POINT #22 (RECEPTACLES) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

HAPPY BELATED PALM SUNDAY!!
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!!

Dear Divine Will Family,
Receptacles!! That is what we want to become…empty receptacles so God can fill us with Himself, and with all that He possesses, as much as a creature’s disposition will allow. How deeply we live in the Divine Will depends on our disposition and cooperation with the graces from Our Lady. Remember, Our Heavenly Mother is all that God is by grace, and She wants so badly for us to imitate Her. Of course, our graces would be to an infinitely smaller degree than that of the Mother of God, and our Mother! Isn’t it incredible that we have such a Mother in Heaven who loves us so much and would do anything to help us sanctify our souls for the glory of the Thrice Holy God! All we have to do is cooperate! So much easier said than done….how well I understand that! But, I believe She really looks at the desire of our hearts and souls, realizing that we do strive to be who God created us to be, but looking at our weaknesses and our lowliness, and feeling so sorry for us, She helps us even more! We are so very, very blessed to have such a Mother!

POINT #21 (Giving One’s Acts) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

HAPPY AND WONDERFUL SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION AND THE INCARNATION OF OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!!

Dear Divine Will Family,
This seems like a given. We can’t live in the Divine Will if we are not giving our human will, from where all our human acts are formed, to the Divine Will so that our human acts can be transformed into Divine Acts, into God’s Acts; and where all our human acts are animated by the Divine Will with the cooperation of our human will.

As usual, Jesus can certainly explain it much better than I can. Please read below the magnificent explanations by Jesus. Also read how difficult it is to leave the Divine Will, once you have firmly, sincerely and with all your heart entered into It. You have to want to leave It with the same intensity that you entered It, except for sin…that takes you out immediately!

We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers. May God never allow you to leave His Holy Will in any way, especially through sin, and may He bless you and yours keep you safe from all harm!

Ann Ellison

PS: Below is some writings about Our Lady”s and Our Lord’s great feast day! I am sorry I could not send out something earlier about this most wonderful Solemnity, but I had to go to the emergency room, but I am fine. God is so good!! And we were invited out tonight, which we (Kathy and I) promised a week ago, so I am so far behind! Please forgive me again!

POINTS 20 (PLAIN, SIMPLE TRUTH) FOR
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

Dear Divine Will Family,
It seems we have covered the subject of truth before, but the point here is to say or tell the truth in a way that is plain, simple and unadorned! There is no reason to make the truth elaborate, or grandiose! The truth is the truth and reading these Volumes as well as the Bible, you certainly do not hear Jesus making the simple truth more elaborate or grandiose. There is no need. It is like you are trying to convince someone of the truth, when that is God’s job as well. When we are teaching the plain, simple truth, God sends actual graces to the soul to whom we are speaking to realize the truth. It is up to the recipient to correspond to those graces, or use his human will to deny what we are saying, or to just push them aside. Here we are also talking about the planting of seeds again. Tell the truth of these writings plain and simple and all God to do all the rest.

I think that is enough said since we have gone over this several other times. You can even practice how you would teach or speak to someone about Luisa’s doctrine. In fact, it would be good to learn exactly what you would say if someone asked, or if God puts someone in your path to talk to about Luisa. Be prepared, and if they walk away, you walk away giving them blessings always, and smiling because you know in your heart that God is taking over now!

OK, now I am finished. Comments are always welcomed about any of these Points. And you are welcome to share these Points with your friends and family.

We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers. May God teach us how to explain Luisa’s writings in simple and plain truths!

POINTS 19 (CALLING THE DIVINE WILL) FOR
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

Dear Divine Will Family,
As Jesus explains below, it is necessary to “call His Will” into our souls in order to possess His Holy Will. This is another reason He explained and requires the ‘prevenient act’ and the ‘current act.’ As we are all aware, the prevenient act begins the moment we open our eyes to the new day, thanking Our Lord immensely for the new day and calling His Will to live in us, to act in all our actions, to love in us, to compassionate all others in us, to show mercy in us and to show immense gratitude toward our Good Lord in us! To do everything in us and with us. Basically, to animate all our actions so that they become Divine Actions, Immense, Eternal, and Multiplying to the Infinite!

It’s hard to believe that these kinds of things are happening in our souls and on earth and in Heaven, by merely calling the Divine Will into our souls to act!

The current act is so that we get in the habit of thinking of Our Good Lord all during the day, so in each individual act, we want to get in the habit of calling Jesus to do that particular act in us. For example: Come, Jesus, and let us drive to the grocery and shop together. Come, Jesus, and let cook for the family together, Come Jesus, let’s clean the house together, Come Jesus, let’s dust, let’s do taxes together, let’s build a house together, let’s work on cases in the courthouse together…in any and all things, it is so beneficial for our growth in the Divine Will to get in this habit of calling Jesus to do everything for you. It really could work into the constant thought of God, which is a huge blessing and grace! And this is most important for Jesus as He begs for us to be His constant companions. And this is how we can become His constant companions. Can you imagine a God begging for us to keep Him company? Well, our God does! How can we deny Him this simple request??

POINT #18 (KNOWLEDGE)
FOR RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

HAPPY FEAST OF ST JOSEPH!!

