Divine Jealousy of Man









Ever felt like you just don't fit in and maybe you don't even want to? Like somehow there's something that is keeping you apart? There could be some Divine Jealousy going on.


People often think of jealousy as a sin which causes problems in relationships, but there is another type of jealousy mentioned in the Bible where God refers to Himself as a Jealous God.




you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, 6 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20: 3-6




23 So be careful not to forget the covenant that the Lord your God made with you, and not to make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For the Lord your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4: 23-24





A jealous and avenging God is the Lord,
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and rages against his enemies.

The Lord is slow to anger but great in power,
and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.


His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Nahum 1: 1-3




Also in the New Testament we are reminded that God is jealous of His relationship with us and that we must choose between the world and God.




Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, “God yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
James 4: 4-10






God's jealously of man is right and just.  Creation was made for man but man was made for God.  All of Adam, even Adam's first acts were made by God even to giving Adam God's own Will, which he possessed until the fall.  God gave Adam His Will so that he could continue to receive from God and grow ever more and more beautiful.   With the gift of the Divine Will God could always interact with man and keep him company.  More so in Adam God established the first acts of all creatures so that they would all be kept in the safety of God's Will.  God is jealous of man because man was made to be entirely for God, with God and in God.  God says that He created His ideal in man and in love of him poured forth His entire being over him to bring His creature to life.  So His jealously over every act done by His beloved is infinite and His sorrow over man's fall and betrayal is incomprehensible.



So, everything you see in Creation was absolutely nothing compared to the creation of man. Oh! how many more beautiful heavens, stars, suns, He extended in the created soul; how much variety of beauty, how many harmonies. It is enough to say that He looked at man created, and He found him so beautiful as to become enamored with him. And jealous of this portent of His, He Himself made Himself the custodian and possessor of man, and said: ‘I have created everything for you; I give you dominion over everything – everything is yours; and you will be all mine.”
Vol. 12, February 24, 1919



“My daughter, if you knew with how much love the creation of man was formed! At merely remembering it, Our Love swells and forms new inundations, taking the attitude of feast in remembering Our work, beautiful, perfect, as It placed in it such mastery of art that no one else can form one similar to it; and it was so beautiful as to reach the point of arousing in Our Love the jealousy that it be all for Us. After all, man had been made for Us, he was Our own - to be jealous of him was a right of Our Love; and this is so true, that Our Love reached such extent, that all the first acts done in Adam were done by his Creator. So, the first act of love was created and done by Us in Adam; the first heartbeat, the first thought, the first word – in sum, for everything that he might do afterwards, there were Our first acts done in him, and upon Our first acts followed the acts of Adam. Therefore, if he loved, his love would spring from within Our first act of love; if he thought, his thought would spring from within Our thought; and so with all the rest.
Had We not done the first acts in him, he would not have been able either to do anything, or to know how to do anything. But by the Supreme Being’s doing the first acts, We placed in Adam as many little fountains for as many first acts as We did in him, in such a way that every time he wanted to repeat Our first acts, he would have these little fountains at his disposal like as many different springs of love, of thoughts, of words, of works and of steps. So, everything was Ours, inside and outside of man, therefore Our jealousy was not only a right, but also justice, that everything was to be for Us and completely Our own. More so, since We were giving him Our Divine Will, that It might preserve him beautiful, fresh, and would make him grow for Us of a divine beauty. Our Love was not content or satisfied with so much It had given him - It wanted to continue to give always; It did not want to say enough, It wanted to continue Its work of love. And in order to have him with Itself, to have the way of interacting with man, It gave him Our very Will, that It might render him capable of being able to always receive, and keep him always with Us with one single Will. With It, everything was guaranteed and safe for him and for Us. So, he was to be Our amusement, Our joy and happiness, the object of Our conversation. Therefore, at the memory of the creation of man, Our Love takes the attitude of feast; but in seeing him without the guarantee of Our Fiat, without safety and therefore vacillating, disfigured and as though far away from Us, It takes the attitude of sorrow and feels all the weight of Our infinite Love as though closed within Itself, because It cannot give Itself to him for It does not find him in Our Divine Will.
But all this is not all. It was not only for Adam that Our Love so poured Itself, but It reached the point of doing all the first acts from which all the human acts were to have life, and each creature that was to come to daylight was present in that act of the creation of man. And Our Fiat, united to Our Love, ran and ran; and embracing all and loving all with one single love, It placed the primacy of Our acts in each creature that would come to existence, because for Us there is no past and no future, but everything is present and in act. If it were not so, Our Fiat would find Itself constrained and hampered, nor could It expand Its flames so much as to enclose all within Its light, in such a way as to do in all what It does in one creature alone. Therefore, Adam was not the only fortunate one of Creation, but all other creatures were enriched with all goods and, in him, were the possessors of his same goods. More so, since in everything that God does in one single creature, all other creatures acquire the right of Our acts, except for those who do not want to make use of them.

If you could form a statue the way you liked the best, and then you poured all of yourself into it, giving it all the vital humors, and with the empire of your love you gave life to it – how much would you not love it? And how much would you not want it to love you? What would your jealousy of love be, so that the whole of it would remain at your disposal, and such that you would not tolerate even one heartbeat which would not be done for you? Ah! in your statue you would look at yourself, and therefore, at every little thing not done for you, you would feel a tearing made to your very self.
So I am. Everything that the creature does not do for Me are tearings that I feel; more so, since the earth that sustains her is mine; the sun that illuminates her and warms her is mine; the water that she drinks, the food that she takes are mine. Everything is mine – she lives at my expense; and while I give her everything, she - the beautiful statue - is not for Me. What must my sorrow be then, and the affront and the offense that this statue gives Me?
Vol. 20, October 29, 1926





As God is three in one so God's love for each of us is triplicate.  Firstly He loves each of us as Creator, Redeemer, and Lover.  Secondly God loves man within all of Creation, as all of Creation was created for man, He loves the Divine Image within each person and He loves each person for themselves as well; Thirdly He loves each of us outside of time, in time and for eternity.  And this tripled love comes forth in its entirety in every breath of God for each person.  Each of us, in turn, are expected to return this triple love to God so that everything is fixed in God and only love for God should come forth from us loving Him for all and in all also in our every breath and act. God wants nothing less.





I said to Him: ‘My sweet Good, tell me, do You continue to love me?’ And He: “Yes, but I am loving and jealous, jealous and loving. Even more, I tell you that in order to be perfect, love must be triple, and in Me there are these triple conditions of love: first, I love you as Creator, as Redeemer and as Lover. Second, I love you in my omnipotence which I used in creating you, and in creating everything for love of you, in such a way that air, water, fire, and everything else, tell you that I love you and that I made them for love of you; I love you as my image, and I love you out of regard for you individually. Third, I love you ab aeterno ['from an infinitely remote point in the past'], I love you in time, and I love you for all eternity. And this is nothing but a breath that came out of my love; imagine, yourself, what must be the love I contain within Myself. Now, you are obliged to return to Me this triple love, loving Me as your God in whom you must fix all of yourself, and let nothing come out of you which is not love for Me; loving me out of regard for yourself and for the good that comes to you; and loving Me for all, and in all.”
Vol. 4, January 11, 1902





God's jealousy for man is such that in order to keep them from falling into love of self and of others He surrounds them, body and soul with bitterness and privations. This is a sign of His greatest favors towards those He holds dearest and His strongest love keeps this soul from loving others and others from loving this soul.  He keeps such a one so small that not one acts of hers will can come forth.  In this way He becomes Her life and her all keeping her inside of Himself.





