HAPPY AND HOLY FEAST OF OUR WONDERFUL AND HOLY GUARDIAN ARCHANGELS!

GUARDIAN ANGELS AND COURAGE!

Dear Divine Will Family,

First and foremost, I want to thank with all my heart all the beautiful and wonderful souls who wrote to say they are praying for Paul, my son! I know there are others out there that are doing the same but did not write. I am eternally grateful to you all, and I would love to answer each one individually, but there were just too many! God’s goodness overwhelms me all the time. He never stops giving and He never stops loving! He is such a good and wonderful God, how can we not “take up the cup of salvation” in gratitude to Him for all that He does for all of us?! And I thank YOU for allowing Him to act in and through you to pray for Paul and to let me know! I have been weeping in gratitude and love you all so very much! God will bless you abundantly in return for your generosity!

This Snippet is not going to be as wonderful as the last one since I have the sad news to share with you that Fr. James Blount will not be attending our conference. He has been fighting pneumonia since he was in England. Please keep him in your prayers that he will have a full recovery. We are so sorry that he cannot attend our conference, but even more sorry that he is ill.

But God never wants us disappointed in the least, so he is sending two very special Priests to our conference.

First is Fr. Julio Rivera, has been a very dear friend of the Center’s and is a great lover of the Book of Heaven and of Luisa for years! Fr. Julio has a wonderful and very powerful gift of healing, and he loves to heal and bring people into full communion with God!

Second is Fr. Ignatuis Okoroji, S.D.V., of Nigeria and who founded the Communitas Mater Domini, Community of the Mother of the Lord. Fr. Ignatius has a very powerful healing gift as well and from what I have heard, but can’t verify, there was a prophecy that said that during the end times a community would be found which would be called, Community of the Mother of the Lord. He has a regular talk on Radio Maria and has a podcast. He is also very interested in the writings of Luisa. Praise God! I can’t find the email of the person who is bringing Father Ignatius. Please write to me if you receive this. Thank you!
I know God has some very special plans for the conference and I am so excited to find out what they are. Sending these two very special Priests to us in lieu of Fr. Blount is no accident. This is God’s plan for the conference!

Our Lord helped me understand something I think is important enough to share with everyone. I was getting very involved in politics (seems to be my weakness) in the government and in the Church with the new Synod coming in a few days. He helped me to realize that He is the Creator of all things…the universe, the world we live in and His very own Church. He is in control of it all! Everything will work out the way He has destined them to work out. He let me know that I am to take care of my business (that of living always and constantly in His Holy Will, praying in His Will for everything and every soul as well) and He will take care of His business, which is the world and the Church. It was so clear to me that it was easy to let go and let God! There’s nothing we can do about it anyway, except do our acts constantly in the DW, which does everything and contains everything and everyone! Fiat always!

This morning when I was praising God for so many blessings and graces He gives to everyone and all that He does take care of us, especially sending these two wonderful Priests to the conference! He allowed me another insight that was so beautiful and powerful, but from such a caring and loving God! Every time we call the DW to reign in us, we have in a most powerful way, a most Loving Mother, a most Caring Father, a Powerful Savior and a Sanctifying Holy Spirit, who declares His thoughts to men. With these reigning in our souls, of whom should we be afraid? No one nor anything! I wish I could help everyone understand the power within us and the love and care with which God looks after us and wants only what is best for each one of us. We can have them powerfully reigning within us constantly and all we have to do is one thing! One little, tiny thing! Give up self!

I have to laugh because that is so much easier to say than to do. But it is something we must strive for and work on daily!

I am sorry, I am off again on a tangent! So sorry! I pray you will not let Fr. Blount’s situation keep you from coming to the conference. I promise it’s going to be a fantastic conference! Although we will miss Fr. Blount a lot! May God heal him completely and totally so that we may experience him and God’s healing grace through him at another venue.

Remember we love all of you so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! And May God show you His power to care for you and to love you beyond your imagination in His Will!

HAPPY AND HOLY FEAST OF ST MICHAEL, ST GABRIEL, ST RAPHAEL,
THE WONDERFUL AND HOLY ARCHANGELS!

DIVINE ACTS!

Dear Divine Will Family,

Well, this seems like a wonderful day to write again. I will not waste your time on all that I have been involved in since I last wrote, but I have been very busy. I will summarize it to say, please continue to pray for my son, Paul, who is terminal and with whom I have spent a lot of time since my return to Florida from the fabulous retreat in Garabandal.

Talking about a fabulous retreat. It reminded me of the vision I had about the Kingdom to God and how souls will treat each other during that time. It wasn’t as perfect as what I saw, but almost! You could tell that these souls truly loved the Holy Will of God and wanted nothing but His Will in their lives, and they treated everyone as a child of God’s, with great respect, compassion and the love with which God loves each of us. You could tell that they were chosen by Our Lady and Our Lord for this pilgrimage. I can’t wait to find out whom they send next time!

