From then on, an insatiable desire to suffer for jesus' sake rises in her. At this time, also begin his first physical sufferings of the Passion, as well as great spiritual and moral pains.

At the age of 16, following a desire expressed by Jesus and Mary, she consecrated herself to Jesus as a victim.

From then on, visions multiplied and it became more and more associated with the sufferings of Jesus in his Passion.

From that moment on, too, and for the rest of her life (i.e. for 65 years), she cannot eat or drink, rejecting all food.

Because of her sufferings of the Passion of Jesus, which are becoming stronger and stronger, Luisa often loses the use of her senses.

His body becomes rigid, sometimes for several days, until a priest (usually his confessor) comes,

At the age of 23, a year after the beginning of her permanent bed rest (which would last for the rest of her life), she received the grace of mystical Marriage.

This marriage is renewed 11 months later in Heaven, in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity. It is on this occasion that he is given the Gift of the Divine Will.

She gives up her soul at daybreak, at a time when, every day, her confessor used to bring her out of her state of death.

Louisa wrote a lot. She did so out of obedience to Jesus and his confessors, overcoming the strong aversion she has always felt to writing and talking about herself.

His main writings form the 36 volumes of his work entitled "The Book of Heaven" (name suggested by Jesus himself).

They describe his life and share his dialogues with Jesus, the means chosen by him.

to make known his extraordinary and surprising teachings on life in the Divine Will.

One of his confessors, Blessed Br. Annibale M. Di Francia, was recently beatified by Pope John Paul II.

The Little Girl of the Divine Will 1865-1947 Corato, province of Bari, Italy

In our great desire to make known his Kingdom of Love, Justice and Peace, we humbly ask you to glorify your servant Luisa,

-to help us joyfully embrace our crosses on this earth, in such a way that we, too,

I must write down what happened between me and my beloved Jesus for a period of more than 16 years.

Nevertheless, although confused, I want to apply myself to the best of my ability.

I believe in Jesus, my beloved Bridegroom, who will be able to make my task tolerable.

"So I begin, O Jesus, in you, with you, and for you. I don't trust myself, but I have faith in you.

during which Jesus had chosen to remain in the Virginal Womb of the Blessed Virgin

by doing nine days a day nine meditations a day concerning the blessed mystery of the Incarnation.

In a meditation, I chose to go to Paradise by thought. I imagined the Most Holy Trinity in a decisive council,

planning to redeem the human race that has fallen into the most sordid misery, from which, without divine action, it would never be able to rise again, to achieve a new life of absolute freedom.

I then considered the ingratitude of these, rendering such a great Love inoperative. I would have stayed in this state all day, rather than just an hour, if Jesus hadn't made me hear an inner voice telling me:

become so small and be confined to such a small space, until you can't move or breathe.

Out of pity, give me some space in your heart. Get out of it all that is not of me,

"Ah! my Jesus, how benevolent you have always been to the wretched creature that I am, and how you still are! Always have mercy on me!"

And so I continued until the ninth hour, which I omitted, because of my tasteless and regrettable distractions.

However, the voice asked me to continue with the novena meditations, warning me.

There were times when my family prevented me from doing it while I was working. But I still wanted to satisfy my so good Jesus.

I was alone and about to finish my meditations when, suddenly, I felt within me a current of unusual fervor.

I got up immediately and ran to kiss him. But when I tried to hug him, he disappeared. This happened three times, and each time I could not kiss him.

I do not deny that I was all transformed from love by Jesus. This unusual fervor lasted for several days.

the voice rebuked me after each of my customary faults. She corrected me and taught me that I had to do everything very well.

She gave me new courage when I fell and she made me promise to be more vigilant in the future.

to always use paternal efforts to keep her at her duty, so that she may produce for God honor and glory, and

that she always seeks the enviable crown of virtue. But alas, for my shame and confusion, I must exclaim:

Then my Good and Divine Master began to free my heart from all the affections that attached him to creatures.

You tell the truth when you say you can't do anything on your own. But don't be afraid, I'll do everything for you.

I then cried with regret and promised that, more than ever, I was going to be his totally. And if, at that time,

Knowing that, deprived of his help, I would do much worse, I asked him not to abandon me.

When I was distracted by conversations with my family or unimportant or unnecessary words, I quickly heard His Voice say to me:

They fill your mind with things I'm not interested in. They surround your heart with harmful feelings,

which render ineffective the graces of which I flood you, you so weak and lifeless. Oh! try to imitate me as when I was in the house of Nazareth:

Thus, hearts broken by sorrow were attracted softened by grace, they were brought to my Love.

Should I tell you about the spiritual conferences I had with my putative Mother and Father?

So I became silent internally and all confused I wanted to be alone as much as possible.

I asked for his help and graces to be punctual in carrying out what he asked of me.

And woe to me when my thought or heart occasionally turned away from Jesus and became interested in people I loved.

As a result of so many reproaches, I felt my heart break. I could only cry profusely and beg his forgiveness.

-as well as a vision of the fickle and fickle love that creatures have for him. My heart was totally seized. From that moment on, I was unable to love anyone but him alone.

For example, if something good came to me, I would have to recognize that he, the engine first

If the creatures approached me with praise and applause, I would receive them with disdain and say to myself:

freed from thoughts and affections for them, he began to purify the inside of my heart.

than at the time when you sought to please those who lived around you? Don't you see that it is easier to please me alone,

In return, we will act as if you and I are alone in the world. Promise me to be faithful

I will rejoice in making you a perfect image of me. You will imitate me in all that I have done in my Humanity,

Have no doubt about success, because I will teach you little by little how to do it."

"In order for me to pour out my graces into your heart, it is necessary that you convince yourself that,

I fill with my gifts and graces souls who hesitate to attribute to themselves the good effects of their work done with my grace.

Souls who regard my gifts and graces as if they had acquired them by themselves, commit many thefts.

-but are the result of the gifts which have been bestowed upon me in abundance by divine Love."

-but they live in fear of losing my graces, my gifts and my favors if they no longer please me.

They do not give credit to my graces and, from fall to fall, they go to their ruin.

By doing so, I became a little one and I annihilated myself. So much so that, sometimes,

I felt my whole being dissolved and dismembered, unable to take a step or take a breath without the assistance of Jesus.

"If only they knew how sinful I have been and how many graces the Lord has bestowed upon me, they would be horrified.

I hope jesus won't let them know me, because if they knew, I could commit suicide."

Jesus tells me even more things about the state of the perfect annihilation to which he called me.

He made suggestions to me, always different from those of the previous visit. I can safely say that each of the many times Jesus spoke to me, he used a different approach to explain the causes and effects of the virtue he wanted to instill in me.

If he had wanted to, he could have spoken about the same virtue a thousand more times, and in a thousand different ways:

-always sought to conform to what Jesus taught me. But I have often lost that desire in one way or another.

"If you had been more humble and closer to me, you would not have done this work so poorly.

But because you thought you could start, continue, and finish the job without me, you did it, but not according to my own desires.

Know that if you always do this, you will gain the greatest humility. If you do the opposite,

Thus he gave me much light and grace and made me see the ugliness of the sin of pride.

Not knowing what to do to repair the damage of the past, I tried mortifications chosen on my own.

I also asked my confessor for mortifications, but they were not always consented to me.

The fear of being away from him haunted me, and the fear that it would then cost me even more, left me without really knowing what to do.

Know that I do not remember the evil you committed, having perfectly forgotten everything. Do you see in me any resentment, or even a shadow of bad mood towards you?"

And I said, "No, my Lord, my heart breaks when I think of your Goodness, your Kindness and your Love towards me, despite my ingratitude."

"Very well, my child. But why do you want to go back to the past? How much better it would be if we thought about our love for each other!

From that moment on, to satisfy my adorable Jesus, I really didn't think about the past anymore. However, I have often implored Him to teach me how to make reparation for my past sins.

I know how weak you are. It is from me that you will receive strength, perseverance and goodwill. Do what I told you.

you act only for my satisfaction and pleasure. When you suffer contradictions or receive wounds, I want

If mortifications are not motivated from beginning to end by the love of Him, they are tasteless and without merit.

"Charity is the virtue that gives other virtues their luster. Actions done without charity are dead works.

My Eyes only pay attention to actions that are done in the spirit of charity. They alone do not reach my Heart.

-do your actions, even the smallest ones, in the spirit of charity and sacrifice.

As the currency must have the image of the king printed on it to be accepted as valid by the king's subjects,

It is true that it will cost you more, but take courage and do not be afraid. Me with you and you with me, we will do everything."

In telling me this, my good Jesus imprinted in my mind and heart such an annihilation that I would have liked to hide in the deepest abyss. Knowing

-I will give you the strength to always work for me, to do everything for me."

Created by God in His image and likeness, man can attain the highest perfection if he applies himself

if, by his attraction alone, he urges me to throw myself into his paternal arms, and if, moreover, he wants me to take all my strength in him in order to do all things well,

I will be in you and with you to do wonderful things. Follow me in all things and you will see.

For a time, I will stand in front of you like a mirror, and all you have to do will be

So be prepared for prohibitions on my part, especially in relation to creatures."

if I did not immediately wake up in the morning, I heard his Voice inwardly say to me:

"I don't want your gaze to extend beyond what is necessary, so that you don't stumble."

-If I was in the countryside, surrounded by various plants, trees and flowers, he would tell me:

"I created everything out of Love for you, and you, out of love for me, deny yourself this pleasure."

-If, in church, I fixed my gaze on sacred decorations, he would rebuke me by saying:

"You're too comfortable. You do not consider that my Life was one of continual suffering!"

When I didn't get through with my job, I asked him for help. Many times he helped me by doing the work with me so that I would be free earlier, usually not for entertainment, but to have more time for prayer.

Sometimes it happened that, by myself or with him, the work that was to occupy me all day was finished in a short time.

After a while, I began to feel more involved and wish I had stayed in prayer indefinitely.

I never experienced fatigue or boredom, and I felt so good that I felt like I didn't need any food other than the one that came to me from prayer.

Take the food that will be absorbed by your body. Ask that my Love be united with yours,

"Have you forgotten that I have no other desire than to mortify myself out of Love for you? Stop eating this and turn to something you have no desire for."

In this way, Jesus tried to kill my will, even in the smallest things, so that I would live only in him.

When the day approached when I was going to be able to receive communion, I did nothing the day and night before,

"Hurry up, Lord, I can't wait any longer. Shorten the hours, make the sun go faster, for my heart fails with the desire for Holy Communion."

Come and feel the offenses that are continually committed against me by the creatures. Ah! do not deny me the relief of your kind

I will not leave you alone with your sufferings and afflictions. Rather I will return the favor to you through my company."

At daybreak, I went to church with a great desire to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I approached my confessor without saying a word of this desire.

"Today I want you to be deprived of Holy Communion." This was so me that I often started crying.

Since Jesus wanted me to resign myself to disappointment, I gave in so that He would not scold me.

Who could have imagined that after so many expectations and desires, I would have to do without you!

I know that I must obey you in everything. But, tell me my good Jesus, can I remain without you?

Will I have the courage and strength to leave church without bringing you home with me?

Once, while I was talking like this, I felt an unusual warmth within me. Then a flame of love was lit in me and I heard his Voice say to me inwardly:

"Be calm, be calm, I am already in your heart. Why are you scared? Don't be sad. I want to dry your tears myself.

you would not have inspired my confessor to put me off as he did!" And I implored Jesus not to allow such paradoxes.

Because, without him, I could not help but do wrong and I would make many dizziness.

Because Jesus wants to make my soul in love and bring it to suffer out of Love, he led me to immerse myself in the infinite ocean of his Passion.

I so wicked and so unable to respond to your Love? Knowing that I must love you back,

I am afraid that you will leave me because of my indifference. However I see you

"My beloved, the things of the past have done nothing more than prepare you a little. Now I come to work. I want your heart to be willing to enter the immense ocean of my excruciating Passion.

you will be able to understand the Love that consumed me when I suffered for you.

Tell yourself this: "Who is the one who has suffered so much for me? And what am I, so vile creature?"

And you will not repel the wounds and sorrows of the passion that you will suffer out of love for me. Inflamed by love, your soul will accept the cross I have prepared for you.

your suffering will seem like a shadow to you. It will seem sweet to you and you will reach a point where you can no longer live without suffering."

Nevertheless, my nature trembled at the thought of the suffering I would have to

So I prayed to Jesus to give me enough strength and courage and to make me experience love through the sufferings to which he called me.

does not feel a transport of love for what she undertakes, she cannot be motivated to accomplish her work.

Thus encouraged by Jesus, I began to meditate on his Passion, which did a lot of good to my soul.

the Passion of Jesus made its way into my heart, soul and body, in which the sufferings of the Passion will be manifested.

Seeing how great distance there was between him and me, I felt completely devastated.

A God of all Charity who suffers a lot for you! And what about you? Where are the sufferings you carry out of love for him? Where are they?"

Jesus was telling me about the pains of His Agony and His Sufferings of Love for me.

For fear that something serious would happen to me, I wanted to make a diversion by going out on the balcony.

Jesus carried His Cross on His Shoulder. He was exhausted and sweating blood.

Jesus kindled so much love in me for his sweet suffering that it was harder for me not to suffer.

In Holy Communion, I asked for nothing more ardently: that I be allowed to experience similar sweet sufferings.

Sometimes he satisfied me by removing from his Crown a thorn that he threw into my heart. Occasionally

-that he squeezed him so tightly that the pain made me lose the use of my senses.

Lest the people around me notice what was happening to me, I prayed to him, saying:

"My Jesus, give me the grace to suffer without my suffering being perceived by others."

I was satisfied for a while, but because of my sins, my sufferings were sometimes observed by others.

If you remain faithful to me, I will reward you when I come back. If you are unfaithful, I will come to punish you."

"Lord, you who are my Life and my All, tell me how I can live without you, my God!

Is it possible that, now, you want to leave me to my own means, deprived of your presence, after you have invited me to leave the outside world and all that goes with it.

"I will do this so that you can understand what you are worth without me. Do not despair.

I will do this to you for your greater good, to prepare your heart to receive the new graces that I will flood you with.

So far, I have helped you visibly. Now, invisibly, I will make you feel your nothingness by leaving you alone with yourself.

I will make sure that you reach the deepest humility. And I will give you my graces, the best,

because the faster you cross this stormy sea, the faster you will reach the port.

The more severe the tests to which I submit to you, the greater the graces I will bestow upon you.

Who could express the pain I felt, the emptiness that invaded my heart, the tears I shed, when I saw my Jesus who, while he blessed me, was leaving me.

And after kissing his Hand a thousand times, this Hand that blessed me from afar, I said to him:

Remember your promise that you will come back to me soon! Always help me and make me totally yours."

Because Jesus had been my All, without him I now had no consolation. Everything around me suddenly turned into bitter sorrow.

It seemed to me that I could hear the creatures mocking me and repeating myself in silent language:

"You see what your Lover, your Beloved, is doing to you; where is he now?" When I looked at the water, the fire, the flowers, even the familiar stones in my room, everything seemed to say:

"Oh! you, the creatures of my Lord, give me news of Him! Tell me where I can find it!

He told me he will come back soon, but who among you can tell me when he will come back, when I will see him again?"

The nights were endless vigils, the hours and minutes were like centuries and brought me nothing but desolation. I felt like I was about to collapse.

My heart and breathing stopped, and I sometimes felt as if my whole being was frozen, invaded by a feeling of death.

They talked about it a lot among themselves and attributed my suffering to a physical illness.

They insisted that I meet with the doctor. This was done, but did not bring me any good.

My soul knows that she is unable to do anything without Jesus and that everything is due to her.

He is the true spiritual director who teaches my soul how to remain humble and abandoned through prayer, Holy Communion and visits to the Blessed Sacrament.

Not to recognize that all that has been accomplished in me is indebted to the overabundance of the Lord's graces would be pure deception on my part.

Without his graces and light, in fact, I would have done nothing good: only evil. Who else but my kind Jesus has distanced me from the frivolities of the world?

He opened in me the way that led me to the immense sea of his Passion. It was through him that I experimented

that he plays a trick on me by withdrawing from my sight, I fully experience that,

As I try to do what I used to do before, I hear these words repeating to me: "If you remain faithful to me, I will come to reward you. If you are unfaithful, I will punish you."

I really don't have the success I had when he was with me visibly and noticeably.

My heart was beating faster, although not in the same ineffable way as before. He had put me to the test a little harshly, without telling me anything.

When, finally, the period of scarcity was over and I had finished everything Jesus wanted to do my best,

Tell me what happened in you, your doubts, your fears and your difficulties, so I can teach you how to lead you into the future when I am away."

"Lord, without you I was unable to do well. From the beginning, meditation disgusted me a lot. I didn't have the courage to offer you all that.

I did not want to remain in communion with you, because I missed the attraction of your Love. The emptiness and pain I felt made me feel the agonies of death.

To counter the pain of being alone, I tried to complete everything. When I was late, it seemed like I was wasting time.

The fear that when you returned you would punish me for my infidelities kept me going.

My inner suffering increased when I thought that you, my God, are continually offended.

I could not make acts of reparation or visits to the Blessed Sacrament without you.

You could have helped me, but I couldn't find you. Now that you're with me, tell me what I should have done."

Do not look for reasons why your prayer is arid, because this causes more distractions.

"Like a lamb that allows the shearer's knife to scratch it slightly, you, when you see yourself shaken, beaten and alone,

-as a sacrifice of praise, satisfaction and reparation for the offenses that are done to me.

will then rise like a fragrance of incense to my Throne They will wound my Heart with love.

I don't want you to be sad when you don't linger there, deprived of the magnetic power of my Love.

Do your best to receive me well, and thank me after receiving me. Ask me for the graces and help you need and don't worry.

I tell you this because the thoughts I am currently giving you about major sufferings may give you more courage in minor suffering.

think of the Agony of death that I suffered for you in the Garden of Gethsemane. Stand close to me so that you can compare your suffering to mine.

Then you will have to see me alone and abandoned by my greatest friends. You will find them asleep because they have omitted their prayers.

I was sweating the blood to the point of wetting the ground. And add to all this the abandonment of my Father.

Try to dry my Blood and relieve my very bitter Agony by offering me your slight sorrows.

For the deprivation of me is by itself the hardest and most bitter pain I can inflict on the souls dear to me.

Know also that your sufferings and your conformity to my Will give me much relief and consolation.

-to the acts of reparation that you make to me in the Sacrament of My Love -- which I have instituted for you..

In this way, I obey the one who calls me from Heaven to immolate myself on the altar.

"Whoever wants to, can come back to me through the sacraments. To some I will give consolations, to others strength:

so that the supreme divine plan, which is the absolute glorification of the Father, may be fulfilled there.

You will then give me your first wish for love. This will be our first intimate encounter.

Your last thought and affection of the evening will be to receive my Blessing,

You will take this last kiss of love with the promise to unite with me in the Blessed Sacrament.

You will make other visits as best you can, according to the occasions, focusing entirely on my Love."

As Jesus spoke, I felt His grace pouring into my heart, as if He wanted to consume me in His Love.

"My good Teacher, I implore you to always stay close to me, so that, under your guidance, I will always be willing to do well.

-that I can do everything well with you and that, without you, I do everything wrong."

"I will try to satisfy you on this point, as I have done on many others. I only want your good will.

In truth, I have to admit that he was always doing more than he promised me. And then I managed to please him.

even though I was told that what was happening in me was just a whimsical escape.

The days I had spent without Jesus, I couldn't even come to a good thought. I was unable to say a single word in the spirit of charity.

he had no other thought than to prepare this soul to receive new and heavier crosses.

His strategy is to attract the soul through grace so that it attaches itself to his Love.

One day, after Holy Communion, I felt attached to him as if with golden laces. He dyes me with words of love such as: "Are you really willing to do what I want?

"Would you be willing, out of love for me, to do so with good grace?" Know that if you are willing to do whatever I want, then,

And I replied, "My Love and my All, is it possible that you give me something more beautiful, more holy, more adorable than yourself? Also, why do you ask me if I am ready to do what you desire?

-even if your desire was to tear me into pieces. Yes, I'm willing to do that, if you like it.

I have surrendered myself to you, Holy Bridegroom. Do in me and on me all that you please.

Do with me whatever you desire, but always give me new graces, since I cannot do anything on my own."

To this question, which he asked me for the second time, I felt crushed and devastated.

You seem to be suspicious of me, while I trust you completely. I feel my soul ready to overcome all the trials to which you will be willing to submit to me."

"Very good! I want to purify your soul from any defect that might stand in the way of my Love in you.

I want to know if you are really loyal to me, enough to be all mine. And for you to prove to me that everything you have told me is true,

I will put you to the test in a very bitter battle. You have nothing to fear and you will not suffer any evil.

The battle is ready. The enemies are hidden in the darkness, ready to fight you a bloody battle.

by the weapons of your virtues, which you will wield in opposition to their vices, you will be able to triumph over them forever.

For after your victory, I will make my permanent and permanent residence in you.

My imagination was filled with black ghosts wanting to devour me alive. Already, I felt surrounded on all sides by infernal spirits.

Don't leave me alone with my soul so discouraged. Don't you see that the demons are pressing me with rage. They're not even going to leave my dust behind.

The only thought you could leave me alone in this diabolical trial terrifies me.

To whom should I address my pleas for practical instructions on how to triumph over the enemy?

Inspired by those that My Most Holy Mother said to the Archangel Gabriel, I say to you with all the strength of my heart:

that his own judgment is more accurate and better balanced than mine. It's no surprise that she falls then.

However, do not neglect the prayers you usually do. When you feel particularly threatened,

-that you let him know everything that is happening in you now, as well as everything that must happen in the future, omitting nothing.

Remember that you will be surrounded by thick darkness -- as thick as the darkness experienced by a blind man.

but are unable to do so because they are forced by my Will to endure a great and ignominious defeat.

Be brave. If you are faithful to me, I will fill you with strength and abundant graces to triumph over them."

Who will be able to describe the change that was taking place in me? Oh! what horror grips me!

The love for my kind Jesus that I felt so strong a moment earlier suddenly turned into fierce hatred, causing me indescribable suffering.

My soul felt tortured at the thought that this God who had been so kind to me was now abhorred and blasphemed as if he were an implacable enemy.

My inability to hold the grains of my rosary in my hands and kiss them to pieces put me to pieces. Such resistance in me made me tremble from head to toe. Oh! my God, what torture!

I believe that if there were no suffering in hell, the suffering of not loving God would constitute hell. So hell was, is, and will be horrible!

Sometimes the demons placed before me all the graces that God had bestowed upon me, making them appear to me to have been pure inventions of my fantasy.

And they insisted that I have a freer and more comfortable existence. Whereas, in the past,

the demons were now sowing me by saying: Do you see the great good that Jesus wanted for you?

See how you were rewarded for responding to her graces! He left you in our hands, as you deserve.

Now you are ours, entirely ours. It's all over for you! You have become our toy!

I was, by indignation and despair, drawn to tear it to pieces. Having done so, I cried burning tears and kept kissing the torn pieces.

-that the act of tearing them apart came from the devil with uncontrollable force

Immediately after, as I reflected on what was happening to me, I felt my soul tortured by grief. Seeing what they had done, the demons believed they had won and they were jubilant.