“My daughter, my jealousy and the caution I have for my creatures is such and so great, that in order not to let them be ruined, I am forced to surround them with thorns – both soul and body, so that the thorns may keep away from them the mud that could dirty them. This is why, my daughter, I surround with thorns – that is, with bitternesses, with privations, with different interior states – also my greatest favors with which I favor the souls who are dear to Me, so that these thorns may not only keep them, but prevent their getting dirty with the mud of love of self, and the like.”
Vol. 9, October 7, 1909




I was saying to my beloved Jesus: ‘Jesus, love me. I have more right than others to be loved, because neither do I love anyone but You, nor does anyone love me. And if someone seems to love me, it is for the good that comes to them - not for me. Therefore, between my love and yours, no other love enters in the middle.’ And sweet Jesus told me:

“My daughter, this is nothing other than my strongest love; and it is such that the jealousy of my love for you takes all things away from you. And my jealousy is such that I remain on guard, so that not even a shadow of love of creature may breathe on you. At the most, I tolerate that some may love you in Me, but not outside of Me; otherwise I would make them flee. And this also means that neither have you entered into any heart, nor has anyone entered into yours.”
Vol. 12, May 28, 1918



Therefore, even though all belong to Us – but in how many different ways; and only one who lives in Our Divine Will lives in Our midst. Our Divine Fiat brings her to Us on Its lap of light, into Our inmost divine womb; nor can We put her outside of Ourselves; in order to do that, We would have to put Our Divine Volition outside of Ourselves, which We cannot do, nor do We want to. On the contrary, We are happy to have her, to cuddle her as Our dear memory, when Our love, overflowing, issued the Creation, wanting the creature to live in Our inheritance of the Divine Will and to amuse herself with her Creator with her innocent smiles. And if you see yourself small, it is the exuberant love of my Fiat, which is all attention and jealousy over you, that concedes you not one act of your human will; therefore the human has no growth, and you feel yourself always small. And this is because my Will wants to form Its Life in your smallness, and when Its Divine Life grows, the human life has no reason to grow; therefore you must content yourself with remaining always small.”
Vol. 27, January 10, 1930





When a soul is all for God, God will be all for that soul and, jealous, He will not allow that creature to receive any consolation from anyone other than Himself so that she would only look to Him, only depend on Him.  He keeps such a soul in His inmost heart and just as God is untouchable so He makes this soul untouchable to any other creature.  He states that He has "infinite jealousies" for this soul.






Therefore, be attentive, my daughter, and do not want to ruin the work of my Will in you. I love it so much and it costs Me so much, that I will use all my infinite jealousies; I Myself will guard my Will, so that yours may never have life.”
Vol. 18, February 11, 1926



my blessed Jesus made Himself seen looking in my interior, turning everything upside down to see if there was something which He did not like. And while turning and turning, He took something like a grain of white sand in His hands, and He threw it to the ground. Then He said to me: “Dearest daughter of mine, it is absolutely right that for one who is all for Me, I be all for her. I am too jealous that someone else might give her the slightest comfort. I alone – I Myself alone want to make up for all, and in everything. What is it that afflicts you? What do you want? I do everything to make you content. Do you see that white grain that I removed from you? It was nothing but a little bit of anxiety, for you wanted to know my Will from others. I removed it from you and I threw it on the ground so as to leave you in holy indifference - the way I want you.
Vol. 10, November 29, 1910



“My daughter, be cheered, do not loose heart too much. My Will renders the soul happy, even in the midst of the greatest storms. Even more, she rises so high that the storms cannot touch her, though she sees them and hears them. The place in which she dwells is not subject to storms, but is always serene, and smiling sun, because her origin is in Heaven, her nobility is divine, her sanctity is in God, in which she is kept by God Himself; because, jealous of the sanctity of this soul who lives in my Will, I keep her in my inmost Heart, and I say: ‘Nobody touch her - my Will is untouchable, It is sacred, and all must give honor to my Will’.”
Vol. 12, August 6, 1917






Souls that live in the Divine Will are kept in His Sanctity so that they are suspended above, like the sun, and will not have human supports.  He loves the world because of these souls and looks to them to give Him everything everyone else denies Him.  Others receive from them but these souls only receive from God Himself. And God will keep them as the most unobserved, who make no clamor at all, so that no one will look at them.  Jesus also uses the sea as an example of how He holds, hides and nourishes all souls who live in His Will.





“Now, the Sanctity in my 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 had issued them to the light. Since they never departed from my Will, 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 deepest bottom and extends to all. I would feel as if I defrauded them if I did not keep them aware of, and did not let them do what I do. Therefore, there is no good which does not descend from them.
“In this Sanctity I see my shadows, my images, hovering 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 and to give 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 wants 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 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.
Vol. 13, November 12, 1921



Oh! if you knew how beautiful and delightful it is to see a soul operate in my Will! An image of this can be given to you by father sea and mother earth, which are so bound and linked to each other, that the water cannot be without the earth, and the earth would be sterile without the water. There is like a marriage between them, such that the sea can be called ‘father’, and the earth ‘mother’. Such is the union which the soul should have with my Will.
Now, what is there in the sea? An immensity of waters. Who inhabits these waters? Whom do they nourish? To whom do they give life? To many different fishes, which nourish themselves, swim and dart inside the immense sea. See then, the sea is one, but many fishes live in it; however, the love and the jealousy of the sea toward them is so great, that it keeps them hidden within itself. Its waters lay themselves above and below them, to the right and to the left. If the fish wants to swim and move, it slices through the waters and, darting, it amuses itself; and the water lets itself be cut through, but it presses itself around it, below and above it - it never leaves it. And there where the fish passes, it immediately closes the way behind it, leaving no trace of where it passes or where it reaches, so that no one may follow it. If it wants to be nourished, the water offers itself to feed it; if it wants to sleep, it makes itself its bed; but it never leaves it - it always presses itself around it. But in spite of this, one can see that in the sea there are beings which are not the waters; one can see motions, darts, formed by these mute inhabitants, for which the sea is life, while they are the glory, the honor and the richness of the sea. More than fish is the soul who operates and lives in my Will. My Will is immense, the creature is finite; however, she has her motions, her voicing, her little walking. And as my Will sees her within Itself, Its love and jealousy are so great that, more than sea, It lays Itself above and below her, to the right and to the left, and It makes Itself life, food, word, work, step, suffering, bed, rest and dwelling of this fortunate creature. It follows her everywhere, and It even amuses Itself together with her. I could say that they are my glory, my honor and the richness to whom my Will gives birth. The operating of the soul in my Will is like the swimming and the darting of the fish in the terrestrial sea; and the soul does it in the celestial sea of the Supreme Volition. These souls are the hidden inhabitants of the celestial waves, who live of the immense inheritance of the infinite sea of my Will. And just as the fishes are hidden, disappeared inside the sea, mute, yet they form the glory of the sea and serve as food for man, so do these souls seem disappeared inside the divine sea, mute, yet they form the greatest glory of Creation, and are the primary cause for my letting descend upon earth the delicious food of my Will and of my grace.
Vol. 17, August 9, 1924






We can see a pattern of this Divine Protective Jealousy in the life of the Virgin Mary and which He repeated in Luisa and continues to repeat in souls living in the Divine Will.





