THE JOYFULMYSTERIES

1. The Annunciation (Humility)

Our Celestial Mother: "YourMama felt ignited with love, and echoingthe love of my Creator, I wanted to formone single sea of love, so that the Wordmight descend upon earth within it. Myprayers were incessant, and while I waspraying in my little room, an angel came,

sent from Heaven as messenger of thegreat King. He came before me, andbowing, he hailed me: "Hail, O Mary,our Queen; the Divine Fiat has filled youwith grace. He has already pronouncedHis Fiat, for He wants to descend; He isjust behind my shoulders, but He wantsyour Fiat to form the fulfillment of HisFiat."

At such a great announcement, somuch desired by me – although I hadnever thought I was to be the chosen one– I was stupefied and I hesitated oneinstant. But the angel of the Lord toldme: "Do not fear, our Queen, for youhave found grace before God. You haveconquered your Creator; therefore, to

complete the victory – pronounce yourFiat."

I pronounced my Fiat, and – oh,marvel! The two Fiats fused together andthe Divine Word descended into Me. MyFiat, receiving the same value as theDivine Fiat, from the seed of myhumanity, formed the tiny little humanitywhich was to enclose the Word, and sothe great prodigy of the Incarnation wasaccomplished." (From "The Virgin Maryin the Kingdom of the Divine Will"; Day19)

2. The Visitation (Charity)

Our Celestial Mother: "...So Ideparted from Nazareth, accompaniedby Saint Joseph, facing a long journey,and crossing mountains to go visitElisabeth in Judea, who, in her advancedage, had miraculously become a mother.

I went to her, not to make a simplevisit, but because I burned with thedesire to bring her Jesus. The fullness ofgrace, love and light which I felt in me,pushed me to bring, to multiply – toincrease a hundredfold the life of mySon in creatures.

Yes, my child, the love of Motherwhich I had for all men, and for you inparticular, was so great that I felt the

extreme need to give my dear Jesus toeveryone, that all might possess Him andlove Him. The right of Mother, given tome by the Fiat, enriched me with suchpower as to multiply Jesus as manytimes as there are creatures who want toreceive Him. This was the greatestmiracle I could perform: to have Jesusready to give to whomever desired Him.How happy I felt!

How I wish that you too, my child,in approaching and visiting people,would always be the bearer of Jesus,capable of making Him known, andyearning to make Him loved."

"Dearest child, the Divine Will

does great and unheard-of thingswherever It reigns. If I worked manyprodigies, it was because It had Its royalplace in me. If you let the Divine Willreign in your soul, you too will becomethe bearer of Jesus to the creatures – youtoo will feel the irresistible need to giveHim to all!" (From "The Virgin Mary inthe Kingdom of the Divine Will";Meditation 1, Appendix)

3. The Birth of Jesus (Love of God)

Luisa: "As I was in my usual state,I found myself outside of myself; afterwandering around, I found myself in acave, and I saw the Queen Mama giving

birth to Little Baby Jesus. What awonderful prodigy! It seemed that bothMother and Son were transformed intomost pure light. But in that light onecould see very clearly the human natureof Jesus containing the Divinity withinItself, and serving as a veil to cover theDivinity; in such a way that, in tearingthe veil of human nature, He was God,while covered by that veil, He was man.Here is the prodigy of prodigies: Godand Man, Man and God! Without leavingthe Father and the Holy Spirit - becausetrue love never separates - He comes tolive in our midst, taking on human flesh.Now, it seemed to me that Mother andSon, in that most happy instant, remainedas though spiritualized, and without the

slightest difficulty Jesus came out of theMaternal womb, while both of themoverflowed with excess of Love. Inother words: those Most Pure bodieswere transformed into light, and withoutthe slightest impediment, Light Jesuscame out of the Light of the Mother,while both One and the Other remainedwhole and intact, returning, then, to theirnatural state.

