I remembered that I had written this only to obey, and to my\u00a0great repugnance, and that I was connected to the mission of making the Divine\u00a0Will known.\u00a0 And I lamented to my Jesus for having told me this, while I<br \/>\nam so bad, and He alone knows all my miseries.\u00a0 This confused me and\u00a0humiliated me so much, as to give me no peace.\u00a0 I felt such distance\u00a0between me and the Celestial Mother, as if there was an abyss of distance\u00a0between me and Her.\u00a0 Then, while I was so troubled, my lovable Jesus came\u00a0out from within my interior, and clasping me tightly in His arms to infuse\u00a0peace in me, told me:\u00a0 \u201c<strong>My daughter, why do you trouble yourself so<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>much? \u00a0Don\u2019t you know that peace is the smile of the soul, it is the azure<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>and serene sky in which the Divine Sun makes Its light blaze more vividly, in<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>such a way as to let no cloud arise above the horizon, which might occupy the<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>light<\/strong>?\u00a0 Peace is the beneficial dew which vivifies everything and bejewels\u00a0the soul with an enrapturing beauty, and attracts the continuous kiss of my\u00a0Will upon her.\u00a0 And besides, what is it that opposes the truth?\u00a0Where is this exalting you too much?\u00a0 Only because I told you that I\u00a0placed you near my Divine Mother; because, She having been the depository of\u00a0all the goods of my Redemption, as my Mother, as Virgin, as Queen, I placed Her\u00a0at the head of all the redeemed ones, giving Her a distinct, unique and special\u00a0mission, which no one else will be given.\u00a0 The very Apostles and the whole\u00a0Church depend upon Her and receive from Her; there is no good which She does\u00a0not possess &#8211; all goods come from Her; it was right that, as my Mother, I was\u00a0to entrust everything and everyone to Her maternal Heart.\u00a0 Embracing\u00a0everything, and being able to give everything to everyone, was only of my Mother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, I repeat to you that just as I placed my Mama at the head of all, and I\u00a0deposited in Her all the goods of Redemption, so I chose another virgin, whom I\u00a0placed near Her, giving her the mission of making my Divine Will known.\u00a0And if Redemption is great, my Will is even greater; and just as for Redemption\u00a0there was a beginning in time, not in eternity, in the same way, for my Divine\u00a0Will, though It is eternal, there was to be the beginning in time of Its making\u00a0Itself known.\u00a0 Therefore, because my Will exists in Heaven and on earth,\u00a0and is the sole and only one which possesses all goods, I was to choose a\u00a0creature to whom I was to entrust the deposit of the knowledges about It,\u00a0making known to her, as to a second mother, the qualities, the value, the prerogatives\u00a0of It, that she might love It and jealously keep the deposit of It.\u00a0 And\u00a0just as my Celestial Mother, true depository of the goods of Redemption, is\u00a0generous with whomever wants of them, so will this second mother be generous in\u00a0making known to all the deposit of my teachings, the sanctity of it and the\u00a0good that my Divine Will wants to give, how It lives unknown in the midst of\u00a0creatures, and how, from the beginning of the creation of man, It years, It\u00a0prays, It supplicates that man return to his origin \u2013 that is, into my Will &#8211;\u00a0and that the rights of Its sovereignty over creatures be given back to\u00a0It.\u00a0 My Redemption was one, and I made use of my dear Mother in order to\u00a0carry It out.\u00a0 My Will also is one, and I was to make use of another\u00a0creature; and placing her as though at the head, and forming the deposit in\u00a0her, she was to serve Me to make my teachings known and to fulfill the designs\u00a0of my Divine Will.\u00a0 So, where is this exalting you too much?\u00a0 Who can\u00a0deny that the Redemption and the fulfillment of my Will are two unique and\u00a0similar missions, such that, as they hold each other\u2019s hand, my Will will make\u00a0the fruits of Redemption be completed, and the rights of Creation be given back\u00a0to Us, placing the seal on the purpose for which all things were created?\u00a0This is why this knowledge of the mission of Our Will interests Us so much \u2013\u00a0because nothing else will do so much good to creatures as it will; it will be\u00a0the fulfillment and the crowning of all Our works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Furthermore<\/strong>, of David <strong>it was said<\/strong> that he was an image of Me, so much so, that all of his psalms reveal my person; <strong>of Saint Francis of Assisi, that he was a faithful copy of\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Me.\u00a0<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It is said in the Holy Gospel:\u00a0 \u2018Be perfect as your Father in<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Heaven is perfect\u2019 &#8211; no less<\/span>; it is also added that no one will enter the\u00a0Kingdom of Heaven if he is not similar to the image of the Son of God; and many\u00a0other things.\u00a0 About all these, no one says that they have been exalted\u00a0too much, and that these are things not conforming to truths spoken by my very\u00a0mouth.\u00a0 Only because to you I said that I wanted to compare you to the\u00a0Virgin &#8211; to make you Her faithful copy, I have exalted you too much?\u00a0 So,\u00a0comparing those to Me was not exalting them, nor did anyone raise any doubt or\u00a0difficulty; but then, comparing to the Virgin \u2013 that\u2019s too much\u00a0exaltation.\u00a0 This means that they have not understood well the mission of\u00a0the knowledge of my Will.\u00a0 Indeed, I repeat to you that I not only place\u00a0you near Her as Her little daughter, on Her maternal lap, that She may guide\u00a0you, instruct you on how you must imitate Her, to become Her faithful copy by\u00a0always doing the Divine Will; so that, from Her lap, you may pass onto the lap\u00a0of the Divinity.\u00a0 In fact, the mission of my Will is eternal, and it is\u00a0precisely the mission of Our Celestial Father, who wants, commands, expects\u00a0nothing else but that His Will be known and loved, that It be done on earth as\u00a0It is in Heaven.\u00a0 So you, making this eternal mission your own and\u00a0imitating the Celestial Father, must want nothing else for yourself and for all\u00a0but that my Will be known, loved and fulfilled.\u00a0 And <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">besides, when it is<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the creature who exalts herself, one should think about it; but when she<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">remains at her place and I exalt her, all is permissible to Me \u2013 making one<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">reach wherever I want, and the way I want<\/span>.\u00a0 Therefore, trust Me and do not\u00a0be concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Volume 29 &#8211; February 13, 1931<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>How the Creation is mute, while the creature is speaking creation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8230; Then, I [Luisa] 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: \u201c<strong>Dearest 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> And 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<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\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> It 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. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">But, who is the speaking work of the Supreme Being<\/span>? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It is the creature<\/span>. <strong>In creating her, We loved her so much, that We gave her the great good of the word.<\/strong> Our 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. <strong>Therefore, 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>. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">So, 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.<\/span> But 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 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Francis loved God, all creatures &#8211; great and small, and all God&#8217;s\u00a0Creation Book of Heaven The Call of the Creature to the Order, the Place and the Purpose for which He was Created by God Volume 17 &#8211; April &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/?p=1701\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7779,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,15,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-october-2011","category-prayers-novenas-and-indulgences","category-divine-will"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7779"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1701"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24205,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701\/revisions\/24205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
