..... And So It Begins !
So how do we move from just DOING God's Will to LIVING IN God's Will?
Jesus tells us through Luisa that there are no doors or keys or paths......we simply have to be in the state of Grace and ....desire it.
Pretty simple when you think of it, remembering that Jesus said to Luisa that: "....In My Will things are simple, easy and
immense " (Vol 11 October 2; 1913)
In realistic, everyday terms, Jesus tells us through Luisa, that we can transform the value of all that we do from Human to Divine, by saying an act of Fiat (I desire) as simple as something like:
"Jesus I desire that all my (thoughts, words, prayers and acts) this day are done in your Divine Will in the name of all mankind."
In Divine Will language this is called the Prevenient Act.... You may know it in the human version as The Morning Offering. However the Morning Offering as we know it, is only on the Human level and applies only to us........
Jesus tells us that in the Prevenient Act all your (thoughts, words, prayers and acts) for that day immediately take on the same values as Jesus doing it Himself.
They become PERFECT, INFINITE and ETERNAL.
We will go into this and what is called the Actual Act later in this Divine Will work.
Jesus told Luisa that when we do acts in the Divine Will now, He actually felt them Himself, 2000 years ago, when he was on Earth. In the Divine Will, if we desire to minister to Him by spiritually wiping His face as Veronica did, Jesus tells us that He actually felt these acts 2000 years ago when carrying His cross to Calvary. If we desire to lift His cross in the Divine Will by an act of kindness to others, He felt it lighten on His back 2000 years ago. All this is possible because our acts in the Divine Will are PERFECT, INFINITE and ETERNAL and being Eternal are Trans-Temporal, that is: not subject to time and space.
HOLY MASS in the Divine Will.
So Let us transform some of what we already do in the Human Will
into the Divine Will.
into the Divine Will.
Because Divine Will acts are not subject to Time and Space, Jesus tells us that He ACTUALLY felt you there.....20 centuries ago.....before you were even conceived.......standing there looking up at Him. So standing at the foot of His cross, tell Him ...
"I am sorry I did this to You."
When you place yourself in the Divine Will and in the name of all mankind, Jesus tells us He felt, not only you, but all mankind from Adam to the last man, standing below Him on that rocky summit.....because all acts done in His Divine Will are INFINITE.
As all Divine Will acts are actually being done by Jesus, God the Father receives the sacrifice of His Son, multiplied by the total number of souls ever created and still to be created.
Such is the power of attending Holy Mass in the Divine Will ......in the name of all mankind.
THE HOLY ROSARY in the Divine Will.
In keeping with what we now know about the Trans-Temporal power of Divine Will acts, imagine your soul actually being there comforting Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane during His Agony in the Garden, or being there with Mary in her little house in Nazareth when the angel Gabriel appeared for The Annunciation, or in the stable in Bethlehem at the Birth of Jesus on that first Christmas Day....or any one of the other Mysteries of the Rosary..........what an incredible gift, is this greatest Gift of Living in the Divine Will.
So when you next pray the Rosary, place yourself .....in the Divine Will in the name of all mankind ......and all souls ever created from Adam to the last soul to be created is saying the Rosary to Jesus through Mary.....through you !
When you say 53 times during the Rosary ...."pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen"....all souls ever created, past, present and future are asking Mary to pray for you at the hour of your death.
As all Divine Will acts are actually being done by Jesus, Our Lady is actually receiving each Rosary from her Son, to give to her Son, multiplied by the number of souls ever created and still to be created.
Such is the power of the Rosary in the Divine Will ...in the name of all mankind.

