The greatness of Mary

With the new year and the solemnity of Mary the mother of God I wanted to spend some time looking at some of the readings in the volumes which expound on Mary and her unique role.

On the great sacrifice made by Mary to live continuously in the Divine Will

“But the one who surpasses all is my Celestial Mama.  She is the new heaven, the most refulgent sun, the brightest moon, the most flowery earth; She encloses everything – everything within Herself.  If each created thing encloses the fullness of its own good received by God, my Mama encloses all goods together, because, since She is endowed with reason and my Will lived wholly in Her, the fullness of grace, of light, of sanctity, grew in every instant.  Every act She did was suns and stars that my Will formed in Her.  So, She surpassed the whole Creation; and my Will, whole and permanent in Her, did the greatest thing and impetrated the longed for Redeemer.  This is why my Mama is Queen in the midst of Creation - because She surpassed everything, and my Will found in Her the nourishment of Her reason, which made It live as whole and permanent in Her.  There was highest accord, they held each other’s hand, there was not one fiber of Her Heart, or word or thought, over which my Will did not possess Its Life.  And what can a Divine Will not do?  It can do everything.  There is no power It lacks, or thing It cannot do.  Therefore it can be said that my Mama did everything; and everything that all others together could not do, nor will be able to do, She did by Herself.

“Therefore, do not be surprised if I point out to you the Creation and the Sovereign Queen, because I must point out to you the most perfect examples in which my Will has perennial life, and has never found an obstacle to Its field of divine action, in order to be able to operate things worthy of Itself.  My daughter, if you want my Supreme Fiat to reign as It does in Heaven – which is the greatest thing that is left for Us to do for the human generations – let my Will have the place of sovereign in you, and live as whole and permanent.  Do not be concerned about anything else, be it your incapacity, or the circumstances, or the new things which may arise around you, because as my Will reigns in you, they will serve as raw material and nourishment so that my Fiat may have Its fulfillment.”

 

Afterwards, I was thinking to myself:  ‘It is true that my Queen Mama made the greatest of sacrifices, which no one else has made - that is, not even wanting to know Her own will, but only that of God; and through this She embraced all sorrows, all pains, up to the heroism of sacrifice, sacrificing Her own Son in order to do the Supreme Will - but once She made this sacrifice, everything She suffered afterwards was the effect of Her first act.  Nor did She have to struggle as we do, in different circumstances, in unforeseen encounters, in unexpected losses… It is a constant struggle, to the point of making our hearts bleed for fear that we might surrender to our own belligerent human wills.  How much attention one must have, so that the Supreme Will may always keep Its place of honor and Its supremacy over everything; and many times this struggle is harsher than the pain itself.’

But while I was thinking of this, my lovable Jesus moved in my interior, telling me:

 

     “My daughter, you are wrong.  The maximum sacrifice of my Mama was not only one, but they were so great and so many - for as many as were the sorrows, the pains, the circumstances and the encounters to which Her existence and Mine were exposed.  Pains were always doubled in Her, because my pains were Hers - more than Her own pains.  Besides, my wisdom did not change direction with my Mama; in each pain She was to receive, I always asked Her whether She wanted to accept it, in order to hear that ‘Fiat’ being repeated to Me in each pain, in each circumstance, and even in each heartbeat of Hers.  That ‘Fiat’ resounded so sweet, gentle and harmonious to Me, that I wanted to hear It being repeated in every instant of Her life.  This is why I would always ask Her:  ‘Mama, do you want to do this?  Do you want to suffer this pain?’  And my Fiat would bring Her the seas of the goods It contains, and would make Her understand the intensity of the pain She was accepting.  This understanding, through divine light, of that which, step by step, She was to suffer, gave Her such martyrdom as to infinitely surpass the struggle which creatures suffer.  In fact, since the seed of sin was missing in Her, the seed of the struggle was missing, and so my Will had to find another device, that She might not be inferior to the other creatures in suffering, because, having to acquire by justice the right of Queen of Sorrows, She was to surpass in suffering all creatures together.

“How many times have you yourself not experienced this – that while you felt no struggle within you, as my Will would make you understand the pains It inflicted upon you, you would remain petrified by the intensity of the pain; and while you were undone in that pain, you were the tiny little lamb in my arms, ready to accept yet more pains to which my Will would want you to be submitted.  Ah, did you not suffer more than in the struggle itself?  The struggle is a sign of vehement passions, while my Will, if It brings suffering, gives intrepidness; and with the knowledge of the intensity of the pain, It gives one such merit that only a Divine Will can give.  Therefore, just as I act with you – that in everything I want from you, first I ask you whether you want it, whether you accept it – so I did with my Mama.  This, so that the sacrifice may be always new, and may give Me the opportunity to converse with the creature, to be with her, and my Volition may have Its field of divine action in the human will.”

