"Your Faith Anew!"

November 9, 1902 – Volume 4 

Luisa writes,

While I was longing for my adorable Jesus, He came in the appearance He had when His enemies were slapping Him, covering His face with spit, and blindfolding Him. With admirable patience He suffered everything; even more, it seemed He would not even look at them, so much was He intent in His interior on looking at the fruit which those sufferings would produce.
 
 I admired everything with amazement, and Jesus told me: “My daughter, in My operating and suffering I never looked outside, but always inside; and whatever it might be, in seeing its fruit, I would not just suffer it, but I would suffer everything with yearning and avidity.
 
 On the other hand, completely opposite, man, in operating good, does not look inside the work, and not seeing its fruit, he becomes easily bored, everything bothers him, and many times he neglects doing good.
 
 If he suffers, he easily loses his patience; and if he does evil, not looking inside that evil, he does it with ease.”
 
 Then He added: “Creatures do not want to convince themselves that life must be accompanied by various circumstances, now of sufferings, now of consolation. Yet, even plants and flowers give them an example of this by remaining submitted to winds, snows, hail and heat.”

November 8, 1900 – Volume 4 

Luisa writes:

     Continuing with His usual delays in coming, I was feeling all the weight of His privation, when, all of a sudden, He came and, I don’t know why, He posed me this interrogative: “Would you be able to tell Me why obedience is so glorified, and receives such honor as to imprint the divine Image in the soul?” All confused, I did not know what to answer, but through an intellectual light which He sent to me, blessed Jesus answered Himself...
     He said: “Obedience is so glorified because she has the virtue of unveiling the human passions from their very roots. She destroys in the soul everything which is earthly and material, and to her great honor she gives back to the soul her original state — that is, the way she was created by God in her original justice, before being cast out of the terrestrial Eden. In this sublime state, the soul feels strongly drawn to everything that is good; she feels all that is holy and perfect as inborn within herself, and greatest horror at even the shadow of evil...obedience has the virtue of divinizing human nature and making it acquire the divine qualities. The more the soul lets herself be handled by this most experienced hand, the more of the divine she acquires, destroying her own being. This is why she is so glorified and honored; so much so, that I Myself submitted to her and was honored and glorified by this; and through her I gave back honor and glory to all My children, which they had lost because of disobedience.”

November 7, 1918 — Volume 12 

Luisa writes:

Finding myself in my usual state, I was saying to my sweet Jesus: “If You wanted me to leave my usual state, how is it possible that, after all this time, You don’t make me content?”
 
 And He told me: “Daughter, one who does My Will and lives in My Volition — and not for a short time, but for a period of her life — forms a prison for Me within her heart, completely and fully of My Will. Therefore, as she kept doing My Will and trying to live in My Volition, she raised the walls of this divine and celestial prison, and to My highest contentment, I remained imprisoned within it.
 
 And as she kept absorbing Me, I absorbed her within Me, in such a way as to form her imprisonment in Me. So, she has remained imprisoned in Me, and I in her. Then, when the soul wants something, I say to her: ‘You have always done My Will; it is right that sometimes I do yours.’ More so, since this soul lives from My Will, and therefore, what she wants can be a fruit, a desire, of My own Will which lives in her. Therefore, do not worry — when it is necessary, I will do your will.”

From The Book of Heaven  — 

November 6, 1899, Volume 3:

Jesus tells Luisa:

“Everything that is done for the sole purpose of pleasing Me shines before Me in such a way as to draw my divine gazes, and I like it so much, that to those actions, be they even a batting of eyelashes, I give the value as if they were done by Me.  On the other hand, those other actions, good in themselves and even great, but which are not done for Me alone, are like gold that is muddy and full of rust, which does not shine, and I do not so much as look at them.”

