What one must do in order to Fulfill the Office of Living in the Divine Will. Where little ones must be and what they must do in It.

I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Divine Will, and in doing so, as the littlest of all, I placed myself in front of all generations, even before Adam and Eve were created, so that, before they sinned, I could prepare, before them, the act of reparation to the Divine Majesty – since in the Divine Will there is no past and no future, but everything is present – and so that, being little, I could approach It in order to plead and to do my little acts in It, to cover all the acts of creatures with His Divine Will and therefore to be able to bind to It the broken human will and make them one. Now, while I was doing this, my annihilation, my misery and extreme littleness were such that I said to myself: ‘Instead of placing myself before everyone in the Most Holy Will, I should rather put myself behind everyone, even behind the last man who will come. Since I am the most abject and the most miserable of all, the last place is suitable for me.’

Now, while I was doing this, my Beloved Jesus came out from within my interior, and taking my hand, told me: “My little daughter (Luisa), in My Divine Will the little ones must be before all; even more, inside My Womb. One who has to plead, repair, unite Our Will not only with hers, but with that of all, must be close to Us and so United to Us as to receive all the Reflections of the Divinity in order to copy them within herself. She must have a thought which may belong to all; a word, a work, a step, a love, which may be of all and for all. And since Our Will enwraps everyone, may that thought of yours be of all, in Our Divine Will; may that work, that act, that love, shine in every thought, word and act of all generations, and by the Power of Our Divine Will, may they become antidotes, defenders, lovers, workers, etc.

If you knew with what Love Our Celestial Father awaits you (Luisa), and the Joy, the Contentment He feels in seeing you, so little, bring the whole Creation onto His Lap, to give Him the return of all…! He feels the Glory, the Joys, the Amusements of the Purpose of Creation coming back to Him. This is why it is necessary that you come before all; and after you have come forth, you will turn back within Our Divine Will and go behind everyone; you will place them on your lap, and you will bring them all into Our Womb. And in seeing them covered with your acts done in Our Divine Will, We will welcome then with more Love, and We will feel more disposed to bind Our Divine Will with that of the creatures, that it may return to its Full Dominion.

Therefore, courage; little ones get lost within a crowd, and therefore it is necessary that you (Luisa) come forward in order to Fulfill the Mission of your Office in Our Divine Will. In Our Divine Will, the little ones have no personal thoughts or belongings, but everything in Common with the Celestial Father. Therefore, just as all enjoy the sun, being inundated by its light, because it has been created by God for the Good of all, in the same way, all benefit from the acts done by (Luisa) the Little Daughter of Our Divine Will, which, more than sun, dart through all, so that the Sun of the Eternal Volition may rise again with that Purpose for which generations were created. Therefore, do not get lost within the crowd of your miseries, of your abjection, of self reflections, but think only about your Office of Little One in Our Divine Will, and be attentive on Fulfilling your Mission.”

Life is a weight that will turn into a Treasure.

Continuing in my usual state, I was thinking about the enormous weight that Blessed Jesus felt in carrying the cross, and I said to myself: ‘Lord, life too is a weight – but what a weight, especially because You, my Highest Good, are far away. At that moment, He came and told me: “My daughter (Luisa), it is true that life is a weight, but when this weight is carried with Me, and one finds out that at the end of his life he can unload this weight within Me, he will find this weight changed into a Treasure, in which he will find gems, precious stones, diamonds and all riches, such as to make him happy for Eternity.”

The Divine Will Reigning in the soul raises her above everything; and Loving with the Love of a God, she can Love all things with His very Love, and is constituted possessor and queen of all Creation.