Dear Divine Will Family,

This is one of my favorite subjects in the Divine Will – knowledge!! One of the most important elements of living in the Divine Will. The more you know, the deeper and deeper you go down that rabbit hole until there is no getting out!! That’s exactly what we want!! No way out!! Reading and learning through any means possible is most important. Although, it has to be good and faithful knowledge of the Divine Will. These writings are very, very profound. You really need someone who is trained and who understands these writings, like a good Priest or theologian, if you have any questions to ask. I know some things; I certainly do not know it all, but one good thing is that I can find out things from an expert! I go to certain experts all the time if I don’t understand something. It would terrify me to rely on what I “think” I know.

One of the reasons for the moratorium is because people are misinterpreting the writings and causing scandal with the heresies they were teaching. I believe, and this is my humble opinion, it is better not to know these writings at all than to spread heresies about them. It came to the point that the Church almost shut the Cause of Luisa down…so it is very dangerous to interpret these writings on your own if you do not really understand what Jesus is teaching us.

But Jesus can help us understand if He sees a sincerity in our intentions to learn as much as we can for His glory and for His Kingdom to come! Remember, we must disappear. It is not about us…it is not about our own sanctification (Jesus will take care of that!), but about the sanctification of all souls, and the glory of the Father and for His Kingdom to come and be done on earth as It is done in Heaven by all souls….the answer to the Our Father! That’s what it is all about. Our intentions, living in the Divine Will, is what is going to spread the knowledge and bring more and more souls into this Life! They must be pure and have nothing to do with us! It is a universal and trans-temporal life, lived in the ambience of Eternity with God, living with His Intentions. God doesn’t have to think about Himself….He is All Holy, All Everything! He just thinks about souls and His Kingdom! He desire It to come and to be lived on earth as It is lived in Heaven so that He will live again that intimacy with His creatures for which He created us! It will come! .Jesus says It will, so It will! Enough said! Sorry, I do get carried away!

We love you all so much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! May God infuse in our souls such a love to acquire knowledge that we read and study these writing every day!!

HAPPY SOLEMNITY OF GREAT ST. JOSEPH!!

Dear Divine Will Family,
We had to recognize the wonderful Solemnity of Good St. Joseph!! We wish you the happiest of all days spent with St. Joseph. His role in the Redemption was crucial and should be remembered every day! All honor and love to the Great St. Joseph!

Below are some writings on St. Joseph from the Volumes! You enjoy and we will keep all of you in our daily prayers! May God continue to make St. Joseph more and more known and loved by all souls!
Ann Ellison
_______________________________

Volume 1 (no date)
Jesus: “These conversations of yours fill your mind with things that do not concern Me. They surround your heart with harmful sentiments and stifle the graces I have lavished on you, making them weak and lifeless. Ah, imitate Me as I lived in my home at Nazareth. I occupied my mind only with what concerned the glory of my Father and the salvation of souls. I opened my mouth only to say holy things and to atone for offenses committed against my Father. Thus, I attracted hearts and drew them to my love—especially my Mother and St. Joseph. Shall I tell you about the talks that I had with my Mother and my foster father? All that we said recalled God, and all that we did was done for God and all was referred to Him. Can you not do as much?”

Volume 4
December 25, 1900
Luisa: “But who could describe the beauty of the little Baby, who, in the moment of his birth even externally shone forth the rays of the Divinity? Who could describe the beauty of his Mother who remained totally absorbed in those Divine rays? With respect to St. Joseph, it seemed to me that he was not present during the actual birth, but was in another part of the cave, totally absorbed in that profound Mystery which—if he did not see it with the eyes of his body—he clearly saw with the eyes of his soul, because he was enraptured in sublime ecstasy.

December 26, 1900
Luisa continues her visit to the grotto.
As I continued to see the holy Baby, I saw the Queen Mother on one side and St. Joseph on the other, both profoundly adoring the Divine Infant. Being totally focused on Him, it seemed to me that the continued presence of the little Child kept them absorbed in continuous ecstasy. If they engaged in any other activity, it was only because of a prodigy that the Lord worked in them; otherwise, they would have remained immobile, unable to fulfill their external duties. I, too, completed my adoration and returned to my body.

Volume 17
December 24, 1924
Jesus: “My daughter, the act of My being born was the most solemn act in all creation; Heaven and earth felt themselves prostrate in profound adoration at the sight of My tiny Humanity—which held My Divinity in a kind of prison. Indeed, the act of My birth was an act of silence, profound adoration and prayer. My Mother prayed and remained enraptured by the force of the prodigy that came forth from Her. St. Joseph adored, the Angels adored; and all creation felt the force of the love of My creative power renewed in them. Everyone felt honored and received true honor, because the One who created them needed them to care for His Humanity.

“In the Incarnation I placed Myself at the mercy of My dear Mother. St. Joseph, to whom I made the gift of My Life, joined her at My birth. And since My works are Eternal and have no end, this Divinity, this Word, who descended from Heaven, did not leave the earth so as to have the chance to give Myself continuously to all creatures. As long as I lived, I gave Myself generously; and later, a few hours before My death, I worked the great miracle of leaving Myself sacramentally, for those who would want to receive the great gift of My Life. I did not consider the offense that they committed or their rejection in not wanting to receive Me. I said to Myself: ‘I have given Myself, and I do not want to leave ever again. Let them do what they want with Me, but I will always be theirs and at their service.’”
