VOLUMES: Jesus gives the title to the Book about His Will.

Vol. XIX, August 27, 1926, Luisa Piccarreta


 « As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made me see the reverend father who must occupy himself with the printing of the writings on the adorable Will of God. And Jesus, placing Himself near him, said to him: “My son, the title you will give to the book you will print about my Will is this:

The Kingdom of my Divine Will
in the midst of creatures

Book of Heaven

The call of the creature to the order, the place and the purpose for which he was created by God." »

         

DIVINE PLAN: my primary purpose was to make of man the image of the Divine Trinity by virtue of the fulfillment of my Will upon him.

Vol. XIX, June 20, 1926, Luisa Piccarreta


« My ideal in Creation was the Kingdom of my Will in the soul of the creature; my primary purpose was to make of man the image of the Divine Trinity by virtue of the fulfillment of my Will upon him. But as man withdrew from It, I lost my Kingdom in him, and for as long as six thousand years I had to sustain a long battle. But, long as it has been, I have not dismissed my ideal and my primary purpose, nor will I dismiss it; and if I came in Redemption, I came to realize my ideal and my primary purpose – that is, the Kingdom of my Will in souls. This is so true, that in order to come, I formed my first Kingdom of the Supreme Volition in the Heart of my Immaculate Mama - outside of my Kingdom I would never have come upon earth. Then I suffered hardships and pains, I was wounded and killed at last, but the Kingdom of my Will was not realized; I laid the foundations, I made some preparations, but the bloody battle between the human will and the Divine has yet continued. »

   

SANCTITY: Jesus will make the Sanctity of living in the Divine Will reappear.

Vol. XII, November 20, 1917, Luisa Piccarreta


« Oh! The beautiful living in my Will. I like it so much that I will make disappear all other sanctities under any other aspect of virtue in the future generations, and I will make the Sanctity of living in my Will reappear, which are and will be, not human sanctities, but divine. And their Sanctity will be so high that, like suns, they will eclipse the most beautiful stars of the Saints of the past generations. This is why I want to purge the earth – because it is unworthy of these portents of Sanctity. »

   

SANCTITY: The Sanctity of living in the Divine Will is exempt from personal interest and waste of time.

Vol. XII, November 27, 1917, Luisa Piccarreta


So, after I had written about His Will on November 20, my sweet Jesus, being disappointed with me, told me:

« “My daughter, you did not say everything. I want you to neglect to write nothing when I speak to you about my Will - not even the littlest things, because all of them will serve for the good of posterity. In all sanctities there have always been Saints who, as the first, have started each kind of sanctity. So, there was the Saint who started the sanctity of the penitent; another who started the sanctity of obedience; another of humility, and so with all other sanctities. Now I want you to be the beginning of the sanctity of living in my Will... »

     

THE KINGDOM OF GOD: will be established and founded upon the Truths that I have manifested. 

Vol. XXXVI, November 13, 1938, Luisa Piccarreta


« Now, you must know that the Kingdom of God will be established and founded upon the Truths that I have manifested. The more truths I manifest, the more sumptuous, beautiful, majestic and overflowing with good and happiness will My Kingdom be; my truths will form the government, the laws, the food, the brave army, the defense and the life of those living in It. »

   

DIVINE PLAN: The longings of Jesus.

Excerpts from various volumes, Luisa Piccarreta


« I am drowning out of Love! I have come to bring you the greatest gift: I’ve come to teach you how to live in my Will! »

« Man in Eden, through rebellion, broke the bonds that united the Supreme Will of his Creator to his own. He stripped himself of the royal vestments of my Will, and redressed himself with the miserable rags of his own human will, which was weak, inconstant and incapable of any good. However, my Divine Will was for him a sweet enchantment that absorbed him so much in Its most pure light that kept him from knowing anything else other than his God, from whom he came and who gave him unending happiness. Oh! How happy man was, by not thinking of himself in anything, and how pleased the Divinity was in endowing him with so many divine treasures…!  »

« I love man as much as I love myself; wanting to form in his heart the residence of my Volition, I want to infuse my own Divinity in him... »

   

SANCTITY: Oh, how I wish so make everyone know how true sanctity is in doing the Divine Will and in living in the Divine Volition!