All we have to do is bring you to hell body and soul, and that's what we're going to do soon."

The poor demons could not see inside my soul. There I was always united to Jesus,

-for whom I cried and I constantly kissed the pieces of image. They got angry when they saw me praying and prostrating me on the ground.

From time to time, they would pull on my dress or stir the chair where I was leaning. They sometimes scared me so much

-that I began to believe that I could free myself from them on my own. These things often happened at night when I was in bed.

I was forced to keep my eyes open so that I could resist when they came to take me to hell.

In this state of mind, my hair stood on my head like needles. My whole body was covered in a cold sweat

The demons led me to believe that I had committed many wicked crimes, never committed before, and that it was therefore useless for me to hope that God would have mercy on me.

"How can you live so hostile to God, so cold to Him? Do you know this God whom you have tortured, blasphemed and hated so much? Did you dare to offend this great God who surrounds you on all sides? And don't forget that you were offending him in front of his own eyes.

-en m'étouffant à la gorge pour me faire croire que j'étais en train de mourir.

I felt the earth open under my feet and red flames emerge from the ground and envelop me.

he made me understand that there was no offense in everything that happened to me, because

From time to time, Jesus would come to me with comforting words, especially when

It emitted supernatural rays of Light, and the expression it took would have been impossible to perceive by someone who would never have had the full ability to understand these things.

Doubts, I fell into a deep state of sadness and anxiety. I want to talk to you here about:

They managed to convince me that after so many sins and hatred of God, it was brazen to approach him and receive the God sacrament.

They also managed to convince me that if I received Communion, Jesus would not come and that instead a very wicked demon would come with several violent torments to cause my eternal death.

It is true that after Holy Communion, I received indescribable and mortal suffering. I was reduced to a state of immobility.

-when I remembered that obedience required that I not remain in this state.

I sometimes asked my confessor for permission to abstain from communion so as not to experience this agony of death,

However, on several occasions I abstained, anticipating the war that demons would wage against me. Other times, I would commune without preparation or thanks for not suffering too much.

In the evenings, while I prayed or meditated, the demons terrified me and prevented me from praying,

I lived through this cruel ordeal for three years, with the exception of a reprieve of about a week, where the attacks were mixed.

Anyone who has not been called by God to support such struggles will probably find it hard to believe that I may have experienced such trials.

-to unite my spirit with Jesus who suffered in his humanity to redeem man from the loss of grace,

to communicate to him the spirit of "Jesus Triumphant", that is, of Jesus who triumphed over the world.

"It is clear that you, wretched scoundrels, have no way of occupying your time other than satisfying your taste for idiocies.

Keep going and when you are tired you will stop. Meanwhile, I, a tiny creature, have something else to do.

In such remarks, the demons, enraged, made even more noise. They approached me ostentatiously and with implausible violence. While they pretended to take me to take me elsewhere,

their infernal mouths exuded a horrible and suffocating stench that totally enveloped me.

"Liars that you are, you pretend to have power to bring me, but, if it were true, you would have done it the first time.

As a result of these remarks, they screamed and scolded like chained dogs trying to catch a thief.

You completely missed your shot and a soul was taken from you and returned to the arms of my good Jesus. You now have a good reason to lament."

"You, poor unfortunate people, since you do not feel well, I will relieve you of your illness."

And I prostrated myself and prayed for the conversion of the most hardened sinners by making acts of love to my merciful Jesus for the conversion of sinful souls.

I then offered this new suffering as reparation for the outrages continually committed against God. I said ironically:

"Vile engeance, aren't you ashamed to lower yourself as low as to try to scare the pure nothingness that I am?

Then, biting their lips, they would sack and shout invective at me, trying to make me consecrate and hate the good Lord.

Feeling unspeakable pain when I heard them blaspheme the Holy Name of God, I reflected on the goodness of the Lord who deserves the total love of the

offering him to God as reparation for the blasphemy committed against him by those who remember him only through swearing.

"Accept my acts of love and gratitude in compensation for the lack of love and gratitude of sinners."

"I don't feel concerned about what awaits me in the future, which is whether I will go to Heaven or hell.

I only want to love the Good God and make him loved by others. The present time is given to me,

-to make him ever more favorable to me, I who was created by his Goodness and Love.

My only concern is to love and make my God love. He will give me what he wants: I accept everything in advance for his glory."

-to do everything to never offend him voluntarily, even at the cost of his life,

-not to fear having done wrong when there is not in itself the will to do wrong.

Know that I do not intend to think about whether or not I did wrong. My intention is to always love God more.

It is enough that I have this intention, even if I sometimes offend God. Freed from all fear, my soul feels free to travel the heavens in search of my own Good."

Who could describe the anger of the demons when they saw that their maneuvers turned to their confusion.

On the other hand, as a result of their temptations and traps, my soul seemed to acquire a more ardent love for God and my neighbor.

-I thanked him, offering everything for the atonement of the offenses committed continually in the world.

And I told them, "Neither you nor I have the right to destroy our lives. You can torment me, but the result is that I earn more.

Seeing my poor health, my family sent me to the countryside to regain my strength.

One day, in the countryside, the demons wanted to make a last assault. It was so hard for me that I came on the verge of losing consciousness. Around the evening, I actually lost consciousness and was reduced to the state of moribund.

Think a little about how man treats God, his Creator and his greatest Benefactor.

I saw his bloody body, full of wounds, cut off and left for dead. I didn't want him to suffer like that.

Then Jesus said to me, "Have you observed the enormous offenses committed against me by those who walk the path of iniquity?

-as a victim of reparation for the many violations committed against this Justice,

-that my Heavenly Father may want to give conversion to sinners who, with their eyes closed, drink from the poisoned fountain of evil.

If you refuse, first, you will not be able to participate in the graces for which you bravely fought.

-that I will come into you to suffer all the outrages committed against me by men.

-that of raising you to a glory proportional to the sufferings that I will present to you.

I will give you the assistance, guidance and comfort of my Most Holy Mother,

Thus he entrusted me to His Most Holy Mother who, with joy, seemed to accept me. With gratitude,

I found myself in terrible sufferings of annihilation that I had never experienced before.

like an earthworm that knows nothing but to crawl on the ground. For this reason, I turned to God and said to Him:

I see that if you do not relieve me, I will end up annihilated in my nothingness. Give me to suffer, I accept it.

However, I beg you to give me more strength, because in this state I feel that I will die."

The visits of the Lord and the Blessed Virgin alternated almost continuously, especially when I had been attacked by demons.

For the more willing I was to suffer, the more furious they were against me.

The suffering inflicted on me by the demons was indescribable. They now seem to me like shadows,

-to repair for the very great and numerous offenses committed by men against God.

I am willing to suffer for His greater Glory and for the good of my neighbor, as God wills.

After several invitations from Jesus and His Most Holy Mother, I felt once again about to faint.

In these sad times, their pride is so great that it has even infected the air they breathe.

His smell spread everywhere and reached the Father's Throne in Heaven. As you can understand, this miserable condition closed the gates of Heaven for them.

Don't you want to lessen the suffering that this terrible crown of thorns produces in me?"

With each movement of my head, the pains became greater. I felt the thorns penetrate my eyes, ears, neck, and all the way to my mouth, triggering spasms, in such a way that I could not take any food.

For two to three days, I remained in this state of suffering. By refraining from eating, I reduced spasms.

When they calmed down and I started to take some food again to restore me, my Jesus immediately and noticeably took my head in his hands and squeezed.

The pains were renewed and more intense than before. Sometimes I completely lost my senses and fainted.

Seeing me suffering and being unable to get me to take any food, believed that I had contracted this indisposition because I no longer wanted to stay in the countryside.

They attributed each refusal of food to my whims, with the goal of my quick return to the city.

One night I was sitting at the table and suffering in a way that prevented me from opening my mouth.

My family, first with gentleness and then with indignation, demanded that I obey and eat.

In order not to be seen like this, I retreated to my room, where I continued to cry.

I begged my Jesus and the Blessed Virgin to give me the strength to endure this trial.

-it is a hard torment for me to see my family so bored by what is happening to me, and

This feeling is so strong in me that, without me knowing why, I can't help but hide so that no one can see me like this.

"When I am surprised and do not have time to hide my suffering and tears, I feel devastated and as if my whole being melts like snow in a fire.

My body then experiences an abnormal heat that makes me sweat profusely and then makes me tremble with cold.

O my good Jesus, only you can change this state of affairs. Keep me hidden from the sight of others.

Give my family to realize that I only move away from them to pray. And I would love very much, O my God,

As I relieved myself of my burden through tears, prayers, and promises, Jesus showed Himself to me surrounded by countless enemies.

My adorable Jesus seemed to want to free himself from the stinky feet that oppressed him.

He looked around as if he was looking for a friend who would set him free. I noticed that there was no one there to offer him help.

Realizing the immense affront that was being done to Jesus, I cried a lot. I would have liked to go to the middle of these rabid wolves to free him. But I realized that I wasn't capable, and I didn't dare.

So, from afar, I prayed fervently to Jesus that He would make me worthy to suffer the trial in His place -- at least in part.

I said, "Ah! Jesus, if only I could take this burden to relieve you and free you from these enemies."

Then Jesus came to console me, even though I didn't dare to say a single word. He broke the silence and said:

compared to the many offenses committed against me by men. Their blindness keeps them submerged in earthly things,

They repudiated every supernatural truth by giving themselves completely to the search for gold. This threw them into the mud.

-who will raise a dam against this monstrous wave of ingratitudes, which is always increasing in the world of false pleasures?

Come with me and pray, weep, and offer reparations for the offenses they commit against my Father.

Oh! do not leave me alone with so many disappointments that tear my heart apart.

Know that everything you suffer now is nothing, compared to what you will suffer in the future.

Have I not repeated many times that I want from you an imitation of my Life. See how different you are from me!

So, take courage and don't be afraid, because you will be able to find a way to help me."

They hurried to take me to the city to be examined by doctors. I was unable to explain what was happening to me.

-that I was going to have to undergo a medical examination. So I was crying and I complained to Jesus, saying to him:

"How many times, my good Jesus, have I told you that I want to suffer with you, but only in secret!

Oh! when will I have peace with my family? Only you, my good Jesus, can arrange all this.

Don't you hear what they say and intend to do! Some think in one way, others in another.

I am never left alone and this prevents me from regaining my lost peace. Please help me in these worries -- some worse than the others -- that make me falter."

While your eyes are fixed on what they are doing and saying about you, I am not free to act in you as I want.

You are wasting your time and you may not reach the state of life to which you have been called.

"Don't be concerned about the people around you. Accept their silences. Be joyful and submissive in everything.

be continual acts of reparation to appease divine justice. Offer me everything."

From that day on, a war of feints and silences was established between my family and me.

-the others would pressure me to follow the advice of the doctor who even wanted me to be kept at night.

Nevertheless, it was easy for them to notice that things were happening to me that they couldn't understand.

After a long period of time, unable to endure all this any longer, I gathered my courage and complained to my Lord:

The situation has reached such a point that they are depriving me of things that are particularly dear to me. I am deprived of just about everything, even the sacraments.

Others looked at me with ill will and with hateful looks. They were looking for ways to take my life.

Also, don't you want to become like me and desire to suffer, at least in part, the sufferings I have endured for the creatures?"

Over time, I reached a point where I was ashamed of myself: I blushed when I was seen by someone.

-having to converse with others, including people in my family, was a great sacrifice for me.

Seeing that the treatment prescribed by the first doctor had no effect, my family made me see by other doctors, who were also unable to improve my health.

"Lord, don't you see that my sufferings are becoming more apparent, not only for my family, but also for many strangers who now know my business?

What happened to me to keep these terrible fears coming back to me again and again?

Only you can allow my sufferings to remain secret. I beg your goodness to hear me."

At first, Our Lord acted as if He did not hear me. And my suffering was increasing.

"Come to me, my child, I want to console you. Because you are suffering, you are right to lament.

But remember how much more I suffered out of Love for you. In a way, my sufferings were hidden too.

Nevertheless, my Father's Will was that I suffer publicly. On this I faced all the contempt, disgrace and confusion, even to be deprived of my clothes:

"Holy Father, accept my confusion and disgrace in reparation for the many sins brazenly committed in public, which are sometimes great scandals for little children.

Forgive these sinners and give them the heavenly light so that they can realize the ugliness of sin and return to the path of virtue."

"And if you want to imitate me, don't you also have to participate in this kind of suffering, which I have endured for the good of all?

Don't you know that the most beautiful gifts I can give to the souls dear to me,

are they the crosses and trials resembling those I have experienced in my Humanity?

You are only a little child on the Way of the Cross and therefore you feel very weak. When you are older and understand how precious it is to simply suffer, then the desire to do so will become greater.

After living six or seven years in this suffering, I got worse and was forced to stay in bed.

Very often I fainted and my mouth and jaw closed so tightly that I couldn't take any food.

When I managed to swallow a few drops of liquid, immediately I had to regurgitate them by vomiting continuously, which always happened to me during my most severe suffering.

After eighteen days of fruitless medication, a confessor was called to confess me. When he came and found me in this state of petrification, he placed me under obedience and ordered me to free myself from this state of mortal lethargy.

He made the sign of the Cross and helped me to free myself from this nervous disease.

When I was healed, he said, "Tell me what's wrong." I remained silent on everything, but I said to him only:

Father, this must be something of the devil." Without further questioning, he said to me:

So I regained the freedom of movement for my arms and the ability to freely open my mouth.

I conclude that what happened was a miracle that happened through the holiness of this priest.

"If I had continued in this state, my life would have ended in no time. But here I am rather engaged in a new life."

I will always be grateful to God for restoring my health through the holiness of His minister.

From time to time, he would take me back to my old state, but only when I was alone.

After recovering my health, I returned to church for a period of time to fulfill my religious duties.

When I received Jesus in Holy Communion, He told me when to set aside time for suffering.

Because my sufferings were announced to me in advance by Jesus himself, I did not believe that it was necessary to tell my confessor about it.

I would have become the proudest soul in the world, even if I was guided by the holiness of my spiritual father.

"From this day on, when you come to church, or before communion, or after your thanksgiving, come to me in the confessional and I will give you the blessing so that you can get yourself out of your state of suffering without me having to go to your home."

-he will invite me to keep him company by participating in the sufferings that some perverse men were subjecting to him.

if you want to transfer your pains to me, have the kindness to resuscitate me yourself, for if my family wanted to have the confessor looked for him, he would not be available."

Be quiet, confident and resigned so that everything in you rests in me. This will make your soul luminous and make all your passions remain calm.

After these Words, I could not oppose Him and resigned myself to His Will. I offered the Holy Communion that I had just experienced as if it were my last.

Thus, before the Blessed Sacrament, I bid Jesus a final farewell and left the church. Despite my resignation, I felt a little uncomfortable when I thought about what was going to happen to me.

So I wept and prayed that the Lord would give me new strength to revive me if I lost consciousness.

It was a very bitter, new and extremely heavy suffering for me. It was the worst and heaviest I had suffered so far.

Entering this state of extreme suffering, I resigned myself to doing God's Will and was ready to die.

Seeing my condition, my family sent for a priest -- other than my usual confessor who was absent.

This priest, I say in charity, who might have intended to help me, refused to come to the house.

Thus, for ten days, I was in this state of deadly petrification, but without dying.

Finally, on the eleventh day, the confessor I had had for my first communion came. He resuscitated me as my other confessor did.

From that moment on, I was involved in a long-running war with several priests. They said I was feigning my condition to look like a saint.

A few said that I deserved to be beaten with sticks and whips so that I would not fall back into this lamentable state again.

My family believed it was their duty to alleviate my suffering and looked for priests who would come. God knows how many refusals they have suffered.

May God forgive all those who caused me this suffering. I would like the Lord to compensate a hundred times all those who suffered with me, especially my mother.

You can imagine how painful my subjection to these priests was, because I absolutely needed a priest to resuscitate me.

And how many times I resisted him when he asked me again to be a victim, so that I could share his hardest sufferings!

"Lord, I will accept the status of victim, provided that you promise me that you will resuscitate me without the intervention of a priest.

Otherwise, I don't want to submit to this heavy yoke." I even resisted in this way for three days.

"Lord, you are not keeping the promise you made to me. You told me that everything would happen between you and me only.

Now you want a third person to resuscitate me and eventually force me to reveal to her what's going on between you and me.

-the humiliations that my family has to endure at the hands of those priests who do not believe us?

And you say it's not appropriate for me to be able to resuscitate myself? Could we not avoid these complications and remain peaceful.

I would be happy to take upon myself your sufferings as often as you love, and you could be happy because you would resuscitate me whenever you wanted. And so you would not be dissatisfied with me in my acceptance of your Will."

Rather he said to me, "My child is not afraid. I am the one who gives night and day. Currently, it is a time for the night, but the time for light will come soon.

I gave them the faculty to know, to judge, and to encourage the soul to act without perplexity, in accordance with the criterion of Leviticus.

My priests also have the power to suspend or ignore that which, in accordance with their considerations, does not meet the criterion of Revelation."

Needless to say, after these Words of Jesus, I remained silent, with the intention of submitting to his clearly expressed Will.

-while I was confronted with so many strange and contradictory things? Because I was ordered it, I will say the following:

For example, they allowed me to remain immobilized and petrified for more than eighteen consecutive days: it was truly a death without dying,

In short, I was like a dead woman (while I was still living), I was at the mercy of priests who,

When a priest finally decided to resuscitate me, he didn't even have the courtesy to say, "Be patient and do what God expects of you."

Rather, with harsh reprimands in the kind that are given to dissolute or disobedient people, he said things like:

Oh! how wicked I have been and as I still am, since I still feel vividly in me the accusations that I am only a capricious and disobedient soul!

I think that the deep reason for my feelings is that my thoughts and actions are very different from those of my kind Jesus.

I have often complained to my very sweet Jesus -- even to the point of feeling resistance to him --,

Oh! how good the Lord was to me, wicked as I am. In my resistance, he pretended to lose interest in me and said nothing.

He was leaving, but only for a very short time. He then reappeared and found me in the desolation caused by his absence.

Then he plunged me back into the mortal suffering that he himself gave me directly.

"My father, it is not in my power to fall or not to fall into this state of lethargy.

But I am telling the truth when I say that the suffering of not being able to obey you, is very painful for me.

-without which I will never be accepted with pleasure by him. I have a lot of regrets.

These words of humility came from the bottom of my heart, which was throbbing with love for my dearest Jesus.

-that if the Lord did not want to assure me that I could be freed from the state of petrification without the intervention of a priest, and

many sins committed continually by the majority of men, then I will resist him and oppose him to get what I want.

At that time, God increased the cholera epidemic day by day to the point that our inhabitants were frightened.

"My child, if I had meditated on what man would do with my Humanity, I would never have accomplished the Redemption of mankind.

A great Love consumed me and made me sacrifice everything for them. For the eternal salvation of creatures,

I offered to my Eternal Father the trials and sufferings unjustly produced in me

Know that, to imitate what I have done during my thirty-three years of earthly life,

-And you have to live them in the same way they were felt by me. This is how I ask you to imitate my Life, if you wish.

"So that I can find in you the welcome that is most pleasing to me, do the heroic act

Remember that these people are my children and that they have been redeemed by my Blood. If you truly live in Love, you will submit and give everything for their salvation."

-with the exception of a few people acting madly and who had to pay their contribution at death.

We saw people at our feet, who until then resisted any religious feeling and who, during their whole lives, had not deigned to pass in front of a church. At the call of this excellent preacher, they surrendered to grace and produced fruits of eternal life."

His powerful word reached all places with an anointing of grace that brought much to penance. And do you want to know his name?

It has a good name. He is called D. Coletto (an allusion to cholera), the scourge of God."

Meanwhile, the Lord was preparing another mortification for me. She hit me after the scourge of cholera had passed.

The one I had at that time was a member of a religious order and he was called to a sober life by his superiors.

I was satisfied with him because he was the only one who didn't make me suffer. All the uproar I told above was done to me by other priests while this confessor was in the countryside.

And I suffered a lot from his absence, because more willingly than the others, he consented to resuscitate me.

I am the Lord of hearts and I can turn or twist them as I please. If your confessor did you good, he was only my ambassador,

I will do the same with other confessors and give them the graces to fulfill their function. So what do you have to fear?

-that you are always willing to accomplish all that I want from you. Otherwise you may not be preferred to others for the role of victim."

Reflecting on these Words that were given to me directly by Jesus, my heart developed such strength.

Subsequently, God inspired me to submit to the care of the priest who confessed me when I was a young girl. I have never regretted this choice.

You confused me when you took advantage of what seemed damaging to my soul and for your greater Glory, you turned this situation into benefits for me.

Despite his pressure and insistence, my heart remained closed to the other confessor.

Therefore, I could not free myself internally. He tried in every way to get me to talk.

But the mere thought of having to tell someone else what was going on between Jesus and me produced so much embarrassment and aversion in me.

If I was asked why I didn't want the other confessor to resuscitate me, my answer would be that I felt unable to explain to him what was happening to me.

He would have taken great care of my soul if I had told him what was going on between Jesus and me.

I believe that the reason why my first confessor could not make me speak was simply divine goodwill.

I must add that my new confessor had a special talent for penetrating my interior.

I felt within me the will and patience to express myself. Little by little, I opened my soul to him.

I let him read in me as in a book, page by page, same word by word, including the special graces that the Lord had bestowed upon me.

It was as if my good Jesus bothered to remind me of everything he had already told me and everything that had happened to me.

Sometimes, when I felt a reluctance to reveal something to him, he would reprimand me a lot and even threaten to leave me.

I can say the same thing about the other confessor, who kept asking me one thing and then another. Sometimes he would ask me what was causing my lethargy and what the effects were.

"When the soul is obedient, we are both more secure and quiet, because the Lord would not allow His minister,

I said to myself: "It is better to tell him everything right away than to remain silent, since he already knows everything. And if I remain silent, who knows if he will not then have to change his way of doing things."

All this did not happen with my confessors of previous years, who not only never questioned me or tried to seek the truth about my petrification states:

However, I was very keen to know whether or not I was adjusted to God's Will when I carried the cross He sent me. I suffered a lot when I was unable to find the patience to wear it.

On the other hand, when the second confessor learned that the Lord was showing Himself to me and asked me if I wanted to fulfill the role of victim, he told me that I should say to Jesus:

"Lord, I cannot and should not accept the suffering to which you want to subject me, until I have permission from my confessor.

If you want me to be a victim, go to him first to ask for his consent, so that he does not have resentment towards me."

My child, the iniquities of men are so numerous that the balance between my Love and my Justice is upset.

The preponderance of the forces of evil compels me to bring upon men a violent war by which I will inflict an unprecedented destruction of human flesh."

to be sanctuaries in which I intended to rejoice. Rather, they turned them into putrid septic tanks.

And what is the cause of their great perversion? It is nothing else, my child, but the excessive possessions I gave them. Now I will teach them how to return to their duty through the harshest punishments."

As a result of Jesus' words, my heart was flooded with bitterness at the thought that such a good God would be.

And who could also say what my suffering was when I thought of those who were going to be punished by the scourge of war.

For them I felt a great desire to suffer rather than to see them delivered to these terrible punishments.

