So today is what would have been our 50th Anniversary- my husband I made it 48.5 earthly years. And I had these big plans to pick readings from the Volumes and Queen Book on marriage and reflect on what was for the most part a blessed and happy marriage because we all have our moments in our own wills. I had written earlier about the graces surrounding Mike’s last hospitalization including a peaceful death. I will link below. I attend a virtual morning cenacle each morning called Morning Glory. We get up, some of us not on the East Coast, way before the break of dawn for our daily manna of the Divine Will from the Book of Heaven. And today a reading really struck me and fit what I was feeling
June 17, 1927- Volume 22
I feel my poor mind as though fixed in the center of the Supreme Fiat, and going about around this center, I
diffused myself in all of Its acts, embracing everyone and everything in the endlessness of Its light. But while doing this, I thought to myself: ‘Why I am to embrace everyone and everything while being in the Divine Will?’ And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:
“My daughter, my Will is everything, there is nothing which does not receive life from It,
there is not one point at which It is not present, there is not one good effect which does not arise from It – everything is Its
own, everything is dependent on It. Therefore, in the soul in whom It reigns, It wants to find everyone and everything that
belongs to It, and if It did not find everyone and everything, It would feel divided in Its empire, separated from Its acts –
which cannot be. This is why, in feeling the life of the Divine Fiat within yourself, together with It you feel everything
and everyone; you feel the life of the sun which gives light, which warms and fecundates, as well as the earth which, in
breathing this light, vegetates, clothes itself with plants and flowers, and, holding hands, earth and sun sustain and delight
all generations. It is my Will that gives life to the sun, that makes the earth breathe to cheer the whole Creation, making
the birds sing, the lambs jump and bleat, and everything that happens in the universe. Do you not want perhaps to feel all
that my Will does?
Further, in this reading which discusses what Saint Hannibal found in Heaven of the Divine Will- “My daughter, even if the soul does not place this intention, everyone
takes part in whatever is done in my Divine Will – and much more do the Blessed, who live in the unity of It. My Will
has Its current everywhere, and with Its unifying strength, It brings to all, as Its own act, whatever the creature does in It.
Only, there is this difference: that if the soul who operates in the Divine Will on earth places the intention of giving
special glory to those who live in the Celestial Fatherland, the Blessed hear themselves being called from Heaven, in the
unity of my Will, by the one who wants to delight them and glorify them more. They look at her with so much love and
pleasure, as to extend their protection, all special, upon her.
Well this is all quite incredible. First of all, all the acts of the past of our marriage- our lives as husband and wife, mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, not to mention best friends and fellow Parrotheads and Star Wars geeks can be placed in the I love You God for every heartbeat, thought, word, deed and breath as if all were done in the Divine Will! And in Heaven, the Blessed benefit from all that we do in the Divine Will, all of our acts! As my husband told me and I talked about in my last blog about him, return on investment!
And this all brings me to a Bible Verse- Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
I was praying at my husband’s grave this morning laying down the red roses that he always bought me every anniversary and this verse came to mind. And more than that mission and conviction. If every act I do down here, or better said that I let Jesus do in me impacts all the blessed in Heaven and the holy souls in Purgatory what am I waiting for! As my husband used to love to say when he handed off any task including our kids, tag you’re it! And tag we are all it so forward always in His Most Holy Divine Will, Fiat!
