EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

Return of Love and Thanksgiving for all that God operated in the Celestial Mama.

‘My Jesus, while I am clinging to You, I want to prove to You my love, my gratitude, and everything which the creature has the duty to do, because You have created our Immaculate Queen Mama – the most beautiful one, the holiest, a portent of Grace, enriching Her with all Gifts, and making Her also our Mother. And I do this in the name of creatures, past, present and future; I want to seize each act of creature – each word, thought, heartbeat and step – and tell You, in each one of them, that I love You, I thank You, I bless You, I adore You, for all that You have done in your Celestial Mama and mine.” Jesus enjoyed my act – but so much that He said to me: ‘My daughter (Luisa), I (Jesus) was anxiously awaiting this act of yours in the name of all generations. My Justice and My Love felt the need of this return, because great are the Graces which descend upon all, for having enriched My Mama so much. Yet, they never have a word, a ‘thank You’ to say to Me.

Another day I was saying to my lovable Jesus: ‘Everything is over for me – suffering, visits of Jesus – everything.’ And He, immediately: “Have you perhaps stopped loving Me, or doing My Will?” And I: ‘No, may this never be.’ And He: “If this is not – nothing is over.”

The Adoration that the Most Holy Virgin did when She encountered Jesus carrying the Cross.  The True Spirit of Adoration.

Continuing in my usual state, for a few instants a saw blessed Jesus with the Cross on His Shoulders, in the act of encountering His Most Holy Mother; and I said to Him:  ‘Lord, what did Your Mother do in this most sorrowful encounter?’

And He:  “My daughter (Luisa), She did nothing but a most profound and simple Act of Adoration.  And since the simpler the act, the more easily it Unites with God, Most Simple Spirit, in this act She infused Herself in Me and continued what I Myself was doing in My interior.  This was immensely pleasing to Me, more than if She had done any other greater thing.  In fact, the True Spirit of Adoration consists in this:  the creature dissolves herself and finds herself in the Divine Sphere; she adores all that God does, and she Unites with Him.  Do you think that when the mouth adores but the mind is somewhere else, it is true adoration?  That is, the mind adores but the will is far away from Me?  Or, one power adores Me, and the others are all disordered?  No, I (Jesus) want everything for Myself, and everything I have given her, in Me.  This is the greatest Act of cult, of Adoration, that the creature can do for Me.”

December 16 Begins the Christmas Novena of the Nine Excesses of Jesus in the Incarnation

Praying for all this Christmas time, in the Name of Jesus, under the Mantle of Mary
and through the intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.
 
St. Annibale said of this Novena:
 

“…I also tell you that in reading the nine Exercises of Christmas, of which we have already prepared the proofs, one remains astounded at the immense Love and the immense suffering of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ for love of us, and for the salvation of souls.  I have never read in any other book on this topic a Revelation so touching and penetrating!”    St. Annibale Maria Di Francia Feb. 14, 1927

 
May we all come to know and love Our Lord, Our Lady and all our brothers more and more, and prepare well for the coming of Jesus Who yearns to Reign in our hearts!

Fiat Voluntas Tua!

12/16/28 – Vol. 25

Speaking of the Nine Excesses of Jesus in the Incarnation.  Contentments of Jesus.  His Word is Creation.  Jesus sees the scenes of His Love being repeated.  Preludes of His Kingdom.

I was doing my meditation, and since today it was the beginning of the Novena of Baby Jesus, I was thinking about the nine excesses of His Incarnation, that Jesus had narrated to me with so much tenderness, and that are written in the first volume.  I felt great reluctance at reminding the confessor about this, because, in reading them, he had told me that he wanted to read them in public in our chapel.

Now, while I was thinking of this, my little Baby Jesus made Himself seen in my arms, so very little, caressing me with His tiny little hands, and saying to me:  “How beautiful is My little daughter (Luisa)!  How beautiful!  How I (Jesus) must thank you (Luisa) for having listened to Me.”

