FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

11/8/21 – Vol. 13

To Live in the Divine Will Means to Multiply the Life of Jesus, with all the Good It Possesses. Jesus says to Luisa: “Blessed are you (Luisa), and all generations will call you (Luisa) Blessed.”

As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen while taking a light from my interior, and carrying it away. I shouted: ‘Jesus, what are You doing? Do You want to leave me in the dark?’ And He, with all sweetness, told me: “My daughter (Luisa), do not fear. I AM taking your little light with Me, and I (Jesus) leave you Mine. This little light of yours is nothing other than your will which, having placed itself in front of Mine, has received the Reflection of My Divine Will. That’s why it became a light. I AM taking it in order to let it go around. I (Jesus) will take it to Heaven as the most rare and beautiful thing – which is the human will that has received the Reflection of the Will of its Creator. I (Jesus) will let it wander among the Divine Persons, so that They may receive the Homages and Adorations of Their own Reflections – the only ones worthy of Them. Then I will show it to all the Saints, so that they too may receive the Glory of the Reflections of the Divine Will in the human will. And then, I (Jesus) will make it flow through the whole earth, so that all may take part in such a Great Good.”

Immediately, I added: ‘My Love, forgive me. I thought You wanted to leave me in the dark. This is why I said, “What are You doing?” But when it is about my will, feel free to take it and do whatever You want.’

Now, while Jesus was carrying this little light in His Hands, I cannot say what happened – I lack the words to express myself… I just remember that He placed the little light in front of His Person, and the little light received all His Reflections, in such a way as to Form another Jesus. And every time my will repeated its acts, so many Jesuses were multiplied. Then, my Jesus told me: “Do you (Luisa) see what it means to Live in My Divine Will? It is to multiply My Life as many times as one wants, and to repeat all the Good which My Life contains.”

Afterwards, I was saying to my Jesus: ‘My Life, I enter into Your Will to be able to extend myself in everyone and to everything – from the first to the last thought, from the first to the last word, from the first to the last action and step that were done, are done, and will be done. I want to seal everything with Your Will, so that You may receive from everything the Glory of Your Sanctity, of Your Love, of Your Power; and so that all that is human may remain covered, hidden, marked by Your Divine Will. May nothing – nothing human remain, in which You do not receive Divine Glory.’

Now, while I was doing this and other things, my sweet Jesus came all Festive, accompanied by innumerable Blessed, and said: “The whole of Creation says to Me: ‘My glory, my glory’.” And all the Saints answered: ‘Here, O Lord, we give You Divine Glory for everything.’ I could hear an Echo from all sides, saying: ‘For everything we give You Love and Glory.’

And Jesus added: “Blessed are you (Luisa), and all generations will call you (Luisa) Blessed. My Arm will make Works of Power in you. You (Luisa) will be the Divine Reflection; and filling the whole earth, you will make Me receive from all generations that Glory which they deny to Me.” On hearing this, I remained confused, annihilated, and I did not want to write. And He, caressing me, told me: “No, no, you (Luisa) will do it – I want it. What I said will serve as Honor of My Divine Will. I Myself wanted to pay the just Homage which befits the Sanctity of My Divine Will; rather, I (Jesus) said nothing compared to what I could say.”

Purgatory and Indulgences. There’s a lot of confusion out there. Here’s the Catholic Church’s official teaching on how to spring a soul from Purgatory from November 1-8.

According to the current Enchiridion of Indulgences, one can apply a plenary indulgence to a departed soul by the “visitation of a cemetary” {Coemeterii visitatio} from November 1st till the 8th (i.e. the octave of All Saints).

Here’s the official text:

13. Visit to a Cemetery (Coemeterii visitatio)

An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed.

The indulgence is plenary each day from the 1st to the 8th of November; on other days of the year it is partial.