"O Holy Bridegroom, spare them this scourge of your Justice. If their iniquities are as great as you say,

there is still the immense sea of your Blood into which you can plunge them. Thus, they will be able to come out purified, and your righteousness will be satisfied.

I will place you between the two, between my righteousness and the iniquity of men. When I want to apply my Righteousness by sending plagues upon them, finding you in the middle,

After these Words, I remained dismayed and totally confused. My nature was shaken, and I trembled.

But seeing that Jesus was waiting for a yes or a no, I say, forcing myself to speak:

"O my Divine Bridegroom, I am ready to make whatever sacrifices you will, but given my past experience,

-when he comes from time to time, ask that I not offer myself for suffering without first having his consent?

Then Jesus, my Bridegroom, who knew how to sacrifice everything out of obedience, said to me:

"May it never happen that I act against my Blood wife. Go to your confessor and ask for his acquiescence.

If he wants to listen to you, tell him in detail what I told you Tell him that all this will not only be

that you submit to these uninterrupted and almost mortal sufferings. For in the future state in which you are invited to be - through obedience - I will purify you in a way

I will arrange your last transformation in me so that the two of us can become one.

I have been living in a state of continuous suffering for twelve years. I don't know how much longer it will last.

My nature would have been alarmed. I could hardly have mustered enough courage to lend myself to such a sacrifice.

-if he had known the sacrifice he would have to make every morning to resuscitate me,

I can assure you that I have always been a lover of this sweet suffering. I have always been more resigned when I was in continual suffering than when I lacked it.

In fact, when I began to live in this situation of constant victim, I did not know how to appreciate the value of the cross.

My confessor, to whom I had made known what my most kind Jesus wanted from me, said to me:

Truth be told, I will be able to make the sacrifice of resuscitating you every morning.

If I experience trouble in my nature, I will overcome them by the grace of God."

When I thought of the creatures that would be spared the terrible scourge of war, my soul gloated. Nevertheless, my nature was beginning to tremble.

And I spent a few days in deep sadness. I was taken to church. After receiving Jesus in my heart, I said to him:

"Very sweet Jesus, see the tormented sea in which my soul is plunged. Rather than

He who allowed me to do in obedience what you expect of me, here I am suddenly troubled and confused.

-and then because I may have to remain in this state without receiving you, which would be for me the greatest suffering.

if I am not allowed to receive you in your Sacrament?" When I had unloaded my heart from his anxieties, I cried a lot. Sympathizing with me, Jesus said to me politely:

Offer yourself as a victim in reparation for the many offenses I continually receive from men.

Until now, you came to me, but I assure you now that I will come to visit you without missing.

These visits may be short, but they will always be a benefit and a great consolation for your soul. Are you satisfied?

I ask you this for the reparation of the sins that other creatures have committed."

In order to satisfy holy obedience -- which is mercilessly imposed on me --, I will do my best.

Concerning the promise already mentioned that was made to me by Jesus, I will say that it has always been irreproachable.

He has kept his promise from the beginning so far, and I believe he will keep it until the end.

"Beloved of my Heart, I have placed you in this condition so that I can more freely come to you and speak to you.

Indeed, from the beginning, I freed you from the outside world and the opportunities to deal with creatures.

I have thus purified you internally so that no thought or affection of the earth remains in you. I replaced them with heavenly thoughts all filled with love for me.

so that your body as well as your soul may be at my disposal, to be a perpetual holocaust before me.

There is no one to disturb our conversation or to prevent us from communicating our joys and sufferings to each other.

-as well as the bitterness and oppression that come to me from those who are wicked.

In short, you will take an interest in my things as if they were really yours. I, in the same way, will take an interest in your things

-who, in his haste to be with her, keeps his mind and heart always turned towards her.

He is busy finishing his business so that he can return to her as soon as possible. Once he is there, his eyes are turned to her to see if she shows any signs of regret at his absence.

If someone recklessly wanted to deprive them of their isolation and disturb them, that person would immediately be arrested as a disruptor of the king's peace and would be severely punished.

I acted in a similar way by placing you in this state. Woe betide anyone who would disturb these provisions. It would not only displease me,

If, in return for the many graces that my beloved Jesus bestowed upon me, my heart was not overflowing with grateful love for him,

all of Heaven and earth should point the finger at me -- including future generations -- as the most thankless and despicable soul that has ever existed.

It would be as if a barefoot man covered in dirty rags sulked a very wealthy lord who would invite him.

In exchange for my nothingness, He granted me to possess in common with Him his infinite possessions, on the sole condition that I take care of them.

-but also of my imperfections, which he wants to totally purify in his infinite Perfection.

When he noticed my smallest attachment to unimportant things, he gently urged me to back off and tell me:

"My child, I desire from you an absolute separation from all that is not of me. I want you to consider everything you know to be of the earth

My Heart freezes when you look with pleasure at the things of the earth that are not necessities. They cloud the heavenly things in you and delay

Know that I do not value the things on earth that are not totally necessary. I want you to follow this abject poverty to which I myself have subjected myself, despising everything that was not necessary.

you must consider yourself a poor abandoned child. Only then will you be able to say that you are really poor.

because desiring something that is not given to you, can become cumbersome in your mind.

Resign yourself with holy indifference to the will of others without considering whether it is good or bad."

In the beginning, it was really a very big sacrifice for me. But, quickly, I saw not to think about this or that.

Except for what I really needed, I didn't ask for anything that wasn't offered to me.

Having overcome the previous difficulty, the Lord desired to submit me to a more arduous task. One of the continuous sufferings that came directly to me from Jesus was the episode of vomiting after eating.

When my family gave me something to eat, I would immediately vomit it and become so weak that I couldn't speak anymore.

But I remembered what Jesus told me: "do what you are told." And I didn't want anything else.

"I won't ask for anything until they bring me something. God will take care of things."

And I continued filled with thanks for being able to suffer for the love of Jesus,

I offered everything in reparation for the offenses committed by the sin of gluttony.

I don't know why, but my confessor, who had heard that I was experiencing episodes of vomiting, ordered me to take quinine every day.

And since I couldn't take food until it was given to me, I always heard my stomach growling.

In this state, I felt as if I was in the throes of death, but without dying. This lasted about four months, after which my beloved Jesus said to me:

"Tell your confessor that you are not given food or quinine when you vomit. Illuminated by the divine Light, he will grant you this."

So the confessor granted me that I should take neither food nor quinine. Afterwards though, in order not to get me highlighted, he wanted me to take food once a day. So I had more peace. My hunger disappeared, but not the vomiting. Indeed, every time I took food, I had to return it.

"Tell your confessor to give you permission not to eat at all." But, each time, he refused, saying:

"Accept the food given to you as an act of mortification in reparation for the many offenses done to the Lord by the gluttony of men."

Each time, after a few days, Our Lord would return to the charge and repeat, "Once again, I want you to ask your confessor for permission not to take any food.

Do it nonchalantly and be willing to accept, in obedience, whatever He wants you to do."

Once, when, as Jesus intended, I was asking my confessor again, this one, I do not know why, not only refused to give me the permission requested, but he ordered me to stop my sufferings, as if they were up to me.

Perhaps the reason for his reaction was this: remembering that I had told him that my suffering would last only forty days, while it lasted, he was led to believe that I was not telling him the truth about the state of suffering that was asked of me or about the fact that I should no longer take food.

For reasons unknown to me, he came to the conclusion that I should no longer remain in this situation of victim, and that if I fell back into this state of suffering, he should no longer come to resuscitate me.

I must say here that, in the spirit of obedience, I was well disposed to submit to His directives, especially since my nature demanded to be relieved of the burden of so much mortal suffering that frequently recurred.

However, it seems clear to me that I could never have carried such burdens without special divine intervention.

There was also the suffering of having to submit to everything, even in those things that disgusted me so much (natural necessities): it was really a sacrifice I made to conform to God's Will.

Moreover, without this motive of conformity to the Divine Will, even the greatest saints would have given up.

To Jesus I owe my ability to return to him the immense Love that he has always shown me.

This is how I felt some consolation in my past and was willing to do everything in holy obedience.

Since I was experiencing God's Love and Goodness towards me, I was ready and willing to remain confined to my little bed for as long as the Lord would like, in the state of victim.

Although I had willingly and obediently accepted to be a victim and stay in bed, I began to offer resistance to my ever kind Jesus.

Once, when he appeared to me to communicate his sufferings to me, I said to him:

"My beloved Lord, do not take badly my refusal to suffer. What do you want from me?

But if you want me to do your Will, give the light to my confessor to grant me what you desire.

Otherwise, I will follow His desires and stubbornly oppose Your Will. Truly I will believe that you are not my kind Jesus!"

Our Lord wanted to subject me to a severe test by making me spend an entire night scrambled with Him. With the risk of being found misguided, I maintained my position overnight.

When he came, I would say to him vividly: "My Love, take patience. I need the consent of my confessor so that you can communicate your suffering to me.

Without the consent of my will, which will not bend without the consent of my confessor, you can nevertheless reduce me to annihilation and communicate to me all your sorrows, sorrows and sufferings. (3)»

In this state of suffering in which I found myself, I believed that Our Lord had given proof that He had won. But that wasn't the case.

For in an instant, when I was freed from all suffering, my beloved Jesus drew me to him in a way that made me hesitate.

I found myself bound to him so strongly that no matter how I tried to oppose him, it was impossible for me to get out.

Since I am nothing, it would have been useless for me to resist or try to triumph in a battle with him, he who is omnipotent and who is the Force of the strong.

So, in shame, I said to him, "Forgive me, Holy Bridegroom, for offering you resistance. It wouldn't have been if obedience hadn't forced me."

"Beloved child of my Love, do not be afraid that I will be offended: I am not offended by the gesture of your confessor who gave you this directive. He exercises his ministry with delicacy and conscience and must use means and artifices to discharge his moral responsibility in the face of the bad and the good.

Today is the first day of the year (it was really New Year's Day). Come, I want to give you a gift."

He came to me, hugged me and, pressing his lips against mine, poured into me a liquid, much sweeter than milk, and, kissing me again and again, affectionately he took a ring from his Heart, saying:

"Admire and contemplate well this ring that I have prepared for you, for our marriage, since I will marry you in faith.

-to tell your confessor that it is my desire that you continue to live in this state of suffering.

know that the war that is at a standstill between Italy and Africa will continue until the moment when he gives you permission to live in the state of victim. At that moment, I will stop the war, so that they have peace on both sides."

I then felt as if I was dressed in a garment of suffering that penetrated to the marrow of my bones,

so much I felt unable to resuscitate myself from this mortal state, without the intervention of the confessor.

In my pain, I thought about what I was going to tell him when he would find me in this state of major suffering against his orders.

The milky liquid that Jesus had poured into me produced in me so much love for him that, despite the pain, I longed for love.

This sweetness and satiety that I felt forced me to take some of the food offered by my family after the confessor had resuscitated me. But this food absolutely refused to go down into my stomach.

It was necessary for my confessor to impose it on me in the name of obedience so that I could swallow it. However, I was immediately forced to return it with some of the sweet liquid poured into me by Jesus.

With no further questions, looking at what had happened, my confessor withdrew, saying, "I will come back when I have free time."

I was not only indifferent to this interference of the confessor in relation to what was happening between the Lord and me, but I was very annoyed.

Quickly, I thanked my always kind Jesus, who had allowed my confessor not to ask me any questions.

I really didn't know what to expect for the next day. My confessor returned with a scowling look and, without questioning me, called me a disobedient soul.

because He wants obedience from you and wants nothing that is not done without this beautiful virtue.

So, rather than calling your confessor, from now on you will call the doctors who, by their science, will free you from your nervous disease."

When he had finished rebuffing me, I forced myself to tell him what had happened, and all that the Lord had asked me to tell him.

Hearing me, he changed his mind and assured me that he did not doubt what I had said regarding Jesus, because the words about the war between Italy and Africa were true.

He added about the so-called peace, if it comes soon, as a result of the fact that you will have become a victim again, then I can no longer doubt. If, on the other hand, it was due to other causes...

Thus he consented to me responding to the desire expressed by my good Jesus. And he repeated to me: "We will wait and we will see if this war does not increase and if soon we will have peace."

Four months later, my confessor learned from the newspaper that the peace prophesied by Jesus had been realized.

When he saw me, he said: "Without victims on either side, the war between Italy and Africa has ended; there is now peace between the two."

Because this fact had been prophesied and fulfilled, my confessor became convinced of the action of the Godhead in what was happening to me, and he left me alone and in peace -- something that cannot be achieved if one resists God.

From that day on, Jesus did nothing but prepare me for the mystical marriage he had promised me (4), visiting me more often -

He behaved like a lover who can't help but think about his wife very often, as well as love and visit her.

"I love you until I can stay away from you. I feel like I'm not paid back when I don't see you or talk to you directly and closely.

I am inclined to think that you are alone and that you long for love for me. And I come to see if you need anything."

So he would raise my head, arrange my pillow, put his arms around my neck, kiss me and cover me with kisses over and over again.

As it was summer, he relieved me of the excess heat by refreshing me with a slight breeze that emanated from his sweet Mouth.

Sometimes he would shake something he had in his hands or tap the sheet that covered me so that I would be refreshed, and he would ask me sharply:

And I would say, "You know, my beloved Jesus, when you're near me, I feel better anyway."

he would approach me, and from his mouth he would pour a milky liquid into mine.

He let me attach myself to his very sacred Chest, from which he let me draw torrents of sweetness and strength that gave me a foretaste of the delights of Paradise.

When he saw me in the state of perfect delights, he said to me with his ineffable goodness:

"I want to be truly your All, making me the comfort food not only of your soul, but also of your body." (5)

What about all that I experienced of heavenly love as a result of so many unusual heavenly graces? If I had to say everything that my very sweet Jesus communicated to me, I would risk becoming boring.

To my confessor either I couldn't say everything, because it would have taken far too long.

I will limit myself here to briefly saying what it is enough to know to understand a little the state of a soul that is in full possession of Jesus, the most delicious Bridegroom of the soul.

the sufferings that are delivered to me by my Jesus are at once bitter, gentle and intermittent, himself so full of bitterness.

But if sweetness and bitterness were not given simultaneously to the soul that has become a victim of love, atonement, and reparation,

The body would disintegrate and the soul would quickly join its God.Hence my moans and complaints when I thought He had left me.

When he hid occasionally, I became very mentally ill. It seemed to me that I hadn't seen it in a century.

"O Holy Bridegroom, how can you make me wait so long after you? Don't you know that I can't survive without you?

Come and revive me with your Presence which is for me, light, strength and everything." One day, feeling rejected because of his absence of only a few hours, it seemed to me that he had not appeared to me for several years.

Also, in my suffering, I cried bitter tears. Then he appeared to me, consoled me, and dried my tears.

"I just longed for you. I will stop crying when you promise me that you will not let me wait for you for so long.

Another day, I was still complaining and begging him not to make me wait so long after him. When he saw that I kept crying, he said to me:

If, until now, I have freed you from your outer life and manifested myself to you, now I want to draw your soul to me.

So you can follow me more closely, rejoice me, press more intimately on me. I can show you everything that hasn't been done with you in the past."

Three months passed during which I remained a permanent victim in my bed, where I received

One morning Jesus came to me as a kind and very charming young man of about eighteen years old.

It seemed that his Curls were weaving the thoughts of his Spirit joined with the affections of his Heart.

On his forehead, serene and wide, one could see, as if through a very clear crystal,

My mind became clear and my heart calm at the sight of this very charming Jesus. The effect was such and my passions so repressed that I did not feel the slightest trouble.

Since my soul experienced such a great sense of peace by just seeing him, what would I experience if I could possess his Divinity?

I believe that Jesus could not manifest himself in such great beauty to a soul who would not enjoy perfect calm and deep humility.

On the other hand, if a soul felt such peace and calm that it would not be troubled by disaster and fierce war around it, then

Unlike sunlight, however, the light of Jesus' Eyes did not hurt my sight. And I could fix my gaze on this splendor without any fatigue.

One cannot take one's eyes off this mysterious miracle of beauty that is the dark blue of the Pupils of Jesus.

-to travel the valleys, plains, mountains, skies or the deepest abysses of the earth to find it.

-to make feel I do not know what of his Divinity. Many times this made me exclaim:

what will it be like to enjoy your beatific vision without the mixture of suffering,

you for whom one can endure torrents of suffering, martyrdom or humiliating trials;

you who are inhabited by a mixture of sorrow and pleasure in perfect peace of mind!"

Its appearance is like snow tinged with the color of very beautiful roses. It exudes a majestic and divine nobility.

Its appearance invites fear and reverence, and also confidence. Its appearance is

The confidence that a creature could inspire is a shadow compared to the bright sun that is the confidence inspired by Jesus.

the confidence that Jesus inspires in the soul shines through in his holy Figure, so majestic, so kind.

And the Love he exudes attracts the soul in a way that leaves him no doubt as to the welcome he offers him.

His very graceful Nose descends harmoniously from his blond eyebrows. His Mouth, though small, displays a sweet smile.

When they open to speak, they give the impression that something precious, celestial, is going to be pronounced.

His Voice expresses the sweetness and harmonics of Paradise, able to enchant the most recalcitrant hearts.

-that it touches every fiber of the heart of anyone who hears it, and in less time than it takes to say it

It is so pleasant that all the pleasures of the world are nothing, compared to a single word coming out of his Mouth.

All the pleasures of the world are only simulacra, compared to his sweet Voice. It is efficient and produces great wonders.

To the hearts that listen to him with affection, Jesus sends from Heaven a breath of thrilling Love, which dares, ignites and consumes.

His Fingers, clear and transparent, move with dexterity and are a real enchantment to see when they touch something.

"Oh! how beautiful, totally beautiful you are, my sweet and gracious Jesus! Forgive me for so poorly talking about your beauty.

In a gaffey way, I have tried to describe your beauty, which even your angels are unworthy and unable to describe adequately.

It was through holy obedience that, to the best of my ability, I did it. If my description doesn't have your approval, forgive me.

Blame obedience in the first place, because my feeble attempts do not do justice to your beauty, I am well aware of that."

Had it not been for an explicit order given by virtue of obedience, I would surely never have consented to put on paper,

after showing himself to me in the manner I have previously so left-handedly described, breathed from his mouth a heavenly fragrance that invades me in my body and soul.

As a result of this breath, in less time than it takes to say, he took me with him.

He gave me a body of a very simple shape, resplendent with pure light. I quickly took flight with him, and we traveled the vastness of the heavens.

Since this was the first time I experienced this wonderful phenomenon, I thought, "Really the Lord has come to take me and certainly I will die."

with the difference that, when the soul is united to the body, it perceives every sensation through the senses and transmits them to the powers of the body.

In the other situation, the soul receives all the sensations directly. She instantly understands everything she's going through

It penetrates even the most hidden and imperceptible things -- directly or indirectly -- but only into the Will of God.

The first thing my soul felt when it left my body was to tremble with fear as it followed the flight of my beloved Jesus,

He said to me, "Since you experienced great suffering when you were deprived of my Visual Presence for an hour or so, now fly with me.

Oh! how good it was for my soul to be suspended in the vault of heaven in the company of Jesus!

It seemed to me that I was leaning on him and that he was holding me so that I would not be too far behind him.

Whatever he preceded me, I was attached to him in a firm way so that I could follow him -- leaning towards me and I leaning towards him --, while he supported me and pulled me with his gentle breath. In short, I have a good representation of what happened inwardly, but I don't have the words to describe it with.

After having made these rounds in the immensity of heaven, my beloved Jesus, who finds his delights in the company of men,

What bitterness overwhelmed his sensitive Heart! With a clarity I had never experienced before, I saw him suffer terrible tortures. His adorable Heart appeared to me as that of a dying man,

"My adorable Jesus, how you have changed! You are like a dying man. Lean on me and allow me to participate in your suffering.

Telling me this, he pressed me more intimately on him, and placing his Lips on my mouth, he poured into me a lightning bitterness:

I felt like I was pierced by several knives, spearheads, arrows, stingers and daggers that, one by one, penetrated my soul.

While I was immersed in this extreme suffering, my beloved Jesus brought my soul back into my body and disappeared.

Who could describe the terrible torment that then took over my body! Only Jesus could make this description, he who, every time he communicated sufferings to me, softened them afterwards. People on earth, not only cannot feel such suffering, but cannot even imagine its depth.

that poor and miserable soul who many times imitated his beloved Jesus - one might think that death mocked me.

Although I was not worthy to die then, I knew that death would come soon. She will come in her time, and she will no longer mock me.

"I've been chatting with you many times; I have touched you at least a hundred thousand times. I just equalized the account with you!"

I say this because, on many occasions, I would have left this world had it not been for Jesus, who, after having directly communicated excruciating sufferings to my soul,

And since the sufferings communicated directly to my soul are more terrible than those communicated to my body, I would surely have died many times if it had not been for this wonderful Jesus.

When Jesus saw that I was reaching my limits, that is, I could no longer "naturally" bear my sufferings, He helped me not to succumb.

Sometimes he did it directly (6), sometimes he inspired my confessor to resuscitate me more quickly. In this case, my sufferings, experienced through obedience, were somewhat relieved, but not as much as when Jesus was operating directly.

He would take my soul out of my body, take it with it, and let me see the many sins committed by blasphemy against Charity, or other sins.

I would have lost consciousness if I had not quickly taken some food to make me vomit this purulent matter.

One might think that this happened to me only when Jesus made me see the wickedness committed by those who are considered great sinners.

His Heart was wounded by holy things in themselves, but counterfeited: for example,

Yes, these ill-performed acts made this Heart so holy, so pure and so upright nauseous. Several times he expressed his suffering to me, telling me:

-even in holy places, some people who are said to be devout. These people are sterile, even when they receive the sacraments. They come out of the church tarnished rather than purified

Sometimes Jesus would show me scenes so hurtful to His Heart that they almost made Him fall into agony.

For example, when this priest consumed the Victim, Jesus was forced to quickly leave his heart all soiled by spiritual miseries.

-Jesus was going to be called to come down from Heaven to incarnate in the host,

However, without flinching, by the authority given to him by God, this priest made Jesus descend into the host.

How pity he was the sacramental state in which Jesus then appeared to me. He seemed to want to flee from those unworthy hands.

"Oh! my child, let me pour some of my bitterness into you. I can't hold her any longer.

Have mercy on my condition which has become too painful! Take patience, and let's suffer a little together."

"Lord, I am ready to suffer with you. Yes, if I were given the ability to take all your bitterness, I would gladly do it, in such a way that I do not see you suffering."

Jesus then poured from his Mouth into mine the part of bitterness that I could carry, and said to me:

"My child, what I have poured into you is nothing, but it is all you can receive.

How I would like many other souls to be willing to make the same sacrifice as you out of love for me!

It is not that I cannot pour into them all the bitterness that my Heart contains.

It is so that I can taste the reciprocal and benevolent love of my children."

Even though I did everything to keep her, my stomach refused to accept it. A strong impulse made it go up my throat.

But because of my love for Jesus, and with the support of his grace, I did not reject it.

Who could describe the suffering that these effusions with Jesus brought to me! They were so numerous that if I had not been supported, strengthened and invigorated by him, I would surely have been the victim of death many times.

