Walking With Jesus-Daily Divine Will Calendar From The Writings Of Servant Of God Luisa Piccarreta
October 9, 1921
The will of man is that which makes him more like His Creator. The human will is the
depository of all the works of man. Volume 13
Jesus- Then He added: “The will of man is that which makes him more like His Creator. In the human will I placed part
of my Immensity and of my Power, and giving it the place of honor, I constituted it queen of the whole of man and
depository of all of his works. Just as creatures have chests in which they keep their things to maintain them secured, the
soul has her will in which to keep and secure all that she thinks, says and does. Not even one thought will be lost. What
she cannot do with her eyes, with her mouth, with her works, she can do with her will – in one instant she can will a
thousand goods and a thousand evils. The will makes her thought fly up to Heaven, to the farthest places and deep into the abysses. She might be prevented from working, from seeing, from speaking, but she can do all this in her will. Whatever she does and wants, forms an act which remains deposited in her own will. Oh, how the will can be expanded! How much good and how much evil can it not contain? This is why, among all things, I want the will of man: because if I have this, I have everything – the fortress is conquered
Scripture Meditation- 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” (Revelation 3:20-22).
Prayer Reflection- O Lord we love You, we bless You, and we adore You because You have given us free will and with it we can will a thousand goods and a thousand evils. With our will our thoughts either rise to Heaven or they keep us captive. Not one thought of ours is lost. Kind of scary when we consider how many of our thoughts are downright negative- full of pride, judgement, and self focus. Lord even when we cannot work or even be able to see or speak as You tell us- as we grow older or perhaps are sidelined by illness or circumstances beyond our control, we have our human will with which we can love You and others. And yet to whom do we belong? Does our will belong to You and only to You? Today Lord, in the Gospel we hear about how You can clean out our houses so to speak, we can repent of sin and go to confession, but if we leave that house empty we can end up worse than before. (Luke 11) Why? Because we still have not let You conquer the fortress of our human wills. So Lord purify us of all sin but also heal us and sanctify us so that we may we live fused in Your Holy Divine Will on Earth as it is in Heaven.
