walking around the last month disordered and unhappy and Our Lord, just like in today’s Gospel, looks at me and all of us with compassion because face it, we are just so messed up! Which is what I said to Jesus in Adoration and I felt these words in my spirit, like you’re walking on your head? And I laughed and told the Lord I would read the passage when I got home but little did I realize it was the exact same passage!
And Jesus, resuming His speaking, added: “My daughter, how beautiful are Our works – they are
Our honor and Our perennial glory. All of them remain at their place, and each created thing fulfills its office
perfectly. Man alone is Our dishonor in Our creative work, because by withdrawing from Our Will, he walks
upside down, with his head down on the earth and his feet up in the air. What disorder! What disorder! It is
disgusting to see him. By walking with his head upside down, he crawls on the earth, he becomes all upset, he
transforms himself. His sight lacks the necessary span to be able to look; he cannot move around in space in
order to know things, nor defend himself if his enemy is behind his shoulders; and he cannot go too far, because
– poor one – he has to drag himself with his head instead of walking, because the office of walking belongs to
the feet, while that of the head is to dominate. So, doing his own will is the true and perfect tumble of man, and
the disorder of the human family. This is why I care so much that my Will be known – so that he may return to
his place, no longer dragging himself with his head upside down, but walking on his feet; no longer forming my
dishonor and his, but my honor and his. Look, yourself: do creatures not look ugly, in seeing them walk with
their heads on the ground? Don’t you too feel sorry in seeing them so disordered?”
So where is this all leading- well I decided to re-name the blog Walking On Our Heads and refocus it a bit. Not just to get the daily calendar out there matched with Scripture but to really let the Book of Heaven speak into our daily lives along with Scripture of course because, well I’m a Bible nerd, so that we really can let Jesus meet us where we are. Because He has the order, place, and purpose for which we were created all set for us and He wants us I believe to see it in our everyday lives! The ones where we are out there walking on our heads, praying that Jesus will put us right side up! So I hope You enjoy the random ramblings to come, somedays the readings from the Book of Heaven will come from the Calendar, somedays readings linked to Today’s Mass Readings, or just ones Jesus wants me to write about to spread the Kingdom from heart to heart! Fiat!
