But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Volume 9-September 22, 1910
This morning, continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, each virtue is a heaven that the soul acquires. Therefore, as many virtues as she acquires, so many heavens does she keep forming, and these heavens defeat all human inclinations, destroy that which is earthly, and make the soul wander through the purest auras, through the holiest delights, through the celestial fragrances of the highest good, anticipating for her part of the eternal joys.” And He disappeared.
Round Of The Soul: O Lord we bless You, adore, You and thank You Lord for the fruits of the Spirit, the virtues we acquire as You form Heaven in us and defeat all of our human and earthly inclinations for Your celestial and eternal joys! Come Holy Spirit, come by the means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well beloved Spouse and our Celestial Mama!

Set Free
“Your living faith in Me keeps your soul in a continual freshness and makes you ready to receive abundant graces. Hence, My little one, do not serve anyone but Me.” (Jesus) (August 1, 1963)
Today’s Readings: Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.(Luke 8)
Prayer Meditation- Lord today we see You journeying with Your chosen Apostles and also some women who were set free. Like us Lord, these women were stuck in sin and in their brokenness but then You broke into their mess; and we are all a mess, and set them free! Lord we can never repay You for Your goodness and ,mercy, all that we can do is walk alongside You with a living faith! Lord we may have served many idols before- money, prestige, addictions, acting out of need for approval and human respect but now we have found everything in You and we will serve no one else! May our feet journey together!
Jesus will show the generations how Luisa’s fidelity was tested by His love, by His cross and by His Will.
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27)
Volume 16-September 21, 1923 Now, while I was in this state, so painful, my always lovable Jesus moved in my interior, and putting out one arm, He clasped me to give me life again, and told me: “My daughter, my Will wanted to make justice of you. This was necessary in order to test your fidelity, since all my attributes concur in all my works. And when the generations will see all that I have poured into you and, amazed, will say: ‘How could she not do all this, after You gave her so much?’, my justice will show the tests it made you undergo, and will say to them: ‘I made her go through the fire of my justice and I found her faithful, and this is why my love continued its course.’ Even more, you must know that the first to make justice of you was my love. How many tests did it not make you undergo in order to be sure about your love? The second was the cross, which made severe justice of you, to the point that my Will, drawn by my love and by my cross, wanted to descend into you and to make you live in It. But my Will also did not want to be outdone by my love and by the cross, and to be sure, jealous, It withdrew, making justice of you, to see whether you would continue your flights in my Will without Me.”
On hearing this, I said: ‘Ah! how could I continue them without You? I lacked the light, and if I would start, I would not finish, because the One who, making everything present to me, would make me do it for all, making me bind all the relations between the Creator and all Creation, was not with me. My mind would swim in the empty space, without seeing anyone. How could I do them?’ And Jesus: “Your starting was doing, and your sorrow for being unable to finish was completing. Therefore, it takes courage and fidelity. With a little bit of testing, one is always more certain and sure. And besides, if not even my Queen Mother was spared, would you want to be exempted?”
Round of the Soul– O Lord we bless You, we praise You and we adore You because to follow You means to bear our crosses. It takes courage and fidelity to pass the tests which even Luisa and Our Queen Mother had to undergo yet we place our I love You on all them because Your Justice is always Your Mercy even when we feel and know that we are helpless to complete anything without You! Fiat Lord to all the little tests may all be for Your Glory!

Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle
You Came For Me!
“You know how pleased I am when you prostrate before Me and say that you are sorry for your sins as no sinner has ever been sorry and that you want to love Me more than all converted sinners.” (Jesus) (April 8, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” (Matthew 9)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You remind us so vividly that You came not for the righteous but for sinners- to set us free and heal us and free us so that we can live the abundant life You have meant for us to live. (John 10). This is really good news because that means You came for me and for all of us because we are all sinners and all broken and only You can fix us. Lord help us to know that Your Gaze is always upon us- You see us just as we are and You look at us with such love and ask us to follow You. Lord help us not to miss Your invitation today and every day!
Everything that happens around and inside the soul is nothing other than the continuous crafting of Jesus so that His Will may be fulfilled and carried out in her.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. (Romans 8:28-30)
Volume 11- September 20, 1913 And Jesus, immediately: “My daughter, everything that happens around and inside the soul – bitternesses, pleasures, contrasts, deaths, privations, contentments, and other things – is nothing other than my continuous crafting so that my Will may be fulfilled and carried out in her. When I obtain this, all is done, and therefore everything gives the soul peace. It seems that even suffering wants to stay away from her, in seeing that the Divine Volition is greater than it is, and that It holds in her the place of everything, surpassing everything. It seems that all pay reverence to her; and I Myself, when the soul reaches this point – of using everything in order to let Me accomplish the crafting of my Will – once this is done, I prepare her for Heaven
Round of The Soul- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because in all circumstances You work all things together for good for the crafting of our souls and to prepare us for Heaven! Fiat Jesus we love You in all that You dispose for us!