Who can tell of the beauty of theLittle Baby, who, in the moment of Hisbirth, transfused, also externally, the raysof the Divinity?" (From Vol. 4;December 25, 1900)

4. The Presentation and Consecrationof Jesus in the Temple (Obedience)

Our Celestial Mother: "Forty daysfrom the birth of little King Jesus areabout to sound - when the Divine Fiatcalls us to the temple in order to fulfillthe law of the Presentation of my Son.So, we went to the temple. It was thefirst time that we went out together withmy sweet baby. A vein of sorrow openedin my heart: I was going to offer Him asvictim for the salvation of all! Weentered the temple, and first we adoredthe Divine Majesty; then we called thepriest, and placing Him in his arms, Imade the offering of the celestial baby tothe eternal Father - offering Him in

sacrifice for the salvation of all. Thepriest was Simeon, and as I placed Himin his arms, he recognized that He wasthe Divine Word and exulted withimmense joy; and after the offering,assuming the attitude of prophet, heprophesied all my sorrows… Oh, howthe Supreme Fiat sounded over mymaternal heart - thoroughly, withvibrating sound, the cruel tragedy of allthe pains of my little Son! But that whichpierced me the most were the words thatthe holy prophet said to me: "This dearbaby will be the salvation and ruin ofmany, and will be the target ofcontradictions."

If the Divine Will had not

sustained me, I would have diedinstantly of pure pain. But It gave melife, and used it to form in me theKingdom of sorrows, within theKingdom of Its Will. Therefore, inaddition to the right of Mother which Ihad over all, I acquired the right ofMother and Queen of all Sorrows. Ah,yes, with my sorrows, I acquired thelittle coin to pay the debts of mychildren, and even those of the ungratefulchildren…

"Now, listen to your Mama: inyour sufferings, in the painful encounterswhich are not lacking for you, never loseheart; but with heroic love let the DivineWill assume Its royal place in your

pains, so that It may convert them intolittle coins of infinite value, with whichyou will be able to pay the debts of yourbrothers - to ransom them from theslavery of the human will, and makethem enter again, as free children, intothe Kingdom of the Divine Will." (From"The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of theDivine Will"; Day 23)

5. The Finding of Jesus in the Temple(Joy)

Our Celestial Mother: "…Afterthree days of most bitter sighs, tears,anxieties and fears, we entered thetemple. I was all eyes and looked

everywhere, when, finally, overcomewith jubilation, I saw my Son in themidst of the doctors of the law! He wasspeaking with such wisdom and majestyas to make those who were listeningremain enraptured and amazed. Only inseeing Him, I felt life come back to me,and soon I understood the secret reasonof His being lost.

And now, a little word to you,dearest child. In this mystery, my Sonwanted to give to me and to you, asublime teaching. Could you perhapsassume that He was ignoring what I wassuffering?

On the contrary, my tears, my

searching, and my cruel and intensesorrow, resounded in His heart. Yet,during those hours, so painful, Hesacrificed to the Divine Will, His ownMama, the one whom He loves so much,in order to show me how I too, one day,was to sacrifice His own Life to theDivine Will.

In this unspeakable pain, I did notforget you, my beloved one. Thinkingthat it would serve as an example foryou, I kept it at your disposal, so that youtoo, at the appropriate time, might havethe strength to sacrifice everything to theDivine Will. As Jesus finished speaking,we approached Him reverently, andaddressed Him with a sweet reproach:

"Son, why have you done this to us?"And He, with divine dignity, answeredus: "Why did you look for me? Did younot know that I came to the world toglorify my Father?" Havingcomprehended the high meaning of Hisanswer, and adored in it the Divine Will,we returned to Nazareth.

Child of my maternal heart, listen.When I lost my Jesus, the pain I felt wasso very intense; yet, a second one addedto this – that of losing you.

In fact, in foreseeing that youwould have gone far from the DivineWill, I felt at one time deprived of theSon and of the daughter, and so my

maternity suffered a double blow.

