Meditations for the Holy Rosary

The prayer of the Holy Rosary is a wonderful and powerful tool by which the soul can follow her round in the acts of the Divine Will. As the soul fuses herself in the Will of God, she finds all of the acts done by the Divine Will in Creation, Redemption and Sanctification, in act and at her disposal, in order for her to receive them, repeat them within herself, offer them to God as her own, as acts of love and thanksgiving in the name of the whole human family, and therefore grow more and more in the image and likeness of her Creator, doing before Him the very office of the Humanity of Our Lord. And all this, while being accompanied and guided by her Heavenly Mother, the Mother and Queen of the Divine Will, who, with infinite care and attention, performs Her maternal office toward the soul, investing her with Her seas love and wisdom, with the power of Her own prayer, making sure that she lack nothing, so that her prayer may be a universal prayer, and her interior acts - on each bead, on each ‘Hail Mary’ - may be complete and perfect acts of Divine Will, and the very Life of Jesus, in His Humanity and Divinity, may be repeated within her.

In the light of the Truths on living in the Divine Will, the soul can see how the prayer of the Holy Rosary – a gift and invitation which our Heavenly Mother offered to all Her children many centuries ago through Saint Dominic, and continues to do so; and which the Holy Church has received gratefully, encouraging Her children to make use of it, today more than ever, through our Holy Father Pope John Paul II – can now display and unfold all of its power and riches: not just the meditation and contemplation of the life of Jesus in order to conform oneself to it and to imitate it, but, through the power of the Will of God dwelling and operating in the soul as her very live, the very repetition of the Life of Jesus within her, and the multiplication of this Life, with Its infinite value and effects, for the good of all souls.

Therefore, the twenty mysteries/decades of the Holy Rosary (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious) are indeed the milestones which lead the soul along her journey within the Humanity of Our Lord, in His Divine Will. However, Jesus did many more acts during His Life, and each of them contains infinite value and riches of sanctity, of wisdom, of love, of beauty… which yearn to communicate themselves to the soul. But in order to be able to receive them, it is necessary to recognize them, to remember them, to repeat them within oneself. And so the Holy Rosary becomes the guideline of an infinitely extendible and expandable journey within the acts of the Divine Will - not only those of Redemption, but also those of Creation (the acts of the Divine Will enclosed and veiled in each created thing), and those of Sanctification (the operations of the Holy Spirit for the sanctification of souls through the Sacraments, through His gifts, through the Magisterium of the Church). And with a Guide as our Heavenly Mother Herself, and the unfailing Light of the Holy Spirit, the journey of the soul throughout the endless expanses of the Divine Will, will be the safest and yet most exciting one. The soul herself will feel more and more the need to pray it slowly, as she goes from act to act (from bead to bead), to be able to focus her attention on the surprises, riches and treasures placed on her path, so as to receive them carefully and savor them gratefully, one by one. And she continues journeying each day in the Divine Will by means of the prayer of the Holy Rosary, her abandonment to the loving guidance of her Celestial Mama will increase, and, with it, her childlike confidence and creativity in strolling and flying throughout the immeasurable possessions and riches of the Kingdom of her Heavenly Father - the Kingdom of the Divine Will, which is her Kingdom too.

“….Just as the Sovereign Lady conquered Her Creator, and bejewelling Him with Her chains of love, She drew Him from Heaven to earth to make Him form the Kingdom of Redemption, so will the sweet and powerful beads of Her Rosary make Her victorious and triumphant again before the Divinity, conquering the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, to make It come into the midst of creatures….” (October 7, 1928 Volume 25)

The baptism administered by St. John the Baptist was a call for repentance and purification, the sign of the desire of the soul to be cleansed and to prepare the way and the space within herself for the gift of Redemption, the life of grace, the means of Salvation, which the longed-for Messiah, the Son of God made Man, would bring upon earth. The Sacramental Baptism instituted by Jesus frees the soul of the stain of original sin and activates the gift of grace within her, making her a child of God. However, the life of grace received through Baptism can be rendered sterile by lack of correspondence, or even suppressed by sin, since all Sacraments produce their effects within the soul according to her dispositions. But when the Divine Will reigns in the soul as her very life, baptizing every fiber of her being, she comes to possess the very source of grace, she lives of Divine Life; and that very Divine Will which has the power to purify, to baptize, to generate Divine Life is her Will too.

