RECIPE FOR LIVING IN THE DIVINE WILL

 

Dear Divine Will Family,
Did you know there is a recipe for Living in the Divine Will? Well, Jesus give this recipe to Luisa and I want to share it with you. With the Lessons under your belt, you can really begin to practice the ingredients for this recipe. It is just a little more to help you go even deeper in the Divine Will. Remember there are infinite degrees to this Life, so we want to continue to go deeper and deeper and deeper every day! You will never reach the bottom, even spending your entire life going deeper each day!!
Jesus said to Luisa: “My delight, if you are to live in my Heart it will suit you to begin leading a more perfect way of life. I therefore desire from you:
Perfect uniformity to my Will, because you can never love Me perfectly unless you love Me with my own Will; or rather I say to you: that in loving Me with my own Will you will arrive at loving Me and your neighbor with my own Love.
So, there are four (4) ingredients in this recipe and I am going to share one at a time with you. (I may add a fifth, but I am not sure yet.) In this way, you can study each one carefully and understand what Jesus wants from us in each of these ingredients. If I just list them, you will read them and that will be that. I hope I am not judging you by what I do….if so, please forgive me. It’s so important to study, not just read, these necessities for Living in the Divine Will. To consume them so that they are deeply rooted in your souls! They must become a part of your whole being!
I will be adding some things that Jesus teaches from the Volumes for each ingredient. Enjoy!

We love you so much and pray for each one of you in our daily prayers! May God allow these ingredients to be consumed by you so that you may live much more united to His Holy Will!
Ann

The most sublime state is to dissolve one’s own will in the Will of God, and to live by his Will.
This morning my adorable Jesus did not come. Then, after I had waited for a long time, He came, caressed me, and told me: “My daughter, do you know My designs on you, and the state I want you to achieve?” And, after pausing a little, He added: “My plan for you does not entail prodigies that I could do in you to show my power. Rather, my plan is to absorb you in my Will, so that you perfectly exemplify the uniformity of your will with Mine. This is the most sublime state, the greatest prodigy, and the miracle of miracles that I have planned for you.
“My daughter, to make her will perfectly one with Ours, the soul must make herself invisible. She must imitate the way I fill the world by keeping it absorbed within Myself and by not being absorbed in it, making Myself invisible—for I do not let Myself be seen by anyone. (This means that there is no matter in Me, but that everything is most pure Spirit.) If in my assumed Humanity I took on matter; it was to render Myself similar to man in everything and to give him a most perfect example of how to spiritualize his material part. So, the soul must spiritualize everything and become invisible so as to easily make her will one with my Mine, because invisible things can be absorbed by other objects. If one wants to make one object out of two objects, one of the two must lose its shape—otherwise one could never succeed in forming one single being out of two.
“How blessed you would be if by destroying yourself and becoming invisible, you could receive a fully divine form! Moreover, by your being absorbed in Me, and I in you, we would form one single being, and you would come to possess the divine source of all things within yourself. And since my Will contains every good thing that can ever be, you would come to possess all goods, gifts, and graces, and you would not have to look for them anywhere but within yourself. And if virtues have no boundaries, when the creature is in my Will, she will reach as far as she can and find their limits, because my Will makes one acquire the most heroic, sublime and unsurpassable virtues.
“The height of the perfection of a soul dissolved in my Will is so great that she comes to participate in all of God’s works. And this is no wonder, because it is no longer her will that lives in her but the Will of God Himself. No one should be amazed if, by living with this Will, she possesses the power, the wisdom, the sanctity and all the other virtues that God Himself contains. I tell you this so that you may fall in love with Him and cooperate with Him as much as you can. When she reaches the stage of living by my Will alone, the soul becomes the queen of all queens, and she mounts a throne so high that it reaches the throne of the Eternal One; she enters the secrets of the Most August Trinity, and participates in the reciprocal love of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. O how all the Angels and Saints honor her, men admire her, and demons fear her, seeing the Divine Being within her!”