Therefore I chose a Virgin, unknown to all, but well known to Me; and if true virginity is my shadow, it was divine jealousy that, choosing Her unknown, wanting Her all for Myself, kept Her unknown to all others. But even though this Celestial Virgin was unknown, I made Myself known, by making my way in order to make Redemption known to all.
The greater the work I want to do, the more I cover the soul with the appearance of the most ordinary things. Now, since the people you mention are well-known people, the divine jealousy could not keep its watch
Vol. 15, April 20, 1923



my Jesus told me: “My little daughter, my newborn of the Divine Will, my Volition conceived you, made you be born, and now raises you with all love. Don’t you see with how much love I hold you in my arms, and do not permit that you take any other food but the breath of my Will? It is the most beautiful, the dearest, the most precious thing which has been issued in Creation until now – the newborn of my Will. Therefore, I will keep you with such jealousy as to let no one touch my newborn. My Will will be everything for you: It will be life, food, garment, clothing and cross for you, because, since It is the greatest thing, it would be unbefitting for your Jesus to mix It with other things which are not a birth from Our Will. Therefore, forget everything, so that no other waters may surround you, inside and out, but the immense sea of the Eternal Volition. I want in you the honor, the nobility, the decorum, of the true newborn daughter of my Will.”
Vol. 16, November 28, 1923






Jesus goes beyond just supplying for this soul in everything.  He becomes her help, and guide, giving unexpected and unforeseen graces and then He goes and consecrates these souls, such as what the priest does over the eucharistic host so Jesus does over the soul and even over her every act.  So that her every act is divine in origin, animated by God's Will and not hers.





“My daughter, daughter of my Will, I love so much one who lives in my Will that I become her custodian, and I keep her sheltered in my own arms. I am jealous that not even one act be lost, because in each act there is the involvement of my very Life.
Vol. 13, August 20, 1921



“My daughter, I am all attention for souls. If they reciprocate Me, and pay as much attention to Me, the ropes of my love remain fixed in their heart, and I multiply my attentions and amuse Myself; otherwise, the ropes remain loose, and my love rejected and saddened.”
Then He added: “With one who does my Will and lives in It, my love finds no obstruction; and I love her so much and have so much predilection for her, as to reserve to Myself alone everything that is needed for her: both help and direction, both unexpected aids and unforeseen graces. Even more, I am jealous that others might do something – I Myself want to do everything for her. And I reach so much jealousy of love that, if I give to priests the authority to consecrate Me in the Sacramental Hosts so that I may be given to souls, with these souls, instead, as they keep repeating the acts in my Will, as they resign themselves, as they make the human will go out in order to let the Divine Will enter, I Myself reserve to Myself the privilege to consecrate these souls. And what the priest does over the host, I do with them - and not only once, but every time she repeats the acts in my Will, like powerful magnet, she calls Me, and I consecrate her for Myself like privileged host, repeating over her the words of the Consecration. And I do this with justice, because the soul, by doing my Will, sacrifices herself more than those souls who receive Communion and do not do my Will. They empty themselves of themselves in order to place Me; they give Me full dominion, and if needed, they are ready to suffer any pain in order to do my Will. And I cannot wait - my love cannot keep from communicating Me to them until when it is convenient to the priest to give them a Sacramental Host. Therefore, I do everything by Myself. Oh! how many times I communicate Myself before the priest feels comfortable to communicate her himself. If it were not so, my love would remain as though hampered and bound in the Sacraments. No, no, I am free; I have the Sacraments inside my Heart, I am the Owner of them and can exercise them whenever I want.”
Vol. 12, June 20, 1918





Jesus makes it so all of His acts surround the soul living in His Will so that they will never touch the earth or take part in anything of it.  His life continuously flows within them reflecting the Creation and being the triumph of Redemption.





“My daughter, my love toward the children of my Will will be such and so great, that I will not permit that they touch the earth. I will lay my steps under their feet so that, if they walk, they may touch my steps, not the earth - in such a way as to feel within them the life of my steps, which will communicate the life of the steps of my Divine Will to the steps of the children of my Will. If they work, they will feel the touch of my works which, lining up, will communicate to their works the virtue of my Will. If they speak, if they think, they will feel the life of my words and of my thoughts which, investing them, will communicate to their minds and words the virtue of my Fiat. So, I Myself will be the carrier of the children of my Will; I will be very jealous that they may not touch anything, so that they may take part in nothing, and may feel my life flow continuously within them, forming the life of the eternal Will in theirs. Therefore, they will be the most beautiful works of my creative hands. Oh, how the work of Creation will be reflected in them! They will be the triumph of my Redemption – everything shall triumph in them. Then will I be able to say: ‘My works are complete’, and I will take rest in the midst of the children of my Supreme Fiat.”
Vol. 24, May 6, 1928





And what is the value of a single act done in the Divine Will?  Each is greater than Creation itself.  Each one contains a Divine Life and each is a new glory and a new feast.





“How could I not keep this soul guarded and not be extremely jealous of her, if just one act of hers is worth more than Creation Itself?
Vol. 13, August 20, 1921



“My daughter, have you seen with what love I amuse Myself and direct the acts done in my Will? My jealousy is such that I do not entrust them to anyone, not even to the soul herself. I leave not a thought, not a fiber, without enclosing all the power of my Will in it. Each one of these acts contains a Divine Life, therefore at the touch of these acts all created things feel the Life of their Creator; they feel once again the strength of that omnipotent Fiat from which they came into existence, and they make feast. Therefore, these acts are new glory and new feast for them.
Vol. 14, April 29, 1922






God's love is so jealous that He makes Himself life of everything within this creature.  Even virtues must take their existence from God's love so that they may be divine and not of any human origin.  As He keeps this soul in His inmost heart the one becomes poured into the other and thereby He shares His own qualities with her embellishing her always more and more.





“My daughter, love encloses everything, chains everything, gives life to everything, triumphs over everything, embellishes everything, enriches everything. Purity is content with not doing any act, gaze, thought or word, which is not honest, while it tolerates the rest; and this amounts to the acquisition of mere natural purity. Love is jealous of everything, even of one’s thought and breath, as honest as one may be. It wants everything for itself, and with this, it gives to the soul not natural, but Divine purity - and so with all the other virtues. So, one can say that love is patience, love is obedience, is sweetness, is fortitude, is peace – it is everything. If all the other virtues do not receive life from love, they can be called natural virtues at the most; but love changes them into Divine virtues. Oh! what a difference between the two: the natural virtues are servants, the Divine are queens. Therefore, may love be enough for you, in everything.”
Vol. 10, November 23, 1910



“My daughter, when a soul fuses herself in my Will, it happens as when two containers, full of different fluids, are poured one into the other: the first remains filled with what the second contained, and the second with the content of the first. In the same way, the creature remains filled with Me, and I with her. And since my Will contains sanctity, beauty, power, love, etc., by filling herself with Me, fusing and abandoning herself in my Will, the soul comes to be filled with my sanctity, with my love, with my beauty, etc., in the most perfect way given to a creature. And I feel I am filled with her, and finding in her my sanctity, my beauty, my love, etc., I look at these things as if they were her own, and I like her so much as to become enamored, in such a way as to keep her jealously in my inmost Heart, enriching her and embellishing her continuously with my divine qualities, to be ever more delighted and enamored.”
Vol. 11, August 27, 1915






Amazingly the value of these acts and virtues that take their existence from the Divine Will are not static.  The value actually increases with each new knowledge on the Divine Will that the creature gains.  So that the creature, as well, guards more and more, with loving jealousy, everything of the Divine Will.