Vol 19, April 28, 1926

The greatest works of God are often surrounded and veiled by simplicity and commonness.  This next reading also tells of why the devil has so often persecuted women in general throughout time and it goes into how although Luisa has been given a unique mission which places her beside Mary it does not make her equal to Mary.

“My daughter, my love didn’t extinguish itself because of the fall of man, but caught fire more, and although justly my justice punished him and condemned him, my love kissing my Justice, without time interfering in the midst, promised the future Redeemer and said to the deceiving serpent, with the empire of my power:  ‘You made use of a woman in order snatch away man from my Divine Will, and I through means of another woman, who will hold in her power the power of my Fiat, will demolish your pride, and with her immaculate foot she will crush your head.’  These words burned the infernal serpent more than hell itself, and enclosed so much anger in his heart, that he could not be stopped more; he did none other than to turn and to return the earth, in order to discover She who should crush his head, not in order to make her crushed, but in order to be able with his infernal arts, with his diabolic astuteness, to make fall, She who should defeat him, weaken him and tie him in the dark abysses.  Hence for four thousand years he went always turning, and when he saw women more virtuous and good he armed his battle, he tried them in all ways, and then he left them, when he assured himself through means of some weakness or defect that it was not through Her means by which he should be defeated, and he followed his turn.  Whence the Celestial Creature in fact came, who crushed his head, and the enemy felt such power in Her, that it knocked him down and he didn’t have the strength to draw near; this gnawed him with anger, and he put forth all his infernal weapons in order to combat her, but what!  He went in order to draw near, he felt himself weaken, the legs break and he was constrained to turn back, and from afar he spied her admirable virtues, her power and sanctity; and I in order to confound him and to put him in doubt made him see the Celestial Sovereign Lady, her human things, as she was taking food, crying, sleeping, and other, and he persuaded himself that it was not She, because being such a powerful and holy person she should not be subject to the natural needs of life, but then he returned to doubt and he wanted to return to the assault, but in vain.  My Will is power that weakens all the evils and all the infernal powers, he is light that makes himself known by everyone, and where He reigns he makes his power felt, that even to the demons themselves does it become (impossible) to refuse to acknowledge.  Hence the Queen of Heaven was and is the terror of all hell.  Now the infernal serpent feels over his head my rapid word told to him in Eden, my irrevocable condemnation that a woman will crush his head; hence he knows that with his head being crushed his kingdom on earth will be overthrown, he will lose his prestige, and all the evil that he did in Eden through means of one woman, will be redone by another woman, and although the Queen of Heaven weakened him, crushed his head, and I myself tied him to the cross, hence he is free no more to do that which he wants, but some unfortunately he approaches making fools of them.  More so that he sees that the human will is not subjugated by the Divine and His reign is not yet formed, he fears that another woman has to finish burning the temples, in order to make that the divine condemnation he has on his head crushed by the foot of the Immaculate Queen (has) its completion, because he knows that when I speak, my word has the communicative virtue to the other creatures.  Hence as he was made certain that She whom he feared was the Most Holy Virgin, and not being able to combat her more, he resumed his round, he is all eyes and as on the look-out in order to see if another woman might have the assignment from God to make the Divine Will known in order to make him reign, and having seen you write so much on my Fiat, only the doubt that this might be (and) he has aroused all of hell against you, behold the reason for all that which you have suffered, making use of wicked men, making them invent calumnies and things that don’t exist.  Whence in seeing you cry so much, [the demons] are persuaded that you are not that one who they fear so much who is able bring to ruin their diabolic kingdom.  This is that which regards the Queen of Heaven on the part of the infernal serpent, now I want to tell you that  which regards the part of creatures to the advantage of him.

“My daughter, the Celestial creature was poor, her natural dowries apparently were common, nothing of the extraordinary appeared in the exterior She takes for bridegroom a poor artisan who earns his daily bread with his modest work.  Suppose that it might be known, beforehand that she was Mother of the Word, that it was She, from the great ones of the world, from the doctors and Priests, that she was the Mother of the future Messiah, they would have made a tireless war, no one would have believed her, they would have said:  ‘Possible that there have not been and there are women in Israel, that it should be this poor one the Mother of the Eternal Word?  There has been a Judith, an Ester and so many others.’  Hence no one would have believed, and they would have put forth doubts and difficulties without number, if they put forth doubts on my Divine Person, to not believe me that I was the longed for Messiah, and many arrive to still not believe me that I descended upon the earth in spite that I did many miracles as to induce the most incredulous to believe me, ah! when (there) enters in hearts the hardness, the obstinacy, it renders them incapable to receive any good; the truths, the miracles themselves are for them as dead and without life.  Hence much more so the Celestial Mama, that nothing of miraculous was seen in her exterior.

