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.
“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:
“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.”
