“ALEJANDRA ACUNA’S RESPONSE TO THE PAUSE!”

Dear Divine Will Family!

I am going to make this short and sweet. Below is the response from Alejandra Acuna regarding the pause in the Cause of Luisa Piccarreta. She is the daughter of +Mr. Jose Acuna, a pioneer in living and spreading the doctrine of Luisa Piccarreta. He and his wife raised their family on this doctrine and they have a Priest in the Divine Will who participates regularly in the retreats held by the Official Association Luisa Piccarreta in Corato, Italy.

Alejandra is married and lives in Mexico and is raising her family on the doctrine of the Divine Will and is a brilliant and very knowledgeable teacher! I pray everyone reads this response. It is so right on! Brava, Alejandra! We thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge of the reasons for the pause in Luisa’s Cause.

The time has come that we all must unite and be a family together, not in groups or factions. May God give us all this great grace to help us understand exactly what Alejandra is explaining below!

Eternal blessings upon you and your family always!

† DIVINE WILL SNIPPET (Extracts from the Book of Heaven by Luisa Piccarreta) Compiled by Ann Ellison February 8, 2024 Feast of St. Josephine Bakhita, the Patroness of Human Trafficking Today is a day of prayer and awareness of human trafficking.     “RETREAT IN SAN SEBASTIAN DE GARABANDAL!”  Dear Divine Will Family, I pray all are at peace with the happenings of Luisa and her writings.  If we are not at peace, then you know that God cannot continue His Life in your soul!  And His Life in your soul is so extremely precious to Him, let’s never deny Him the gift of our little will to Him and the peace He needs to reign there!!    We are having retreats and conferences!!  Yea!  The knowledge of the doctrine of Luisa continues to live and it always will!    Our wonderful retreats in San Sebastian de Garabandal, May 14 – 21, 2024 are continuing and the May retreat we have some extraordinary speakers and teachers!!  Please get in touch with Totally Yours Pilgrimages who flyers are below to arrange to come.  You are welcome to stay at the Mary’s House, this is the most beautiful retreat House that Guy Murphy built in honor of Our Heavenly Mother, or at the Divine Will Institute and Retreat Center (formally known as the House of Sanctification), as long as there are rooms available.  The speakers are phenomenal.  They are: Mother Gabrielle Marie of the Benedictine Daughters of the Divine Will will be our keynote speaker.  We are so excited to have her!  What a gift from God and a true benefit for all the souls who will be there to learn from her!  We will also have Fr. Robert Hurd, S. J. who will teach us about the St. Ignatius mediations.  These meditations are so important to our life in the Divine Will, so don’t discount them.  We had a lady last year who was so disappointed that the entire retreat was not solely on Divine Will, but by the time the retreat had ended she came to me and thanked me over and over again for the teachings on St. Ignatius mediations.  She couldn’t get over how much it helped her now when reading and mediating on Luisa’s writings.  It made a “world of difference!”  Guy Murphy will be joining in on these lessons as well.  Guy is a fantastic teacher and will enhance any talks or teachings you are in.    And Michael O’Brian will be back!  What a joy he is!!  Michael will certainly keep the place clapping and jumping with such awesome spiritual songs of Our Lady and Our Lord!  He was so much fun last year, and you can feel the love he has for Our Lady in his songs!!    I will be giving a talk or two, as God Wills it.  But mostly, I hope to be with everyone else learning more and more from the fabulous teachers and guides that we will enjoy at the retreat in San Sebastian de Garabandal, Spain….the village of Our Lady!! Here are the flyers: ________________ It is always good to go to as many retreats and conferences as you can.  As Our Lord said, “Knowledge is the key to living in the Divine Will and the more knowledge you have the more efficacious your acts are and the more effective they are!!  The more they can save souls, glorify God, and bring His Kingdom to all!  Knowledge is the key to where you will spend your eternity!!  The more knowledge the higher you are and the more intimate you will be united to the Most Holy Trinity!!  There are choirs of Angels in Heaven and there will be choirs of the children of the Divine Will.  The more knowledge you have determines where you will be in that choir….of course, any degree of knowledge of the Divine Will in doing your acts is greater than the greatest holy human act of any Saint!  So, I encourage you to attend as many retreats, and conferences as you can and to study, study and study the writings!!    We never know what is going to happen in this world we live in today.  Things could change in an instant, so make sure your priorities are where they should be.  Duties before devotion always, so be the best employer, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, aunt, uncle and grandparent as you can be to all souls for the glory of God, but God is always first before anything else, if you have to choose!  May God prevent that time from ever taking fruition.    We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers!  May God bring you enormous knowledge through your studies and through this wonderful retreat God is allowing us at this time.   Ann Ellison

Jesus: “Oh, how she glorifies Us and loves Us, it seems that she says to Us: I am little nor is it given me to enclose and to contain all Your immensity, but what You are, such am I, your Divine Will has enclosed You in me and I love You with your same love, I glorify You with your light, I adore You with your sanctity, I can give You everything because I possess my Creator. What thing cannot my Divine Will do in the creature, when she lets herself be dominated by Him? Everything. Therefore, be attentive, if you want everything and to give everything.”