In order for the indulgence to be plenary, the following conditions must also be met alone with the visit and prayers at the cemetery:

1. Sacramental confession within “about twenty days”[1] of the actual day of the Plenary Indulgence.
2. Eucharistic Communion on the day of the Plenary Indulgence.
3. Prayer for the intentions of the Pope on the day of the Plenary Indulgence.
4. It is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent.

The Queen of Heaven Yearns with Love, Wanting to Endow Her children.

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

 11/7/37 – Vol. 35

“My blessed daughter (Luisa), one who Lives in My Will can enter everywhere, and can give Me everything, even My Celestial Mother—as if She (Mary) were her own; the way in which She (Mary) Loved Me, and everything that I (Jesus) did.  This creature (Luisa) can even duplicate My Life—as if It were her own, and give It to Me to Love Me.

“You must know that, as I (Jesus) Formed the Day of the creature by Manifesting many Truths on My Divine Will to you (Luisa), so the Sovereign of Heaven, with Her Love, sufferings, Prayers and Acts—which, done in My Divine Will, filled Heaven and earth, Forming the appropriate Endowment for those who will Live in It—with great anxiety longs and sighs to be able to equip Her children!  She (Mary) sees Herself immersed in many Riches of Grace, Love and Sanctity, but She can’t find Her children to equip them, since they don’t Live in that same Will in which She Lived.  Look, My daughter (Luisa), how it is written in everything She (Mary) did and suffered: ‘For My children.’  Therefore, if She (Mary) Loves, She calls her children to receive the Endowment of Her Love in order to make Us Recognize them as Her children and as Our children too, and to Love them as We Love Her; if She (Mary) prays, She wants to give the Endowment of Her Prayer…. In sum, She (Mary) wants to provide them with all Her Sanctity, with Her Pains, and with the very Life of Her Son.

“How touching it is to hear Her (Mary) and to look at Her keeping Her children within Her Maternal Heart, as if inside a Sacrarium.  In all Her Acts and breaths She (Mary) calls Her children, and says to Our Supreme Being:  ‘All that I am and possess, is all for My children. Please, listen to Me!  I feel My Heart bursting for Love!  Have mercy on a Mother, who Loves and wants to provide for Her children, to make them happy!  My Happiness is not full.  I feel it halved because I don’t have My children delighting together with Me.  Therefore, hurry—may the Divine Will be known, so that they may also know the restlessness of their Mother, and how I (Mary) want to provide for them, and make them Happy and Holy!’

“Do you think that We remain indifferent before this touching scene; before She (Mary), who is in spasms of Love—so much that, with Her Maternal Tenderness and with Her Rights as a Mother, She prays to Us, and begs Us?  Ah, no!  How many times, because of Her (Mary’s) concerns, I (Jesus) Manifest more surprising Truths on My Fiat, to give Her Free Reign to pour out to Her children a more extensive provision, since She will be allowed to do it only in accordance with their Knowledge.  Therefore, you (Luisa) too, enter My Divine Will and, together with this Celestial Mother, pray and supplicate that Our Will may be Known and Reign in all the creatures.”

The Good that the Hours of the Passion Produce for Jesus and for the soul who does them.

As I continued the usual Hours of the Passion, my adorable Jesus told me: “My daughter (Luisa), the world is in continuous act of renewing My Passion; and since My Immensity envelopes everything, inside and outside the creatures, I AM forced to receive from their contact nails, thorns, scourges, scorns, spits and all the rest which I suffered in the Passion – and still more. Now, at the contact with souls who do these Hours of My Passion I feel the nails being removed, the thorns shattered, the wounds soothed, the spits taken away. I feel compensated by Good for the evil that others do to Me. Feeling that their contact does not do harm to Me, but Good, I (Jesus) lean more and more on them.”

Furthermore, returning to speak about these Hours of the Passion, blessed Jesus said: “My daughter (Luisa), know that by doing these Hours the soul takes My Thoughts and makes them her own; she takes My Reparations, My Prayers, Desires, Affections, and even My most intimate Fibers and makes them her own. So, rising up between Heaven and earth, she does My same Office, and as co-redemptrix, she says to Me: ‘Ecce ego, mitte me [Here I am, send me]. I want to repair for all, answer to You for all, and plead Good for all.’”