[Jesus says:] “My daughter, the baptism at birth is by water, therefore it has the virtue of purifying, but not of removing tendencies and passions. On the other hand, the baptism of victim is baptism by fire, therefore it has not only the virtue of purifying, but of consuming any passion and evil tendency. Even more, I Myself baptize the soul, bit by bit: my thought baptizes the thought of the soul; my heartbeat baptizes her heartbeat; my desire her desire, and so on. However, this baptism is carried out between Myself and the soul, according to whether she gives herself to Me without ever taking back what she has given Me….” (March 13, 1912 Volume 11)

…While my mind was immersed in the Divine Fiat, my sweet Jesus, visiting my little soul, with inexpressible goodness told me: “My blessed daughter of my Will, how many wonders my Will can make in the creature, as long as she gives It the first place and all the freedom to operate. My Will takes the will, the word, the act that the creature wants to do, It makes it part of Itself, It covers it with Its creative virtue, pronounces Its Fiat over it, and forms as many lives for as many existing creatures. See, you were asking in my Will for the baptism of all newborn babies that will come out to the light of the day, and then, for Its Life to reign in them. My Will did not hesitate one instant; immediately It pronounced Its Fiat and formed as many Lives of Itself for as many newborn babies coming out to the light - baptizing them, as you wanted, with Its first light, and then giving Its Life to each one of them. And if these newborn babies, either for lack correspondence or for lack of knowledge, will not possess Our Life, this Life still remains for Us, and We will have many Divine Lives which love Us, glorify Us, bless Us, as We love within Ourselves. These Divine Lives are Our greatest glory, but they do not put aside the creature who gave Our Divine Fiat the occasion to form so many of Our Lives for as many newborn babies as were coming out to the light; on the contrary, they keep her hidden within themselves to let her love as they love, and let her do what they do. Nor do they put the newborn babies aside; on the contrary, they are all eyes over them, they watch them, they defend them, so as to be able to reign in their souls….” (April 12, 1938 Volume 36)

(The soul follows Jesus at the Jordan; she asks for the salutary Baptism of His Divine Will).

My Life, Jesus, as You arrive at the Jordan, I want to make my “I love You” flow in those waters, in such a way that, as St. John pours them over your head to baptize You, You may feel that your little child does not leave You alone, but keeps You company with her “I love You”, making it flow in those waters to ask You for the baptismal water of your Divine Will for all creatures, so that the beginning of your Kingdom may come. My Love, in this solemn act of your Baptism, I ask You for a grace that You certainly will not deny to me: I pray You to baptize my little soul with your holy hands, with the vivifying and creative water of your Divine Will, that I may hear, see or know nothing but the Life of your Fiat. (The Round of the soul in the Divine Will)

While traveling along this decade, immersed in the Divine Will and identified with Jesus, during the first three Hail Marys the soul can focus her interior on the baptism of purification imparted by St. John the Baptist; then, during the following three Hail Marys, on the Sacramental Baptism of grace; and finally, during the last four Hail Marys, on the baptism of Divine Will, with the intention of imparting them to all, and of receiving them within all. In doing so, she accompanies the Divine Will and participates in Its work of purifying, of redeeming, and of sanctifying souls.

The gift of the Divine Will is the choicest and most delicious wine, which the Master of the house, Our God and Father, keeps for last to the amazement and delight of His children, invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb. It is the greatest prodigy in Heaven and on earth, it is the miracle of miracles: the Sun of the Divine Will, transforming the human will into Sun, acts within it as in Its own center[2]. All the miracles which Jesus performed during His public life are similes, shadows and images of the greatest miracle of all – that of making a creature live in His Divine Will. And just as the first miracle, which He performed at Cana, was obtained through Mary, so will the greatest miracle of the Divine Will be given through Her, who laid the foundation of Its Kingdom within Her soul, and who, untiringly, guides Her children toward It.

