Our Lady and Mother



On this feast of the Immaculate Conception and the beginning of this Jubilee of Mercy I wanted to take a moment to see what it is that Jesus Himself says about Our Lady as only He can do justice to Her.  In the Poem of the Man God there is a scene where Jesus reveals to some of his Apostles and disciples the mystery of Mary.

"I listened to you apostles, disciples and relatives speak, and I heard your impressions, your recollections and your statements concerning My Mother.  I will transfigure all that, which is admirable although still very human, into a supernatural knowledge.  Because My Mother is to be transfigured, before Me, in the eyes of the most deserving, to show Her as She is.  You see a woman.  A woman different from other women, because of Her holiness, but in actual fact you see Her as a soul wrapped in a body, just like all women Her sisters.  But now I wish to reveal to you the soul of My Mother.  Her true and eternal beauty.
 
Come here, Mother.  Do not blush.  Do not withdraw shyly, sweet dove of God.  Your Son is the Word of God and He can speak f You and of Your mystery, of Your mysteries, O sublime Mystery of God.  Let us sit down here, in the pleasant shade of the trees in blossom near the house, near Your holy room.  Thus!  Let us lift this fluttering curtain, so that waves of holiness and Paradise may come out of this virginal room, to saturate us all with Your virtues...  Yes.  Me as well.  That I may smell of You, O perfect Virgin, so that I may be able to bear the stench of the world, in order that I may see purity after saturating My eyes with Your Purity...  Marjiam, John, Stephen come here, and you women disciples, stand directly in front of the open door of the chaste abode of the most Chaste amongst women.  And you, My friends, stand behind.  And You, My beloved Mother, here, beside Me.
 
A little while ago I said to you:  "the eternal beauty of the soul of My Mother."  I am the Word, and thus I can make use of words without erring.  I said:  eternal, not immortal.  And I deliberately said to.  He is immortal who, after being born, does not die.  Thus the souls of the just are immortal in Heaven, the souls of sinners are immortal in Hell, because a soul, once it has been created, does not die but to grace.  But a soul has life, it exists from that moment that God thinks it.  It is in the Thought of God that creates it.  The soul of My Mother was thought by God from everlasting.  It is therefore eternal in its beauty, in which God poured every perfection to receive delight and comfort from it.
 
It is written in the Book of our ancestor Solomon, who foresaw You, and can thus be called Your prophet:  "God possessed me from the beginning of His works, from the very beginning, before Creation.  From everlasting I was firmly set, from the beginning before the Earth came into being.  The deep was not yet, and I was conceived.  There were no springs to gush with water, the mountains were not yet settled on their hug mass, and I already was.  Before the hills I came to birth.  He ha not yet made the Earth, the rivers, or the poles of the world, and I already existed.  When He prepared the sky and Heaven I was present.  When with inviolable law He closed the abyss under the vault, when He fixed firm the celestial vault and He suspended there the sources of water, when he assigned the sea  its boundaries and He ordered the water not to pass its limit, when He laid down the foundations of the earth, I was by His side arranging everything.  I was always joyfully at play in His presence.  I played in the universe."
 
Yes, Mother, with Whom God, Immense, Sublime, Virgin, Uncreated, was pregnant and carried You like a most sweet burden, rejoicing at feeling You stir within Him, when with Your smiles he created the Universe!  He laboriously gave birth to You to give you to the world, most gentle soul, born of the Deity to be the "Virgin," the Perfection of Creation, the Light of Paradise, the Advice of God, Who looking at You forgave Sin, because You alone, by Yourself can love as all Mankind put together cannot love.  In You is the Forgiveness of God!  You are the Treatment of God, You are the caress of the Eternal Father on the wound that man inflicted on God!  In You is the Salvation of the world, Mother of the Love Incarnate and of the granted Redeemer!  The soul of My Mother!  Merged in Love with My Father, I looked at You within Me, O soul of My Mother!...   And Your splendor, Your prayer, the idea of being carried by You comforted Me forever and ever for My destiny of sorrow and inhuman experience of what the corrupted world is for the most Perfect God.  Thank You, Mother!  When I came I was already full of Your consolation, I descended perceiving You alone, Your perfume, Your song, Your love...Joy, My joy!
 
Now that you know that one only is the Woman in Whom there is no stain, that one only Human Being costs the Redeemer no injury, listen to the second transfiguration of Mary, the Elect Daughter of God.
 