And I:  “My Love, what are You saying?  It is I who must thank You for having spoken to me, and for having given me, with so much love, acting as my teacher, so many lessons that I did not deserve.”

And Jesus:  “Ah, My daughter (Luisa), to how many do I want to speak, and they do not listen to Me, reducing Me to silence and to suffocating My Flames.  So, we must thank each other—you thank Me, and I thank you.  And then, why do you want to oppose the reading of the Nine Excesses?  Ah! You do not know how much Life, how much Love and Grace they contain.  You must know that My Word is Creation, and in narrating to you the Nine Excesses of My Love in the Incarnation, I not only renewed My Love that I had in incarnating Myself, but I created New Love in order to invest the creatures and conquer them to give themselves to Me.

“These Nine Excesses of My Love, manifested with so much Love of Tenderness and Simplicity, formed the prelude of the many Lessons I (Jesus) was to give you (Luisa) about My Divine Fiat, in order to form Its Kingdom.  And now, by their being read, My Love is renewed and redoubled.  Don’t you want, then, that My Love, being redoubled, overflow outside and invest more hearts, so that, as a prelude, they may dispose themselves for the Lessons of My Will, to make It Known and Reign?”

And I:  “My dear Baby, I believe that many have spoken about Your Incarnation.”

And Jesus:  “Yes, yes, they have spoken, but those have been words taken from the shore of the Sea of My Love, therefore they are words that possess neither Tendernesses, nor Fullnesses of Life.  But those few Words that I have spoken to you, I have spoken from within the Life of the Fount of My Love, and they contain Life, irresistible Strength, and such Tendernesses, that only the dead will not feel themselves being moved to pity for Me, tiny little One, who suffered so many Pains even from the Womb of the Celestial Mama.”

After this, the confessor was reading in the chapel the First Excess of the Love of Jesus in the Incarnation; and my sweet Jesus, from within my interior, pricked up His ears to listen.  And drawing me to Himself, He said to me:  “My daughter (Luisa), how happy I feel in listening to them.  But My Happiness increases in keeping you (Luisa) in this House of My Divine Will, as both of us are listeners:  I (Jesus), of what I have told you (Luisa), and you, of what you (Luisa) have heard from Me.  My Love swells, boils and overflows.  Listen, listen—how beautiful it is!  The Word contains the Breath, and as it is spoken, the Word carries the Breath that, like air, goes around from mouth to mouth and communicates the Strength of My Creative Word; and the New Creation that My Word contains descends into the hearts.

“Listen, My daughter (Luisa):  in Redemption I (Jesus) had the cortege of My Apostles, and I was in their midst, all Love, in order to instruct them; I spared no toil in order to form the Foundation of My Church.  Now, in this House, I feel the cortege of the First Children of My Divine Will, and I feel My Loving Scenes being repeated, in seeing you (Luisa) in their midst, all Love, wanting to impart the Lessons about My Divine Fiat in order to form the Foundations of the Kingdom of My Divine Will.  If you knew how happy I (Jesus) feel in seeing you (Luisa) speak about My Divine Volition….  I (Jesus) anxiously await the moment when you (Luisa) begin to speak, in order to listen to you, and to feel the Happiness that My Divine Will brings Me.”

The Word of Jesus is Sun; it nourishes the mind, and satiates the heart with Love.

I continue my most bitter days, though resigned to the Will of God. My always lovable Jesus, if He makes Himself seen, is always afflicted and taciturn; it seems He no longer wants to pay attention to me in anything. This morning, making Himself seen, He put two earrings on my ears – so shining as to look like two suns. Then He told me: “My beloved daughter (Luisa), for one who is all intent on listening to Me, My Word is Sun, which not only delights the hearing, but nourishes the mind and satiates the heart with Me and with My Love. Ah! they don’t want to understand that all My intent is to have all of you intent within Me, without paying attention to anything else. Look at her (pointing at someone), with her way of scrutinizing everything – she pays attention to everything, she is affected by everything, up to the excesses – and even in holy things. This is nothing but a living outside of Me, and one who lives outside of Me, by necessity feels herself very much. She thinks she does honor to Me, but it is the opposite.”