[Our Celestial Mother says:] “My dearest child, my Heart is swollen with love, and I felt the need to tell you the reason why, together with my Son, I wanted to be present at this wedding of Cana. Do you think it was because of a simple ceremony? No, child, there are profound mysteries. Pay attention to Me, and I will tell you new things: how my love of Mother was displayed in an incredible manner, and how the love of my Son gave true signs of paternity and royalty for the creatures.

Now listen to Me. My Son had come back from the desert, and was preparing Himself for His public life; but first He wanted to be present at this wedding, and therefore He allowed Himself to be invited. We went there, not to celebrate, but to work great things for the human generations. My Son took the place of Father and King in the families, and I took the place of Mother and Queen. With Our presence We renewed the sanctity, the beauty, the order of the marriage formed by God in the Garden of Eden – that of Adam and Eve – married by the Supreme Being in order to populate the earth, and to multiply and increase the future generations. Marriage is the substance from which arises the life of the generations; it can be called the trunk from which the earth is populated. The priests, the religious, are the branches; but if it were not for the trunk, not even the branches would have life. Therefore, through sin, by withdrawing from the Divine Will, Adam and Eve caused the family to lose its sanctity, beauty and order. And I, your Mama, the new innocent Eve, together with my Son, went to reorder that which God did in Eden; I constituted Myself Queen of families, and impetrated the grace that the Divine Fiat might reign in them, that I might have families which would belong to Me, holding the place of Queen in their midst.

But this is not all, my child. Our love was burning, and We wanted to make known to them how much We loved them, and to give them the most sublime of lessons. And here is how: at the height of the lunch, wine lacked, and my Heart of mother felt consumed with love, wanting to give help. Knowing that my Son can do anything, with supplicating accents, but certain that He would listen to Me, I say to Him: “My Son, the spouses have no more wine.” And He answers Me: “My hour to do miracles has not yet come.” And knowing that He certainly would not deny what His Mama asked of Him, I said to those who were serving the table: “Do what my Son tells you, and you will have what you want; even more, you will receive in addition, and in superabundance."

My child, in these few words I gave a lesson, the most useful, necessary and sublime for the creature. I spoke with the heart of a mother and I said: “My children, do you want to be holy? Do the Will of my Son. Do not move from what He tells you, and you will have His likeness, His sanctity in your power. Do you want all evils to cease? Do whatever my Son tells you. Do you want any grace, even difficult? Do whatever He tells you and wants. Do you also want the necessary things of natural life? Do whatever my Son tells you. Because in His words, in everything He tells you and wants, He encloses such power that, as He speaks, His word contains what you ask for, and makes the graces you desire arise within your souls. How many see themselves as full of passions, weak, afflicted, unfortunate and miserable; yet, they pray and pray, but because they do not do what my Son asks, they obtain nothing; Heaven seems to be closed for them. This is a sorrow for your Mama, because I see that while they pray, they move away from the source in which all goods reside – the Will of my Son.

Now, those who were serving did precisely what my Son said to them – that is: “Fill the jars with water and bring them to the table.” My dear Jesus blessed that water and it turned into delicious wine. Oh, a thousand times blessed, the one who does what He says and wants! With this, my Son gave Me the greatest honor, He constituted Me Queen of miracles; this is why He wanted my union and my prayer in doing His first miracle. He loved Me too much - so much that He wanted to give Me first place as Queen in miracles also. And with facts, not with words, He said: “If you want graces and miracles, come to my Mother; I will never deny anything She wants.”

In addition to this, my child, with my presence at this wedding, I looked at the future centuries. I saw the Kingdom of the Divine Will upon earth; I looked at families, and I pleaded for them to symbolize the love of the Sacrosanct Trinity, so that Its Kingdom might be in full force. With my rights of Mother and Queen, I took to heart Its regime; and since I possessed the source of it, I placed at the creatures’ disposal all the graces, the helps and the sanctity which are needed to live in a Kingdom so holy. So I keep repeating: “Do whatever my Son tells you.”