It was a clear afternoon in the month of Adar and the trees were in bloom in the silent kitchen garden, and Mary, Joseph's bride, had picked a flowery branch to replace the one that was in Her room.  Mary, taken from the Temple to adorn a house of saints, had recently come to Nazareth.  And with Her soul divided among Temple, house and Heaven, She was looking at the flowery branch, considering that by means of a similar branch, which had bloomed in an unusual manner, a branch cut off in this garden in the depth of winter and had bloomed as if it were springtime before the Ark of the Lord - perhaps the Sun-God beaming in His Glory had warmed it - God had revealed His will to Her...  And She was thinking also that on the day of their wedding Joseph had brought Her other flowers, but never like the first one on the thin petals of which It was written:  "I want You united to Joseph"...  She was thinking of many thing...  And while thinking She ascended to God.  Her hands ere busy with distaff and spindle and were spinning a yarn that was thinner than the hair of Her young Head...
 
Her soul was weaving a carpet of love, moving quickly, like a shuttle on a loom, from the earth to Heaven.  From the needs of the house, of Joseph, to those of the soul, of God.  And She sang and prayed.  And the carpet was forming on the mystical loom, it rolled off from the earth to Heaven, it ascended to get lost up there...  Formed with what?  With the thin, perfect strong threads of Her virtues, with the flying thread of the shuttle, which She thought was "Hers," whereas it was God's:  the shuttle of the Will of God, on which was rolled the will of the little, great Virgin of Israel, Unknown to the World, Known to God, rolled and made one with the Will of the Lord.  And the carpet was adorned with the flowers of love, of purity, with palms of peace and palms of glory, with sweet-smelling violets, with jasmines...  Every virtue flowered on the carpet of love, which the Virgin of God unrolled invitingly from the earth to Heaven.  And as the carpet was not sufficient She thrust Her heart singing:  "let My Beloved come into His garden and eat the fruit of His trees...  Let My Beloved come down to His garden, to the bed of spices, to pasture in the gardens and gather lilies.  I am My Beloved's and My Beloved is Mine.  He pastures among the lilies!"  And from infinite distance, among torrents of Light, a Voice came that human ear cannot hear and human throat cannot utter.  And it said:  "How beautiful You are, My love!  How beautiful You are!... Your lips distil wild honey...  You are a garden enclosed, a sealed fountain, My sister, My promised bride..."  and the two voices joined together to sing the eternal truth:  "Love is stronger than death.  Nothing can quench or drown 'our" love."  And the Virgin was thus transfigured when Gabriel descended and called Her back t the Earth, with his ardor, and joined Her soul to Her body again, so that She might hear and understand the request of Him, Who had called Her "Sister" but wanted Her to be His "Bride."
 
And the Mystery took place there...  And a modest woman, the most modest of all women, Who was not even aware of the instinctive incentive of the flesh, fainted before the Angel of God, because even an angel upsets the humbleness and modesty of the Virgin, and only when She heard him speak She calmed down, and She believed, and She said the word, whereby "their" love became Flesh and will defeat Death and no flood will be able to quench it or wickedness to submerge it..."
 
Jesus bends gently over Mary Who has slid to His feet, almost ecstatically, in the recollection of the remote hour; shining with a special light, which seems to issue from Her soul, and He asks Her in a low voice:  "Which was our reply, Most Pure Mother, to him who assured You that by becoming Mother of God, You would not Lose Your perfect Virginity?"
 
And Mary, almost in a dream, slowly, smiling, Her eyes shining with joyful tears:  "I am the handmaid of the Lord!  Let It be done to Me according to your Word" and She reclines Her head on the knew of Her Son, adoring Him.
 
Jesus covers Her with His mantle, concealing Her from everybody's eyes and He says:  "And it was done.  All will be done until the end.  Until Her net transfiguration and the one after that.  She will always be the "Handmaid of God." She will always act according to what "the Word" says.  My Mother!  That is My Mother.  And you ought to begin to become fully acquainted with Her holy Figure...  Mother!  Mother!  Raise Your face, My Beloved...  Call Your devout admirers back to the Earth, where we are for the time being..."  He says uncovering Mary after a little which, during which no nose was heard except the humming of bees and the gurgling of the little fountain.
 
Mary raised Her face wet with tears and whispers:  "Why did You do that to Me, Son?  The secrets of the King are sacred..."
 
"But the King can reveal them whenever He wishes.  Mother, I did it, so that the words of the Prophet may be understood:  "A Woman will enclose the Man in Herself," and the words of the other Prophet:  "The Virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son/"  And also that My disciples, who are struck with horror at too many things that they consider degrading for the Word of God, may have, as counterbalance, many other things confirming them in the joy of being "Mine."  Thus they will no longer be scandalized and will conquer Heaven..."
 



