Since the world is focused on pandemics at this time I started to look through the Volumes for what was said about these type of world diseases. He pointedly states that these are chastisements due to the too many offenses from mankind.
As I was in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen
all embittered and afflicted, and He told me: “My daughter, my Justice
has grown too heavy, and the offenses I receive from men are so many that I can
no longer sustain them. So, the scythe of death is about to harvest much
- suddenly and by means of diseases. The chastisements I will pour upon
the world are so many, that they will be a sort of judgment.” Who can say
the so many chastisements He showed me, and how terrified and frightened I was
left? The pain that my soul feels is so great, that I believe it is
better to keep silent.
But I continue, because
obedience wants it so. I seemed to see streets filled with human flesh,
and blood inundating the ground, and cities besieged by enemies who spared not
even children. They seemed to be like many furies come out of hell; they
respected neither churches nor priests. The Lord seemed to send a
chastisement from Heaven - what it is I don’t know; it just seemed to me that
we will all receive a mortal blow, and some will be victims of death, others
will recover. I also seemed to see plants withered, and many other
troubles which are to come over the harvests. Oh God, what pain to see
these things, and to be forced to manifest them! Ah, Lord, placate
Yourself! I hope that your Blood and your wounds will be our
remedy. Or rather, pour the chastisements upon this sinner, for I deserve
them; or otherwise take me, and then You will be free to do whatever You want;
but as long as I live, I will do everything I can to oppose it.
Vol. 2, March 10, 1899His Justice demands the reparation and must find it's compensation for all the sins of men.
He made me see a
multitude of people, who were committing every kind of evil. Indignant
with them, Jesus would make different kinds of contagious diseases swoop down
into their midst, and many would die black as charcoal. It seemed that
Jesus would exterminate that multitude of people from the face of the
earth. While seeing this, I prayed Jesus to pour His bitternesses into
me, so as to spare the people, but He would not pay attention to me in this
either....“My daughter, it
is my Justice that wants to pour Itself out over the creatures. The
number of sins in men is almost complete, and Justice wants to come out, to
make pomp of Its fury, and to find reparation for the injustices of men.
Look - to show you how embittered I am and to content you a little bit, I want
to pour only my breath into you.” And so, drawing His lips near mine, He
sent me His breath, which was so bitter that I felt my mouth, my heart and my
whole person being intoxicated. If His mere breath was so bitter, what
must be the rest of Jesus? He left me with such pain, that I felt my
heart pierced through.
I went about looking at
my sweet and only Good, and I saw that He was holding two lightnings in His
hands: in one hand, as though equipped, He had a strong earthquake and a
war; in the other, many kinds of sudden deaths and contagious diseases. I
began to pray Him to pour those lightnings upon me, and I almost wanted to
remove them from His hands, but to prevent me from doing this, He began to move
away from me. I tried to follow Him, and so I found myself outside of
myself, but Jesus disappeared from me and I remained alone.
Now, finding myself
alone, I went round a little, and I found myself in a place where, in this
season, they harvest. It seemed that uproars of war were happening there,
and I wanted to go to help those poor people, but the demons prevented me from
going there where such things were about to happen, and they beat me so that I
would not be able to help or to prevent their artifices. They used so
much strength as to make me draw back.
Vol.3, November 17, 1899
What she saw at that point which so horrified her was only the beginning of what was being prepared.
...my daughter, the chastisements I am sending are
still nothing compared to those which have been prepared. Therefore, do
not want to afflict yourself with these, because they are not a matter of great
affliction.”
As He was saying this, in front of me I saw many people affected by
contagious diseases, who were dying; so, taken by horror, I said to Him:
‘Ah! Lord, that’s all we need! What are You doing? What are You
doing? If You want to do this, take me away from this earth, for my heart
cannot bear the sight of scenes so gloomy. Vol. 3, July 3, 1900
This will come to the point where it is no longer reparation or chastisement for sins to turn man back to God but these scourges will be used to stop Man's rebellion by destroying him. Utter destruction.
As I was in my usual
state, I seemed to see the Most Holy Trinity, as if They wanted to resolve what
They should do with the world, and I was in Their midst. It seemed that
They were saying: “If most fierce scourges are not sent to the world,
everything is over for it concerning religion, and they will become worse than
barbarians themselves.” And while They were saying this, it seemed that
wars of every kind, earthquakes destroying entire cities and diseases were
coming down upon earth. On seeing this, all trembling, I said:
‘Supreme Majesty, forgive the human ingratitude; now more than ever the heart
of man has rebelled, but if man sees himself being mortified he will rebel even
more, adding outrages upon outrages against your Majesty.’ And a voice
coming from Their midst said: “Man can rebel when he is merely mortified,
but when he is destroyed his rebellion ceases. Here We speak not of mortification,
but of destruction.”
