Will 1. THE JOYFULMYSTERIES

1. The Annunciation (Humility)

Our Celestial Mother: "YourMama felt ignited with love, andechoing the love of my Creator, Iwanted to form one single sea oflove, so that the Word mightdescend upon earth within it. Myprayers were incessant, and while Iwas praying in my little room, anangel came, sent from Heaven asmessenger of the great King. Hecame before me, and bowing, hehailed me: "Hail, O Mary, ourQueen; the Divine Fiat has filled youwith grace. He has alreadypronounced His Fiat, for He wants to

descend; He is just behind myshoulders, but He wants your Fiat toform the fulfillment of His Fiat."

At such a great announcement,so much desired by me – although Ihad never thought I was to be thechosen one – I was stupefied and Ihesitated one instant. But the angelof the Lord told me: "Do not fear,our Queen, for you have found gracebefore God. You have conqueredyour Creator; therefore, to completethe victory – pronounce your Fiat."

I pronounced my Fiat, and –oh, marvel! The two Fiats fusedtogether and the Divine Worddescended into Me. My Fiat,

receiving the same value as theDivine Fiat, from the seed of myhumanity, formed the tiny littlehumanity which was to enclose theWord, and so the great prodigy ofthe Incarnation was accomplished."(From "The Virgin Mary in theKingdom of the Divine Will"; Day 19) 2. The Visitation (Charity)

Our Celestial Mother: "...So Ideparted from Nazareth,accompanied by Saint Joseph,facing a long journey, and crossingmountains to go visit Elisabeth inJudea, who, in her advanced age,had miraculously become a mother.

I went to her, not to make asimple visit, but because I burnedwith the desire to bring her Jesus.The fullness of grace, love and lightwhich I felt in me, pushed me tobring, to multiply – to increase ahundredfold the life of my Son increatures.

Yes, my child, the love ofMother which I had for all men, andfor you in particular, was so greatthat I felt the extreme need to givemy dear Jesus to everyone, that allmight possess Him and love Him.The right of Mother, given to me bythe Fiat, enriched me with suchpower as to multiply Jesus as many

times as there are creatures whowant to receive Him. This was thegreatest miracle I could perform: tohave Jesus ready to give towhomever desired Him. How happy Ifelt!

How I wish that you too, mychild, in approaching and visitingpeople, would always be the bearerof Jesus, capable of making Himknown, and yearning to make Himloved."

"Dearest child, the Divine Willdoes great and unheard-of thingswherever It reigns. If I worked manyprodigies, it was because It had Itsroyal place in me. If you let the

Divine Will reign in your soul, you toowill become the bearer of Jesus tothe creatures – you too will feel theirresistible need to give Him to all!"(From "The Virgin Mary in theKingdom of the Divine Will";Meditation 1, Appendix) 3. The Birth of Jesus (Love ofGod)

Luisa: "As I was in my usualstate, I found myself outside ofmyself; after wandering around, Ifound myself in a cave, and I sawthe Queen Mama giving birth to LittleBaby Jesus. What a wonderfulprodigy! It seemed that both Mother

and Son were transformed into mostpure light. But in that light one couldsee very clearly the human nature ofJesus containing the Divinity withinItself, and serving as a veil to coverthe Divinity; in such a way that, intearing the veil of human nature, Hewas God, while covered by that veil,He was man. Here is the prodigy ofprodigies: God and Man, Man andGod! Without leaving the Father andthe Holy Spirit - because true lovenever separates - He comes to livein our midst, taking on human flesh.Now, it seemed to me that Motherand Son, in that most happy instant,remained as though spiritualized,

and without the slightest difficultyJesus came out of the Maternalwomb, while both of themoverflowed with excess of Love. Inother words: those Most Purebodies were transformed into light,and without the slightest impediment,Light Jesus came out of the Light ofthe Mother, while both One and theOther remained whole and intact,returning, then, to their natural state.

Who can tell of the beauty ofthe Little Baby, who, in the momentof His birth, transfused, alsoexternally, the rays of the Divinity?"(From Vol. 4; December 25, 1900)

4. The Presentation andConsecration of Jesus in theTemple (Obedience)

Our Celestial Mother: "Fortydays from the birth of little KingJesus are about to sound - when theDivine Fiat calls us to the temple inorder to fulfill the law of thePresentation of my Son. So, wewent to the temple. It was the firsttime that we went out together withmy sweet baby. A vein of sorrowopened in my heart: I was going tooffer Him as victim for the salvationof all! We entered the temple, andfirst we adored the Divine Majesty;then we called the priest, and

placing Him in his arms, I made theoffering of the celestial baby to theeternal Father - offering Him insacrifice for the salvation of all. Thepriest was Simeon, and as I placedHim in his arms, he recognized thatHe was the Divine Word and exultedwith immense joy; and after theoffering, assuming the attitude ofprophet, he prophesied all mysorrows… Oh, how the SupremeFiat sounded over my maternal heart- thoroughly, with vibrating sound,the cruel tragedy of all the pains ofmy little Son! But that which piercedme the most were the words thatthe holy prophet said to me: "This

dear baby will be the salvation andruin of many, and will be the targetof contradictions."