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition according to my usual way, and taking the Eternal ‘I Love you’ of my sweet Jesus, and making it my own, I was going around throughout the whole Creation in order to impress it upon each thing, so that everything and everyone might have one single note, one single sound, one single harmony – ‘I Love You, I Love You, I Love You’ – for myself and for all, toward my Creator, who so much loved me.  Now, while I was doing this, my Lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and pressing me to His Heart, all Tenderness, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), how beautiful is the ‘I Love You’ of one who Lives in My Divine Will.  I hear the Echo of Mine together with hers over all created things, therefore I feel the Requital of Love of the creature for everything I have done.  And then, to Love means to Possess what one Loves, or wanting to Possess that which is Loved.  So, you (Luisa) Love the whole Creation because It is Mine, and I let you Love It because I want to make It yours.  Your repeated ‘I Love You’ for Me upon each created thing is the Way and the Right of Possession – the Right to Possess them.  In feeling Loved, all Creation recognizes their Master, and therefore they make Feast in hearing your ‘I Love You’ being repeated upon them.  Love makes one recognize what is one’s own, and they give themselves only to those by whom they are Loved; and My Divine Will Reigning in the soul is the Confirmation that what is mine is hers.  Now, when something is in common between two persons, highest accord is needed, one cannot do without the other; and here is the necessity of their inseparable Union, of continuous Communications on what to do with what they Possess.  Oh! how My Divine Will Reigning in the soul raises her above everything; and Loving with the Love of a God, she can Love all things with His very Love, and is constituted Possessor and queen of all Creation.

My daughter (Luisa), it is in this Happy State that I created man; My Divine Will was to make up for all that was lacking in him, and to raise him to the Likeness of his Creator.  And this is precisely My Aim upon you (Luisa) – to make you return to the Origin, as We created man.  Therefore, I do not want division between Me and you, nor that what is Mine be not yours; but in order to give you (Luisa) your Rights, I want you to recognize what is Mine, so that, as you Love everything and your ‘I Love You’ flows over all things, all of Creation may recognize you.  They will feel in you (Luisa) the Echo of the Beginning of the Creation of man, and delighting in it, they will yearn to be possessed by you (Luisa).

I act for you like a king who is despised by his peoples, offended, forgotten; these peoples are no longer under the regime of the laws of the king; and if they observe any of the laws, it is force that imposes itself on them, not love.  So, the poor king is forced to live in his royal palace, isolated, without the love, the subjection and the submission of the peoples to his will.  But among many, he notices that there is one alone who maintains himself whole in letting himself be subdued, entirely and completely, by the will of the king.  Even more, he repairs, he cries for the rebellious wills of the whole people, and would want to compensate the king by making himself act for each creature, so that he might find in him everything that he should find in all the rest of the people.  The king feels drawn to love this one, and keeps him always under his eyes to see whether he is constant – and not for one day, but for a period of his life, because only constancy is what the king can rely upon, so as to be sure of what he wants to make of the creature.  To sacrifice oneself, to do good for one day, is something easy for the creature; but to sacrifice oneself and do good for one’s own life – oh! how difficult it is.  And if it happens, it is a divine virtue operating in the creature.  So, when the king feels sure about him, he calls him to himself into his royal palace, he gives to him all that he should give to the whole people, and putting the others aside, he makes the new generation of his chosen people come out from this one, which will have no other ambition than to live of the will of the king alone, all submitted to him, like many births from his womb.

Don’t you think, My daughter (Luisa), that this is precisely what I AM doing for you?  My continuous calling you into My Divine Will, so that, not yours, but Mine may Live in you; My wanting from you (Luisa) that you let Me find the Note of your ‘I Love You’, of your adoration for your Creator, of your reparation for each offense, upon all created things and from the first to the last man that will come – does this not say in clear notes that I want everything in order to give you (Luisa) everything, and that, raising you above everything, I want My Divine Will to be Restored in you (Luisa), Whole, Beautiful, Triumphant, just as It came out of Us in the Beginning of Creation?  My Divine Will was the Prime Act of the creature; the creature had her Prime Act in My Divine Will, and therefore It wants to do Its Course of Life in her.  And even though It was suffocated at Its very first arising in the creature, It was not extinguished, and therefore It awaits Its Field of Life in her.  Don’t you (Luisa) want to be Its First Little Field?  Therefore, be attentive; when you want something, never do it on your own, but pray to Me that My Divine Will may do it in you.  In fact, that same thing, if you do it yourself, sounds bad, gives of human; but if My Divine Will does it, it sounds Good, it Harmonizes with Heaven, it is sustained by a Divine Grace and Power, it is the Creator that operates in the creature, its Fragrance is Divine; and rising everywhere, it embraces everyone with one single embrace, in such a way that all feel the Good of the Operating of the Creator in the creature.”

The Circle of Truth of the Knowledge of self.

