Walking with Jesus-Divine Will Calendar from the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

August 4, 1925
One who does the Divine Will is in continuous communication with all created things, and is sustained by all of Creation–Volume 17

Luisa- After going through various days of total privation of my most sweet Jesus, I kept repeating my sorrowful refrain:
‘Everything is over for me. Ah, I will never see Him again! I will never again hear His voice, which so much delighted
me! Ah, I have been abandoned by the One who formed all my contentment and was Everything to me! What a long
martyrdom! What a life without life – without Jesus!’
But while my heart was drowned in pains, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and taking me in His
arms, He placed my arms around His neck, and I abandoned my head upon His breast, in an act which expressed that I
could not take it anymore.

And Jesus, squeezing me tightly to Himself, leaned His knees on my breast, pressing very
intensely, and said to me: “My daughter, you must die continuously.” And while he was saying this, He made me share in
various pains.

Jesus- Then, assuming a more affable look, added: “My daughter, what do you fear, if the Power of my Will is in
you? It is so true that my Will is in you, that in one instant It transformed you into my pains, and you offered yourself to
receive them with love. While you were suffering, you stretched out your arms to embrace my Will; and as you embraced
It, everything that lives in my Will – the Angels, the Saints, my Celestial Mama, and the very Divinity – felt the grip of
your embrace, and they all ran toward you to embrace you; and in chorus, they said: ‘How pleasing and dear is the
embrace of our little exiled, who lives on earth in order to do the Will of God alone, just as we do it in Heaven! She is our
joy; she is the new and only feast which comes to us from the earth.’Oh, if you knew what it means for a soul to live in my Will! There is no division between her and Heaven.
Wherever my Will is, she is. Her acts, her pains, her words, are in act and operative in every place in which my Will is.
And since my Will is everywhere, the soul places herself in the order of creation, and through the electricity of the
Supreme Will, she is in communication with all created things. Just as the created things are in order and harmony among
themselves, each one is the support of the other, and not one of them can move; and if even one thing created by Me
moved – may this never be – the Creation would become all upset; there is a secret accord among them, a mysterious
force, such that, while all the spheres live in the space, suspended in the air, without any support, by the power of
communication which they have among themselves, each thing sustains the other – in the same way, one who does my
Will is in communication with all, and is sustained by all the works of her Creator. Therefore, everyone recognizes her,
loves her, and offers her the electricity, the secret, in order to live together with them, suspended between Heaven and
earth, all sustained only by the power of the Divine and Supreme Will.”

Scripture Meditation- ¹⁸ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹ For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; ²⁰ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; ²¹ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Romans 8:18-21).

Prayer Reflection- O Lord, we love You, we bless You and we adore You. Because so many times like Luisa we feel like we can take no more. And yet, in Your Will, there are not only consolations but there is suffering in union with You which may not feel good at the time, but is always allowed for our good (Romans 8:28). You ask us Lord why should we fear if we are in Your Will- the angels, saints, and the Blessed Mother are watching and cheering us on in our exile! And in Your Will we are fused into all creation, Your creation which has been waiting with eager longing for this revealing of the sons of God, which are the Children of the Divine Will! In Your Will we are in communication with all- all of creation and all the acts of redemption and sanctification, if we surrender all of our suffering in union with You! So let us not lose heart because our sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed when Your Kingdom comes to reign on Earth as it is in Heaven!