Such is the power of the Rosary in the Divine Will ...in the name of all mankind.
There is NO PURGATORY in the Divine Will.
We already know the extreme suffering that souls undergo while being purified in Purgatory before going to Heaven. Souls in Purgatory have the loving consolation of knowing that one day they will be in Heaven with God for all eternity, whilst those in Hell suffer excruciating eternal despair.
Such is the power of Purification in the Divine Will.
Such is the power of Purification in the Divine Will.
Such is the power of Penance and Sacrifice in the Divine Will.
We already know each Mass is not a new sacrifice of Jesus to His Father, but the un-bloody continuation of the original sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary over 20 centuries ago.
Now you will need to take a Leap of Faith:
With this in mind you must know that Jesus tells us when we attend Holy Mass in the Divine Will, it is not subject to TIME and SPACE, so we can bi-locate (move) our souls to ACTUALLY BE on the summit of Mt Calvary 2000 years ago.
Now that's a staggering thought that Jesus has given us and remember that 3 independent groups of Vatican theologians, during Luisa's Canonisation process, have all found no errors of Faith in what Luisa has said Jesus told her.
So your soul is now there actually standing on the rocky summit of Calvary....looking up at your brother Jesus suffering on the cross...looking down on you, standing beside Mary His mother, St. John and Mary Magdalene. It's a cold day and the crowds and soldiers are all milling about, shouting at Him.....just waiting for Him to die so they can go home.

Jesus told Luisa that for souls who live and die in His Divine Will "there is No Purgatory." Souls who live and die in the Divine Will go immediately to Heaven because what death was supposed to do, His Will has already done. He has nothing to judge them for. Death for Divine Will souls is simply, when they least expect it, closing their eyes and "laying down" their earthly rags (remains) and waking in Heaven dressed in the garment of the Divine Will.

(Vol 5 July 3, 1903) and (Vol 11 Mar 8, 1914)
Our Blessed Mother Mary has told us that penance can be accepting our everyday crosses with good grace.
By aligning our own small crosses in the Divine Will, with acts done, by and to, Jesus during His life, we are using the "microphone" of the Divine Will to amplify them to the PERFECT, INFINITE and ETERNAL scale.
So are we willing to go that extra mile, to give God the love and glory on His own scale that He has been robbed of, for so many centuries since the fall of Adam and Eve?
By doing this we are, in fact, re-doing Jesus’ own life giving Him the glory of His own acts over and over in the name of all mankind from Adam to the last created soul.

We can, of course even re-do Mary’s life in the Divine Will as well as those of all mankind.
If we are doing the SWEEPING.....Offer it to Jesus .......in the Divine Will..... as Mary's sweeping her little house in Nazareth.
If we are doing the COOKING ......Offer it to Jesus .......in the Divine Will....
as Mary's cooking for Jesus and the Apostles.

HOLY COMMUNION in the Divine Will.
Jesus told Luisa that during His life on earth He spent all 34 years (including His time in Mary's womb) re-doing all of mankind's lives transforming them into DIVINE LIVES.
These Divine Lives are the Divine versions of our lives (as we would have lived them had Adam not lost the Gift of the Divine Will) and so, are PERFECT, INFINITE AND ETERNAL, so when we receive each Holy Communion, as with all our other thoughts words and acts they are Trans-Temporal.
We can, therefore, be in the Last Supper room with Jesus and the Apostles when He said the first Mass and instituted the first Holy Communion.
Jesus tells us that He put Luisa in the place of honour between Himself and John the apostle.....clearly showing the love and esteem He has for Luisa. (Volume 13, October 9, 1921)
Luisa tells us that Jesus loves souls living in the Divine Will more than the Blessed Sacrament host itself, which at first glance might seem a heresy. However Jesus goes on to explain that His true Presence only stays veiled within the host for about 15 minutes until it is digested, but He stays with souls living in the Divine Will all the time and so He loves these "Living Hosts" more. Hosts made of bread containing His presence can't love Him........ but we, as hosts living fused with him IN the Divine Will, can. (Vol 11 December 17; 1914)
Such is the Joy of Holy Communion in the Divine Will.

Jesus tells us that we should use His humanity as our own to follow in His Divine Will to imitate Him.....so.
If we suffer a Cramp, offer it to Jesus in the Divine Will in remembrance of how His legs felt on the cross and to give Him relief.
If we experience a Headache, offer it in the Divine Will to re-do how His head felt with the Crown of Thorns piercing it and so give Him relief.
Our Thirst offered for Jesus’s …….“I thirst” (for souls).
Our Disappointment for His disappointment, that he suffered His Passion and still souls don’t love Him and will be lost.

