The mission of the Divine Will is Eternal, and it is precisely the mission of Our Celestial Father.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta the Little Daughter of the Divine Will:<\/em><\/p>\n

I write only to obey, and to my great repugnance.\u00a0 After a holy priest had
\nread my writings, he had let me know that in certain chapters blessed Jesus was
\nexalting me too much, to the point of telling me that He placed me near His
\nCelestial Mama, that She be me my model.\u00a0 On hearing this, I felt confused
\nand troubled; I remembered that I had written this only to obey, and to my
\ngreat repugnance, and that I was connected to the mission of making the Divine
\nWill known.\u00a0 And I lamented to my Jesus for having told me this, while I
\nam so bad, and He alone knows all my miseries.\u00a0 This confused me and
\nhumiliated me so much, as to give me no peace.\u00a0 I felt such distance
\nbetween me and the Celestial Mother, as if there was an abyss of distance
\nbetween me and Her.\u00a0 Then, while I was so troubled, my lovable Jesus came
\nout from within my interior, and clasping me tightly in His arms to infuse
\npeace in me, told me:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter, why do you trouble yourself so<\/strong>
\nmuch?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you know that peace is the smile of the soul, it is the azure<\/strong>
\nand serene sky in which the Divine Sun makes Its light blaze more vividly, in<\/strong>
\nsuch a way as to let no cloud arise above the horizon, which might occupy the<\/strong>
\nlight<\/strong>?\u00a0 Peace is the beneficial dew which vivifies everything and bejewels
\nthe soul with an enrapturing beauty, and attracts the continuous kiss of my
\nWill upon her.\u00a0 And besides, what is it that opposes the truth?
\nWhere is this exalting you too much?\u00a0 Only because I told you that I
\nplaced you near my Divine Mother; because, She having been the depository of
\nall the goods of my Redemption, as my Mother, as Virgin, as Queen, I placed Her
\nat the head of all the redeemed ones, giving Her a distinct, unique and special
\nmission, which no one else will be given.\u00a0 The very Apostles and the whole
\nChurch depend upon Her and receive from Her; there is no good which She does
\nnot possess – all goods come from Her; it was right that, as my Mother, I was
\nto entrust everything and everyone to Her maternal Heart.\u00a0 Embracing
\neverything, and being able to give everything to everyone, was only of my Mother.<\/p>\n

Now, I repeat to you that just as I placed my Mama at the head of all, and I
\ndeposited in Her all the goods of Redemption, so I chose another virgin, whom I
\nplaced near Her, giving her the mission of making my Divine Will known.
\nAnd if Redemption is great, my Will is even greater; and just as for Redemption
\nthere was a beginning in time, not in eternity, in the same way, for my Divine
\nWill, though It is eternal, there was to be the beginning in time of Its making
\nItself known.\u00a0 Therefore, because my Will exists in Heaven and on earth,
\nand is the sole and only one which possesses all goods, I was to choose a
\ncreature to whom I was to entrust the deposit of the knowledges about It,
\nmaking known to her, as to a second mother, the qualities, the value, the prerogatives
\nof It, that she might love It and jealously keep the deposit of It.\u00a0 And
\njust as my Celestial Mother, true depository of the goods of Redemption, is
\ngenerous with whomever wants of them, so will this second mother be generous in
\nmaking known to all the deposit of my teachings, the sanctity of it and the
\ngood that my Divine Will wants to give, how It lives unknown in the midst of
\ncreatures, and how, from the beginning of the creation of man, It years, It
\nprays, It supplicates that man return to his origin \u2013 that is, into my Will –
\nand that the rights of Its sovereignty over creatures be given back to
\nIt.\u00a0 My Redemption was one, and I made use of my dear Mother in order to
\ncarry It out.\u00a0 My Will also is one, and I was to make use of another
\ncreature; and placing her as though at the head, and forming the deposit in
\nher, she was to serve Me to make my teachings known and to fulfill the designs
\nof my Divine Will.\u00a0 So, where is this exalting you too much?\u00a0 Who can
\ndeny that the Redemption and the fulfillment of my Will are two unique and
\nsimilar missions, such that, as they hold each other\u2019s hand, my Will will make
\nthe fruits of Redemption be completed, and the rights of Creation be given back
\nto Us, placing the seal on the purpose for which all things were created?
\nThis is why this knowledge of the mission of Our Will interests Us so much \u2013
\nbecause nothing else will do so much good to creatures as it will; it will be
\nthe fulfillment and the crowning of all Our works.<\/p>\n