“Now, my daughter, listen to me, the serious doubts, the gravest difficulties that they have found in your writings are really these, that I have said to you: that I called you to live in the Kingdom of my Divine Will, giving you the special and unique mission to make him known, so that as I myself said in the Pater Noster and the Holy Church still says it:  ‘Your kingdom come, that is that your Will be done as in Heaven so in earth’, it doesn’t say in the Pater that this kingdom is upon the earth, but it says come, and I would not have composed a prayer if it should not have the effects of it.  Hence in order to arrive to this, shouldn’t I elect another woman, that the infernal serpent fears so much, and that through means of the first woman ruined for me the human generation, and I in order to confound him I make use of the woman in order to re-do for me his ruin and to make good arise to everyone that he sought to destroy?  Behold therefore the necessity of the preparations, of the graces, of my visits and communications.

“This has sounded badly to one who has read, hence doubts and difficulties, that it can not be possible that [of] so many other great Saints not one has lived in the Kingdom of my Will, so that it is she alone that he prefers to everyone; and when they have read that I put you next to the Sovereign Queen, because she having lived in the Kingdom of my Divine Fiat you could imitate her, wanting to make of you a copy that resembles her, and I put you in her hands so that she might guide you, assist you, protect you, so that you might be able to imitate her in everything, it seemed to them so much absurdity, and sinisterly misunderstanding the sense they have said as if you might have said (that) you might be another Queen; how many blunders!  I have not said that you are like the Celestial Queen, but that I want you similar to Her, as I have said to so many other souls dear to me that I wanted them similar to me, but with this they didn’t become God like me, and then being the Celestial Lady the true Queen of the Kingdom of my Will, it is her completion to help and to teach the fortunate creatures who want to enter to live in Him.  [With] this they make seen as if I might not have the power to elect whom I want and when I want; but of the rest time will say everything, and as they can not refuse to acknowledge that the Virgin of Nazareth is my Mama, thus they can not refuse to acknowledge that I have elected you for the unique purpose to make my Will known and that through your means I will use it so that the ‘Your kingdom come’ has its completion.  It is certain that creatures are instruments in my hands and I don’t look at who it is, but I look at if my Divine Will has decided to work through means of this instrument, and this is enough for me in order to complete my highest designs, and of the doubts and difficulties of creatures I make use of it in his time in order to confound them and to humiliate them, but I don’t stop and I go ahead in the work that I want to do through means of the creature.  Therefore you also follow me and do not step backwards.  Of the rest one sees from the way of their thinking that they have calculated only your person, but they have not calculated that which my Divine Will can do and that which he knows how to do, and when he decides to work in a creature in order to complete his greatest designs in the midst of the human generations, laws are not dictated by anyone, nor who one should be, nor the time, nor the way, nor the place, but in an absolute way he acts; nor does he take account of certain small minds that don’t know how to elevate themselves into the divine and supernatural order nor bow before the incomprehensible works of their Creator, and while they want to reason with their human reason, they lose the divine reason, and they remain confused and incredulous.”

Happy New Year.

Fields of light

After having gone through many dry periods and times when I literally feel churned up and used up  I thought this was a great reminder that this is all the work of God.  And in the Divine Will what a pay out it is too!  In the other epochs the harvest brings the fruit of grace and virtues but in the Divine Will a harvest means eternal Divine Suns.

     “Good daughter, the great good of living of a Divine Volition is surprising and almost incomprehensible to the human creature.  You should know that all that which one does of good, of sanctity in my Divine Will, they are none other than seeds that germinate in the field of the soul, putting forth as so many seeds of Divine light, that put forth a beginning that won’t have an end, because all that which one does in my Divine Will is sowed, germinates, grows in an admirable way, upon the earth while she lives, but the completion will be formed in Heaven, the ultimate development, the variety of beauties, the tones, the most beautiful and specious tints, will be given in the Celestial Country.

'I felt all annihilated within myself. His privations cast me into the most profound humiliation. Without Jesus, I feel the interior of my soul devastated; it seems to me that all the good declines and dies. My Jesus! My Jesus! How hard is your privation! Oh! how my heart bleeds in seeing everything dying in me, because the One who is life, and who alone can give life, is not with me.  Then, while I was in this state, my most sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and placing His hand upon my heart and pressing it strongly, He told me:

     “My daughter, why do you afflict yourself so much? Abandon yourself in Me and let Me do; and when it seems to you that everything declines and dies, your Jesus will make everything rise again, but more beautiful and more fecund. You must know that the soul is my field in which I work, sow and harvest; but my favorite field is the soul who lives in my Will. In this field my work is delightful; I do not get muddy when I sow, because my Will has converted it into a field of light. Its ground is virgin, pure and celestial, and I amuse Myself very much in sowing little lights into it, almost like dew which forms the Sun of my Will.    