A creature cannot normally carry as much bitterness or sweetness as my most kind Jesus sometimes poured into me.

He alone carries and tolerates the bitterness caused by sin. I have always had this opinion: sin is ugly and destructive!

If all creatures felt and recognized the poisonous and bitter effect of sin, they would avoid sin as if it were a horrible monster emerging from hell!

Obedience made me describe some painful scenes that my always kind Jesus made me live so that I could participate in his sufferings.

So I cannot ignore that he also made me see consoling scenes that seduced my heart.

From time to time, he allowed me to see good and holy priests who, with fervor and humility, celebrated the mysteries of faith.

When I saw these scenes, I was very often inspired to say to my beloved Jesus with my heart full of affection:

"How high, great, excellent and sublime is the ministry of the priest to whom this noble dignity is given.

I was consoled when I watched alone, or alongside Jesus, a holy priest celebrating Mass. With Jesus in him, the celebrant seemed to me like a transformed man.

It even seemed to me as if it was Jesus himself who celebrated the Divine Sacrifice in his place.

I don't know how many graces I received when I saw the Mass celebrated with such attention and devotion.

How many other divine illuminations I have had that I would rather pass over in silence.

But since obedience commands me and when I write, Jesus often rebukes me for my laziness or because I want to omit things, I will comply.

"What patience we must have with you my good Jesus. I will satisfy you, my sweet Love.

But because I feel unworthy and unskilled to speak of such profound, sublime and exalting mysteries, I will do so with much reliance on the help of your divine grace."

Jesus made me understand that the Mass covers all the mysteries of our religion.

It also tells us about our Redemption by making us remember the sufferings that Jesus endured for us.

The Mass makes us understand that, not satisfied with having died once on the Cross for us, Jesus wants,

-to spread in us and perpetuate his State of Victim through the Holy Eucharist.

who will be disintegrated and reduced to ashes by death, will be resurrected for eternal life on the last day.

Thegood ones who have been intimate with him during their lives, will have a resurrection similar to his.

He made it clear to me that the most consoling thing of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is Jesus seen in his Resurrection.

Like his Passion and Death, his Resurrection is mystically renewed on our altars when Mass is celebrated.

Jesus gives himself to communicants to be their companion throughout the pilgrimage of their mortal lives.

he gives the life that always lasts to those who participate, body and soul, in the sacrament of the Eucharist.

These mysteries are so profound that we will only be able to fully understand them in our immortal life.

However, right now, in the sacrament, Jesus gives us in many ways -- almost tangibly -- a foretaste of what He will give us in Heaven.

-the sacramental presence of Jesus no longer exists in the heart:. Jesus returns to the Womb of his Father,

Just as Jesus returns to the Bosom of the Father when his sacramental presence ceases, so

Will we pass to our eternal residence in the Bosom of the Father when we cease to exist through our present earthly life.

Our body, like the sacramental presence of Jesus after the consumption of the host, will seem to no longer exist.

Others, on the contrary, will go away from God to suffer atrocious and eternal torments.

But, even if they disappear from the gaze of the observer, the stars keep their light and remain in their place.

-he will absorb in himself all the holy souls. It will allow them to always exist,

If I wanted to answer that question, I could write for a long time. If the Lord will, I will reserve this question for another occasion.

-that the bodies that will be reunited with their souls resplendent with light, will be eternally united to God.

because they did not want to participate in the Holy Sacrifice and the sacrament of Love, will be thrown into the depths of darkness.

And, because of their ingratitude willfully committed against the Great Giver, they will become slaves of Lucifer, the prince of darkness. They will be eternally tormented by terrifying remorse.

which I have already mentioned about the mystical marriage he wanted to conclude with me.

"O most sweet Bridegroom, hurry up and do not delay my intimate union with you. Don't you see that I can't wait any longer?

May we unite with indissoluble bonds of love so that no one can separate us, even for a moment!"

Jesus, who nurtured in me the burning desire for this mystical marriage, said to me:

You don't know how the slightest shadow of the earth can be harmful. It is a strong impediment to my Love.

"My Lord, it seems that I still have something to take away from myself, before I am completely pleasing to you?

by which I became aware that he meant the golden ring with his image of crucified on it that I wore on my finger.

"O Holy Bridegroom, I am willing to remove it from my finger, if you so desire."

"Know that I will give you a more precious and beautiful ring, on which my Image will be engraved.

He will be alive, so that every time you look at him, new arrows of love will enter your heart.

the longed-for day of my mystical union with Jesus, the beloved Bridegroom of my soul, finally presented itself.

As I remember very well, it was a few days before the vigil of the Feast of the Purity of the Blessed Virgin. (7)

He took my heart in his Hands and looked at it again and again. After examining it very well, he dusted it away and replaced it.

So he brought a dress of great beauty, which seemed to be made of fine gold spotted with different colors. I put it on.

He took two precious jewels, earrings, and placed them in my ears. He adorned my neck and wrists with a necklace and bracelets made of precious jewelry.

it seemed to me that the jewels produced such a beautiful sound seemed to speak.

"Very sweet wife, this crown that adorns your head is given to you by me so that nothing is missing to make you worthy of being my wife.

-meditating on the poverty of my person and on the meaning of each ornament he had adorned with me the night before our mystical marriage.

It made me feel the great burden that God can give to a creature considered a lover of Him.

Rather than feeling the sublimity of what Jesus had just done on me, I felt the opposite.

I could not believe that it was God who had adorned the smallest of his servants with so many precious jewels.

a God acted as a servant of the bride he chose, a God to whom every creature obeys the slightest of his signs. So I begged him to have mercy on me and to forgive me.

As for the meaning of the various parts of my outfit, each considered separately, I ignore them, since I remember very little of this now, after so many years.

I am only saying that the veil that Jesus put on my head and that went down to my feet terrified the demons who were watching to see what Jesus was doing on my person.

-they were so frightened and terrified that they did not dare to approach me or molest me.

I repeat here my usual refrain by saying that I find it difficult to put on paper what happened between Jesus and me. I can overcome my shyness only because I want to be obedient.

Jesus, in all his Majesty and with an unusual Charm and Sweetness, came to me,

Jesus asked the angels to sing a heavenly and beautiful hymn. As they sang, St. Catherine encouraged me tenderly.

She took my hand so that Jesus could place a precious wedding ring on my finger.

And, in ineffable goodness, Jesus hugged me and kissed me several times. This was also done by my Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I witnessed a heavenly interview in which Jesus spoke of the love attraction he had for me.

For my part, plunged into great confusion because of the nullity of my love for him, I said to him: "Jesus, I love you! I love you! You know how much I love you!"

The Blessed Virgin spoke to me about the extraordinary grace that Jesus, my kind Bridegroom,

In their essence and in their daily practice, by the grace of God, I have never transgressed them.

I must have total detachment for all the created, including myself. I must live in a perfect oblivion of everything, so that my interior is fixed only on Jesus.

He told me that except for him, I should never get attached to anyone -- not even myself.

My memories of everything and everything must be awakened only in him, since all creatures are found only in him.

I must always act in rectitude and simplicity no matter what happens to me from creatures.

"If you do not come to a detachment that is both effective and emotional, you will not be completely invested in my Light.

If, on the contrary, you strip yourself of everything on earth, you will become like a transparent crystal.

which allows the fullness of light to pass through it. In this way, my Divinity, which is Light, will penetrate you."

I must be detached from myself and live only and completely in Jesus.

"You will come out of yourself and plunge into the immense sea of my Providence, after you have come to know yourself and me.

My little wife, because I am jealous, I will not allow you to take the slightest pleasure elsewhere. You must always stand close to your Bridegroom, before him, so that he cannot doubt you.

Out of love for me, and in full freedom, you will submit to all that I believe necessary, since we have in common our sorrows and joys.

For no other reason than to please and satisfy each other, we will even have a competition over who can endure the most suffering."

He went on to say, "Not your will but mine must live in you to dominate like a king in his royal palace.

Otherwise, we will have to endure the scramble of an imperfect love, from which shadows will rise upon you and

You must not stop there, because after you have recognized your nothingness, I want you to disappear totally in me.

By this you will attract upon yourself all the graces you will need to rise in me, in order to

And he continued, "In the future, I want there to be no more 'you' and 'I'. There will be no "I will do" and "you will do".

These words will disappear and be replaced by "we will do". Everything will be "bear".

And because so many of them have become wild and drifted apart, you will love them like a real mother.

At the cost of very hard sacrifices, you will try to lead them to safety. Charged with the merits of your sufferings and watered with your blood and mine, you will lead them to my Heart.

"Finally, - to the extent that you will detach yourself from all that is not totally mine,

you will find in me all the creatures, as in a mirror that reflects light and images.

With one glance you will see them all and you will know the state of their consciousness.

This sacrifice will be like a cloak that will cover you as my true and faithful imitator and wife."

How can I describe the subtleties of the Love of my kind Jesus who, with generosity, and even with excess,

so that I may hear the blessed spirits constantly sing hymns of glory and thanks to the Divine Majesty.

they participate in God's attributes only according to their own and limited capacity.

God, the Eternal and Infinite Sun, gives everything of himself without ever losing anything. While the creatures, which are essentially participants,

For what I have learned in this blessed journey will certainly not be well understood from my words.

The soul comes out of his body for a brief time, it is transported to this blessed Kingdom, and then it returns to the prison of his body.

The experience of a soul to whom God gives an example what he wants her to understand, can be compared to that of a baby who can barely stammer and is exposed to a great theatrical performance.

If it weren't for obedience, I'd rather stay silent like a child. I can only say absurdity after absurdity.

I will continue, however, by saying that I found myself walking with Jesus, my Bridegroom, in this Blessed Homeland among the choirs of angels, saints and blesseds.

participated at the same time as us in the joys of our recent marriage. It seemed

«Because of his fidelity to my grace, this soul has become a triumph and a prodigy of my Love."

He said to me, "This is your place of glory, and no one will be able to take it from you."

But, alas, as soon as I was convinced of this, I found myself within the walls of my body.

These things rejoice the senses of some creatures, but to me they seemed miserable.

-with whom I spent a lot of time in kind and polite conversations, now seemed boring and uninteresting.

Because of all this, my heart was not comfortable, but I did nothing but complain to Jesus.

-my inner suffering, -my boredom in relation to the things of this world, everything was eating away at my soul. It seemed to me that it was now impossible for me to continue living on earth.

Out of obedience, I wanted to stay calm, but I couldn't do it entirely. From time to time, I lost all control and, I confess, I failed.

-using all possible means to control my anxiety. But perfect control was impossible for me.

"My wife, be calm. What makes you desire Heaven so much?" I replied, "I always want to stay with you.

I lose my mind when I'm away from you, if only for a moment. I want to join you at all costs."

Then Jesus said to me, "All right, if it's for that reason. I will please you by always staying with you."

"I'd be satisfied if you did that, but you disappear, which is the same as leaving me alone. In Heaven, this is not so, because there you cannot disappear. My experience proves it to me."

I said, "All right, let's go, even though I'm a little afraid you'll want to make fun of me."

Jesus added, "No, no, I really tell you, come on. I want to take you with me."

In saying this, he drew my soul to him in such a way that I felt myself coming out of my body, and in a moment I found myself with him on a flight to Heaven. Oh! the happiness of my soul!

I began to hear the harmonious songs of the blessed. I prayed to Jesus to quickly lead me to this heavenly concert.

Seeing this, I began to suspect that I was not really going to return to the heavenly Homeland with him, and I said to myself:

"Look there, this sinner very close to being lost. Let's go down to earth again.

Let us try to make his soul contrite; maybe he will convert. Let us invoke together the Mercy of my Heavenly Father.

Are you not ready to suffer some sorrows for the salvation of a soul that cost me so much Blood?"

I renounced Heaven and the songs of the heavenly choristers I said to Jesus: "Yes, yes, whatever you desire.

And in the blink of an eye he brought me to this sinner. To convince him to surrender to grace,

As you can see, neither our words nor our reasons shook him. For us, there is nothing to do but suffer the punishment due to him.

"Suffering is the most powerful way to satisfy divine justice and make the sinner accept the grace of conversion."

I can't describe the suffering I experienced when I reconnected with my body. The latter seemed to object to the return of my mind and made me feel dilated.

Only he could describe the excruciating and extreme suffering that my soul and body endured.

After a few days of suffering, Jesus let me perceive the conversion of this sinner, with his soul already saved.

"You forgot to ask your confessor to give you permission to come with me. So you have to go back to your body to receive this permission."

I said to him, "When my soul was in my body and I was under the direction of my confessor, I had to obey him.

But since you are the first among the confessors and I am with you, my Bridegroom, I now report only to you."

His jokes sometimes created resentments in me, and even bitterness and impertinence.

-but this time in Heaven with the sanction of the Father and the Holy Spirit and

-so that he himself may preside over this work of holy purification. Otherwise, I would never have been able to do what he asked of me.

This very great grace was granted to me at the vigil of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (10).

That morning, my ever-kind Jesus came in haste, to prepare me for what He wanted from me.

-that my soul, so complicated until then, became so simple that it could reach God.

"Almighty God, what could your Omnipotence not solve? O sublime holiness of God,

But, like a magnet, his infinite Goodness drew me to him, and my soul cried out:

-to obtain faith, it is necessary to believe Since without belief there can be no faith.

Thus the soul without faith can do nothing and exposes itself to all kinds of dangers.

Faith is a light that illuminates the soul, without which one cannot travel on the path that leads to eternal life.

Since we cannot think of something if we do not first have some knowledge about it,

The quality of this information is not unimportant. He who teaches must be inhabited by what he teaches.

that I was thinking to find out how the beautiful virtue of hope helps us, this light withdrew from me.

I will simply say that all virtues serve to beautify the soul. However, by itself, the soul does not have the seeds in it.

"Draw closer to your God and you will be enlightened by him. Approach him and you will be purified by him, etc."

No incident in life frightens or discourages her, even for a moment. In herself she says to herself:

As I immersed my mind in the immense sea of divine hope, my beloved Jesus reappeared to me and spoke to me of charity, the greatest of the three theological virtues.

Although the three are distinct, charity must fraternize with the other two as if the three were one.

The contemplation of a fire gives a good idea of the three theological virtues uniting to form one.

The first thing you see when you light a fire is the light that bathes the surroundings.

This light can symbolize the faith infused into the soul at baptism. Then we feel the heat distributed all around (hope).

Gradually, the light begins to fade, almost to be extinguished, but the heat of the fire acquires more vigor until the fire is completely consumed. (11)

Faith is activated in the soul at the first information received about the Supreme Being. Then, thanks to the continual rise of the soul to God, its greatest Good, faith grows and develops.

The soul acquires from God the intellectual light, which emanates from the various attributes of God. Enlightened by his faith, the soul tries to choose the best path to reach his greatest Good, which is God.

Full of hope, it passes from one mountain to another, crosses valleys and plains, passes through lakes and rivers, sails through the largest and deepest seas for months and years; all this for the sole purpose of acquiring possession of one's God.

The desire directed towards the possession of God is called charity; and his two sisters are faith and hope.

giving the soul the energy and the ardent desire to acquire the good that is seen by the eyes of faith.

If the other virtues make the soul almost solitary and unsociable, charity, being a substance

"O my Bridegroom, Jesus, you support me with flowers. Grant me the bitterness of the apple that is suffering.

My heart can no longer see you suffering so much because of the ardent and passionate Love you have for each of us!"

And when it takes root in a soul, it does everything. It attaches no importance to the virtues themselves.

Charity converts and keeps the virtues intimately united to it. This makes her the queen of all virtues.

I cannot describe what was behind the sweet and attractive Words of Jesus. I can only say that they stirred up in me

Afterwards, I did my customary meditations on what Jesus had told me. And again, he introduced himself to me and said:

This must precede your great inclination to suffer more and more. Know that the annihilation of yourself

This sweet discourse of Jesus imbued in my soul the truths he taught me. And I was more excited than ever with the burning desire to become totally his own, in accordance with his Will.

for the renewal of the mystical marriage between Jesus and my soul, which had already been celebrated on earth

Eleven months later, on the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin (12), Jesus wanted for this marriage the sanction of the three Divine Persons.

The Holy Spirit held my right hand, and Jesus placed the ring on my ring finger.

-when I found myself in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity for this ceremony.

I would have remained prostrate in this way indefinitely if Jesus, the Bridegroom of my soul, had not encouraged me.

before such majesty, in the midst of this eternal Light emanating from the Essence and Holiness of God,

Human language, spoken or written, is incapable of making all the divine impressions that touched my soul at that moment understood.

I will now tell you about what happened when my soul returned to my body. I will also tell you about the one who held me captive in the charm of what had just happened to me.

A few days later, Jesus completely revived me. I remember that in receiving Holy Communion,

-that, by my soul, I perceived being in the presence of the Holy Trinity as I had seen it in Paradise.

I felt as if I had been ousted from myself, that is, as if I no longer lived in myself.

Most certainly, the Divine Persons lived in me and I in them. It seemed like my body had become their home.

I felt the royal presence of the three Divine Persons who, sensibly, were acting inside me.

However, I must confess that it sometimes hid so well that I could not even feel it. Then I would have traveled the sky, the earth and the seas to find him.

«I am here with you. Don't look the other way to find me. I rest in you and watch over you."

-why did you let me travel the heavens, the land and the seas to look for you this morning,

See, my sweet Good, my dear Life, how tired I am. I feel weak. Hold me in your arms. I feel like I'm going to die."

When I held one in my arms, suddenly I held three. Whether I held one or three, the gravity seemed to be the same. I felt a lot of love for all three.

I see that I have talked a lot, but I really would have preferred to ignore all these things. However, since I must obey the one who directs my soul, I will continue.

I will go on to say that Jesus often spoke to me about his Passion. He was trying to predispose my soul to the imitation of his Life.

"My wife, in addition to the marriage already made, another remains to be done: marriage with the Cross. Know that virtues become gentle and kind when they are evaluated and strengthened in the shadow of the Cross.

Before I came to earth, suffering, poverty, disease and all kinds of crosses were seen as infamy.

But, having been experienced by me, suffering was sanctified and deified. Her appearance changed: she became sweet and rewarding.

A soul that receives this good thing from me is more than honored, because it receives my endorsement and becomes a child of God.

He finds the cross bitter and begins to complain, since he perceives it as an evil. But when he receives it as a good, it creates joy in him."

"My wife, I desire nothing more than to crucify you as before, in your soul and in your body."

After Jesus told me this, I felt in me such an infusion of the desire to be crucified with him that I said to him: "My Jesus, my Love, quickly crucify me with you!"

will be the suffering for my sins and the grace of being crucified with him. And it seems to me that I will be satisfied, because by the crucifixion I will be able to obtain everything."

Finally, one morning, my beloved Jesus appeared to me in the form of Jesus Crucified. He told me that he really wanted me crucified with him

At that moment, my desire to be crucified by Jesus was so great that I felt consumed by the love of suffering.

However, I was suddenly seized with a great fear that made me tremble from head to toe.

I felt unworthy to receive such a rare grace as this. And I no longer dared to say, "Lord crucify me with you."

But Jesus seemed to be waiting for my consent before granting me this singular grace. I was tormented by this for some time.

My soul felt an ardent desire to ask for this grace At the same time, a feeling of unworthiness inhabited me.

While I was in this state, my beloved Jesus was mentally inspiring me to accept this grace.

"My Holy Husband and my Crucified Love, I beg you to grant me the grace to be crucified with you. I also ask you that there be no visible sign on me of this grace.

but does not reveal everything that happens to me to others. Let it be between you and me only."

I cannot describe the simultaneous happiness and pain – pain greater than all my others – that I felt at that happy moment.

As great as my fear and trembling were earlier, the peace and contentment I was experiencing now was even greater.

My suffering was so intense that I believed that the pain in my hands, feet and heart heralded my death.

I felt the bones of my hands and feet being broken into tiny pieces. I felt the penetration of nails in every wound.

I confess that the sweet contentment obtained by these Wounds cannot be described by words.

My wonder increased in intensity at the same time as the power of the pain which,

And nothing appeared outside my body which, however, was experiencing spasms and sharp pains.

He released my arms paralyzed by nervous pressure. Mentally I felt pains where the rays and nails had penetrated.

My confessor commanded by virtue of obedience that all cease immediately. In truth, the intense pain that had rendered me unconscious, ceased immediately.

I honestly admit that if these sufferings had not been mitigated by my confessor, I would have had difficulty subjugating myself to them.

May the Lord always be blessed for granting His ministers the power to take away His prey from death.

And I hope that all this has always been for the greater Glory of God and the salvation of souls.

I must also point out that while I was experiencing this mortal suffering, the things mentioned above left no trace on my body.

When I fell back into these sufferings, I saw the Wounds of Jesus clearly imprinted on my body.

It seemed that the Wounds of Jesus Crucified, which had been inflicted on my hands, feet and heart, were the same as those of Jesus.

I have experienced so many other crucifixions in subsequent years that it is impossible for me to list them all.

But, since I have to talk about it, I will tell the main and closest ones, until the year 1899.

Whenever Jesus came back to me after making me suffer the crucifixion, I invariably repeated to him:

Allow my sufferings to surpass every affection I have nurtured for sin, so that,

"Since you are so saddened to have offended me, I want to prepare you myself for the Atonement. In this way you will be able to understand the ugliness of sin and the intensity of the pain caused to my Heart.

«If I cross the ocean, even if I don't see you, you're still in the ocean. If I step on the ground, you are under my feet. I have sinned!"

After Jesus told me these words, I began to understand many things that I cannot express.

Thanks to his attributes, not even a shadow of my thoughts escapes God. My nothingness, compared to His Great Majesty, is less than a shadow.

as well as the enormous affront that is made to God by only a moment of satisfaction and pleasure.

He made me feel the immensity of the Love he had for me, even though, by a simple evil action, I lowered him to the level of a pleasure, by which I offended and almost killed him.

since I have been ungrateful and evil towards you, and you have been so good to me, have mercy on me.

At the moment when my most kind Jesus made me understand how much malice there was

I felt so much disgust and embarrassment for the sins of my past that I believed I was the worst of all sinners.

One morning, when I felt in a more acute way than usual the desire to always suffer more, my most kind Jesus came. He pulled me out of my body and carried my soul to a man who, with the help of a gun, had just been attacked, and was about to die and lose his soul.

Then Jesus made me penetrate into him by making me understand the sorrow of his Heart for the apprehended loss of this soul.

If we knew how much Jesus suffers for the loss of a soul, I am sure we would do everything possible to save one from eternal damnation.

While I was with Jesus during this flurry of bullets, he squeezed me very tightly on him and whispered in my ear:

Put on me all that he deserves, provided that he is saved and that you bring him back to life."

Then Jesus brought me back to my body and I felt immersed in suffering so great that I could not understand how I could survive.

After remaining in this state of suffering for more than an hour, Jesus arranged for my confessor to come to me and resuscitate me.

I told him everything I had seen and experienced during this very short time and I

He later confirmed to me that the murder had indeed taken place at the exact location I had told him and told me that everyone believed the man dead.

I told him that he could not be dead, because Jesus had promised me that he would spare his soul and keep it alive.