The Tree of Life, Rooted in the Heart of Jesus.

This morning my adorable Jesus made Himself seen in my interior, and He seemed to have a Tree planted in His Heart, and so rooted into It, that its Roots arose from the Center of His Heart. In sum, it seemed to be born together with It, with the same Nature. I was amazed at seeing Its Beauty, Strikingness and Height, which seemed to touch the heavens; and Its Branches extended out to the farthest ends of the world. Now, on seeing me so amazed, Blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter (Luisa), this Tree was Conceived together with Me, in the Center of My Heart, and from that moment I felt in My inmost Heart all the Good and the evil that man would do with this Tree of Redemption, called ‘Tree of Life’. In fact, all those souls who remain United to this Tree will receive the Life of Grace in time, and when the Tree has raised them well, It will administer to them the Life of Glory in Eternity. Yet, what is not My Sorrow? Even though they cannot root out the Tree, nor can they touch the Trunk, many try to cut some Branches so that souls may not receive Life, and to take away from Me all the Glory and the Pleasure that this Tree of Life would have produced for Me.” While saying this, He disappeared.

The new and continuous way to meditate the Hours of the Passion.

I was doing the Hours of the Passion and Jesus, all pleased, told me: “My daughter (Luisa), if you knew what great satisfaction I (Jesus) feel in seeing you repeating these Hours of My Passion – always repeating them, over and over again – you would be happy. It is true that My Saints have meditated My Passion and understood how much I suffered, melting in tears of compassion, to the extent of feeling consumed for love of My Pains; however, not in this continuous manner, always repeated and in this order. Therefore, I (Jesus) can say that you (Luisa) are the first one to give Me this taste, so great and special, as you keep fragmenting within you – hour by hour – My Life and all that I suffered. I feel so attracted that, hour after hour, I (Jesus) give you (Luisa) this Food and I eat the same Food with you, doing what you do together with you. Know that I will Reward you (Luisa) abundantly with New Light and New Graces even after your death. Each time the souls on earth will do these Hours of My Passion, in Heaven I will clothe you (Luisa) with ever New Light and Glory.”

November 02, 2013 Message to Mirjana

“Dear children; anew, in a motherly way, I am calling you to love, to continually pray for the gift of love, to love the Heavenly Father above everything.

When you love Him you will love yourself and your neighbor. This cannot be separated. The Heavenly Father is in each person.

He loves each person and calls each person by name. Therefore, my children, through prayer hearken to the will of the Heavenly Father.

Converse with Him. Have a personal relationship with the Father, which will deepen even more your relationship as a community of my children – my apostles.

As a mother I desire that through the love for the Heavenly Father, you may be raised above earthly vanities, and may help others to gradually come to know,

and come closer to the Heavenly Father. My children, pray, pray, pray for the gift of love because ‘love’ is my Son.

Pray for your shepherds that they may always have love for you as my Son had, and showed by giving His life for your salvation.

Thank you.”

The Soul’s Acts Done in the Divine Will on Earth and the Effect of Those Acts in Purgatory

BOOK OF HEAVEN

11/3/26 – Vol. 20

The more the soul has done the Divine Will on earth, the more Paths she has formed for herself in order to receive suffrages in Purgatory.  The more the soul possesses of the Divine Will, the more value her prayers, works and pains contain.

I continue to live all abandoned in the adorable Will; and while I was praying, I thought to myself:  “How I would like to descend into the prisons of the purging souls to release them all, and in the Light of the Eternal Will, bring them all to the Celestial Fatherland.”