     "Oh! how beautiful it is to see this field of the soul all covered with many drops of light, and as they gradually grow, many suns will form. This sight is enchanting; all Heaven is enraptured at the sight of it, and they are all attentive on looking at the Celestial Farmer who cultivates this field with such great mastery, and who possesses a seed so noble as to convert it into sun. Now, my daughter, this field is mine and I do with it whatever I want. Once these suns have formed, I collect them and take them to Heaven, as the most beautiful conquest of my Will, and then I return to the work of my field. So, I put everything upside down, and the little daughter of my Will feels everything ending, everything dying within her. In the place of the suns, so refulgent with light, she sees the drops of light which I am sowing, and she thinks that everything is perishing. How you deceive yourself - this is the new harvest that must be prepared; and since I want to make it more beautiful than the previous one, and make it larger so as to be able to double my harvest, at first sight the work seems to be more difficult, and the soul suffers more. But those pains are like strokes of the hoe into the ground, which make the seed sink deeper down so as to make it germinate more safely, with greater fecundity and beauty. Don’t you see, when a field is harvested, how squalid and poor it remains? But wait until it is sown again, and you will see it more flowery than before. Therefore, let me do; and you, by living in my Will, will always be at work with Me; we will sow the little drops of light together, and we will compete to see who sows more. So, we will amuse ourselves, now in sowing, now in resting – but always together. I know, I know what your strongest concern is – that I might leave you. No, no, I do not leave you; one who lives in my Will is inseparable from Me.” And I: ‘My Jesus, in the past You used to tell me that when You would not come it was because You wanted to chastise the people, and now it is not because of this that You don’t come, but because of something else.’ And Jesus, as though sighing: “They will come – the chastisements will come. Ah! if you knew!” Having said this, He disappeared.'

Vol. 16,  Oct. 20, 1923


So even though we go through these dry periods we should keep hope alive that he will return to the field of the soul living in the Divine Will.

“Blessed daughter, it is I who forms the celestial atmosphere inside and outside of the creature, because no sooner than she enters into my Divine Volition than I put myself to watch of the act that she goes doing, and she forms the ground with her acts, and I form the divine seed in order to cast in the act of the creature.  So that her acts serve as earth, and I, Celestial Farmer, by filling her with my seeds I make use of it to gather the harvest of the works that are done in my Will.  Do you see therefore what the continuations of the acts done in the Divine Will serve to?  They serve to give me the labor and the occasions to never leave the creature, because she always gives Me to do.  And I don’t want nor can I leave empty a ground so precious, formed in my Will and exposed to the vivifying rays of the Divine Sun.  Hence He calls you to the work in my Volition and you call me, and oh, how very sweet it is to work together in my Fiat!  It is a labor that doesn’t tire; rather it is bearer of rest and of the most beautiful conquests.”

Vol. 30, July 14, 1932

We are an essential part of God great plan.  He says himself that the creature holds the required earth for God to sow, germinate and grow his Divine seeds.  Where "she reproduces her Creator".  We have a great calling and a great purpose which can only be fulfilled by living in the Divine Will.

"More so that every act done by the Divine Will in the act of the creature is a divine seed that germinates in it.  The act prepares the earth where my Will casts his seed in order to make it germinate into (a) divine plant, because according to the seed that is cast in the bosom of the earth, that plant is born.  If the seed is of flowers, the flower is born; if the seed is of fruit, the fruit is born.  Now my Divine Will in every act of the creature casts a distinct seed:  there he casts the seed of sanctity, there the seed of love, in others the seed of goodness, and so on.  How many more acts [the creature] does in Him, so much more earth is prepared where my Volition prepares his distinct seed in order to fill the earth of these human acts.  Whence one who lets herself be dominated by my Divine Will, is beautiful, is specious; every act of hers, containing the variety of divine seeds, is a note of her Creator:  one act says sanctity, another mercy, others justice, wisdom, beauty, love; in short one sees a divine harmony, with such order, that shows the finger of God working in her.  Do you see therefore the necessity of the act of the creature, in order to be able to try the earth where to enclose our divine seed?  Otherwise where do we cast it?  We don’t hold any earth.  Therefore there is [earth] formed with her acts, in order to be able to germinate with our seeds our Divine Being in the creature.  Therefore one who does and lives in our Divine Volition can be called She who reproduces her Creator and lodges in herself He who has created her.”

Narration of the birth of Jesus as given to Luisa by Mary.