My child, when you are in the actof doing your own will rather than thatof God, think that by abandoning theDivine Fiat, you are about to lose Jesusand me, and fall into the kingdom ofmiseries and vices.

Keep then, the promise you mademe – to remain indissolubly united to me– and I will grant you the grace of neveragain letting you be dominated by yourwill, but only by the Divine." (From"The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of theDivine Will"; Meditation 5, Appendix)

THE LUMINOUSMYSTERIES

1.*The Baptism of Jesus in theJordan.*

The baptism administered by St. John theBaptist was a call for repentance andpurification, the sign of the desire of thesoul to be cleansed and to prepare theway and the space within herself for thegift of Redemption, the life of grace, themeans of Salvation, which the longed-

for Messiah, the Son of God made Man,would bring upon earth. TheSacramental Baptism instituted by Jesusfrees the soul of the stain of original sinand activates the gift of grace within her,making her a child of God. However, thelife of grace received through Baptismcan be rendered sterile by lack ofcorrespondence, or even suppressed bysin, since all Sacraments produce theireffects within the soul according to herdispositions. But when the Divine Willreigns in the soul as her very life,baptizing every fiber of her being, shecomes to possess the very source ofgrace, she lives of Divine Life; and thatvery Divine Will which has the power topurify, to baptize, to generate Divine

Life is her Will too.

2.*The Self-Manifestation of Jesus atthe Wedding of Cana.*

The gift of the Divine Will is thechoicest and most delicious wine, whichthe Master of the house, Our God andFather, keeps for last to the amazementand delight of His children, invited tothe wedding feast of the Lamb. It is thegreatest prodigy in Heaven and on earth,it is the miracle of miracles: the Sun ofthe Divine Will, transforming the humanwill into Sun, acts within it as in Its own

center. All the miracles which Jesusperformed during His public life aresimiles, shadows and images of thegreatest miracle of all - that of making acreature live in His Divine Will. Andjust as the first miracle, which Heperformed at Cana, was obtainedthrough Mary, so will the greatestmiracle of the Divine Will be giventhrough Her, who laid the foundation ofIts Kingdom within Her soul, and who,untiringly, guides Her children toward It.

3.*The Jesus' Proclamation of theKingdom of God.*

Because of original sin, Adam lost thegift of the Divine Will as his life, whichhe had received in creation, and couldno longer transmit it to the humangenerations. However, in His infinitelove for man, God promised theRedemption of mankind - not only fromthe slavery of sin, but from that of thehuman will; a complete Redemption (=restoration, restitution) - not only ofgrace, but of the Divine Will Itself as thelife of man: nothing less than therestoration of man's original state. Inorder to do this, He had to begin tomanifest His Will again, little by little,which had been rejected and forgottenby man; and He did so by means of the

word - first by communicating to Hisunruly children His laws and rulesthrough the prophets; and then, byannouncing the Gospel, the Good Newsof Redemption, through the Incarnationand the Sacrifice of the Word Himself,who is the revelation of the Father andof His Will to humanity. But Jesus hasnot stopped His preaching, nor can Hedo so until the purpose of His comingupon earth, the complete Redemption ofman, has been fulfilled. The Truths onthe living in the Divine Will - the wordsconcerning Its Kingdom on earth as it isin Heaven, which Jesus has manifestedthrough Luisa, and which, like thecreating Fiat, possess the virtue ofcommunicating the good which they

contain to those who, being disposed,want to receive them - brings about thefulfillment of Redemption, of the comingof the Word Incarnate upon earth: theestablishment and the confirmation of theKingdom of the Divine Will on earth asIt is in Heaven.

