Walking With Jesus-Daily Divine Will Calendar from The Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

How in the Divine Will our pains are together with those of Jesus- Volume 11

Luisa- Continuing in my usual state, I was feeling embittered because of the privation of my lovable Jesus, and
I was lamenting to Him that each privation He caused me was a death that He gave me – and a cruel death, such
that while one feels death, one cannot die. And I said: ‘How can You have the heart to give me so many
deaths?’

Jesus- And Jesus, in passing, told me: “My daughter, do not lose heart; when my Humanity was on earth It
contained all the lives of creatures, and these lives came all from Me. But how many of them would not return
into Me because they would die and bury themselves in hell – and I felt the death of each one, which tormented
my Humanity. These deaths were the most sorrowful and cruel pain of my whole life, up to my last breath. My
daughter, don’t you want to take part in my pains? The death you feel because of my privation is nothing but a
shadow of the pains of death which I felt because of the loss of souls. Therefore, give it to Me to sweeten the so
many cruel deaths that my Humanity suffered. Let this pain flow in my Will, and you will find Mine; and
uniting with it, it will run for the good of all, especially for those who are about to fall into the abyss. If you
keep it for yourself, clouds will form between you and Me, and the current of my Will will be broken between
you and Me; your pains will not find Mine, you will not be able to diffuse yourself for the good of all, and will
feel all the weight of it. On the other hand, if you think of how to let everything which you may suffer flow in
my Will, there will be no clouds for you, the very pains will bring you light, and will open new currents of
union, of love and of graces.

Scripture- Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions,
    he was bruised for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that made us whole,
    and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-6).

Prayer Reflection- O my Jesus we praise You, we bless You, and we adore You because Your Humanity contained all creatures, though not all would return to You. What sorrow! My Jesus we all have our sorrows and griefs that are hard to bear. This life is a valley of tears. Illness, depression, children not on the right track, financial troubles, grief, loneliness, old age, and fear and anxiety about all of it. We waste all of it if we keep it to ourselves, even when it is hard to do anything but turn inward. We do not realize we are forming clouds that make it harder to see You in our pains let alone allow You to work in our circumstances. So let us unite all of our sorrows to Your Humanity, letting them flow in Your Divine Will and united to Your Sufferings, let them come to the aid of all including all of those loved ones we are so worried about. By Your stripes we are healed and so is all humanity in the Divine Will! Fiat!