My child, listen to Me: look for nothing else, if you want to have everything in your power, and give Me the contentment of being able to make of you my true child, and child of the Divine Will. Then will I take on the commitment of forming the marriage between you and the Fiat; and acting as your true Mother, I will bind the marriage by giving you the very life of my Son as dowry, and my maternity and all my virtues as gift”. (The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will – Appendix 6)

(The soul follows Jesus at the wedding of Cana, asking Him to exchange the human will with the Divine. She continues to follow Him in His public life).

My Jesus, for the sake of that love that pushed You to surrender to the supplications of the Sovereign Queen to make the miracle of changing the water into wine, I pray You, also for the sake of your love for your Celestial Mama, to make the great miracle of changing the human will into the Divine, that It may reign on earth as It does in Heaven.

Holy Mama, You who had so much care for Jesus to change the water into wine, so as to make the spouses happy – O please, I pray You not to let Jesus leave for His public life, if He does not concede to You that His Will will come to reign upon earth.

My Jesus, You keep sowing miracles, and I accompany You always with my “I love You, I bless You and I thank You”. My Jesus, as You pass roads and cities, a moving scene becomes present to You: blind, mute, deaf, crippled, paralyzed people, lepers, and all the human miseries that pierce your Divine Heart. Oh! how You shudder; your Heart catches upon seeing that very human nature which came out so beautiful and perfect from your creative hands, transformed into miseries and almost horrible to the sight – all the effect of the degraded human will which, overflowing with its wicked effects, rendered humanity unhappy. O please! my Love, I beg You to let your Fiat return to reign in our midst. If You want, You can; and It will put to flight the unhappinesses that the human will has produced. Therefore, I make my “I love You” flow in your act of giving sight to the blind, that they may acquire the sight to know your Divine Will. How many blind to your Divine Will! The earth is filled with these poor blind; therefore I pray You that everyone may have the sight to know and look at your Most Holy Will. (The Round of the soul in the Divine Will)

During this part of the journey, the soul can accompany Jesus in the first acts of His public life and in the many miracles He performed, with intentions of repeating those acts within herself, of thanking Jesus in the name of all for the gift of Redemption, and of receiving the full fruit of those acts within each soul. One interior act for each Hail Mary, as for example,: (1)Jesus prepares Himself in the desert for His public life, and defeats Satan and his temptations; (2)He performs the first miracle at the wedding of Cana; (3)He calls the Apostles; (4)He heals lepers; (5)He casts out demons; (6)He gives sight to the blind; (7)He gives speech to the mute; (8)He cures all kinds of maladies; (9)He feeds multitudes of people; (10)He raises the dead.

THE THIRD LUMINOUS MYSTERY – THE PREACHING OF JESUS, ANNOUNCING HIS KINGDOM

Because of original sin, Adam lost the gift of the Divine Will as his life, which he had received in creation, and could no longer transmit it to the human generations. However, in His infinite love for man, God promised the Redemption of mankind - not only from the slavery of sin, but from that of the human will; a complete Redemption (=restoration, restitution) - not only of grace, but of the Divine Will Itself as the life of man: nothing less than the restoration of man’s original state. In order to do this, He had to begin to manifest His Will again, little by little, which had been rejected and forgotten by man; and He did so by means of the word - first by communicating to His unruly children His laws and rules through the prophets; and then, by announcing the Gospel, the Good News of Redemption, through the Incarnation and the Sacrifice of the Word Himself, who is the revelation of the Father and of His Will to humanity. But Jesus has not stopped His preaching, nor can He do so until the purpose of His coming upon earth, the complete Redemption of man, has been fulfilled. The Truths on the living in the Divine Will - the words concerning Its Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven, which Jesus has manifested through Luisa, and which, like the creating Fiat, possess the virtue of communicating the good which they contain to those who, being disposed, want to receive them - brings about the fulfillment of Redemption, of the coming of the Word Incarnate upon earth: the establishment and the confirmation of the Kingdom of the Divine Will on earth as It is in Heaven.