4.*Jesus' Transfiguration.*

Through the knowledges and truths onthe living in the Divine Will, Jesusmanifests His Divinity to the soul; Hemanifests how His Divine Will operatedwith His human will, He manifests the

interior life of the Incarnate Word, Hetransfigures Himself before her eyes -and not just to give her simple news, butto let her share in His very Divinity, totransform her and transfigure her withinHimself. And the soul who lives in HisWill is not frightened as were thedisciples in hearing the voice of theFather, she does not need to descendfrom the high mountain of the DivineWill, because the Divine Will dwellswithin her; she cannot keep quiet aboutthis manifestation, but will proclaim andeffuse the Divinity of Christ through eachof her acts; and the tent which sheprepares as permanent dwelling forJesus and the whole Celestial Court isher very being.

5.*Jesus' Institution of the HolyEucharist.*

Jesus left Himself in the Most HolySacrament of the Eucharist in order toprovide the soul with the divinenourishment of His very Life, having theultimate purpose of establishing aperennial Communion with her, as it wasmeant to be from the beginning ofCreation. The complete fruit of the HolyEucharist is the soul's becoming a livingHost herself - and not for brief momentsand through the sacramental veils of theaccidents of the bread; but always and

continuously, because of the Divine Willdwelling in her as Life, which is thevery source of the Sacraments. As thesoul fuses herself in the Divine Will andlives and operates in It, she finds,present and in act, the very act of Jesusof instituting the Holy Eucharist and ofcommunicating Himself to souls. Sheparticipates in this act, as if it were herown; she gives herself to all, togetherwith Jesus; and at the same time, shebecomes the depository of HisSacramental Life, receiving Himworthily within all communicants, andalso on behalf of those who do notreceive Him, just as Jesus receivedHimself within all souls. And all this,not because of her personal merits - oh,

no; but because of the exuberant excessof love, inconceivable to a created mind,of the Divine Will dwelling in her.

THE SORROWFULMYSTERIES

1. The Agony in the Garden (TrueRepentance)

I was thinking about the Passion ofmy always lovable Jesus, especially ofwhat He suffered in the Garden. I foundmyself all immersed in Jesus, and Hetold me: "My daughter, my first Passionwas of Love, because the first step withwhich man, in sinning, gives himself to

evil is the lack of Love; so, since Loveis missing, he falls into sin. In order tobe repaid through Me for the lack oflove of the creatures, Love made Mesuffer more than anyone; It almostcrushed Me, more than if I were under apress. It gave Me as many deaths for asmany creatures receiving life.

The second step that occurs in sinis defrauding God of His Glory. So, inorder to be repaid for the Glory takenaway by the creatures, the Father madeMe suffer the Passion of sin, such thateach sin gave Me a special Passion.Although there was one Passion, Isuffered for sin as many Passions asthere would be sins committed until the

end of the world. So, the Glory of theFather was restored.

The third effect produced by sin is theweakness in man. Therefore, I wanted tosuffer the Passion from the hands of theJews - my third Passion - to restore inman his lost strength.

Therefore, with the Passion ofLove, Love was restored and placed atthe right level; with the Passion of sin,the Glory of the Father was restored andplaced at Its level; with the Passion ofthe Jews, the strength of the creatureswas placed at its level and restored. Isuffered all this in the Garden, and thepain was so much, so many the deaths -

the atrocious spasms inflicted upon Methat I really would have died if the Willof the Father for my death had arrived."(From Vol. 11; January 22, 1913)

2. The Scourging at the Pillar (Purity)

Finding myself in my usual state, Iwas thinking about the Passion of OurLord; and while I was doing this, Hecame and told me: "My daughter, onewho meditates continuously on myPassion and feels sorrow for it andcompassion for Me, pleases Me so muchthat I feel somehow comforted for allthat I suffered in the course of myPassion; and by always meditating on it,

the soul arrives at preparing acontinuous food. In this food there aremany different spices and flavors, whichform different effects. Therefore, if inthe course of my Passion they gave meropes and chains to tie Me, the soulreleases Me and gives Me freedom.They despised Me, spat on Me, anddishonored Me; she appreciates Me,cleans Me of the spit, and honors Me.They stripped Me and scourged Me; sheheals Me and clothes Me. They crownedMe with thorns, mocking me as King,embittered my mouth with bile, andcrucified Me; while the soul, meditatingon all my pains, crowns Me with gloryand honors Me as her King, fills mymouth with sweetness, giving Me the

most delicious food, which is thememory of my own works; and unnailingMe from the Cross, she makes me riseagain in her heart. And every time shedoes so, I give her a new Life of Graceas recompense. She is my food, and Ibecome her continuous food. So, thething that pleases Me the most ismeditating continuously on my Passion."(From Vol. 7; November 9, 1906)

