The Sanctity in the Divine Will has no boundaries; It is the Sanctity Closest to the Creator; It will have Primacy over all other sanctities, and will be their Life. The Divine Will is the Eternal Miracle that never ends.

I write only to obey; otherwise I would not be good at writing a single word. Only the fear that I might sadden my sweet Jesus, if I did not do it, gives me stamina and strength. Now, He continues to speak to me about His Most Holy Will; and upon coming, He said to me: “My daughter (Luisa), the Sanctity in My Divine Will is not yet known. This is the reason for their surprise; in fact, when something has been known, the surprise ceases. All sanctities are symbolized by something which is spread in the Creation: there are sanctities symbolized by mountains, others by trees, others by plants, the little flower, the stars; and many other similes. All of these sanctities have their own limited and individual Good; they have their beginning and also their end – they cannot embrace everything and do Good to all, just as a tree or a flower cannot do so.

Now, the Sanctity in My Divine Will will be symbolized by the sun. The sun has always been, and will always be; and even though It had a beginning in illuminating the world, however, since it is light which takes origin from My Eternal Light, one can say that It has no beginning. The sun does good to all; It extends to all with its light; It makes no exception with anyone. With its majesty and dominion, it rules over all and gives life to all, even to the tiniest flower – but silently, without noise, and almost unobserved. Oh, if a plant did a little something, a shadow of what the sun does, giving heat to another plant, all would shout, ‘miracle!; all would want to see it, and would speak about it with amazement. But then, the sun gives life and heat to everything and is the continuous miracle, and nobody talks about It – there is no amazement. This happens because man keeps his eyes always down below and toward earthly things – never up high and toward Celestial Things.

Now, the Sanctity in My Divine Will, symbolized by the sun, will come out from the Center of My own Sanctity; It will be a Ray delivered by My Sanctity, which has no beginning. Therefore, these souls existed in My Sanctity; they exist, and will exist. They were together with Me in the  Good I did; they never went out of the Ray in which I (Jesus) had delivered them to the Light. Since they never departed from My DivineWill, I amused Myself with them, and I still do. My Union with them is permanent. I see them floating over everything; human supports do not exist for them, just as the sun does not lean on anything – it lives up high as though isolated, but with its light it encloses everything within itself. The same for these souls: they Live up high like the sun, but their Light descends to the lowest bottom and extends to all. I (Jesus) would feel as if I defrauded them if I did not keep them aware, and did not let them do what I do. Therefore, there is no Good which does not descend from them.

In this Sanctity I (Jesus) see My Shadows, My Images, flying over the whole earth, in the air and in Heaven. This is why I Love and will Love the world: because I AM waiting for My Sanctity to have Its Echo over the earth, and for My Rays to come out to the Light, giving Me complete Glory, returning to Me the Love and the Honor which the others have not given to Me. However, just like the sun, they will be the most unobserved, without clamor at all. And if anyone will want to look at them, My Jealousy will be such that they will run the risk of remaining blinded, and will be forced to lower their eyes in order to regain their sight. Do you see how beautiful is the Sanctity in My Divine Will? It is the Sanctity closest to your Creator. This is why It will have Primacy over all other sanctities. It will enclose within Itself all other sanctities together, and will be Life of all other sanctities.

What a Grace it is for you (Luisa) to know It! To be the First, like solar ray, to come out from the Center of My Sanctity, without ever detaching from It! Greater Grace I (Jesus) could not give you (Luisa) – more Portentous Miracle I (Jesus) could not operate in you (Luisa). Be attentive, My daughter (Luisa), My Ray, because every time you (Luisa) enter into My Divine Will and operate, it happens as when the sun hits the glass: many suns are formed in it. In the same way, you (Luisa) repeat My Life many times; you multiply It, and give New Life to My Love.”

After this, I was thinking to myself: ‘In this Holy Will one cannot see miracles, and those portentous things for which creatures are so greedy, and would go around half the world in order to have some of them. On the contrary, everything passes between the soul and God; and if creatures receive Good, they don’t know where it came from. It really is like the sun which, while it gives life to all, nobody points out at it.’ Now, as I was thinking of this, Jesus, coming back, added, but with an imposing look: “What miracles, what miracles! Isn’t perhaps doing My Divine Will the Greatest Miracle? My Divine Will is Eternal, and is the Eternal Miracle that never ends. It is the Miracle of every instant in which the human will has a continuous connection with the Divine Will. Raising the dead, giving sight to the blind and the like, are not Eternal Things – they are subject to perish. They can be called shadows of miracles, fleeting miracles, compared to the Great and Permanent Miracle of Living in My Divine Will. You – do not pay attention to those miracles; I know when they are appropriate and needed.”