Continuing in the same state, with a little bit more courage, though I was not perfectly free, my Dearest Jesus, on coming, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), sometimes the soul feels an encounter in some Virtue, and plucking up her strength, the soul overcomes that encounter; and then, that Virtue becomes more resplendent and rooted in the soul.  However, the soul must be very attentive in order to avoid that she herself might provide the little rope to let herself be bound by lack of confidence; and she will do this by always restricting herself within the Circle of Truth, without ever leaving it, which is the Knowledge of her nothingness.”

The Interior Passion which the Divinity made the Humanity of Jesus suffer during the course of His whole Life.

Continuing in my usual state, for about three days I felt I was dissolved in God. Many times good Jesus drew Me inside His Most Holy Humanity, and I swam in the Immense Sea of the Divinity. Oh, how many things one could see! How clearly one could see all that the Divinity operated in His Humanity! Very often my Jesus interrupted my surprises, telling me: “Do you see, My daughter (Luisa), with what Excess of Love I Loved the creature? My Divinity was too jealous to entrust to the creature the task of Redemption, and so It made Me suffer the Passion. The creature had no power to make Me die as many times for as many creatures which had come, and were to come to the light of Creation, and for as many mortal sins as they would have the disgrace to commit. The Divinity wanted Life for each life of creature, and Life for each death which she gave herself through mortal sin. Who could be so powerful over Me as to give Me so many deaths, if not My Own Divinity? Who would have had the Strength, the Love, the Constancy to watch Me dying so many times, if not My Own Divinity? The creature would have grown tired, and would have given up.

And do not think that this Crafting of My Divinity started late, but as soon as My Conception was accomplished, even in the Womb of My Mama, who many times was aware of My Pains, and was Martyred, feeling death along with Me. Therefore, even from the Maternal Womb, My Divinity took on the Commitment of Loving Executioner – but, because Loving, more demanding and inflexible; so much so, that not a thorn was spared to My groaning Humanity – not a nail… But not like the thorns, the nails, the scourges I suffered in the Passion which creatures gave Me, and which did not multiply – as many as they inflicted, so many remained. Rather, those of My Divinity Multiplied at each offense – as many thorns for as many evil thoughts; as many nails for as many unworthy works; as many blows for as many pleasures; as many pains for as many different offenses. They were Seas of Pains, Thorns, Nails, and Innumerable Blows. In the Face of the Passion which My Divinity gave Me, the Passion which the creatures gave Me on the last of My days was nothing but the shadow – the image of what My Divinity made Me suffer during the course of My Life. This is why I Love souls so much: they are Lives that they cost Me – they are Pains inconceivable to created mind. Therefore, enter into My Divinity, and see and touch with your own hand all that I suffered.”

I don’t know how – I found myself inside the Divine Immensity, which was raising Thrones of Justice for each creature, to which sweet Jesus had to respond for each one of their acts – suffering their pains and death, paying the penalty for everything. And Jesus, like a sweet little lamb, was killed by Divine Hands, to rise again and to suffer more deaths… Oh God! Oh God, what harrowing Pains! Dying to rise again – and rising again to suffer a yet more excruciating death!

I felt I was dying in seeing my sweet Jesus being killed. Many times I would have wanted to spare just one death for the One who Loves me so much. Oh, how well I understood that only the Divinity could make my sweet Jesus suffer so much, and could claim the Merit of having Loved men to Folly and Excess, with unheard-of Pains and with Infinite Love. Neither Angel nor man had this Power in hand: being able to Love us with such Heroism of Sacrifice – like a God. But who can tell everything? My poor mind was swimming in that Immense Sea of Light, of Love and of Pains; and I remained as though drowned, unable to come out. If my lovable Jesus had not drawn me into the little Sea of His Most Holy Humanity, in which the mind is not so submerged – unable to see any boundary, I could have said nothing.

Then, after this, my sweet Jesus added: “Beloved daughter (Luisa), Newborn of My Life, come into My Divine Will – come and see how much there is to substitute for, for My many Acts, still suspended, not yet substituted for by creatures. My Divine Will must be within you (Luisa) as the Primary Gear of a clock: if it moves, all the other gears move, and the clock signals the hours and the minutes. So, all the accord is in the motion of this primary wheel; and if this first wheel has no motion, the clock is stopped. In the same way, the First Wheel within you (Luisa) must be My Divine Will, which must give Motion to your thoughts, to your heart, to your desires – to everything. And since My Divine Will is the Central Wheel of My Being, of Creation and of all things, your motion, coming out from that Center, will come to substitute for as many acts of creatures. Multiplying in the motions of all as Central Motion, it will come to place before My Throne, on their behalf, the acts of the creatures, and will substitute for everything. Therefore, be attentive – (Luisa) your Mission is Great and Fully Divine.”

