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.”

1/30/27 – Vol. 20

Why Jesus did not write.  How in these Manifestations there are neither threats nor frights, but the Echo of the Celestial Fatherland.  When this Kingdom will come.  How the Pains of the Most Holy Virgin and those of Our Lord were Pains of Their Office, and how They possessed True Happiness.  Power of voluntary pains; Happiness of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.

I was thinking to myself:  ‘My sweet Jesus told me many times that I had to imitate Him in everything; yet, He never wrote.  Only once it is said in the Gospel that He wrote, but not even with a pen, rather, with His Finger; yet, He wants me to write.  So, He wants to make me go out of His imitation – He did not write at all, and I must write so much.’  Now, while I was thinking of this, He came as a gracious little child; and placing Himself in my arms, drawing His face near mine, He told me:

“My daughter (Luisa), give Me your kisses, and I will give you Mine.”

Then, after I kissed Him various times, He incited me to kiss Him again, and then He said to me:  “My daughter (Luisa), do you want to know why I did not write?  Because I was to write through you (Luisa).  It is I (Jesus) who animate your intelligence, who Feed you the Words, who give motion to your hand with My Hand, to make you hold the pen and write the Words on paper.  So, it is I (Jesus) who am writing, not you.  You do nothing but pay attention to what I want to write.  Therefore, all of your work is attention – the rest, I do all by Myself.  Do you yourself not see how many times you have no strength to write and you decide not to do it; and in order to make you touch with your own hand that it is I who write, I invest you, and animating you with my own life, I Myself write what I want?  How many times have you not experienced this?  Now, since an age was to pass before making known the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, to allow some time in order to first make known the Kingdom of Redemption and then the other of the Divine Fiat, I decreed not to write at that time, but to write together with you (Luisa), through you (Luisa), when this Kingdom would be nearer, also to give a New Surprise to the creatures with the Excess of Love of this Divine Will of Mine – what It did, what It suffered, and what It wants to do for Love of them.

Many times, My daughter (Luisa), novelties bring New Life, New Goods, and the creatures are so very much drawn to Novelties, and let themselves be as though transported by the Novelty.  More so, since the Novelties of the New Manifestations about My Divine Will, which have a Divine Strength and a Sweet Enchantment, and which will pour like Celestial Dew upon the souls burnt by the human will, will be bearers of Happiness, of Light and of Infinite Goods.  There are no threats nor fright in these Manifestations; and if there is anything about fear, it is for those who want to remain in the maze of the human will.  But then, in all the rest, one can see nothing but the Echo, the Language of the Celestial Fatherland, the Balm from on High which Sanctifies, Divinizes and makes the Down Payment of the Happiness which Reigns only in the Blessed Fatherland.  This is why I delight in Writing that which regards the Divine Fiat – because I Write about things which belong to My Fatherland.  Too perfidious and ungrateful will be those who will not recognize in these Manifestations of Mine the Echo of Heaven, the Long Chain of Love of the Supreme Will, the Communion of Goods which Our Celestial Father wants to give to the creatures; and as though wanting to put aside everything that happened in the history of the world, He wants to begin a New Era, a New Creation, as if the New History of Creation were beginning just now.  Therefore, let Me do, because whatever I do is of Highest Importance.”

After this, I said to Him:  ‘My Love, it seems that, more than anything, You love this Kingdom of the Eternal Fiat very much; in It You concentrate all Your Love, all Your Works, and You almost boast about the fact they these will serve this Kingdom.  If You Love It so much, when will It come?  Why don’t You hasten Its coming?’

And Jesus added:  “My daughter (Luisa), when the Knowledges about My Divine Will have followed their course, in view of the great Good which they contain – Goods which no creature has thought about until now, that the Kingdom of My Divine Will will be the Outpouring of Heaven, the Echo of the Celestial Happiness, the Fullness of terrestrial Goods – …so, in view of this great Good, unanimously, they will yearn, they will ask that this Kingdom may come soon.  The same in the whole Creation, with Its mute language – only apparently mute, because inside of It there is My Divine Will, asking for Its Rights with loud and eloquent Voice, to be Known, to Dominate and to Reign over all.  Therefore, one will be the echo from one end of the earth to another, one the sigh, one the prayer which will be unleashed from all beings:  May the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat come.