(Luisa) One who Lives in the Divine Will feels the very Wound which God feels as if it were her own; so she (Luisa) becomes like another Jesus on earth.

This morning I felt such compassion for the offenses that Jesus receives and for the many poor creatures who have the misfortune of offending Him that I would face any pain in order to prevent sin. So I prayed and repaired from the heart. At that moment, blessed Jesus came and seemed to carry the same wounds of my heart, but – oh, how much larger! He told me: “My daughter (Luisa), in delivering the creature, My Divinity remained wounded by My own Love, for Love of the creature. This Wound made Me come down from Heaven to earth; it made Me cry, shed My Blood, and do all that I did.

Now, the soul (Luisa) who Lives in My (Divine) Will vividly feels this Wound of Mine as if it were her own. She (Luisa) cries, prays and would suffer anything, to save the poor creature, and so that My Wound of Love may not be exacerbated by the offenses of the creatures. Ah, My daughter (Luisa), these tears, pains, prayers and reparations soothe My Wound and descend upon My Breast, to be shown to My Father and move Him to pity for creatures.

Therefore, a Divine Vein ascends and descends between Me and these souls (souls Linked with Luisa, who Live in the Divine Will); a Vein which keeps consuming their human blood. The more they take part in My Wound and in My own Life, the larger this Vein becomes. It becomes so large as to render them other Christs. And I (Jesus) keep repeating to My Father: ‘I AM in Heaven, but there are other Christs on earth, wounded with My own Wound, who cry like Me; who suffer, pray etc., like Me; so We must pour Our Mercy upon the earth…’ Ah, only these who Live in My Volition take part in My Wound. They are like Me on earth, and they will be like Me in Heaven, sharing in the same Glory of My Humanity.”

The most Perfect Love is in True Trust in the Beloved.

As He continued not to come, I felt immersed in the greatest bitterness; my soul was tortured in a thousand ways. Then I felt as though a shadow near me, and I heard the voice of my Adorable Jesus, though I could not see Him, saying to me: “The most Perfect Love is in the True Trust that one must have in the loved object, and even if it should appear that the object one loves is lost – then more than ever is the time to prove this Living Trust. This is the easiest means to take possession of that which one ardently Loves.” Having said this, both shadow and voice disappeared. Who can say the pain I feel for not having seen my Beloved Good?

How True Love forgets himself.

Continuing in my usual state, I saw blessed Jesus for just a little, saying to me:  “My daughter (Luisa), True Love forgets himself and lives of the interests, of the pains and of everything that belongs to the beloved.”  And I:  ‘Lord, how can one forget himself when we feel ourselves so much?  It is not something far away from us, or separated, which can easily be forgotten.’  And, again, He added that that is precisely the sacrifice of True Love – that while one has himself, he must live of everything that belongs to the beloved.  Even more, if he remembers himself, this memory must serve him to become more industrious about how to consume himself for the loved object.  And if the beloved sees that the soul gives all of herself to Him, He will know well how to repay her by giving her all of Himself and letting her Live of His Divine Life.  So, one who forgets himself completely, finds everything.  Moreover, it is necessary to see the difference that exists between what one forgets and what one finds:  one forgets what is ugly and finds what is Beautiful; one forgets nature and finds Grace; one forgets passions and finds Virtues; one forgets poverty and finds Richness; one forgets foolishness and finds Wisdom; one forgets the world and finds Heaven.”

 Difference between the operating of Jesus and the operating of man.

While I was longing for my adorable Jesus, He came in the appearance He had when His enemies were slapping Him, covering His face with spit, and blindfolding Him. With admirable Patience He suffered everything; even more, it seemed He would not even look at them, so much was He intent in His Interior on looking at the Fruit which those sufferings would produce. I admired everything with amazement, and Jesus told me: “My daughter (Luisa), in My Operating and Suffering I (Jesus) never looked outside, but always inside; and whatever it might be, in seeing its Fruit, I would not just suffer it, but I would suffer everything with Yearning and Avidity. On the other hand, completely opposite, man, in operating Good, does not look inside the work, and not seeing its Fruit, he becomes easily bored, everything bothers him, and many times he neglects doing Good. If he suffers, he easily loses his patience; and if he does evil, not looking inside that evil, he does it with ease.” Then He added: “Creatures do not want to convince themselves that Life must be accompanied by various circumstances, now of sufferings, now of consolation. Yet, even plants and flowers give them an example of this by remaining submitted to winds, snows, hail and heat.”