Vol. 4, December 30, 1902
Continuing in my usual
state, I just barely saw blessed Jesus and many purging souls, whom Jesus
Christ was sending to the help of the peoples. It seemed that many
disgraces of contagious diseases were to happen to the peoples, and earthquakes
in some places. Some were killing themselves, some were throwing
themselves into wells or into the sea, and some were killing others. It
seems that man is tired of himself, because without God he does not feel the
strength to continue living. Oh, God, how many chastisements, and how
many thousands of people will be victims of these scourges!
Vol. 7, March 9, 1906
Then, around nighttime, Jesus came back with the Queen Mama, calling me by name, as if they wanted me to pay
attention. How beautiful it was to see Mama and Jesus speaking to each
other. The Celestial Mama was saying:
“My Son, what are You doing? What You want to do is
too much. I have the rights of Mother, and I grieve that my
children have to suffer so much. You want to open
Heaven to scourges, and destroy creatures and
the food that will serve to nourish them; with
infectious diseases You want to
inundate them. What shall they do? You say
that You love this daughter of mine - how much will she suffer if You do
this. So as not to embitter her, You will not do it.”
And She pulled Him toward
Me; but Jesus, determined, answered:
“I cannot. I divert
many evils because of her - but not everything. My
Mama, let us allow the whirl of evils to pass, so that they may surrender.”
Vol 12, May 28, 1918
And if one should think that all of these predictions have already occurred in the past and are not relevant to today or tomorrow this one shows that they are still relevant to us. Even though it was written during WWI it still has yet to come to completion. He even says that it will not be soon but it will come to pass.
“Now I want to tell you
something consoling. Italy, France, now win, and Germany loses.
All nations have some black stains, and all of them deserve humiliations and crushings. There will be a general uproar - confusion everywhere;
by the sword, by fire and by water, by sudden deaths, by contagious diseases, I will renew the world - I
will make new things. The nations will form a sort of tower of Babel; they will reach the point of being unable even to
understand one another; the peoples will rebel among
themselves, they will no longer want kings. All will be humiliated, and peace will come
only from Me. And if you hear them say ‘peace’, it will not be true, but
apparent. Once I have purged everything, I
will place my finger in a
surprising way, and will give the true peace. And then, all those who are
humiliated will return to Me; and Germany will be Catholic - I have
great designs upon her; England, Russia, and every place where blood was shed,
will rise again to faith and will be
incorporated into my Church. There will be the great triumph and the union of
peoples. Therefore, pray - and it takes patience, because this will not be so soon, but it will take
time.”
Vol. 12, October 16, 1918
The diseases that Luisa sees could only be compared to leprosy and we all know what a dread disease that was in history, and still continues in some places to this day. She sees diseases which will touch all Nations.
I found myself outside of myself, and I
saw as if contagious diseases were to come, and many were carried to leper
hospitals. A general fright was reigning, and many other maladies of new kinds.
But I hope that Jesus may want to placate Himself by the merits of His most
precious Blood.
Vol. 15, June 21, 1923
my sweet Jesus escaped me like a flash, and I wanted to follow Him, but,
to my highest bitterness, in that flash I saw that contagious diseases were to
come, which will spread almost in all nations, not excluding our Italy.
It seemed that many were dying of it, to the extent of depopulating
homes. In several nations the scourge would rage more strongly, but
almost all of them will be touched. It seems that they hold hands in
offending the Lord, and Our Lord touches everyone with the same scourges.
But I hope that He may want to placate Himself, so the peoples will suffer
less.
Vol 20, December 29, 1926
Vol 20, December 29, 1926
Jesus makes it very clear that the human will acting on its own without the Divine Will to preserve the soul and body is to blame for contagions which cause disease. Without the Divine Will reigning in the creature the human will emits putrid clouds which poison the body in the same way that the soul is poisoned. The only true cure is for the Divine Will to once again reign in the creature so that it can be healed by receiving again the Divine life which will heal and overcome all the evils of the human nature.
