The Soul who Lives in the Divine Will Acquires Divine Senses

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

Luisa bookV36 – 4.12.38 – “My blessed daughter of My Will, how many Wonders My Will can make in the creature, as long as she gives It the first place and all the freedom to Operate. My Will takes the will, the word, the act that the creature wants to do, as part of Itself—covers it with Its Creative Virtue, pronounces Its Fiat in it, and forms as many Lives for as many existing creatures.   You were asking in My Will for the Baptism of all newborn babies that will come to the light of the day—and then, for Its Life to Reign in them. My Will did not hesitate for a instant; soon it pronounced Its Fiat and formed as many Lives from Itself for as many newborn babies coming to the light—Baptizing them, as you wanted, with Its First Light, and then giving each one of them Its Life. If these newborn babies, for lack of Knowledge, will not possess Our Life, this Life still remains for Us, and We will have many Divine Lives that Love Us, glorify Us, bless Us, as We do Ourselves. These Divine Lives are Our Greatest Glory, but they don’t put aside the creature who gave Our Fiat the opportunity to form so many of Our Lives for these newborn babies who are coming to the light; rather, they keep her hidden in themselves to let her Love as they Love, and let her do what they do. Neither would they set the newborn babies aside; rather, they would give them so much attention, guard and defend them as to be able to Reign in their souls.

“My daughter, who can tell you how much We Love this creature who Lives in Our Will? We Love her so much that We leave Our Will in her power to let her do what she wants. If she wants to form Our Lives, We let her do that; if she wants to fill Heaven and earth with Our Love, We give her the Freedom to do it—so much so, that she can make everyone say that they Love Us. We even hear the ‘I love You’ of one who Lives in Our Will in the little bird that trills and warbles and sings. If in the ardor of her love she wants to love more, she can enter Our Creative Act and delight herself with New Suns, Heavens and Stars, making Us say, Unceasingly, ‘I Love you, I Love you,’ and taking part in narrating Our Glory. In Our Will the sight is long and all attentive to see what she wants and how she can love Us more.”

My God, how many Wonders, how many Surprises there are in Your Will. Its Sweet Enchantment is so great that not only does one remain captivated, but as if embalmed—Transformed in the Wonders of the Fiat in such a way that one doesn’t know how to get out of It. So, I was thinking to myself: what is be the difference between one who Lives in the Divine Will, one who is resigned to the painful circumstances of life and one who doesn’t do the Divine Will at all?

My sweet Jesus, coming back added: “My blessed daughter, the difference is so big that there is no comparison at all. One who Lives in My Will has Dominion over all and We Love her so much that We even let her dominate Ourselves. We are so pleased in seeing the little creature dominating Us that We feel unusual Joy, because We see that Our Will Dominates in the creature and she dominates together with Our Will. O!, how many times We let her win. Many times Our Joy is so Great that We let Our Will win in the creature instead of in Ourselves. Further, by Living in the Divine Will—being in continuous contact with It—she acquires Divine Senses. She acquires a long sight. Her light is so penetrating and clear, that she can even fix herself in God, in whom she sees the Divine Mysteries. She can touch Our Sanctity and Beauty, Loving them and possessing them. With this Eye of Light she can find her Creator everywhere—there’s nothing in which she can’t find Him. With His Majesty and His Love, He bundles the creature and makes her feel how much He Loves her. In feeling her love, He Loves her and, O! how Unspeakable the Joys on both parts—feeling His Love and loving Him in everything. She acquires Divine Hearing, and soon she hears what We want; she is always intent on listening to Us, and there is no need to repeat again and again what We want. A small sign is enough and all is done.

“She acquires a Divine Sense of Smell. By merely smelling she feels whether what is around her is Good, Holy and belongs to Us.   She acquires Divine Taste—to the extent that she fills herself with Love and all that is Heaven.   Finally, in Our Will she acquires Our Touch, so that all is Pure and Holy, and there is no fear that even the smallest breath may shade her—all Beautiful, lovely and pretty—the one who Lives in My Fiat.