 

"You must know that it was midnight when the little newborn King came out of my maternal womb.  But the night turned into day; He who was the Lord of light put to flight the night of the human will, the night of sin, the night of all evils; and as the sign of what He was doing in the order of souls, with His usual Omnipotent Fiat the midnight turned into most refulgent daylight.  All created things ran to sing praise to their Creator in that little Humanity.  The sun ran to give its first kisses of light to little Baby Jesus, and to warm Him with its heat; the ruling wind, with its waves, purified the air of the stable, and with its sweet moaning said to Him:  “I love You”; the heavens were shaken from their very foundations; the earth exulted and trembled down to the abyss; the sea roared with its gigantic waves.  In sum, all created things recognized that their Creator was now in their midst, and they all competed in singing His praises.  The very Angels, forming light in the air, with melodious voices which could be heard by all, said:  “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will.  The Celestial Baby is now born in the grotto of Bethlehem, wrapped in poor swaddling clothes…” - so much so, that the shepherds who were in vigil, listened to the angelic voices and ran to visit the little Divine King.

My dear child, continue to listen to Me.  As I received Him into my arms and gave Him my first kiss, I felt the need of love to give something of my own to my Baby Son; and offering Him my breast, I gave Him abundant milk – milk formed in my person by the Divine Fiat Itself, in order to nourish little King Jesus.  But who can tell you what I experienced in doing this; and the seas of grace, of love, of sanctity, that my Son gave to Me in return?  Then I wrapped Him in poor but clean little clothes, and I placed Him in the manger.  This was His Will, and I could not do without executing It.  But before doing this, I shared Him with dear Saint Joseph, placing Him in his arms; and – oh! how he rejoiced.  He pressed Him to his heart, and the sweet little Baby poured torrents of grace into his soul.  Then, together with Saint Joseph, we arranged a little hay in the manger, and detaching Him from my maternal arms, I laid Him in it.  And your Mama, enraptured by the beauty of the Divine Infant, remained kneeling before Him most of the time.  I put all my seas of love into motion, which the Divine Will had formed in Me, to love Him, adore Him, and thank Him. 

And what did the Celestial little Child do in the manger?  A continuous act of the Will of our Celestial Father, which was also His; and emitting moans and sighs, He wailed, cried and called to everyone, saying in His loving moans:  “Come all of you, children of mine; for love of you I am born to sorrow and to tears.  Come all of you, to know the excess of my love.  Give Me shelter in your hearts.”  And there was a coming and going of shepherds, who came to visit Him, and to all He gave His sweet gaze and His smile of love, amid His very tears.

Now, my child, a little word to you:  you must know that all my joy was to hold my dear Son Jesus on my lap, but the Divine Will made Me understand that I should place Him in the manger, at everyone’s disposal, so that whoever wanted to, could caress Him, kiss Him, and take Him in his arms, as if He were his own.  He was the little King of all, therefore they had the right to make of Him a sweet pledge of love.  And I, in order to fulfill the Supreme Volition, deprived Myself of my innocent joys, beginning, with works and sacrifices, the office of Mother, of giving Jesus to all.  My child, the Divine Will is demanding and wants everything, even the sacrifice of the holiest things; and according to the circumstances, the great sacrifice of depriving oneself of Jesus Himself; but this, in order to extend Its Kingdom even more, and to multiply the life of Jesus Himself.  In fact, when the creature, out of love for Him, deprives herself of Him, her heroism and sacrifice is so great, as to have the virtue of producing a new life of Jesus, to be able to form another dwelling for Jesus.  Therefore, dear child, be attentive and, under any pretext, never deny anything to the Divine Will."

The Redemption preparation for the Kingdom

Through the mysteries manifested in the Redemption of Jesus taking on our humanity and divinely submitting himself to taking on all the evils of man in order to procure the divine remedies for mankind He opened the channels of grace to heal us of our sins so that we might reach the step of not only resigning ourselves to his Will but of embracing it, and loving it to the point of wanting to be united with him.

"Hence my Redemption, my life, my sufferings, my death, it will serve to dispose creatures to such a good, and as preparation to the great portent of the kingdom of my Will in the human generations, and if they don’t yet see the fruits, the life of Him, this says nothing, because in my Humanity there is the seed, the life of my Fiat, hence this seed possesses the virtue to form the long generation of so many other seeds in hearts, in order to regenerate in them, the revival of the life of my Will in creatures. "

Vol. 33, May 6, 1934

Creation and Redemption are manifestations from his Will.  Although to us his Redemption is manifest first it is His Will which is given priority in all his works and is the ultimate purpose to all his designs.