[Jesus says:] “…You must know that, in coming upon earth, I came to manifest my Celestial doctrine, to make known my Humanity, my Fatherland, and the order which the creature had to maintain in order to reach Heaven - in a word, the Gospel. But I said almost nothing or very little about my Will. I almost passed over It, only making them understand that the thing which I cared the most about was the Will of my Father. I said almost nothing about Its qualities, about Its height and greatness, and about the great goods which the creature receives by living in my Volition, because the creature was too much of an infant in Celestial things, and would have understood nothing. I just taught her to pray: ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua, sicut in coelo et in terra’, so that she might dispose herself to know this Will of Mine in order to love It, to do It, and therefore receive the gifts It contains. Now, that which I was to do at that time - the teachings about my Will which I was to give to all - I have given to you. So, making them known is nothing but making up for what I Myself was to do while on earth as the fulfillment of my Coming. Don’t you want Me, then, to fulfill the purpose of my coming upon earth? Therefore, let Me do; I will watch over everything and dispose everything - and you, follow Me and be at peace.” (June 2, 1921 Volume 13)

“…The importance of the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat is immense, and I love It so much, that I am doing more than a new Creation and Redemption. In fact, in Creation my omnipotent Fiat was pronounced only six times in order to dispose It to come out fully ordered. In Redemption I spoke, but since I did not speak about the Kingdom of my Will which contains infinite knowledges and immense goods, I did not have a very extensive subject with many words to say, because everything I taught was of limited nature, and a few words were enough to make it known. But in order to make my Will known, it takes much, my daughter. Its history is extremely long - it encloses an eternity with no beginning and no end; therefore, as much as I speak, I have always something to say. This is why I am saying – oh, how much more! Being more important than anything, It contains more knowledges, more light, more greatness, more prodigies; therefore, more words are necessary. More so, since the more I make known, the more I expand the boundaries of my Kingdom to be given to the children who will possess It. Therefore, everything I manifest about my Will is a new creation which I make in my Kingdom, to be enjoyed and possessed by those who will have the good of knowing It. And so, great attention is required on your part in manifesting them.” (September 17, 1926 Volume 20)

Divine Mama, may your word and that of Jesus descend into my heart and form in me the Kingdom of the Divine Will. (The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will – Day Twenty-six)

During this decade, guided by Mary, who is the Seat of Wisdom and of the Knowledge of God, and in whose womb the Word Himself has become flesh, the soul can adore and thank God in the name of all for manifesting and communicating His Divine Will to mankind, through necessary gradual steps, due to the limited capacity of the creature: first as law, through the Commandments (three beads); then, as remedy against all evils and as means of Salvation, through the Gospel (three beads); and finally, as the very Life of the creature, through the Truths on living in the Divine Will - the crowning and fulfillment of the purpose of Creation (the remaining four beads).

Through the knowledges and truths on the living in the Divine Will, Jesus manifests His Divinity to the soul; He manifests how His Divine Will operated with His human will, He manifests the interior life of the Incarnate Word, He transfigures Himself before her eyes - and not just to give her simple news[5], but to let her share in His very Divinity, to transform her and transfigure her within Himself. And the soul who lives in His Will is not frightened as were the disciples in hearing the voice of the Father; she does not need to descend from the high mountain of the Divine Will, because the Divine Will dwells within her; she cannot keep quiet about this manifestation, but will proclaim and effuse the Divinity of Christ through each of her acts; and the tent which she prepares as permanent dwelling for Jesus and the whole Celestial Court is her very being.

[Jesus says:] “…It is my usual way to do minor things first, as preparation for greater ones - these, being the crowning of the minor things…. I maintained this order also in Redemption. My birth was without glamour, rather, it was neglected; my childhood was without splendor of great things before men; my life in Nazareth was so hidden that I lived as if ignored by all; I adapted Myself to do the smallest and most common things of human life. During my public life there were a few great things, but still - who knew my Divinity? Nobody, not even all of the Apostles. I passed through the crowds like any other man, so much so, that anyone could approach Me, talk to Me, and if needed, even despise Me.” And I, interrupting Jesus’ speaking, said: ‘Jesus, my Love, how happy those times were, and even happier those people who, just by wanting it, could come close to You, talk to You, and be with You!’ And Jesus: “Ah! my daughter, only my Will brings true happiness. It alone encloses all goods within the soul, and making Itself crown around the soul, constitutes her queen of true happiness. Only these souls will be the queens of my throne, because they are a birth from my Will….” (April 15, 1919 Volume 12)

