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

August 13, 1921
Sadness does not enter into the Divine Will.
The Divine Will contains the substance of all joys, and the fount of all happinesses

Luisa- I was feeling very afflicted, and my lovable Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:

Jesus- “My daughter, courage, I don’t
want you afflicted; because for one who lives in my Will, the smile of Heaven, the contentment of the Blessed, the peace
of the Saints caress the whole of her being. My Will contains the substance of all joys, the fount of all happinesses, and
one who lives in my Will, even in sorrow, feels pain and joy, tears and smile, bitterness and sweetness, kneaded together
within her. Contentment is inseparable from my Will.
You must know that as you think in my Will, as you speak, as you work, as you love, etc., you deliver to my Will
as many children for as many thoughts as you make, for as many words as you say, for as many works and acts of love as
you emit. These children multiply to the infinite in my Will and go around throughout Heaven and through the entire
earth, bringing new joy, new glory and contentment to Heaven, and new grace to the earth; going through all hearts,
carrying my sighs, my moans, the pleas of their Mother who wants them saved, and who wants to give them Her Life.
Now, these children, birth from my Will, in order to be recognized as my children, must resemble and have the
same manners of the Mother who delivered them. If they look sad, they will be put out of Heaven, being told: ‘Sadness
cannot enter our Residence’. They will not find their way into the creatures, because in seeing them sad, creatures will
doubt that they are true legitimate children of my Will. Besides, one who is sad does not have the grace to creep into
others, to conquer them and dominate them. One who is sad is not capable of heroism, and of giving himself for the good
of all. Many times these children are aborted, dying during labor, without coming out to the light of the Divine Will.”

Scripture Meditation- ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27).

Prayer Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because You comfort us in all of our afflictions- You are close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Yet You also tell us in Your Word and today in this calendar reading that we can actually let our hearts be troubled. We can let them be afraid and sad. Yet in Your Will we are surrounded by the smile of Heaven, the contentment of the Blessed, the peace of the Saints. And sadness just cannot enter in. You tell us that contentment is inseparable from Your Will! As St. Paul tells us we can be content in all circumstances (Philippians 4:11). And when we perform our daily acts in Your Will- all of our thoughts, words, and deeds, these acts are multiplied and are as children. brought into the light to bring new joy, new glory and contentment to Heaven, and new grace to the earth in all hearts! Our sorrows, and we all have them, live side by side in Your Will with joys and the founts of all happiness in union with Yours. Joyful, sorrowful, glorious- repeat! Even in our deepest pain we can at the same time be at peace in Your Will because You have prepared a place for us not only in Heaven (John 14) but also on Earth in Your Most Holy Divine Will so that Your Kingdom would reign in all hearts! Fiat!