"Listen to me my daughter, in the Creation our primary purpose was man, but instead of creating man first, we created Heavens, sun, sea, earth, air, winds as habitation where to put this man, and making him find all that which was necessary in order to let him live, in the creation of man himself first we made the body and then infused in him the soul, more precious, more noble and that contains more value than the body; many times it is necessary to do the minor works first, in order to prepare with decency the post to our greater works.  What wonder, therefore, that in descending from Heaven in earth, in our divine mind, our primary aim was to constitute the kingdom of our Will in the midst of the human family?  Much more so that the first offense that man did to us, was really direct to our Will, hence with justice, our first aim, should be directed to consolidate the offended part of our Will and to restitute to him his regal post, and then the Redemption came, and the Redemption came in a superabundant way with such excesses of love as to make Heaven and earth astounded.  But why first?  Because it had to serve to prepare with decency, with decorum, with sumptuousness, with the outfit of my sufferings and my death itself, as kingdom, as army, as habitation and as cortege to make my Will reign.  In order to heal man there was needed my sufferings, in order to give him life there was needed my death, and yet one tear of mine, one sigh of mine, one single drop of my blood would have been enough in order to save everyone, because all that which I did was animated by my Supreme Will.  I can say that it was Him in my Humanity that raced in all my acts, in my most excruciating sufferings, in order to search (out) man and to put him in safety; how therefore can one deny the first purpose to a Volition so holy, so powerful, that embraces everything and in which there is no life, nor good without Him?"

Vol. 33, May 6, 1934

By not living in his Will God is constrained to give us only the effects of his Will which are limited by time, circumstances and our disposition.  He states below clearly that all the law, the sacraments, the Gospel and prayers are only effects that can not equal that which the Divine Will can do when the creature allows him in as perennial life of her, because these come from his Will while his Will is entire and complete by itself.

“Therefore there is no greater evil that the creature can do, nor greater wrong that she can do to our Paternal goodness, than to not let our Will reign in her.  The same in her power would induce us to destroy all the Creation, because the creature was made that she should be our residence, and not her alone, but all created things, skies, sun, earth, everything, being works gone forth from our Supreme Heights, we hold the right to live (in) her, and with living (in) her we conserve her with beautiful decorum and always new, as in the act in which we brought her forth to the light.  Now the creature with not doing our Will puts us outside of our residence, and it happens to us as would happen to a rich Lord, that wanting to build a great and beautiful palace, when he has finished; he goes in order to live in it and they close the doors in (his) face, they throw stones at him, in a way that he is constrained to not put a foot inside, and to not be able to live in the same residence built by him, wouldn’t it merit that it be destroyed by he who has formed it?  But he doesn’t do it because he loves his work, but waits and re-awaits, who knows [that] he can conquer in love, and by herself she opens the doors to him in order to let him enter with giving him the liberty to let him live (there).  In such conditions the creature puts us with not letting our Will reign in her soul:  she closes the doors in our face and throws the stones of her faults against us.  And we with unconquered and divine patience wait, and she not wanting our Will in herself as life, with Paternal goodness we give her the effects of Him, that is the laws, the Sacraments, the Gospel, the helps of my examples and prayers to her, but for all this great good, not one can equal the great good that my Will can do as perennial life of the creature, because He is all (the) laws, Sacraments, Gospel, life together, he signifies all:  able to give everything, possesses everything, this is enough in order to be able to understand the great difference that there is between my Will as continuous life in the creature, and between his effects that he can not produce in a perennial way, but by circumstances, in time, in the Sacraments themselves.  And although the effects can do great goods, but they can never arrive to produce all the goods that the life of my Divine Will reigning and dominant in the creature can produce.  Therefore be attentive my daughter, and give him the holy liberty to do that which he wants in your soul.”

And all we have to do is say, "Yes."

mountains and valleys

In today's Sunday readings in the mass I seemed to be drawn to those passages on preparing the way of the Lord.  It seemed to me to be focusing on preparation of the soul to receive the crowning glory of the sanctifying act of God of living in the Divine Will.

Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height and look toward the east, and see your children gathered from west and east, at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that God has remembered them.  ⁶ For they went forth from you on foot, led away by their enemies; but God will bring them back to you, carried in glory, as on a royal throne.  ⁷ For God has ordered that every high mountain and the everlasting hills be made low and the valleys filled up, to make level ground, so that Israel may walk safely in the glory of God.  ⁸ The woods and every fragrant tree have shaded Israel at God’s command.  ⁹ For God will lead Israel with joy, in the light of his glory, with the mercy and righteousness that come from him.

Baruch 5:5-9

⁴As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Lk 3:4-5

Leveling the earth preparing for the building of the new creation, the new Jerusalem.

¹¹ I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. ¹² He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Revelation 3:11-13

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;
Revelation 21:1-3

So much preparation to prepare man for the return to the purpose of his creation, that of living in the Divine Will.  The Redemption and the Sacraments, remedies, medicines to heal and to dispose the creature to the point of resignation to his Will.  The first stepping stone to the doorway of living in his Will.