“On the other hand, one who is only resigned does not live in continuous contact with Us. It can be said that she does not know anything about Our Supreme Being. Her sight is so weak and sickly, that it is painful for her even to look. She suffers from the last stage of myopia, and she can hardly see even the most necessary things. She can hardly hear, and how very much it takes to make her listen—if she listens at all. Her smell, taste and touch sense what is human. She feeds herself with earthly things—feels the touch of passions, and the sweetness of mundane pleasures. She doesn’t even do My Will every day, but only in painful circumstances and encounters, when My Will offers her a suffering. O, poor creatures without My continuous Will. How weak they grow—so nervous and ill as to move to pity! How I pity them. Finally, one who is not even resigned—blind and with no sense of smell, loses the taste for every good. She is a poor paralytic who can’t really help herself. She imprisons herself in a web of unhappiness and sins, and is not able to get out.”

ARROW OF DIVINE LOVE

 

St. Raphael Arrow of LoveFROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

V1 – “Everything that is of the earth, everything – everything you must remove, not only from your heart, but also from your body. You cannot understand how harmful are the slightest earthly shadows, and how much they hinder Love.” Immediately I said to Him: ‘If I have something else that must be removed, tell me, for I am ready to do it.’ But as I was saying this, I myself realized that I had a gold ring at my finger, portraying the Image of the Crucifix; and immediately I said to Him: ‘Holy Spouse, do you want me to take it off?’ And He told me: “Since I Myself will Give you a More Precious, More Beautiful Ring, which will have My Living Image Impressed on it, and every time you will look at it your heart will receive New Arrows of Love – this one is not necessary.” And I promptly removed it.”

V17 – October 17, 1924 – “…I, Who AM the True Sun of the souls, do not leave them, either at night or at daytime. I Myself form the souls; I give them the water of My Grace so as not to let them wither; I Nourish them with the Light of My Truths; I Strengthen them with My Examples; I give them the Zephyr of My Caresses to Purify them, the dew of My Charisms to Embellish them, the Arrows of My Love to Warm them. In sum, there is nothing I do not do for them: I AM Everything for them, and I place My Whole Life at the creature’s disposal, for her own Good.”

V33 – March 25, 1934 – My tongue Speaks and it Generates Words that give Life, Sublime Teachings; it Generates Prayers; it Speaks and Generates Wounds and Arrows of Love in order to give the Generation of My Ardent Love to everyone, and to make Me Loved by everyone.

V34 – December 20, 1936 –There is no creature in whom She does not take the pledge of Loving Us.’ Our Fiat elevated Her so much, as to give everything to Her. And even from the first instant of Her Life, We constituted Her Queen of Our Fiat, Queen of Our Love. And when She Loved Us, Her Maternity was felt in Her Love, and it harmonized with the Love of all creatures. And O! how Beautiful it was that She formed of everything One Single Love. How She Wounded Us, Felicitated Us, even to feeling Ourselves languish.

“Her Love disarmed Us, it made us see all created things—sky, sun, earth, seas, and creatures—covered and hidden in Her Love. O! how Beautiful it was to see Her, feel Her, that She acted as Mother in every creature, and forming in them Her Sea of Love, She sent Her notes, Her arrows, Her Loving darts to Her Creator. And acting as True Mother She brought them to Us, even to before Our Throne, in the Sea of Her Love, in order to make Us look at them, so as to render Us Favorable. And with the Strength of Our Divine Volition She imposed Herself over Us, She placed them in Our Arms, She made Us caress and kiss them, and She made Us give Surprising Graces. How many Sanctities were formed and impetrated by this Celestial Mother, and in order to be sure, Her Love remained to watch.”

V34 – March 22, 1937 – “…One can say that the Divine Love is so much that It shakes, It moves in an irresistible way, as to makes Itself Loved. The arrows of Love that It sends in order to dart the creatures, serve them in order to wound with those arrows He who had wounded them.

