It seems that my adorable Jesus continues to come a little bit. This morning, then, transporting me outside of myself, He showed me the great evils of society, and His great bitternesses; and He poured into me, abundantly, part of what embittered Him. Then He said to me: “My daughter, see now where the blindness of men has reached – to the point of wanting to make laws which are iniquitous and go against themselves and their own social welfare. My daughter, this is why I am calling you to sufferings again – so that, as you offer yourself with Me to Divine Justice, those who must fight this law of divorce may obtain light and efficacious grace in order to be victorious. My daughter, I tolerate that they make wars and revolutions, and that the blood of the new martyrs inundate the world – this is an honor for Me and for my Church; but this brutal law is an affront to my Church, and it is abominable and intolerable to Me.”

Now, while He was saying this, I saw a man who was fighting against this law – tired and exhausted in his strengths, in the act of wanting to withdraw from the enterprise. So, together with the Lord, we encouraged Him, and he answered: “I see myself almost fighting alone, and unable to obtain the intent.” And I said to him: ‘Courage, for contradictions are as many pearls which the Lord will use to adorn you in Heaven.’ And he took heart and continued the enterprise. After this, I saw someone else, all weary and concerned, not knowing what to decide, and someone saying to him: “Do you know what you should do? Get out – get out of Rome.” And he: “No, I cannot, this is the word given to my father; I will lay down my life, but as for getting out – never.” Afterwards, we withdrew; Jesus disappeared, and I found myself inside myself.

Book of Heaven
1/11/12 – Vol. 10

After I received Communion, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen all around me, and I was in the middle, as if within a flow. Jesus was the flow and I the nothing which was in the middle of this flow. Now, who can say what I experienced in this flow? I felt I was immense, yet nothing existed of me but nothingness; I felt breathed upon by Jesus; I felt His breath around me and everywhere… But I don’t have the words to express myself, I am too ignorant; I wrote this to obey. Then, afterwards Jesus told me: “My daughter, see how much I love you and how I keep you safe within my flow – that is, within Me. This is how you should keep Me safe and sheltered within you. Love wants to be matched by Love, so as to have the contentment of making a greater surprise of Love. Therefore, never go out from within my Love, from within my desires, from within my works, from within my all.”

(From Fr. Jerabek’s Blog in 2015, and worth repeating):

So it was with interest that I read the following words in Fr. Rutler’s weekly newsletter:

Last year at this time, I cited a statistical abstract using the ratio of professions to population and the number of infants aborted. The resulting estimate showed that in the last 35 years, those lives destroyed could have included: two U.S. presidents; seven Supreme Court justices; 102 U.S. senators and 589 congressmen; 8,123 judges; 31 Nobel Prize laureates; 328 Olympic medalists; 6,092 professional athletes; 134,841 physicians and surgeons; 392,500   registered nurses; 70,669 clergy, including 6,852 Catholic priests and 11,010 nuns; 1,102,443 elementary and high-school teachers; 553,821 truck drivers; 224,518 maids and housekeepers; 33,939 janitors; 134,028 farmers and ranchers; 109,984 police officers; and 39,477 firefighters.

I could have boldfaced the whole thing. Of course, it is a statistical projection and could be wrong. Two different statisticians might come up with very different numbers, based on different methodologies. But in any event, with over 56 million babies aborted since 1973 (Note in 2021 the number as of January 19, 2021 was 64,443,118) the fact is, it’s hard not to recognize at least some truth in the above numbers. Just imagine a country with 56 million more people in it!

Volume 36; April 12, 1938
The Divine Will pronounces Its Fiat in each act of one who lives in It, forming as many divine lives.  How It gives Itself prey to the creature and lets her do with It whatever she wants.  Difference between living in the Divine Will and being resigned to It.

 I am always in the arms of the Divine Fiat, and – oh! how I feel the need of Its Life, that breathes, palpitates and circulates in my poor soul.  Without It, I feel that everything dies for me:  the light dies, the sanctity, the strength, even Heaven Itself, as if It would no longer belong to me.  But as soon as I feel Its Life, everything rises again in me:  the light rises with its beauty, which vivifies, purifies and sanctifies; my Jesus Himself rises again with all His works; Heaven rises, which the Holy Will encloses in my soul as though inside a sacrarium, to make It all mine.  So, if I live in His Will everything is mine, nor can I lack anything.  Therefore, O Holy Will, as I begin this 36^th volume, I pray You, I beg You, I implore You not to leave me alone without You even for one instant, so that You Yourself will speak, will write.  You Yourself will make known Who You are, and how You want to be Life of all in order to give your goods to all.  If You let me do it, I won’t be able to make You known as You want, because I am incapable; but if You do it, You will triumph, You will make Yourself known and will have your Kingdom in the whole world.  Oh Holy Will, eclipse with your Power all the evils of the creatures; put your almighty ‘Basta’[1], so that they leave the way of sin and may find themselves on the way of your Divine Will.