“Every time I speak to you about my Will and you acquire new understandings and knowledges, your act in my Will receives more value and you acquire more immense riches. It happens as to a man who possesses a gem, and knows that this gem is worth a penny: he is rich one penny. Now, it happens that he shows his gem to a skilled expert, who tells him that his gem has a value of five thousand lira. That man no longer possesses one penny, but he is rich five thousand lira. Now, after some time he has the opportunity to show his gem to another expert, even more experienced, who assures him that his gem contains the value of one hundred thousand lira, and is ready to buy it if he wants to sell. Now that man is rich one hundred thousand lira. According to his knowledge of the value of his gem, he becomes richer, and feels greater love and appreciation for the gem; he keeps it in custody more jealously, knowing that the gem is all his fortune, while before he held it as a trifle. Yet, the gem has not changed – that which it was, so it is now; he is the one who has changed, by understanding the value that the gem contains.
“Now, the same happens with my Will, as well as with virtues. According to how the soul understands their value and acquires knowledge of them, she comes to acquire new values and new riches in her acts. Therefore, the more you know my Will, the more your act will acquire value. Oh! if you knew what seas of graces I open between you and Me every time I speak to you about the effects of my Will, you would die of joy and would make feast, as if you had acquired new kingdoms to dominate.”
Vol. 13, August 25, 1921



“Are not perhaps the so many knowledges on my Will remedies? Every manifestation and word that I say is a fortitude that I put around the weakness of the human will, it is a food that I prepare, it is a bait, a taste, a light in order to make her reacquire the lost sight. Therefore be attentive and do not lose anything of that which my Will manifests to you, because in his time all will be served, nothing will be lost. Do you believe that He doesn’t hold account even of one single word of that which he says? All numbered and nothing lost; and if in your soul he has formed his chair/seat in order to deposit his truths, however the primary chair\seat holds it reserved in itself as the greatest treasure that belongs to him, in a way that if you disperse some word or manifestation that belongs to him, already the original is conserved in oneself, because that which regards my Divine Will is of infinite value and the infinite can not be nor is it subject to disperse; rather jealous he conserves his truths in the divine archives. Therefore you also learn to be jealous and vigilant and to appreciate his holy lessons.”
Vol. 30, January 17, 1932






Jesus' jealousy of all the acts done by souls living in His Will is such that He gathers and guards them all, feeding these souls the continuous Life of His Will.  He even places thousands of Angels as custodians over each act and they adore the Eternal Will found within each act.






“My daughter, my Divine Will is the gatherer of everything that belongs to It. Jealous of Its acts, It does not disperse a single one of them, because each of Its acts contains an infinite act, one whole entire eternity, an interminability that never ends. Therefore, they are acts not subject to being dispersed; and when my Fiat forms Its acts, the love, the jealousy for Its act is so great, that It keeps it on Its lap of light as glory and triumph of the power of Its operating. Now, when the soul lives in my Divine Will and encloses her acts in It, she becomes an act of Divine Will; and then she repeats for herself all the acts that the Divine Will does, and she gives It the glory, the requital, of Its divine acts. And, oh! how my Divine Fiat feels triumphant of this creature, finding in her a pure act of Its Will; and It makes Itself the gatherer of everything that this creature can do - It does not disperse even one breath, because in everything It finds Its operating Will, and this is enough in order for It to have acts worthy of It. And It loves her so much, that It keeps her clasped in Its lap of light, to give her the continuous Life of Its Volition, and to receive from her the requital of It. Therefore, my daughter, be attentive to receive this Life of Divine Will, so as to be able to say: ‘Life of Divine Will You give me, and Life of Divine Will I give You’.”
Vol. 28, May 20, 1930



the same for the acts done in my Will: my love, my jealousy toward them is such that grace caresses them, my love conceives them, fecundates them and matures them. I place thousands of Angels as custodians of one single act done in my Will. In fact, since these acts done in my Will are seeds in order that my Will may be done on earth as it is in Heaven, everyone is jealous of these acts. Their dew is my breath; their shadow is my light. The Angels remain enraptured by them and, reverent, they adore them, because in these acts they see the Eternal Will, which deserves all their adoration. Only when I find souls who, picking them as divine fruits make of them food for their own souls, then are these acts left. Oh, fecundity and multiplicity of these acts! The creature herself who does them cannot count them.”
Vol. 14, April 25, 1922





Such a soul is the smile of Jesus and He focuses on them making Himself actor and spectator of everything they do even to make them nearly forget the exile of life.





Oh! how so very different is the sanctity of the soul who lives in the Divine Will! These souls are the smile of Jesus; they are far away from everyone, even from the very directors. Only Jesus is everything for them; therefore, nobody worries because of them. The beneficial air that they possess embalms all; they are the order and the harmony of all. Jesus, jealous of these souls, makes Himself actor and spectator of whatever they do – there is not one heartbeat, breath or thought which He does not regulate and dominate. Jesus keeps this soul so absorbed in the Divine Will that she can hardly remember that she is living in the exile.
Vol. 12, August 14, 1917





The jealously of God, for the soul that lives in Him, is such that He alone wants to provide everything for His child and superabundantly too.  There is no danger to the soul in this as she converts everything into Divine Will always looking to the Divine Will in all things.  Meaning there's no risk that she will become attached to the gifts over the giver.  In others, however, natural means will often be taken away so that that one does not become attached to them placing them before God.





“My daughter, let father know, in my name, that I thank him and I will reward the goodness of his heart for the care he has for you. However, let him know that the daughter of my Will has no need of anything, for my Will makes her abound with everything; even more, It is jealous that others might offer something to her, because It alone wants to give everything to Its daughter. In fact, wherever my Divine Will reigns, there is no fear that natural means and abundance of goods might do harm; on the contrary, the more means she has and the more abundance she enjoys, the more she looks at the Power, the Goodness, the richness of the Supreme Fiat in them, and she converts everything into most pure gold of Divine Will. So, the more my Will gives to her, the more It feels glorified in carrying out Its life in the creature, in offering Its own things to the one who lets It dominate and reign. It would be absurd if a very rich father had poor children - such a father would deserve to be condemned. And besides, what would be the purpose of his riches if the birth that came from his own body – his very children - conducted a life of hardships and miseries? Would it not be a dishonor for this father, and an unbearable bitterness for these children, to know that, while the father is extremely rich, they lack everything and can hardly satisfy their hunger?
If this would be absurd and a dishonor for a father in the natural order, much more so in the supernatural order of the Supreme Fiat. The Supreme Fiat is more than father, for It contains the fount of all goods, and therefore, wherever It is present, happiness reigns and It makes one abound with everything. More so since, with the soul who has the possession of the Divine Will, It administers, to soul and body, a sharp and penetrating sight, in such a way that she penetrates into the natural things, which hide It as a veil; and tearing these veils, in the natural things she finds the noble queen of the Divine Will reigning and dominating within her. So, natural things disappear for her, and in all things she finds that adorable Will which she possesses; she kisses It, she adores It, and everything becomes Divine Will for the soul. Therefore, each additional natural thing is one new act of Divine Will for her, which she possesses. So, natural things are means for one who is child of my Will, in order to make known more what my Will does, can do, and possesses, and to what excessive point It loves the creature. Do you want to know, then, why creatures lack natural means, and many times these are snatched away from them, and they reduce themselves to the most squalid misery? First, because they do not possess the fullness of the Supreme Fiat; second, because they confuse natural things, and put nature in the place of God; nor do they look at the Supreme Will in the natural things, but, greedy, they become attached to them to form a vain glory for themselves, an esteem that blinds them, an idol for their hearts. Given this, it is necessary that natural means be lacking in order to put their souls in safety. But for one who is child of my Will all these dangers do not exist, and therefore I want them to abound with everything, and to lack nothing.”
Vol. 20, January 28, 1927



God jealously keeps such a creature throughout her entire life and then at the moment of her death He wants to bring her to Himself right away.  He even goes so far as to make up for anything that she might lack in order to reveal Himself to her immediately without her ever touching Purgatory.