12/14/12 – Vol. 11

One who Lives in the Divine Will Lives in the Most Holy Humanity of Jesus, in order to do what He does and embrace everyone and everything. One who Lives completely in His Will is not tempted.

This morning, when my always adorable Jesus came, He tied me with a golden thread and told me: “My daughter (Luisa), I do not want to tie you with ropes and chains. Iron shackles and chains are used with the rebels, but with the docile – with those who want no life other than My Divine Will, and who take no food other than My Love – a thread is enough to keep them united with Me; and many times I don’t even use this thread. They are so deeply into Me, that we form one single thing. So, if I use the thread, it is almost to joke with them.”

While Jesus was tying me, I found myself in the endless sea of the Will of my Jesus and, consequently, of all creatures; and I went wandering in the mind of Jesus, in the eyes of Jesus, in the mouth of Jesus, in the Heart of Jesus, as well as in the mind, in the eyes and in everything else of the creatures, doing all that Jesus did. Oh, how Jesus embraces all, without excluding anyone! Then, Jesus added: “One (Luisa) who Lives in My Divine Will, embracing everything, praying and repairing for all, takes within herself the Love that I (Jesus) have for everyone; she encloses in just herself the Love that I have for all. For as much as I (Jesus) love her (Luisa), she is equally dear to Me and beautiful. She leaves everyone behind.”

Then, having read that one who is not tempted is not dear to God, and since it seems to me that for a long time I have not known what temptation is, I mentioned this to Jesus, and He told me: “My daughter (Luisa), one who Lives completely in My Divine Will is not subject to temptation, because the devil does not have the power to enter My Divine Will; not only this, but he, himself, does not want to enter because My Divine Will is Light, and in front of this Light the soul would recognize his tricks and would therefore make fun of the enemy. The enemy does not like this mockery, which are more terrible for him than hell itself; so he does all he can to stay away from her. Try to get out of My Divine Will, and you will see how many enemies will swoop down on you. One (Luisa) who Lives in My Divine Will always carries the Flag of Victory high, and none of the enemies dare to confront this impregnable Flag.”

How all created things possess a dose of Happiness.  How the privation of Jesus makes Life rise again.

I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and as I accompanied Its Acts done in the Creation, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), all created things were created by Us with a dose of Happiness, one distinct from the other; so, each created thing brings to man the Kiss, the Air that delights, the Life of Our Happiness.  But do you know who feels all the effects of Our many Happinesses that are spread in the Creation descend into her interior, to the point of remaining soaked with them like a sponge?  (Luisa) One who Lives in Our Divine Will.

“Our Happinesses are not foreign to her (Luisa), because, since she has her taste purified by Our Fiat and not corrupted by the human will, her taste and all of her senses have the virtue of enjoying all the happinesses that are present in the created things, and We feel so much happiness and joy in seeing one who does Our Will as though sitting at the table of Our Happinesses and feeding herself with as many different bites for as many as are the happinesses present in the created things.  Oh! how beautiful it is to see the creature happy.”

At that moment, Jesus kept silent, and I heard the sound of the harmonium playing in the chapel; and Jesus pricked up His ears to listen, and then He added:  “Oh! how happy I feel because this sound delights (Luisa) the little daughter of My Divine Will.  And I, in hearing it, delight together with her.  Oh! how beautiful it is to be delighted together.  To make one who loves Me happy is the greatest of My Happinesses.”

And I:  “Jesus, my Love, my happiness for me is You alone, all other things hold no attraction over me.”

And Jesus:  “Certainly the greatest Happiness for you (Luisa) is I (Jesus), because I contain the source of all Joys and Happinesses; but I (Jesus) enjoy in giving you (Luisa) the small happinesses, and just as I Myself feel them and enjoy them, I want you to feel them and enjoy them together with Me.”

