FUSING ONESELF IN THE DIVINE WILL

Dear Divine Will Family,

Wow, did I learn a lot from some of the Divine Will family about Baptism…and from the Volumes, and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. There is always hope with the Creator we have….always loving and merciful, never losing any soul if at all possible not to! With God all things are possible!

One reader suggested that grandparents, who have grandchildren whose parents are away from the Church can suggest to the parents that they get the children Baptized and help raising them in the Faith by teaching them and taking them to Mass! And the grandparents only need one parents permission to Baptize all the children! What loving parent would not want their children raised to believe in a most loving and merciful God and be saved?

Here are a few other things I found while researching the subject of Baptism:

Catholic Answers:
The doctrine of original sin is that “in” Adam all have sinned. This parallels the doctrine of justification that “in” Christ all are righteous. Many Catholics do not fully understand or appreciate the importance of this parallel and how it weaves through much of Catholic teaching.
_______________________________________
Pope Benedict XVI: April 2007
The netherworld of limbo, long speculated in Roman Catholic teaching as the destination of babies who die unbaptized, has been replaced with the “prayerful hope” that they reach heaven. Pope Benedict XVI signed a theological report, years in the making, that effectively demoted limbo, a place neither in heaven nor in hell, where unbaptized babies would not be in communion with God but would nonetheless enjoy eternal happiness.
It stressed, however, that “these are reasons for prayerful hope, rather than grounds for sure knowledge.”
Ladaria said no one could know for certain what becomes of unbaptized babies since Scripture is largely silent on the matter.
_____________________________________
St Thomas Aquinas described the “limbo of children” as an “eternal state of natural joy” in which unbaptized children were unaware of the greater joy of Heaven.
____________________________________
Catholic Exchange:
This was no dismissal or demotion of limbo: it had always been a valid opinion and that’s exactly where the commission left it. And today, despite the compelling case for the alternative scenario made by the commission, limbo itself remains an opinion worth holding and defending.
_______________________________
Then I remembered what Jesus told Luisa that there is not a soul He created that when they take their last breath that He appears to them and asked them if they will accept this last breath as His Will and those who say yes are saved, and those who say no are not.
He did not say He excluded babies….in fact, He said EVERY soul He creates!
So, I choose to leave everything about this subject in the hands of God since who can know the mind of God??? Certainly not me!!
_____________________________________________________________________

I know the subject today is fusing, but I wanted to share this with you because I believe it is most important that we understand what we can do and now do.

BAPTISM!

Dear Divine Will Family,

At our last cenacle, we got to talking about someone dying without the benefit of Baptism. Could they go to Heaven? The answer is no! And we cannot Baptize any child in the care of parents who oppose the child being Baptized. It is so heartbreaking, but it has to be left up to the parents alone. It is always good to try to show them the truth in a loving and kind way and praying to Our Lady to open their eyes to the danger of not baptizing their child is about all we can do.

Many relatives have even baptized the baby while bathing them or playing in the pool, or however they can get away with it…but it isn’t a valid baptism. A valid Baptism has to have the permission of at least one of the parents when the soul is under the age of consent, and it must to be recorded in the Church in which the baby and/or person is baptized. Without recording it, how can anyone really know the soul was baptized? And the only other way a lay person can baptize a soul is if that soul is in danger of dying or is dying.
__________________________
Canon Law 849 states:
Anybody can validly Baptize and the reasons for this are theological: the Church teaches that Baptism is necessary for salvation and is the gateway to the other sacraments. In an urgent life and death situation, a Catholic can’t be expected to search out a Catholic Cleric so as to Baptize someone in full accord with the Church’s normal ritual – there simply isn’t time for that! All that’s required in an emergency is that the Baptizer (a) has the intentions to do what the Church requires, (b) uses the correct formula of words and (c) perform the correct action of pouring water, if possible, over the person.
__________________________
But the more we got into the discussion, and realizing that if someone is dying, we can Baptize them, if they have not been Baptized, or if they are unconscious and can’t tell us if they have been baptized. We got so excited. Then we found a prayer from Catholics for Life that is said daily for unbaptized aborted babies, and it brought out a lot of what we were taught in the St. Joseph Catechism! Then realizing the enormous affect we could have in and with the Holy Will of God….we all became even more excited!

Here is a sample prayer which would be easily and quickly prayed everyday and think of the enormous affect it would have on the souls of good will dying that day!!

“O Sweet Lord, in and with your Holy Will,
we make the intention of Baptizing all
unbaptized souls of good will, from the
unborn, to the elderly who will die today,
and all unbaptized souls, past, present
and future! Please, dear Jesus, may all be
saved, and none be lost! Amen Fiat”

(God, seeing all our acts from the beginning of time can take this prayer and apply it to an unbaptized soul in the 1st century, or apply it to a soul in the year 2052, so all prayers in the Divine Will are Eternally valuable whenever they are prayed!)