In the Volumes Jesus repeats this refrain of how Mary called God down to the Earth.



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.
Vol. 17, May 1, 1925



 
And again in the Volumes he expounds on the supremacy of our Queen and Lady and Mother.
 
 
 

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




Our Heavenly Mother is the Queen of all and possess the fullness of all grace, beauty and virtue but she is not just the Mother of all of us she is even the Mother of all and each of our acts.  Jesus says that this is one of the greatest graces ever given to man but so many refuse her Maternity and making all that she would want to give futile.




“Now, you must know that as my inseparable Mama extended her maternity inside and outside of my humanity, thus I constituted her and confirmed her Mother of every single thought of the creature, of every breath, of every heartbeat, of every word, and I made her maternity extend in the works, in the steps, in all their sufferings.  Her maternity races everywhere; in the perils of falling into sin, she races, covers them with her maternity, so that they don’t fall, and if they have fallen, she leaves her maternity as help and defense in order to have them rise again; her maternity races and extends itself over the souls that want to be good and holy as if she might find her Jesus in them, she does as Mother to their intelligence, she guides their words, covers and hides them in her maternal love in order to raise so many other Jesus’s.  Her maternity makes (a) display over the beds of the dying, and making use of the rights of authority of Mother from me she gives (to) them, she says to me with (an) accent so tender that I can not deny her:  ‘My Son, I am Mother, and they are my children, I must put them into safety, if you don’t concede this to me my maternity goes (swept) under/(is undermined) by it’; and while she says this, she covers them with her love, hides them in her maternity in order to put them into safety.
            “My love was so much that I said to her:  ‘My mother, I want that you be the Mother of everyone, and that which you have done for me you will do to all creatures; let your maternity be extended in all their acts, in a way that all I will see is covered and hidden in your maternal love.’  My Mama accepted and remained confirmed that not only should she be Mother of everyone, but to invest every act of theirs with her maternal love.  This was one of greatest graces that I did to all the human generations, but how many sorrows doesn’t my Mama receive?  They arrive to not want to receive her maternity, to refuse to acknowledge her...

The second Virgin

Although all have prayed the Our Father in the past that it "Your Will be done", however Jesus makes it very clear that it is truly calling for the creature to not only do the Divine Will but to live in it.




Then, I was thinking to myself: ‘In the ‘Our Father’, Our Lord teaches us to say - to pray: “Your Will be done”. Now, why does He say that He wants us to live in It?’ And Jesus, always benign, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, ‘your Will be done’ which I taught in the ‘Our Father’meant that all were to pray that they might at least do the Will of God. And this is for all Christians and for all times; nor can anyone call himself a Christian if he does not dispose himself to do the Will of his Celestial Father. But you have not thought of the other addition which comes immediately after: ‘On earth as It is in Heaven’. ‘On earth as It is in Heaven’ means to live in the Divine Will; it means to pray that the Kingdom of my Will may come on earth in order to live in It. In Heaven, they not only do my Will, but they live in It – they possess It as their own thing, and as their own Kingdom. And if they did It, but did not possess It, their happiness would not be full, because true happiness begins in the depth of the soul. To do the Will of God does not mean to possess It, but to submit oneself to Its commands, while to live in It is possession. Therefore, in the ‘Our Father’, in the words ‘your Will be done’ is the prayer that all may do the Supreme Will, and in ‘on earth as It is in Heaven’, that man may return into that Will from which he came, in order to reacquire his happiness, the lost goods, and the possession of his Divine Kingdom.”
Vol. 20, Oct. 15, 1926


All Christians pray for the Kingdom to come and in doing so have brought Jesus to the point to call Lusia who through the Divine Will is the one who knocks on the doors Heaven so strongly and thus forces them open to call God to bring about this Kingdom and the manifest truths are the assurances that it comes.




God is order, and when He wants to give a good He establishes the divine order in the midst of creatures. How Our Lord, in forming the ‘Our Father’, placed Himself at the head of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat.