“My daughter, one who does my Will can by no means go to Purgatory, because my Will purges the soul of everything. After keeping her so jealously during her life, in the custody of my Volition, how could I allow the fire of Purgatory to touch her? At the most she may lack some clothing, but my Will, before revealing the Divinity to her, will clothe her with all that she may lack. And then I reveal Myself.”
Vol. 11, March 8, 1914




So if you find yourself seemingly being isolated from the world it just may be that you are being isolated so that you can be bound with God and He is jealously keeping you for Himself.  He Himself says in the Volumes to Luisa about how isolation is one of the hardest sufferings for Him:


...do not ever leave me alone, solitude is one of the hardest and most intimate sufferings of my Heart; not having one to whom to say a word to, as much in the sufferings as in the joys, it makes me give into such manias of sorrow and of love that if you might be able to experience them you would die of pure sorrow.
Vol. 36, September 18, 1938




So He selects a few to share this suffering with Him in as much as the creature is able to.  But just as He shares His pain with these souls so will He also share an everlasting bond with them which can only be understood in the prefigured Marital bond.  He has bound Himself to this soul and is anxiously awaiting, with bated breath, that it's every glance, thought and act might be directed toward Him, living only for Him and He, in turn, lives only for them.  




“My good daughter I greatly love creatures, but I feel more drawn to love, (to be) enraptured and conquered by the soul that lives abandoned in my arms, as if she might have no one in the world but only her Jesus; she trusts only me and if they offer her other supports she refuses them, in order to have the support of her Jesus, that holds her tightly between his arms, defends her and takes all care of her.  These are the souls that I greatly greatly love; my preferred ones, that I surround with my divine power; I form around her the wall of my love, in a way that troubles one who touches her (from) me, my love will know how to defend them and my power will knock down those people that want to displease me.

“The souls abandoned in me, live only for me and I live only for them, as if we might live with one breath alone and with one love alone; and if some human support is presented, they look if I am there in that support, if I am not there they run away, in order to arrive to shelter themselves in my arms from it.  Of these souls alone I can trust, to entrust my secrets, even to lean myself on them; I am sure that they won’t go out from my Will because they are always together with me.

“Instead one who doesn’t live all abandoned in me, escapes from my arms, she doesn’t refuse the human supports, rather she takes gusto/(pleasure) from them, they are inconstant; now they search (for) me, now the creature; they are constrained to feel the disillusionment of creatures that open in their souls profound tears; they feel the earth in their heart, and my Will as life is far from them.  Oh, if they might abandon themselves in my arms!  The earth would disappear for them, they would not take care of/pay attention to any one, because I alone am enough for everyone.

“I love so much one who lives abandoned in my arms, that I manifest to them my greater excesses of love, my finesses of love, my caresses are for them, I arrive to invent new stratagems of love, in order to hold them occupied and all unified in my love.  Therefore only live abandoned in my arms, and in all things you will find your Jesus who defends you, helps you and sustains you.”

Fiat!!!

Co-Redemptrix, the scandal indeed



(As a side note I love Michelangelo's final Pieta, although some say it is rough and unfinished.  It shows the figure of Jesus as melting into the figure of Mary, so identified with each other that it is hard to see where one ends and the other begins.)


Back in Dec of 2019 and then again in March of 2021 Pope Francis commented on the title of Our Lady as Co-Redemptix.


“She never wanted for herself something that was of her son,” Francis said. “She never introduced herself as co-redemptrix. No. Disciple,” he said, meaning that Mary saw herself as a disciple of Jesus.  

Mary, the pope insisted, “never stole for herself anything that was of her son,” instead “serving him. Because she is mother. She gives life.”

“When they come to us with the story of declaring her this or making that dogma, let’s not get lost in foolishness [in Spanish, tonteras],” he said.

12-2019 Pope Francis calls Mary as co-redemptrix foolishness



Jesus, Francis said speaking off-the-cuff, entrusted the entire Church and all the faithful to Mary, but “as a mother. Not as a goddess. Not as a co-redemptrix. As a mother.”

“It’s true that Christian piety always gives beautiful titles to her, like a son to the mother … how many beautiful things does a son say to the mother? But pay attention: the [beautiful] things that the Church, the saints, say to Mary, take nothing away from Christ’s uniqueness as a redeemer,” the pope added, always looking away from his prepared remarks.

“He [Christ] is the only redeemer. They [Marian titles] are expressions of love like a son to the mother, sometimes exaggerated, but we know love always makes us do exaggerated things. Lovesickness,” Francis said.

3-2021 Pope Francis refutes Mary as Co-Redemptrix



Interesting St John Paul II used the term Co-Redemptrix on several occasions.



"Pope St. John Paul II has used the term co-redemptrix on at least five occasions in the course of his papal teachings."

Pope Francis vs the Marian Title Co-Redemptrix




It's true that Mary under the title of Co-Redemptrix is not currently accepted as dogma in the church but I couldn't help feeling very sad for Pope Francis' response.   I heard the Gospel of Mark read in the daily mass recently and felt the connection of people using human measures to try to explain away the divine ways.



He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,

‘This people honors me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me;
in vain do they worship me,
    teaching human precepts as doctrines.’

You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”

Mark 7: 6-8



In the Volumes Jesus states that Mary was not to be dis-similar from Him and that she was to be co-redemptrix suffering all pains voluntarily with Him.  And when Jesus speaks He does not speak in "exaggerated expressions" but in truth.  




“My daughter, there is an immense difference between one who must form a good, a kingdom, and one who must receive it in order to enjoy it.  I came upon earth to expiate, to redeem, to save man; and in order to do this I had to receive the pains of creatures, and take them upon Myself as if they were my own.  My Divine Mama, who was to be co-redemptrix, was not to be dissimilar from Me; rather, the five drops of blood which She gave Me from Her most pure Heart in order to form my little Humanity, came out of Her crucified Heart.  For Us the pains were offices which We came to fulfill, therefore they were all voluntary pains, not impositions of a fragile nature. 

Vol. 20, January 30, 1927




In some ways it is understandable that Pope Francis can not accept Mary under the title of Co-Redemptrix, but it is because he is looking at her with human eyes and not the eyes of God.  His knowledge is limited to only that what he, himself, can see.  Jesus explains how Mary's heart was indeed the deposit of all sufferings and she was pierced not just with the seven visible swords that the Church recognizes but by millions of swords, one for each sin from mankind.