If in the soul there is no Purity, Upright Working and Love, she cannot be the Mirror of Jesus.

Continuing in my usual state, my always Lovable Jesus came, and placing His Holy Hand under my chin, He told me: “My daughter (Luisa), you are the Reflection of My Glory.”

Then He added: “In the world I need mirrors to which to go and look at Myself. Only then can a fount serve as mirror in which people can reflect themselves, when the fount is pure; but it is of no use for the fount to be pure if the waters are cloudy. It is useless for that fount to boast about the preciousness of the stones on which it is founded, if the waters are cloudy; nor can the sun make its rays perpendicular so as to render those waters silvery and communicate to them the variety of colors; nor can people reflect themselves in it. My daughter (Luisa), virgin souls are the similes of the purity of the fount: the crystal clear and pure waters are the upright working, the Sun that make its Rays perpendicular is Me, the Variety of Colors is Love. Therefore, if I do not find purity, upright working and love in a soul, she cannot be My mirror.

These are My mirrors in which I make My Glory be Reflected; with all the others, even if they are virgins, not only can I not Reflect Myself, but if I wanted to do so, I would not recognize Myself in them. And the sign of all this is Peace; from this you will be able to know how very scarce are the mirrors I have in the world. In fact, very few are the peaceful souls.”

FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE

Also called:

Purification of the Blessed Virgin (Greek Hypapante)

Candlemas

Observed 2 February in the Latin Rite.

Today is a day of purification, renewal, and hope. On this day, exactly 40 days after Christmas, we commemorate Mary’s obedience to the Mosaic law by submitting herself to the Temple for the ritual purification, as commanded in Leviticus:

Leviticus 12:2-8
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a woman having received seed shall bear a man child, she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of separation of her flowers. And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised: But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her purification. She shall touch no holy thing: neither shall she enter into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification, be fulfilled. But if she shall bear a maid child, she shall be unclean two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses, and she shall remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtle dove for sin, and shall deliver them to the priest: Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth a man child or a maid child.

And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.

Luke 2:22-24
And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord: As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:

Mary, of course, didn’t need this purification — which Catholic women imitate, in a sense, with the rite of the Churching of Women — but she submitted out of obedience to the Law. Also, as the Lukan verses revealed, Our Lady and St. Joseph presented Jesus to the Temple for His “redemption,” also per the Law:

Exodus 13:2, 12-13:
Sanctify unto me every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are all mine…Thou shalt set apart all that openeth the womb for the Lord, and all that is first brought forth of thy cattle: whatsoever thou shalt have of the male sex, thou shalt consecrate to the Lord. The firstborn of an ass thou shalt change for a sheep: and if thou do not redeem it, thou shalt kill it. And every firstborn of men thou shalt redeem with a price.

Numbers 18:15-16
Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed, And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

According to the Mosaic law a mother who had given birth to a man-child was considered unclean for seven days; moreover she was to remain three and thirty days “in the blood of her purification”; for a maid-child the time which excluded the mother from sanctuary was even doubled. When the time (forty or eighty days) was over the mother was to “bring to the temple a lamb for a holocaust and a young pigeon or turtle dove for sin“; if she was not able to offer a lamb, she was to take two turtle doves or two pigeons; the priest prayed for her and so she was cleansed. (Leviticus 12:2-8)

Forty days after the birth of Christ Mary complied with this precept of the law, she redeemed her first-born from the temple (Numbers 18:15), and was purified by the prayer of Simeon the just, in the presence of Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:22 sqq.). No doubt this event, the first solemn introduction of Christ into the house of God, was in the earliest times celebrated in the Church of Jerusalem. We find it attested for the first half of the fourth century by the pilgrim of Bordeaux, Egeria or Silvia. The day (14 February) was solemnly kept by a procession to the Constantinian basilica of the Resurrection, a homily on Luke 2:22 sqq., and the Holy Sacrifice. But the feast then had no proper name; it was simply called the fortieth day after Epiphany. This latter circumstance proves that in Jerusalem Epiphany was then the feast of Christ’s birth.