Furthermore<\/strong>, of David\u00a0it was said<\/strong>\u00a0that he was an image of Me, so much so, that all of his psalms reveal my person;\u00a0of Saint Francis of Assisi, that he was a faithful copy of\u00a0<\/strong>Me.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0It is said in the Holy Gospel:\u00a0 \u2018Be perfect as your Father in
\nHeaven is perfect\u2019 – no less; it is also added that no one will enter the
\nKingdom of Heaven if he is not similar to the image of the Son of God; and many
\nother things.\u00a0 About all these, no one says that they have been exalted
\ntoo much, and that these are things not conforming to truths spoken by my very
\nmouth.\u00a0 Only because to you I said that I wanted to compare you to the
\nVirgin – to make you Her faithful copy, I have exalted you too much?\u00a0 So,
\ncomparing those to Me was not exalting them, nor did anyone raise any doubt or
\ndifficulty; but then, comparing to the Virgin \u2013 that\u2019s too much
\nexaltation.\u00a0 This means that they have not understood well the mission of
\nthe knowledge of my Will.\u00a0 Indeed, I repeat to you that I not only place
\nyou near Her as Her little daughter, on Her maternal lap, that She may guide
\nyou, instruct you on how you must imitate Her, to become Her faithful copy by
\nalways doing the Divine Will; so that, from Her lap, you may pass onto the lap
\nof the Divinity.\u00a0 In fact, the mission of my Will is eternal, and it is
\nprecisely the mission of Our Celestial Father, who wants, commands, expects
\nnothing else but that His Will be known and loved, that It be done on earth as
\nIt is in Heaven.\u00a0 So you, making this eternal mission your own and
\nimitating the Celestial Father, must want nothing else for yourself and for all
\nbut that my Will be known, loved and fulfilled.\u00a0 And\u00a0besides, when it is
\nthe creature who exalts herself, one should think about it; but when she
\nremains at her place and I exalt her, all is permissible to Me \u2013 making one
\nreach wherever I want, and the way I want.\u00a0 Therefore, trust Me and do not
\nbe concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

How the Creation is mute, while the creature is speaking creation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta the Little Daughter of the Divine Will:<\/em><\/p>\n

… Then, I was continuing my little acts of adorations, of love, of praises, of blessings in the Divine Fiat for my Creator; and as I emitted my acts, the Divine Volition extended them everywhere and in every place where the Divine Will was present, which is such that there is not one point in which It is not present. And my always lovable Jesus added: \u201cDearest daughter of My Will, you must know that My Volition knows not how to do acts by half, but complete ones, and with such fullness as to be able to say: \u2018Wherever there is My Will there is My Act.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0And Our Divinity, seeing the adoration, the love of Its creature laid within Our Divine Will, finds Its support within Its Immensity, at whatever point It wants to lean. So, We feel Our profound adoration that the creature has placed for Us in Our Will, and We lean upon it and We rest; We feel that she loves Us everywhere, and We lean within her love; and so with her praises and blessings. So, the creature in Our Will becomes Our support and Our rest; and there is nothing that delights Us more than finding Our rest in Our creature\u2014symbol of the rest that We took after having created the whole Creation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Furthermore, Our Divine Will is present everywhere, and Heaven and earth, and everything, are filled with It up to the brim. So, all are veils that hide It, but mute veils; and if in their muteness they eloquently speak of their Creator, it is not them, but My very Divine Will, hidden in the created things, speaks by way of signs, as if It did not have speech.<\/strong>\u00a0It speaks in the sun by way of signs of light and of heat; in the wind, giving penetrating and ruling signs; in the air It gives mute signs, such as to make Itself breath of all creatures. Oh! if the sun, the wind, the air and all other created things had the good of the word, how many things they would say to their Creator.\u00a0But, who is the speaking work of the Supreme Being?\u00a0It is the creature.\u00a0In creating her, We loved her so much, that We gave her the great good of the word.<\/strong>\u00a0Our Will wanted to make Itself word of the creature, It wanted to leave the muteness of created things, and forming in her the organ of the voice, It formed the word so as to be able to speak.\u00a0Therefore, the voice of the creatures is speaking veil in which My Will speaks eloquently, wisely; and since the creature does not say or do always the same thing\u2014as the created things, that never change their action; they are always at their place, doing that same action that God wants from them\u2014therefore My Will maintains the continuous attitude of the multiplicity of the ways that are in the creature<\/strong>.\u00a0So, it can be said that It speaks not only in the voice, but It renders Itself speaking in the works, in the steps, in the mind and in the heart of creatures.\u00a0But what is not Our sorrow in seeing this speaking creation making use of the great good of the word to offend Us; making use of the gift to offend the giver and prevent the great prodigy that I can make, of graces, of love, of Divine Knowledges, of the sanctity that I can form in the speaking work of the creature? But for one who lives in My Will, I am voice that speaks, and\u2014oh! how many things I keep manifesting to her; I am in continuous motion and attitude, I enjoy the full freedom to do and say surprising things, and I perform the prodigy of My Will speaking, loving and operating in the creature. Therefore, give Me full freedom, and you will see what My Will can do in you.\u201d …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