In truth, I have interceded strongly with God to prevent His spirit from leaving His body. It was later confirmed that he had survived and had slowly recovered his health. He lives now. God be blessed!

As for my greatest desire to be crucified with Jesus, out of love for Him and for the Atonement for my past, Jesus came to me and, as before, Brought my soul out of my body.

He carried me to the holy place where he suffered his painful Passion and said to me:

everyone would desire this property and consider it indispensable, as a jewel of inestimable value.

When I descended from Heaven to earth, I did not choose the riches of the world. But I considered it more dignified and meritorious to choose the Sisters of the Cross: -poverty, -ignominy and-the most brutal suffering.

-I longed for the time of my Passion and Death to come as soon as possible, since through them I was going to make the salvation of souls."

As he spoke to me, Jesus made me feel the joy he felt in suffering. His words ignited in my heart an ardent desire to suffer.

"Holy Bridegroom, give me suffering and give me your Cross so that I can know better how much you love me.

Otherwise I will always be in uncertainty about your Love for me. I gave up everything for you!"

Later, in joy more than ever because of my supplication, Jesus allowed me to lie on one of the crosses that were there.

Affectionately he took a nail and began to push it into my hand. From time to time, he would ask me:

"Yes, yes," continues Beloved, "despite my pain. I'm so glad you're crucifying me."

When he began to nail my other hand, the arm of the cross turned out to be too short, whereas before it was the right length.

I am unable to describe the mortification I felt at that moment. So I was not worthy of this suffering!

These jokes were repeated several times. When the arms of the cross were appropriated, the length of the cross was not.

On another occasion, so that Jesus would not have to crucify me, something was missing for my crucifixion.

Oh, how bitter my soul was experiencing these repeated conflicts with my Jesus. Many times I was justified in complaining to him, because he denied me true suffering.

For example, you told me many times that you would bring me to Paradise once and for all. But, each time you made me come back to earth to inhabit my body again. You told me that you would like to crucify me so that I could do what you did.

However, you never allowed me to reach a complete crucifixion. And Jesus said, "Yes, I will do it soon. There is no doubt about it. It will be done."

Finally, one morning, on the day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (13), Jesus appeared and quickly transported me once again to the Holy Square in Jerusalem.

He made me contemplate several things relating to the mystery and virtues of the cross. Afterwards, he said to me tenderly:

Meditate on the Cross and it will give you the most beautiful features that can be found in Paradise and on earth.

Then you will make yourself loved by God, who possesses in himself the infinite Beauty. In you has developed the desire to possess Paradise with all its riches.

Do you want to be filled with immense riches, not for a short time, but for eternity?

-while man has become eager to obtain the smallest profit of a simple temporal currency, which he will have to quickly abandon,

And, today, I want to please you by completely crucifying you on the cross, which, until that moment, did not fit you perfectly.

-which induces me to crucify you on her completely. The cross you have had so far,

After saying this, Jesus appeared to me before the cross I had had until then. I, in full happiness, went to her, laid her on the ground and lay on it.

St. John the Evangelist came, bringing the cross of which Jesus had spoken to me.

However, I still felt a flame of love in my heart, which made me look forward to suffering on this cross.

At Jesus' signal, an angel took the first cross and brought it with him to Paradise.

Meanwhile, Jesus, with his own hands and assisted by the Virgin Mary, began to crucify me.

Standing, the angels and St. John presented the nails and other objects necessary for my crucifixion.

At that moment, it seemed that Heaven was decorated for a new feast of glory for me:

-for having interceded for ill-disposed sinners and for the conversion of several others.

My beloved Jesus made them all participate in the good that was produced by my ardent disposition to the sufferings inherent in the crucifixion.

When it was all over, I felt as if I was swimming in a sea of contentment mixed with a sea of unheard-of suffering.

Because of your own sufferings and for the completion of all that has been done with Luisa,

Responding to His Mother's desire, Jesus took a spear and pierced my heart from side to side. At the same time, the angels presented a crown of thorns to the Blessed Virgin.

She, with my consent and with the greatest satisfaction, placed it tenderly on my head. What a memorable day it was for me!

It can be said that, truly, it was a day of unheard-of suffering and ineffable joys. And, for my pleasure and to endure my natural frailty, Jesus remained by my side all day.

Because of the severity of the suffering, the crucifixion would have failed without his grace.

To my delight, Jesus allowed many souls in Purgatory to return to Paradise as a result of my suffering.

They surrounded my bed and refreshed me with their heavenly songs. They were hymns of joy and hymns of praise to the magnificence of God.

It would have stopped completely if I had not insisted to my Bridegroom Jesus - to limit themselves to reducing their intensity, - without stopping everything.

And I made it known to my good Jesus by asking him to renew the crucifixion I had already lived.

From time to time, it pleased me by transporting my soul again to the Holy Places, in Jerusalem.

And there he made me more or less take part in the sufferings he experienced during his Passion.

Jesus liked to make me suffer one or the other of these mysteries. Sometimes also, in one day, he made me suffer his entire Passion,

I was restless and anxious if I couldn't at least get into some of her suffering.

-to watch Jesus suffer the most severe suffering because of the offenses perpetrated by savage men, savager than the soldiers who seized Jesus and put him to death.

I felt stimulated by my love for my beloved Jesus. I begged him to renew my crucifixions often, very often, so that at least partially I could alleviate his suffering.

-distinguishes the predestined from the reprobate, who is stubbornly opposed to suffering.

-will feel the caress of the Cross and will be ecstatic when he sees it appear. while the reprobate will be seized with a horrible fear.

And do you know when virtues acquire the most brightness and splendor? It is when they are well grafted to the Cross."

How could I describe the profusion of flames of love for the Cross that Jesus infused into my heart with these Words.

if Jesus had not satisfied my heart by renewing my crucifixion often -- very often --

But if you were not so unwilling to show everyone how much you love me, I would also like to seal your body with my bloody and visible wounds.

For this purpose I want to teach you the following prayer to say to obtain this grace:

I beg you by the sublime virtues of Jesus, to grant me the grace to be always crucified."

I consented to Jesus infusing me with a greater desire to be crucified according to His Will.

And not wanting to oppose him crucifying my body and soul, I quickly renewed my acceptance with ardor and determination.

If, occasionally and without thinking, I may have seemed to accept these signs, I really did not want to consent to this.

to give me permanent suffering without alleviation of any kind. But I only desire one thing: I don't want an outward sign that would lead me to embarrassment and embarrassment."

not only tormented by the fact that some outward sign might have manifested itself on my body,

since, without thinking, I had implicitly consented to the Will of Jesus in this

But I was also tormented by the thought of my past sins. I often asked Jesus for the contrition and grace of their remission.

I then told him that I would not be at peace and content until I heard from His Mouth, "Your sins are forgiven."

"Today I want to act as your confessor myself. You will confess all your sins to me.

You will understand what sin is, according to the capacity of human intelligence. And you'd rather die than offend me again.

"She who is nothing has resentment towards the One who is All. The Whole could have made the nothing disappear from the face of the earth.

Come back from your nothingness, and with feelings of love recite the confiteor."

Finding myself in the Royal Presence of Christ, my Judge, I began to tremble like a leaf.

if my Lord God, Jesus Christ, had not infused me with new strength and courage by saying to me:

For even though at present I am your Judge, I am also your Father. Take courage and move forward."

Feel the cruel torment that you have caused to my generous Heart through your pride."

How to describe what I heard and understood in just a few moments! My Heart, trembling with love, beat so hard that I thought it was going to burst.

In fact, later it seemed to me that my heart had been broken by grief, torn to pieces and destroyed.

He is so cruel that if he had the power, he would go so far as to destroy the Divine Being!"

Then I imagined human pride as a very ugly worm at the feet of the great King.

He gets up and swells in such a way as to make himself believe that he is something. In his great audacity,

Seeing the King's golden crown, he wants to take it from him and place it on his own head. He then wants

The worm doesn't even know what kind of being it is. In his pride, he does not know that the King could

The proud are brazen, presumptuous and ungrateful. Victims of foolish illusions and with their heads swollen with pride,

It was I who I saw in this ugly and miserable worm at the feet of the divine King.

because of the affront I had done to him. My heart experienced the terrible agony that Jesus suffered because of my pride.

When I had thought carefully about what Jesus had told me, He came back and made me continue my confession.

I confessed all this with so much sorrow and bitterness of soul that I was terrified.

-of my audacity to have offended such a good God who, despite my offenses, had helped me, preserved and nourished me.

If he felt indignation towards me, it was because of his hatred of sin, and nothing else. On the contrary, his kindness to me, a sinner, has always been very great.

He made me forgive even when, before divine justice, he exposed my weaknesses and weaknesses. In exchange, he gave me more graces and strength with which to function.

It was as if he had removed the wall that separated my soul from God because of

If people understood God's goodness and the ugliness of sin, they would completely banish sin from the earth.

They would be seized with great remorse and contrition for their sins, or they would die.

And the chosen ones would find in God an immense fountain of graces dedicated to their sanctification and beatification.

When Jesus saw that I could no longer carry the anguish and bitterness of sin, He withdrew, leaving me immersed in my reflections on the evil done by sin.

In his lifelong Goodness, he preserved me from the Judgment of his Father and gave me new graces.

After a long interval, Jesus returned again to allow me to continue my confession, which, although interrupted at times, lasted about seven hours.

When the most kind Jesus had finished hearing my confession, he left his position as Judge and assumed that of a loving Father.

I was inhabited by the inexorable realization that my sorrow, however great, was insufficient to be atone for my offenses perpetrated against my God.

"I want to add a supplement. I will apply the merits of my sufferings from the Garden of Gethsemane to your soul.

"Most Great God, I implore your Mercy and Forgiveness for my many and grave sins.

I would like my abilities to be multiplied to infinity so that I can adequately praise your infinite Mercy.

O Heavenly Father, forgive the great affront I have done to you by sinning against you, and deign to give me your paternal forgiveness."

He then said to me, "Promise me that you will never sin again. Stay away from the very shadow of sin."

I replied, "Oh! Yes! I promise it a thousand times and desire to die rather than offend my Creator, My Redeemer, and my Savior. Never!

On which Jesus raised his right hand, spoke the words of absolution, and allowed a river of his Precious Blood to flow over my soul.

After Jesus washed my soul with His Precious Blood and gave me His Absolution, I felt reborn to a new life flooded more than ever with the fullness of grace.

Every time it comes back to my memory, a singular joy rises in my soul and a trembling invades my whole being. And I relive it in the smallest details, as if it were happening.

Filled with memories of the past, I was invaded by anxious impulses to correspond, as much as possible-,

-or by preparing me more particularly to live in his Divine Will, which commanded

-undertakes a transfusion on someone to help them regain their health. And I had to carefully ensure that everything returned to God.

For this purpose, my beloved Jesus began by drawing me out of my body, cutting me off from everything that could separate me from him, and

The very patient Jesus wanted me to always be ready when he wanted to give me some of his work or his sufferings.

one of these being the absolution mentioned above, which was conferred on me several times.

I was experiencing different and unusual effects on my soul. And when the confession was over,

He took on the appearance of the confessor, and I, believing that I was talking to my confessor,

-I revealed the state of my soul, its fears, its doubts, its sufferings, its anxieties and its needs.

-by the kindness of the Voice, which sometimes alternated with that of my confessor, I discovered that it was none other than Jesus. He was so affable!

And the inner effects I was experiencing were not ordinary. Sometimes it was Jesus from the beginning:

If I wanted to tell everything that happened between Jesus and me, it would take a long time and it could be considered a fable.

Jesus had informed me of the second war between Italy and Africa. And here's how:

As I followed him transformed, he led me down a long path strewn with human corpses bathed in their blood. It was shown to me like a river flooding the road.

To my horror, Jesus made me see the bodies abandoned and exposed to an inclement temperature as well as to the rapacity of carnivorous animals, since there was no one to take care of the burials.

And Jesus answered me, "Know that in the coming year there will be war. Man abandons himself to all vices and carnal passions.

-that in the next nine months, the carnal man would put a brake on his passions and

Then, soon after, they engaged in a hard war resulting in much suffering and damage on both sides.

So, more than ever, I offered myself to my good Jesus, so that he would reduce the number of victims of this war. I offered myself for souls who, despite my prayers and supplications towards God's Mercy, would not be in a state of grace and would be thrown into hell when they appeared before God.

But Jesus did not listen to me. Once again, he took me out of my body. The next one, I was in Rome in an instant. There I heard many voices and learned of the situation described above. Jesus brought me into the parliament, into the council chamber, where the deputies were engaged in a heated debate on how to wage the war to be sure of victory.

The discussion continued with many pompous words, pride and pitiful fanaticism. But what made the biggest impression on me was that they were all sectarian and acted under the pressure of the devil, to whom they had sold their souls in order to have a victorious end to the war.

"How many sad and savage men; what sad times, even sadder than those who live there!"

It seemed to me that Satan reigned among them, since their full trust was placed in him rather than in God. And it was from the devil they were waiting for victory.

While they were engaged in a hot and rigorous debate, they distanced themselves from each other, even if they wanted to unite their differences. Jesus, without being seen, was in their midst.

Hearing their sad proposals, he wept over their miserable words. After they had made their plans to wage their war without God, they boasted very presumptuously, saying they were more than ever sure of victory.

Then, as if they were still there to listen to him, Jesus said in a threatening tone of voice: "You have great confidence in yourselves, but I will humiliate you; and then you will measure the greatness of your losses for not having invoked the help and intervention of God who is the author of all good.

This time, Italy will not be victorious. Rather, it will experience total defeat."

How to describe how much my heart suffered from these words of Jesus, and in how many ways I tried to pacify my kind Jesus, so that in the

As always, I offered myself as a victim of atonement and asked the Lord to grant me the greatest suffering and to spare Italy from such flogging.

"I will stand firm for Africa to be victorious over Italy. And I will grant you only this:

victorious Africa will not invade Italian soil to continue the war. The punishment is just, since Italy deserves it

Everything that was said to me at that time, or in other circumstances, I explained to my confessor under obedience.

And he said to me: "It does not seem likely to me that Italy will be defeated by Africa, since the modern civilization of Italy possesses all kinds of offensive and defensive weapons that Africa does not possess."

When Jesus' words were confirmed, my confessor said to me, "My child, there is no plan, no wisdom, and no strength that has some value, if they do not originate from God."

I could have ended here this account of the most important things that happened to me with Jesus from the age of 16 to the present day, if my confessor had not forced me to tell the various ways Jesus used to communicate with me.

Jesus makes known to the soul what he wants to do and he brings the soul out of his body.

This can happen in an instant. The soul comes out of the body in such a sudden way that the body rises to follow the soul but ultimately remains as if it were dead. The soul, on the other hand, follows Jesus in his race and travels through the universe: earth, seas, mountains and heavens, and it ends up in the regions of Purgatory or in the eternal Abode of God.

Sometimes the soul comes out of the body more calmly. In fact, it is as if the body rests while being insensitive and absorbed in God. Then, when Jesus leaves, the soul tries to follow Him wherever He goes. In each case the body remains as petrified and feels nothing of the outside world, even if the whole world were to be shaken or the body was pierced, burned or cut to pieces.

I can say that in both ways, I was out of my body and far from where Jesus had taken me. When I was far from the limits of the earth, in Purgatory or Paradise, and I saw my confessor coming to my house to resuscitate me, then, in the blink of an eye and at Jesus' command, I found myself in my body.

The first few times this happened, I was worried, agitated, and anxious to return to my body in time to be available to my confessor when he wanted to wake me up.

I confess that I was never late to enter my body when the confessor was waiting for me at my small bed.

However, if Jesus had not hastened to bring my soul back to my body, I would have stubbornly resisted the voice of the confessor, since I had the choice to leave Jesus, my greatest Good, or to submit to the voice of my confessor.

I said to Jesus, "I go to my confessor who calls me to obedience, but I will quickly return to my Beloved, as soon as he is gone.

Because of the light he communicates to my mind, he made me understand directly what he wanted to mean to me. Oh! how much we understand each other when we are together!

This type of intellectual communication by which Jesus makes himself understood is very fast. Many sublime things are learned in the blink of an eye -- more than one could learn by reading books for a lifetime.

This communication is so high and sublime that it is impossible for human intelligence to express in words all that a soul can thus receive in one.

In the blink of an eye he learns a lot of things that others would not be able to learn in several years.

This is because the teachers of the earth do not have the power to communicate their science.

Nor can they maintain the attention of their disciples without effort and fatigue.

The ways of Jesus are so gentle, tender and kind that as soon as the soul discovers this,

Without realizing it, the soul is transformed in him in such a way that it cannot tell the difference between itself and the Divine Essence.

-by a soul who has undergone this transformation during his life and who has reached the state of perfect glory.

she would have a hard time saying how it feels when you return to your body, plunged into the darkest darkness.

His attempt would be difficult and imperfect, if not quite impossible. Imagine, for example, a blind man from birth who, one fine day, suddenly receives the faculty of seeing, and who, in a short period of time, travels through the universe and sees the most wonderful things: minerals, plants, animals and celestial vaults dotted with stars.

And suppose that after only a few minutes, he is brought back to his condition of blindness. Could he really communicate, in appropriate language, what he saw?

This situation is similar to that of a soul who has traveled all over the earth and to Paradise and who, returning to his body, feels like our blind man returned to his blindness.

She prefers to take refuge in silence rather than speak, because she is afraid of appearing ridiculous.

The soul that returns to her body is sad and inconsolable She feels in the situation of a prisoner.

She longs to set out for her greater Good and she is more unhappy than the one who has lost the use of sight.

She only aspires to be united with God and has no desire to speak left-handedly and in a disorderly manner about things that are beyond her human and carnal capacities.

Because of obedience and the risk of making mistakes, I will now explain, as best I can, another way Jesus speaks to the soul.

While the soul is in her body, she sees the Person of Jesus appear as a child or a young man, or in his state of Crucified. And the Words he says reach the soul's understanding.

The soul, in turn, speaks to Jesus. Everything happens like a conversation between two people.

The Words of Jesus are then rare and barely four or five words. Very rarely does he speak for a long time.

A simple Word of Jesus produced an intense Light in me and left my soul absorbed by a truth that became mine. It was a bit like seeing a small stream that quickly becomes a vast sea.

If the wise men of the world could hear a simple Word of Jesus, surely they would remain stunned, dumb, confused, and unable to know what to answer. When Jesus wants to manifest a Truth to a being, he uses a language appropriate to that being's intelligence. It is not necessary to look for special words to be able to communicate the Words of Jesus to other people.

On the other hand, the soul is embarrassed when it tries to verbally communicate to others the truths it has learned through intellectual communications. Jesus adapts to human nature. By choosing his words, he adjusts to the language and capacity of each soul. As for me, a small creature, I cannot adequately communicate these thoughts to others without the risk of wandering.

In short, Jesus acts as a very wise and gifted teacher who possesses superior knowledge in all sciences.

He uses the language understood and spoken by the student and, since he seeks scientific truth, he teaches to be understood. Otherwise, he would first teach language and, subsequently, the sciences he wants to communicate.

Jesus, who is all goodness and wisdom, adapts to the capacity of the soul in a way that does not despise or humiliate the person.

To the ignorant who wants to learn, He teaches the truth necessary to attain eternal life.

And to the scholar he communicates his Truths in a more elaborate way, his only purpose being to be known, appreciated and not to deprive anyone of his Truths.

Another way Jesus uses to make the soul understand His Truths is through participation in His Essence.

We know that God created the world out of nothing, and at His Word all things came into existence. Then, as had been foreseen from all eternity, creation was put in order by another almighty Word of the Creator.

Thus, when Jesus speaks of eternal life to a soul, then, in the same act, he infuses this truth into the soul.

If he wants the soul to become in love with his Beauty, he asks her, "Do you want to know how beautiful I am? No matter how your eyes scrutinize all the beautiful things spread on earth and in heaven, you will never see beauty comparable to mine."

While Jesus tells him this, the soul feels that something divine is entering it.

And she wants to be close to him because she is attracted to his Beauty that surpasses all beauty. At the same time, she loses all desire for the beautiful things of the

Earth, because no matter how beautiful and precious these things may be, she sees the infinite difference between Jesus and these things. Thus she gives herself to God and is transformed into Him.

She continually thinks of him because she is completely enveloped by him, loved by him, penetrated by him. And if God did not perform a miracle, the soul would cease to live: his heart would be transformed into pure love at the sight of the Beauty of Jesus and she would like to fly to him to enjoy his Beauty.

Even though I have experienced all these emotions, including the magnetism of the Beauty of Jesus, I don't know how to describe these things. My words can only give bad descriptions. Nevertheless, I must admit that a supernatural imprint has remained in me that makes my mind adhere to these realities.

Compared to my very kind Jesus, every beautiful thing on earth is eclipsed like a star in front of the sun. So I came to consider all earthly beauties as trifles or toys. What I have said about the Beauty of Jesus, I might as well say about his Purity, his Goodness, his Simplicity and all the other virtues and attributes of God, because when he speaks to the soul, he communicates to him his Virtues as well as his Attributes.

One day Jesus said to me, "Do you see how pure I am? I also want that purity in you." I felt that by these words Jesus had transfused His Purity into me, and I began to live as if I had no body. I felt as if asleep and intoxicated by the heavenly fragrance of his Purity.

My body, which was now participating in its Purity, became very simple. Jesus' righteousness and his distaste for impurity possessed me to such an extent that, if I perceived an impurity, even from a distance, my stomach rebelled with strong episodes of vomiting.

In short, the soul to whom God has spoken of purity becomes all transformed. She lives and acts only in Jesus, since he has established his permanent residence in her.

I must emphasize here that what I have said about the Beauty and Purity of Jesus, and what has been transformed in me, is a mere approximation, since human skill and intelligence are incapable of expressing in human language what is sublime and angelic.

This is how it is impossible for me to describe well the perceptions I have had of Purity, Beauty, and other virtues and divine attributes than my good man.

How desirable it is to participate in the virtues and attributes of God that Jesus communicates to the soul in such an original way!

As far as I am concerned, I would give everything that exists in exchange for a simple moment of such communication, by which the soul becomes closer to him and is brought to the understanding of divine things in the manner of the angels and saints of Paradise.

Another way Jesus speaks to the soul is through heart-to-heart communication.

And since the soul is the host of the Heart of Jesus, it is always very attentive to provide God with the greatest pleasure.

Internally, Jesus is at rest, but he is always vigilant in the intimate shelter of the heart. Since the two hearts are melted and become one, it reminds the soul of its duty without articulating a word. To make himself understood internally to the soul, it is enough for him to make a simple gesture. In other words, he uses words audible by the heart.

This way of speaking to the soul, which makes Jesus the absolute owner of the heart, occurs when he has taken the direction of the soul. If he sees her deficient in the performance of her duties or if, through negligence, she has let something slip away, he wakes her up by gently refreshing her memory.

If he sees her anxious, sad, moving slowly, lacking charity or the like, he reprimands her.

His Words are enough for the soul to quickly return to itself to focus more on God and fulfill His Holy Will.

Here I want to continue this account of the graces that my most kind Jesus generously granted me, the least of his servants, during about 16 years of my life, beginning at the moment when I proposed to make the preparatory novena for the feast of Christmas, with nine meditations a day on the great mysteries of the Incarnation.

