Walking With Jesus- Daily Divine Will Devotional From The Writings Of Servant Of God Luisa Piccarreta
November 3, 1919
Taking part in the pains of the state of Victim of Jesus. Volume 12
Luisa- I was concerned about my poor state… The pain of His privation petrifies me, though I remain calm, and all
abandoned in my sweet Jesus. Heaven seems to be closed to me. As for the earth – it is a long time that I have not even
known it; and since I don’t know it, how can I hope for help? So, I do not have even the sweet hope of hoping for help
from the people of this poor world. If I did not have sweet hope in my Jesus, in my Life, in my All, my only and sole
support, I don’t know what I would do.’
Then, seeing that I could not take any more, my always lovable Jesus came, and placing His holy hand on my
forehead in order to give me strength, told me:
Jesus- “Poor daughter! Daughter of my Heart and of my pains – courage, do not
lose heart. Nothing is over for you; on the contrary, when it seems to be over, then it begins. Of all that you are thinking, nothing is true; rather, your current state is nothing other than one point of the state of Victim of my Humanity. Oh, how
many times my Humanity found Itself in these painful constraints! It was identified with my Divinity; even more, It was
one with It. Yet, my Divinity, which held all the power and demanded expiation for the whole human family, made Me
feel the denial, the oblivion, the rigors, the detachment which the whole human nature deserved. These were the most
bitter pains for Me, and the more identified I was with the Divinity, the more painful it was for Me to feel the detachment
while being united; to be loved, and to feel forgotten; to be honored, and experience denial; holy, and see Myself covered
with all sins… What contrast! What pains! So much so, that a miracle of my Omnipotence was needed in order to suffer
this.
Now, my Justice wants the renewal of these pains of my Humanity. And who could ever feel them, if not one who
is identified with Me – honored to the point of being called to live in the height of my Volition, where, from the center of
It, she takes all parts of all generations, unites them together, and repairs Me, loves Me, substitutes for all creatures; and
while doing this, she feels the oblivion, the denial, the detachment of the One Who forms her very Life? These are pains
that only your Jesus can calculate; but in certain circumstances they are necessary to Me, so much so, that I am forced to
hide you more within Me so as not to make you feel all the bitterness of the pain; and while I hide you, I repeat what my
Humanity did and suffered.
Therefore, calm yourself; this state will end, to make you pass on to other steps of my Humanity. When you feel
that you cannot take any more, abandon yourself more in Me, and you will feel your Jesus praying, suffering, repairing;
and you – follow Me. I will be the actor and you the spectator; and when you feel restored, you will take the part of the
actor, and I, that of spectator – so, we will alternate with each other.”
Scripture Meditation– 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. (Hebrews 2:17-18).
Prayer Reflection- O Lord we praise You, we adore You, and we love You because You became like us in every respect including in suffering pain and the rigors as You tell us that humanity deserved. You were fully God and fully man and yet You experienced being forgotten and rejected to the point of suffering death on a Cross. And You ask us, while fused with You, to feel those pains and those denials given to You in Your Humanity. We can feel like Heaven is closed and yet we know our hope is no longer in the world. We know our hope in in You. You ask us to follow You in praying, suffering, and repairing and to abandon ourselves in You. You ask us to follow You wherever You would lead us trusting in You!. And we know that fused with You, we can follow You into any sorrow or suffering that we may be experiencing because You have gone before us and You can help and restore us. So let us trust You Lord no matter what we are feeling or facing- sometimes You are asking us to console You and share in Your Humanity for the good of all and sometimes we are just stuck in our own moods but either way we know You bring all together for good for those who love You! (Romans 8:28) so let us live always abandoned in the Divine Will!