3. The Crowning with Thorns (MoralCourage)

Jesus: "My daughter, the painswhich I suffered were incomprehensibleto created mind. Much more painfully

than by those thorns, my mind waspierced by all the evil thoughts ofcreatures, in such a way that none ofthese thoughts could escape Me - I feltthem all inside Me. Not only did I feelthe pricks of the thorns, but also thedisgust of the sins which those thornsrepresented."

So, I looked at my lovable Jesusand I could see His Most Holy headbeing surrounded by spokes of thornswhich came through from behind. All thethoughts of the creatures were in Jesus;they went from Jesus to them, and fromthem into Jesus, remaining almost linkedtogether - the evil thoughts of thecreatures with the most holy thoughts of

Jesus... Oh, how Jesus suffered!

Then He added: "My daughter,only the souls who live in my Will cangive Me true reparations and soothe Mefrom thorns so sharp. In fact, since theylive in my Will, and since my Will iseverywhere, they find themselves in Meand in everyone; they descend into thecreatures and rise up to Me; they bringMe all the reparations; they soothe Me.And in the sick minds they turn darknessinto light." (From Vol. 11; April 24,1915)

4. The Carrying of the Cross(Patience)

Jesus: "Adored Cross, finally Iembrace you. You were the longing ofmy Heart, the martyrdom of my love. Butyou, O Cross, have delayed until now,while my steps were always toward you.Holy Cross, you were the goal of mydesires, the purpose of my existencedown here. In you I concentrate mywhole being, in you I place all mychildren, and you will be their life, theirlight, defense, custody and strength. Youwill assist them in everything, and willbring them gloriously to Me in Heaven.Oh Cross, Pulpit of Wisdom, you alonewill teach true sanctity; you alone willform the heroes, the athletes, the martyrs,the Saints. Beautiful Cross, you are my

Throne, and since I have to leave theearth, you will remain in my place. Toyou I give all souls as dowry – keepthem, save them; I entrust them to you!"(From "The Hours of the Passion"; 18thHour)

"Please, O Cross, receive Mesoon into your arms, I am impatient ofwaiting! Holy Cross, upon you I shallcome to give completion to all. Hurry, OCross, fulfill the burning desire thatconsumes Me, to give life to souls.Delay no more; I anxiously yearn to layMyself upon you in order to open theHeavens to all my children.

Oh Cross, it is true that you are my

martyrdom, but in a little while you willalso be my victory and my mostcomplete triumph; and through you I willgive abundant inheritances, victories,triumphs and crowns to my children."(From "The Hours of the Passion"; 19thHour)

5. The Crucifixion and Death of Jesuson the Cross (Final Perseverance)

Jesus: "Holy Father, here I am,loaded down with all the sins of theworld. There is not one sin which doesnot pour upon Me; therefore, no longerunload the scourges of your divineJustice upon man, but upon Me, your

Son. O Father, allow Me to bind allsouls to this Cross, and to pleadforgiveness for them with the voices ofmy Blood and of my wounds. O Father,do You not see how I have reducedMyself? By this Cross, by virtue of thesepains, concede true conversion, peace,forgiveness and sanctity to all. Arrestyour fury against poor humanity, againstmy children. They are blind, and knownot what they are doing. Look well atMe, how I have reduced Myself becauseof them; if you are not moved tocompassion for them, may You at leastbe softened by this Face of mine, dirtiedwith spit, covered with Blood, bruisedand swollen by the so many slaps andblows received. Have pity, my Father! I

was the most beautiful of all, and now Iam all disfigured, to the point that I nolonger recognize Myself. I have becomethe abject of all; and so, at any cost, Iwant to save the poor creature!"