When I began to write this manuscript, my confessor came to see me, and, concerning this novena, I said to him: "So I did a second hour of meditation, then a third, up to nine, which I pass over in silence so as not to be boring."

However, he ordered me to write everything down in detail. So I have to obey – even against my own reasoning. Without worrying about it anymore and trusting Jesus, I continue my narration of what Jesus made me live during this novena.

At the beginning of this meditation, the voice inside me was heard and said to me:

"My child, put your head on my Mother's womb and meditate on my little Humanity that is there.

Here, my Love for creatures literally devours me. The immense fire of my Love, the oceans of Love of my Divinity, reduce me to ashes and exceed all limits. And so my Love covers all generations.

Currently, I am still devoured by the same Love. Do you know what my eternal Love wants to devour? They are all souls! My child, my Love will be satisfied only when he has devoured them all. Since I am God, I must act as a God by embracing every soul that has come, comes to, or will come into existence, because my Love would not give me any peace if I excluded only one.

Yes, my child, look into my Mother's Womb and place your gaze on my freshly conceived Humanity. There you will find your soul conceived alongside mine, surrounded by the flames of my Love. These flames will cease only when they have consumed you, you with me!

Hearing these Words, I became as if drowned in all this Love of Jesus, and I would not have known how to answer them if an inner voice had not shaken me and said, "My child, this is nothing compared to what my Love can do.

Hurry closer to me, give your hands to my dear Mother, so that you can stand very close to her womb. And at the same time, still linger on my little Humanity, designed there to conceive souls for eternity. This will give you an opportunity to meditate on the fourth excess of my Love."

"My child, if you want to pass from my devouring Love to my acting Love, you will discover me in a bottomless abyss of suffering. Consider that every soul conceived in me brings me the burden of its sins, weaknesses, and passions.

My Love leads me to bear the burden of each one, because, after having conceived his soul in me, I have also conceived the contrition and reparation that he will have to offer to my Father. Also, don't be surprised if my Passion was also conceived at that time.

Look at me in my Mother's womb and you will discover how much suffering I live there.

Look at my little Head surrounded by a crown of thorns, which, while they cruelly pierce my skin, make me shed rivers of hot tears.

Yes, be moved with pity for me and, with your hands that are free, dry my tears.

"This crown of thorns, my child, is none other than a cruel crown that creatures weave for me with the evil thoughts that fill their minds. Oh! how cruelly these thoughts pierce me -- a long coronation of nine months!

And as if that were not enough, they crucify my Hands and Feet so that divine justice may be satisfied for these creatures, they who circulate on perverse paths, who commit all kinds of injustices and take illegal paths for their benefit.

In this state, it is not possible for me to move, even a Hand, a Finger or a Foot. I remain motionless, either because of the atrocious crucifixion I suffer or because of the small space in which I am.

It is that mankind never ceases to conceive of cruel designs which, like thorns or nails, constantly pierce my Temples, my Hands and my Feet."

Jesus thus continued to tell what his little Humanity suffered in the womb of his Mother.

I pass by so as not to be too long and because my heart does not have the courage to tell everything that Jesus suffered out of love for us.

And I couldn't do anything but shed a flood of tears. However, he shook me, and in a weak voice he said to me inside my heart:

But I can't do it yet, because, as you can see, I'm locked in this place that keeps me still.

Later, when I emerge from the bowels of my Mother, I will come to you to kiss you and to stay with you."

In my fantasy, I imagined myself being with him in his Mother's womb and kissed him and squeezed him on my heart.

In his affliction he once again made me hear his voice and said to me, "My child, this is enough for now.

Go now to meditate on the fifth excess of my Love which, despite being rejected, will not withdraw or stop.

Hearing Jesus' call to meditate on the fifth excess of his Love, I lent the ear of my heart to hear his faint voice inwardly tell me:

"Observe that as soon as I was conceived in the womb of my Mother, I conceived the

grace for all human creatures at the same time, so that they may grow like me in wisdom and truth.

That is why I love their company, I want to remain in continual correspondence of Love with them, and very often I manifest to them my thrilling Love.

"With them, I want to be continually in reciprocity of Love and share every day my joys and sorrows. I long for them to recognize that the only reason I came from Heaven to earth is to make them happy.

And as a little brother, I wish to stay with them and among them to collect their good feelings and love.

I long to give back to each of them my Goods and My Kingdom, even at the cost of the greatest of sacrifices: My Death for their lives.

In short, I long to play with them and cover them with kisses and caresses in love.

"However, in exchange for my Love, I unfortunately reap only sorrows. In fact, there are those who listen to my Words without good will, who despise my Company, who detach themselves from my Love, who try to escape me or who play the deaf.

The former are not interested in my Goods or my Kingdom; they receive my Kisses and Embraces in indifference.

The others, in greater numbers, make my Love for them result for me in abundant tears, which serve as a natural outcome for my Heart so despised and outraged.

How heavy is this forced loneliness resulting from their abandonment. They turn a deaf ear to all the calls of my Heart!

I then surrendered to Jesus by expressing my desire to always be faithful to Him and to love Him with tenderness and compassion.

But, despite his desire to rejoice with me, he remained alone, without relief.

"My child, may my Intimacy be with you! Come closer to me and pray to my dear Mother that she will give you a small place in her Womb, so that you can observe in what state of pain I am there."

In thoughts, I imagined that my Mother Mary wanted to show me her great affection by letting me join the sweet and affable Jesus in her Womb. I imagined that I was there in his Womb very close to my kind Jesus. But as the darkness was great, it was impossible for me to see his Features and I could only feel the warmth of his Breath of Love.

I am the eternal Light and there is no light outside of me that is more resplendent.

Yes, it was out of love for creatures that I confined myself to this reduced and waited there after some ray of light. I waited patiently in the great darkness, in a night without star or rest, the light of the sun that did not yet appear.

"What suffering I endured there! The narrow walls of this prison gave me no space to stir, and caused me terrible anguish.

It is the Love I feel for creatures facing the darkness of their sins. Each of their sins is a night for me. I suffocate from feeling their hearts unrepentant and ungrateful. They produce a bottomless abyss of darkness that paralyzes me.

O excess of my Love, you have made me start from a fullness of Light to bring me to the darkest of nights in a narrow reduced that annihilates the freedom of my Heart."

As he said this, Jesus was moaning painfully because of the lack of space. To help him, I wanted to give him some light through my love.

Jesus added, "My child, do not leave me in such solitude and darkness! Do not leave the Womb of my Mother and stop at the seventh excess of my Love. Listen carefully:

that I did not possess: joy, bliss, etc. The angels offered me the cult of the greatest adoration and were attentive to each of my Desires. But the excess of my Love for the human race made me change my condition.

I have stripped myself of these joys, these bliss and these heavenly goods to clothe myself in the infirmities of creatures, in order to bring them my eternal happiness, my joys and my heavenly advantages.

"This exchange would have been easy for me if I had not found in man the most monstrous ingratitude and the most obstinate hatred.

I suffer greatly from the wickedness of man, which for me is the greatest and sharpest of thorns.

Observe my little Heart and see the many thorns that cover it. Observe the wounds made by the thorns and the rivers of Blood that escape from them.

"My child, do not be ungrateful too, because ingratitude is the hardest thing for your Jesus. Ingratitude is worse than slamming the door of my Heart.

Keep resting your head on my Mother's chest and you will hear my moans and supplications.

You will see that neither my groans nor my supplications cause ungrateful creatures to feel pity for my flouted Love.

So you will see me, still a baby, reaching out as the poorest of beggars and asking for pity and a little charity for souls. In this way I hope to attract hearts frozen by selfishness.

So I have decided that if, after the seventh excess of my Love, they still turn a deaf ear by showing themselves disinterested in Me and my Goods, then I will go further.

He wants to go beyond his limits and make my Mother's womb from the bowels, my pleading Voice reach every heart.

To touch the fibers of the human heart, I use the most expressive methods, the sweetest and most effective words, as well as the most moving prayers. I said to them:

I will make them burst into the flames of my Love and I will destroy in them what is not Paradise.

Know that my goal in leaving Paradise to incarnate in the Womb of my Mother was for you to enter the Womb of my Eternal Father.

"Seeing the creatures resist my Love and move away from me, I tried to hold them back.

With my hands clasped together and with my most tender pleas, I tried to win them over by saying in a sobbing voice:

"See, my children, the little Beggar that I am, who only claims your hearts. Can you not understand that this way of acting is dictated to me by the excesses of my Love?"

"To draw creatures to His Love, the Creator took the form of a little baby, so as not to frighten.

When he sees that the creature is recalcitrant and stubborn and does not surrender to his request, he insists, complains and cries.

While they should rejoice in being overwhelmed and warmed by the flames of my divine Love, they try to detach themselves from it by going in search of bestial loves capable of leading them into the infernal chaos to cry eternally."

I trembled as I thought of the irreparable damage caused by the ingratitude of men and its eternal consequences.

And, as I was immersed in these considerations, the Voice of Jesus was heard again in my heart:

While Jesus was telling me this, my heart was seized with an ineffable tenderness for Him.

But in order for my gift to be more beautiful, I want to remove from my heart all that is not of you. So please give me this effective grace to make my heart like yours, so that you can find a stable and permanent home there."

If you love me, keep your gaze fixed on me, so that you can learn everything I teach you.

Offer your little Jesus a reprieve for his tears and deep afflictions -- a word of love, a caress, an affectionate kiss -- so that my Heart may be comforted by the feeling of a return of love.

"See, my child, after having read the proofs of my Love described by the eight excesses mentioned so far, man should have bowed before my true and sublime Love.

Rather, he receives it badly and makes me move to another excess which, if he does not find a

"So far, man has not capitulated. That is why I continue with my ninth excess of Love, which is my very keen desire to escape from the womb to go after man. And after stopping him on the slopes of evil, I long to hug and kiss him -- he so ungrateful for my Love -- to make him fall in love with my Beauty, my Truth, and my eternal Goodness.

"This great plan reduces my little Humanity, which has not yet seen the light of day, to a state of agony sufficient to put an end to my Life. If I were not helped and supported by my Divinity, inseparable from my Humanity because of the hypostatic union, surely this is what would happen to me. My Divinity communicates to me fountains of New Life and makes my little Humanity resist the continual agony of these nine months when it feels closer to death than to life.

"My child, this ninth excess of my Love is none other than a continual agony that began the moment my Divinity took the human form in the womb, thus hiding his divine Essence.

If I had not thus hidden my divinity, I would have provoked fear rather than love in creatures, who would then not have wanted to surrender to my Love.

What a pain it was for me to wait there for nine months! If my Divinity had not given my Humanity its support and strength, my Love for creatures would have devoured me.

My Humanity would have been reduced to ashes. I would have been consumed by my active Love which made me take upon myself the enormous burden of punishment that the creatures have earned for themselves.

"That's why my life in my Mother's bowels was so painful: I no longer felt able to stay away from creatures.

I longed after them so that at all costs they would come into my chest to feel my burning palpitations.

I longed to embrace them with my tender and pure affection, so that they would eternally become lords of my Goods.

I to emerge in the light of day, I would have been consumed by this ninth excess of Love.

Feel the palpitations of my Heart which, having already been vivid, are now almost extinguished. Don't take my eyes off me.

My blood froze in my veins and I no longer felt my heart beat. My breathing stopped and, trembling, I crashed to the ground.

I will always love you, and I will never leave you, no matter how much sacrifice it may cost me.

Always give me the flame of your Love so that I may always love you and that, as soon as possible, I may be consumed with love for you, my eternal Good." I then felt like dead.

Jesus was already born to our mortal life to bring us to death of our own will and, later, give us eternal life.

Gently he said to me: "My daughter, reborn of my Love, get up. Rise to the life of my Grace and Love. Imitate me in everything.

As you have kept me company during the nine meditations on the excesses of my Love, in this long novena of my Nativity, make the other twenty-four considerations about my Passion and My Death, distributing them among the twenty-four hours of the day.

In them you will discern other sublime excesses of my Love, and you will be a continual relief for me in my great sorrows coming from the

In life, you will be the all-loving of my burial. At your death, you will have the optimum part of my Glory. (16)

Luisa wrote the present volume 1 of the "Book of Heaven" at the same time as volume 2, and that perhaps other texts. This volume 1 provides us with interesting biographical details about the exceptional preparation she was given for her mission as messenger of the Divine Will on earth.

Afterwards, it will be continuous: a few minutes after taking food, Luisa vomited everything. Thus, she will live in total fasting until her death, except for one small exception (cf. Volume 2, September 29, 1912).

Think about what it can be like to be bedridden for sixty-four years, without a bed sore, without any natural illness.

This was attached to Luisa's voluntary obedience, what she called her usual state.

And Jesus kept his word, as Luisa will attest 15 years later (cf. Volume 4, 16 November 1902).

Luisa's vehement and innocent love for Jesus prompts him to give her a taste of the chaste intimacies that will be lived in Heaven.

In Volume 9 (cf. October 1, 1909), Luisa says that in previous years Jesus had wanted to "take" her four or five times, but that his confessor had interceded to leave the victim on earth.

In the missals of the time, this date is October 16. That was in 1888. Luisa was 23 years old.

Luisa Piccarreta (1865-1947) and Life in the Divine Will

Videos from the You Tube channel

(where you can listen to the 36 volumes of the work of the Book of Heaven in audio given by Our Lord Jesus)

Luisa Piccarreta was born on a Sunday shortly after Easter, in the village of Corato, Italy, April 23, 1865. She was baptized the same day. She has lived all his life there, except in the months when each year, When she was young, her family lived in Shut your mouth. Luisa died in the odor of Holiness shortly before reaching his 82nd birthday on March 4, 1947; after a quite extraordinary life.

Luisa had no brother, but four sisters. Her father was Vito Nicola Piccarreta and his mother Rosa Tarantini, both from Corato. At a very young age, Luisa was shy and very fearful. Ella often had nightmares that made her made the devil very fearful. And often, in its dreams, she saw the Virgin Mary casting the devil far away. of her.

In this regard, Jesus clarified to Luisa that the devil had discerned that God had views very special on her, that she would bring a very great glory to God, and that it would be an important cause of defeat for him. Regardless of how it He never succeeded in penetrating in her impure affections or thoughts, because Jesus there had closed all doors to Satan. It is for This he was so furious and tried to terify her. by frightening dreams, seeking by all means to hurt him.

At the age of 9, she made her First Communion and, On the same day, received the sacrament of confirmation. The Eucharist became his predominant passion; She concentrated all his affections. From that age, she could remain in the church, kneeling and motionless, for four hours, in contemplation.

At the age of 11, she became "daughter of Mary". At the age of 12, she cormmena to hear inwardly the voice of Jesus, especially when she received communion. Jesus became his tutor on the things of God, the correcting and teaching him how to meditate. And he gave him lessons about the Cross, about meekness, of obedience and his life hidden on earth. This inner voice brought Luisa to detachment from herself and everything.

One day at the age of 13, while working in his house and reflected on the saddest part of the Passion of Jesus, she became so overwhelmed that she was about to lose her breath. It is then went on the balcony of the second floor of the House. As she looked down, she saw in the middle of the street a huge crowd leading the sweet Jesus with his Cross on the shoulder, pulling it from one side to the other. Jesus' face was bloodied and struggling. to breathe. He was pitiful to soften the stones. Then, looking up at her, Jesus said to her: "Soul, help me!" It is impossible to describe sadness that she felt and the heartbreaking impression that this scene produced in her. She quickly returned to her room, completely flabbergasted, not knowing where She found herself, heartbroken with sadness. She cried there at torrents on the great sufferings of Jesus.

From that moment on, she was deeply bowed. to suffer out of love for Jesus. Around this time Also, began his first sufferings physical, though hidden, as well as great suffering moral and spiritual. After 3 years, the diabolical assaults drew to an end. When she was 16, then that she was on the farm, the demons to her gave a last assault, so violent and painful that she lost the use of the senses. In this state she had a new vision of Jesus suffering. Internally molting by sweet and loving invitations of grace, Luisa surrendered himself totally to the Divine Will and accepted the role of victim, for which Jesus and the Sorrowful Mother invited her.

At the age of 17, Luisa began to vomit her food and was forced to keep the bed intermittently. All this was inexplicable to his family, the priests. and doctors. Later, after much Moral sufferings coming from his family and priests, one realized that his condition was the result of an illness mystic corresponding to his situation as a voluntary victim in look at the mission to which God had called her. Has From that time until his death, some 65 years later, Luisa lived without food and without water. His food consisted of the Divine Will and the Holy Communion.

From the age of 22, she had to stay in bed permanently. The 16th October 1888, at the age of 23, Luisa was united to Jesus by the "mystical marriages". 11 months later, in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity and of all the heavenly Court, his union with Jesus was Ratified; she was bound to Him by "marriage" mystical".

On this blessed day, the "prodigy of prodigies": Luisa, who was then 24 years old, received the Gift of the Divine Will! This is the most great gift that God can offer to a creature, the grace of graces, much more than marriage mystic. At this moment, the Third Fiat of God (that of the Sanctification) was taking shape on earth. It will grow silently, little by little, in prepared souls by Mary, the Mother and Queen of the Divine Will.

In February 1899, in obedience to his Lord and to her confessor, Luisa began to To write. It will do so for 40 years, putting on paper the more sublime secrets of the mystery of the Divine Will. The rest of his life was a mixture of joys and sufferings, writing, sewing, obedience, prayers, and to help others with great wisdom and tender advice. Jesus, the only one she could trust, was his only consolation. When she was deprived of her Sensitive presence, his agonies for souls were so profound that they sometimes surpassed the sufferings of the Purgatory.

Luisa was permanently admitted into the splendours on March 4, 1947. There was uncertainty about from the time of his death for 4 days, since his body was not not subject to the usual rigidity. However, he was Impossible to straighten his back. And had to make a tomb special allowing him to keep the sitting position, the same which she had kept during her 64 years of bed rest.

47 years later, in early 1994, the Vatican asked The Archbishop of his native diocese to set in motion the Process for his beatification. His cause was officially introduced on the feast of Christ the King, November 20 1994.

The life of Luisa Piccareta

Birth

Luisa Piccarreta was born into a family poor in Corato near Bari in the south of Italy, April 23, 1865, the Sunday after Easter. On the occasion of the canonization of Sister Faustina Kowalska, on April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II appointed officially in Church, this Sunday after Easter, "Mercy Sunday", according to the Jesus' desires expressed to sister Faustina. Jesus wanted to emphasize that Luisa was the one chosen by God from all eternity for us to bring this Gift of the Divine Will, fruit par excellence of his Divine Mercy.

His family

Both of Luisa's parents were Corato. The family had five daughters and they lived on agriculture. Both, his father and mother died in March 1907, at ten days interval. Luisa was then aged 42 years old. Luisa describes her parents as angels of purity; They were very careful not to Not let their children hear anything. The Lies, hypocrisy, falsehood had no place in their homes. Parents were vigilant towards their children and never introduced them to anyone or, always keeping the family together.

Jealous love for Jesus

At the age of nine, Luisa made her First Communion and Confirmation on Sunday after Easter, on Mercy Sunday. From an early age, she nurtured a great love for the Eucharist and spends hours in church, kneeling and motionless, all absorbed, in contemplation before the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Inner voice de Jésus

Shortly after his First Communion, Luisa begins to hear Jesus' voice at the inside of his soul. Jesus to him taught meditations on the Cross, obedience, His Hidden Life in Nazareth, the virtues and many other subjects, directing it and correcting it when he judged it necessary.

Total secondment

Gradually, Jesus brought him to a detachment from herself and everything. From his youngest age Jesus taught him the immense value of the suffering voluntarily accepted and that of the Intercessory prayer for others.

Luisa consoles Jesus

Luisa loved to venerate the Wounds of Jesus and desired to suffer for Him. It happened to him to kiss the Holy Wounds with His feet, His hands, His Side and then the Wounds disappeared; of this how Jesus told him of the relief and the the comfort she could give him in the face of His Suffering.

Daughter of Mary

During her childhood, Luisa was rather embarrassed and fearful, but also lively and joyful. Has At the age of eleven, she was received " Child of Mary." Later, Luisa will remain small of Size and always serene with big penetrating eyes and animated.

First vision

One day, barely old thirteen-year-old Luisa worked at home while meditating inwardly on the Passion of Jesus. Suddenly, she became oppressed and went out on the balcony. on the second floor of the house to take a little of air. It was then that she had a first vision in looking down the street; She saw a huge crowd and, at the in the midst of the crowd, Jesus painfully carrying His Cross. The crowd pushed and abused him from all sides. Jesus also sought His breath, He had the face all covered in blood, in an attitude that pitiful the To see.

"Soul, help me!"

Suddenly, Jesus looked at her and said, " Soul, help me." It was then that Luisa's soul was filled with compassion for Jesus. She returned to his room and cried profusely. She then said to Jesus that she wanted to suffer His sorrows in order to relieve Him because it was not fair that Jesus suffered so much by love for her, poor sinner and may she not suffer nothing for the love of Him.

Fierce battle against the Demons

Then began his first physical sufferings of the Passion of Jesus, although Hidden. From thirteen to sixteen, Luisa delivered A fierce battle against demons, fighting against Their infernal suggestions, their taunts, their temptations... Luisa valiantly resisted their attacks. Despite their frightening noises, she manages to ignore all your fears by keeping your gaze fixed on Jesus, as the Virgin Mary had taught him.

The final assault of the Demons

In frail health, Luisa spent her summers at the family farm named "Desperate" Tower" some twenty-seven kilometres away of Corato.

Second vision

It was there that Luisa suffered the assault Final of the demons at the age of sixteen. The attack was so violent that she lost consciousness. It was then that she had a second vision of Jesus. suffering who said to him: "Come with Me and offer yourself to Me. Come before Divine Justice as a "victim of reparation" for the many sins committed against Her, so that My Father may be appeased and may He grant conversion to sinners ».

A choice

And Jesus added: "Two Choices Available to You: Severe Suffering or lighter suffering. If you refuse The severe form, you will not be able to participate in the graces for which you fought so bravely. But if you accept, I will never leave you alone and I will come live in you to suffer all the outrages committed against Me by Men. This is a very special grace which is given to only a few people because the Most are not prepared to enter in the field of suffering. Second, I tell you Allow you to rise to as much glory as sufferings communicated to you, through Me. And finally, I will give you assistance, support and comfort from my Most Holy Mother, to whom was granted the privilege of lavishing on you all the Necessary graces according to your docility and your reciprocity".

Victim of reparation

Then Luisa offered herself generously to Jesus and Our Lady of Sorrows, ready to submit to whatever They would want from her.

Crown of Thorns

A few days later, Luisa received from Jesus crowned her with thorns that caused her spasms painful, preventing it from taking and swallowing any food.

Abstinence from food

From then on, Luisa lived in a almost total abstinence from food until his death, does not nourished only by the Eucharist and the Divine Will.

Persecution

Luisa had to suffer a lot of misunderstanding and persecution by his family and many Priests.

Apparent death

Because of the growing suffering strengthened by the Passion of Jesus, Luisa often lost conscience. His body became rigid, sometimes during several days until a priest brings her back of his apparent state of death.