"But even though the first purpose was to balance all the accounts of my Divine Will, as Celestial Doctor I complied with giving medicines, remedies, I spoke about forgiveness, about detachment, I instituted Sacraments, I suffered atrocious pains, even unto death. It can be said that this was the new creation I prepared so that creatures might receive my Divine Will as King in the midst of His people, in order to let It reign. So I have done with you; first I prepared you, I spoke to you about crosses, about virtues, about love, to dispose you to listen to the lessons of my Fiat, so that, by knowing It, you would love It, and feeling within yourself the great good of Its Life, you would want to give Its Life to all, making It known, loved, and letting It reign.”
Vol. 27, Nov 20, 1929

 

"When I came upon earth, man was so engulfed in evil and so full of human will, that the living in my Will could find no place. So, in my Redemption, first I impetrated for him the grace of resignation to my Will, because in the state he was in, he was incapable of receiving the greatest gift – the living in my Will. And then I impetrated for him the greatest grace, as crown and fulfillment of all graces – the living in my Will,..."

Each point in our history has been a stepping stone a preparation to the repossession of his Kingdom, of securing it so that it will never be breached again, both our home and His.
 

"...establishing my Kingdom in the soul also on earth - I acted like a king who has to take possession of a kingdom.  He does not go there first; rather, first he has his royal palace prepared; then he sends his soldiers to prepare the kingdom and to dispose the peoples to his subjection; then follow the guards of honor and the ministers – and the last one is the king.  This is decorous for a king.  So I did:  I had my Royal Palace prepared, which is the Church; the soldiers have been the Saints, in order to make Me known to the peoples; then came the Saints who sowed miracles, as my most intimate ministers; and now I Myself come to reign as the King."

Little kings

²⁶Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26

 

In the previous blog it spoke of how a creature living in the Divine Will is a daughter of God and all the works of God.  Here it speaks of the love of God for the creature and how he was made to not only be a child of all but a king of all as well.

 

     '“My daughter, my love makes Me feel the need to speak of the Creation of man, already all the Creation is pregnant with our love and speaks, although in mute language, and if it doesn’t speak, it says with deeds and it is the greatest narrator of our love toward man, and when our love was extended in everything, in a way that she should find no point (in) which our love might not cover her, and might race toward her and more than Sun might dart her.  When in everything the Creation was completed, we created man, but before creating him listen to the story of our love toward Him.  Our adorable Majesty had established to construct man king of all the Creation, to give him the dominion over everything and to make him master over all our works, but in order to say true king with deeds, not with words, he had to possess in him(self) all that which we had scattered in the Creation.  So that in order to be king of the sky, of the sun, of the wind, of the sea and of everything, he had to possess inside of himself a Sky, a sun, and so on, in a way that the Creation should reflect in him, and he should possess the same qualities, to reflect in the Creation and to master it.  In fact, if he might not have an eye full of sight, how could he enjoy the light of the Sun and take of it when he might want some?  If he might not have feet and hands in order to cross the earth and take that which the earth produces, how could he call himself king of the earth?  If he might not have the respiratory organ in order to breathe the air, how could he make use of it?  And thus with all the rest.  Hence before creating man we looked at the whole Creation in our emphasis of love and we exclaimed:  how very beautiful are our works, but among all the most beautiful we will make man, we will centralize everything in him, in a way that we will find the Creation outside and inside of him.  And as we went molding him, thus we enclosed in him the Sky of reason, the sun of intelligence, the rapidity of the wind in the thought, the extension of the space, the fortitude, the empire in the will, the motion in the soul in which we contained the sea of graces, the celestial air of our love and all the senses of the body, as the most beautiful flowering.  Oh!  Man how very beautiful you are, but not content with this we put in him the great Sun of our Will, and giving him the great gift of the word, so that he might with deeds and with words be the eloquent narrator of his Creator, it was our image with which We delighted ourselves to enrich him with our most beautiful qualities.

     “But not content with of all this, we were taken with love so exuberant toward him, that our immensity involved him anywhere, everywhere, and in every instant, our omniclairvoyance looked at him in every thing and even in the fibers of his heart our Power sustained him, bringing him everywhere in our Paternal arms; our life, our motion, palpated in his heartbeat, breathed in his breath, worked in his hands, walked in his feet, and arrived to make himself footstool even under his steps; our Fatherly goodness in order to hold this dear son of ours secure, put forth (the) conditions that he could not be separated from Us, nor We from him.  What else couldn’t we do and didn’t we do?  Behold therefore we love him so much, because he cost us much, we disbursed for him our love, our power, our Will and we put in attitude our infinite Wisdom, and we didn’t want other than he might love Us, and that freely he might live in all in our Will and might recognize how much we have loved him and done for him.  These our loving pretensions, who (so) cruel will want to deny them?  But alas!  There is unfortunately some who denies them and forms there his sorrowful notes in our love.  Therefore be attentive and your flight in our Will be continuous.”'

Vol. 33, August 5, 1934.

The ability to do always new works endows man as king and Jesus then is the King of kings.
 