"My Father, look at Me, from headto foot; there is not one part of Me whichis left whole, I do not know where elseto let them open more wounds and toprocure more sufferings. If You do notappease Yourself at this sight of loveand suffering, who will ever be able toappease You? O creatures, if you do notsurrender to so much Love, what hoperemains for you to convert? Thesewounds and Blood of Mine will bevoices that constantly call from Heaven

to earth, graces of repentance,forgiveness and compassion for you!"(From "The Hours of the Passion"; 19thHour)

THE GLORIOUSMYSTERIES

1. The Resurrection (Faith)

Jesus: "My daughter, in myResurrection, the right was given tocreatures to rise again in me to new life.It was the confirmation, the seal of mywhole life, my works and my words. If Icame on earth it was to give to each andevery one my Resurrection, as their own

- to give them life and make them riseagain in my own Resurrection.

But do you want to know where isthe real resurrection of the creature? Notin the end of her days, but while she isstill living on earth. One who lives in myWill rises again to light and says: ‘mynight is over.’ She rises again in the loveof her Creator, so that there is no morecold or snow for her, but the smile of theHeavenly Spring; she rises again tosanctity, which puts to rushed flight allweaknesses, miseries and passions; sherises again to all that is Heaven, and ifshe looks at the earth, Heaven and Sun,she does it to find the works of herCreator - to take the opportunity to

narrate to Him His glory and His longlove story.

Therefore, one who lives in myWill can say, as the Angel said to theholy women on the way to the sepulcher,‘He is risen. He is not here any more.’One who lives in my Will can also say,‘my will is not with me any longer - it isrisen again in the Fiat.’ And if thecircumstances of life, opportunities andsufferings surround the creature, as ifthey were looking for her will, she cananswer: ‘my will is risen again, it is notin my power anymore. I possess, inexchange, the Divine Will, and I want tocover with Its light all things around me- circumstances and sufferings, to make

them like many divine conquests.’ Thesoul who lives in our Will finds life inthe acts of her Jesus, and as always, inthis Life, she finds our operating,conquering, triumphant Will. She givesUs so much glory that Heaven cannotcontain it. Therefore, live always in ourWill - never leave It, if you want to beour triumph and our glory." (From Vol.36; April 20, 1938)

2. The Ascension (Hope)

Jesus: "Daughter of my Will, asyour Jesus said, in descending fromHeaven to earth: ‘I leave and I stay’;when He ascended into Heaven He said:

‘I stay and I leave.’ My word repeatsupon descending as Sacrament in thecreatures: ‘I leave and I remain in theTabernacles.’ In the same way, thecreature who lives in my Will can repeatmy word in all her acts. As soon as shebegins her act, her Jesus is formed inthat act. My Life has the virtue ofmultiplying Itself to infinity as manytimes as I want. Therefore, in all truth,she can say: ‘I leave and I stay. I leavefor Heaven to beatify It, to reach myhome and to make known to everyone mydear Jesus, Whom I enclosed in my actso that all may enjoy Him and love Him.I stay on earth, as my life, support anddefense for all my brothers and sisters.’How beautiful one act in my Will!"

(From Vol. 35; January 24, 1935)

3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit uponthe Apostles (Zeal)

Our Celestial Mother: "…Then thetime came for the descent of the HolySpirit, promised by my Son in thecenacle. What a transformation, mychild! As they were invested, theyacquired new science, invinciblestrength, ardent love. A new life flowedwithin them, which rendered them braveand courageous, in such a way that theyscattered throughout the whole world tomake Redemption known, and to givetheir lives for their Master. I remained

with beloved John, and was forced toleave Jerusalem, as the storm ofpersecution began.