I continue what is written above. As I was concerned about all that regards the Kingdom of the Will of God, my always lovable Jesus added:

           “My daughter, God is order, and when He wants to give a good to the creatures, He always establishes His divine order, and everything that is done in order to obtain such a great good begins from God, since He places Himself at the head of it to take on the commitment, and then orders the creature for the same purpose. I did this, Myself, to give the Redemption, and so that creatures might receive It; and I am doing this, Myself, to give the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, and so that creatures may receive It. By forming, Myself, the ‘Our Father’, I placed Myself at the head of it and took on the commitment to give this Kingdom; and by teaching it to my apostles, I placed order in the creatures, so that they might obtain a good so great. So, the whole Church is praying - there is not one soul who belongs to Her that does not recite the‘Our Father’. And even though many recite it without interest in wanting and asking for a Kingdom so holy – that the Divine Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven – since the interest is in the One who taught it, when they recite it my interest is renewed, and I hear my own prayer asking: ‘May your Kingdom come, so that your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’. And if the creature, in reciting the ‘Our Father’, had this interest of wanting and longing for my Kingdom, she would take part in my own interest, and her will would be fused in Mine for the same purpose. However, my Will and interest always run in each‘Our Father’.
           See then, the divine order: all asking for one thing. Among these who ask there are some who want to do my Will, others who do It. All this is braided together, and they knock at the doors of my Divine Will - they repeat the knocking, and some knock strongly, some slowly. However, there is always someone who knocks and asks that the doors be opened, so that my Will may descend to reign upon earth. And since everything is established and ordered by the Divinity, It waits for the one who must give the strongest knock which, forcing the doors with invincible strength – the very strength of my Divine Will – will open wide the doors, and with her sweet chains of love, will bind the Eternal Will to make It come and reign in the midst of creatures. She will be like a bride who, bejeweling the groom with her loving chains, will carry him as though in triumph into the midst of creatures. And just as the Holy Virgin put an end to the night hours of the patriarchs and prophets, and formed the dawn to make the Sun of the Eternal Word rise, so will this one form the dawn to make rise the Sun of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.
           Do you think that my Will, which has made Itself known with so much love and has manifested so much interest in wanting to come and reign upon earth, pouring Its sorrow out with you, has done this without anyone praying to It? Ah, no! no! The knocks of my Church have been continuous, and I Myself was knocking in those knocks, but I used them to knock at the door of the Divine Fiat which, tired of hearing them knock at Its divine doors, has used you to be knocked more strongly; and opening the door to you, It made you share in Its knowledges. For as many truths as It made known to you, so many means has It given you to form the loving chains with which to be bound to come to reign upon earth. And all the times It calls you to live in Its Divine Will, making you know Its qualities, Its power, Its joys, Its immense riches, are as many pledges It gives you, with which It assures you of Its coming upon earth. In fact, there is this prerogative in Us: if We make a good of Ours, a truth, a knowledge that belongs to Us known, it is because We want to give it to the creature as gift. See then, how many gifts my Will has given you; how many knowledges about Itself It has made known to you! They are such and so many, that you yourself cannot count them.”
           And I: ‘My beloved Jesus, who knows when this Kingdom will come!’ And He: “My daughter, in order for Redemption to come, it took four thousand years, because the people that prayed and longed for the future Redeemer was smaller, of limited number. But those which belong to my Church are more peoples and - oh, how much greater in number than that one! Therefore, the number will shorten the time; more so, since religion is making its way everywhere, and this is nothing but the preparation of the Kingdom of my Divine Will.”
Vol. 24, May 26, 1928


The fruits of the Redemption are now available to any who wants it but at first it began with one creature, the Virgin Mary, so too is it with Sanctification.  There is one creature who must open the way to all the others, securing in herself all the goods that God wants to give to man.  Back in the post titled The Three Daily Breads I cited where Jesus spoke in Vol. 15 to Luisa.  In this reading about the fulfillment of the Our Father Jesus finished his lesson of that day with this:



Do you not want, then, that my Will descend upon earth? But just as Redemption had Its beginning in a Virgin - as I was not conceived in all men in order to redeem them, even though whoever wants it, can enter the good of Redemption and each one can receive Me in the Sacrament for himself alone – in the same way, now my Will must have Its beginning, possession, growth and development in one virgin creature. And then, whoever disposes himself and wants it, will enter the goods which the living in my Will contains. Had I not been conceived in my beloved Mama, Redemption would never have come. In the same way, if I do not operate the prodigy of making one soul live in my Supreme Will, the ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven,’ will not take place in the human generations.”

Vol. 15, May 2, 1923


Jesus states that as he began the epoch of Redemption with the Virgin Mary and her Fiat Mihi secundum verbum tuum (let it be done to me according to your word), so in this final epoch of Sanctification he makes use of another Virgin, Luisa, to be the depository of the fullness of the work.



