Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar Accompanied by Scripture

Luisa must crush the head of the infernal serpent. The living in the Divine Will is the complete triumph of the Creator over the creature. The primary purpose of the coming of Jesus upon earth was that the Divine Will would triumph over the human will.

I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your seed and her seed;
he shall bruise your head,[a]
    and you shall bruise his heel.”
(Genesis 3:15)

Volume 15-April 28, 1923

I felt as though immersed in the endless light of the Eternal Will, and my sweet Jesus told me: “My daughter, my Divinity does not need to operate in order to make Its works come out – It only needs to want them. So, I want and I do; the greatest works, the most beautiful, come out upon my mere wanting them. On the other hand, even if the creature wanted them, if she does not work, she does not move, she does nothing. Now, to one who makes my Will her own and lives in It as in her own royal palace, the same power is communicated, as much as it is possible for a creature.”
Now, while He was saying this, I felt myself being drawn outside of myself, and I found an ugly monster under my feet, which was biting itself out of rage. And Jesus, being near me, added: “Just as my Virgin Mother crushed the head of the infernal serpent, so do I want another virgin, who must be the first possessor of the Supreme Will, to press that infernal head again, so as
to crush it and debilitate it, in such a way as to confine it into hell, that she may have full dominion over it, and it may not dare to approach those who must live in my Will. Therefore, place your foot on its head, and crush it.” Made brave, I did it, and it would bite itself more, and so as not to feel my touch, it shut itself up in the darkest abysses. Then Jesus resumed His speaking: “My daughter, do you think that the living in my Will is nothing? No, no – on the contrary, it is the all, it is the fulfillment of all sanctities, it is the absolute dominion of oneself, of one’s passions, and of one’s capital enemies; it is the complete triumph of the Creator over the creature. So, if she adheres, and I come to having her live in my Will, and she does not want to know her own ever again, I have nothing left to want from the creature, and she has nothing left to give Me. All my yearnings are fulfilled, my designs realized – there is nothing left but to delight in each other. It is true that I came upon earth to redeem man, but my primary purpose was that the Divine Will would triumph over the human will by according these two wills together and making them one, taking the human will into that Will from which it had gone out. This was the main offense that my Celestial Father received from man, and I was to compensate Him for it, otherwise I would not have given Him full satisfaction. But in order to obtain the first purpose, first I had to issue the second – that is, to save him, to extend my hand to him, since he had fallen; to wash him of the mud in which he was lying. How could I say: ‘Come to live in my Will’, if he was horrid to look at, and was under the slavery of the infernal enemy?
Therefore, after having obtained the second purpose, I want to secure the first one – that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, and that man, who had gone out of my Will, enter into Mine once again. And in order to obtain this, I give to this first creature all my merits, all my works and steps, my palpitating Heart, my wounds, my Blood – the whole of my Humanity, to dispose her, to prepare her, to let her enter into my Will. In fact, first she must take the complete fruit of my Redemption, and then, as though in triumph, enter the possession of the immense sea of my Supreme Will. I do not want her to enter as a stranger, but as a daughter; not as poor, but as rich; not as ugly, but as beautiful, as if she were another Me. Therefore, I want to centralize the whole of my life in you.” And while He was saying this, it was as if many seas were coming out of Him, which poured upon me, and I remained inside of them, sunken; and at the same time, a Sun, beating down with Its light, receiving the complete fruit of Redemption in order to be able to give the complete fruit of Its Will to the creature. It was the Sun of the Eternal Volition, which celebrated the entrance of the human will into Its own. And Jesus: “This Divine Will of Mine grew within my Humanity like a flower, which I transplanted from Heaven into the true Eden of my terrestrial Humanity. It germinated in my Blood, it bloomed from my wounds, to make of it the greatest gift to the creature. Don’t you want to receive it?”
And I: ‘Yes.’ And He: “I want to transplant it into you – love it, and know how to keep it.”