"Instead in creating man, having to hold our seat in him and hence our dominant and working Will, he didn’t put forth an enough; no, but he gave (man) the virtue to do a multiplicity of works, of steps, of words, one different from the other.  Our Will in man would remain impeded if it might not give him the virtue to always do new works, [making him] not subject to do one work alone, to say the same word, to move his steps over a single way.  He was created by us as king of the creation, because his Creator having to live in him, the King of the kings, it was just that he who formed the residence to our Divine Being should be the little king who should dominate the same things created by us; and he himself for our love should hold the power to do not one work alone but many works, new sciences, in order to be able to begin new things, also in order to do honor to He who lives inside him, and who holding himself back with him in familiar conversation, taught him so many beautiful things to do and to say.  Therefore our love in creating man was insuperable, but so much so that it should overwhelm all the centuries in order to give love and to ask love and to form in him the Kingdom of our Divine Will.  We don’t have other goal over creatures nor other sacrifice, if not that they do our Will and this in order to give him the right of king over himself and created things, and in order to be able to live in him, with the decorum and honor of ours, that belongs to our citadel and palace.”

Bonds of Justice

In the previous blog on true Justice it talked about the rights due to God the Father with his children.  In this writing it speaks about the bonds of justice that the child of the Divine Will receives.

“My daughter, Our daughter, the daughter of the Celestial Mama, the daughter of the Angels and of the Saints, the daughter of the heavens, the daughter of the sun, the daughter of the stars, the daughter of the sea; in sum, you are the daughter of all - all are fathers to you, and you are a daughter to all.  See how vast is the paternity!  How long is your daughtership!  Instead of oppressing yourself you should delight, thinking that all are fathers to you and you are a daughter to all.  Only one who lives in my Will can have the right to such vast paternity and to such a long daughtership – to be loved by all with paternal love, because all recognize in her their daughter.  In fact, since created things are all invested with my Will, wherever It reigns as triumphant and dominating, they see in you the same Will that reigns in them, therefore all hold you as the daughter of their wombs.  There are so many bonds between you and them as to surpass in an infinite way the natural bonds that exist between father and son.  Do you know who is not your father?  Only those who do not let my Will reign in them; these have no right over you, nor do you have any duty toward them – they are like something that does not belong to you.

          “But do you know what it means to possess such a vast paternity and such a long daughtership?  It means to be bound with bonds of justice to all the riches, the glory, the honor, the privileges that such vast paternity possesses.  So, as my daughter, your Jesus gives you all the goods of Redemption as gifts; as Our daughter, you are endowed with all the goods of the Sacrosanct Trinity; as daughter of the Sovereign Queen, She gives to you Her sorrows, Her works, Her love and all of Her maternal merits as gifts; as daughter of the Angels and of the Saints, they compete among themselves to give you all of their goods; as daughter of the heavens, of the stars, of the sun, of the sea and of all created things, they feel honored to finally have their daughter, to be able to give their inheritance; and my very Will reigning in them, with Its endless light forms for you the deed of all Creation, and all feel the happiness, the joy of being able to give their inheritance, because by being able to give, they no longer feel sterile, but fecund, and fecundity brings joy, company, harmony, glory, the repetition of one’s very life.  How many fathers and mothers are unhappy, even though they are rich, because they have no offspring!  In fact, sterility in itself brings isolation, bitterness, lack of any support and of happiness; and if it may appear that they enjoy, in their hearts they have the thorn of sterility that embitters all their enjoyments.  So, your vast paternity which you possess, and your long daughtership is a cause of joy for all - and much more for my Will which, bilocating, reigns in you and constitutes you the daughter of all the things created by It, in such a way that all feel your support and the contentment of being able to give the goods they possess.  Therefore, your oppression is not justified in the midst of so many goods, of so much happiness, and of so many who protect you, defend you and love you as their true daughter.”

 

After this, I abandoned myself in the arms of Jesus and in the current of the Divine Will to do my usual acts; and Jesus, coming back, told me:

 

“My daughter, my Will preserves the soul in her origin and does not allow her to go out of her beginning, which is God.  It maintains intact the divine image in the depth of her being, which is enclosed in her intellect, memory and will; and as long as the soul lets my Will reign in her, everything is linked, everything is in relationship between Creator and creature.  Even more, she lives in the reflections of the Supreme Majesty, and Our likeness in her grows continuously, and this makes her be distinguished as Our daughter.  On the other hand, the human will causes her to deny her origin, it makes her decay from her beginning; her intellect, memory and will remain without light, and the divine image remains deformed and unrecognizable.  The human will breaks all the divine bonds and relationships, and therefore it makes the soul live in the reflections of all passions, in such a way that she becomes ugly and the daughter of the infernal enemy, who tries to engrave his ugly image in her.  How many evils does one’s own will not cause!  It devastates every good and produces all evils.”