Vol. XII, August 14, 1917, Luisa Piccarreta


« Living in the Divine Will means being inseparable, doing nothing by oneself, because before the Divine Will one feels incapable of anything. He does not ask for orders, nor does he receive them, because he feels incapable of going on his own; and he says: “If You want me to do this, let us do it together; and if You want me to go, let us go together.” So, he does all that his Father does. If the Father thinks, he makes the thoughts of the Father his own, and has not one thought more than those of the Father. If the Father looks, if He speaks, if He works, if He walks, if He suffers, if He loves, he too looks at what the Father looks at, repeats the words of the Father, works with the hands of the Father, walks with the feet of the Father, suffers the same pains of the Father, and loves with the love of the Father. He lives, not outside, but inside the Father, therefore he is the reflection and the perfect portrait of the Father - which is not for one, who lives, only resigned. It is impossible to find this son without the Father, or the Father without him; and not only externally, but all his interior is as though interwoven with the interior of the Father - transformed, dissolved completely, completely, in God.

Oh! The rapid and sublime flights of this child in the Divine Will. This Divine Volition is immense; in every instant It circulates in everyone, It gives life to everything and orders everything; and the soul, moving within this immensity, flies to all, helps all, loves all, but as Jesus Himself helps and loves - which one who lives only resigned cannot do.

Therefore, one who lives in the Divine Will finds it impossible to act on his own; even more, he feels nausea for his human operating, be it even holy, because in the Divine Will all things, even the smallest ones, take on a different look. They acquire nobility, splendor, divine sanctity, divine power and beauty; they multiply to infinity, and in one instant one does everything. And after he has done everything, he says: “I have done nothing - Jesus did it. And this is all my contentment: that, meager as I am, Jesus has given me the honor to keep me in the Divine Will, to let me do what He Himself has done.”

So, the enemy cannot bother this child - whether he has done well or badly, little or much - because Jesus Himself did everything, and he together with Jesus. He is the most peaceful; he is not subject to anxiety; he loves no one and loves everyone - but divinely. It can be said that he is the repeater of the Life of Jesus, the organ of His voice; the heartbeat of His Heart, the sea of His graces would like the tears of my Jesus to cry together with Him over these false sanctities. Oh, how I wish so make everyone know how true sanctity is in doing the Divine Will and in living in the Divine Volition. »

   

DIVINE GIFT: “This is a gift which I want to give to the creatures in these times, so sad - that they may not only do my Will, but possess It”. 

Vol. XVII, September 18, 1924, Luisa Piccarreta


« To live in my Will is to reign; to do my Will is to be submitted to my orders. The first state is to possess; the second is to receive my orders and execute them. To live in my Will is to make my Will one’s own, as one’s own thing, it is to dispose of It; to do my Will is to hold It as Will of God, not as one’s own thing, nor can one dispose of It as one wants.
To live in my Will is to live with one single Will-that of God. To do my Will is to live with two wills, and when I give orders to do Mine, one feels the weight of one’s own will, which causes contrasts. And even if one follows the orders of my Will with faithfulness, one feels the weight of one’s rebellious nature, of one’s passions and inclinations.
The living in my will is the living that is closest to the Blessed of Heaven; and it is so distant from one who does my Will and is faithfully submitted to my orders, just as Heaven is from the earth, just as the distance between a son and a servant, and between a king and a subject.
This is a gift which I want to give to the creatures in these times, so sad - that they may not only do my Will, but possess It. »

   

DIVINE GIFT: The necessity of the dispositions, of the knowledge of the gift, of the esteem and appreciation, and of love for the gift itself.