“My little daughter, you yourself are saying how necessary knowledge is.  If it is necessary for you, much more so for others.  Now, you must know that in order to form the Kingdom of Redemption, those who distinguished themselves the most in suffering were my Mama and I.  And even though apparently She suffered none of the pains that the other creatures knew, except for my death which was known by all, and which was the fatal and harrowing blow for Her maternal Heart, more than any most sorrowful death, however, since She possessed the unity of the light of my Will, this light brought to Her pierced Heart, not only the seven swords told by the Church, but all swords, spears and pricks of all sins and pains of creatures, which martyred Her maternal Heart in a harrowing way.  But this is nothing.  This light brought Her all my pains, my humiliations, my torments, my thorns, my nails, the most intimate pains of my Heart.  The Heart of my Mama was the true Sun:  though one can see nothing but light, this light contains all the goods and effects that the earth receives and possesses; so, one can say that the earth is enclosed in the Sun.  The same for the Sovereign Queen:  one could only see Her person, but the light of my Supreme Will enclosed in Her all possible imaginable pains; and the more intimate and unknown these pains were, the more valuable and powerful they were over the Divine Heart, to impetrate the longed for Redeemer; and more than solar light, they descended into the hearts of creatures, to conquer them and bind them in the Kingdom of Redemption.

“So, the Church knows so very little of the pains of the Celestial Sovereign Queen, that one can say that She knows only the visible pains, and this is why She gives the number of the seven swords.  But if She knew that Her maternal Heart was the refuge, the deposit of all pains, and that the light of my Will brought everything to Her, sparing Her nothing, the Church would not speak of seven swords, but of millions of swords.  More so, since they were intimate pains, and therefore God alone knows the intensity of the sorrow.  This is why, by right, She was constituted Queen of martyrs and of all sorrows.  Creatures can give a weight, a value to exterior pains, but they do not know enough of the interior ones to be able to attribute to them the right price.  Now, in order to form in my Mama, first the Kingdom of my Will, and then that of Redemption, so many pains were not necessary because, since She had no sin, the inheritance of pains was not for Her – Her inheritance was the Kingdom of my Will.  But in order to give the Kingdom of Redemption to creatures, She had to submit Herself to so many pains.  So, the fruits of Redemption were matured in the Kingdom of my Will possessed by Me and by my Mama.  There is nothing beautiful, good or useful, which does not come from my Will. 

Vol. 19, July 11, 1926 





Jesus speaks of His office as Redeemer and Our Lady's office as Co-Redemptrix.  Mary, whose mission is to be Mother of God was enriched with grace as to surpass all creatures, terrestrial and celestial combined.  But this is just the beginning.  She reciprocated God for the love and adoration of all, repairing for each before God.  This is what drew the second person of the Trinity to incarnate Himself in Her womb.  And as Jesus was conceived in her, she received the office of Co-Redemptrix.  She then took part in, and embraced together with Jesus, all the pains, the satisfactions, the reparations, and the maternal love toward all.  So that when Jesus declared that Mary was the Mother of all, on the cross, He did so in truth, not in a beautiful exaggeration...





“My daughter, in certain missions or offices, such gifts, graces, riches and prerogatives must be enclosed within them, that if it wasn’t for the mission or the office occupied, it would not be necessary for one to possess the whole magnitude of what he possesses, which has been given to him because of the necessity to carry out that office.

My Humanity was given by my Divinity the mission of the salvation of souls and the office of Redeemer – of redeeming them. Because of this office, I was entrusted their souls, their pains, their satisfactions; so, I enclosed everything. And if my Humanity had not enclosed even just one soul, one pain, one satisfaction, the office of Redeemer would not have been complete - I would not have enclosed within Myself all the graces, the goods and the light which it was necessary to give to each soul. And even though not all souls are saved, this says nothing; I was to enclose the goods of all, so that, on my part, I might have the necessary and superabundant graces for all, in order to be able to save all. This was befitting to Me for the decorum and the just honor of my office of Redeemer. The same happens to the sun which is above your horizon: it contains so much light as to be able to give light to all; and even if not everyone wanted to enjoy its light, because of the unique office of sun which it has, it possesses even that light which creatures might refuse. If this was befitting to the sun, because it was created by God as the unique sphere which was to warm the earth and embrace it with its light – in fact, when one thing or one office is unique, in order to be able to carry out its office, it is necessary for it to contain so much of that good as to be able to give it to all, without exhausting one atom of it in giving it to others – much more befitting was it to Me, who was to be the new Sun of souls; who was to give light to all and embrace everything with my light, to be able to bring them to the Supreme Majesty, and offer to It an act which would contain all acts, and make superabundant light descend upon all in order to place them in safety.

In addition to Myself, there is my Celestial Mama, who was given the unique mission of Mother of a Son-God, and the office of Co-Redemptrix of mankind. For Her mission of Divine Maternity, She was enriched with so much grace, that all that belongs to the other creatures, both celestial and terrestrial, united all together, will never be able to equal Her. But this was not enough to draw the Word into Her maternal womb; She embraced all creatures, She loved, repaired, adored the Supreme Majesty for all, in such a way as to accomplish, Herself alone, all that the human generations owed God. So, in Her virginal Heart She had an inexhaustible vein toward God and toward all creatures. When the Divinity found in this Virgin the requital of the love of all, It felt enraptured, and formed in Her Its Conception. And as She conceived Me, She took on the office of Co-Redemptrix, and She took part in, and embraced together with Me, all the pains, the satisfactions, the reparations, the maternal love toward all. So, in the Heart of my Mother there was a fiber of maternal love toward each creature. This is why, when I was on the Cross, in truth and with justice I declared Her the Mother of all. She ran together with Me in the love, in the pains - in everything; She never left Me alone. If the Eternal One had not placed so much grace in Her as to be able to receive the love of all from Her alone, He would never have moved from Heaven to come upon earth to redeem mankind. Here is the necessity, the befittingness, that, having the mission of Mother of the Word, She embrace and surpass everything.

When an office is unique, it comes as a consequence that one must let nothing escape him; one must have everything under one’s eyes, so as to be able to hold out that good which one possesses; one must be like a true sun which can hold out light to all. So it was for Me and for my Celestial Mama.

Vol. 17, May 1, 1925





Now without doubt there is still a great difference between Jesus and Mary.  Mary will always be a creature before God and she lived off of His reflections.  But all this is done in such a manner that no one else can ever equal her.  God was able to operate perfectly and fully in her because She lived fully in the Divine Will from the first moment of her existence.  Furthermore, God, who is perfect and immeasurable to us in His generosity is still on the look out to find others to reflect the reverberations of His life and sorrows in.  Others who are willing to live in His Will by His Fiat. 




“My daughter, I was the first King of sorrows, and being Man and God, I had to centralize everything within Me in order to have primacy over everything, even over sorrows. Those of my Mama were nothing other than the reverberations of mine which, being reflected in Her, made Her share in all my sorrows which, piercing Her, filled Her with such bitterness and pain that She felt Herself dying at each reverberation of my sorrows. But love sustained Her and gave Her life again. Therefore, not only for honor, but also by right of justice, She was the first Queen of the immense sea of Her sorrows.” While He was saying this, I seemed to see my Mama in front of Jesus, and everything that Jesus contained, the sorrows and the piercings of that Most Holy Heart, were reflected in the Heart of the sorrowful Queen. At those reflections, many swords formed in the Heart of the pierced Mama; and these swords were marked by a Fiat of light, in which She remained circumfused, in the midst of so many Fiats of most refulgent light which gave Her so much glory that there are no words to narrate it.