Holy Obedience

By the blessing of the priest and in the name of Holy Obedience, Luisa returned to she.

Dominican Tertiary

At the age of eighteen, Luisa became Dominican Tertiary and took the name of Sister Madeleine.

Continued suffering

At the age of twenty-two, Jesus said to him: "Beloved of My Heart, if you agree to suffer, no longer at intervals as in the past, but continuously, I will spare mankind. I will place you between My Justice and the iniquity of humans. When I exercise, My Justice, by sending a multitude of disasters upon them, finding you in the middle, it is you who will be affected and they will be spared. Otherwise, I will not be able to hold back the arm of God's righteousness. longer."

Bedridden for more than 64 years

Luisa agreed and so she was bedridden. for the rest of his life, more than sixty-four years. It is his younger sister Angela remained unmarried, who cared for Luisa throughout her life.

Repeated vomiting

At that time, Luisa was still taking a little food that she immediately vomited. But Extraordinarily enough, the food reappeared all over again. whole on the plate and more beautiful than before.

Spiritual pains Indescribable

Luisa also suffered from pain indescribable spiritual, especially the absence of Jesus which she felt painfully.

No bedsores for 64 Years

His fifth and last confessor, Don Benedetto Calvi certifies another phenomenon extraordinary: "During the sixty-four years she was Bedridden, she never had a bedsor."

Mystical marriage

Luisa never married. Has twenty-three years she received the grace of Marriage Mystique on October 16, 1888. Crucified wife, Luisa never became a nun as she wished, but Jesus told her that she was "the true one". religious of His Heart."

Gift of the Divine Will

On September 8, 1889, eleven months later, this Marriage was renewed in Heaven in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity. It is on this occasion that Luisa received for the first time the Gift of the Divine Will.

Marriage of the Cross

Shortly after meeting Luisa, Blessed Annibale Di Francia, her confessor extraordinary and censor of his work, wrote to Her subject: "Even if she does not possess no human science, (Luisa could barely read and write) she is endowed with a lot of wisdom entirely celestial, and the science of the Saints. His way of speaking radiates light and consoles; ingenious by nature, formal studies that she carried out in her youth are limited to a first year."

Alone, hidden, unknown

Among its character traits, it should be noted that Luisa loved discretion and self-effacement and possessed a great predisposition to obedience.

Blessed Annibale Di Francia adds: "She wants to be alone, hidden, unknown. For nothing in the world Luisa would have wanted only her privacy and his communications with the Lord Jesus be revealed publicly, especially during his lifetime. If Jesus Himself had not demanded it. It has always demonstrated the greater obedience, first to Jesus and then with regard to his confessors that Jesus He himself assigned her. » This provision made him go through difficult times during the course from which she felt cruelly the conflict between her natural inclination and the demands of its mission, such as willed by Jesus. It can be said that for forty years, She was violent on this point, while sharing the Jesus' sufferings to save souls, making proof of exceptional generosity, almost inhuman, at the very least incomprehensible. It is difficult to conceive of a deeper self-forgetfulness far from Luisa's.

Five confessors

From his adolescence and throughout his Luisa was assigned five confessors appointed by different Archbishops of his diocese and who succeeded her until her death. Don Gennaro Di Gennaro, parish priest of Saint Joseph was his third confessor from l898 to l922. It was he who ordered him, in obedience to write to the As the days went by, everything that happened between Jesus and her. Every day, Mass was celebrated in Luisa's room, which was truly exceptional at that time. It is Pope Pius X who granted permission. The curtains remained closed around his bed for more than two hours after the Communion, while she was performing Thanksgiving.

Luisa's death

Luisa returned to the Father's House at the age of 81, on March 4, 1947, following a pneumonia that lasted fifteen days. It was the only disease of which She suffered during her long life. His death was marked by extraordinary phenomena. Because of the if Many experiences of outings out of body of his soul Throughout his life, doctors took four days before to declare her truly dead. As usual Luisa sat upright in her bed with four pillows behind her. Luisa does not never relied on them because she didn't need sleep. It was impossible to lengthen it even with the help of several people; only his spine was rigid. It was therefore necessary to build a tomb special in the shape of an "L". Unlike the usual rigidity of her body when she traveled night with Jesus throughout the world and the centuries, Now his body was flexible. The Doctors could move his head in all the directions without any effort, raise his arms, bend his wrists and his fingers remained flexible. They raised his eyelids and found that his eyes were always shiny and not veiled. Luisa still seemed to be in life or simply asleep. After many examinations, Doctors eventually pronounced him dead. She remained thus for four days on her deathbed without no sign of decomposition although it was not In no way embalmed. We could add a lot Other extraordinary events that have characterized the life of Luisa Piccarreta and which confirm in a way Eloquent the many special graces which it has received to accomplish its unique mission, and exceptional, beyond human comprehension.

Fiat!

History of Luisa's writings Piccareta

Don Gennaro Di Gennaro, Third Confessor of Luisa Piccarreta remained twenty-four years in his service. Perceiving the wonders of the Lord upon his soul, he ordered Luisa to write down everything that the God's grace was working in her. All reasons to escape this obligation to write were vain for Luisa; even his literary abilities were not a sufficient reason to dispense it to write. Thus, on February 28 of the year In 1899, Luisa began to write her newspaper. The last booklet was completed on December 28 1938. date on which his fifth and last confessor, Don Benedetto Calvi ordered him to cease to write. For forty years, Luisa wrote in all thirty-six volumes which basically constitute his autobiographical diary, the title of which was given by Jesus Himself:

"The Kingdom of Fiat in the midst of creatures, The Book of Heaven"

And Jesus added a subtitle saying to Luisa's extraordinary confessor, the Blessed Annibale Di Francia: "My son, the title you will give to the book you will have printed concerning My Divine Will will be: "The Creatures' reminder of order, rank, and purpose for which they were created by God." »

These thirty-six volumes constitute a complete teaching on the Divine Will, revealing us the interior life of Jesus in His Humanity, the purpose of creation, the role of redemption, the return of man to his original state and Love God's infinity towards his creatures... These writings constitute true mystical catechesis and acetic in conformity with the Magisterium of the Church. These teachings explain and illuminate with a light new the content of the Gospels without changing their meaning deep. The central pillar on which they rest is the "OUR" FATHER ... may Thy Reign come, Thy Will be done on earth as in the heaven" as Jesus taught. The first volume tells the life of Luisa until the moment when She was ordered to write. It was completed in 1926 by "Notes des souvenirs de son enfance." In addition, Luisa wrote a very large number of prayers, novenas according to the teaching received from Jesus to teach us to pray in the Divine Will, that is, by letting Jesus pray in us as He did in His Humanity. On demand of Blessed Annibale Di Francia around the year 1913 or In 1914, she wrote the "Hours of the Passion" to which she added practical reflections a few years later. These hours were first published in 1915. There were six editions published in Italian who received the Imprimatur. Luisa also wrote thirty-one meditations for the month of May entitled: "The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will". She completed These meditations on May 6, 1930. This work was published in Italian under the title of: "La Regina Del Cielo Nel Regne Della Divina Volontà: Meditazioni da farsi, nel mese di Maggio. per la Casa della Divina Volontà." Luisa She also wrote several letters and maintained Especially in the last years of his life, a important correspondence with pious souls who took advantage of her advice and the enlightenment she had received from Jesus to learn how to to live and pray in the Divine Will. In 1926, the First nineteen volumes (only writings available at at that time) received the Imprimatur of the Archbishop Msgr. Guiseppe Leo and the "Nihil Obstat" of the Blessed Annibale Di Francia, ecclesiastical censor appointed by the Archbishop of Trani; In other words, writings are considered by the Church to be being free from errors concerning faith and morals as interpreted by the Catholic Church. After Luisa's death, on March 4, 1947, about twenty years during which his writings met Little interest and were put on hold. However witnesses who had known her personally and had were affected by the writings, did not did not lose their fervor. They testified with Conviction how their lives were changed by the writings and the exemplary life of Luisa. A new surge in interest began to emerge towards the end of the years 1960. Although Blessed Annibale Di Francia, founder of the Rogationist Fathers of the Sacred Heart and of the Daughters of Divine Zeal, wanted to publish the nineteen first volumes of the "Book of Heaven", he died before having done this work. It is the Association of the Divine Will in Milan, Italy who made the publication in the 1970s. By Subsequently, they were translated into Spanish, some into English and other languages. A pro-manuscript (unofficial) French version of some volumes currently exist in Quebec since 1999. In 1994, before the opening of the beatification process by Luisa Piccarreta, a tribunal was established to investigate on his life and a team of theologians to scrutinize his writings. The "Devil's Advocates" whose task is to present arguments against the Person involved in beatification were unable to raise a single objection against Luisa and her Written. On March 28, 1994, the writings received the "Non Obstare" of Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In addition, the Cardinal Angelo Felici, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints, also donated the "No Obstare". He signed a Historical Letter (official) sent to Archbishop Carmelo Cassatio of the Archdiocese of Trani where Luisa lived, telling her that he was happy to let her know that there was no objection on the part of the Vatican to the official opening of Luisa's Cause for Beatification Piccarreta and therefore to begin the procedures. On 20 November 1994, the feast of Christ the King, the Archbishop Carmelo Cassatio thus officially opened the trial of beatification. On June 8, 1995, the first version English of the first nineteen volumes, (written in the United States by Thomas Fahy, President of the Centre of the Divine Will in Jacksonville, Florida), received the equivalent of an imprimatur of Mgr. Guiseppe Carata (Trani, Italy). In January 1996, Cardinal Ratzinger released the thirty-four volumes of the "Book of Heaven" which had been held in the Vatican Archives for fifty-eight years and, photocopies were given to the Archbishop Carmelo Cassatio of the Archdiocese of Trani and President of the Tribunal for the Cause of Beatification of Luisa Piccarreta. Volumes thirty-five and thirty-six (written later) were also given to him. In 1997, at The interior of the beatification process in courses, two highly qualified theologians, appointed by the Church for the revision of Luisa's writings submitted their reports attesting that they had not found any These writings nothing that was contrary to the faith and the Catholic morality. In summary, the complete file concerning the writings of Luisa Piccarreta is obviously net of suspicion. Anyone can deliver them with a clear conscience and remain at peace. May God receive all the glory that belongs to Him, which He has planned to receive from all his Creation, a subject that is superbly revealed to us in the "Book of Heaven". Following the Congress Corato International in October 2002, the Application for the Cause for Luisa's beatification formed a committee assistance to the Cause, mainly for the purpose of helping the Application to produce the official and authorized version of Luisa's writings in English and Spanish and for produce explanatory theological notes in both languages as well as Italian. This special committee which a very great responsibility included the Father Pablo Martin, Father Carlos Massieu, Marianela Perez, Alejandra Acuña (for the Spanish version), Mr. Stephen Patton (expert theologian), Mr. Thomas Fahy (for the English version). This gigantic work is currently being in progress.

The Cause of Beatification of Luisa

Already from its Luisa was known as "La Santa". A few years before his death, Blessed Annibale Di Francia wrote this beautiful eulogy about Luisa: "He seems that Our Lord Jesus Christ, He who multiplies ever more the wonders of his Love wanted to form in this virgin (who He said was the smallest He was) could have found on this earth, devoid of any instruction ) , an instrument suitable for accomplish a mission so unique and sublime that it cannot be compared to no other, i.e. the Kingdom of the Divine Will on earth as in the sky. »

It is Jesus Himself who affirmed it with these words: "Your Mission is great, because it's not just about your personal holiness, but to embrace everyone and everything in order to to extend the Kingdom of My Will to all generations." Luisa was therefore the first new born of the Divine Will, the Leader of the "Second" generation of the children of the Light: the sons and daughters of the Divine Will", the mistress of the most sublime science there is: the Divine Will, the secretary and writer of Jesus. She herself signed her letters: "The little daughter of the Divine Will", title that is inscribed on his tomb in the Parish of Santa Maria Grecia in Corato. Luisa's mission on earth was always subordinate to the official Church. A large number of very reliable testimonies have been rendered concerning Luisa. These individuals include religious and priests, theologians, professors, some future Bishops and Cardinals and even a Blessed whom we have already made mention Father Annibale Di Francia.

On March 28, 1994, the Church, After meetings at the highest level, ordered the Cardinal Felici, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation on the Causes of Saints, to send an official letter to His Excellency Archbishop Carmelo Cassatio declaring that, on the part of Rome, there was no obstacle to the opening of the Cause of Luisa's beatification Piccarreta and therefore to begin the procedures.

One applicant and vice-postulants for the Cause were selected for form an Official Commission under the authority of the Church.

Some descendants of Luisa's sister were also present at Mass. The church was completely filled. On November 20, 1994, Mass was celebrated in the old church mother of Corato on the feast of Christ the King.

Archbishop Carmelo Cassatio, at the head of the Tribunal, proceeded to the official swearing-in and installation of the six members of the Tribunal: Archbishop Cassatio, Msgr. Felice Posa, Msgr. Pietro Ciraselli, Padre G. Bernardino Bucci, Father John Brown and Mr. Cataldo Lurillo.

The 2 February 1998, Bishop Carmelo Cassatio established the Diocesan Commission "The Handmaid of the Lord Luisa Piccarretta" and the Diocesan Office for the Cause of Beatification of the Servant of the Lord Luisa Piccarreta whose tasks are described in the statutes and that have helped to advance the Cause of Beatification and the Official Version of the Writings by Luisa Piccarreta. This Diocesan Commission was dissolved at the closing of the Cause of Beatification at the diocesan level.

Transfer of the Cause of Beatification in Rome

From 27 to 29 October 2005 was held in Corato the 3rd International Congress on Divine Will during which the closure of the Cause for the beatification of Luisa Piccarreta at the level of the Archdiocese of Trani-Barletta-Bisceglie and the transfer of his Cause of Beatification in Rome. During this Congress, the Mayor of the city of Corato made a ceremony solemn to change the name of the street where Luisa lived most of his life. The name of the street that bore previously the name "Via N. Suaro" was changed to: "Via Luisa Piccarreta, Serva de Dio (Servant of God)". The ceremony of closing took place in the Mother Church of Corato where Luisa had been baptized Sunday, April 23, 1865. Archbishop Pichierri was the main celebrant of the Solemn Mass after which he presided over the implementation official seal on wooden boxes containing documents concerning the Cause of Beatification and the writings of Luisa and who were to be sent to Rome. A few days later, following the arrival at Rome of these sealed boxes, a new postulator for the Cause of Beatification was appointed. These are a woman Mrs. Silvia Monica Corrales, born in Argentina. There is no longer any court for the Cause of Luisa in her diocese. Everything about the Cause of Beatification of Luisa now falls under the authority of Rome and his Cause is especially in God's hands who desires more than anything than the Kingdom of his Divine Will reign at last on earth as in Heaven as it was the case originally in the Garden of Eden. Let us pray with fervor and perseverance for the beatification of Luisa what would open wide the doors of the Church so that this Gift of Life in the Divine Will may be recognized and taught within the Church itself by its pastors and thus would hasten the coming of this Kingdom of the Divine Will on our earth, a Kingdom of Peace, of Wisdom, Light and Unity.

Luisa's assistance

Since the opening of his Cause of Beatification, Luisa gives all the signs of her assistance on earth. Several miracles are reported to have occurred thanks to to his intercession in several countries and which have been submitted to the Tribunal for investigation. A choice of prayers to make a novena to Luisa Piccarreta in order to obtain A special favor is included below. For any favors obtained through Luisa's intercession, please advise the Franco-Canadian Association Luisa Piccarreta whose Contact information is listed under the theme: Franco-Canadian Association Luisa Piccarreta.

It is requested by the Cause to Rome for not writing letters to the Vatican to show your support for the Cause of Beatification by Luisa. Any letter would only delay the Cause of beatification and would have no influence on the Vatican because the Vatican has its own criteria and procedures already established and unchangeable and that out of politeness those responsible must Reply to all these letters which removes precious time for the advancement of the Cause. The unique criterion by which the Church ultimately judges Merits of a candidate for holiness is that which refers to the two "I's". The first "I" is the imitation of Jesus Christ and the second "I" is intercession. This means that the Church is looking at the Proofs of the powerful intercession of this soul after his death. Other criteria such as stigma, bilocation, reading in souls and other phenomena mystics are not part of the criterion for holiness.

Pilgrimages

More and more people are coming visit the Headquarters of the Luisa Piccarreta Association which is in the house where Luisa lived and where began on earth the third Fiat of God, the Fiat of Sanctification.

St. John Paul II announced the Unfolding Holiness in the Divine Will for our time

God Himself had planned to provoke this "new and divine" holiness with which the Holy Spirit desires to enrich Christians at the dawn of the third millennium, in order to "make Christ the heart of the world"

Excerpt from § 6 of the Message to the Fathers Rogationists on the occasion of the first centenary of the foundation of the Congregation of the Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus (1897-1997)

Benedict XVI and the Will of God

"Friendship is not only Knowledge, it is above all communion of will. It means that my will grows towards the "yes" of membership in his. His will, in effect, is not for me an external will and foreigner, to which I more or less comply willingly, or to which I do not comply. No, in Friendship, my will as I grow unites with his, his will becomes mine and thus I truly become myself" (BENOÎT XVI 29 June 2011) "Where the God's will is heaven, because the essence From heaven is to do only one thing with the Will of God" (Jesus of Nazareth).

« There is the third expression of prayer of Jesus and it is she who is decisive, there where the human will fully adheres to the divine will. Jesus, in fact, concludes by saying forcefully: "However, not what I want, but what You want! (Mk 14:36c). In the unit from the divine person of the Son, the human will finds its full realization in the total surrender of the Self to the You of the Father, called Abba. Saint Maximus the Confessor states that from the moment of creation Of man and woman, the human will is Guided by the divine will and it is precisely in the "yes" to God that the human will is fully free and finds its realization. Unfortunately, because of sin, this "yes" to God has been transformed into Opposition: Adam and Eve thought that the "no" to God was the summit of freedom, meant be fully yourself. Jesus on the Mount of Oliviers brings the human will back to the "yes" total to God; in Him the natural will is fully integrated into the direction it takes gives the Divine Person. Jesus lives his existence according to the the center of his Person: being the Son of God. His human will is drawn into the Self of the Son, who surrenders himself totally to the Father. Thus, Jesus gives us says that it is only in the conformation of one's own will to that of God, that the human being arrives at its true height becomes "divine"; it is not that when leaving him, it is only in the "yes" to God that Adam's desire for All of us, that of being completely free. It's what Jesus does in Gethsemane: by transferring The human will in the divine will is born the true man, and we are redeemed" (General Audience, 1 February 2012).

The Divine Will in the liturgy of the Holy Church

We can read at the prayer of Saturday Vespers of the first week of Advent, (week I of the Psalter), the 7th December 2019, the day we celebrated Saint Ambrose, bishop and doctor of the Church:

"Lord Almighty and Merciful, does not let concern for our present tasks stand in the way our walk to meet your Son; but awakens In us this intelligence of the heart that prepares us to welcome him and bring us into his own life".

Consecration to Luisa's Divine Will

"O adorable and Divine Will, here I am. before the immensity of your Light. Let your eternal Goodness opens the doors to me and makes me enter into You to live my life there. O adorable Will, I prostrate myself before your Light, I, the last of all creatures, that You may place me yourself In the small group of daughters and sons of Supreme Tone Fiat.

O Divine Will, prostrate in my nothingness, I ask for Your Enlightenment and beg You to immerse me in You and to remove from me all that is not of You. You will be my life, the center of my intelligence, the rapture of my heart and whole being.

I no longer want the human will to live in my heart. I will throw it away from me and thus build in me the new Paradise of peace, happiness and love. There I will be Always cheerful. I will have a singular strength and a holiness that will sanctify all things and lead them to You.

Prostrate before You, O Divine Will, I asks for the help of the Most Holy Trinity so that I may live in your cloister of Love and may restored in me the first order of Creation, as originally, O heavenly Mother, Queen of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, take my hand and introduce me into the Light of the Divine Will. My very tender Mom, you will be my guide and teach me how to live in this Will, and how to remain in it at all times never.

Celeste Mom, I devote myself entirely to Your Immaculate Heart, You will teach me the doctrine of the Divine Will and I will listen very much Carefully your teachings. Thou shalt cover me with thy cloak in order to Let the infernal serpent not dare to enter this sacred Eden to train and train me bring back into the labyrinth of human will.

Jesus, Heart of the Most Holy and Divine Will, You will give me your Fire so that it burns me, consumes me, nourishes me, and may Life be consolidated in me in the Divine Will. Saint Joseph, you will be my protector, the keeper of my heart, and you will keep in your hands the keys to my will. Thou shalt guard my heart jealously and will never give it to me again so that I cannot never leave the Divine Will. My Guardian Angel keep me, Defend me and help me in all things so that my Eden may all men flourish and attract all men to the Kingdom of Divine Will. Amen. Fiat."

TOUR OF THE CREATION

In the Holy Divine Will I enter into you Lord Jesus and I transform myself into you Lord Jesus. During this fusion, I enter the life of every man, of Adam to the last, and I bind my prayer to each of them. I also link my prayer to all of the following:

Revelations from Our Lord Jesus on His Holy Humanity

Our Lord Jesus had neither the faith nor hope, but only Love

"I had neither faith nor hope because I was God; I only had Love (November 6, 1906, Volume 7, page 53).

The infinite suffering of the God-Man

"Look in me how many millions of the cross contains my Humanity. Thus, the crosses received of my Will were incalculable, my suffering was endless, I moaned under the weight of infinite suffering. This infinite suffering had such power that she gave me death to all the moments by giving me a cross for every act of the will human being opposed to the Divine Will.

The cross coming by my Will is not made of wood, which makes us feel only its weight and her suffering, she is rather a cross of light and fire, which burns, consumes and implants itself in such a way to be one with the one who receives it" (November 28, 1923, volume 16, pages 64 and 65).

Our Lord Jesus to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, whose writings received the "Non Obstare" (do not prevent) Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on March 28, 1994:

The great good that the Kingdom of the divine Fiat will bring. How he will be the preservator of all evils, of all diseases.

The bodies will no longer be subject to decomposition, but will remain compound in their sepulchre.

Just like the Virgin, who performed no miracles, performed the great miracle of giving a God to creatures, the one who must make known the Kingdom will accomplish the great miracle of giving a Divine Will

(October 22, 1926)

I thought of the holy and divine Vouloir, and I said to myself: " But, what will be the great good of this Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat? » And Jesus, interrupting my thought, moved rapidly in me and said to myself:

My daughter, what will be the great good? ! What will be the great good ? ! The Kingdom of my Fiat will contain all the goods, all the miracles, all the most sensational wonders; Moreover, it will surpass them all together. And if a miracle means restore sight to a blind man, straighten a cripple, heal a sick person, resurrecting a dead man, etc., the Kingdom of my Will will have the preservative food, and for all the creatures that will enter it, there is no will have no risk of becoming blind, infirm or sick. The death will no longer have any power over the soul; What if She will still have it on the body, it will no longer be a death, but a passage. Without the food of sin and a degraded human will that produced the corruption, and, with the preservative food of my Will, bodies will no longer be subject to decomposition and to become horribly corrupt in the point of sowing fear, even among the strongest, as This is now the case; but they will remain composed in their tomb awaiting the day of resurrection of all. Do you think it's a Greatest miracle to give sight to a blind man, to straighten a crippled, to heal a sick person, or to have a means of preservation so that the eye cannot never lose your sight, that you can always walk straight, Always be healthy? I believe that the miracle of preservation is greater than the miracle that occurs after a misfortune.