Now, while I found myself under this abyss of Love, my dear Jesus, my sweet Life, surprising me, told me: “Daughter of My Will, you must know that Our Love is so much, that if unhappiness or anxiousness could enter Our Divine Being, that which cannot be, it would render the Divine Being the most unhappy and restless being. Since We Love with Infinite and Unceasing Love, that can drown everything and everyone with Our Love, so We feel the need of being Loved in return. But alas, We wait in vain, and Our Love moans, It goes into delirium, and instead of stopping It runs even more. But do you know where Our Love goes to unload Itself and to pause to rest a little in order to immediately take Its Flight so as to pour out Its continuous Love? In the souls who Live in My Will. Because they are already drowned in My Love, they feel My moans, My need of being Loved in return, and they immediately reciprocate Me in Love. And as We feel the need of being Loved in return, so they feel the necessity, the need of being Loved by He who Loves them so much.

“Now, My daughter, Our Volition circulates like blood in all the hearts of creatures. In the whole Creation, there is no point where It is not found, Its Center is extendable to everything, and with Its Powerful and Creating Love, as within one single breath, It Conserves and gives Life to everything and everyone, and It develops Its Life of Love in everything. In fact, why does It Create? Because It Loves. Why does It Conserve and circulate in everyone? Because It Loves. Now We want to feel that one who Lives in Our Volition Loves Us in all hearts. How beautiful is the note of Love of the creature in every heart, that if these do not love Us, she is who Loves Us. In the past and in the future, We want to feel that she Loves Us. In the sky, in the sun, in the wind, in the sea, in everything, We want her note of Love.

“More so, because Our Will transports her everywhere. Living in It, the First Gift that It makes her is Love. But It gives so much as to be able to receive the reciprocation of Love from everyone and everything. So much is the delirium of Love of Our Divine Fiat, that It transports this note of Love from the creature even into the Empyrean, and It says to all the Blessed: ‘Hear how Beautiful is the note of Love of the one who Lives in My Will on earth.’ And It makes this Loving note resound in the Saints, in the Angels, in the Virgin, in the Most Holy Trinity, in a way that everyone feels Double Glory and they celebrate the Divine Will Operating in the creature, and together they celebrate the creature who has let It Operate such that she is on the earth, and she becomes celebrated in Heaven.

“My Divine Will would not tolerate that one who Lives in It would not give It the exchange of Love for everything and everyone. My Divine Fiat finds everything that It wants in the Love of the creature. It finds her life as Its; It finds the Glory that is due It; It finds the appreciation, the esteem, that is owed to It; It finds the true filial trust in order to be able to give her everything. In fact, Love is Generative, such that It Generates all the Divine Goods. Therefore, My daughter, be attentive. You Love and Love in My Will, and you will find so much Love, that you will be able to Love everyone, and Love for everyone, He who Loves you so much.”

Paragraph 2745 – IV. Persevering in Love

2745    Prayer and Christian life are inseparable, for they concern the same love and the same renunciation, proceeding from love; the same filial and loving conformity with the Father’s plan of love; the same transforming union in the Holy Spirit who conforms us more and more to Christ Jesus; the same love for all men, the love with which Jesus has loved us. “Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he [will] give it to you. This I command you, to love one another.”41 (2660)

Paragraph 52 – I. God Reveals His “Plan of Loving Goodness”

52      God, who “dwells in unapproachable light,” wants to communicate his own divine life to the men he freely created, in order to adopt them as his sons in his only-begotten Son.3 By revealing himself God wishes to make them capable of responding to him, and of knowing him, and of loving him far beyond their own natural capacity.

2 Corinthians 2:11 – For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.

Collosians 1:15 – Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

Wisdom 6 – [18] For the beginning of her is the most true desire of discipline. [19] And the care of discipline is love: and love is the keeping of her laws: and the keeping of her laws is the firm foundation of incorruption: [20] And incorruption bringeth near to God.

[21] Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to the everlasting kingdom. [22] If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever. [23] Love the light of wisdom, all ye that bear rule over peoples.

Luisa’s Prayer for Dying Souls

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

Luisa holding CrucifixVOL. 35 – February 20, 1938 – Jesus kept silent. I remained with the scene before my mind, of so many Jesuses for as many existing creatures. But I had a thorn in my heart that tortured me and embittered me-down to the marrow of my bones-for a person very dear to me, and necessary to my poor existence, who was in danger of death, and I wanted to save this person at any cost.