Or you can use the prayer from the Catholic for Life, which is:

“Heavenly Father, Your Love is eternal.
In your ocean of love, you saved the world
through your only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
Now look at your only Son on the Cross who
is constantly bleeding for love of His people,
and for the forgiveness of Your world.
Purify and baptize aborted children with the
Precious Blood and Water from the sacred
Side of Your Son, who hung dead on the
Cross for their salvation, in the Name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
May they through the Holy Death of Jesus Christ
gain everlasting life, through His Wounds be healed,
and through his Precious Blood be freed.
There to rejoice with the Saints in Heaven. Amen Fiat!”

Or you can make a prayer of your own. God made us all unique, so many of our prayers will be unique as well, and I believe that God loves our uniqueness!!

We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! May God help us Baptize all the souls of good will, especially those in our own family!

Volume 18
5th November, 1925

When I see a newborn baptized, I weep for sorrow. Indeed, when I use Baptism to restore lost innocence, I find My child again; I give him back the rights lost at Creation; the smile of love and of peace that puts the enemy to flight so that he no longer has any rights over him. I entrust him to the Angels, and all of Heaven rejoices. Then, if I see that the baptized one will be My enemy, My new Adam, perhaps even a lost soul, My smile is quickly changed into sorrow, the feast into mourning. O how My Love groans in each Baptism! Especially if, added to this, the minister who performs the Baptism fails to do it with the respect, dignity and decorum that is proper to a Sacrament that contains the new regeneration. O many times he is more attentive to a trifle, to some passing scene, than to administering a Sacrament. That is why My Love feels pierced through by the one baptizing and by the one baptized, and It groans with unheard of moans.
So, do you not want to give Me a return of love in each Baptism, a loving moan, to keep My sorrowful moans company?

Volume 11
March 13, 1912

The effects of a victim soul’s Baptism by fire are superior to those of Baptism by water.

Jesus continues to speak about the victim state, telling me:

“My daughter, the Baptism one receives at birth is by water. It has the power to purify the soul, but not to take away her passions and inclinations. On the other hand, the victim soul’s Baptism by fire not only has the power to purify, but also to burn away any passions or evil tendencies. I Myself baptize the soul, bit by bit. My thought baptizes the thought of the victim soul; My heartbeat baptizes her heartbeat; My desire her desire, and so on. This Baptism takes place between Me and the soul, according to whether she gives herself to Me without ever taking back what she gave to Me. My daughter, this is why you don’t feel evil tendencies and the like. It comes from your state of victim, and I tell you this for your consolation. So, tell Father G. to be very attentive, for this is the mission of missions—the apostolate of apostolates. I want him always with Me, and completely absorbed within Me.”

THIS SNIPPET IS IN HONOR OF THOMAS M FAHY’S 82ND EARTHLY BIRTHDAY

God is Everywhere, but What is He Doing Wherever He is?
…for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’ (Acts: 17, 18)

God is in all the galaxies spread throughout the vastness of the space that He created to place them in. God is in every star, nebula, quasar, planet, moon, comet, asteroid, the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter. What is He doing in them? God is in every place: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Earth, in every mountain, valley, plain, river and sea. He is in every grain of sand, in every tree, flower and shrub, in every mammal, bird, fish, amphibian, reptile, insect, and crustacean—and all else, whatever it may be and wherever it may be. But what is He doing in all these things and places?

Only God could tell us all that He is doing in all the things and places He brought into existence but let us just say a few things that He is doing. First, He is continuing to be the Eternal God that He is and always in possession of his Kingdom—the Kingdom of the Divine Will, which is shared equally and forever among the Three Divine Persons in their One Only Supreme Being; and this would be true whether anything other than God existed or not. But concerning what He is doing in all these created things, we know that He created them, that He conserves them in existence with all the natural qualities that He gave them and that He continuously supplies prime motion to all their movements, even down to the movements of the tiniest parts of every atom. And, of course, God is distinct from all that He created, and nothing created is part of God or ever was part of God. Continue reading “”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR
THOMAS M. FAHY
July 22, 2021
Feast of St. Mary Magdalene