Then, I was thinking to myself:  “Jesus delights so much when I delight in the many happinesses that He spread in the Creation; and why, then, does He grieve me so much, and He renders me so unhappy, to the point of feeling as if I had no Life without Him?  And in feeling myself without Life, all happinesses lose life over my poor soul!”

And Jesus added:  “My daughter (Luisa), if you knew what the utility of My privations is….  You feel yourself Lifeless without Me, you feel you are dead; yet, over that pain and that death, My New Life is formed; and this New Life brings you (Luisa) the New Manifestations of the Life of My Divine Will.  In fact, since your pain is a Divine Pain, that has the Virtue of making you feel death, but without dying, it has the Virtue of making My very Life rise again, with the enchantment of My Truths.

“The pain of My privation prepares the place for My New Life, and disposes your soul to listen to and to comprehend the important Truths on My Divine Fiat.  If I did not deprive you of Me so very often, you (Luisa) would not have had the New Surprises of your Jesus, His many Teachings.  Have you yourself not seen how, after you have been without Me and you thought that everything was over for you, My Life would rise again in you (Luisa) and, all Love and Festive, I would set about giving you (Luisa) My Lessons?  So, when I (Jesus) deprive you (Luisa) of Me, I remain hidden in you and I (Jesus) prepare the work to give you (Luisa), and My New Life to rise again.

“I too suffered the pain of death, to make all creatures rise again in the Pain of My Death.  Death, suffered in the Divine order and in order to fulfill the Divine Will, produces Divine Life, so that all creatures might receive this Divine Life.  And, after having suffered so many deaths, I wanted to really die—how many Goods did My Resurrection not produce?  It can be said that with My Resurrection all the Goods of My Redemption rose again, and, with it, all Goods rose again for creatures, as well as their very Life.  Therefore, be attentive, and let Me do.”

FEAST DAY OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

 DECEMBER 12

POPE FRANCIS GREETS AMERICA, “A GENEROUS LAND”, ON THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

Vatican City, 11 December 2013 (VIS) – Tomorrow is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of all America and therefore, in his greetings in Spanish during today’s general audience, the Pope addressed all brothers and sisters from the Continent, considering the Virgin of Tepeyac.

“When Our Lady appeared to Saint Juan Diego, her face was that of a woman of mixed blood, a mestiza, and her garments bore many symbols of the native culture. Like Jesus, Mary is close to all her sons and daughters; as a concerned mother, she accompanies them on their way through life. She shares all the joys and hopes, the sorrows and troubles of God’s People, which is made up of men and women of every race and nation.

“When the image of the Virgin appeared on the tilma of Juan Diego, it was the prophecy of an embrace: Mary’s embrace of all the peoples of the vast expanses of America – the peoples who already lived there, and those who were yet to come. Mary’s embrace showed what America – North and South – is called to be: a land where different peoples come together; a land prepared to accept human life at every stage, from the mother’s womb to old age; a land which welcomes immigrants, and the poor and the marginalized, in every age. A land of generosity.

“That is the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe”, concluded the Pope, “and it is also my message, the message of the Church. I ask all the people of the Americas to open wide their arms, like the Virgin, with love and tenderness. I pray for all of you, dear brothers and sisters, and I ask you to pray for me! May the joy of the Gospel always abide in your hearts. May the Lord bless you, and may Our Lady be ever at your side.

Lament of Jesus in His Passion, in seeing His garments being divided, and lots drawn for His tunic.  How Adam, before sinning, was clothed with Light, and as he sinned, he felt the need to cover himself.

I was doing my usual acts in the Supreme Fiat, and my adored Jesus came out from within my interior and told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), in My Passion there is a lament of Mine that came out with immense sorrow from the depth of My tormented Heart:  ‘They divided My garments and drew lots for My tunic.’  How painful it was for Me to see My garments being divided among My very executioners, and My tunic being gambled away.  It was the only object I possessed, given to Me, with so much Love, by My sorrowful Mama; and now, they not only stripped Me of it, but they made of it a game.