At that moment, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), the more the souls who have passed to the next life have been submitted to My Divine Will, and the more acts they have done in It, the more Paths they have formed for themselves in order to receive suffrages from the earth.  So, the more they have done My Divine Will, forming for themselves the ways of communication of the Goods that are present in the Church and that belong to Me, there is no Path formed by them that does not bring, to some a relief, to some a prayer, to some a diminution of pains.  The suffrages walk within these royal Paths of My Divine Will, to bring to each one the Merit, the Fruit and the Capital that one has formed for oneself in My Divine Will.  Therefore, without It, there are no Paths and no means in order to receive suffrages.  Even though the suffrages and everything that the Church does always descend into Purgatory, they go, however, to those who have formed Paths for themselves.

“For the others, who have not done My Will, the Paths are closed or do not exist at all; and if these were saved, it is because at least at the point of death they have recognized the Supreme Dominion of My Divine Will, they have adored It, and have submitted themselves to It—and this last act has rescued them; otherwise, they could not even be saved.  For one (Luisa) who has always done My Divine Will, there are no Paths to Purgatory—his Path goes straight to Heaven.  And one who has recognized My Divine Will and has submitted to It, not in everything and always, but in great part, has formed for himself so many Paths and receives so much, that Purgatory sends him quickly to Heaven.

“Now, just as the purging souls had to form their Paths to be able to receive suffrages, in the same way, the living, in order to send suffrages, must do My Divine Will in order to form their Paths, so as to make their suffrages ascend into Purgatory.  If they make suffrages, but they are far away from My Divine Will, since the communication with My Divine Will is missing, that alone unites and binds everyone, their suffrages will not find the way in order to ascend, the feet to be able to walk, the strength in order to give relief.  They will be suffrages without Life, because the True Life of My Divine Will is missing, that alone has the Virtue of giving Life to all Goods.

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

“But do you know who can bring all Reliefs, the Light that Purifies, the Love that Transforms?  (Luisa) One who possesses the Life of My Divine Will in everything and in whom It Dominates Triumphantly.  This soul (Luisa) has not even need of Paths, because by possessing My Divine Will, she (Luisa) has the Right to all Paths.  She (Luisa) can go to all points, because she (Luisa) possesses within herself the Royal Path of My Divine Will in order to go into that deep prison, to bring them all Reliefs and Liberations.  More so since, in creating man, We gave him Our Will as his Special Inheritance, and We recognize everything he has done within the Boundaries of Our Inheritance, with that We Endowed him.

“Anything else is not recognized by Us—it is not Our Thing, nor can We allow anything to enter Heaven that has not been done by creatures either in Our Will, or at least in order to do It.  Since Creation came out of the Eternal Fiat, Our Will, jealous, allows no act to enter the Celestial Fatherland that has not passed through Its Fiat Itself.  Oh! If all knew what Will of God means, and how all works, even those that appear to be Good, but are empty of It, are works empty of Light, empty of Value, empty of Life; and works without Light, without Value and without Life do not enter into Heaven.  Oh! how attentive they would be to do My Divine Will in everything and forever.”

FEAST DAY OF ALL SOULS

NOVEMBER 2

All Souls — The need and duty of prayer for the departed souls has been acknowledged by the Church at all times. It is recommended in the Scriptures of the Old Testament (2 Macch. 12, 46), and found expression not only in public and private prayers but especially in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice for the repose of souls. The customary dates for public services of this kind were, and still are, the day of death and burial, the seventh and thirtieth day after death (Month”s Mind Mass), and the anniversary. Except for the funeral Mass, the actual observance of these dates is not made obligatory by the Church but left to the piety of relatives and friends of the deceased.

