Walking With Jesus- Daily Divine Will Devotional From The Writings of Servant Of God Luisa Piccarreta

The three weapons to defeat disturbance. Volume 9
Luisa- As I was in my usual state, it seemed that Jesus made Himself seen for a little, and I said to Him: ‘Life of
my life, my dear Jesus, during these past days I have been disturbed, and You, who have been so jealous
of my peace, have not had a single word for me in these past days to give me that peace which You so
much want.’
Jesus- And He: ‘Ah, my daughter, I was scourging and destroying cities and burying human lives –
this is why I have not come. On this day of respite – for then I will take up the scourge in my hand once
again – immediately I have come to see you again. You must know that if I did not reward the things done
with purity of intention, the upright works, and everything that is done for love of Me, I would fail a duty
of justice, and all of my other attributes would remain obscured. Therefore, these are the three most
powerful weapons to destroy this poisonous and infernal slobber of disturbance.
So, if the necessity to chastise should force Me not to come for a few days, and this air of hell wanted to
invest you, put these three weapons against it: purity of intention, work of victim – upright and good in
itself, and sacrificing yourself for Me with the sole purpose of loving Me, and you will defeat any
disturbance and will cast it away into the deepest hell. And with your indifference you will turn the key so
that it may no longer be able to get out and molest you.”
Scripture Meditation- 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8).
Prayer Reflection- O Lord, we love You, we adore You and we worship You because You give us three weapons to defeat disturbance. And how easily we can fall into disturbance- anxiety, worry, fear especially in these times where it does seem there are chastisements happening. And yet You call us to live in Your Peace! The three weapons are purity of intention, upright works, and sacrificial love of You! So let us examine ourselves- are our intentions pure and if not let us align ourselves to Your Will and not our own which always has some level of self interest. Are we engaging in upright and good works within our state in life and are we offering these actions solely for the love of You? Do we have holy indifference to all else that is not of You? Lord please help us to be pure in heart so that we would see and hear You!