Volume 32
June 29, 1933
Jesus: “This tiny one with her efforts, with her embarrassments, with her sayings, she wounds Us, enraptures Us, enchains Us, and then do you know what We do? We take up the little one and We adapt Ourselves to her, with a prodigy of Our omnipotence, We make flow Our immensity, Our power, sanctity, love, beauty, goodness, in a way that our Divine Being remains inside and outside of her, inseparable from her, and she sees that everything is hers and the little one in her emphasis of love says to Us: how content and happy I am, I can say that Your immensity is yours and mine, and I love You with immense love, with powerful love, to my love there lacks nothing, neither Your sanctity, nor Your goodness, nor Your beauty that enraptures, conquers and obtains all; not to content the human littleness in our Will, proves impossible to Us, and since with her littleness she cannot adapt herself to Us, God adapts Himself to her, and it proves easy to Us, because there are not extraneous elements to Us, but everything is Ours, at the most she will be little, but this says nothing, she will be more to Our care to make her how much more beautiful We can.”

NEW ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE DIVINE WILL CONFERENCE
NOVEMBER 1 – 4, 2023

Dear Divine Will Family,
I wanted to give everyone a new advertisement for the conference since Fr. James Blount cannot be with us. His assistant wrote a beautiful letter stating how sorry he is that he cannot make it. I have put it in the conference schedule for everyone to read!
Please continue to pray for his health and well being! We need him back out on the circuit teaching everyone the truth and giving everyone heads up on what is coming! Fiat always, God’s Will alone in all matters!
We love all of you so much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! God bless you with peace, joy and love for all souls and the immense grace to always stay in order! It’s a most important part of life in the Divine Will. If we are not in order, for God is Order Itself, then you will struggle a lot trying to live this most precious life!
Ann Ellison
PS: Can’t wait to see you at the conference….it’s going to be great! We have a surprise speaker!! It is NOT Fr. Blount!!

“FUSING YOURSELF IN MY WILL!”
(Live Streaming Information below!)

Dear Divine Will Family,

Wow, in just a few days we will be in Orlando, Florida, at our conference on the Divine Will with great speakers! The theme of our conference this year is: “Into the Kingdom of the Divine Will through our Blessed Mother, Mary!”

Our Lady plays such an important part in our life in the Divine Will. None of us could even remain in the Divine Will without Her help. After all, God has given Her all the graces which exist in God to distribute as She sees fit and to whom She wants! So, we have so much for which to be grateful to Her! She is our Mama, our Queen, our Advocate, our everything! We must always thank God for Her at every moment! It is always good when praying your Rosary, at the first three Hail Mary’s, after asking for an increase of Faith, Hope and Love, we thank God for choosing Mary to be the Mother of God, the Spouse of God and the Daughter of God! Thanking Him specifically for choosing Mary, She gives us so many graces! She loves for us to thank God for choosing Her!

I love this very short passage that I am sharing today. One of my favorites! It magnifies what an act in the Divine Will is and the importance of doing them! Read and enjoy and revel in the fact that we understand and have this incredible knowledge! How good God is to each one of us!! Eternally grateful to God, to Our Mama, and to all of Heaven for this immense grace!

Anyway, God is showing His favor by allowing us to finally get live streaming!! We are asking a reduced cost this time because it is our first time live streaming conference. We are asking $30.00 per person up to 5 people to get the link and password to watch the conference. For 5 – 10 people, $25.00 per person, if more than 10 to 20 people $20.00 per person; for more than 20 people, $15.00 per person! Each person has to register their name online before the receiving the link and password, or for the group coordinator to receive the info to sign in. Group names (large and small) can be entered by the group coordinator. (Remember, Group rates mean you have to be with a group watching in the same place. It is not a cenacle and everyone is watching at their homes.) I have attached a schedule to this email so you can see who will be speaking and when. You may use the same link and password for all 4 days.

There is a link on our website where you can sign up for the live streaming. This is a note from our IT lady who is doing this live streaming for us. Please pay attention to these instructions:

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!
