Q: Was Mary in the Divine Will from the first moment of Her conception, or did that come later when She passed the test, or were they simultaneous?.....P
A: Mary was in the Divine Will from the first moment of her conception. If you read the book ' 'The Blessed Virgin in the Divine Will" you will find many extraordinary gifts that were given to the Blessed Virgin at the moment of her conception. She was conceived immaculate, therefore never touched in any way by Original Sin, she was given reason and extraordinary knowledge and tested from that first moment as to whether she would surrender her will totally to the Divine Will at every moment of her life and won the victory in that test.....Fr. Hugh Thomas.
Q: I have been asked if I would be one of a new batch of extraordinary ministers in a large parish that I am close to. I know that the ideal is for ordinary ministers of communion to distribute the Eucharist in the first instance. I am just wondering if there is anything that you might highlight in the Divine Will that could shed some light on this issue? I would like to remain as respectful and reverent to our Lord in the Eucharist and this is why I am asking if being an extraordinary minister of communion is in keeping with the Divine Will?.....M
A: If the parish has asked you to be an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion and you are properly prepared it would not be against the Divine Will. These days there are not enough priests and deacons and help is required in the distribution of Holy Communion at Masses attended by a large number of people. Also these extraordinary ministers do a great service in bringing Holy Communion to sick people in hospitals and in their homes when the priest is unable to do this. It could definitely be the Divine Will to accept such a ministry where it is clearly needed. One would hope the parish gives a proper preparation for this ministry and that it is carried out with great reverence and awareness of the tremendous dignity it is to carry the Body of Christ to His members....Fr. Hugh Thomas.
Q: I have trouble with the acts and rounds. When I am going about my day doing housework etc. I have been told to ask God to join me. How do I do this?
Rounds seem even more complicated. Is there a resource that explains plainly how this is done? ....A
A: As Regards the ROUNDS and ACTS: When Jesus gave us Creation, Redemption and Sanctification, He did so out of love. When we thank Him and give Him love back again for Creation, Redemption and Sanctification, our love goes back aROUND to Him, so ours and Jesus' love goes ROUND and ROUND to each other....this is essentially what makes a ROUND. Luisa placed great importance on ROUNDS. The very act of giving Jesus love for something is both an Actual Act and forms a ROUND. So when we do our normal day's work when offering them in the Divine Will, these are ACTUAL Acts. The PREVENIENT Act each morning is the equivalent of what we know as the Morning Offering but in the Divine Will we are divinizing it and all acts for that day are then Perfect, Infinite and Eternal. So just ask Jesus to come and do the washing, cooking, sweeping, dropping the kids to school with you and these are Acts in the Divine Will...you only need to desire it. In the VIDEOS and RESOURCES section of this website, there are several videos for you to view.
Q: My question is : In the book of Heaven from Volume 11 onwards Divine Lives is mentioned, could you explain what is meant by Divine Lives please?.....L.
A: The short answer to what are Divine Lives, is that there are two "types" of Divine Lives so to speak. Firstly those that each act done by a soul living in the Divine Will creates another Jesus, for as many acts as are done, giving each of those acts the Divine Life of Jesus Himself, similar to that in each host that is consecrated there is another Jesus for as many hosts that are consecrated.
Secondly there is the divine version of our own lives that are our lives Divinized by Jesus during His life and Passion on earth. Because Jesus re-did each and every act that we will do during our lives, they have been made Divine, therefore they are our Divine Lives.
Jesus then placed them in suspension waiting for the day when we would call them down in the Divine Will. EG: If we sleep, eat, read etc., "in the Divine Will " now in 2021, we are calling down the same acts of sleeping, eating and reading that Jesus made Divine 2000 years ago. As Jesus did this for all mankind from Adam to the last soul created, each human being has a Divine Version of their Life just waiting to be lived in "the Divine Will.".......Paul M.

The gift of living in the Divine Will in the writings of Luisa Piccarreta
page 39-40
God created man in such a way that all of his acts were to be patterned after that of his creator who constituted his Divine Will the principle of human activity. Adam, in turn, was to allow God’s " generating virtue "- that eternally generates the Son of God - to continuously operate in all of his human actions ,thereby transforming them into " divine acts ". By this means ,God empowered Adam to continuously generate " divine lives " of God's own sanctity ,love, beauty, power and wisdom. Jesus relates to Luisa:

Q:In the section on your website on the Virgin Mary you say "In other words : We can re-do all of Mary's own acts ourselves in the Divine Will " Why would anyone do this, that is re-do Mary's perfect acts since The Blessed Virgin Mary lacked nothing before God.....A.
A: When we say that we can re-do each of Mary's acts, we are not re-doing them to make them better, as you say, this is impossible. Mary's original acts (as were Jesus') were perfect, that is: :"unable to be improved" as they were done in the Divine Will. Re-doing Mary's acts, in the context of the Divine Will, means to simply re- do her same, perfect, infinite and eternal act again to give to God.
Such is the power of the Gift of living in Divine Will.
The passage in the website, you refer to regarding this, (Volume 23 Dec 1 1927) shows that Jesus wants the "retinue" ( accompaniment or re-doing ) of our acts as creatures to Mary's acts as Mother and be given to Him to give Him the love that the original acts did.
We can say this because although Mary is so far above us as a creature, all acts done in the Divine Will, both hers and ours are Perfect, Infinite and Eternal, as there can be no levels or degrees of Perfection, Infinity or Eternality. If an act is perfect it cannot be bettered no matter who does it. On the human level, of course, this does not apply.
So in summary, the reason Jesus asks us to re-do Mary's (and His) is to re-give Him, for all eternity, all the love the original acts gave him, not to try and better them as this would be impossible……Paul M.