“But do you know who pierced Me the most?  In those garments, Adam became present to Me, clothed with the Garment of innocence and covered with the indivisible Tunic of My Supreme Will.  In creating him, the uncreated Wisdom acted as more than a most loving mother; more than with a tunic, It clothed him with the unending Light of My Will—a Garment that is not subject to being either disarranged, or divided, or consumed; a Garment that was to serve man in order to preserve the Image of his Creator and the Gifts received from Him, and that was to render him Admirable and Holy in all his things.  Not only this, but It covered him with the Overgarment of Innocence.  And Adam, in Eden, with his passions divided the Garments of Innocence, and he gambled away the Tunic of My Divine Will—a Garment that is incomparable and of Radiant Light.

“What Adam did in Eden was repeated under My Eyes on Mount Calvary.  In seeing My garments being divided and My tunic gambled away—symbol of the Royal Garment given to man, My sorrow was so intense that I made of it a lament.  It became present to Me when creatures, in doing their own will, make a game of Mine, and the so many times in which they divide the Garment of Innocence with their passions.  All Goods are enclosed in man by Virtue of this Royal Garment of the Divine Will; once this is gambled away, he remains uncovered, he loses all Goods, because he lacks the Garment that kept them enclosed within himself.  So, among the many evils that creatures do by doing their own will, they add the irreparable evil of gambling away the Royal Garment of My Divine Will—a Garment that cannot be substituted with any other garment.”

After this, my sweet Jesus showed me Himself placing my little soul inside a Sun, and with His Holy Hands He held me still within that Light, which was such that, as it covered me completely, inside and out, I could not see, nor was I able to see anything but Light.

And my Adored Good added:  “My daughter (Luisa), in creating man, the Divinity placed him inside the Sun of the Divine Will, and all creatures in him.  This Sun served as Garment not only for his soul, but Its Rays were such as to cover also his body, in such a way as to serve as more than a Garment for him, rendering him so Adorned and Beautiful that neither kings nor emperors have ever appeared so adorned as Adam appeared, with this Garment of most Refulgent Light.

“Those who say that, before sinning, Adam went naked are wrong.  False, false.  If all things created by Us are all adorned and clothed, he who was Our jewel, the Purpose for which all things were created—was he not to have the most beautiful Garment and the most beautiful Ornament of all?  So, to him befitted the beautiful Garment of the Light of the Sun of Our Will; and since he possessed this Garment of Light, he had no need of material garments in order to cover himself.  As he withdrew from the Divine Fiat, so did Light withdraw from his soul and from his body; he lost his beautiful Garment, and in seeing himself no longer surrounded with Light, he felt naked.  Feeling ashamed in seeing that he was the only one to be naked in the midst of all created things, he felt the need to cover himself, and he made use of superfluous things, created things, to cover his nakedness.

“This is so true, that after My highest sorrow of seeing My garments divided and My tunic gambled away, as My Humanity rose again I took no other garments, but I clothed Myself with the most Refulgent Garment of the Sun of My Supreme Will.  That was the same Garment as the one that Adam possessed when he was created, because in order to open Heaven, My Humanity was to wear the Garment of the Light of the Sun of My Supreme Will—a Royal Garment; and as it gave Me the insignia of King and Dominion into My Hands, I opened Heaven to all the redeemed ones; and presenting Myself before My Celestial Father, I offered Him the Garments of His Divine Will, whole and beautiful, with which My Humanity was covered, so as to make Him recognize all the redeemed ones as Our children.

“So, while It is Life, at the same time My Divine Will is the True Garment of the creation of the creature, and therefore It holds all Rights over her.  But how much do they not do to escape from within this Light?  Therefore, be still in this Sun of the Eternal Fiat, and I (Jesus) will help you (Luisa) to maintain yourself in this Light.”

On hearing this, I said to Him:  “My Jesus and My All, how is this?  If Adam in the state of innocence had no need of garments because the Light of Your Will was more than garment, the Sovereign Queen, however, possessed Your Will as whole, and You Yourself were Your Will Itself; yet, neither the Celestial Mama nor Yourself wore the Garments of Light, and both of You made use of material garments to cover Yourselves.  How is this?”