[1] ‘Enough’.

FEAST OF THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

Mystery of the Lord’s Baptism–Maximus of Turin

The Gospel tells us that the Lord went to the Jordan River to be baptized and that He wished to consecrate Himself in the river by signs from Heaven.

Reason demands that this Feast of the Lord’s Baptism, which I think could be called the Feast of His Birthday, should follow soon after the Lord’s Birthday, during the same season, even though many years intervened between the two events.

At Christmas He was born a man; today He is reborn sacramentally. Then He was born from the Virgin; today He is born in mystery. When He was born a man, his Mother Mary held him close to Her heart; when He is born in mystery, God the Father embraces Him with His Voice when He says: This is My beloved Son in whom I AM well pleased: listen to Him. The Mother caresses the tender Baby on Her lap; the Father serves his Son by His Loving testimony. The Mother holds the Child for the Magi to adore; the Father reveals that His Son is to be worshiped by all the nations.

That is why the Lord Jesus went to the river for baptism, that is why he wanted His Holy Body to be washed with Jordan’s water.

Someone might ask, “Why would a Holy man desire baptism?” Listen to the answer: Christ is baptized, not to be made Holy by the water, but to make the water Holy, and by His cleansing to purify the waters which he touched. For the consecration of Christ involves a more significant consecration of the water.

For when the Savior is washed all water for our baptism is made clean, purified at its source for the dispensing of Baptismal Grace to the people of future ages. Christ is the first to be baptized, then, so that Christians will follow after him with confidence.

I understand they mystery as this. The column of fire went before the sons of Israel through the Red Sea so they could follow on their brave journey; the column went first through the waters to prepare a path for those who followed. As the apostle Paul said, what was accomplished then was the Mystery of Baptism. Clearly it was baptism in a certain sense when the cloud was covering the people and bringing them through the water.

But Christ the Lord does all these things: in the column of fire He went through the sea before the sons of Israel; so now, in the column of His Body, He goes through baptism before the Christian people. At the time of the Exodus the column provided light for the people who followed; now it gives light to the hearts of believers. Then it made a firm pathway through the waters; now it strengthens the footsteps of faith in the bath of baptism.

EPIPHANIES OR MANIFESTATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HOLY DIVINE WILL

Christ’s Birth

(Luke 2: 10-14)

“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all the people; for today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you, Who is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign to you:  you will find an Infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will.”

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

12/25/37 – Vol. 35

(Luisa) “Little daughter of My Will, the Feast of My Birth was the Feast—the beginning of the Feast—of My Divine Will.  As the Angels were singing, ‘Glory to God in the highest Heavens, and Peace on earth to the men of good will,’ all Angels and the Creation assumed a festive mode and, while celebrating My Birth, they celebrated the Feast of My Divine Will.  In fact, with My Birth, Our Divinity received True Glory unto the highest Heavens; and men will have the True Peace, when they will recognize My Will, giving It Dominion and allowing It to Reign.  Only then, will they feel My Will as Good—will they feel the Divine Strength; only then, will Heaven and earth sing together:  ‘Glory to God in the highest Heavens, and Peace on earth to the men who will possess the Divine Will.’  All will Abound in these men, and they will possess the True Peace.”

CHRIST’S EPIPHANY TO THE HOLY MAGI

(Matthew 2: 1-12)

“And behold, the Star that they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.  And when they saw the Star they rejoiced exceedingly.  And entering the house, they found the Child with Mary His mother, and falling down they worshipped Him. (Here genuflect).  And opening their treasures they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.  And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another way.”