“…My love wants to pour itself out; it wants to make known the excesses which my Divinity operated in my Humanity for the creatures - excesses which greatly surpass the excesses that my Humanity operated externally. This is also why I often speak to you about living in my Will, which I have not manifested to anyone until now. At the most, they have known the shadow of my Will, the grace and the sweetness of doing It. But to penetrate inside of It, to embrace immensity, to be multiplied with Me and - even while being on earth - penetrate everywhere, both into Heaven and into the hearts, laying down the human ways and acting in divine ways - this is not yet known; so much so that not to a few will this appear strange, and those who do not keep their minds opened to the light of the Truth will not understand a thing. But little by little I will make my way, manifesting now one truth, now another, about this living in my Will, so that they will end up understanding.

Now, the first link which connected the true living in my Will was my Humanity. My Humanity, identified with my Divinity, swam in the Eternal Volition, and kept tracing all the acts of creatures in order to make them Its own, to give to the Father a divine glory on the part of creatures, and to bring the value, the love, the kiss of the Eternal Volition to all the acts of creatures. In this sphere of the Eternal Volition, I could see all the acts of creatures - those which could be done and were not done, and also the good acts done badly - and I did those which had not been done, and redid those done badly. Now, these acts which were not done, except by Me alone, are all suspended in my Will, and I await the creatures to come to live in my Volition, and repeat in my Will that which I did. This is why I chose you as the second link of connection with my Humanity, a link which becomes one with mine, as you live in my Volition and repeat my own acts. Otherwise, on this side my love would remain without its outpouring, without glory from the creatures for all that my Divinity operated within my Humanity, and without the perfect purpose of Creation, which must be enclosed and perfected in my Will. It would be as if I had shed all my Blood and suffered so much, and nobody had known it. Who would have loved Me? Which heart would have been shaken? No one; and therefore in no one would I have had my fruits - the glory of Redemption.”

Interrupting Jesus’ speaking, I said: ‘My Love, if there is so much good in this living in the Divine Will, why did You not manifest it before?’ And He: “My daughter, first I had to make known what my Humanity did and suffered externally, to be able to dispose souls to knowing what my Divinity did inside. The creature is incapable of understanding my work all together; therefore I keep manifesting Myself little by little. Then, from your link of connection with Me, the links of other souls will be connected, and I will have a cohort of souls who, living in my Volition, will redo all the acts of the creatures. I will receive the glory of the many suspended acts done only by Me, also from the creatures - and these, from all classes: virgins, priests, lay people, according to their office. They will no longer operate humanly; but rather, as they penetrate into my Will, their acts will multiply for all in a way which is fully divine. I will receive from creatures the divine glory of many Sacraments administered and received in a human way, of others which have been profaned, of others sullied with interest, and of many good works in which I remain more dishonored than honored. I yearn so much for this time; and you, pray and yearn for it together with Me, and do not move your link of connection with Mine, but start - as the first one.” (January 29, 1919 Volume 12)

Oh! my Sun, my beautiful One, I want to enter right into the center, that I may remain submerged completely within this most pure light. Oh Divine Sun, let this light precede me, follow me, surround me everywhere and penetrate into every intimate hiding place of my interior, that my terrestrial being may be consumed, and You may transform it completely in your Divine Being.

Oh! my all and beautiful Jesus, if You communicate so much peace in the few moments You manifest Yourself in this life - in such a way that one can suffer the most painful martyrdoms, the most humiliating pains with the most perfect tranquillity - what will it be like in Paradise?

On this part of her continuous round, the soul can renew, once again, her act of fusing herself completely in the Humanity and Divinity of Jesus, part by part, member by member. It may seem that she takes a break from her long journey in the acts of the Divine Will, but it is not so; the Sun of the Divine Will has Its center in the Humanity of Our Lord, and one who lives in It lives in this center[7], and from it, she spreads light everywhere and to all. And so, with order, beginning with the three powers of the soul, continuing with the five senses, and concluding with the most necessary vital functions of her being - one step for each bead, the soul fuses (1)her intelligence in the intelligence of Jesus; (2)her memory in His memory; (3)her will in His Will; (4)her eyes in His eyes; (5)her sense of smell in His; (6)her voice in His; (7)her hearing in His; (8)her hands and works in His; (9)her heartbeat and breathing in His; (10)the circulation of her blood in His.