My soul, in God’s peace, was filled with thoughts about the good God. I did not even remember my blindness of this morning, and had completely forgotten it. (Elizabeth) (1977)


Today’s Readings: Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. (Acts 9)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we go through life with scales on our eyes blind to Your goodness- each going our own way until we sink into darkness. Yet You never give up on us! If we need to be knocked down and blinded by life to finally see You it will be allowed- that is how much You love us! Let us forget our former blindness and let the scales fall off of our eyes and begin again in You!

Meeting Us On The Way

Do not be surprised by what I am going to say or the way I will express it. Just so you understand the meaning of My words, I must use expressions that are familiar to you: Both in quantity and in quality, you have responded to the Divine Demands.” (Jesus) (October 23-24 1963)

Today’s Readings:

Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said,
“Do you understand what you are reading?” 
He replied,
“How can I, unless someone instructs me?” (Acts 8)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You open up the Scriptures to us through the Daily Readings and the teaching authority of Your Church as well as through The Holy Spirit who whispers into our hearts as we meditate on Your Word. Jesus, open our eyes and meet us where we are so that we can respond to Your Grace just like the Ethiopian official- let us skip along the road with joy today as You touch us in Word and Sacrament!

Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar In The Light Of Sacred Scripture

The war which the Divine Will will wage on the creatures.

 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.  And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;  and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;  for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. (Luke 15: 20-23)

Volume 12-April 26, 1921

I continue in my painful state. My sweet Jesus came for just a little, and drawing me strongly to Himself, told me: “My daughter, I repeat it to you – do not look at the earth; let us allow them to do what they want. They want to make war – let them do it; when they get tired, I too will make my war. Their tiredness in evil, their disenchantments, the disillusions, the losses
suffered, will dispose them to receive my war. My war will be war of love. My Will will descend from Heaven into their midst; all your acts, and those of others done in my Volition, will wage war on the creatures – but not a war of blood; they will wage war with the weapons of love, giving them gifts, graces, peace. They will give such surprising things as to astonish ungrateful man. This Will of Mine, militia of Heaven, will confound man with divine weapons; It will overwhelm him, It will give him the light in order to see – not evil, but the gifts and the riches with which I want to enrich him. The acts done in my Will, carrying the creative power within themselves, will be the new salvation of man; and descending from Heaven, they will bring all goods upon earth – they will bring the New Era, and the triumph over the human iniquity. Therefore, multiply your acts in my Will to form the weapons, the gifts, the graces, so as to be able to descend into the midst of creatures and wage on them the war of love.”
Then, with a more afflicted tone, He added: “My daughter, it will happen with Me as to a poor father, whose bad children not only offend him, but would want to kill him; and if they don’t do it, it is because they are unable to. Now, since these children want to kill their father, it is no wonder that they kill one another, that one is against the other, that they impoverish themselves, and reach the point of being all in the act of perishing. And, what is worse, they don’t even remember that they have their father.
Now, what does this father do? Exiled by his own children, while these fight, wound one another, and are about to perish from starvation, the father is toiling in order to acquire new riches, gifts and remedies for his children. And when he sees them almost lost, he goes into their midst to make them richer; he offers the remedies for their wounds, and brings peace and happiness to all. Now, conquered by so much love, these children will bind themselves to their father with lasting peace, and will love him. So it will happen with Me. Therefore, in my Will do I want you, as faithful daughter of my Volition; and together with Me, at the work of the acquisition of new riches to give to the creatures. Be faithful to Me, and occupy yourself with nothing else.”

Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar In The Light of Scripture — April 24, 2023

Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar In The Light of Scripture

How the living in the Divine Will is a gift. Example of the poor man, and example of the king. How the gift is an excess of the love and magnanimity of God, who does not pay attention to, nor does He want to do the accounts of the great value He gives.

Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17)

Volume 30-April 25, 1932

I was feeling all immersed in the Divine Volition. A crowd of thoughts absorbed my mind, but always on the same Fiat, because in It one can think of nothing else; Its sweet enchantment, Its light that invests everything, Its many truths which, like formidable army, line up all around,
move away everything that does not belong to It. The happy creature who is in the Divine Will finds herself as though in a celestial atmosphere, all happy, in the fullness of the peace of the Saints; and if she wants anything, it is only that everyone may know a Will so lovable, so holy – she would want everyone to come to enjoy her happiness. But I was thinking to myself: ‘But, how can it be that the creatures may come to live in the Divine Will, so as to form Its Holy Kingdom?’ And my beloved Jesus, surprising me, told me: “My daughter, how little you are! It shows how your littleness is incapable of rising in the power, immensity, goodness and magnanimity of your Creator; and from your littleness you measure Our greatness and Our liberality. Poor little one – you get lost within Our interminable powers, and are incapable of attributing the right weight to Our divine and infinite ways. It is true that, humanly speaking, for the creature, besieged by evils as she is, to live in my Will, to form Its Kingdom in their midst, is like wanting to touch Heaven with her finger – which is impossible; but what is impossible for men is possible for God. You must know that the living in Our Will is a gift which Our magnanimity wants to give to creatures; and with this gift the creature will feel transformed – from poor, rich, from weak, strong, from ignorant, learned, from slave to vile passions, sweet and voluntary prisoner of a Will all holy, which will not hold him prisoner, but king of himself, of the divine dominions and of all created things.
It will happen as to a poor man who is clothed in miserable rags, lives in a hovel, without doors and therefore exposed to thieves and enemies; he has not enough bread to satiate his hunger, and he is forced to beg for it. If a king gave him a million as gift, the poor man would change his lot, and would no longer make the impression of a poor beggar, but of a lord who possesses palaces, villas, and dresses with decency, has abundant foods, and puts himself in the condition of being able to help others. Who changed the lot of this poor man? The million he has received as gift. Now, if some wretched money has the virtue of changing the lot of a poor unhappy one, much more will the great gift of Our Will, given as gift, change the unhappy lot of the human generations, except for those who, willfully, want to remain in their unhappiness. More so, since this gift was given to man in the beginning of his creation, and, ungrateful, he rejected it from Us by doing his will, withdrawing from Our own. Now, those who dispose themselves to do Our Will prepare the place, the decency, the nobility in which to be able to put this gift, so great and infinite. Our knowledges on the Fiat will help and prepare them, in a surprising way, to receive this gift, and what they have not obtained up to this day they will be able to obtain tomorrow. Therefore I am acting as a king would, who would want to elevate a family to a bond of relationship with his own royal family. In order to do this, first he takes a member of it, keeps her in his royal palace, raises her, dines with her, accustoms her to his noble manners, entrusts to her his secrets, and in order to make her worthy of himself, he makes her live of his will; and to be more sure and not to let her descend to the lowness of her family, he gives her his will as gift, that she may hold it in her power.

Casting Our Cares On Him

I, your Master, will care for you. I will free you from every worry. I only want to be everything to you so that nothing ties you to the earth. You can see by My solving your problem, your heavenly Father knows what you need.” (Jesus) (April 20, 1964)

Today’s Readings: So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time.
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5)

Prayer Meditation- O Jesus, You free us from all of our fears and worries if only we cast our cares on You! O Lord let us with humility and joy make You our everything- let nothing keep us from You because You are bigger than all of our fears! Jesus we trust in You!

Journey Into The Divine Will – Divine Will Calendar In Light Of Sacred Scripture — April 23, 2023

Journey Into The Divine Will – Divine Will Calendar In Light Of Sacred Scripture

How God, in operating, requires the acts of the creatures as the little ground on which to place His works. Who forms the breath, the heartbeat, of Creation. The works of God, bearers of life

Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” (Luke 6:38)