This is the great difference between the Kingdom of Redemption and the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat: in the First, the miracle was for the poor creatures to which, as today, a misfortune or another happens; and That's why I set an example, externally, to operate different kinds of healings that were a symbol of healings I gave to souls, which will easily return to their infirmity. The second will be a miracle of preservation, because My Will possesses miraculous power, and those who let themselves be Dominating by him will no longer be subject to evil. Consequently It will not be necessary to work miracles because all will always be kept healthy, beautiful and holy – worthy of that beauty out of our hands creators by creating the creature.

The Kingdom of the Divine Fiat will make The great miracle of banishment from all evils, from all miseries, of all fears, because he will not fulfill not a miracle according to time and circumstances, but will keep the children of his Kingdom in himself with an act of miracle continuously, and to preserve them from all evils by making of them the children of his Kingdom. This, in souls; but there will also be many changes in the bodies, Because it is always sin that is the food of all evils. The sin removed, he There will be no more food for evil; In addition, as my Will and sin cannot coexist, Human nature will also have its beneficial effects.

My daughter, having to prepare the big one miracle of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat, I do with you, girl firstborn of my Will, what I have made with the Sovereign Queen, my Mother, when I had to prepare the Kingdom of Redemption. I got it attracted very close to me. I kept it so busy in its interior in order to be able to form with it the miracle of redemption for which there was such a great need. There were so many things we had to do, redo, and complete together, that I had to hide in its outward appearance all that could be called miracle, except for its perfect virtue. In this, I made her freer in order to let her cross the infinite sea of the eternal Fiat, and let it may have access to the Divine Majesty for obtain the Kingdom of Redemption.

What would be greater: that the Celestial Queen would have restored sight to the blind, the word to the dumb, and so on, or is it the miracle to bring down the eternal Word on earth? The first would have been accidental, transient and Individual; The second is a permanent miracle – it's there for all those who want it. As a result, first would have been like nothing compared to the second. She was the real sun, the one that, eclipsing all things, eclipsing the very Word of the Father in itself, all the goods, all the effects and the miracles that the Redemption has produced, has caused from it to germinate the light. But, like the sun, it produced goods and Miracles without letting herself be seen or designated as the root cause of all things. In fact, all the good that I did on earth, I did it because The Empress of Heaven has reached the point of having his empire in the Godhead; and by her empire she attracted me from heaven to give me to creatures. I am now doing the same thing with you to prepare the Kingdom of Fiat supreme.

I keep you with me, I make you cross its infinite sea to give you access to the Heavenly Father so that you May he pray, conquer him, have his empire upon him to get the Fiat of my Kingdom. And in order to fill and consume in You all the miraculous power needed to form a Kingdom so holy, I keep you continually busy in your interior by the work of my Kingdom; I send you continually make rounds in order to redo, to complete all that is necessary, and that all should do to to form the great miracle of my Kingdom. Outwardly I let nothing miraculous appear in you, except the light of my Will. Some might say, 'How can this be? Blessed Jesus manifests so many wonders to this creature concerning his Kingdom of the divine Fiat, and the goods he will bring will surpass Creation and Redemption, better again, it will be the crown of both; but Despite such a great good, nothing miraculous can be seen in she, outwardly, in confirmation of the great good of this Kingdom of the eternal Fiat, while the other saints, without the prodigy of this great good, have worked miracles to all not.' But if they consider my dear Mother, the holiest of all creatures, and the great Although she had within her to bring to creatures, No one can compare to her who operated the great miracle to conceive in her the divine Word, and the wonder of giving God to every creature.

And before this great prodigy never before seen or understood, to be able to give the eternal Word to creatures, All the other miracles put together are like little flames in front of the sun. He who can do more, can do less. Similarly way, in the face of the miracle of the Kingdom of my Will restored in creatures, all other miracles will be small flames before the great Sun of my Will. Every Word, Truth, and Manifestation of this Kingdom is a miracle from My Will as a preservator of all evils; It's like tying creatures to an infinite good, to a very great glory and A new beauty – fully divine.

Every truth about my eternal Fiat contains more power and prodigious virtue than if a dead man was risen, a leper healed, a blind man regained his sight or a dumb could speak. In fact, my words about the holiness and power of my Fiat will bring souls back to their origin; they will heal from the leprosy of the human will. They will give them the view to see the goods of the Kingdom of my Will, for until now they were blind. They will give voice to many dumb creatures which, if they could say much, Other things, were like many without words only for my Will; and they will operate the great miracle of being able to give each creature a Divine Will that contains all goods. What does not will not give them my Will when it is in possession of all the children of his Kingdom? That's why I want you to continue to work for my Kingdom – and there is a lot to do to prepare the great miracle that this Kingdom of Fiat is known and possessed. Therefore, be attentive in crossing the infinite sea of my Will, so that the order between the Creator and the creature; Thus, through you, I will be able to To do the great miracle of man's return to me – to its origin.'

I was thinking then about what is written above, especially that every word and manifestation on the Supreme Will is a miracle. And Jesus, to confirm me in what he had said, added: My Girl, what do you think was the greatest miracle when I came? on earth: my word, the gospel I have announced, or the fact that I have restored life to the dead, the sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, etc.? Ah! my daughter, my word, my gospel, was a greater miracle; Especially since the miracles themselves came out of my word. The foundation, the substance of all miracles came out of My creative word. The Sacraments, Creation She herself, permanent miracles, had the life of my word; and my Church itself has my word, my gospel, as a regime and as a foundation.

Thus, my word, my gospel, was a greater miracle than the miracles themselves that did not have life only because of my miraculous word. By therefore, be sure that the word of your Jesus is the greatest miracle. My word is like a wind powerful who runs, hammers the hearing, enters the hearts, warms, purifies, illuminates, passes from nation to nation; It covers the whole world and travels all the centuries.

Who could kill and bury a single one of my words ? No one. And if it sometimes seems that my word is Silent and as if hidden, she never loses her life. When you least expect it, it goes out and gets done. hear everywhere. Centuries will pass for centuries which everything – people and things – will be swallowed up and will disappear, but my word will never pass because it contains Life – the miraculous power of Him from whom She came out. Consequently I confirm that every word and manifestation you receive on my eternal Fiat is the greatest miracle that will serve the Kingdom of My Will. And it's Why I am so pressing you and I am so anxious that every word of my words be manifested and written – Because I see it as a miracle that comes back to me and that will bring so much good to the children of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.

At the time of passage in eternity, God makes one last surprise of Love at the moment of death, giving an hour of Truth so that the soul may make at least one movement of contrition for be saved

"Our Goodness and our Love are so great that We all use Ways to get the creature out of its sin – to save it; and if We don't succeed during his lifetime, We let's make one last Love Surprise at the time of his dead. You must know that at this time, We give the last sign of Love to the creature in him Granting with our Graces, Love and Goodness, by testifying to the tenderness of love proper to soften and win the hardest hearts. When The creature lies between life and death – between the time that is about to end and Eternity which is about to begin – almost in the act to leave his body, your Jesus makes himself seen with a Friendliness that delights, with a Sweetness that chains and softens the bitterness of life, especially at this time extreme. Then there is My Gaze... I look at it with so much of Love to bring out of the creature an act of contrition – an act of love, an act of adhesion at my will.

In this moment of disillusionment, by seeing – touching with His hands how much We loved Him and still love it, the creature feels such a great suffering that she repents of not having loved Us; it recognizes our Will as a principle and Fulfillment of her life and, in satisfaction, she accepts his death to perform an act of our Will. Car tu dois know that if the creature did not accomplish even a single act of God's Will, the gates of Heaven do not would not open; they would not be recognized as heiress of the Celestial Homeland and the Angels and the Saints could not admit him among themselves – and She herself would not want to enter, being aware that it does not belong to him. Without our Will, there is neither Holiness nor Salvation. How many creatures are saved by virtue of this sign of our Love, to the exception of the most perverted and obstinate; even if following the long path of Purgatory would be more suitable for them. The moment of death is Our taking Daily – The discovery of the lost man.

Then He added: My daughter, the Time of death is the time of disillusionment. To this Moment, all things come one after others to say, "Farewell, the earth is finished for you; now begins Eternity. It's for the creature as if it were locked up in a room and someone says, " Behind this door there is another bedroom in which are God, Heaven, Purgatory, Hell; In short, Eternity" But the Creature cannot see any of these things. She hears them affirmed by others; and those who tell him can't see them either, so they talk almost without even believing too much; without giving much importance in setting the tone of their words reality – as something certain.

So, one day, the walls fall and The creature can see with its own eyes what is being done to it had said before. She sees her God and Father who loved him with great Love; she sees the gifts He made him, one by one; and all the rights of love that she He owed and who were broken. She sees that her life belonged to God, not herself. Everything passes before her: Eternity, Paradise, Purgatory, and Hell – the earth that is leaving; the pleasures that turn their backs on him. Everything disappears; the only something that remains present in this room with walls slaughtered: Eternity. What change for the poor creature!

My Goodness is so great, wanting to save everyone, may I allow the fall of These walls when creatures are between life and death – the moment the soul leaves the body to enter into Eternity – so that they can do at least one act of contrition and love for I, recognizing on them my Adorable Will. I can say that I give them an hour of Truth in order to save them. Oh! If all knew The love industries I use at the last moment of their lives to prevent them from escaping My hands more than paternal – they wouldn't wait for this Moment, they would love me all their lives."

Indications and means given by Our Lord Jesus to Luisa to grow in the spiritual life or identify its pitfalls, in order to live in the Divine Will

On humility

The fearful soul or the soul that is not afraid You're welcome

- If the soul is fearful, it is a sign that it relies heavily on herself. Finding in it only Weaknesses and miseries, then, naturally and precisely, she feared. If, on the other hand, the soul is not afraid of anything, it is a a sign that she puts all her trust in God. His miseries and weaknesses are lost in God; she feels clothed with Being divine. It is no longer the soul that works, but God in the soul. What can she fear? True trust in God reproduces Life Divine in the soul (January 3, 1907, volume 7, page 61).

On the disorder

- Being affected by some disorder, is the sign that we move somewhat away from God, because we move in him and not having perfect peace is impossible (June 17) 1900, Volume 3, page 83),

- In order not to be troubled, the soul must be well in God, it must tend totally towards Him as towards a single point and she has to look at something else with an indifferent eye. If it does otherwise, in each something she does, sees or hears, she is invested with a worry like a slow fever that makes her exhausted and troubled, unable to understand herself (May 23, 1905, volume 6, page 85).

- In trouble, it is self-love that wants to Demonstrate to rule or it is the enemy who wants to harm (22 July 1905, Volume 6, page 91),

- If the soul is troubled about everything, it is a sign that it is filled with itself. If she gets confused for One thing and not for another, it is a sign that it has something of God, but that it has much emptiness to fill. If nothing the trouble is a sign that it is totally filled with God (9 August 1905, Volume 6, page 92),

- He who does not like the truth is troubled and tormented by her (January 16, 1906, volume 6, page 109).

Without the signatures of resignation From humility and obedience, the soul will be forced to remain in worry, fear and dangers and will have like God his own ego by being courted by pride and rebellion

- Without obedience, resignation and Humility are prone to instability. Where from The Strict Need for the Signature of Obedience to validate the passport allowing you to pass through the realm of spiritual bliss whose soul can enjoy here on earth.

Without the signatures of resignation, humility and obedience, the passport will be without value and soul will always be distant from the kingdom bliss; She will be forced to stay in worry, fear and danger. For its own sake Disgrace, she will have her own ego as God and she will be Courted by pride and rebellion (April 16, 1900, Volume 3, page 63).

Thinking about yourself

- Thinking about oneself is like coming out of God and come back in yourself. Thinking about yourself is never a virtue, but always a vice, even if it takes on the aspect of of the property (August 23, 1905, volume 6, page 94).

Concern oneself with sanctifying oneself

- The soul that is mainly concerned with sanctifying itself lives at the expense of his own holiness, his own strength and De son propre amour (November 15, 1918, volume 12, page 71).

Losing humanly to win divinely

- My Daughter, Who Loses Wins and Who Wins Loses (October 16, 1918, Volume 12, page 68).

On Confession

- The main thing that renews man and makes him a true Catholic is the Confession (March 14, 1900, Volume 3, page 55).

Who talks a lot is empty of God

- If someone talks a lot, it is a sign that he is empty in his within, while he who is filled with God, finding more pleasure in his interior, does not want to lose this pleasure and speaks only out of necessity. And even When he speaks, he never leaves his interior and tries, in what concerns him, to engrave in others what he feels in he. On the other hand, he who talks a lot is not only empty of God but, by his many words, he tries to empty others of God (May 8, 1909, Volume 9, page 7).

Here's how to recognize that we live fully in the Divine Will from the clarifications given by Our Lord Jesus to Luisa

In fact, there must be nothing in the soul that is of the order of the human, that is to say everything that the being knows human from birth internally. You have to die to everything in us. For this, we have only to give our Yes to Love and it is God who does the rest, asking to exchange our will human by the Divine Will.

Here is detailed by Our Lord Jesus Christ Itself the specific characteristics related to life in the Divine Will, with the mention of the date of message and reference in the work of the Book of Sky:

- union of the will of the creature with that of the Creator, dissolution in the eternal Will (December 26, 1919, Volume 12, page 134), and none possibility of choice is not possible, especially not to choose something negative, committing a sin internally, since there is no more will human, there is no more evil in the soul,

- Everything must be silent in the soul: the esteem of the other, glory, pleasures, honors, grandeur, own will, creatures, etc. (January 2, 1919, Volume 12, page 76),

- the suffering of deprivation of the presence of Jesus - so that souls may be provided with light and Divine Life - (January 4, 1919, Volume 12, page 77), is "a death ruthless" that "kills" Luisa, who says that all "Other sufferings are only smiles and kisses of Jesus" in comparison (May 24, 1919, volume 12, page 121),

Jesus adds by explaining the reason for this deprivation: "Whenever you are deprived of me, it is a death that You feel and thus repair the dead that souls have for me. give by their sins" (June 16, 1919, volume 12, pages 123-124). Heaven seems closed for Luisa and Non-existence of contact with the Earth in it (November 3, 1919, volume 12, page 130),

- absence of fear, doubt and fear, especially Hell with the major benefit of security (15 October 1919, Volume 12, page 130),

- stripping of material tastes and spiritual (December 6, 1904, volume 6, page 73),

- deprivation of all human means, where in this state, the person cannot complain, defend or To free from what is for her a misfortune (June 24, 1900, Volume 3, page 85),

- death to his own life, more desire, affection, nor love, everything inside is like death, and the sign the surest that Jesus' teachings have borne of the fruit in the soul is that one no longer feels anything of oneself, knowing that life in the Divine Will consists in dissolve in Jesus (September 13, 1919, volume 12, page 128),

Features and consequences of life in the Divine Will

- Living in the Divine Will is an eternal communion, which is greater than receiving sacramental communion (23 March 1910, Volume 9, page 32),

- True holiness consists in living in the Divine Will, knowing that this holiness has roots so deep that there is no danger of it faltering. The soul who has this holiness is firm, not subject to inconstancy and wilful defaults. She is attentive to her homework. It is sacrificed and detached from everything and of all, even spiritual directors. She grew up in the so much so that its flowers and fruits reach Heaven! It is so hidden in God that the earth sees little or nothing of it. The Divine Will absorbed it. Jesus is his life, the craftsman of his soul and his model. She has nothing in it clean, all being in common with Jesus (August 14 1917, Volume 12, page 28),

- Living in the Divine Will leads to the most Great holiness to which the creature can Aspirer (January 20, 1907, Volume 7, page 64),

- He who lives in the Divine Will is always at peace, in Perfect contentment and doesn't worry about anything at all (May 24) 1910, Volume 9, page 34),

- The soul that lives in the Divine Will does what God wills and God does what it wants, to the point that this soul reaches the point of weakening and disarming God as he does. Pleases by this supreme union (November 1, 1910, volume 9, page 51),

- The soul that lives in the Divine Will is Paradise of Our Lord Jesus on earth (November 3, 1910, volume 9, page 52), the Will of God is the paradise of the soul on the earth and the soul that lives in the Divine Will is the Paradise of God (July 3, 1910, Volume 7, page 29),

- By living in the Divine Will, the soul acquires the most perfect love; she succeeds in loving Jesus with His own Love; it becomes all love; she is in contact continual with Jesus (November 6, 1906, volume 7, page 53),

- Life in the Divine Will implies that the soul either all spiritualized, and come to be as a pure spirit, as if matter no longer existed in she, so the wills (human and Divine) can Perfectly Make One (May 21, 1900, Volume 3, page 73),

- Acting in God and staying in peace is the same thing. In God, all is peace (June 17, 1900, volume 3, page 83), peace is The surest sign that one suffers and works for me, she is a foretaste of the peace my children will enjoy with me au Ciel (July 29, 1909, volume 9, page 13),

Life in the Divine Will and Three powers of the soul: intelligence, memory and willpower

From volume 12 of the work "The Book of Heaven", From the message given on May 8, 1919, page 116:

It is in intelligence, memory and will (the 3 powers of the soul), the noblest part of being, that the divine image is printed.

The pain that afflicted Our Most Lord Jesus during His Passion was the hypocrisy of the Pharisees s

From volume 13 of the work "The Book of Heaven", Message given November 22, 1921, pages 60 and 61:

"My daughter, the pain that afflicted me the most during my Passion was the hypocrisy of the Pharisees; they feigned justice when they were the most unjust. They simulated holiness, rectitude and order, while they were the most perverted, outside of any rule and in a total mess. During that they pretended to honor God, they honored themselves, looked after their own interests, their own comfort.

Light could not enter them, for their Hypocrisy had closed all doors. Their vanity was the key that, with a double turn, locked them in their death and stopped even any dim light. Even the idolater Pilate found more light than the Pharisees, for all that he did and said flowed Not pretentiousness, but fear.

I feel more attracted to the sinner, even the most perverse, if not deceitful, than by those who are better but hypocritical. Oh! How disgusting me He who does good on the surface, pretends to be good, prays, but in whom evil and selfish interest are camouflaged; While his lips pray, his Heart is far from me. At the moment when he does good, he thinks of satisfying his brutal passions. Despite the Although he apparently fulfills and utters words, the hypocritical man cannot bring light to others. because he locked the doors.

He acts as an incarnate demon who, Under the disguise of good, tempts creatures. Seeing something good, the man is attracted. But When he is at the best of the way, he is dragged in the most serious sins. Oh! How many Temptations in the guise of sin are less dangerous than those under the appearance of the good! It is less dangerous to treat with perverse people only with those who seem good but are hypocrites. How many poisons they hide! How many souls have they not poisoned?

If it were not for these simulations and if all knew me for what I am, the roots of evil would be removed from the face of the earth and all would be deceived ».

He who lives in the Divine Will does not can go to Purgatory

From volume 11 of the work "The Book of Heaven", From the message given on March 8, 1914, page 73:

« My daughter, the soul that lives in my Will cannot go to purgatory, that place where souls are purified of everything.

After jealously guarding her in my Will during his life, how could I allow fire From the purgatory of touching her?

At most, she will be missing some clothes, but my Will will clothe her with all that is necessary before to reveal to him the Divinity.

Small number of saints of the Divine Will because you have to strip yourself of everything

From volume 12 of the work "The Book of Heaven", Excerpts from the message given on April 15, 1919, pages 112 and 113:

"My daughter, only my Will brings True happiness. It alone procures all goods to the soul, making her queen of true happiness. Only souls who will have lived in my Will will be queens with my throne because they will be born of my Will. I must tell you that the people around me were not generally not happy [...].

The saints in my Will, symbolized by my risen Humanity, will be few [...].

Holiness in my will has nothing which is proper to the soul, but everything comes to it from God.

Be willing to strip oneself Everything is very demanding; As a result, there will be no Not many souls who will succeed. You're on the side of the few."

The soul must die to its own life to be able to live from the very life of Jesus

From volume 12 of the work "The Book of Heaven", Message given September 13, 1919, page 128:

« My bitterness increased and I complained to my ever kind Jesus saying to him: "Pity, my Love, pity! Don't you see how much I am Destroyed? I feel like I have no life, or desire, neither affection, nor love; everything in my interior is like dead. Ah! Jesus! Where are in me the fruits of all your teachings?" While I was saying that, I felt Jesus close to me who bound me and me attached with strong chains. He said:

"My daughter, the surest sign that my Teachings have produced fruit in you is that you no longer feel nothing of yourself. Life in My Will does not Isn't it about dissolving into me? What for Do you seek your desires, your affections, etc. if you have them? dissolved in my Will? My Will is immense and that takes too much effort to pin it down. To live in me, it is worth better not to live by one's own life; otherwise, we show that we is not happy to live my life and be completely dissolved in me."

So that the soul recognizes itself only in God, everything it holds of itself must be reduced to nothing

From volume 3 of the work "The Book of Heaven", Message given June 27, 1900, pages 87-88:

« My daughter, what I want from you is that you recognize you in me, not in yourself. Thus, you do not will remember more of you, but of me alone.

Ignoring yourself, you will not recognize than me. To the extent that you will forget and destroy yourself You yourself will advance in my knowledge, you will recognize yourself only in me.

When you do this, you will no longer think with your brain, but with mine. Thou shalt no longer look with thy eyes, thou shalt Speak no more with your mouth, the beating of your heart will not will no longer be yours, you will no longer work with your hands, you will no longer work with your hands. Walk more with your feet. You will look with my Eyes, you speak with my mouth, your heartbeat will be mine, you will work with my hands, walk with my Feet.

And for this to happen, i.e. the soul recognizes itself only in God, it must return to its origins, that is, to God, from whom it comes. It must conform fully to its creator ; all that it holds of itself and which is not in In conformity with its origins, it must reduce it to None.

In this way only, naked and Stripped, she will be able to return to her origins, recognize oneself only in God and work in agreement with the purpose for which it was created. To conform completely to me, the soul must become invisible like me."

Consecration to Luisa's Divine Will

O Divine Will, prostrate in my nothingness, I ask for Your Enlightenment and beg You to immerse me in You and to remove from me all that is not of You. You will be my life, the center of my intelligence, the rapture of my heart and whole being.

I no longer want the human will to live in my heart. I will throw it away from me and thus build in me the new Paradise of peace, happiness and love. There I will be Always cheerful. I will have a singular strength and a holiness that will sanctify all things and lead them to You.

The great good that the Kingdom of the divine Fiat will bring. How he will be the preservator of all evils, of all diseases.

The bodies will no longer be subject to decomposition, but will remain compound in their sepulchre.

Just like the Virgin, who performed no miracles, performed the great miracle of giving a God to creatures, the one who must make known the Kingdom will accomplish the great miracle of giving a Divine Will

(October 22, 1926)

At the time of passage in eternity, God makes one last surprise of Love at the moment of death, giving an hour of Truth so that the soul may make at least one movement of contrition for be saved
