2/8 Correspondence to Grace.

Posted on by

1/22/00 – Vol. 3

 

After going through most bitter days of privation, my poor heart was struggling between the fear of having lost Him and the hope that, who knows, I might see Him again.  Oh God, what a bloody war this poor heart of mine had to bear!  The pain was so great that now it would become ice-cold, now it would be squeezed as though under a press, and would drip blood.  While I was in this state, I felt my sweet Jesus near me; He removed a veil from me which prevented me from seeing Him, so finally I was able to see Him.  Immediately I said to Him:  ‘Ah, Lord!  You don’t love me any more!’

And He:  “Yes, yes… What I recommend to you is correspondence to my grace, and in order to be faithful, you must be like the echo that resounds in an empty space:  as soon as a voice is emitted, immediately, without the slightest hesitation, one can hear the echo booming after it.  In the same way, as soon as you begin to receive my grace, without even waiting for Me to finish giving it, begin immediately the echo of your correspondence.”

 

1/22 Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children

Book of Heaven
6/9/99 – Vol. 2

The very grave sin of abortion. Union of sufferings and of prayers.

I spent this morning very anguished because of the many offenses which I saw Him receive from men, especially because of certain horrendous dishonesties. How much the loss of souls grieved Jesus! More so, since it was a newborn baby that they were going to kill, without administering holy baptism to him. It seems to me that this sin weighs so much on the scale of Divine Justice, that it is the one that most cries out for revenge before God. Yet, these sorrowful scenes are renewed so very often. My most sweet Jesus was so afflicted as to arouse pity. Seeing Him in such a state, I did not dare to tell Him anything, and Jesus just told me: “My daughter, unite your sufferings to Mine, your prayers to Mine, so that they may be more acceptable before the majesty of God, and may appear not as your things, but as my own works.” Then He continued to make Himself seen other times, but always in silence. May the Lord be always blessed.

1/15 Letter #45 from the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta to Mother Cecilia

Fiat! – In Voluntate Dei!

My good and reverend Mother,

Thank you very much for your dear letter and for the good news you send me, especially about your eyes.  I was really concerned, but now I thank God.  We are making the third edition of the “Queen of Heaven” with a beautiful appendix.  I would have liked to make you a surprise.  The typography is going very slowly, so it hasn’t come out yet, but it’s about to be finished.  As soon as it comes out, the first copy will be for you, and you will hear new surprises from the Queen – what she has done, what she does and wants to do for us.  After I send it to you, you will send me your impressions, and I believe that you will love the Celestial Queen more.

Now, my dearest Mother, I send you my wishes for the birth of the little King Jesus.  It is easier to get what we want from the little ones, because they have no self-interest.  Sometimes it is enough to give them a caress, a kiss, or to dry their tears, to obtain what we want.  I believe that your Maternity will give all this to little Jesus, and He will give you His Most Holy Will as a gift for His birth.  He could not give you a greater gift, because with It you will have sanctity and peace at your disposal; you will feel the Creative Virtue within you, which has the virtue of transforming your acts – even a little “I love You” – into as many Lives of Love, which are incessantly in the act of loving the One who loves us so much.

My Mother, how beautiful it is to live in the Divine Volition!  Everything is ours; God Himself feels the need to give Himself at the mercy of His creatures, to love them and to be loved by them.  I wouldn’t know what else to wish you, more beautiful and more useful than this:  may the Divine Volition enwrap you so much as to make you feel, see and touch nothing but Divine Will.

I leave you in the Divine Volition…