 Effects of meditating continuously on the Passion.

Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking about the Passion of Our Lord; and while I was doing this, He came and told me: “My daughter (Luisa), one who meditates continuously on My Passion and feels sorrow for it and compassion for Me, pleases Me so much that I (Jesus) feel as though comforted for all that I suffered in the course of My Passion; and by always meditating on it, the soul (Luisa and the souls Linked to Luisa) arrives at preparing a continuous Food. In this Food there are many different Spices and Flavors, which form different Effects. So, if in the course of My Passion they gave Me ropes and chains to tie Me, the soul releases Me and gives Me freedom. They despised Me, spat on Me, and dishonored Me; she appreciates Me, cleans Me of that spittle, and honors Me. They stripped Me and scourged Me; she heals Me and clothes Me. They crowned Me with thorns, mocking Me as king, embittered My Mouth with bile, and crucified Me; while the soul, meditating on all My Pains, Crowns Me with Glory and Honors Me as her king, fills My Mouth with Sweetness, giving Me the most delicious Food, which is the memory of My own Works; and unnailing Me from the Cross, she makes Me rise again in her heart. And every time she does so, I (Jesus) give her a New Life of Grace as recompense. She is My Food, and I (Jesus) become her Continuous Food. So, the thing that pleases Me the most is meditating continuously on My Passion.”

NOVEMBER 9

FEAST DAY OF THE DEDICATION OF ST. JOHN LATERAN BASILICA

Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome. The Basilica of St. John Lateran is the cathedral of Rome. This is not St. Peter’s, but it is the Pope’s cathedral. Also called the Church of Holy Savior or the Church of St. John Baptist, it was the baptism church of ancient Rome. It was built in the time of Constantine and was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in 324. This feast became a universal celebration in honor of the basilica called “the mother and mistress of all churches of Rome and the world” (omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput) as a sign of love for and union with the See of Peter.

 Benedict XVI, Angelus Address, November 9, 2008:

Dear friends, today’s feast celebrates a mystery that is always relevant: God’s desire to build a spiritual temple in the world, a community that worships him in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23-24). But this observance also reminds us of the importance of the material buildings in which the community gathers to celebrate the praises of God. Every community therefore has the duty to take special care of its own sacred buildings, which are a precious religious and historical patrimony. For this we call upon the intercession of Mary Most Holy, that she help us to become, like her, the “house of God,” living temple of his love.

The Temple of Stones is a Symbol of the Living Church

Today the liturgy celebrates the dedication of the Lateran Basilica, called “mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world.” In fact, this basilica was the first to be built after Emperor Constantine’s edict, in 313, granted Christians freedom to practice their religion.

The emperor himself gave Pope Miltiades the ancient palace of the Laterani family, and the basilica, the baptistery, and the patriarchate, that is, the Bishop of Rome’s residence — where the Popes lived until the Avignon period — were all built there. The basilica’s dedication was celebrated by Pope Sylvester around 324 and was named Most Holy Savior; only after the 6th century were the names of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist added, and now is typically denominated by these latter.

Initially the observance of this feast was confined to the city of Rome; then, beginning in 1565, it was extended to all the Churches of the Roman rite. The honoring of this sacred edifice was a way of expressing love and veneration for the Roman Church, which, as St. Ignatius of Antioch says, “presides in charity” over the whole Catholic communion (Letter to the Romans, 1:1).

On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual edifice,” built by God with “living stones,” namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:20-22). “Brothers, you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added: “holy is God’s temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17).

The beauty and harmony of the churches, destined to give praise to God, also draws us human beings, limited and sinful, to convert to form a “cosmos,” a well-ordered structure, in intimate communion with Jesus, who is the true Saint of saints. This happens in a culminating way in the Eucharistic liturgy, in which the “ecclesia,” that is, the community of the baptized, come together in a unified way to listen to the Word of God and nourish themselves with the Body and Blood of Christ. From these two tables the Church of living stones is built up in truth and charity and is internally formed by the Holy Spirit transforming herself into what she receives, conforming herself more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ. She herself, if she lives in sincere and fraternal unity, in this way becomes the spiritual sacrifice pleasing to God.

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.