Therefore, I took the Divine Will, I made It all mine, and in my pain I said to Jesus: ‘Jesus, Your Will is mine. Your Power and Immensity are in my power. I don’t want it, so neither must You want it.’   My God, I felt as if I were battling a Power; and in order to win, my mind had brought itself before the Divinity, while I was placing around It the expanse of Heaven with all the stars in prayer, the vastness of the light of the sun with the force of its heat, the entire Creation-in prayer; and also the seas of Power and Love of the Queen of Heaven, the Pains and the Blood shed by Jesus, like many seas around the Divinity-all in prayer; and then the many Jesuses for each creature, so that they might give a sigh-a prayer, to obtain what I wanted… But what was not my surprise and commotion together, in seeing and hearing that the many Jesuses of all the creatures prayed to obtain what I wanted? I remained confused in seeing so much Goodness and Divine Compliance. May He always be thanked and blessed. And may all be for His Glory.

DIVINE SWEETNESS

Guardian angelFROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

V7 – DECEMBER 3, 1906 – “…Everything in you must be sweetness and peace, in such a way that it may be said of you that which is said about Me: that nothing but milk and honey flows within Me, symbolizing sweetness with honey, and peace with milk. I am so filled and soaked with them, that they pour out from my eyes, from my mouth, and from all of my works. And if you are not likewise, I feel dishonored by you, because, while the One who is all peace and sweetness dwells within you, you do not honor Me by showing even the slightest shadow of a resentful and restless heart. I love this sweetness and peace so much, that even if it were about something great concerning my honor and glory, I do not want, I never approve, resentful, violent, fiery manners, but rather, sweet and peaceful manners. In fact, sweetness alone is that which binds hearts like a chain, in such a way that they cannot unbind themselves. It is like pitch that sticks to them and they cannot free themselves, and are forced to say: ‘In this soul there is the finger of God, for we cannot act otherwise.’ And then, if I do not like a resentful manner, not even creatures will like it. If one speaks about or deals with things, even of God, with manners that are not sweet and peaceful, it is a sign that he does not have his passions in order; and one who does not keep himself in order, cannot order others. Therefore, be careful with anything which is not sweetness and peace, if you do not want to dishonor Me”

V10 – October 26, 1911 – “My daughter, I can pour out bitternesses with everyone, but the Outpourings of Love, the Sweetnesses, I can pour only into one who Loves Me and who is all Love for Me. Don’t you know that Love too is a Necessity for Me, and that I Need it more than anything?”

V20 – November 1, 1926“Oh! how the sun—or rather, My Will in the sun—through plants, fruits and flowers, offers true terrestrial happiness to the human generations. And if they do not enjoy it fully, it is because they have moved away from that Will that reigns in the sun; and the human will, placing itself against the Divine, breaks its happiness. And My Will, veiled in the light of the sun, while loving and singing the praises of Our Divine Qualities, from the height of its sphere says to man: ‘In everything you do, be always light, just as I am, so that the light may convert you completely into heat, and you may become as one single flame of love for your Creator. Look at me: by being always light and heat, I possess sweetness; so much so, that I communicate it to the plants, and from the plants to you. You too, if you are always light and heat, will possess the Divine Sweetness; you will have no more bile and angers in your heart; you will possess the flavors and the different tints of the Beauties of the Supreme Being. You will be sun like me; more so, since God made me for you, and you were made for Him, therefore it is right that you be more sun than I.’

“See, My daughter, how many things you have to do united with My Will in that sphere of the sun. You have to sing the praises, love and glorify Our Light, Our Love, Our infinite Sweetnesses, Our Innumerable Flavors and Our Incomprehensible Beauty. And you have to impetrate for creatures all the Divine Qualities that the sun contains, so that, in finding the Divine Qualities in their midst, My Will may come to reign unveiled, with Its full triumph, into the midst of the human generations.