Volume 11
February 8, 1915
Jesus came and said: “My daughter, the union of our wills is such that the volition of one cannot be distinguished from that of the others. It is this union of Wills that forms the perfection of the Three Divine Persons. As We are equal in our Will, this uniformity produces a uniformity of Sanctity, Wisdom, Beauty, Power, Love and of all the rest of our being. That is why We reflect Ourselves to Each Other, and our satisfaction in looking at Ourselves is so great that it makes Us completely happy. So, each of Us is reflected in the Others, and each One pours into the Others all the qualities of our Being, like many immense seas of different joys. If anything were dissimilar among Us, our Being could not be perfect, or fully happy.
“Now, when We created man, We infused our image and likeness into him to overwhelm him with our happiness, to be reflected in him and to delight in him. But man broke the first link of connection—the will—between himself and the Creator, thus losing his true happiness. Worse still, every kind of evil rained down upon him. So, We can neither find our reflection in him nor delight in him. We can only work in a soul who does our Will in everything—in her We enjoy the complete fruit of Creation. Even those who have some virtues, who pray and receive the Sacraments, do not allow Us to be reflected in them unless they conform to our Volition. If their will is cut off from Ours, everything remains in disorder and topsy-turvy.
“Ah, my daughter, only our Will is acceptable, since It re-orders, delights and contains all benefits. Therefore, do my Will always and in everything, and be concerned with nothing else.”

And here is the Holy Divine Will coming before me and saying: “My Will never ends; I have always some to give. Therefore, send her, as wish, my Love which rises continuously, my sanctity which is ever new, my virtue which is always working.”

What the Divine Will does in one who lives in It is unspeakable, incomprehensible, and so amazing as to astonish Heaven and earth; even the Angels remain speechless.

To live of Will of God means to love God with His own Love; and since the Divine Will is everywhere, we love Him for all and in all.

Dear Divine Will Family,
It is with sadness that it is announced that Fr. Bernardino Bucci passed away yesterday at 10:00 am. Please keep him in your prayers.
I am pasting a link to the Luisa Piccarreta, Pia Association’s newsletter which will give you the details of Fr. Bucci’s life and the many ways he was involved with Luisa and her life.
I had the great blessing of living in Corato for a time back in 1994 – 1995 period. First I lived with Adrianna Pallotti in San Giovanni Rotundo, where St. Padre Pio lived and died. It was an incredible time in my life living there.

Adrianna Pallotti

But, then Fr. John Brown, at the time my spiritual director, and Sr. Assunta decided they wanted me in Corato, so I spent most of my time in Italy there helping Sr. Assunta. So many memories and stories I could tell. Fr. Bucci and Sr. Assunta were very good friends and he would come and get us and take us to his country villa on Sundays. His brother would show us and we would cook and have a grand old time. Fr. Bucci would tell me all the stories about Luisa and his aunt Rosario Bucci and what life was like living at the time Luisa was alive. He was always a jolly and happy soul. I know he will be very missed by everyone who knew him.

Fr. Bucci

Sr. Assunta and I would go into the field behind his villa and pick faba beans, which were growing wild, and I would have to peel them when we got home. Can’t say I really enjoy that task, but everything was absolutely wonderful when I lived over there. We were so very busy and I got to meet so many of Luisa’s nieces and nephews. I met some of the nuns at the Convent of Fr. de Francia’s. Sr. Assunta and I would study Luisa’s writing every night and although I could not understand a lot of the Italian, I was learning. I was excited to learn Italian to be able to communicate with everyone. We had our cenacles every Thursday evening and all the association members, very dear friends who I still love and visit when I am there, would come.

Sr. Assunta and myself with her Baby Jesus last year

When Fr. John told me at the Costa Rica Conference that Tom Fahy needed me more than Sr. Assunta and that I needed to stay in America, I gave my fiat, but I cried for three years, missing Sr. Assunta and Adrianna. I fell madly in love with both of those very holy and excellent souls. Once the House of Sanctification open in Garabandal, Spain in 2000, and Tom put me there to care for it and to teach, I went back every year, sometimes several times a year, to visit both ladies. Tom gave me permission to spend summers over there with Sr. Assunta to help out.. I saw Adrianna every year up until her death. I have visited Sr. Assunta every year up until this year. How it breaks my heart that I cannot go and see her again this year, but it is another fiat that I can offer to God for His glory and for His Kingdom to come!

My friend, Felicia Murray and I went to visit the tomb of Fr. John Brown, who is buried in Corato. This was last year.

Well, I have made this all about me instead of Fr. Bucci. I am sorry. I wanted to tell you about Fr. Bucci, not about me, but the memories flooded back and I couldn’t help myself.
Please do keep him in your prayers, and all who are over in Corato, living and passed on, especially Sr. Assunta who is in her 90s now. They work very hard to spread the Kingdom and to finalize the Cause of Luisa. The duties are arduous with the many visitors. God bless them all!
And God bless all of you and your families. We send everyone much love and many prayers from here!
Ann