And Jesus continued, saying:  “My daughter (Luisa), both My Mama and I came to set fraternal bonds with creatures; We came to raise decayed humanity, and therefore to take up the miseries and humiliations into which it had fallen, in order to expiate for them at the cost of Our Lives.  Had they seen Us clothed with Light, who would have dared to approach Us and to deal with Us?  And in the course of My Passion, who would have dared to touch Me?  The Light of the Sun of My Will would have blinded them and crushed them to the ground.

“Therefore, I had to make a greater miracle, hiding this Light within the Veil of My Humanity, and appearing as one of them, because It represented, not Adam innocent, but Adam fallen, and so I was to subject Myself to all of his evils, taking them upon Myself as if they were My own, in order to expiate for them before Divine Justice.  But when I rose again from death, representing Adam innocent, the New Adam, I ceased the miracle of keeping the Garments of the Refulgent Sun of My Divine Will hidden within the Veil of My Humanity, and I remained clothed with most pure Light; and with this Royal and Dazzling Garment I made My entrance into My Fatherland, leaving the doors open that had remained closed up to that point, so as to let all of those who had followed Me enter.

“Therefore, by not doing Our Will, there is no Good that one does not lose, and there is no evil that one does not acquire.”

The First Word that Adam Pronounced.  What the First Lesson that God gave him (Adam) was.  The Divine Will Operating in man.

            I am always the little tiny ignorant one of the Supreme Being, and when the Divine Volition plunges me in Its Seas, I see that hardly the vowels, if that, do I know about His Adorable Majesty.  And my littleness is so much, that hardly do I know how to swallow some little drop of the so much that the Creator possesses.  So, going around in the Works of the Divine Fiat, I stopped in Eden in which was made present to me the Creation of Man, and I thought to myself:  “What could be the first word that Adam said when he was Created by God?”

            And my Highest Good Jesus, visiting me with His brief little visit, all Goodness, as if He Himself wanted to tell it to me, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), I (Jesus) also feel the desire to tell you what was the First Word pronounced by the lips of the first creature (Adam) Created by Us.  You must know that no sooner did Adam feel Life, Motion, Reason, than he saw his God before him and he understood that He had formed him.  He felt in himself, in his whole being, still fresh, the impressions, the Touch of His Creative Hands.  And grateful, in an impetus of Love he pronounced his First Word:  ‘I Love You my God, my Father, Author of this my life.’  But it was not only the word, but the breath, the heartbeat, the drops of his blood that flowed in his veins, the motion, his whole being united together said as in chorus:  ‘I Love You, I Love You, I Love You.’ 

            “In fact, the first Lesson that he learned from his Creator, the first word that he learned to say, the first thought that had life in his mind, the first heartbeat that formed in his heart, was:  ‘I Love You, I Love You.’  He felt himself Loved, and he Loved.  I could say that his ‘I Love You’ never ended, it was so long that only then was it interrupted when he had the disgrace of falling into sin.  So Our Divinity felt wounded in hearing on the lips of man ‘I Love You, I Love You.’  It was the same Word that We had Created in the organ of his voice that said to Us:  ‘I Love You.’  It was Our Love, Created by Us in the creature, that said to Us:  ‘I Love You.’  How not to remain wounded?  How not to exchange him with a larger, stronger, Love, Worthy of Our Magnificence? 

            “As We heard ‘I Love You’ said to Us, so We repeated to him ‘I Love you.’   But in Our ‘I Love you’ We let the Operating Life of Our Divine Will flow in his whole being.  In fact, We enclosed in man, as within one of Our Temples, Our Will, such that It was enclosed in the human circle, while It remained in Us so that It could work great things and It could be the thought, the word, the heartbeat, the step and the work of man.  Our ‘I Love you’ could not give anything more Holy, more Beautiful, more Powerful, that alone could form the Life of the Creator in the creature, than Our Will Operating in him.  And O! how pleasing it is to Us to see that Our Will has Its place of Actor.  And the human volition, dazzled by Its Light, enjoyed its Paradise.  And giving It full Liberty, it let It do what It wanted, giving It the Primacy in everything and the place of Honor that is befitting to a Volition so Holy. 