Jesus left Himself in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to provide the soul with the divine nourishment of His very Life, having the ultimate purpose of establishing a perennial Communion with her, as it was meant to be from the beginning of Creation. The complete fruit of the Holy Eucharist is the soul’s becoming a living Host herself – and not for brief moments and through the sacramental veils of the accidents of the bread; but always and continuously, because of the Divine Will dwelling in her as Life, which is the very source of the Sacraments. As the soul fuses herself in the Divine Will and lives and operates in It, she finds, present and in act, the very act of Jesus of instituting the Holy Eucharist and of communicating Himself to souls. She participates in this act, as if it were her own; she gives herself to all, together with Jesus; and at the same time, she becomes the depository of His Sacramental Life, receiving Him worthily within all communicants, and also on behalf of those who do not receive Him, just as Jesus received Himself within all souls. And all this, not because of her personal merits – oh, no; but because of the exuberant excess of love, inconceivable to a created mind, of the Divine Will dwelling in her.

Prodigies, wonders, excesses of love of Our Lord in instituting the Most Holy Sacrament, and in communicating Himself.

I was feeling all absorbed in the Most Holy Will of God, and blessed Jesus made present to me, as though in act, all the acts of His Life on earth. And since I had received Him sacramentally in my poor heart, He let me see, as though in act in His Most Holy Will, the moment in which my sweet Jesus, in instituting the Most Holy Sacrament, communicated Himself. How many wonders, how many prodigies, how many excesses of love in this act of communicating Himself. My mind wandered amid so many divine prodigies, and my always lovable Jesus told me: “Beloved daughter of my Supreme Volition, my Will contains everything, It preserves all of the divine works as though in act, and It lets nothing escape It; and to one who lives in It, It wants to make known all the goods It contains. Therefore, I want to make known to you the reason for which I wanted to receive Myself when I instituted the Most Holy Sacrament.

The prodigy was great and incomprehensible to the human mind. For the creature to receive a Man and God, to enclose the infinite in a finite being, and to give to this infinite Being divine honors, decorum and a dwelling worthy of Him – this mystery was so abstruse and incomprehensible, that the Apostles themselves, while they easily believed in the Incarnation and in many other mysteries, remained troubled before this one, and their intellects were reluctant to believe. And it took my repeated saying for them to surrender. So, what to do? I, who instituted it, was to take care of everything, since, when the creature would receive Me, the Divinity was not to lack honors, divine decorum and a dwelling worthy of God. Therefore, my daughter, as I instituted the Most Holy Sacrament, my Eternal Will, united to my human will, made present to Me all the hosts which were to receive the sacramental consecration until the end of centuries. And I looked at them, one by one; I consumed them, and I saw my Sacramental Life palpitating in each host, yearning to give Itself to creatures. In the name of the whole human family, my Humanity took on the commitment for all, and provided a dwelling within Itself to each host; and my Divinity, which was inseparable from Me, surrounded each sacramental host with divine honors, praises and blessings, to give worthy decorum to my Majesty. So, each sacramental host was deposited in Me, and contains the dwelling of my Humanity and the cortege of the honors of my Divinity; otherwise, how could I descend into the creature? And it was only because of this that I tolerated sacrileges, coldness, irreverences, ingratitudes, since, in receiving Myself, I secured my own decorum, the honors and the dwelling which befitted my very Person. Had I not received Myself, I could not have descended into creatures, and they would have lacked the way, the door, the means to receive Me.