On hearing this, I thought to myself: ‘If these knowledges contain so much good, if blessed Jesus continues after my death with more knowledges on His Fiat to other souls, will a work so great not be attributed to that work?’ And Jesus, moving as though hurriedly in my interior, added: “No, no, my daughter. Just as of father Di Francia it will be said that he has been the first propagator, and your confessors have been cooperators, so it will be said that the little daughter of my Will has been the first and the depository of a good so great, to whom it was entrusted and who was chosen with a special mission. Suppose that someone has made an important invention; it might be that others propagate it, diffuse it more, imitate it, expand it; but no one will be able to say: ‘I am the inventor of this work.’ It will always be said: ‘The inventor was such-and-such.’ The same will be with you. It will be said that the origin of the Kingdom of my Fiat, the depository, was the little daughter of my Will.”
Vol. 23, Feb. 28, 1928




Luisa's role in the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat is unique and he centralizes the fullness of this living in her.  He clearly states here that she is the second Virgin in his designs over mankind.



           Now, in order to dispose souls to live in my Will, to let them partake in the goods It contains, and to make man return to the path of his origin, just as he was created by Me, I Myself wanted to pray as the first, making my voice resound from one end of the earth to another, and even up high in Heaven, saying: ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven’.I did not say ‘My Father’, but I called Him Father of the whole human family, so as to engage Him in that which I was going to add: ‘May all hallow your Name, so that your Kingdom may come, and your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’. This was the purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled. Because I Myself prayed, the Father surrendered to my supplications, and I formed the seed of a good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught my prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church prays and repeats my very prayer many times, and disposes Herself to receive that creatures would recognize and love my Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the great good that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.
          In this seed and in this hope that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, the very Saints have formed their sanctity, the martyrs have shed their blood. There is no good which does not derive from this seed. So, the whole Church prays; and just as the tears, the penances, the prayers to obtain the Messiah were directed toward that excelling Virgin whom I was to dispose in order to centralize such a great good in Her, so that they might receive their Savior, even though they did not know whom She would be – in the same way, now, when the Church recites the ‘Our Father’, it is precisely for you that She prays, so that I may centralize in you all the good that my Will contains, the ‘way’ - the ‘how’ the Divine Will may have life on earth as It does in Heaven. And even though you are not known, by echoing my prayer - ‘Thy Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’ - the Church prays Me, presses Me to centralize all this good in a second virgin, so that, like a second savior, she may save the endangered humanity; and making use of my inseparable love and mercy, I may answer my own prayer, united to that of the whole Church, making man come back to his origin, to the purpose for which I created him – that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. This is precisely the living in my Will; and everything I keep manifesting to you pushes you to this, confirms you in this. This is the great foundation I keep forming in your soul; and in order to do this, I keep centralizing in you all the graces, past, present and future, which I have given to all generations. Even more, I double them, I multiply them, because since my Will is the greatest, the holiest, the noblest thing, which has no beginning and no end, in order to place It in one creature, it is right and decorous that I centralize in her all possible goods, innumerable graces, divine purity and nobility, so that this Will of Mine may have the same cortege as It has in Heaven. It is the same Will that operated in Redemption, and wanted to make use of a Virgin. What portents and prodigies of graces did It not work in Her? My Will is great, It contains all goods, and in operating, It acts with magnanimity; and if it is about doing works and doing good for all humanity, then It puts all of Its goods at stake.
          Now It wants to make use of another virgin in order to centralize Its Will in her, and give rise to making know that Its Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. And if in Redemption It wanted to come to save the lost man, to satisfy for his sins - which man had no power to do - and to give him refuge and many other goods which Redemption contains, now, wanting to display even more love than in Redemption Itself by making it so that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, It comes to give man his state of origin, his nobility, the purpose for which he was created. It comes to open the current between Its Will and the human will, in such a way that, absorbed by this Divine Will, dominated by It, the human will will give It life within itself, and my Will will reign on earth as It does in Heaven.”
Vol. 15, April 14, 1923


Lusia was called to do that which was necessary on the part of creatures to call the Kingdom of the Divine Will down on earth as we pray in the Our Father.  Here Jesus tells us exactly that which she must do with Him to accomplish this, repairing for all, supplying for all and making all cry out in one voice for the Kingdom to come.