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

1/6/27 – Vol. 20

Then, after this, I was thinking about the Holy Magi, when they visited the little baby Jesus in the grotto of Bethlehem; and my always lovable Jesus told me:  “My daughter (Luisa), see the order of My Divine Providence:  for the great Portent of My Incarnation, I chose and used a Virgin, humble and poor; and the Virgin Saint Joseph as My custodian, who acted as a father to Me, and who was so poor that he needed to work in order to sustain our lives.  See how in the greatest Works – and the Mystery of the Incarnation could not be greater – We use people whose outward appearance attracts no attention from anyone, because dignities, scepters, riches, are always fumes which blind the soul, and prevent her from penetrating into the Celestial Mysteries in order to receive a great Act of God – and God Himself.  But in order to Manifest to the peoples the coming of Myself, Word of the Father, upon earth, I wanted and used royal authorities, learned and erudite men, so that, by their authority, they might diffuse the Knowledges of the Incarnate God and, eventually, also impose themselves to the peoples.  In spite of this, the Star was seen by everyone, yet only three of them move, pay attention and follow it.  This says that, among all, these alone possessed a certain dominion over themselves, which formed a little empty space in their interior.  So, beyond the appearance of the Star, they felt My Call which echoed within their interior; and heedless of sacrifices, of gossip, of mockeries – because they were leaving for an unKnown place and they had to hear much of it – disregarding everything and dominating themselves, they followed the Star united to My Call, which resounded in their interior as more than a speaking Star.  It enlightened them, it attracted them, and said many things about the One whom they were to visit; and, drunk with joy, they followed the Star.

See then, how in order to give the great Gift of the Incarnation, it took a Virgin who had no human will, who was more of Heaven than of earth, and who was disposed to this great portent by a continuous miracle.  So, We had no need of external things and of human appearances, which might draw the attention of the peoples.  However, in spite of this, also to Manifest Myself, I wanted men who had dominion over themselves, and who would make a little space within their interior, to let the echo of My Call resound in it.  But what was not their surprise in seeing the Star stop, not over a royal palace, but over a vile hovel?  They did not know what to think, and convinced themselves that there was a mystery – not human, but Divine.  When they animated themselves with faith, entered the grotto and, kneeling, adored Me, as they bent their knees, I revealed Myself, and I let my Divinity shine forth from my little Humanity, and they recognized Me as the King of kings – the One who had come to save them.  Immediately, they offered themselves to serve Me and to lay down their lives for love of Me; but My Will made Itself Known, and sent them again into their region, to let them be the messengers of My coming upon earth in the midst of those peoples.  See then, how necessary dominion of oneself and emptiness of heart are, to let My Call resound, and to be fitting for knowing the Truth and for Manifesting it to others.”

THE MANIFESTATION OF JESUS AT HIS BAPTISM

Matthew 3: 13-17

“Then Jesus came from Galilee to John, at the Jordan to be baptized by him.  And John was for hindering him and said, “It is I who ought to be baptized by thee, and dost thou come to me?”  But Jesus answered and said to him, “Let it be so now, for so it becomes us to fulfill all justice.”  Then he permitted him.  And when Jesus had been baptized He immediately came up from the water.  And behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon Him.  And behold, a voice from the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased.”

JESUS’ MANIFESTATION OF THE MOST HOLY DIVINE WILL TO THE SERVANT OF GOD, LUISA PICCARRETA

FROM THE BOOK OF HEAVEN

3/20/32 – Vol. 30

Three necessary conditions in order to obtain the Kingdom of the Divine Will. How all live in the Divine Will.  Different way of Living.

“My daughter (Luisa), to know My Divine Will is the Greatest thing that I can give and that the creature can receive; and Its Reigning is the Confirmation of Its Great Gift and the carrying out of Its Will that was Known.  Therefore, it is necessary to ask for It; by asking for It, she disposes herself, she forms within herself the Royal Palace in which to receive It; by asking for It, she acquires the Love in order to Love It, she acquires the qualities of Sacrifice that are needed in order to possess It.  And as one asks for It, the human will loses its ground, it is debilitated, it loses strength and disposes itself to receive the Dominion of the Supreme Volition; and God, seeing Himself prayed, disposes Himself to give It.

“It takes the dispositions of both sides in order for Us to give Our Celestial Gifts.  How many Gifts do We want to give!  But because they are not asked for, We retain Them within Ourselves, waiting to give Them when they are asked for.  By asking, it is as if commerce were opened between Creator and creature.  If one does not ask, the commerce is closed, and Our Celestial Gifts do not descend in order to put themselves in circulation on the face of the earth.  Therefore, the first indispensable necessity in order to obtain the Kingdom of the Divine Will is to ask for It with Incessant prayers, because, as they pray, so are We reached by little letters—now of solicitation, now of supplication, now of the agreement that they want to make with Our Will, until the last letter comes, of the final accord.