V28 – September 20, 1930 – “…courage, abandon yourself into My Arms, and I will make more Light, more Refulgent, Arise from My Divine Will; and as It takes the form of cradle, I will Rock you in It to Communicate to you My Divine Rest. And with Its light and with Its heat, It will destroy the slow poison of your bitternesses, changing them into Sweetnesses and into Fount of Contentments. And resting in the cradle of My Divine Will, you will take sweet rest; and upon waking up, you will find that bitternesses and oppressions have been cast away from you, and I will keep you in My Arms with your usual Sweetness and Serenity, to make the Life of My Divine Will Grow more in you.”

V33 – July 8, 1934 – “The sun would be an image. If its light did not possess heat, sweetness, tastes, fragrances, colors, it would not be able to form the beautiful rainbow of colors, the variety of sweetnesses, the suavity of its tastes and fragrances. If it gives them to the earth, it is because it possesses them, and if it did not possess them, it would not be true life of light, but light sterile and without fecundity.

            “The same for the creature, if she does not cede the place of her whole interior to My Will, she will not be able to posses Its Love that is never extinguished, the Divine Sweetnesses and Tastes, and everything that composes the Life of My Will. Therefore do not keep back anything of yours for yourself, and you will give Us the great glory of having a Life of Our Will on earth, veiled by your mortal covering, and you the Great Good of possessing It. You will feel flow in your covering, as rapid sea, the Happiness, the Joys, the Firmness in Good, the Love that always Loves, the Sweetnesses, the Taste. The Conquests of your Jesus will also be yours. Your coverings will continue the Office of sufferings down here, but they will have a Life of Divine Will that will sustain them, and it will serve to develop the Life of Its Divine Conquests and Victories in the human coverings. Therefore, always forward in My Will.”

Paragraph 163 – III. The Characteristics of Faith

163      Faith makes us taste in advance the light of the beatific vision, the goal of our journey here below. Then we shall see God “face to face,” “as he is.”

PSALMS  30:20 – O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.

JOEL 3:17,18 – [17]And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall pass through it no more. [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda:

WISODM 16:20,21

[20]Instead of which things thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.

[21] For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man’ s will, it was turned to what every man liked.

ETERNAL MEASURE

LoveFROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

V9 – October 17, 1910 – “My daughter, I do not look so much at the sacrifices, but at the love with which they are made and at the union with Me that they have. So, the more the soul is united with Me, the more I take into account her sacrifices. If the soul is more tightly united with Me, I take great account of her littlest sacrifices, because in the union there is the measure of love, and the measure of love is eternal measure, which has no end and no boundaries. On the other hand, with a soul who may sacrifice herself very much but is not united with Me, I look at her sacrifice as that of a stranger, and I give her the remuneration she deserves – a limited one.

V13 – January 20, 1922 – Wanting to have one’s own merits is of servants, of slaves – not of children. What belongs to the father, belongs to his children. Besides, what are all the merits that you could acquire compared to one single Act of My Will? All merits have their own little value, weight and measure; but who could ever measure one single Act of My Will? No one – no one. And then, what are your merits compared to Mine? In My Will you will find them all, and I make of you the owner. Aren’t you happy?

V20 – October 15, 1926 – ‘My Kingdom is in the midst of My children, and right within their inmost acts.’ In fact, as much as the creature takes of My Will, so much do I extend My Kingdom in her, and she extends her Kingdom in My Will; but according to how much she lets Me dominate in her acts, so does she expand her boundaries in My Kingdom, and I give, and she takes more joy, more happiness, more goods, and more glory.

“In fact, it is established that in the Celestial Fatherland they will receive as much glory, beatitude and happiness, for as much of My Will as they have enclosed in their souls on earth. Their glory will be measured by that very Will of Mine that their souls will possess; nor will they be able to receive more, because their capacity and wideness is formed by that very Divine Will that they have done and possessed while living on earth. And even if My liberality wanted to give them more, they would lack the space to contain it, and it would overflow outside.