“Good daughter, if you might know what void is formed in the act of the creature, when it is not filled with all my Will, so that in that act (there) lacks the fullness of sanctity, (there) lacks the infinite; and since there lacks the infinite, one sees an abyss of void that only the infinite could fill, because the creature with all her acts has been made for the infinite, and when my Will races in her acts he puts there the infinite, and one sees her act full of light, because [my Will] holds it in his womb of light, and he renders the act complete with the infinite inside.  Instead when my Will doesn’t enter [in] the act of the creature as life, beginning, means and end, the act is empty and no one can fill the abyss of that void, and if there is sin one sees in that act an abyss of darkness and miseries as to make one shudder.
“Now my daughter, how many of these acts there are in the length of the centuries, void of the infinite.  The infinite [is] rejected by the human act.  My Divine Will holds right over every act of the creature and in order to come to reign he wants one who lives in Him, who might go retracing all these empty acts in order to pray him, to press him that he might put the infinite in every act, so that [the Divine Will] might recognize in every single act his act in order to make that his dominion might be complete.  And although these acts might be past, there is always, for one who lives in my Will, as to be able to do and to repair, because in him there is the power to be able to repair and to re-do all, provided that he finds a creature that lends herself.  More so are that they are acts of the creature without my Will, another (who is) united with my Will is able to repair, (and) order everything.
“Behold therefore, my daughter, I have said other times and I repeat it:  we do all that which is needed in order to make the Divine Will known and to make him reign.  There must lack nothing on our part:  prayer, sacrifice of life itself, to take all the acts of the creature as in hand in order to call her to put forth of hers, so that it is mine and your ‘I love you’, mine and your prayer that cries out:  ‘We want the Divine Will.’  So that all the Creation and all the acts will be as all covered with Divine Will, and He will feel called by every act of creature, from all points, from every created thing, because you and I have already made the call, wanting to also put forth the sacrifice of life, in every thing and in every act, so that he might come to reign.  This will be power before the throne of God, magnetic strength, irresistible magnet, that all acts cry out that they want the Divine Will ruling in the midst of creatures.  But who is it that cries out?  I and the little daughter of my Volition.  Hence as enraptured he will descend to reign.
“Behold therefore the turns and returns in the Creation, in my acts themselves, in those of the Celestial Mama, in order to employ our same divine acts for a kingdom so holy, and in those of creatures in order to copy them and to put there that which can lack; but all must have one single voice, whether directly or indirectly through means of one who wants to make the sacrifice of making herself supplier and repairer, in order to obtain that he comes to reign in the midst of the generations.  Hence that which I make you do and what I do together with you are necessary acts, preparations, formations, substances, capitals that are needed.  When we have done everything on my part and on your part, in a way that nothing should be lacking, as to be able to say:  ‘We have done everything, there doesn’t remain other for us to do’, as I said in the Redemption:  ‘I have (done) everything in order to redeem man, my love doesn’t know what else to invent in order put him in safety‘, and I departed for heaven awaiting that [man] might take the good that with the sacrifice of my life I had formed and given.  Thus when nothing other remains to be done (for) the Kingdom of my Will upon the earth you also can come in heaven, awaiting from (within) the Celestial Country that creatures take the substances, the capital, the kingdom that will be already formed of the Supreme Fiat.  Therefore I always say to you:  ‘Be attentive.’  Do not omit anything, when one can not do other, we do our part; the rest, the circumstances, the events, the things, the diversity of persons will do the rest; and since [this kingdom] is already formed, it will go forth by itself and will go ahead in its reign.  One thing is needed:  more sacrifice to form it, that going forth it is done soon.  But in order to form it there is needed one who puts forth one’s own life and the sacrifice of a will sacrificed with continuous acts in mine.”
Vol. 30,  Feb. 16, 1932


So Luisa now awaits from within the Celestial Country that we should take all the goods of the Kingdom which she and Jesus have prepared for us the only question that remains is how much we will avail ourselves of it all.

Reason we must pray for the Kingdom

 The promise in the Our Father for the coming of the Kingdom is a certainty.  Jesus had said that in the Creation he did everything with out anyone praying for or interceding to him for it, however this was not the case in the Redemption and in this last epoch of the Kingdom or Sanctification.  In the Redemption the Jewish people prayed for the coming Redeemer but it wasn't until Mary's acts done in the Divine Will where the greatest effect to move the hand of God came to pass which also secured the coming of the Kingdom as well.



The same happened in Redemption. Sin was flooding the earth; the very people called the people of God, was the smallest people, and if it seemed that it occupied itself with it, it was in a superficial way. In fact, they did not possess within themselves the life of that Redeemer whom they were asking for. It can be said that they occupied themselves just like, today, the Church, consecrated people and religious, occupy themselves by reciting the Our Father. But the fullness of the Life of my Will which they ask for in the Our Father is not in them, therefore their petition ends up in words, but not in facts. But when the Queen of Heaven came, who possessed the fullness of the Divine Life, everything She asked for for the good of the peoples moved God, conquered Him, made Him decide; and in spite of the evils which were present, the Eternal Word came upon earth by means of She who already possessed Him, as He formed the whole of Her life. With the fullness of this Divine Life, She was able to move God, and so came the good of Redemption. That which all others together were not able to obtain, She obtained – the Sovereign Queen, who had conquered, first within herself, Her Creator and the fullness of all the goods which She was asking for for others; and, being the conqueror, She had the virtue of being able to impetrate and give the good which She possessed.
Vol. 23, Nov. 27, 1927




