Fiat – In Voluntate Dei!

My good daughter in the Divine Volition,
Courage and trust.  The Divine Will has found Its work in your soul, and when you suffer more, it seems that Jesus wants to hasten His work, to receive the contentment to see you as He wants and likes, and to be able to say:  “My daughter is like Me, in the sufferings as much as in wanting what I Myself wanted – only the Will of the Celestial Father.  How happy I AM!  It is true that you suffer, but I run to sustain you in My Arms, that you may feel My Strength and the Powerful Breath of My Will, which searches for the New Life I want in you, and converts all your pains into precious gems of love.  And when I feel embittered, I run, I come to you, to be sweetened in your pains which carry the seal of My Divine Will, and to sweeten the bitternesses that, unfortunately, the other creatures give Me.  Therefore, I recommend to you, My daughter:  be patient, be My host, let Me come to be consecrated in you.  But I do not want you as a dead host, but alive and speaking; and may your suffering be the lamp, always lit, which never extinguishes, and that loves Me incessantly.”
My blessed daughter, how Good is Jesus!  It seems that He reduces us to dust in order to give us New Life, and to find His Own Life in us.

Continuing in my usual state, He made Himself seen for a little from within my interior – first Himself alone, and then all Three Divine Persons, but They were all in profound silence.  I continued my usual interior work in Their Presence, and it seemed that the Son would Unite with me and I would do nothing but follow Him.  But everything was silence, and in this silence I would do nothing but identify myself with God, and my whole interior, my affections, heartbeats, desires, breaths, would become profound adorations to the Supreme Majesty.  Then, after spending some time in this state, it seemed that all Three of Them were Speaking, though one single Voice was formed, and They said to me:  “Our Beloved daughter, Courage, Fidelity and Greatest Attention in following what the Divinity Operates in you, because everything you do, it is not you who does it, for you do nothing other than give the Divinity your soul as residence.  It happens to you as to a poor woman who had a little hovel, and the king asks for it as his residence, and she gives it to him and does everything the king wants.  So, since the king resides in that little hovel, it contains riches, nobility, glory and all goods.  But to whom do they belong?  To the king; and if the king wants to leave, what remains to the poor one?  She is left always with her poverty.”

Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces

There have been four Dogmas formally defined concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are Mary, the Mother of God; the Perpetual Virginity of Mary; the Immaculate Conception; and the Assumption. Yet a fifth Dogma awaits to be proclaimed by the Church, one which has been prophesied by many Marian Saints. This Dogma is Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces. A lay movement called Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici has been actively promoting the proclamation of this doctrine.  Inside the Vatican magazine reports that “currently it has collected from all around the world more than 4 million signatures, including more than 300 bishops. There are 32 cardinals on its advisory board….” (Inside the Vatican, “A New Marian Dogma,” by Leonie Caldecott, June‑July 1996, p. 18). Dr. Mark Miravalle, Associate Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, has authored a book entitled, Mary: Coredemptrix, Mediatrix. Advocate in which he proposes the dogmatic definition of Mary, Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate. Cardinal Luigi Ciappi, O.P., who served as Papal Theologian for all popes from Pope Pius XII to Pope John Paul II, endorsed this work with the words, “I share the hope of Dr. Mark Miravalle.”

The angel Gabriel had announced to Mary that God would soon give a son to Elizabeth.  The Virgin at once b=went to Hebron, where her cousin lived:  that is the mystery of the Visitation which is solemnized on the day following the octave of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

On this day, as in the season of Advent, the Church traditionally recalls together the memories of the Precursor and of Jesus and Mary.  The Virgin, Mother of God, who bears and gives birth to Him who bears and produces all things, then pronounces a “sublime canticle”, the Magnificat:
