Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar Day By Day

Effects of disturbance. Continuous encounter of Jesus with the soul.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (Galatians 5:22)

Volume 6, March 28, 1905

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and since I had said to a soul who was disturbed: ‘Think of not wanting to be disturbed, not only for your own good, but more so out of love for Our Lord, because a soul who is disturbed is not only disturbed herself, but makes Jesus Christ disturbed’, later I said to myself: ‘What nonsense I spoke – Jesus can never be disturbed.’ Then, on coming, He told me: “My daughter, instead of nonsense you spoke a truth. In fact, in each soul I form a divine life, and if the soul is disturbed, this divine life that I keep forming also remains disturbed. Not only this, but it never comes to being completed perfectly.” And He disappeared like a flash.
Then I continued my usual interior work on the Passion, and as I reached the point of the encounter of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross, He made Himself seen again and told me: “My daughter, the soul also I encounter continuously, and if in the encounter I make with the soul I find her in the act of exercising virtues, and united with Me, she repays Me for the sorrow I suffered when I encountered my Mother, so sorrowful because of Me.”

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, how often in our own human wills we allow disturbance to enter in which can never be from You! Help us to not allow ourselves to be troubled but to always trust in You!


Lifted Up — March 27, 2023

Lifted Up

Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures

Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Lifted Up

At that same instant, He lifted up my soul from the earth while

the sound of His words kept ringing in me. He added:

Jesus: “It is only the soul purified of its sins that I raise to Me in

this way.” (Elizabeth/Jesus) (January 13, 1966)

Today’s Readings: So, Jesus said to them,
“When you lift up the Son of Man,
then you will realize that I AM,
and that I do nothing on my own,
but I say only what the Father taught me.
The one who sent me is with me.
He has not left me alone,
because I always do what is pleasing to him.” (John 8)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, like the first reading today in Numbers, we feel that we are perishing from the snakes that bite us. Even if  we are not in physical danger, we all will perish in our sins without repentance. Lord, You are high and lifted up- the Son of Man high on the Cross that takes away the sins of the world. Help us Lord Jesus to keep our eyes above the storm around us and on You, clearly fixed on You, and lead us to everlasting life!

Journey Into The Divine Will-Divine Will Calendar Day By Day

By living in the Divine Will, the soul finds everything in a divine and infinite way.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. (John 15:4)

Volume 12-March 27, 1918

I was lamenting to Jesus for I could not even listen to Holy Mass; and Jesus told me: “My daughter, am I not the One who forms the Sacrifice? Now, since I am present in each Sacrifice, the soul who lives with Me and in my Will remains as though sacrificed together with Me – not in one Mass, but in all the Masses. And since she lives in my Will, she remains consecrated with Me in all the hosts.
Never go out of my Will, and I will let you reach wherever you want. Even more, between you and Me there will be such electricity of communication, that you will not do one act without Me, and I will not do one act without you. So, when you lack something, enter into my Will, and you will find, ready, whatever you want: as many Masses as you want, as many Communions, as much love as you want. Nothing is missing in my Will. Not only this – but you will find things in a divine and infinite way.”

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, there is nothing missing in Your Will- please abide in us! May we be united to You always in a divine and infinite way!


Sin No More —

Sin No More

Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Sin No More

Then, as I raise you, the sin falls away instantly and you become lighter

again. Gratitude is all I want in return. Tell Me just one word:

‘Thanks.’ (Jesus) (August 7, 1963)

Today’s Readings: Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you.
Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.” (John 8)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we, like the woman caught in serious sin and those who accused her, are all sinners. None of us could pass the test of being without sin. How easily we condemn others. Lord, You have raised all of us out of sin and death- do we reflect on this and do we thank You? Do we do our part and strive to stay not only out of serious sins but even venial sins, those little foxes that spoil the vine (Luke 13:32). Lord, we are all weak and full of faults but help us to sin no more and when we fall to turn to You in humble trust.

The Only Relief That Cheers Jesus Is Love

 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, 17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:14-19)

Volume 10-March 26, 2011

This morning, as I was outside of myself, I saw the Celestial Mother with the Baby in Her arms. The Divine Baby called me with His little hand, and I flew to put myself on my knees before the Queen Mother; and Jesus told me: “My daughter, today I want you to speak with our Mother.”
And I said: ‘My Celestial Mother, tell me, is there anything in me that displeases Jesus?’ And She: “Dearest daughter of mine, be tranquil, for now I don’t see anything that may displease my Son. If – may it never be – you will run into something that can displease Him, I will let you know immediately. Trust your Mother and do not fear.”
As the Celestial Queen assured me, I felt new life being infused in me, and I added: ‘My Most Sweet Mother, what sad times we are in. Tell me, is it really true that Jesus wants the reunions of priests?’ And She: “He surely does, because the waves are rising too high, and these reunions will be the anchors, the lamps, the helm, with which the Church will be saved from shipwreck caused by the storm. In fact, while it will appear that the storm has submerged everything, after the storm it will be seen that the anchors, the lamps, the helm – that is, the most stable things in order to continue the life of the Church – are still there. But – oh, how vile, cowardly and hard-hearted they are! Almost none of them moves, while these are times for works. The enemies are not resting, while they remain there in sluggishness – but, so much the worse for them.”
Then She added: “My daughter, try to make up for everything by means of Love. May you cherish one thing alone: to love; one thought alone, one word alone, one life alone: Love. If you want to content and please Jesus, love Him, and give Him always the occasion to speak of Love. This is the only relief that cheers Him: Love. Tell Him to speak to you of Love, and He will put Himself in feast.”
And I: ‘My tender Jesus, did You hear what our Mother is saying? That I should ask You for Love, and to speak about Love.’ And Jesus, celebrating, said such and so many
things about the virtue, the height, the nobility of Love, that it is not for the human language to be able to repeat it; therefore I stop here…

Prayer Meditation- O Lord we love You and adore You, may we always speak to You of love and and comprehend with all the saints the breadth, length, height and depth of Your Love which never lets us go and never changes!