The memorial feast of all departed ones in a common celebration was inaugurated by Abbot Saint Odilo of Cluny (1048). He issued a decree that all monasteries of the congregation of Cluny were annually to keep November 2 as a “day of all the departed ones” (Omnium Defunctorum). On November 1, after vespers, the bell should be tolled and afterward the Office of the Dead be recited; on the next day all priests had to say Mass for the repose of the souls in purgatory.⁶²

This observance of the Benedictines of Cluny was soon adopted by other Benedictines, and by the Carthusians. Pope Sylvester II (1003) approved and recommended it. It was some time, though, before the secular clergy introduced it in the various dioceses. From the eleventh to the fourteenth centuries it gradually spread in France, Germany, England, and Spain, until finally, in the fourteenth century, Rome placed the day of the commemoration of all the faithful departed in the official books of the Western Church for November 2 (or November 3 if the second falls on a Sunday).

November 2 was chosen in order that the memory of all the “holy spirits” both of the saints in Heaven and of the souls in purgatory should be celebrated on two successive days, and in this way to express the Christian belief in the “Communion of Saints.” Since the Feast of All Saints had already been celebrated on November 1 for centuries, the memory of the departed souls in purgatory was placed on the following day.

In the Greek Rite the commemoration of all the faithful departed is held on the Saturday before Sexagesima Sunday, and is called the “Saturday of the Souls” (Psychosabbaton). The Armenians celebrate it on Easter Monday, with the solemn Office of the Dead. The Mass, however, is that of the Resurrection. An interesting and moving observance is held in the Syrian-Antiochene Rite where they celebrate on three separate days: on Friday before Septuagesima they commemorate all departed priests; on Friday before Sexagesima, all the faithful departed; and on Friday before Quinquagesima, “all those who died in strange places, away from their parents and friends.”

Pope Benedict XV in 1915 allowed all priests to say three Masses on All Souls” Day in order to give increased help to the suffering souls in purgatory. The Church has also granted to all faithful special privileges of gaining indulgences for the holy souls on November 1 and 2. The Office of the Dead is recited by priests and religious communities. In many places the graves in the cemeteries are blessed on the eve or in the morning of All Souls” Day, and a solemn service is usually held in parish churches.

The liturgical color at all services on November 2 is black. The Masses are part of the group called “Requiem” Masses because they start with the words Requiem aeternam dona eis (Eternal rest grant unto them).

The sequence sung at the solemn Mass on All Souls” Day (and on other occasions) is the famous poem Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) written by a thirteenth-century Franciscan. It has been often ascribed to Thomas of Celano (1260), the friend and biographer of Saint Francis of Assisi, though the authorship is not certain.

CHAPTER FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

 LUISA AND SOULS

Volume 30 – December 25, 1931 – “My daughter (Luisa), come into this Light—I (Jesus) want you (Luisa) here.  The virtue of My Light, Its Motion as Fount of Life, does nothing other than unleash souls—that is, Life of creatures—from within Its Womb of Light.  Its Power is so Great that, as it moves, it emits souls; and I want My beloved (Luisa) together with Me, in the Womb of My Light—that is, of My Divine Will.  As souls are formed and emitted outside, I do not want to be alone, but I (Jesus) want your company (Luisa), that you may recognize the Great Portent of the Creation of souls—Our Excessive Love.  And since I want you in My Divine Will, I (Jesus) want to deposit them in you (Luisa), entrust them (souls) to you (Luisa), not leaving them alone while they journey as pilgrims through the earth, but having someone together with Me who would protect them and defend them for Me.

“O! how sweet is the company of one (Luisa) who takes care of the Lives that come out of Me.  This is so pleasing to Me, that I (Jesus) make one (Luisa) who Lives in My Divine Will the Depository of the Creation of souls, the Channel by which I let them come out to the Light, and the Channel to let them reenter into the Celestial Fatherland.  Everything do I (Jesus) want to give to one (Luisa) who wants to Live in My Fiat.  Their company is necessary to My Love, to My Outpourings, and to My Works, for they want to be recognized.  To act and not to be recognized—they are like works that cannot Boast Triumph, nor Sing Victory and Glory.  Therefore, do not deny Me your company; you would deny your Jesus an Outpouring of Love, and My Works would lack the Cortege and the appreciation of the creature, and would remain like isolated Works; and My Love, constrained, would turn into Justice.”