“Second necessity, more indispensable than the first, in order to obtain this Kingdom:  it is necessary to know that one can have It.  Who can ever think of a Good, desire it, love it, if he does not know that he can obtain it?  No one.  If the Ancients had not Known that the future Redeemer was to come, no one would have given it a thought, nor prayed, nor hoped for salvation, because the salvation, the sanctity of those times, was fixed—centralized in the future Celestial Savior.  Outside of this there was no good to be hoped for.  To know that one can have a Good forms the Substance, the Life, the Nourishment of that Good in the creature.  Here is the reason for the so many Knowledges about My Will that I have Manifested to you—that it may be Known that they can have the Kingdom of My Will.  When it is Known that a Good can be possessed, arts and industriousness are used, and the means to obtain the intent are employed.

“The third necessary means is to know that God wants to give this Kingdom.  This lays the foundations, the sure Hope in order to obtain It, and forms the final preparations in order to receive the Kingdom of My Divine Will.  When a Good is wanted and longed for, to know that the one who can give it already wants to give it, can be called the last blow of Grace, and final act, to obtain what is wanted.  In fact, had I (Jesus) not Manifested to you (Luisa) that I can give and want to give My Divine Will as Dominating and Reigning in the midst of creatures, you would have remained indifferent like everyone else toward a Good so Great.  So, your interest, your prayers, have been effects of, and Births from, what you have Known.

“And I Myself, when I came upon earth, during the thirty years of My hidden Life—it can be said that, in appearance, I did no good to anyone, nor did a single one know Me.  I was, yes, in their midst, but unobserved; all the Good unfolded between Me and the Celestial Father, My Celestial Mother and dear Saint Joseph, because they knew He who I was; everybody else—nothing.  But when I came out of My hiding place, and I openly made Myself Known, saying that I was truly the Promised Messiah, their Redeemer and Savior, even though by making Myself Known I drew upon Myself calumnies, persecutions, contradiction, anger, hatred from the Jews, and My very Passion and Death, with all these evils that rained down upon Me like pouring rain, it came to be that I, by making Myself Known, affirmed who I was in Reality—the Eternal Word descended from Heaven in order to save them.  And this is so true, that as long as I remained in the House of Nazareth, not knowing who I was, no one told Me anything, nor did they slander Me or do Me any harm; as I revealed Myself, all evils swooped down upon Me.  But this, making Myself Known, was necessary, otherwise I would have departed back for Heaven without accomplishing the Purpose for which I had come upon earth.

“On the other hand, by making Myself Known, even though I drew so many evils upon Myself, in the midst of this chasm of evils I formed My Apostles, I announced the Gospel, I performed Prodigies, and the Knowledge of Me instigated My enemies to make Me suffer so many pains, to the point of giving Me death on the Cross.  But I obtained My Intent—that many would know Me in the midst of many who did not want to know Me; and the Fulfillment of My Redemption.  I knew that, by making Myself Known, the perfidy and pride of the Jews would do all that to Me, but making Myself Known was necessary, because a person, a Good, if it is not Known, is not bearer of Life or of Good.  The Good, the Truth, not Known, remain hampered within themselves, without fecundity, like many sterile mothers whose offspring ends with them.

“See, then, how necessary it is that it be Known that I can give the Kingdom of My Will, and that I want to give It.  I can say that it enters the same necessity as that of making Known that I was the Son of God who came upon earth.  It is yet true that many, in knowing this, will repeat what they did to Me when I made Myself Known as the longed-for Messiah:  calumnies, contradiction, doubts, suspicions, scorns, as indeed they have done already, as soon as the beginning of the printing showed signs of making My Divine Will Known.  But this says nothing; it is the Good that possesses the Strength that wounds evil; and so creatures, and hell, feeling wounded, arm themselves against Good and would want to annihilate Good, as well as she or he who wants to make that Good Known.  But in spite of everything that they wanted in the first beginning—having as though suffocated, upon Its wanting to rise, the Knowledge of My Will and Its wanting to Reign—yet It did take Its first Steps, and what some did not believe, others have believed.  The first Steps will call for the second, the third, and so forth, although those who will raise contradiction and doubts will not be lacking.  But it is of absolute necessity that My Divine Will, and that I can give It, and that I want to give It, be Known.