          “Now, this Holy Virgin held her humanity, in which bound the whole human family, almost as members to the body; and we, for her love, watching in her the whole of mankind, as she was conceived we gave the first kiss of peace to all humanity and we constituted her heir of our divine heiress, despite some ungrateful one (that) might not want to receive her.
          “Now you see, therefore, how it is certain that the Kingdom of our Will must come upon the earth, now that one exists who inherited him, and having a creature (who) inherited him who belongs to the human race, all creatures acquired the right to be able to possess him.
          “This Celestial Sovereign (Lady), taken by love, formed a pledge of herself in our creative hands, in order to have that everyone might receive this Kingdom, and since this pledge possessed the life of my Will, it contained an infinite value, that for everyone she could pledge herself.  What (a) sweet and dear pledge was this holy creature in our hands!  She, by making her life, her acts flow in our Divine Volition, formed divine coins in order to be able to pay us for those that should inherit our Divine FiatThen my humanity came, united to the Eternal Word, that with my life, sufferings, and death I disbursed the sufficient price in order to repurchase this our Divine Will, and give him to creatures as (an) inheritance that belonged to them.
         “One act, one breath, one motion in my Will contains such value, that it can buy heaven and earth, and all that which one wants. Hence, let him alone be your life and your everything.”
Vol. 35, Oct. 25, 1927



So with all of the acts of  Jesus and Mary to secure the Kingdom for all mankind why do we need to pray for it to come?




The Divine Being is balanced. The gift of the Divine Fiat places everything in common. In giving, Justice wants to find the prop of the acts of creatures.
 
 
After doing my usual round in the Supreme Volition, I was praying to good Jesus in the name of His Creation and Redemption, in the name of all, from the first to the last man, in the name of the Sovereign Queen and of everything She did and suffered, that the Supreme Fiat may be known, so that Its Kingdom may be established with Its full triumph and dominion. But while doing this, I thought to myself: ‘If Jesus Himself wants and loves so much that His Kingdom be established in the midst of creatures, why does He want one to pray for It with such insistence? If He wants It, He can give It without so many continuous acts.’ And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:
“My daughter, my Supreme Being possesses the perfect balance, and also in giving my graces and my gifts to creatures; much more so, then, for this Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, which is the greatest gift, that I had already given at the beginning of Creation, and which man rejected with so much ingratitude. Does it seem trivial to you to place a Divine Will at his disposal, with all the goods It contains? And not for one hour, or one day, but for his whole life? The Creator placing His adorable Will in the creature to be able to put His likeness, His beauty, His infinite seas of riches, of joys, of endless happiness, in common? Only by possessing Our Will could the creature acquire the rights of communion, of likeness and of all the goods of his Creator. Without It there can be no communion with Us; and if he takes anything at all, it is just Our flowerings and the crumbs of Our endless goods.
“Now, with a gift so great, a happiness so immense, a right of divine likeness with the acquisition of the nobility of Our offspring which had been rejected, do you think it is something easy that the Divine Sovereignty, without being prayed, with no one giving a thought to receiving this Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, would give It to creatures? It would be like repeating the story that took place in the terrestrial Eden, and maybe even worse. And besides, Our Justice would be justly opposed to this. Therefore, everything I have you do, the continuous rounds in the Supreme Volition, your incessant prayers for my Will to come to reign, your sacrificed life of so many years, knowing neither heaven nor earth, directed to the sole purpose of the coming of my Kingdom – are many props that I place before my Justice, that It may surrender Its rights, and balancing Itself with all Our attributes, It may find it just for the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat to be given back to the human generations. The same happened in Redemption; if Our Justice had not found the prayers, the sighs, the tears, the penances of the patriarchs, of the prophets and of all the good of the Old Testament, and then a Virgin Queen who possessed Our Will as whole, and who took everything to heart with so many insistent prayers, taking upon Herself the whole task of the satisfaction for all mankind, Our Justice would never have conceded the descent of the longed for Redeemer into the midst of creatures. It would have been inexorable and would have uttered a curt ‘no’ to my coming upon earth. And when it is about preserving the balance of Our Supreme Being, nothing can be done. 
“Now, who until now has ever prayed with interest, with insistence, laying down the sacrifice of his own life so that the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat may come upon earth, and may triumph and dominate? No one. It is true that the Church has been reciting the ‘Our Father’ from the time I came upon earth, in which one asks, ‘Thy Kingdom come’, so that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, but who thinks about the request they make? It can be said that the whole importance of such a request remained in my Will and that creatures recite it just to recite it, without understanding and without any interest in obtaining what they ask for. Therefore, my daughter, everything is hidden in secret while one lives on earth, and therefore everything seems a mystery; and if anything is known it is so limited, that man has always something to say about all that I operate in my works through the veils of creatures. They reach the point of saying: ‘And why have this good and these knowledges not been given before, while there have been so many great Saints?’ But in eternity there will be no secrets, I will reveal everything, and will show all things and my works with Justice, and how Justice could never have given, had there not been sufficient acts in the creature to be able to give what the Supreme Majesty wants to give. It is true that everything that the creature does is my grace, but my grace itself wants to find the prop of the dispositions and good will of the creature. Therefore, in order to restore the Kingdom of my Will upon earth it takes sufficient acts of the creature, so that my Kingdom may not remain in the air, but may descend, to be formed upon the very acts of the creature formed by her to obtain a good so great.
“This is why I push you so much to go around in all Our works – Creation and Redemption – so that you may place the share of your acts, your ‘I love You’,your adoration, your gratitude, your ‘thank You’ upon all Our works. Many times I have done this together with you; and then, as the fulfillment, after your round in Our Will comes your refrain, so pleasing to Us: ‘Supreme Majesty, your little daughter comes before You, on your paternal knees, to ask You for your Fiat, your Kingdom, that It be known by all. I ask You for the triumph of your Will, that It may dominate and reign over all. I am not the only one who asks this of You, but with me are your works and your very Will. Therefore, in the name of all, I ask – I plead for your Fiat.’ If you knew what a breach in Our Supreme Being is this refrain of yours! We feel We are being prayed by all Our works, beseeched by Our very Will; Heaven and earth pray on their knees to ask Us for the Kingdom of the Eternal Will. Therefore, if you want It, continue your acts, so that, by reaching the established number, you may obtain what you long for with so much insistence.”
Vol. 19, Sept. 13, 1926



God is balanced in all of his attributes and in mankind initially rejecting the Kingdom of the Divine Will there now must be a response from man in order to receive it again.  More so that God does not want to see a repeated fall as occurred in Eden.  Just as in the Redemption where the whole Jewish nation prayed for the coming Redeemer but without results until the Virgin, doing eternal acts in the Divine Will, came and completed the necessary corresponding acts on behalf of man to move God to act so it is now with this third epoch of Sanctification in the coming of the Kingdom.  There is a concrete number of acts required on behalf of mankind and because the Kingdom is to reign in each individual, each must be disposed to come to know and long for the Kingdom so that it might not be rejected again but treasured and safeguarded. 




Now, before my coming upon earth, even though my Divine Will was present in the midst of creatures with Its immensity, the relationships that existed between It and them, however, were as if It lived in a foreign land, and they received from afar the scarce communications, the brief news, which announced to them my coming upon earth. What sorrow, for It to be in their midst, while they do not recognize It, and they keep It so far away from their wills, as if It were in a foreign land. With my coming, since I possessed It as life and my Humanity recognized It, loved It and let It reign, through Me It drew closer to the creatures, and the relationships It had with them were as if It lived no longer in a foreign land, but in their own lands. But since they did not know It, nor did they give It dominion in order to let It reign, it cannot be said that my Divine Volition formed Its Kingdom. Therefore, my coming upon earth served to draw the two wills, human and Divine, closer to each other, and to place them in intimate relations, and to increase the news in order to make It known; so much so, that I taught the ‘Our Father’, making them say: ‘Your Kingdom come, your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.’ If my Will does not live on earth as It does in Heaven, it cannot be said that It has Its Kingdom in the midst of creatures. And therefore, in the time of Its Kingdom, It will be present not only in their midst, but inside each one of them as perennial Life; and in order to come to this, It must be recognized – how It is like head and primary life of each creature; and because this head is not recognized, Its Strength, Its Sanctity, Its Beauty, does not flow to the members, nor can It let Its noble and divine blood flow in their veins, and therefore the life of Heaven cannot be seen in creatures. So, this is why I love so much that my Divine Will be known – knowledge will make love arise; and feeling loved and longed for, It will feel drawn to come to reign in the midst of creatures.”
Vol. 26, July 24, 1929


 Acts done outside of the Divine Will can never move a God who being Divine is eternal. Eternal acts are required.   It is these knowledges that Jesus is giving to us in this our age that open the door to us to do these eternal acts which will call down the Kingdom both upon the earth and within the earth of our beings.

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.”
Vol. 29, May 19, 1931

Happy New Year.