V20 – November 3, 1926 – “The more the soul possesses of My Will, the more value her prayers, her works, her pains, contain; and so she can bring more relief to those blessed souls (souls in Purgatory). I measure and give value to everything that the soul can do, according to how much of My Will she possesses. If My Will runs in all of her acts, the measure I take is immense; even more, I never stop measuring, and I put so much value into it, that its weight cannot be calculated. On the other hand, if one does not care much about My Will, the measure is scarce and the value of little importance. And if one does not care at all, as much as the soul may do, I have nothing to measure, nor any value to give. Therefore, if they have no value, how can they bring relief to those souls who, in Purgatory, recognize nothing, nor can they receive anything, but what My Eternal Fiat produces.

Paragraph 760 – II. The Church’s Origin, Foundation, and Mission

God created the world for the sake of communion with his divine life, a communion brought about by the “convocation” of men in Christ, and this “convocation” is the Church. The Church is the goal of all things,154 and God permitted such painful upheavals as the angels’ fall and man’s sin only as occasions and means for displaying all the power of his arm and the whole measure of the love he wanted to give the world: (294, 309)

Paragraph 2045 – III. Moral Life and Missionary Witness

2045    Because they are members of the Body whose Head is Christ,89 Christians contribute to building up the Church by the constancy of their convictions and their moral lives. The Church increases, grows, and develops through the holiness of her faithful, until “we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”90 (753, 828)

Matthew 7:2 – For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Mark 4:24 – And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.

GOD COMMUNICATES HIS DIVINE LOVE AND BEAUTY

September 21

maria_y_jesus2V7 – February 28, 1906 – God communicates His Grace, and the Grace of truth, in such a way that the soul can see the truth in everything without deceit, without darkness. And here is how, what God is by nature – eternal Truth which cannot deceive nor be deceived – the soul becomes by Grace. That is to say, the soul feels detachment from the things of the earth, she sees their fleetingness, their instability, how everything is false, everything is rot, which deserves to be abhorred rather than loved. While the soul feels this state, God communicates His Grace, and the Grace of true love and of eternal love; He communicates His beauty, in such a way as to make the loving soul go mad, and the soul remains filled with the love and the beauty of God. And here is how, what God is by nature – love and eternal beauty – the soul becomes by Grace;…”

Paragraph 1701 – ARTICLE 1 MAN: THE IMAGE OF GOD CCC

1701    “Christ,… in the very revelation of the mystery of the Father and of his love, makes man fully manifest to himself and brings to light his exalted vocation.”2 It is in Christ, “the image of the invisible God,”3 that man has been created “in the image and likeness” of the Creator. It is in Christ, Redeemer and Savior, that the divine image, disfigured in man by the first sin, has been restored to its original beauty and ennobled by the grace of God.4 (359)

Isaiah – 35-2: It shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God.

John 14:23 – Jesus answered, and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him.

OUR JUST GOD

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth.  Jeremiah 23:5

V2 – February 28, 1899 – “…Now, let us go back again to the idea of food: by taking food, the body is not only sustained, but shares in the substance of the food, which transforms into the body itself. The same for the soul who Lives of Faith: since Faith is God Himself, the soul comes to Live of God Himself; and by nourishing herself with God, she comes to share in the substance of God; and by sharing in Him, she comes to resemble Him and to be transformed with God Himself. Therefore, it happens to the soul who lives of Faith, that, just as God is holy, the soul is holy; powerful God – powerful the soul; Wise, Strong and Just God – Wise, Strong and Just the soul; and so with all the other Attributes of God. In sum, the soul becomes a little god. Oh, the Blessedness of this soul on earth, to then be more Blessed in Heaven!