Now, as Adam sinned, his human will remained alone, and he no longer had the one who would diffuse in his will the light, the varieties of so many fragrances which, being transfused outside, preserved the soul and the body as it had been created by God. Instead, thick clouds, putrid air, perfumes of weakness and of miseries began to emanate from within his human will, in such a way that the body also lost its freshness, its beauty. It became debilitated and remained subject to all evils, sharing in all the evils of the human will, just as it had shared in the good. So, if the human will is healed by receiving again the life of my Divine Will, all the evils of the human nature will have life no more, as if by magic.

So, if the human will is healed by receiving again the life of my Divine Will, all the evils of the human nature will have life no more, as if by magic.
Does, perhaps,
the same not happen when a putrid, bad, stinking air surrounds the creatures?
How many more evils does it not increase, as the stink reaches the point of
taking one’s breath away, penetrating deep into one’s bowels, to the extent of
producing contagious diseases that lead one to the tomb? And if some air from
outside can cause so much harm, much greater harm can the foggy and putrid air
of the human will cause, which comes from within the creature, from the depth
of her whole being. And then, there is the palpable example of the plants. How
many times, in a garden or a flowery field for which the farmer was all in
feast hoping for an abundant harvest or expecting to pick many beautiful
fruits, a fog was enough to strip the trees and make all the fruits fall to the
ground, or an air too cold was enough to cast mourning over the flowery field,
to blacken it and make it die, putting the poor farmer in mourning.
If the air is good, it communicates the life of good; if it is bad, it
communicates the life of evil, and even death. The exhalation of the air, if it
is good, can be called life; if it is bad, it can be called death for the poor
creatures. If you knew how much I suffered in my public life, when blind, mute
people, lepers etc. presented themselves before Me… In them I recognized all
the exhalations of the human will, and how man, without my Will, becomes
deformed in soul and body. In fact, only my Fiat has the virtue of preserving
Our works whole, fresh and beautiful, as they came out of Our creative hands.”
Vol 24, July 7, 1928
One particular was Luisa used was the Laudate Dominum, (click on link,) which she prayed in union with Jesus for all mankind. It's so important to praise the Lord at all times. Truly ingratitude is a horrible offense against such a generous, merciful God.
Another way was to recite three Glory Be's, again in union with Jesus, to repair for all the glory that creatures owe God, followed by a Hail Mary as well to repair for the glory owed to Her.
The best way is to act with the intention of always living in the Divine Will. This way Jesus, Himself, disposes the intentions for all of one's acts as best pleases Him. And this fusing oneself in the Divine Will several times a day serves to maintain the balance of all reparations, satisfaction and glory owed to the Father just as Jesus did in his Humanity.
Now as to the recent loss of public Mass. Jesus stated that the offenses against the Sacraments, particularly those against the Most Holy Mass, would become so great that churches would remain deserted with no one to administer the Sacraments. The pain of the loss of the Sacraments felt by those who want to receive them will be used as reparation for those who ignore or disdain them.
“My Justice can take no more. I feel wounded by everyone – by priests, by devout people, by the secular, especially because of the abuse of the Sacraments. Some do not care about them at all, adding despises; others, who attend them, turn them into a conversation for their own pleasure; and others, not satisfied in their whims, because of this reach the point of offending Me. Oh, how tortured my Heart is in seeing the Sacraments reduced to painted pictures, or like those statues of stone which seem to be alive and operating from afar, but as one draws near them, one begins to discover the deceit. Then, one goes about touching them, and what does he find? Paper, stone, wood - inanimate objects; and here is how they are disillusioned completely. This is how the Sacraments have been reduced for the most part – there is nothing but mere appearance. What to say, then, about those who remain more filthy than clean? And then, the spirit of interest that reigns among the religious – it is something to be wept over! Don’t you think that they are all eyes where there is a most wretched penny, to the point of degrading their dignity? But where there is no interest they have no hands nor feet to move a tiny bit. This spirit of interest fills their interior so much that it overflows outside, to the point that the secular themselves feel the stench of it, are scandalized by it, and this causes them to give no credence to their words. Ah, yes, no one spares Me! There are some who offend Me directly, and some who, though they could prevent so much evil, do not bother doing it; so, I do not know to whom to turn. But I will chastise them in such a way as to render them incapable, and some I will destroy completely. They will reach such a point that churches will remain deserted, with no one to administer the Sacraments.”
Vol 24, July 7, 1928
Luisa constantly strove to repair and lessen all the chastisements that she witnessed. In the beginning Volumes she frequently spoke about how she would do this and Jesus, himself, would teach her. It begins by identifying oneself with Jesus so that everything is done together with him united in his Will.