November 5, 1902 – Volume 4

Luisa writes:

This morning my adorable Jesus made Himself seen in my interior, and He seemed to have a tree planted in His Heart, and so rooted into It, that its roots arose from the center of His Heart. In sum, it seemed to be born together with It, with the same nature. I was amazed at seeing its beauty, strikingness and height, which seemed to touch the heavens; and its branches extended out to the farthest ends of the world. Now, on seeing me so amazed, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, this Tree was conceived together with Me, in the center of my Heart, and from that moment I felt in my inmost Heart all the good and the evil that man would do with this Tree of Redemption, called ‘Tree of Life’. In fact, all those souls who remain united to this Tree will receive the life of grace in time, and when the Tree has raised them well, It will administer to them the life of glory in eternity. Yet, what is not my sorrow? Even though they cannot root out the Tree, nor can they touch the trunk, many try to cut some branches so that souls may not receive life, and to take away from Me all the glory and the pleasure that this Tree of Life would have produced for Me.” While saying this, He disappeared.

November 4, 1899, Volume 3 

Luisa writes:
 “Since this morning blessed Jesus was not coming, the devil was trying to assume His shape and to make himself seen, but since I did not perceive the usual effects, I began to doubt and I signed myself with cross - first myself, and then him; and the devil, in seeing himself signed, was trembling.  Immediately I rejected him without even looking at him.  After a little while my dear Jesus came, and fearing that it might be the evil spirit once again, I tried to reject him, invoking the help of Jesus and of the Queen Mama.  But to assure me that it was not the devil, He told me:  “My daughter, in order to be assured of whether it is I or not, your attention must be on the interior effects, whether they move toward virtue or toward vice; in fact, since my Nature is virtue, I make my children heirs of nothing else but virtue.  You can also comprehend this from the human nature, which is made of flesh:  if it happens to develop some wounds, the flesh becomes rotten, and one can say that it is no longer flesh; in the same way, if my Nature could retain even the slightest shadow of vice within Itself, It would cease to be the God that It is - which can never happen.”

November 3, 1899, Volume 3 

Luisa writes:
 “This morning my lovable Jesus came and transported me outside of myself, inside a church; then He disappeared and I was left alone.
 
 Finding myself before the Most Holy Sacrament, I did my usual adoration, when I saw Him on the altar as a little child, calling me with His gracious hand.
 
 Who can say my contentment? I flew to Him, and without thinking of anything else, I clasped Him in my arms and kissed Him.
 But He assumed a serious appearance, showing that He did not like my kisses, and began to reject me.
 
 Heedless of this, I continued and said to Him: ‘My pretty little one, the other day You wanted to pour Yourself out with me, with kisses and hugs, and I gave You all the freedom. Today I too want to pour myself out with You—please, give me the freedom to do it.’
 
 But He continued to reject me, and seeing that I would not stop, He disappeared.
 Who can say how mortified and concerned I was left as I found myself inside myself?
 
 However, after a little while He came back, and as I wanted to ask Him for forgiveness for my impertinences, He forgave me by wanting to pour Himself out with me; and while kissing me, He told me:
 ‘Beloved of My Heart, My Divinity resides in you habitually, and just as you keep inventing new things to make Me delight with you, so I, to give you tit for tat, use new ways to make you delight with Me.’
 
 With this I understood that it had been a joke that Jesus wanted to make.”

11/2/1900 – Vol. 4
This morning I felt all oppressed and afflicted, with the addition that blessed
Jesus was not making Himself seen. Then, after much waiting, He came out
from within my interior, and opening His Heart to me, He placed me inside of It,
telling me: “Remain inside of Me - only there will you find true peace and stable
contentment, because nothing penetrates into Me which does not belong to peace and contentment. One who dwells in Me does nothing but swim in the sea of all contentments; while, by going outside of Me, even if the soul did not bother about anything, at the mere sight of the offenses they give Me...she comes to participate in those afflictions and remains troubled. Therefore, every once in a while, forget everything, enter into Me, and come to enjoy my peace and happiness. Then go out, and do for Me the office of my repairer.”

Book of Heaven - November 1, 1899, Volume 3 

“I saw a pillar whose top touched Heaven, and at the bottom were priests, bishops, cardinals, and all other dignities sustaining it. But many were weak, infirm, or covered with mud. The pillar swayed under their weight. At its top stood the Holy Father, who with golden chains and rays of light did all he could to sustain and bind the people below and illuminate the world. Then the priest at the altar said: ‘My daughter, see in what a heartrending state My Church is. Those who should sustain Her withdraw and knock Her down. The only remedy is that I cause much blood to be shed to wash away this rotten mud. Do you want to be victim — a prop to sustain this pillar in these incorrigible times?’”