“These are the conditions without which God cannot give what He wants to give, and the creature cannot receive it.  Therefore pray, and do not hold yourself back from making My Divine Will Known.  Time, circumstances, things, people, change—they are not always the same; therefore, what is not obtained today can be obtained tomorrow—to the confusion, however, of those who have suffocated a Good so Great.  But My Will will Triumph and will have Its Kingdom upon earth.”

From the Writings of

The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

The Little Daughter of the Divine Will

Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord

“When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.”  When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.  Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.  They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance.  He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child.  When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.”  After their audience with the king they set out.  And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.  They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.”  – Matthew 2:1-12

The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will: Day 23

What was not the astonishment of these Magi Kings, in recognizing in that divine infant the King of Heaven and earth.

Now, my child, another surprise:  a new star shines under the vault of the heavens, and with its light it is searching for adorers, to lead them to recognize and adore baby Jesus.  Three individuals, each distant from the other, are touched by it, and invested by supernatural light, follow the star, which leads them to the grotto of Bethlehem, to the feet of the baby Jesus.  What was not the astonishment of these Magi Kings, in recognizing in that divine infant the King of Heaven and earth – the One Who had come to love and to save all?  In fact, when the Magi were in the act of adoring Him, enraptured by that celestial beauty, the newborn baby made His Divinity shine forth from His little humanity, and the grotto turned into paradise; so much so, that they were not able to separate themselves from the feet of the divine infant – not before He again withdrew the light of the Divinity within His humanity.  And I, exercising the office of mother, spoke at length of the descent of the Word, and fortified them in faith, hope and charity, symbolized by the gifts offered to Jesus.  Then, full of joy, they withdrew to their regions, to be the first propagators.

The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will: Day 24

You know of the coming of the Magi Kings, who caused rumor in Jerusalem

My dearest child, today the heart of your Mama is swollen with love and with sorrow, to the extent that I cannot refrain from crying.  You know of the coming of the Magi Kings, who caused rumor in Jerusalem, asking for the new King.  And cruel Herod, for fear of being removed from his throne, has already given the order to kill my sweet Jesus, my dear life, together with all of the other children.

My child, what pain!  The One who has come to give life to all, and to bring into the world the new era of peace, of happiness and of grace…they want to kill Him!  What ingratitude!  What perfidy!  Ah, my child, to what extent reaches the blindness of the human will!  To the extent of becoming ferocious, of tying the hands of the Creator Himself, and of becoming the owner of the One who created it.  Give me your compassion, my child, and try to calm the crying of the sweet Baby.  He cries because of human ingratitude, because, only a newborn, they want Him dead; so, in order to save Him, we are forced to flee.  Dear Saint Joseph has already been advised by the angel to leave for a foreign land.  Accompany us, dear child; do not leave us alone, and I will continue to give you my lessons on the great evils of the human will. 

The Epiphany The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will:
Meditation 4

A New Star, with Its Sweet Glittering, calls the Magi to adore Jesus. 

Dearest child, you are right in saying that you see me as more beautiful.  You must know that when I saw my Son being circumcised and His blood pouring from the wound, I loved that blood, that wound, and I became Mother twice:  Mother of my Son, and Mother of His blood – of His cruel pain.  Therefore I acquired a double right of maternity – a double right of graces before the Supreme Majesty, for myself and for all mankind.  This is why you see me as more beautiful.

My child, how beautiful it is to do good, to suffer in peace for love of the One who created us.  This binds the Divinity to the creature, and gives her so much grace and love – to the extent of drowning her.  This love and these graces cannot remain idle, but want to run and give themselves to all, to make known the one who has given so much.  This is why I felt the need to make my Son known.

Now, my blessed child, the Divinity, Who can deny nothing to one who loves It, makes a new star, more beautiful and radiant, arise under the blue heavens.  And with its light, it goes in search of adorers, to say to the whole world, with its mute glittering:  “The One Who has come to save you is born!  Come to adore Him and to know Him as your Savior!”

But…human ingratitude!  Among many, only three People paid attention, and without considering the sacrifices, put themselves on the path to follow the star.  And just as a star guided their persons along the path, so also my prayers, my love, my sighs and my graces, in my desire of making known the Celestial Baby – the Awaited One from all centuries – like many stars descending into their hearts, illuminated their minds and guided their interiors, in such a way that, without yet knowing Him, they felt that they loved the One for whom they were looking, and they hastened their step in order to reach and see the One whom they so much loved. 