Then, Jesus continued, saying: “It was not the sorrows that constituted my Mama as Queen and made Her shine with so much glory, but it was my omnipotent Fiat, which was braided to Her every act and sorrow, and constituted Itself life of each of Her sorrows. So, my Fiat was the first act that formed the sword, giving Her the intensity of pain that It wanted. My Fiat could place all the sorrows It wanted in that pierced Heart, adding piercings upon piercings, pains upon pains, without a shadow of the slightest resistance. On the contrary, She felt honored that my Fiat would constitute Itself life of even a heartbeat of Hers; and my Fiat gave Her complete glory and constituted Her true and legitimate Queen.

Now, who will be the souls in whom I can reflect the reverberations of my sorrows and of my very Life? Those who will have my Fiat as life. This Fiat will make them absorb my reflections, and I will be generous in sharing with them that which my Will operates in Me. Therefore, in my Will do I await souls, to give them the true dominion and the complete glory of each act and pain that they may suffer. The operating and suffering outside of my Will I do not recognize; I could say: ‘I have nothing to give you; what is the will that animated you in doing and suffering this? Get your reward from that one.’ Many times, doing good or suffering, if my Will is not present in them, can be miserable slaveries which degenerate into passions, while it is my Will alone that gives true dominion, true virtues, true glory, such as to transform the human into divine.”

Vol. 15, March 23, 1923





Mary is an essential part of the mission of God's manifest Will upon the earth where the Holy Trinity is veiled.  Jesus represents Himself, the Son, the man/God and Redeemer.  Mary veils the Paternity of God the Father and as God the Father is inseparable from His Son so is Mary inseparable from Jesus and she is in truth the Co-Redemptrix of mankind.  It is Luisa who will veil the role of the Holy Spirit, being inseparable from the one and the other.





‘The mission of my Will will veil the Most Holy Trinity upon earth. Just as in Heaven there are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, inseparable from One Another but distinct among Themselves, forming the whole beatitude of Heaven; in the same way, on earth there will be three persons who, because of their missions, will be distinct and inseparable among themselves: the Virgin, with Her Maternity which veils the Paternity of the Celestial Father and encloses His power in order to fulfill Her mission of Mother of the Eternal Word and Co-Redemptrix of mankind; my Humanity, for the mission of Redeemer, which enclosed the Divinity, and the Word, without ever separating from the Father and from the Holy Spirit, manifested my celestial wisdom - adding the bond of rendering Myself inseparable from my Mama; and you, for the mission of my Will, as the Holy Spirit will make display of His love, manifesting to you the secrets, the prodigies of my Will, the goods It contains, to make happy those who will give themselves to knowing how much good this Supreme Will contains, to love It and to let It reign in their midst, offering their souls to let It dwell within their hearts, that It may be able to form Its Life in them – adding the bond of inseparability between you, the Mother and the Eternal Word.

These three missions are distinct and inseparable. The first two have prepared the graces, the light, the work, and with unheard-of pains, for the third mission of my Will, to then fuse themselves all in It without leaving their office, so as to find rest, because my Will alone is celestial rest. These missions will not be repeated, because the exuberance of grace, of light, of knowledge is such and so great that all human generations can be filled with them; even more, they will not be able to contain all the good which they contain.

Vol. 17, May 4, 1925




In response to Pope Francis' statement that Mary "... never introduced herself as co-redemptrix."  In fact she did.  In the Hours of the Passion of the Blessed Virgin's Desolation, Mary states that she binds all souls to her Son's cross so that no one may be lost by trials or crosses.  She claims this right as Co-Redemptix and mother. 




Now I see you are obliged to return to Jerusalem by that same path on which you came.  After just a few steps the cross already appears, on which Jesus suffered so much and then died.  You run to it and kiss it.  Seeing it stained with blood, the pains he suffered on it are renewed in your heart one by one.  Unable to contain your sorrow, sobbing, you exclaim:

 

"O cross!  How is it that you were so cruel to my Son?  Now, you didn't spare him in anything!  What wrong did he do to you?  You didn't permit me, his sorrowful mother, to give him even a sip of water when he asked for it; and to his parched mouth you gave him gall and vinegar.  I felt my transfixed heart liquefied, and would have liked to offer my melted heart to those lips to quench his thirst, but I received the sorrow of being rejected.  Yes, O cross, you are cruel, but holy, because you were divinized and sanctified by your contact with my Son.  Change that cruelty you used with him into compassion for miserable mortals.  And for the pains he suffered on you, plead grace and strength for suffering souls, so that no one may be lost because of trial and crosses.  Souls cost me too much.  They cost me the life of a Son-God.  And as Co-redemptrix and mother, I bind them to you, O cross."

The Hours of the Passion, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., The Blessed Virgin Mary's Desolation





Luisa, Mary and Jesus are so important in the mission of the Kingdom of the Divine Will that Luisa forms the second link to Jesus' humanity, where He forms the first link to the true living in the Divine Will.  Luisa feeling crushed and confused by this asks then about Mary and He says that she is so identified with Him that she forms one link with Him and does not enter into the secondary part of His love.




“Now, the first link which connected the true living in my Will was my Humanity.  My Humanity, identified with my Divinity, swam in the Eternal Volition, and kept tracing all the acts of creatures in order to make them Its own, and give to the Father a divine glory on the part of creatures, and bring to all the acts of creatures the value, the love, the kiss of the Eternal Volition.  In this sphere of the Eternal Volition, I could see all the acts of creatures that could possibly be done and were not done, and the very good acts done badly; and I did those which were not done, and redid those done badly.  Now, these acts, not done, and done only by Me, are all suspended in my Will, and I await the creatures to come to live in my Volition, and repeat in my Will that which I did.  This is why I chose you as the second link of connection with my Humanity, forming one single link with mine, living in my Volition, repeating my very acts.  Otherwise, on this side my love would remain without outpouring, without glory on the part of creatures for what my Divinity operated in my Humanity, and without the perfect purpose of Creation, which must be enclosed and perfected in my Will.  It would be as if I had shed all my Blood, suffered so much, and no one had known it.  Who would have loved Me?  Which heart would be shaken?  No one; and therefore in no one would I have had my fruits, the glory of Redemption.”

Vol. 12, January 29, 1919


(Here Luisa is questioning what she received in the previous entry.)  I was saying to my sweet Jesus:  ‘How is it possible that I am the second link of connection with your Humanity?  There are souls so very dear to You, under whose feet I do not deserve to be; and then, there is your inseparable Mama, who occupies the first place in everything and over everything.  It seems to me, my sweet Love, that You really want to play with me; yet, to the crudest torment of my soul, I am forced by obedience to put this on paper.  My Jesus, have pity on my hard martyrdom.’

While I was saying this, my always lovable Jesus, caressing me, told me:

 

“My daughter, why do you trouble yourself?  Is it perhaps not my usual way to elect from the dust and form great portents - portents of grace?  All the honor is mine, and the weaker and lower is the subject, the more I am glorified.  And then, my Mama does not enter the secondary part of my love, of my Will, but forms one single link with Me.

