Let us say it soon and with simple words: she is the first<br \/>\none to live in the Divine Will, in perfect imitation of the Humanity of Our<br \/>\nLord: &#8220;My food is to do the Will of my Father&#8221;\u2026 and in perfect imitation of the<br \/>\nMost Holy Virgin: &#8220;Fiat Mihi\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Saints and the Church have known until now the conformity<br \/>\nto the Will of God, the full abandonment, and even the union to the Will of God.<br \/>\nWe could take as examples of this, the concepts of St. Francis of Sales and of<br \/>\nSt. Vincent de Paul, among many, in the following expression: &#8220;To empty oneself<br \/>\nof oneself and to unite one\u2019s own will so completely to God that it becomes one<br \/>\nwith His\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We could say: this is the highest point. And so, what is the<br \/>\ndifference between the teachings we are given through Luisa and this union of<br \/>\nwills? We will take the answer from the writings of Luisa. In Volume 14, on<br \/>\nOctober 6, 1922, being asked by Luisa how it could be possible that she was the<br \/>\nfirst one to live in the Divine Will after so many centuries and so many Saints<br \/>\nthe Church has had, Our Lord says:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;\u2026And then, it is so true that I have called you as the first,<br \/>\nsince to no other soul, though dear to Me, did I manifest the way to live in my<br \/>\nWill, Its effects, and the wonders and the goods that the creature operating in<br \/>\nthe Supreme Volition receives. Check as many lives of Saints as you want, or<br \/>\nbooks of doctrines: in none of them will you find the prodigies of my Volition<br \/>\noperating in the creature and of the creature operating in my Will. At the most,<br \/>\nyou will find resignation, union of wills; but in not one of them will you find<br \/>\nthe Divine Will operating in her, and she in It. This means that the time had<br \/>\nnot come in which my Goodness was to call the creature to live in this sublime<br \/>\nstate. Even the way I make you pray cannot be found in anyone else. Therefore,<br \/>\nbe attentive. My Justice demands this, my Love is delirious; so my Wisdom<br \/>\ndisposes everything in order to obtain the intent. It is the rights, the Glory<br \/>\nof Creation, that We want from you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u00a0In other words, from the union of wills already known through<br \/>\nseveral Saints, Luisa moves on <strong>to the activity of the union \u2013 to the activity<br \/>\nand the life of the creature in the Divine Will.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This statement can be verified and confirmed by the reader, if he reads the Writings without prejudice and<em> &#8220;with his mind opened to the light of the Truth&#8221;; <\/em>otherwise, <em>&#8220;he will understand nothing&#8221;<\/em> (Volume 12, January 29, 1919).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026in a few words: What distinguishes the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, from all the others? \u00a0From the Introduction to the book &#8220;Quando la Divina Volonta\u2019 regna nell\u2019anima&#8221; (&#8220;When the Divine Will reigns in the soul&#8221;), published by the Pious &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/?p=702\">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":[9,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-august-2011","category-information-on-luisa-piccarreta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702","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=702"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15853,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702\/revisions\/15853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luisapiccarreta.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