V2 – August 10, 1899 – “The Daughter of Justice is Truth. Just as I AM the Eternal Truth, and I do not deceive, nor can I deceive, in the same way, the soul who possesses Justice makes Truth shine in all of her actions. Therefore, since she knows by experience the True Light of Truth, if someone wants to deceive her, since that Light which she feels within herself is missing, she immediately recognizes the deceit. And so it happens that with this Light of Truth she deceives neither herself, nor her neighbor, nor can she be deceived. The Fruit produced by this Justice and by this Truth is Simplicity, which is another quality of My Being – being Simple; so much so, that I penetrate everywhere; there is nothing that can prevent Me from penetrating inside of it. I penetrate into Heaven and into the abysses, into good and into evil; but My Being, which is most Simple, by penetrating even into evil, does not get dirty; even more, it does not receive the slightest shadow. In the same way, through Justice and Truth, gathering this Beautiful Fruit of Simplicity within herself, the soul penetrates into Heaven, she enters into hearts to lead them to Me, she penetrates into everything that is good; and if she finds herself with sinners and sees the evil that they do, she does not get dirty because, being Simple, she immediately brushes it off, without receiving any harm. Simplicity is so Beautiful, that My Heart is wounded at one gaze alone of a Simple soul. She is the admiration of Angels and men.”

V2 – October 14, 1899 – “Peace, Peace, Peace, don’t you know that the Kingdom of Hope is a Kingdom of Peace, and that the Right of this Hope is Justice? You, when you see that My Justice Arms Itself against the people – enter into the Kingdom of Hope, and investing yourself with the most Powerful Qualities she possesses, rise up to My Throne and do as much as you can to Disarm the Armed Arm. And you will do this with the most Eloquent, the most Tender, the most Compassionate Voices, with the most Compelling Reasons, with the most Heated Prayers, which Hope Herself will Dictate to you. But when you see that Hope Herself is about to support certain Rights of Justice which are Absolutely Necessary, and wanting to give them up would be wanting to give affront to herself, which cannot be – then Conform to Me and Surrender to Justice.”

Paragraph 1807 – I. The Human Virtues

1807    Justice is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor. Justice toward God is called the “virtue of religion.” Justice toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to the common good. The just man, often mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, is distinguished by habitual right thinking and the uprightness of his conduct toward his neighbor. “You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.”68 “Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.”69 (2095, 2401)

 Paragraph 1060 – VI. The Hope of the New Heaven and the New Earth 2854

1060  At the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness. Then the just will reign with Christ for ever, glorified in body and soul, and the material universe itself will be transformed. God will then be “all in all” (1 Cor 15:28), in eternal life.

Paragraph 271 – IV. The Divine Works and the Trinitarian Missions

271      God’s almighty power is in no way arbitrary: “In God, power, essence, will, intellect, wisdom, and justice are all identical. Nothing therefore can be in God’s power which could not be in his just will or his wise intellect.”110

Job 31:6 – Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.

2 Thessalonians 1:5 – For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which also you suffer.

Daniel 9:14 – And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord our God is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice.

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

V25 – 2.27.29 – “Now, the effects of My Fiat are given to those who do My Divine Will, who adore Its dispositions, who bear with patience what It wants. By doing so, the creature recognizes that there is this Supreme Will, and by seeing Itself recognized, It does not deny to her It admirable effects. On the other hand, one who must live in My Divine Volition must possess within herself the whole life and not only the effects—but the life with all the effects of My Divine Fiat. And since there is no sanctity, past, present and future, of which My Divine Will has not been the primary cause, in forming all the species of sanctity that exist, It therefore holds within Itself all the goods and effects of sanctity that It has issued; and so, the soul who will live in My Will, by possessing Its life with all Its effects, will see within herself, all together, all the sanctities that have been issued.

“She will be able to say: ‘The others have done one part of sanctity, while I have done everything, I have enclosed everything within myself of all that each Saint has done.’ Therefore, the sanctity of the ancients, that of the prophets, that of the martyrs will be seen in her; the sanctity of the penitents, the great sanctities as well as the small ones will be seen. Not only this, but the whole Creation will be seen portrayed in her. In fact, My Divine Will loses nothing by issuing Its works; on the contrary, while It puts them out, It holds them within Itself as primary fount. Therefore, for one who lives in It, there is nothing that My Divine Volition has done or will do, of which she will not have possession.