Be faithful to Me, and My Will shall be your life, the hand that leads you,
the feet that walk, and the mouth that speaks—in short, in you It will make up for everything.
~~~~~~~~~
One great way to describe Thomas Fahy is faithfulness. He was extremely faithful to his God, his Religion, the Divine Will, his wife, Kathy, to his friends, and to all who loved the Divine Will, and even to strangers.
He also developed the ‘constant thought of God,’ Who was the most important Person in his life, other than his wife, Kathy!
I just wanted to put this out to wish Tom a very happy 82nd earthly birthday! So, this Snippet will be about faithfulness!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Volume 13
September 2, 1921
“You ought to know that I have acted with you as a king who begins to love a friend who is very different from him in status; but his love is so great, that He has decided to make his friend like himself. Now, this king cannot do everything with one stroke and make his friend like himself—rather he does it little by little. First, he prepares a royal palace for him, similar to his own; then he sends decorations with which to adorn the royal palace. He forms a little army for him; then he gives him half of his Kingdom, so that he can say: “What you possess, I possess. I am king—and so are you.” But each time the king gives him his gifts, He looks at his faithfulness; and giving the gift provides him an occasion for new happiness, greater glory and honor for himself, and a new celebration. If the king had wanted to give to his friend, all at once, all that he has given him little by little, he would have embarrassed his friend, because he had not been taught how to rule. But, little by little, through his faithfulness, he has come to be instructed, so that everything becomes easy for him.”

ADAM!
Have we become Holy Adam or Guilty Adam?

Dear Divine Will Family,

Only in and through the Divine Will can we become the Holy Adam! Not through any other means on earth or in Heaven, but ONLY through the Gift of Living in the Divine Will as taught by the Book of Heaven written by order of the Church under the punishment of mortal sin by Luisa Piccarreta! How can anything on earth be more important??

You do realize that your life on earth is but a blink of an eye compared to Eternity, right? How could anything in that blink of an eye keep us from striving our very hardest to live as holily as possible in the Divine Will? How could anyone on earth give you more or better instructions on how to be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect than the instructions that Jesus gave to Luisa Piccarreta?? What else can give you more or better knowledge than the Book of Heaven on how to live in the Divine Will? If there is anyone out there claiming to be able to tell you a better way, or an easier way to live in the Divine Will, then they are not of God!

God does not need to be redundant! Why would He spend 40 years instructing Luisa on how to live in His Holy Will and stress the importance of her writing everything He said and taught her, and then come and give “better” instructions to some other person on earth? Does that sound like the work of God??

My goodness, when they said that there will be false prophets in the world during the end times, they were not kidding. Be strong and read, read, read the Book of Heaven so that you, too, will realize that only through the Book of Heaven are you going to learn the true way of living in the Divine Will….not by any other means!!!

Be very careful….it is turning into a very, very dangerous world out there for your soul!

We love you all very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! Please keep us in yours. May God continue to show us the light of truth through the magnificent Book of Heaven!
Ann Ellison

“The Creation was made for love of man; even more, Our love was so great that, had it been necessary, We would have created as many heavens, as many suns, stars, seas, earths, plants and all the rest, for as many creatures as were to come to the light of this world, so that each one of them might have a Creation for herself, a universe of her own. And, in fact, when everything was created, Adam was the only spectator of all Creation – he could enjoy all the good he wanted. And if We did not do so, it was because man could enjoy everything anyway, as if it were his own, even if others also might enjoy it. In fact, who cannot say, ‘the sun is mine’, and enjoy the light of the sun as much as he wants? Or, ‘the water is mine’, and quench his thirst and make use of it there where he needs it? Or, ‘the sea, the earth, the fire, the air, are my things’, and so with many other things created by Me? And if it seems that man lacks something, that life suffers hardships, it is because of sin which, barring the way of My benefits, prevents the things created by Me from being abundant for the ungrateful creature.”

MY HIDING PLACE!
“You are my hiding place, O Lord!”

Dear Divine Will Family,

I am quoting above the song by John Michael Talbot, which was Fr. John Brown’s favorite song. We listened to it so many times when I lived in Italy! Fr. John was such a good friend and we went many places together, listening to that song on the road.

Researching this phrase in the Volumes, I find that Jesus uses us as His hiding place! I was surprised because from the song above, which I grew to know so well, I thought for sure He would be our hiding place, for we need one so much more than Jesus, I thought! But reading the writings below, I can see how He would want His Divine Will children to be His hiding place. Looking at the world today, it is very understandable why He uses us to hide from the enormous evil in the world! Praise God I did find where the Divine Will is the hiding place of love and all that we do in His Holy Will! Since we are all that we do, then it is our hiding place as well.

It is a duty of the children of the Divine Will to make reparation for all sins! Redoing, making holy acts Divine, and offering to God all the acts suspended, that only Jesus could do, for His glory and for His Kingdom to come!

The prayer that Luisa offers Jesus in the extract from the Hours of the Passion book is especially beautiful and efficacious.

I hope that from these readings we look more inside our souls for Jesus hiding there and that we love, adore and care for Him with all our love and acts! And that we carry Him within us with a concern for His sufferings much more than our own!

We love all of you so very much and we keep each of you in our daily prayers. Please keep us in yours! May the Jesus who hides within your most precious soul fill you with all the graces necessary to never step out of His Holy Will!