Then, Triumphantly, It will come into the midst of creatures.  From here the necessity of the Knowledges:  these will be incitements, and will whet the appetite of the creatures for tasting a Food so Delicious; and they will feel all the will, the yearning, to Live in a Kingdom so Happy, so as to free themselves from the tyranny and the slavery in which they have been kept by their own will.  And as they will advance in the Knowledge of all the Manifestations, of the Goods contained in the Supreme Fiat, they will find your norms – how you have turned Heaven and earth upside down, going around everywhere and asking that this Kingdom may soon become known.  They will find what you have suffered to obtain such a great Good for them, how they must behave, and what they must do in order to have free access to Live in It.  Therefore, it is necessary to make everything known, so that My Kingdom may be all complete, and nothing may be lacking to It, either the greatest or the smallest things.  So, certain things which to you seem to be small, may be a Divine Rock transformed into most Pure Gold, which will form part of the Foundations of the Kingdom of My Supreme Will.”

After this, I was thinking to myself:  ‘My sweet Jesus sings so much the Praises of the Happiness of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat; yet, He Himself who is the very Divine Will, and my Celestial Mama who possessed It as whole, were not Happy on earth; rather, they were the ones who suffered the most on earth.  And even myself – He says I am the Firstborn Daughter of His Divine Will, yet, He has kept me forty-three years and more confined in a bed, and Jesus alone knows what I have suffered.  It is true that I have also been a Happy prisoner and I would not exchange my Happy Destiny even if they offered me scepters and crowns, because what Jesus has given me has made me more than Happy; yet, apparently, to the human eye, this Happiness disappears.  Therefore it seems that this Happiness which Jesus talked about clashes, if one thinks of His Pains, of those of the Sovereign Queen, and my own state – the last of His creatures.’  But while I was thinking of this, my sweet Jesus, surprising me, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), there is an immense difference between one who must form a Good, a Kingdom, and one who must receive it in order to enjoy it.  I came upon earth to expiate, to Redeem, to Save man; and to do this I had to receive the pains of the creatures, and take them upon Myself as if they were Mine.  My Divine Mama, who was to be Co-Redemptrix, was not to be dissimilar from Me; rather, the five drops of Blood which She gave Me from Her most Pure Heart in order to form My little Humanity, came from Her Crucified Heart.  For Us the pains were offices which We came to fulfill; therefore they were all voluntary pains, not impositions of a fragile nature.

However, you must know that in spite of so many pains We suffered in order to carry out Our Ooffice, Highest Happiness, unending and ever New Joys, continuous Paradise, were inseparable from Me and from My Queen Mama.  It was easier for Us to separate from Our Pains – because they were not things intrinsic to Us, things of nature, but things of Our Office – than to separate from the Sea of the Immense Happinesses and Joys that the Nature of Our Divine Will, which We possessed, produced in Us as things belonging to and intrinsic to Us.  Just as the nature of the sun is to give light, and that of water to quench one’s thirst, that of fire to warm and to turn everything into fire – and if they did not do so, they would lose their nature – so it is the Nature of My Divine Will to make Happiness, Joy and Paradise arise, wherever It Reigns.  Will of God and unhappiness does not exist, nor can exist; maybe Its complete Fullness does not exist, and this is why the rivulets of the human will form bitternesses for the poor creature.  For Us, because the human will had no access into Us, Happiness was always at its Peak, the Seas of Joys were inseparable from Us.  Even when I was on the Cross, and My Mama was crucified at My Divine Feet, Perfect Happiness never dissociated itself from Us; and if this could happen, I should have gone out of the Divine Will, dissociate Myself from the Divine Nature, and act only with the human will and nature.  Therefore, Our Pains were all voluntary, chosen by Our very selves as the office which We came to fulfill – they were not fruits of the human nature, of fragility, or of the imposition of a degraded nature.  And then, don’t you remember that your pains too are Pains of Office – voluntary pains?  In fact, when I (Jesus) called you (Luisa) to the state of victim, I asked you if you would accept it willingly; and you (Luisa), with full will, accepted and pronounced the Fiat.  Some time passed, and I repeated My Refrain – if you accepted to Live in, and with, My Divine Will – and you repeated the Fiat which, regenerating you to New Life, made you (Luisa) Its daughter, to give you the Office and the Pains which befit It for the Fulfillment of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.