The Celestial Sower

Jesus Sower of the SeedFROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

V28 – September 30, 1930“My daughter, all the good and holy acts of the prophets, the patriarchs, and of the ancient people, formed the ground in which the Supreme Being sowed the seed in order to make germinate the life of the Celestial Baby Mary, because Her seed was taken from the human stock. The Virgin, having within Herself the operating life of the Divine Will, expanded this ground with Her acts, fecundated it and divinized it. She made flow in it, more than beneficial and refreshing rain, the sanctity of Her virtues, the heat of Her love; and darting through it with the light of the Sun of the Divine Will that She possessed as Her own, She prepared the ground to germinate the Celestial Savior; and Our Divinity opened Heaven and made the Just One, the Holy One, the Word, rain down into this shoot. And so My Life was formed, human and Divine, to form the Redemption of mankind.

“See, then, in all Our works, directed for the good of creatures, We want to find a shelf, a place, a little ground in which to lay Our work and the good We want to give to creatures. Otherwise, where do We put it? In the air?—without one at least who would know it and would draw Us with her acts, forming her little ground; and We, as the Celestial Sower, sowing the good We want to give? If this were not so—that on both sides, Creator and creature, they feel drawn together: she, preparing herself to receive with her little acts; and God, by giving—it would be as if We did, or wanted to give, nothing to the creature. So, the acts of the creature prepare the ground for the Divine Sower. If there is no soil, there is no sowing to hope for; no one goes to sow if he does not have a little ground; much less does God, Celestial Sower, cast the seed of His Truths, the fruit of His works, if He does not find the little ground of the creature. The Divinity, in order to operate, first wants to place Itself in agreement with the soul; after We have agreed together and We see that she wants to receive that good, to the point of praying Us and forming for Us the ground in which to lay it—then, with all love, We give it. Otherwise, it would be like exposing Our works to uselessness.”

V30 – November 16, 1931 – “…each Act done by the Divine Will in the act of the creature is a Divine Seed that Germinates in her; the act prepares the soil in which My Will sows Its Seed, to make it Germinate into a Divine Plant. In fact, according to the seed that is sown into the womb of the earth, that is the plant that is born: if the seed is of flowers, the flower is born; if the seed is of fruit, the fruit is born.

“Now, My Divine Will sows a distinct Seed in each act of creature: in some It sows the Seed of Sanctity, in some the Seed of Love, in others the Seed of Goodness, and so forth. The more acts she does in It, the more soil she prepares in which My Will prepares Its Distinct Seed, to fill the earth with these human acts. So, one who lets herself be dominated by My Divine Will is Beautiful, is Striking; each of her acts, containing the variety of the Divine Seeds, is a note of her Creator: one act says Sanctity, another Mercy, others Justice, Wisdom, Beauty, Love. In sum, a Divine Harmony appears, with such order, that it shows the Finger of God Operating in her.

“Do you see, then, the necessity of the act of the creature in order for Us to be able to find the soil in which to enclose Our Divine Seed? Otherwise, where to sow it? As for Us, We have no soil; therefore she must form it for Us with her acts, so that, with Our Seeds, We may Germinate Our Divine Being in the creature. Therefore, one who does and Lives in Our Divine Will can be called she who Reproduces her Creator and Hosts within herself He who Created her.”

V35 – October 19, 1937 – “Our Will is the Fecundator and the Sower of Our Life. Where It finds souls disposed It Loves Itself, Fecundating them with Its Love—Sowing in them Its Divine Acts, that, United together, Form the Great Prodigy of the Divine Life in the creature. Therefore, Abandon yourself completely in My Will. Let It make of you whatever It Wants, and we’ll be Happy—you and Us.”

Sower (Celestial)Paragraph 33 – II.         Ways of Coming to Know God

The soul, the “seed of eternity we bear in ourselves, irreducible to the merely material,”9 can have its origin only in God. (2500, 1730, 1776, 1703, 366) CCC

Paragraph 541 – III. The Mysteries of Jesus’ Public Life

“To carry out the will of the Father Christ inaugurated the kingdom of heaven on earth.”247 Now the Father’s will is “to raise up men to share in his own divine life.”248 He does this by gathering men around his Son Jesus Christ. This gathering is the Church, “on earth the seed and beginning of that kingdom.”249 (2816, 763, 669, 768, 865) CCC

2 Corinthians 9:10 – And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:

Luke 8:5, 15 – The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. [15]…But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.