Volume 29-April 24, 1931

I was continuing my acts in the Divine Fiat – oh! how I would love that nothing would escape me of what It has done, both in Creation and in Redemption, to be able to compete with my little incessant ‘I love You, I adore You, I thank You, I bless You, and I pray You that the Kingdom of the Divine Will come upon earth’. But while I was thinking of this, my lovable Jesus told me: “My daughter, even though Our divine operating superabounds – but so much, that the creature cannot arrive at taking all the superabundance of the goods that We put in Our creative works – yet, in order to operate We always require the little operating of the creature; and according to ‘the more or the less’ of her operating, so We dispose ‘the more or the less’ of the goods that We want to give in the work We want to do for the good of creatures. In fact, their operating serves Us as little ground or space on which to place Our goods. If a ground or space is small, We can place little; if it is large, We can place more; and if We want to place more, she will be incapable of taking and of comprehending what We have given her. See, then, how necessary is the little operating of the creature so that Our works may have life in the midst of the human generations; more so since, as the creature begins her little acts, her prayers, her sacrifices in order to obtain the good that We want to give her, she places herself in communication with her Creator, she opens a sort of correspondence, and all her acts are nothing other than little letters that she sends to Him, in which she now prays, now cries, and now offers Him her own life, to move Him to give the good that We want to give her. This disposes the creature to receive it, and God to give it. If it were not so, the way would be missing, and all communications would be closed; the knowledge of the One who wants to give the gift would be missing, and it would be like giving and exposing Our gifts to hostile people, who are neither loved by Us, nor lovers of Us – which cannot be; while, when We want to do a work, We always elect someone who loves Us and whom We love, because love is the seed, the substance, the life of Our works; and when love is missing, the respiration, the heartbeat of a work are missing, and the gift received is not appreciated, and by not appreciating it, there is the danger for it to die at birth. Here, then, the necessity of your acts and of the sacrifice even of your life in order to make my Divine Will known and to make It reign. There is no greater work than this, and this is why I want your repeated acts, your incessant prayers and your prolonged sacrifice of a life buried alive; this is nothing other than the spacious ground on which to place such a great good. Each act of yours is a little letter that you send to Us; and We, in reading it, say: ‘Ah! yes, there is someone who wants Our Will upon earth, and who wants to give her own life in order to make It reign!’ With this, We dispose things, the graces, the events, in order to fill your little ground, and We wait for you to expand it more in order to place the great gift of the Kingdom of Our Will.

Working With Jesus

The time that you devote to Me is never lost. It is saved for an eternity of infinite value. You will easily render an accounting for time dedicated to God. Why not do everything for Me? This is so easy. (Jesus) (October 9, 1964)

Today’s Readings:

So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.” (John 6)


Prayer Meditation- O Lord we spin our wheels trying to work for You in our own power but Your yoke is easy and Your burden light. What You are really looking for is our hearts- what is our intention in each act- are our minds on You and You alone or our own self -interest even in the holy things?  Lord help us to spend time with You each day and offer everything to You today- the good, the bad, and the ugly knowing that You are the One who is doing the work though us and You are faithful to complete it- we are nothing and You are all!

Journey Into The Divine Will- Divine Will Calendar In The Light Of Sacred Scripture — April 22, 2023

Journey Into The Divine Will- Divine Will Calendar In The Light Of Sacred Scripture

The love of God will triumph over all the evils of creatures. God will look at the acts of the creatures through the acts of the soul done in the Divine Will.

 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Volume 12-April 23, 1921

I am going through most bitter days; my always lovable Jesus has almost eclipsed Himself. What pain! What torment! Only, I feel my mind beyond the spheres, in His Will, wanting to take this Holy Volition and bring It below the spheres, into the midst of men, and give It to each one of them as their own life. My poor mind struggles between the Divine Will and the human will of all, in order to make them one.
Now, as I was at the summit of my bitterness, my sweet Jesus just barely moved in my interior, and putting out His hands, He took my hands in His, and told me in my interior: “My daughter, courage, I will come, I will come. You – occupy yourself with nothing else but my Volition. Let us leave the earth aside; they will get tired in evil. Everywhere they will keep sowing terrors and frights and slaughters; but the end will come – my love will triumph over all their evils. Therefore, you – extend your will within Mine, and with your acts you will come to extend it like a second heaven over the heads of all. And I will look at the acts of the creatures through your acts – divine, because they all start from my Will; and you will force my Eternal Volition to descend below the spheres, to triumph over the evil of the human will. Therefore, if you want my Will to descend, and my love to triumph, you must ascend beyond the spheres, dwell up there, extend your acts in my Will. And then we will descend together, we will assail the creatures with my Volition, with my love; we will confound them in such a way that they will not be able to resist us. Therefore, for now let us allow them to do what they want. Live in my Will and have patience.”