Of Flutes and Dirges
Mary: “The greater the miracles, my little one, the fewer those who believed in me. I asked for the First Saturdays and they never heeded my request. I am your gentle and understanding Mother. United with you, I will save you. (Mary) (April 13, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another,
‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’ (Luke 7)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we love You we bless You and we adore You because You have shown us so many miracles during Your Public Life and through Your Church. The Sacraments themselves are Your Miracles as are our very lives! And yet we are so indifferent, we do so little in response or even worse, we respond with a complaining and a critical spirit. Like the generation who crossed the Red Sea and then complained for forty years in the desert. O Lord we are so blind and ignorant stuck in our own little minds. Lord help us to see the evidence of Your love all around! Lord may we unite with Your Holy Mother as She shows us how to respond with love to the Love that never lets us go!

God Has Visited His People
“It is to the warm solidarity of the family sanctuary that souls come back to, after having strayed far. It is there that they come to find themselves and they once more return to God.. Do not think that once a child has become an adult, he no longer needs his parents. (Jesus) (January 17, 1964)
Today’s Readings: A large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” (Luke 7)
Prayer Meditation- Lord today in this beautiful Gospel, and in Your words to Elizabeth Kindelmann and to us, You remind us mothers that we have a huge responsibility to bring our families to You. We can think so many of our circumstances are too far gone- that our prayers are bouncing off the chapel walls and our little prayer corners at home where we indeed weep. Yet Lord, nothing is impossible for You and Your plan for us and our children is so much bigger than we can ask of think. You have a plan for them which is a future full of hope (Jeremiah 29:11) O Lord, visit Your people, visit our families and heal them and call our children back to Your Loving Care! Through the intercession of Saint Monica and Our Blessed Mother we bring You our families!

Say The Word
“But I am not worthy, Lord.” “Nevertheless, I will work a miracle. I will so bless the problem which seems impossible that all will be straightened out.” (Elizabeth/Jesus) (August 3, 1962)
Today’s Readings: “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.(Luke 7)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, we are all unworthy, all have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Sometimes this can discourage us- we say Lord don’t trouble yourself with us. Yet Lord despite our unworthiness and brokenness, You do indeed want to enter our roofs- our hearts and our souls and You so want to bless us and work miracles in our lives. Lord give us the faith of the centurion as we receive You at Holy Mass- Jesus, we trust in You!

Has Our Love Grown Cold?
“If your love decreases, turn to our heavenly Mother and she will fill your heart with abundant love for Me. Draw close to My Mother, she will help you.” (Jesus) (March 4-March 7, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. The vengeful will suffer the LORD’s vengeance, for he remembers their sins in detail. (Sirach 27)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, we so often struggle with anger and unforgiveness. We hold on tight to our resentments, how easily we can become offended in these days and times that we live in. We cannot see You in other people- we only see ourselves. Yet Lord if we live by the sword, we will die by the sword (Matthew 26:52). Forgiveness is not easy but to imitate You, it must be without limit- 7 x 70 times! (Matthew 18). We must forgive each other from our hearts because You have already paid a debt for us that we cannot possibly pay! So Lord let us not be stingy with our love and mercy for another- if our love grows cold let us draw close to Our Heavenly Mother who will always intercede for us so that the wine of grace will keep flowing in our hearts (John 2).

Mercifully Treated
Jesus: “A long time ago, you received from My merciful Heart the full possession of the love which forgives. I accept this profound repentance with which you prostrated yourself before Me for the sake of others, and I grant them My pardon.” (August 18, 1965)
Today’s Readings: Beloved: This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life. To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1)
Prayer Meditation- Lord ,we thank You and praise You and adore You because we have been mercifully treated and Your patience with us is beyond anything we can ever think of or imagine. Your merciful love is infinite no matter who we are and what we have done. You will accept from us our repentance with a merciful heart that forgives and that You extend to others as we intercede for them. Lord help to not just hear Your Words but also to act on them (Luke 6) and always remember the ABC’s of mercy- ask for mercy, be merciful, and completely trust in Your Mercy (Divine Mercy In My Soul) not only for ourselves but for the whole world!