My dearest child, you must knowthat I still continue my Magisterium inthe Church. There is nothing which doesnot descend from me. I can say that Ipour myself out for love of my children,and that I nourish them with my maternalmilk. Now, during these times, I want todisplay an even more special love bymaking known how my whole life wasformed in the Kingdom of the DivineWill. So I call you onto my knees, intomy maternal arms, so that, forming yourship, you may be sure to live in the seaof the Divine Will. Greater grace I could

not give you. I beg you, make your Mamacontent! Come to live in this Kingdom soholy! And when you see that your willwants to have an act of life, come andtake refuge in the safe boat of my arms,saying to me: "My Mama, my will wantsto betray me, and I deliver it to you, thatyou may put the Divine Will in itsplace."

Oh, how happy I will be, in beingable to say: "My child is all mine,because she lives from Divine Will."And I will make the Holy Spirit descendinto your soul, that He may burn awayfrom you all that is human; and by Hisrefreshing breath, He may rule over youand confirm you in the Divine Will.

(From "The Virgin Mary in the Kingdomof the Divine Will"; Day 30)

4. The Assumption of the BlessedVirgin Mary into Heaven (Grace of aHappy Death)

Jesus: "My daughter, the true nameof this Feast [of the Assumption] shouldbe ‘Feast of the Divine Will’. It was thehuman will that closed Heaven, brokethe bonds with its Creator, mademiseries and suffering enter the field,and put an end to the feast that thecreature was to enjoy in Heaven. Now,this Creature, Queen of all, by doing the

Will of the Eternal One, always and ineverything – even more, it can be saidthat Her life was Divine Will alone –opened the Heavens, bound Herself tothe Eternal One, and restored in Heaventhe feasts with the creature. Every actShe did in the Supreme Will, was a feastthat She started in Heaven; it was Sunsthat She formed to adorn this feast; itwas melodies that She sent to delight theCelestial Jerusalem.

Therefore, the true cause of thisfeast is the Eternal Will operating andfulfilled in my Celestial Mama. Itoperated such prodigies in Her as toastonish Heaven and earth, chain theEternal One with indissoluble bonds of

love, and enrapture the Word, even fromHer womb. The very Angels, enraptured,repeated among themselves: "Fromwhere comes so much glory, so muchhonor, such greatness and prodigiesnever seen before - in this excellingCreature? Yet, she is coming from theexile!" Astonished, they recognized theWill of their Creator as life operating inHer; and, trembling, they said: "Holy,Holy, Holy! Honor and glory to the Willof Our Sovereign Lord! And glory toMary, trice Holy, She who let thisSupreme Will operate!" (From Vol. 18;August 15, 1925)

5. The Coronation of the BlessedVirgin Mary, Our Mother, as Queen ofHeaven and Earth and Queen of theDivine Will.

Our Celestial Mother: "…As Igave my last breath of pure love in theendlessness of the Divine Will, my Sonreceived me in His arms and took me toHeaven, in the midst of the angelicchoirs which praised me as their Queen.I can say that Heaven emptied Itself tocome toward me. All celebrated, and inlooking at me, remained enraptured andsaid in chorus: "Who is She, who comesfrom the exile, all cleaving to her Lord?All beautiful, all holy, with the scepterof Queen? Her greatness is such that the

heavens have lowered themselves toreceive Her. No other creature hasentered the celestial regions so adornedand so striking - so powerful as to holdsupremacy over all."

Now, my child, do you want toknow who She is - for Whom the wholeof Heaven sings and remainsenraptured? It is I - She who never didher own will. The Divine Will aboundedso much with me as to extend morebeautiful heaven, more refulgent suns,seas of beauty, of love, of sanctity, withwhich I could give light to all, love andsanctity to all, and enclose everythingand everyone within my heaven. It wasthe work of the Divine Will operating in

me to accomplish such a great prodigy; Iwas the only creature entering Heaven,to have formed Its Kingdom in my soul."(From "The Virgin Mary in the Kingdomof the Divine Will"; Day 31)