From the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will

Day 23

A Prophet Reveals the Sorrows of the Sovereign Queen.

My dear child, do not move from my side; follow Me everywhere. Forty days from the Birth of little King Jesus are about to sound when the Divine Fiat calls Us to the temple in order to fulfill the Law of the Presentation of My Son. So, we went to the temple. It was the first time that we went out together with My sweet Baby. A vein of sorrow opened in My Heart: I was going to offer Him as Victim for the salvation of all. We entered the temple, and first we adored the Divine Majesty; then we called the priest, and placing Him in his arms, I made the offering of the Celestial Baby to the Eternal Father – offering Him in Sacrifice for the salvation of all. The priest was Simeon, and as I placed Him in his arms, he recognized that He was the Divine Word and exulted with immense joy; and after the offering, assuming the attitude of prophet, he prophesied all My Sorrows. Oh, how the Supreme Fiat sounded over My Maternal Heart – thoroughly, with vibrating sound, the cruel tragedy of all the Pains of My Little Son! But what pierced Me the most were the words that the holy prophet spoke to Me: “This Dear Baby will be the salvation and the ruin of many, and will be the target of contradictions.”

If the Divine Will had not sustained Me, I would have died instantly of pure pain. But It gave Me Life, and used it to form in Me the Kingdom of Sorrows, within the Kingdom of Its Will. Therefore, in addition to the Right of Mother which I had over all, I acquired the Right of Mother and Queen of all Sorrows. Ah, yes, with My Sorrows, I acquired the little Coin to pay the debts of My children, and also those of the ungrateful children.

Now, My child, you must know that in the Light of the Divine Will I already knew all the Sorrows I was to suffer – and even more than that which the holy prophet had told Me. But in that Act, so Solemn, of offering My Own Son, in hearing it being repeated to Me, I felt so pierced that My Heart bled, and deep lacerations opened in My soul.

Now, listen to your Mama: in your sufferings, in the painful encounters which are not lacking for you, never lose heart; but with Heroic Love let the Divine Will take Its Royal Place in your pains, that It may convert them into little Coins of infinite Value, with which you will be able to pay the debts of your brothers – to ransom them from the slavery of the human will, and make them enter again, as free children, into the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat.

The soul:

Holy Mama, in your pierced Heart do I place all my pains; and You know how they pierce my heart. O please, be my Mama, and pour the Balm of Your Sorrows into my heart, that I may share in your same Destiny of using my pains as little Coins in order to Conquer the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

Little Sacrifice:

Today, to honor Me, you will come into My arms, that I may pour in you the First Blood that the Celestial Baby shed in order to heal the wounds caused by your human will; and you will recite three acts of love in order to mitigate the spasm of the Wound of Baby Jesus.

Ejaculatory Prayer:

My Mama, pour your sorrow into my soul, and convert all my pains into Will of God.

CANDLEMAS

Presentation of the Lord

The feast was first observed in the Eastern Church as “The Encounter.” In the sixth century, it began to be observed in the West: in Rome with a more penitential character and in Gaul (France) with solemn blessings and processions of candles, popularly known as “Candlemas.” The Presentation of the Lord concludes the celebration of the Nativity and with the offerings of the Virgin Mother and the prophecy of Simeon, the events now point toward Easter.

“In obedience to the Old Law, the Lord Jesus, the first-born, was presented in the Temple by his Blessed Mother and his foster father. This is another ‘epiphany’ celebration insofar as the Christ Child is revealed as the Messiah through the canticle and words of Simeon and the testimony of Anna the prophetess. Christ is the light of the nations, hence the blessing and procession of candles on this day. In the Middle Ages this feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or ‘Candlemas,’ was of great importance.

“The specific liturgy of this Candlemas feast, the blessing of candles, is not as widely celebrated as it should be, except of course whenever February 2 falls on a Sunday and thus takes precedence. There are two ways of celebrating the ceremony, either the Procession, which begins at a ‘gathering place’ outside the church, or the Solemn Entrance, celebrated within the church.”

The Canticle of Simeon

(Luke 2:29-32)

 Now dismiss Thy servant, O Lord,
In peace, according to Thy word:
For mine own eyes hath seen Thy salvation,
Which Thou hast prepared in the sight of all the peoples,
A light to reveal Thee to the nations
And the glory of Thy people Israel.