Guy Murphy did a wonderful job of keeping the pilgrimage on time and for the souls to get as much out of it as possible. He was wonderful and you could tell that he was moved by Our Lady in all that he did. He invited the local Pastor, Don Rolando, to come to Mary’s House and give a talk on Garabandal. It was Divine Providence and proved to be so advantageous for Mary’s House and for the House of the Divine Will. He made it very clear to the villagers that we are a part of the village and that we were essential for the village. Not that the villagers treated us anyway but with respect and kindness, but this was the first time it was stated by the Parish Priest, and I think it really made an impression. I know it did on me!

It’s funny, the House of the Divine Will has been in the village for 24 years and never have we had any problem with the villagers! But times change and new people come in and some do not understand the ways of the village. But Don Rolando made everything very clear to all…the old and the new!

In my heart I knew this was a gift from Our Lady to make sure Her houses would remain unharmed in Garabandal, Spain!

I pray and hope that those who chose to come next May, or even before, if you so choose, will experience the graces we experienced at this retreat and time in Garabandal, Spain!

Ann Weigel gave two very awesome talks which were excellent insights into the ways of life in the Divine Will. Everyone learned a lot from her talks. She’s going to be great at the conference!

We had two very wonderful and holy Priests with us as well. Fr. Peter and Fr. Bill, friends of Guy Murphy. They also gave some very good talks, although more on human sanctity than on Divine Sanctity. Fr. Peter seems very interested in the Gift of the Divine Will, praise God!

Praying that you will be joining us next time in beloved Garabandal, Spain. So many of the people who came were raving about their time there and the retreat. They all seemed to love it. God is so good!!

Remember, we love all of you dearly and keep each of you in our daily prayers! May God bless you with all the graces needed to remain always in His Holy Will! Fiat always! May we love God’s preferences more than our own!

Ann Ellison

PS: Because I am so busy with my son, Paul, I have given you a very short statement that Jesus gave to Luisa about Divine Acts. Just ponder this for a while….there’s a ton of graces and material in just this very short verse!

Volume 22
“My daughter, the littlest motion, even the littlest breath done in the Divine Will, is all of God; and because it is His own, He finds in it everything that is His. In the act done in my Divine Fiat He finds divine sanctity, He finds His light, He finds His goodness, His love, His power; that act lacks nothing of what belongs to God. Therefore, they can be called Divine Acts, which are the most beautiful, the holiest and the most welcome; and before these acts, all other acts, as good as they may be, lose their value, their taste, and can never please Me.