My dearest child, my heart of a Mother rejoiced for the faithfulness, the correspondence and the sacrifice of these Magi Kings, to come to know and adore my Son.  But I cannot hide from you a secret sorrow of mine:  among many, only three.  In the history of the centuries, how many times is this sorrow of mine and this human ingratitude not repeated!  My Son and I do nothing but make stars arise, one more beautiful than the other, to call some to know their Creator, some to sanctity, some to rise again from sin, some to the heroism of a sacrifice… But do you want to know what these stars are?  A painful encounter is a star; a truth that one comes to know is a star; a love unrequited by other creatures is a star; a setback, a suffering, a disillusion, an unexpected fortune, are many stars which shed light in the minds of creatures.  Caressing them, they want to make them find the Celestial Infant, who is fidgeting with love, shivering with cold, and seeking a refuge in their hearts to be known and loved.  But, alas, I who hold Him in my arms, wait in vain for the stars to bring me the creatures, in order to place Him in their hearts – and my maternity is restrained, hindered.  While I am the Mother of Jesus, I am prevented from being the mother of all, because they are not around me, and do not look for Jesus.  So the stars hide, and they remain in the Jerusalems of the world, without Jesus.  What sorrow, my child, what sorrow!  It takes correspondence, fidelity and sacrifice to follow the stars; and if the sun of the Divine Will rises within the soul – how much attention does it not take.  Otherwise, one remains in the darkness of the human will.

Now, my child, as they entered Jerusalem, the holy Magi Kings lost the star, but, still, they did not stop looking for Jesus.  But as they went outside the city, the star reappeared and led them, festive, into the grotto of Bethlehem.  I received them with the love of a Mother, and the dear Baby looked at them with great love and majesty, letting His Divinity shine through His little humanity.  Bowing down, they knelt at His feet, and adoring and contemplating that celestial Beauty, they recognized Him as true God.  They remained enraptured, ecstatic – enjoying Him; so much so, that the Celestial Baby had to withdraw His Divinity into His Humanity, otherwise they would have remained there, unable to move from His divine feet.

Then, as they came round from their rapture, in which they offered the gold of their souls, the incense of their faith and adoration, the myrrh of all of their beings and of any sacrifice He might have wanted, they added the offering of the external gifts, symbol of their interior acts:  gold, incense and myrrh.  But my love of Mother was not yet content; I wanted to place the sweet Baby in their arms, and – oh, with how much love did they kiss Him and press Him to their chests!  They felt paradise, in advance, within them.  Through this, my Son bound all the gentile nations to the knowledge of the true God, and placed the goods of Redemption, the return to faith of all peoples, in common for all.  He constituted Himself King of the dominators, and ruling over all, with the weapons of His love, of His pains and of His tears, He called the Kingdom of His Will upon earth.  And I, your Mama, wanted to be the first apostle.  I instructed them; I told them the story of my Son, of His ardent love; I recommended that they make Him known to all, and assuming the first place of Mother and Queen of all Apostles, I blessed them, I had them blessed by the dear Baby, and happy and in tears, they left again for their regions.  I did not leave them, I accompanied them with maternal affection, and to repay them, I let them feel Jesus in their hearts.  How happy they were!  You must know that only when I see that my Son has dominion, possession, and forms His perennial dwelling in the hearts of those who search for Him and love Him – only then do I feel a true Mother.

Now a little word to you, my child:  if you want me to act as your true Mother, let me place Jesus in your heart.  You will make Him happy with your love; you will feed Him with the food of His Will, because He takes no other food; You will clothe Him with the sanctity of your works.  And I will come into your heart, I will raise my dear child again together with you, and I will perform for you and for Him, the office of Mother.  In this way, I will feel the pure joys of my maternal fecundity.  You must know that anything which does not begin with Jesus, who is inside the heart – even though they may be the most beautiful works on the outside – cannot please me, because they are empty of the life of my dear Son. 

Volume 3 – January 6, 1900

Today is the Epiphany, and in the example of the Holy Magi, I was to offer something to Baby Jesus.  Confidence, the staircase to ascend to the Divinity.

This morning I received Communion, and as I found myself together with Jesus, the Queen Mama was also there, and – oh, marvel! – I looked at the Mother and I could see Her Heart transmuted into Baby Jesus; I looked at the Son and I could see the Mother in the Heart of the Baby.  In the meantime, I remembered that today is the Epiphany, and in the example of the Holy Magi, I was to offer something to Baby Jesus, but I saw myself as having nothing to give Him.  So, in seeing my misery, the thought came to me of offering my body as myrrh, with all the sufferings of the twelve years in which I had been in bed, ready to suffer and to remain there as much longer as He pleased; as gold, the pain I feel when He deprives me of His presence, which is the most painful and sorrowful thing for me; as incense, my poor prayers, united to those of the Queen Mama, so that they might be more pleasing to Baby Jesus.  So I made the offering with full confidence that the Baby would accept everything.