Latin Version: Nunc Dimittis
Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine
Secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium,
Et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.

The world has become unbalanced because it has lost the thought of the Passion.

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my always lovable Jesus, dripping Blood all over, with a horrible crown of thorns, looking at me with difficulty through the thorns. He told me: “My daughter (Luisa), the world has become unbalanced because it has lost the thought of My Passion. In darkness, it has not found the Light of My Passion which would illuminate it by making known to it My Love and how much souls cost Me, in such a way that it could turn to loving the One who has truly Loved it; and the Light of My Passion, guiding it, would put it on its guard against all dangers. In weakness, it has not found the Strength of My Passion which would sustain it. In impatience, it has not found the Mirror of My Patience which would infuse in it calm and resignation, in such a way that, in the face of My Patience, feeling ashamed, it would make it its duty to dominate itself. In pains, it has not found the comfort of the Pains of a God which, sustaining its pains, would infuse in it love of suffering. In sin, it has not found My Sanctity which, placing itself in front of it, would infuse in it hate of sin. Ah, man has made an abuse of everything, because he has moved away from the One who could help him! This is why the world has lost balance. It behaved like a child who no longer wanted to recognize his mother; or like a disciple who, denying his master, no longer wanted to listen to his teachings, or learn his lessons. What will happen to this child and to this disciple? They will be the sorrow of themselves, and the terror and sorrow of society. Such has man become – terror and sorrow; but a sorrow without pity. Ah, man is getting worse and worse, and I cry over him with Tears of Blood!”

A Protestant Church is opened in Corato. The Queen Mother reproaches Luisa.

As I was in my usual state, I was feeling very afflicted, especially because my confessor had told me that this morning a Protestant Church would be opened in Corato, and that I should pray the Lord to make something happen that would confuse them, at the cost of any suffering of mine. But, seeing that the Lord was not coming and therefore I did not feel great sufferings – the only means to obtain these kinds of Graces – I felt a most great affliction. Then, after I struggled a lot, Blessed Jesus came, and I saw the confessor insisting very much, and praying that I might suffer. So it seemed that He shared with me the Pains of the Cross, and then He told me: “My daughter (Luisa), I have made you suffer, forced by the priestly authority, and I will permit that those who go there, instead of being convinced by what the Protestants say, will make fun of them. However, since the chastisement swooped down on Corato in those days in which I kept you suspended from the state of victim, it must now have its course; and if you continue to suffer, I will dispose the hearts in such a way that, at the appropriate time, I will make use of some occasion to have them remain completely confused and destroyed.”

Then, afterwards, the Queen Mother came, as if She wanted to use a trait of Justice with me; She reproached me bitterly for any thought or word especially when, seeing myself with very few sufferings, I say that it is no longer Will of God, and therefore I want to go out of this state. Who can say with what rigor She reproached me, telling me: “If the Lord permits that you be suspended for a few days, this can be; but the fact that you yourself dispose yourself to do it, this is intolerable before God, as you almost come to dictate the laws on how He should keep you.” I felt the strength of rigor so much, that I was about to faint, to the point that Blessed Jesus, having compassion for me, sustained me in His Arms.

Round in the Divine Will.  Assault at the Divine Majesty.  Attractions of littleness; the secret of it.  How the human will is nauseating.  Example.

I was gathering, all together, all the acts of the Divine Will done in Creation, the seas of the Celestial Queen, those of my Beloved Jesus—in sum, all the acts that the Divine Fiat has issued outside of Itself.  So, I was recapitulating everything, in order to bring them before the height of the Supreme Majesty, so as to make, through this, the final assault at It, and force It to give me Its Kingdom on earth.

But while I was doing this, I thought to myself:  “I am little, I am just an atom—how can I bring the vastness of the heavens, the multiplicity of the stars, the immensity of the light of the sun, and then all the seas of my Mama and those of Jesus, which are endless?  So, does my little atom not remain lost in the midst of so many works, so great?  I believe that all Heaven will smile in seeing my littleness wanting to make this assault, as the latest device of its round in the Divine Will.  In fact, since I am little, I get not only lost, but also knocked down by even just one work of the Divine Volition, therefore my assault will be without effect, and perhaps it will serve to make the whole Celestial Court smile behind my poor back.”