My daughter (Luisa), voluntary pains have such Power over the Divinity, as to have the Strength, the Empire, to tear the Womb of the Celestial Father, and from this tearing which they form in God, to make Seas of Grace overflow which form the Triumph of the Supreme Majesty and the Triumph of the creature who possesses this Empire of her voluntary Pains.  Therefore, both for the Great Portent of Redemption and for the Great Prodigy of the Kingdom of My Fiat, voluntary pains were needed – Pains of Office, which were to be animated by a Divine Will; and ruling over God and over the creatures, they were to give the Great Good which their Office enclosed.  Therefore, My Praised Happiness of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat does not clash, as you say, just because I was the Divine Will Itself and I did suffer, and just because I have kept you (Luisa) in bed for so long.  One (Luisa) who must form a Good, a Kingdom, must do one thing – suffer, prepare the necessary things, and win over God in order to obtain it; those who must receive it must do something else – that is, receive it, appreciate it, and be grateful to the one who has fought and suffered and, after winning, gives them his conquests to make them Happy.  Therefore, the Kingdom of My Divine Will in the midst of creatures will carry the echo of the Happiness of Heaven, because one will be the Will that must Reign and Dominate in both one and the other.  And just as My Humanity was Formed from the Most Pure Blood of the Sovereign Queen, and Redemption was formed from My continuous Crucifixion, and on Calvary I placed the Seal of the Cross on the Kingdom of the redeemed ones, in the same way, the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat will come from a crucified heart, and My Divine Will, crucifying yours, will release Its Kingdom, and Happiness for the children of Its Kingdom.

This is why, from the time I called you (Luisa) to the state of victim, I always spoke to you about crucifixion.  You thought it was the crucifixion of hands and feet, and I let you run in this crucifixion – but it was not this one; it would not have been enough to release My Kingdom.  The complete and continuous Crucifixion of My Divine Will in your whole being was needed, and this was exactly what I intended to speak to you about – that your will would go through the continuous Crucifixion of Mine, in order to release the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.”

            I was thinking about the many Truths that my adorable Jesus had manifested to me about the Divine Will, and O! how many thoughts crowded in my mind of Surprises, of Joys, of Emotions, about these Truths.  It seemed to me that they descended from Heaven all ordered so as to fill the earth, and their Work was to form the Way in themselves, in order to let us re-enter into these Truths, then they would wall themselves around creatures, in order to not let them leave.

            And my Celestial Jesus, visiting my little soul, told me:  “(Luisa) My little daughter of My Volition, you must know that every Truth that I have Manifested about My Divine Will, was nothing other than one more approach towards creatures.  Our Supreme Being, as It spoke, so It took one more step toward them, It placed one more Divine Particle at their disposition, and cast New Bonds of Union and of Love.  Our Word is always Our Birth, it is Our Word that We placed on the way from Heaven in order to seek Our yearned for creature, and Our Sacrosanct Trinity, drawn by the Power of the Word—because He was inseparable from Us—made Us take Our next Steps, and, step by step, We arrive at where Our Word reaches.

            “Now you must know that when We decide to manifest a Truth by means of Our Word, since it is a part of Ourselves that We are putting forth, Our Supreme Being takes an unusual Aspect, a New Joy invests Us, a Strength communicative of New Beatitudes comes forth from Us.  The whole of Heaven, in seeing Our unusual Aspect, already senses that We were about to put forth one Word of Ours of Truth, because the First to celebrate the Truths that We put forth were the Three Divine Persons, and then the whole of Heaven together with Us.  They are Gifts of the Great King, who knows how to move everything, invest everything; and Our Word has the Creative, Vivifying, Transforming Virtue, and at times It knocks down, It crushes, It smashes everything to pieces, and over the ruins makes arise the Life of Our Word, and It forms there the most Beautiful Things, a New Creation, Works of Magnificence as to amaze Heaven and earth.