Jesus seemed to accept my poor offerings with great pleasure, but that which He enjoyed the most was the confidence with which I had offered them.  Then He said to me:  “Confidence has two arms:  with one it embraces my Humanity, and it uses my Humanity as a staircase in order to ascend to my Divinity; with the other it embraces the Divinity and draws celestial graces in torrents, in such a way that the soul remains all inundated within the Divine Being.  When the soul is confident, she is certain to obtain what she asks.  I let my arms be bound, I let her do whatever she wants, I let her penetrate even into my Heart, and I let her take, by herself, that which she has asked from Me.  If I did not do so, I would feel Myself in a state of violence.”  While He was saying this, many rivulets of a liqueur (I call it ‘liqueur’, but I can’t really tell what it was) came out from the breast of the Baby and of the Mother, which inundated my soul completely.  Then the Queen Mother disappeared.

After this, together with the Baby I went out into the vault of the heavens.  I saw that His gracious face was sad, and I said to myself:  ‘Maybe He wants milk, this is why He is sad.’  So I said to Him:  ‘Do You want to suckle from me since the Queen Mama is not here?’  But before doing this, I became concerned that it might be the devil; so, in order to be reassured, I signed him several times with the cross and I said to him:  ‘Are you really Jesus the Nazarene, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, Son of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God?’  And the Baby assured that He was.  Therefore, being assured, I placed Him to suckle from myself.  The Baby seemed to revive, assuming a merry appearance, and I saw that He was suckling part of those rivulets with which He Himself had inundated me.  And while He was doing this, I felt my heart being pulled, as it seemed that that milk which Jesus was drawing from me was coming out from it.  Who can say what passed between me and Baby Jesus?  I have no tongue to be able to manifest it, no words to be able to describe it.

Volume 4 – January 6, 1901

Jesus communicates Himself to the three Magi through love, through beauty and through power.

As I was outside of myself, I seemed to see the moment when the holy Magi arrived at the grotto of Bethlehem.  As they arrived in the presence of the Baby, He pleased to let the rays of His Divinity shine externally, communicating Himself to the Magi in three ways – through love, through beauty and through power – in such a way that they remained enraptured and engrossed in the presence of Little Baby Jesus; so much so, that if the Lord had not withdrawn the rays of His Divinity internally again, they would have remained there forever, unable to move any more.  Then, as the Baby withdrew His Divinity, the holy Magi returned into themselves; they stirred themselves, stupefied, in seeing an excess of love so great, because through that light the Lord had let them understand the mystery of the Incarnation.  Then they stood up and offered their gifts to the Queen Mother, and She spoke at length with them, but I am unable to say everything She said.  I can only remember that She inculcated into them, strongly, not only their own salvation, but also taking to heart the salvation of their peoples, having no fear even to lay down their lives to obtain the intent.

After this, I withdrew inside myself and I found myself together with Jesus.  He wanted me to tell Him something, but I saw myself so cattiva [bad] and confused that I would not dare to tell Him anything.  Seeing that I was not saying anything, He Himself continued to speak about the holy Magi, telling me:  “By having communicated Myself to the Magi in three ways, I obtained three effects for them, because I never communicate Myself to souls uselessly; rather, they always receive some profit for themselves.  So, as I communicated Myself through love, they obtained detachment from themselves; through beauty, they obtained contempt for earthly things; and through power, their hearts remained all bound to Me, and they obtained the bravery to lay down their blood and lives for Me.”

Then He added:  “And you, what do you want?  Tell Me – do you love Me?  How would you want to love Me?”  Not knowing what to say, as my confusion increased, I said:  ‘Lord, I would want nothing but You, and if You say to me, ‘do you love Me?’, I have no words to be able to manifest it.  I can only say that I feel this passion that no one may be able to prevail over me in loving You, and that I should be the first in loving You, above everyone, and no one may be able to surpass me.  But this does not content me yet; in order to be content, I would want to love You with your own love, so that I may be able to love You as You love Yourself.  Ah, yes!  Only then would my concerns about loving You cease.’  Content, one could say, with my nonsense, Jesus clasped me so tightly to Himself, that I could see myself transmuted in Him, inside and out, and He communicated part of His love to me.  After this, I returned inside myself, and it seemed to me that for as much love as I am given, so much do I possess my Good; and if I love Him little, I possess Him little.