“If you want to be safe, repair always, and repair together with Me. Identify yourself with Me so much, as to form one single echo of reparations between Me and you. Wherever there is reparation, the soul is as though under shelter, where she is protected from cold, from hail and from everything. But where there is no reparation, it is like being out in the middle of the street, exposed to lightnings, to hail and to all evils. Times are most sad, and if the circle of reparations does not expand, there is the danger that those who remain uncovered may be struck by the lightnings of Divine Justice.”
Vol. 12, June 4, 1918
Prayer, adoration and reparation disarm Divine Justice. Arguments and worry do nothing.
‘My beloved Jesus, when it is about chastisements, one must no longer argue, but only pray.’ And so I began to pray, to kiss His wounds, and to make acts of reparation. And while I was doing this, every now and then He would say to me: “My daughter, do not use violence on Me. By doing this, you want to use violence on Me by force; therefore, calm yourself.”
Vol. 3, October 30, 1899
One particular was Luisa used was the Laudate Dominum, (click on link,) which she prayed in union with Jesus for all mankind. It's so important to praise the Lord at all times. Truly ingratitude is a horrible offense against such a generous, merciful God.
‘Do You want some reparation? Let us do it together; in this way my reparations, united to Yours, will have the effects of Yours, for if I do them on my own I believe they will disgust You more.’ So I took His hand, dripping with blood, and kissing it, I recited the Laudate Dominum [Praise the Lord] with the Gloria Patri [Glory Be] – Jesus one part, I the other – to repair for the many evil works that are committed, placing the intention of praising Him as many times for as many offenses as He receives because of evil works. How moving it was to see Jesus praying! Then I continued to do the same to the other hand, placing the intention of praising Him as many times for as many offenses as He receives because of sins of causes. Then, His feet, with the intention of praising Him as many times for as many evil steps and as many wrong paths which are covered, even under the appearance of piety and sanctity. Lastly, His Heart, with the intention of praising Him for as many times as the human heart does not palpitate, does not love, and does not desire God. My beloved Jesus seemed all refreshed by these reparations done together with Him...
Vol. 4, January 5, 1901
Another way was to recite three Glory Be's, again in union with Jesus, to repair for all the glory that creatures owe God, followed by a Hail Mary as well to repair for the glory owed to Her.
‘Dear little One of my heart, let us recite three Glory Be’s, placing the intention of giving to your Divinity all the glory that the creature owes It, so You will receive at least a reparation.’ And He: “Yes, yes, let us recite them.” So we recited them together. Then we recited one Hail Mary, placing the intention of giving the Queen Mother also all the glory that creatures owe Her. Oh, how beautiful it was to pray with blessed Jesus! I felt so much at ease that I said: ‘My beloved, how I would like to make the profession of faith in your hands by reciting the Creed together with You.’ And He: “The Creed you will recite by yourself, because that is for you, not for Me, and you will say it in the name of all creatures so as to give Me more glory and honor.” So I placed my hands in His and I recited the Creed.
Vol. 6, April 26, 1904
The best way is to act with the intention of always living in the Divine Will. This way Jesus, Himself, disposes the intentions for all of one's acts as best pleases Him. And this fusing oneself in the Divine Will several times a day serves to maintain the balance of all reparations, satisfaction and glory owed to the Father just as Jesus did in his Humanity.
Another time I was thinking about what would be the best way to offer our actions, prayers, etc. - whether as reparations, as adorations, etc. And my always benign Jesus told me:
“My daughter, one who is in my Will and does her things because I want it, does not need to dispose her intentions herself. Since she is in my Will, as she operates, prays, suffers, I Myself dispose these things as I best please. Do I like reparation? I place them as reparation. Do I like love? I take them as love. Being the owner, I do with them whatever I want. Not so for those who are not in my Will: they are the ones who dispose, and I comply with their will.”