“What can one Fiat of Ours not do?  It can do everything, and what will the Chains of so many of Our Fiats not do!  Our Fiat transformed into Word of Truth Possesses the Invincible Virtue, Unreachable Power, Immovable Firmness of the Good that It wants to form in the Power of My Speaking Fiat.  You do not understand the great Gift and the great Good that one single Word of Mine about Divine Truth encloses; but you will understand it with time, when you will see the Deeds, the Works, that My Truths have produced, because My Truths not only have the Power of drawing Our Supreme Being near, of letting Us take the Steps—and many times it also makes Us race in order to come near the creatures—but they give Graces to them of letting them take steps, and making them race to meet He who already was coming to meet them, and to give them the great Good that Our Fiat pronounced.

“So, Our Truths Act Powerfully when they come forth from Our Diving Being, because if they go forth they want to give the Life and the Good that they Possess, and at the same time they want to dispose creatures to draw near to the Font from which they came, in order to transform them into the Good of the same Truth.  If a New Truth comes forth from Us, it is everything.  At the most, times, centuries, can pass, but this says nothing, because they are Armed not only with Power, but with Invincible and Divine Patience, and they don’t become tired in waiting, they are tireless, they are inflexible; first they must give what Good they have, the Life that they possess, and then, Triumphant and Victorious, they send back to Heaven the Fruits that they have conquered.

“Therefore, My daughter (Luisa), be attentive in to listening to My Truths.  First you must think about where they come from, Who hands them to you (Luisa), the Good that they want to make you, the steps of both sides to draw near each other.  Do not want to put them in doubt because you do not see in the world the Effects, the Good, the Life that My Truths Possess.  Time will do and will say everything, for now do your part, for the rest, let your Jesus think about it.

“Beyond this, you must know that First We form the support, the place, the soul (Luisa) where Our Truths must descend, and then We decide to send them forth from inside Our Paternal Bosom, because Our Supreme Being, in sending the Truths forth from Us—that change into Works for creatures—in sending them forth, We do not let them remain in the air and idle, no, Our Wisdom never does useless things.  If We put them forth, they must be Bearers of the Good that they contain.  Here is the reason for the necessity of the support for where Our Goodness can send them in order to immediately begin their Work of participation and of transformation of the Good that they possess—perhaps only to begin with (Luisa) one soul alone, but then to diffuse so much as to form the Armies of creatures of the Good that Our Truths Possess.  And when they have formed these Noble Armies, Our Truths carry them to Us, onto the Lap of Our Celestial Fatherland.  They are Conquerors who populate Heaven; they act as messengers, they run over the earth, they cast the Seed, they Work it, they Gather it, and, Triumphant for placing it in safety, they bring it into the Celestial Regions.  They are untiring, nor do they ever stop if they have not obtained their intent.  Therefore, be attentive and do not transgress in anything of what your Jesus has taught you.”

The Cross is Seed of Virtue.

As I was feeling in suffering more than usual, my adorable Jesus came for just a little and told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), the Cross is Seed of Virtue, and just as one who sows harvests for ten, twenty, thirty, and even one hundred – in the same way, the Cross, being Seed, multiplies Virtues and Perfections, and it embellishes them in an admirable way.  So, the more Crosses thicken around you, the more Seeds of Virtue are sown into your soul.  Therefore, instead of afflicting yourself when a New Cross comes to you, you should rejoice, thinking that you are acquiring another Seed, with which you can enrich, and even complete, your crown.”

Just as things created by God do not go out of Him, because the Divine Will becomes their Nourishment and Preservation, the same happens for the soul who Lives in the Divine Will.