Volume 10 – December 25, 1910

Then came the Magi, but no priest showed up, while they should have been the first to form my cortege.

This morning blessed Jesus made Himself seen as a tiny Little One, but so gracious and beautiful as to enrapture me in a sweet enchantment.  Especially, then, He rendered Himself more lovable because, with His tiny little hands, He took little nails and nailed me with a mastery worthy only of my always lovable Jesus.  Then He filled me with kisses and with love, and so I did with Him.

Then, after this, I seemed to find myself in the grotto of my newborn Jesus, and my little Jesus told me:  “My beloved daughter, who came to visit me in the grotto of my birth?  Only shepherds were my first visitors – the only ones who kept coming and going, offering Me gifts and their little things.  They were the first to receive the knowledge of my coming into the world and, as a consequence, the first favorites to be filled with my grace.  This is why I always choose poor, ignorant, abject people, and I make of them portents of grace – because they are always the ones to be more disposed, the ones who more easily listen to Me and believe Me without raising so many difficulties, so many quibbles as, on the contrary, learned people do.

Then came the Magi, but no priest showed up, while they should have been the first to form my cortege.  In fact, more than anyone else, according to the Scriptures which they studied, they knew the time and the place, and it was easier for them to come to visit me.  But no one – no one moved; rather, while they indicated the place to the Magi, they did not move, nor did they trouble to take one step to follow the traces of my coming.  This was a most bitter sorrow for Me at my birth, because in those priests the attachment to riches, to interest, to families and to exterior things was so great as to blind their sight like a glare, harden their hearts, and render their intelligence dazed to the knowledge of the most sacrosanct and most certain truths.  They were so engulfed in the low things of the earth, as to never be able to believe that a God could come upon earth in the midst of so much poverty and so much humiliation.  And this, not only at my birth, but also during the course of my life.  When I performed the most sensational miracles, no one followed me; on the contrary, they plotted my death, and killed Me on the cross.  And after using all of my art in order to draw them to Myself, I put them into oblivion and chose poor and ignorant people as my apostles, forming my Church in them.  I segregated them from their families, I released them from any bond of riches, I filled them with the treasures of my graces, and I rendered them capable of governing my Church and souls.

However, you must know that this sorrow of Mine is still lasting, because the priests of these times have banded together with the priests of those times.  They have been holding hands in their attachments to families, to interest, to exterior things, and they care very little, or not at all, about that which is interior.  Even more, some have degraded themselves so much as to make even secular people understand how unhappy they are with their state, lowering their dignity down to the bottom, and below the secular themselves.  Ah! my daughter, what prestige can their word still have among the peoples?  Even more, because of them, the peoples keep deteriorating in the faith and into abysses of worse evils, groping their way in darkness, because they see no more light in priests.  This is the reason for the necessity of houses of reunion of priests, so that, freed from the mist of darkness by which he is invaded – families, interest, and cares for exterior things – the priest may give out light of true virtues, and the peoples may turn back from the errors in which they have fallen.  These reunions are so necessary, that every time the Church has reached the bottom, this has almost always been the means in order to make Her rise again, more beautiful and majestic.”

On hearing this, I said:  ‘My highest and only Good, sweet Life of mine, I compassionate your sorrow and I would like to soothe it with my love, but You know well who I am – how poor, ignorant, bad I am, and also extremely taken with my passion for hiddenness.  I would love it if You could hide me so much within You, that no one might ever again believe that I existed; and You, instead, want me to speak about these things which so much grieve your most loving Heart, and which are so necessary for the Church.  Oh! my Jesus, to me, speak of love, and go to other good and holy souls to speak about these things which are so useful for your Church.’

And good Jesus continued:  “My daughter, I too loved hiddenness, but there is a time for everything.  When the honor and the glory of the Father, as well as the good of souls, became necessary, I revealed Myself and I did my public life.  So I do with souls:  sometimes I keep them hidden, other times I manifest them; and you must be indifferent to everything, wanting only that which I want.  Even more, I bless your heart and your mouth, and I Myself will speak in you, with my own mouth and with my own sorrow.”  And so He blessed me, and He disappeared.

 Fiat!