† DIVINE WILL SNIPPET  (Extracts from the Book of Heaven by Luisa Piccarreta) Compiled by Ann Ellison April 1, 2023 GENERATIVE VIRTUE Dear Divine Will Family, How many have thought about the Generative Virtue of God?  What do this mean in our life in the Divine Will?  As is our God, it means great and holy things that you will realize as you read this Snippet!  The Generative Virtue is found only in two places, in the Annunciation in the Virgin Mary book and in Volume 27.  And because this is so important, I am going to make an exception for this Snippet and copy and paste an excerpt from that upper Volume!  My heart fills with gratitude and love of our Creator for being the immensely loving and extremely generous God that He is!  As Jesus has said that love begets love….so it is impossible not to love with all our being and soul a God so full of love for each of soul, but you must know Him to love Him!  And the Book of Heaven is the exceptional way to learn about His great love and plans for all mankind!  Please pray that all mankind will feel the need to know God, and then the desire to know more and more about Him!  It can change the face of the earth! Whew!  The federal taxes are done, and all of us at the Center have now been through and have come through the flu!  Praise God we are all feeling much better!  Now we are beginning to plan our annual conference.  How many would like the conference to be held in St. Louis, MO.  It’s the center of the USA and maybe those on the west coast would be able to attend.  Florida was so far away, and many from the west has asked us to please have the conference closer to the west coast.  So, we are seriously looking into St. Louis.  Your opinions mean a lot to the Center, so let us hear from you!  Felicia Murray and I leave for Fatima and Garabandal on the 31st of May and will return on the 2nd of August.  I need to return so I can work on the conference and because on the 17th of August, we both fly out to Santa Barbara, CA.  I have been asked to speak at a conference there.  If you would like any information on that conference, you can get in touch with Reid Wagner at [email protected].  It is strictly a Divine Will conference! We wish each and every one of you a very Blessed and Holy Easter Season!!  May you grow in the love and possession of the Holy Will of God during these day, the most holy days of our Beloved and Holy Catholic Church!!  Well, not much more news around here because we have been so busy with taxes and being sick, all for the glory of our Heavenly Father and for His Kingdom to come!  May it come quickly! We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our prayers!  May Our Good God’s Generative Virtue generate all good and holiness in your most precious soul!! Ann Ellison PS:  David Russell in union with Father Esau Garcia of Holy Cross Catholic Church is holding a workshop on May 6th which will be held at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 12600 Marsfield Ave., Orlando, Florida, 32837.  For more information, please write to David at: [email protected] PPS:  Please continue your prayers for my son, Paul.  He is not doing very well at all!  Fiat always!!  _________________________ Virgin Mary Book The Annunciation Now, listen to Me, dear child, where one can reach when the Divine Volition takes operating Life in the creature, and the human will leaves It free without impeding Its step.  This “Fiat,” which in nature possesses the generative virtue, generates all goods in the creature.  It renders it fecund, giving it the maternity over everyone, over all goods, and over Him who has created it.  Maternity says and means true love, heroic love, love that is content to die to give life to whomever it has generated.  If this would not be so, the word maternity would be sterile, empty and reduced to only a word; but with deeds it would not exist. Therefore, my child, if you want the generation of all goods, let the “Fiat” take operating life in you, which will give you maternity and you will love everyone with the love of mother.  I your Mother will teach you the way to make fruitful in yourself this all holy and divine maternity. ___________________________ Volume 27 December 16, 1929 …..I continued my abandonment in the Divine Fiat.  I felt the great need of It and of remaining always in Its sea of light, never to go out.  I felt It like heartbeat, like breath, like air that infused life in me and maintained in me the order, the harmony, the dissolving of my little atom within Its Divine Sea.  But while my little mind was crowded with thoughts of Divine Will, my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, there is no order, nor rest, nor true life, but in my Divine Fiat.  In fact, the life of each creature, her first act of life, is formed within the womb of her Creator; and then, as a birth from Us, We put it out into the light of the day.  And since We have within Ourselves the generative virtue, as a child of Ours, it carries with itself the seed that generates; and with this seed the creature forms many other births; and as she keeps carrying out her life, she forms the birth of her holy thoughts, of her chaste words, of the beautiful enchantment of her works, of the sweet treading of her steps, of the refulgent rays of her heartbeats.  And as all these births are formed from the creatures, they take their way to ascend to their Creator, to recognize Him as their Father, to love Him, surround Him by cortege, and form His long offspring, as Our glory and that of Our generative virtue.  But in order for Our generative virtue to fecundate, it takes Our Divine Will, dominating in the birth that come out of Us, otherwise there is the danger for it to be transformed into a brute, and to lose the virtue generative of good; and if it generates, it generates passions, weaknesses, vice; and these not only do not have the virtue of ascending to Us, but, on the contrary, they are condemned as births that do not belong to Us.”

LIGHT OF THE DIVINE WILL!

“Being light, she really knows that all the good that she does is done by God Himself, working within her nothingness; and if this nothingness has not been completely emptied of all that does not belong to God, God will not go down into that soul to create great works worthy of Him!”

Dear Divine Will Family,

I felt so compelled to send out another Snippet because I failed to thank all the wonderful and very generous souls who have prayed, and had Masses said for my son, Paul. How can I thank you enough? I can’t, but you all have my eternal gratitude and will be in my prayers until my last breath!

I know that there is not a prayer prayed that is not heard by Jesus and Our Heavenly Mother, so I know that all your prayers will help my son either with his conversion or on his death bed. I witnessed this miracle with my husband. Thank each of you with all my heart and soul for all your prayers and efforts to help him. I feel confident that God will help Paul. And I feel certain that Our Mother will not let go of him very easily because She never lets go of a soul confided to Her Immaculate Heart! So, thank you again and again! You show yourselves as true children of God concerned with saving souls. Our Heavenly Father will return your prayers for another soul with graces and blessings beyond our comprehension.

March 4th is Luisa’s death anniversary, and I thought Light, the Light of the Divine Will, since she saw all the Suns (Light) which her acts in the Divine Will created, would be appropriate to honor her and to teach us the magnificence of this Life of God reigning in our souls! What these Acts of God are doing accomplished in His Holy Will! Continue reading “”

VOIDS IN THE SOUL

Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the Kingdom of God. Andrew Murray

Dear Divine Will Family,

Happy beginning of Lent…..Ash Wednesday!! I thought this might be a good time to look at what Jesus teaches us about the “voids” in our souls! This is also a very, very good time to fill those voids in our own souls and, for the glory of God and for His Kingdom to come to every soul, to fill them in the Divine Will for all souls, past, present and future!

One reason I chose “voids” as my subject for this Snippet is because I was at Adoration on Tuesday and Jesus just seemed to fill me up with the realization of the voids in my own soul, and how so many things I do and never think anything about is was a cause of some of my voids! I have to say that I was really convicted and couldn’t help but cry my eyes out. He seemed to help me understand that even the littlest things that we do not even give a second thought about are void in souls. Remember at Mass on Sunday we listened to the Gospel about being perfect as Our Heavenly Father is perfect! He was showing me, it seemed, just how imperfect I am. It seems that we really have to be very attentive and faithful to every moment and for every act we do, as He taught Luisa so many, many times! Continue reading “”