OUR PLACE IN HEAVEN in the Divine Will.
Because our immortal souls consist of our MEMORY, INTELLECT and WILL, we still retain all 3 in Heaven. Every soul in Heaven lives in the Divine Will by virtue of their human will. The human will desires the Divine Will constantly or Heaven wouldn’t be Heaven for God, as He wants our love on His Divine scale.
So in Heaven we will be completely full of happiness......... but some souls will be full as say a THIMBLE, others full as a CUP and others as full as the VASTNESS OF THE OCEAN. The fullness of our happiness depends on our holiness at the time of our death.
Jesus told Luisa, that as the soul enters Heaven, (having not had to suffer in Purgatory first) she is adorned with the "suns" of her acts done in the Divine Will during her life, and that these souls hold the highest places in Heaven.
Truly these are the souls whose happiness is as "full as a Vast Ocean ".
Just as there are the 9 Choirs of Angels in Heaven, so also are there levels of Souls. Divine Will Souls being the closest to God Himself.
Such is the Joy of our Heavenly Lives in the Divine Will.
Jesus tells us through Luisa, the more a soul advances in holiness, the higher their position will be in Heaven.
PENANCE and SUFFERING in the Divine Will.
Our Loneliness for His loneliness in the dungeon before His crucifixion and being deserted in the Garden of Gethsemane
….and so many more ordinary things in our lives that we waste by not putting them into the Divine Will with a simple “Jesus I offer You this…….in Your Divine Will in the name of all mankind from Adam to the last soul.”
….and so many more ordinary things in our lives that we waste by not putting them into the Divine Will with a simple “Jesus I offer You this…….in Your Divine Will in the name of all mankind from Adam to the last soul.”
And so with all the rest, especially when we PRAY....offer it to Jesus....in His Divine Will .....as HIS prayer.
Nothing is too small to be made PERFECT, INFINITE AND ETERNAL !
Nothing is too small to be made PERFECT, INFINITE AND ETERNAL !
The most beautiful, inspiring and encouraging image of Heaven

Jesus tells us that one of the many graces of doing things in the Divine Will is that being Divine, they have the ability to be Trans-Temporal. This means, that because they are Divine and not human, they are not subject to TIME and SPACE.
In each Mass the Priest gives birth to Divine life, with and for the Community. We are most fully 'like Gods' (cf. Ps. 82: 6; Jn. 10: 34-35) only when we share in God's capacity to create Divine life; this is Eternal Life.
God’s capacity to create Divine Life is the very thing that defines Him as God, there is nothing beyond this. Eternal life is ‘life to the full’ (Jn. 10: 10). Of course, we are in a post-lapsarian state (i.e., post original sin state). From the beginning it was meant to be another way. Those who know of Luisa and of living in the Divine Will know that there is another way to give birth to Divine life. Humanity was always going to share in God's capacity to create both human and Divine Life. Only within the teachings of Luisa Piccarreta do we find out how."

Fr. Dominic Byrne
"God has always wanted us to share in his Divine nature. The fundamental action of His nature is His capacity to create, not just human life, (but) primarily to create Divine Life. God's true likeness is discovered in His loving nature and creative nature. God has wanted us to share in this nature to the full. He has always wanted us to share in his love and His ability to create. We have the ability to create but this was never meant to be limited to creating human life.
"Living in the Divine Will can make you present when people were dying last year or 1000 years ago, so that you can be there to support them with your prayers.
Living in the Divine Will takes away TIME and makes everything PRESENT in God."
( Divine Will acts are not subject to Time and Space.)

Be faithful and attentive as if everything depended on you.
Be completely abandoned and at peace as if everything depended on God.

Dear Newcomer to the Divine Will.
If you have just started enquiring into living in the Divine Will, as in any journey, yours has just begun with this, your first step.
If you are already aware of Luisa and her writings, we hope this work will give you added insight for reflection.

Luisa said: ".....it happens as to a man who has to leave a house and move to another .....first he sends all of his things and everything he possesses and then he goes himself. In the same way, we first send our works to take a place for us in Heaven and then, when our time comes, we go ourselves."
Send your Divine Will acts to Heaven....before You go .