Vol. 11, September 29, 1912
Know, however, that your mere fusing yourself in Me every day, and several times a day, serves to maintain the balance of all the reparations, because only one who enters into Me and takes from Me the origin of everything she does, can balance the reparations of everyone and of everything. She can balance the glory of the Father on the part of creatures, because, since in Me is an eternal origin, an Eternal Will, I was able to balance everything: satisfaction, reparation and complete glory of the Celestial Father on the part of all. “So, as you enter into Me, you come to renew the balance of all the reparations and of the glory of the Eternal Majesty. And do you think this is little? Don’t you yourself feel that you cannot do without it, and that I do not leave you if, before, I do not see you fuse yourself in all my single parts, to receive from you the balance of all the reparations, as you substitute in the name of the whole human family? Try, as much as you can, to repair Me for everything. If you knew how much good the world receives when a soul, without a shadow of personal interest, but only for love of Me, rises between Heaven and earth and, united with Me, balances the reparations of all!”
Vol. 12, September 3, 1919
Know however that when we repair in the Divine Will we form Suns through which God looks at the earth making the earth less "disgusting" to God. But man's sins often reduce the effect of the light on the earth.
I said: ‘Jesus, I multiply my thoughts in your Will, to give to each one of your thoughts a kiss of a divine thought, an adoration, a recognition of You, a reparation, a love of divine thoughts, as if another Jesus were doing it. And this, in the name of all and for all the human thoughts, past, present and future; and I intend to compensate even for the intelligences of lost souls. I want that the glory of all creatures be complete, and that no one miss the roll-call; and what they do not do, I do in your Will, to give You divine and complete glory.” Then, looking at me, Jesus was waiting, as if He wanted a reparation to His eyes. And I said: ‘Jesus, I multiply myself in your gazes, so that I too may have as many gazes for as many times as You have gazed upon the creature with love; in your tears, so that I too may cry for all the sins of creatures, to be able to give You, in the name of all, gazes of divine love and divine tears, to give You complete glory and reparation for all the gazes of all creatures.’ Then, Jesus wanted me to continue the reparations to everything - to His mouth, to His Heart, to His desires, etc., multiplying everything in His Will, such that it would be too long for me to say everything, therefore I move forward. Then Jesus added:
“My daughter, as you were doing the acts in my Will, many suns were formed between Heaven and earth; and I look at the earth through these suns, otherwise the earth would be so disgusting to Me that I would not be able to look at it. But the earth receives little of these suns, because the darkness that they spread is such that, as it comes up against these suns, they can receive neither all the light, nor the heat.”
Vol. 12, April 7, 1919
Now as to the recent loss of public Mass. Jesus stated that the offenses against the Sacraments, particularly those against the Most Holy Mass, would become so great that churches would remain deserted with no one to administer the Sacraments. The pain of the loss of the Sacraments felt by those who want to receive them will be used as reparation for those who ignore or disdain them.
“My Justice can take no more. I feel wounded by everyone – by priests, by devout people, by the secular, especially because of the abuse of the Sacraments. Some do not care about them at all, adding despises; others, who attend them, turn them into a conversation for their own pleasure; and others, not satisfied in their whims, because of this reach the point of offending Me.

But I will chastise them in such a way as to render them incapable, and some I will destroy completely. They will reach such a point that churches will remain deserted, with no one to administer the Sacraments.”
Interrupting His speaking, all frightened I said: ‘Lord, what are You saying?! If there are some who abuse the Sacraments, there are also many good daughters who receive them with the due dispositions, and who would suffer very much if they could not attend them.’ And He: “Too scarce is their number; and then, their pain for not being able to receive them will work as reparation for Me, and to make them victims for those who abuse them.” Who can say how tormented I was left by these words of blessed Jesus? But I hope that He will placate Himself out of His infinite Mercy.
Vol. 2, September 30, 1899
Jesus early on told Luisa how important the Eucharistic Sacrament was and that in it he repeated constantly everything he did in his 33 years of life on the earth. He wanted her to unite herself in thought with him in the Sacrament at the altar 33 times a day to repeat all of his intentions and honor each year of his life.
3. As for the visits and the acts of reparation, you must know that everything I did in the course of thirty-three years, from when I was born up to when I died, I am continuing in the Sacrament of the altar. Therefore I want you to visit Me thirty-three times a day, honoring my years and also uniting with Me in the Sacrament with my own intentions – that is, reparation, adoration… You will do this at all times: with the first thought of the morning, fly before the tabernacle in which I am present for love of you, and visit Me; and also with the last thought of the evening, while you sleep at night, before and after your meal, at the beginning of each one of your actions, while walking, working…”
Vol. 1, The soul experiences that it cannot do anything without Jesus and that everything it does is all due to him. Jesus, the true spiritual director, teaches the soul what to do in various situations.
Truly we have much to repair for all mankind.
Truly we have much to repair for all mankind.