Vol. XVIII, December 25, 1925, Luisa Piccarreta


I was thinking to myself: « So, the living in the Will of God is to possess the Will of God, and this is a gift. Therefore, if the goodness of God does not condescend to give It, what can the poor creature do?’ »
At that moment, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, as though clasping me all to Himself, and told me: “My daughter, it is true that the living in my Will is a gift, and it is to possess the greatest gift; but this gift - which contains infinite value-is given but to one who is disposed, to one who will not waste it, to one who will esteem it so much and love it more than his own life; even more, he must be ready to sacrifice his own life so that this gift of my Will may have supremacy over everything, and be held as more than life itself - even more, his life be nothing compared to It.
Therefore, first I want to see that the soul really wants to do my Will and never her own, that she is ready to make any sacrifice in order to do Mine, and that in everything she does, she always asks Me for the gift of my Will, even just as a loan. Then, when I see that she does nothing without the loan my Will, I give it as gift, because by asking for it over and over again, she has formed the void within her soul, in which to place this celestial gift; and by becoming used to living with the loan of this divine food, she has lost the taste for her own will, her palate has been ennobled and will no longer adapt itself to the vile foods of her own self. Therefore, in seeing herself in possession of that gift which she longed for, yearned for, and loved so much, she will live of the Life of that gift; she will love It, and will give It the esteem It deserves.
Would you not condemn a man who, taken by a childish affection for a child, only to have him around a little bit, to amuse himself with him, would give him a banknote worth a thousand; and the little boy, not knowing the value of it, tears it to a thousand pieces after a few minutes? But if, on the other hand, first he makes the child desire it, then he makes him know its value, then the good which that banknote of a thousand can do for him, and then he gives it to him - that child will not tear it to pieces, but will go put it under lock and key, appreciating the gift and loving the giver more; and you would praise that man who had the ability to make known to the little child the value of money. If man does so, much more I do, who give my gifts with wisdom, with justice and with true love.
Here is, therefore, the necessity of the dispositions, of the knowledge of the gift, of the esteem and appreciation, and of love for the gift itself. Therefore, knowledge of It is like the herald of the gift of my Will which I want to give to the creature.
Knowledge prepares the way; knowledge is like the contract I want to make of the gift I want to give; and the more knowledge I send to the soul, the more she is spurred on to desire the gift and to solicit the Divine Writer to place the final signature – that the gift is hers and she possesses it. So, the sign that in these times I want to give this gift of my Will is the knowledge of It.
Therefore, be attentive not to let anything escape you of what I manifest to you about my Will, if you want Me to place the final signature on the gift which I yearn to give to creatures.”»

   

VOLUMES: The doctrine on my Will is the purest, the most beautiful, not subject to any shadow of the material or of interest, both in the supernatural and in the natural order.

Vol. XVI, November 10, 1923, Luisa Piccarreta


« But in my All-seeingness, I see that these writings will be for My Church like a new sun which will rise in Her midst; and drawn by its blazing light, creatures will apply themselves in order to be transformed into this light and become spiritualized and divinized, in such a way that, as the Church will be renewed, they will transform the face of the earth.
The doctrine on my Will is the purest, the most beautiful, not subject to any shadow of the material or of interest, both in the supernatural and in the natural order. Therefore, like sun, it will be the most penetrating, the most fecund, and the most welcomed and appreciated. And being light, of its own it will make itself understood and will make its way. It will not be subject to doubts or suspicions of error; and if some word is not understood, it will be because of too much light which, eclipsing the human intellect, will not allow them to comprehend the whole fullness of the truth. However, they will find not a word which is not truth. At the most, they will not be able to comprehend it fully.
Therefore, in view of the good which I see, I push you to neglect nothing in writing. One saying, one effect, one simile about my Will can be like beneficial dew upon souls, just as dew is beneficial on the plants after a day of burning sun, or like a pouring rain after long months of drought. You cannot understand all the good, the light, the strength contained in each word; but your Jesus knows it, and knows the ones whom it must serve and the good it must do.” »