I find it ironically amusing, although very sad as well, that so many buck at Mary being given the title of Co-Redemptrix.  If Pope Francis has a hard time accepting this of She who was born immaculate and was given the mission of Mother of God and Mother of mankind how can he even begin to accept the great plan of God as He reveals in the Volumes.  Here Jesus tells Luisa how her mission is of such enormity that she will not be able to finish it on earth but it will continue long after she has gone to Heaven.  It is none other than establishing the Kingdom on earth through revealing all the knowledges about the Divine Will.  And just as the Holy Trinity is one in three so the earthy representatives of this manifestation are also united and Jesus says to Luisa  "...then We will give the name of Co-Redemptrix of Our Will, declaring you mother of all the children of Our Fiat."  So Luisa shares in the title of Co-Redemptrix and Mother of all." 





(Luisa was questioning)...how will it be for Father [Di Francia]?  It will be a mission without fruit, and it will be the same for me, if I should have the good fortune to flee to my (Heavenly) home.

What will be the fruit of my mission?  To have sacrificed myself so much, to have spent entire nights writing; the many interests of Jesus will also be without fruit, because a good which He Himself has given brings forth its fruit when it is known.  So if they aren’t made known, they will rest without fruit, without anyone receiving the goods which they contain.

Now as I was thinking that, my sweet Jesus moved within my interior, and He said to me:

 “My daughter, whoever has been given a mission and has barely had an opportunity to begin, or has not been able to complete the entirety of his missions because at the best moment I call him to Heaven, will continue from up there his mission, so that it may bring into the depths of the soul its deposit of good relating to the knowledges which he has acquired in life.  In Heaven he will understand with greater clarity and understanding the great good of the knowledge of the Supreme Fiat.  He will pray the Fiat, indeed he will ask all of Heaven to pray, that (the knowledges) be known throughout the earth; he will beseech that clearer light be given to whoever must work in making It known.

“This is especially true because every knowledge concerning My Will will bring them one more glory, [and] a greater happiness, and as they are known throughout the earth, their glory and happiness will be doubled, because this will be the fulfillment of his mission which he had in his will to do.  It is just that as his mission is unfolding upon the earth, that [the earth] receive the fruit of his mission; for this reason I told him to make haste, I strongly urged him not to waste time, because I wanted him to not only begin this work, but that he make great progress in the publication of the knowledges of the Eternal Fiat, so that he not have to do it all from Heaven.  He, instead, who has completed his mission on earth can say that his mission is finished; but whoever has not completed [theirs], must do so from Heaven.

“As for you, your mission is very long, and you will not be able to complete it on earth.  Until all the knowledges [about the Divine Will] are known on earth, and the Kingdom of the Divine Will is known, your mission cannot be said to be completed.  In Heaven you will have much to do; My Will, which held you so occupied on earth on behalf of Its Kingdom, will not leave you - you will still work with It in Heaven.  It will always keep you in Its company so that you will do nothing other than descend and ascend from Heaven to earth to help establish My Kingdom with decorum, honor, and glory.

“This will be your great contentment, happiness, and highest glory - in seeing your smallness which, united to My Volition, has transported Heaven to the earth, and the earth to Heaven.  You could not have any greater gratification than this - seeing the glory of your Creator completed by His creatures, the (natural) order re-established, all of creation with its full splendor, and seeing man, Our dear jewel, in his place of honor.  How great will be Our, and your, utmost satisfaction, glory, and unending happiness to see the purpose of creation realized!  To you then We will give the name of Co-Redemptrix of Our Will, declaring you mother of all the children of Our Fiat.  Will you not then be happy?

Jesus again asserts that Luisa's mission is intimately bound with His own and Mary's, that is making the Divine Will known.  So that Mary brought forth the Humanity of Jesus to present to the world, Luisa is bringing forth the Spiritual Life of the Divine Will to make Him known to the world and to all.




Now, your mission of making the eternal Will known is braided with mine and with that of my dear Mother. And since it is to serve for the good of all, it was necessary to centralize this eternal Sun of my Volition in one creature, so that, as unique mission, this Sun might let Its rays blaze from one alone, so that all might take the good of Its light. Therefore, for the decorum and honor of my Will, I was to pour into you such graces, light, love and knowledge of It, as the herald and preparation which befitted the dwelling of the Sun of my Volition. Even more, you must know that, just as my Humanity, because of Its office of Redeemer, conceived all souls, in the same way, because of your office of making my Will known and reigning, as you keep doing your acts in my Will for all, all creatures remain conceived in your will; and as you keep repeating your acts in my Will, you form so many sips of life of Divine Will as to be able to nourish all the creatures which, by virtue of my Will, are as though conceived in yours. Do you not feel how, in my Will, you embrace everyone, from the first to the last creature which is to exist upon earth; and, for all, you would want to satisfy, love, please this Supreme Will, binding It to all, removing all obstacles that prevent Its dominion within creatures, making It known to all; and you expose yourself, even with pains, to satisfy this Supreme Will for all, which so much loves to make Itself known and to reign in the midst of creatures? To you, firstborn daughter of my Divine Volition, it is given to make known the qualities, the value, the good It contains, and Its eternal sorrow of living unknown, hidden, in the midst of the human generations; even more, despised and offended by the evil, and placed by the good at the level of the other virtues, as if It were a little lamp, like the other virtues, and not a Sun, which my Will is.

The mission of my Will is the greatest that can exist; there is no good which does not descend from It; there is no glory which does not come from It. Heaven and earth - everything is centered in It. Therefore, be attentive, and do not want to waste time; everything I have told you for this mission of my Will was necessary - not for you, but for the honor, the glory, the knowledge and the sanctity of my Will. And since my Will is one, one was to be she to whom I was to entrust It, and through whom I was to make Its rays blaze, to do good to all.”

Now there is still more.  Something that can be only worthy of our all powerful, merciful and benevolent God.  And here is the pinacol of the scandal indeed that would really have Pope Francis squirming in his seat.  Jesus tells Luisa that all who do the Hours of the Passion in the Divine Will also receive a share in the title of co-redemptrix.  So all of us, although certainly to a lesser degree, can receive this same title of co-redemptrix that is rightly given to Mary and that Luisa as well shares in due to her intimate mission linked to Mary and Jesus.



 

As I continued the usual Hours of the Passion, my lovable Jesus told me:

 

“My daughter, the world is in continuous act of renewing my Passion; and since my immensity envelopes everything, inside and outside the creatures, from their contact I am forced to receive nails, thorns, scourges, scorns, spit 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 spit taken away.  I feel I am repaid in good for the evil that others do to Me, and in feeling that their contact does no harm to Me, but good, I lean more and more on them.”

In addition to this, returning to speak about these Hours of the Passion, blessed Jesus said:

 “My daughter, know that by doing these Hours the soul takes my thoughts and makes them her own; she takes my reparations, prayers, desires, affections, and even my most intimate fibers, and makes them her own.  And rising up between Heaven and earth, she does my same office, and as co-redemptrix, she says with Me:  ‘Ecce ego, mitte me  [Here I am, send me] - I want to repair for all, answer for all, and impetrate good for all’.”

and your, utmost satisfaction, glory, and unending happiness to see the purpose of creation realized!  To you then We will give the name of Co-Redemptrix of Our Will, declaring you mother of all the children of Our Fiat.  Will you not then be happy?

Now to those who have the faith of a child this is not strange at all.  Doesn't God Himself, reveal just this to us, through Paul when he states that  he, Paul, is completing what is lacking in Christ's sufferings with his own.  If Paul can see how we are all called to identify, unite, and even complete the mission of Redemption how then would such an all good, all gracious, all benevolent God then not also share the glory of the title with His own who are so united to Him. 



24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its servant according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