But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and, all tenderness, told me:  “My little daughter (Luisa), your littleness has such attraction as to draw the attention of all Heaven, to see what your littleness wants to do and can do.  To see a grown-up person do great things does not earn attention, nor does it bring joy; but if one sees a little girl doing the same great thing, she causes such amazement and surprise, that all would want to see the great work of the tiny little one—which does not happen if the same work were done by a grown-up person.

“If you knew how the Divine Gaze and that of the whole of Heaven fixes on you (Luisa), in seeing you gather, all together, as though in a hurry, all the Works of the Divine Will in order to launch an Assault at your Creator, carrying His very Weapons to wage the Holy War on Him, to make Him surrender His Kingdom.  It can be said that your hurrying, your gathering everything, is the True Smile of Heaven, it is the New Feast that your littleness brings to the Celestial Fatherland, and all await the Assault of the tiny little one (Luisa).

“But do you want to know where lies the Secret of your Strength in your littleness—that while you remain lost, now in the light of the sun, now in the midst of the stars, now inside My Seas and those of the Celestial Mama, your atom does not stop, it frees itself and enters the field again to make its recapitulation of all the Works of the Divine Fiat?  All the Secret is enclosed in It, as It Moves you (Luisa), Invests you, Winds you, in order to make you go around and to make you enclose all of Its Acts, so that, It Itself, through your littleness, may have the Assault made at Itself, so as to be drawn to come to Reign upon earth.

“What can the atom animated by My Will not do?  It can do anything, because it becomes an act in the Midst of all of Its Acts of Divine Will, and this is enough to be able to make of all Its Acts one single Act, and say:  ‘Everything is mine, and everything must serve me in order to snatch the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat upon earth.’”

After this, I was thinking of how much evil the human will has done to the poor creatures, and therefore I abhor it, I do not want to know it ever again, and not even look at it, because it is too nauseating.

But while I was thinking of this, my Beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), the human will on its own is nauseating, but United with Mine is the most Beautiful thing I created.  More so, since the Divinity could never issue anything created by Us that would be nauseating.  United with Ours, the human will would have the continuous Motion of Good, of Light, of Sanctity, of Beauty; and through Our continuous Motion, that never ceases, it would have been the Greatest Prodigy of Creation.  Our Motion would Purify it from any shadow of stain.

“It would happen as to the sea:  because it murmurs continuously and has its perennial motion, its waters are pure and crystal clear.  Oh! if the waters of the sea were still, the waters would lose the purity and would become so nauseating, that no one would look at the sea; the waters would be so dirty and filled with filth, that the ships would not be able to cross the sea, and no one would make the fish of waters so putrid, his food.  So, the sea would be a burden for the earth, and would cause the contagion of all maladies to the human generations.

“On the other hand, by its mere murmuring and having its continuous motion, how much good does it not do to creatures?  And while it hides who knows how much dirt inside its bosom, by its murmuring it has the power to keep it buried at the bottom, and it masters the purity of its waters, pure and emptied of any dirt.  Such is the human will—more than sea:  if the Divine Motion murmurs in it, it is Beautiful and Pure, all evils remain buried and without life; but if My Divine Will does not murmur in it and does not have its First Motion, all evils arise again, and from the most Beautiful it becomes the ugliest, such as to arouse pity.

“Another image is the human nature.  United with the soul, it is Beautiful; it sees, it hears, it walks, it operates, it speaks, it does not stink; separated from the soul, it becomes putrid, it stinks in a horrible way, it is disgusting to look at; it can be said that it can no longer be recognized.  Who caused such remarkable change from a body that is alive to a dead body?  The lack of the murmuring of the soul, of its continuous motion that had primacy in the human nature.

“As such was My Divine Will placed for the human will—as soul, from which it was to receive Life, its continuous murmuring.  So, as long as it stays United with Mine, it is a Prodigy of Life, of Beauty; separated from Mine, it loses legs, hands, word, sight, warmth, life, and, as a consequence, it becomes so horrid, more than a cadaver, as to deserve to be buried inside the deepest abyss, because its stench is unbearable.  So, one who does not stay United with My Divine Will, loses the Life of his soul, therefore he can do nothing Good, and everything he does is without Life.”