While I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Will, I thought to myself: ‘Before, when I used to Fuse myself in the Holy Supreme Volition, Jesus was with me, and I entered into It together with Him; therefore entering was a reality. But now I don’t see Him, so I don’t know whether I am entering the Eternal Volition or not. In forming the act of entering the Divine Will, I feel, rather, like one who is reciting a little lesson, learned by heart, or that those words of entrance are just a way of saying.’

Now, as I was thinking of this, my Adorable Jesus moved in my interior, and taking my hand in His own, pushed me up high, and told me: “My daughter (Luisa), you must know that, whether you see Me or not, every time you Fuse yourself in My Divine Will, from within your interior, I (Jesus) take your hand and push you High, and from Heaven I give you (Luisa) My other Hand to take your other hand and pull you up into Our Midst, in Our interminable Will. Therefore, you (Luisa) are between My Hands, in My Arms.

You must know that all the Acts done in Our Will enter into the Prime Act when We created all beings. And the Acts of the creature, in Kissing Ours – because One is the Will which gives Life to these Acts – diffuse in all created things, just as Our Will is diffused everywhere; they become return of Love – continuous Adoration and Glory, for all that We have delivered in Creation. Only that which is done in Our Will begins, almost together with Us, to give Us return of Perennial Love, Adoration in a Divine Manner, Glory that never ends.

And since the Love We feel for all the things We created is so great that We did not allow them to go out of Our Will, they all remained with Us, just as We created them, and Our Will became the preservation and nourishment of the whole creation. This is why all things remain always New, Fresh and Beautiful – nor does the substance of any of them increase or decrease, since they were created all perfect by Us, and therefore not subject to any kind of alteration: because they all conserve their Origin, as they let themselves be Nourished and Preserved by Our Will, and remain around Us to sing Our Glory. But, miserably, the creature of reason does not do so, when, by sin, she separates from Our Will.

Now, the work of the creature in Our Will enters into Our Works, and Our Will becomes Nourishment, Preservation and Act of the very act of the creature. These acts done in Our Will by the creature, place themselves around Us, and transfused in all created things, sing Our Perpetual Glory.

How different is Our Work, and the Love with which We Operate, from that of the creature! In Us, Our Love for the Work We do is so Great that We do not allow it to go outside of Ourselves, that it may lose nothing of the Beauty with which it was made. On the other hand, if the creature of reason does a good work, or even one virtuous act, she is unable to keep it with herself. Rather, many times she doesn’t know what happened to her work, whether it got dirty, or whether they reduced it to a rag – sign of her little love for her own works. And since the creature, because of sin, went out from her Foundation – that is, the Prime Divine Will from which she took Origin – she lost True Love toward God, toward herself, and toward her works.

I wanted man to be in My Divine Will by his own will, not by force, because I Loved him more than all other created things; and I wanted him to be like a king in the Midst of My Works. But man, ungrateful, wanted to go out from his Origin; therefore, he was transformed and lost his Freshness and Beauty, and was subject to alterations and continuous changes. And as much as I call him to return into his Origin, he plays deaf, pretending not to hear Me. But My Love is such that I keep waiting for him, and I continue to call him.”

The Queen Mama is Enriched with the Three Prerogatives of the Most Holy Trinity.

This morning, while I was in my usual state, I saw an Endless Light before me, and I comprehended that in that Light Dwelled the Most Holy Trinity. I also saw the Queen Mama before that Light; She was all absorbed in the Most Holy Trinity, and She absorbed all Three Divine Persons within Herself, in such a way as to be Enriched with the Three Prerogatives of the Sacrosanct Trinity – which are Power, Wisdom and Charity. And just as God Loves mankind as part of Himself, and as a Particle that came out of Him, and He ardently Desires that this part of Himself return into Himself, so does the Queen Mama, by participating in this, Love mankind with Passionate Love.

Now, while comprehending this, I saw the confessor, and I prayed the Most Holy Virgin to intercede with the Most Holy Trinity for him. She bowed, taking my prayer to the Throne of God, and I saw that from the Divine Throne a Flow of Light came out, which covered the confessor completely, and I found myself inside myself.