            “See, therefore, the beginning of the Life of Adam was an Act, with his whole being, full of Love toward God.  What a sublime Lesson—how the beginning of Love would run in the whole operation of the creature.  The First Lesson that he received from Our Supreme Being in exchange for his ‘I Love You,’ was that while We tenderly Loved him, responding to his ‘I Love You,’ We gave him the first Lesson on Our Divine Will.  And while We instructed him We communicated to him Its Life and the Infused Science of what Our Divine Fiat means.  And every time he said ‘I Love You’ to Us, Our Love prepared for him other more Beautiful Lessons about Our Volition.  He remained enraptured and We delighted Ourselves in conversing with him, and We made Perennial Rivers of Love and of Joys flow over him such that the human life became enclosed by Us in Love and in Our Will.  Therefore, My daughter (Luisa), there is no greater Sorrow for Us, than seeing Our Love as broken in the creature, and Our Will obstructed, suffocated, without Its Operating Life, and as subordinate to the human volition.  So be attentive, and in all things have Love and My Divine Will for beginning.”

Every time the soul seeks the Lord, she receives a Divine Shade, a Divine Feature.

Continuing in my usual state, I felt a weight over my soul, as if the whole world weighed upon me because of the privation of blessed Jesus; and in my immense bitterness I did as much as I could to look for Him.  Then, once He came, He told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), every time the soul looks for Me, she receives a Divine Shade, a Divine Feature, and is reborn in Me as many times, and I AM reborn in her.”  While He was saying this, I was thinking of what He had said, almost surprised, and I said:  ‘Lord, what are You saying?’  And He added:  “Oh, if you knew the Glory – the Taste that the whole of Heaven feels in receiving this note from the earth:  a soul (Luisa) that constantly seeks God, all similar to them.  What is the Life of the Blessed?  What is it that forms It?  Their being reborn continuously in God, and God in them.  This is the saying:  ‘God is ever Old and ever New’.  Nor do they ever feel tired, because they are in continuous attitude of New Life in God.”

Effects of the prayers of the souls who are intimate with Jesus.

I was saying to my sweet Jesus: “See, I don’t know how to do anything, nor do I have anything to give You, but I want to give You my trifles. I unite these trifles of mine to the All, as You are, and I ask You for souls. Therefore, as I breathe, my breathing asks You for souls; the beating of my heart, with incessant cries, asks You for souls; the motion of my arms, the blood which circulates in me, the batting of my eyelids, the movements of my lips – are souls that I ask of You. And I ask this united with You, with Your Love and in Your Will, so that everyone may hear my incessant cry within You, always asking for souls.”

Now, as I was saying this and other things, my Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter (Luisa), how sweet and pleasing to Me, is the prayer of the souls who are intimate with Me! How I (Jesus) feel My hidden Life of Nazareth being repeated – with no outward appearance, without any circle of people, with no sound of bells; completely neglected and alone, to the extent that I was barely known. I kept rising between Heaven and earth, asking for souls – not even a breath or a heartbeat escaped Me, which did not ask for souls. And as I did this, My blast resounded in Heaven, and drew the Love of the Father to give Me souls. This same sound, reverberating in hearts, cried out in a sonorous Voice: ‘Souls!’ How many wonders did I not work during My hidden Life, known only to My Father in Heaven and to My Mother on earth!

The same for the hidden soul (Luisa), who is intimate with Me: as she prays, though no sound is heard on earth, her prayers, like bells, resound more vibrantly in Heaven, to the extent of calling the whole of Heaven to unite Itself with her, and to let Mercy descend upon the earth, which resounding not to the hearing but to the hearts of creatures, may dispose them to convert.”