This is my usual way in all my works: I do them once in order to give life to all the other times in which they are repeated, uniting them to the first act as if they were one single act. So, the power, the immensity, the all-seeingness of my Will made Me embrace all centuries; It made present to Me the communicants and all sacramental hosts; and I received Myself as many times, so that, through Myself, I might pass into each creature. Who has ever thought of so much love of mine? That in order to descend into the hearts of creatures, I was to receive Myself so as to secure the divine rights and be able to give them, not only Myself, but the very acts I did in receiving Myself, to dispose them and almost to give them the right to receive Me?”

I remained surprised, and as if I wanted to doubt, and Jesus added: “Why do you doubt? Is this not perhaps to operate as God? And this one single act of forming as many acts for as many as want to enjoy it, while it remains one single act - was it not the same for the act of the Incarnation, of my Life and of my Passion? I incarnated Myself only once, one was my Life, one my Passion; yet, this Incarnation, Life and Passion is for all and for each one, as if it were for one alone. So, they are still as though in act, and for each one, as if I were now incarnating Myself and now suffering my Passion. If it were not so, I would not be operating as God, but as creature, who, not containing a divine power, cannot let herself be possessed by all, or give herself to all.

Now, my daughter, I want to tell you of another excess of my love. One who does my Will and lives in It, comes to embrace the works of my Humanity, because I greatly yearn that the creature become similar to Me. And since my Will and hers are one, my Will takes pleasure in her, and, amusing Itself, It places all the good I contain into the creature, and I form in her the deposit of the very sacramental hosts. My Will, which she contains, lends her and surrounds her with divine decorum, homages and honors; and I entrust everything to her, because I am certain to keep my works in a safe place, since my Will becomes actor, spectator and custodian of all my goods, of my works and of my very Life.” (June 18, 1923 Volume 15)

O my sweet Love, in this hour You transubstantiated Yourself into bread and wine. Please, O Jesus, let all that I say and do be a continuous consecration of Yourself in me and in souls. Sweet Life of mine, when You come into me, let my every heartbeat, desire, affection, thought and word feel the power of the sacramental consecration, so that, being consecrated, all my little being may become as many hosts in order to give You to souls. O Jesus, sweet Love of mine, may I be your little host in order to enclose all of Yourself in me, like a living Host. (The Hours of the Passion – 4^th Hour, from Reflections and Practices)

During this decades, which takes the soul up to the unfathomable heights of Divine Love, though it does not conclude her luminous journey in the acts of the Divine Will, guided by Her Celestial Mother, the soul accompanies Jesus in His Eucharistic Life, with Its divine joys and Its unspeakable sorrows, through her acts of thanksgiving and of reparation. And so, bead after bead, (1)she takes part in the act of Jesus of instituting the Holy Eucharist, receiving the deposit of His Sacramental Life; (2)she participates in the act of Jesus of receiving Himself, so as to be able to receive Him, herself, within the worthy dwelling of His Humanity, and with the decorum and honor of His Divinity; (3)she does the same within each soul; (4)she requites Jesus in the name of all with His very Divine Love; (5)she repairs for all the offenses and sacrileges committed against the Most Holy Sacrament; (6)she prays that all may be disposed to receive Him; (7)she asks for the complete fruit of the Holy Sacrament for all; (8)she brings the whole of Creation around Jesus to adore Him; (9)she calls all Angels and Saints around Jesus to praise Him and glorify Him; (10)she renews and confirms her desire to live in perennial Communion with Him, in the Unity of the Divine Will.

I was thinking to myself: ‘I would like to always go around in His Divine Will; I would like to be like a wheel of the clock which always rotates, without ever stopping.’ But while I was thinking this, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, do you want to always go around in my Will? Oh! how gladly and with what love do I want you to go around, constantly, in my Will! Your soul will be the little wheel; my Will will wind you to make you rotate rapidly, without ever stopping; your intention will be the starting point of where you want to go. Whatever way you want to take – whether in the past or in the present, or whether you want to delight along future ways – it is your free choice; you will always be dear to Me, and you will give Me greatest delight, whatever the starting point you choose….” (August 14, 1924 Volume 17)

[1] Truly, only a suggestion, as a practical example of how to use the Holy Rosary to do one’s round in the acts of the Divine Will. The paths which each soul can choose are countless, and all of them immensely pleasing to Our Lord. (See August 14, 1924 Volume 17)