The Resurrection And The Life- Do We Believe This? —

The Resurrection And The Life- Do We Believe This?

Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures

Fifth Sunday of Lent

The Resurrection and The Life- Do We Believe This?

Believe, My daughter! Let nothing lead you to abandon

your goal! Your faith and confidence in Me will save you. (Jesus) (February 17, 1964 )

Today’s Readings: Jesus told her,
“I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?” (John 11)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we feel so crushed on every side. But we hold this treasure* in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.8* We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair;e9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;10* f always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:7-10). Lord we know that You know every pain and every suffering- that You weep with us and mourn with us even as we know that You are the Resurrection and The Life and that even should we die, we will live with You forever. Lord, help our unbelief, our distrust and fear- do we believe in You! Yes!!

Journey Into The Divine Will- Divine Will Calendar Day By Day

The Doors of Heaven open, the Sun of the Eternal Word places Himself on the lookout. He
sends His Angel to tell the Virgin that the Hour of God has come.

 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace,[e] the Lord is with you!”[f]29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her,[g] “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. (Luke 1:26-31)

Day Nineteen-The Virgin Mary In The Kingdom Of The Divine Will

My prayers were incessant, and
while I was praying in my little room, an Angel came, sent from Heaven as messenger of the great King. He came before Me, and bowing, he hailed Me: “Hail, O Mary, our Queen; the Divine Fiat
has filled You with grace. He has already pronounced His Fiat – that He wants to descend; He is
already behind my shoulders, but He wants your Fiat to form the fulfillment of His Fiat.”
At such a great announcement, so much desired by Me – although I had never thought I would be
the chosen one – I was stupefied and hesitated one instant. But the Angel of the Lord told Me: “Do
not fear, our Queen, for You have found grace before God. You have conquered your Creator;
therefore, to complete the victory – pronounce your Fiat.”
I pronounced my Fiat, and – oh! marvel – the two Fiat fused together and the Divine Word descended
into Me. My Fiat, which was endowed with same value as the Divine Fiat, from the seed of my
humanity, formed the tiny little Humanity which was to enclose the Word; and the great prodigy of
the Incarnation was accomplished.

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, words fail at this solemn moment when Our Lady gave Her Fiat to the Incarnation! All we can offer You is all the Acts of the Divine Will found in the Mystery of the Annunciation along with all our acts of reciprocal love, which in the name of all creatures, embrace these acts!

Fiat! —

Fiat!

Solemnity of the Annunciation of The Lord

Fiat

There has never

been a time of grace like this since the Word became Flesh. Blinding

Satan will shake the world.” (Mary) (September 3, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we celebrate Our Blessed Mother’s Fiat and we are thankful and rejoice at Her docility to Your Holy Will. Lord we believe that nothing is impossible with You.  You became Man in the darkness of this world at the time of the Annunciation and Your Presence has never left us. Like Our Blessed Mother, we must accept Your Will and walk in faith, even when it all just does not make sense. Lord we believe You are up to something in these times, that Your Mercy and Grace have not left us.  In fact, this is a time of grace as never before. The world seems shaken but You hold us all in the palm of Your Hand. Let us give our Fiat to Your Holy Will today which is Love and Mercy itself!

Jesus is the contentment of contentments. The Celestial Mother was filled with Jesus through Her constant thinking of His Passion.

Thou dost keep him in perfect peace,
    whose mind is stayed on thee,
    because he trusts in thee. (Isaiah 26:3)

Volume 11, March 24, 1913

I was feeling a certain discontent because of the privations of my always lovable Jesus; and He, coming for just a little, told me: “My daughter, what are you doing? I am the contentment of contentments. Being in you, and feeling some discontents, I recognize that they come from you, and therefore I do not recognize Myself completely in you, because discontents are part of the human nature – not of the Divine; while it is my Will that what is human no longer exist in you – only my Divine Life. ”I add that I was thinking to myself about the sweet Mother, and Jesus told me: “My daughter, the thought of my Passion never escaped my dear Mother, and by dint of repeating it, she filled all of Herself with Me, completely. The same happens to the soul: by dint of repeating what I suffered, she arrives at filling herself with Me.”

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, so often we are full of discontented feelings which are not of You. Your Divine Life is nothing but peace and contentment even in suffering. Blessed Mother fill us with Jesus- Jesus we trust in You!

Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent

Close To The Brokenhearted


That is why I stay close to you now. I do not disturb your rest. I am here with you in silence. May our hearts beat to the same rhythm. (Jesus) (January 19, 1964)


Today’s Readings:

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;

and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

Many are the troubles of the just man,

but out of them all the LORD delivers him. (Psalm 34)


Prayer Meditation- O my Jesus, I know that You know every sorrow of our broken hearts- You stay close to us in silence. You have walked this suffering and you never leave us or forsake us. Lord You are as close as our next breath, even closer, please breathe in our breathing may Your Heart beat with ours as You accompany us and deliver us in whatever troubles we may be going through.