If the Divine Will had notsustained 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 whichI had over all, I acquired the right ofMother and Queen of all Sorrows.Ah, yes, with my sorrows, I acquiredthe little coin to pay the debts of mychildren, and even those of theungrateful children…

"Now, listen to your Mama: in

your sufferings, in the painfulencounters which are not lacking foryou, never lose heart; but with heroiclove let the Divine Will assume Itsroyal place in your pains, so that Itmay convert them into little coins ofinfinite value, with which you will beable to pay the debts of yourbrothers - to ransom them from theslavery of the human will, and makethem enter again, as free children,into the Kingdom of the Divine Will."(From "The Virgin Mary in theKingdom of the Divine Will"; Day 23) 5. The Finding of Jesus in theTemple (Joy)

Our Celestial Mother: "…Afterthree days of most bitter sighs,tears, anxieties and fears, weentered the temple. I was all eyesand looked everywhere, when,finally, overcome with jubilation, Isaw my Son in the midst of thedoctors of the law! He was speakingwith such wisdom and majesty as tomake those who were listeningremain enraptured and amazed.Only in seeing Him, I felt life comeback to me, and soon I understoodthe secret reason of His being lost.

And now, a little word to you,dearest child. In this mystery, mySon wanted to give to me and to

you, a sublime teaching. Could youperhaps assume that He wasignoring what I was suffering?

On the contrary, my tears, mysearching, 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 somuch, in order to show me how Itoo, one day, was to sacrifice Hisown Life to the Divine Will.

In this unspeakable pain, I didnot forget you, my beloved one.Thinking that it would serve as anexample for you, I kept it at yourdisposal, so that you too, at the

appropriate time, might have thestrength to sacrifice everything tothe Divine Will. As Jesus finishedspeaking, we approached Himreverently, and addressed Him witha sweet reproach: "Son, why haveyou done this to us?" And He, withdivine dignity, answered us: "Whydid you look for me? Did you notknow that I came to the world toglorify my Father?" Havingcomprehended the high meaning ofHis answer, and adored in it theDivine Will, we returned to Nazareth.

Child of my maternal heart,listen. When I lost my Jesus, thepain I felt was so very intense; yet, a

second one added to this – that oflosing 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 mymaternity suffered a double blow.

My child, when you are in theact of doing your own will rather thanthat of God, think that byabandoning the Divine Fiat, you areabout to lose Jesus and me, and fallinto the kingdom of miseries andvices.

Keep then, the promise youmade me – to remain indissolublyunited to me – and I will grant you

the grace of never again letting yoube dominated by your will, but onlyby the Divine." (From "The VirginMary in the Kingdom of the DivineWill"; Meditation 5, Appendix)

THELUMINOUSMYSTERIES

1.*The Baptism of Jesus in theJordan.* The baptism administered by St.John the Baptist was a call forrepentance and purification, the signof the desire of the soul to be

cleansed and to prepare the wayand the space within herself for thegift of Redemption, the life of grace,the means of Salvation, which thelonged-for Messiah, the Son of Godmade Man, would bring upon earth.The Sacramental Baptism institutedby Jesus frees the soul of the stainof original sin and activates the giftof grace within her, making her achild of God. However, the life ofgrace received through Baptism canbe rendered sterile by lack ofcorrespondence, or evensuppressed by sin, since allSacraments produce their effectswithin the soul according to her

dispositions. But when the Divine Willreigns in the soul as her very life,baptizing every fiber of her being,she comes to possess the verysource of grace, she lives of DivineLife; and that very Divine Will whichhas the power to purify, to baptize,to generate Divine Life is her Willtoo. 2.*The Self-Manifestation ofJesus at the Wedding of Cana.* The gift of the Divine Will is thechoicest and most delicious wine,which the Master of the house, OurGod and Father, keeps for last tothe amazement and delight of His

children, invited to the wedding feastof the Lamb. It is the greatestprodigy in Heaven and on earth, it isthe miracle of miracles: the Sun ofthe Divine Will, transforming thehuman will into Sun, acts within it asin Its own center. All the miracleswhich Jesus performed during Hispublic life are similes, shadows andimages of the greatest miracle of all- that of making a creature live in HisDivine Will. And just as the firstmiracle, which He performed atCana, was obtained through Mary,so will the greatest miracle of theDivine Will be given through Her,who laid the foundation of Its

Kingdom within Her soul, and who,untiringly, guides Her children towardIt. 3.*The Jesus' Proclamation of theKingdom of God.* 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 wordsconcerning Its Kingdom on earth asit is in Heaven, which Jesus hasmanifested through Luisa, andwhich, like the creating Fiat, possessthe virtue of communicating the goodwhich they contain to those who,being disposed, want to receivethem - brings about the fulfillment ofRedemption, of the coming of theWord Incarnate upon earth: theestablishment and the confirmationof the Kingdom of the Divine Will on

earth as It is in Heaven. 4.*Jesus' Transfiguration.* Through the knowledges and truthson the living in the Divine Will, Jesusmanifests His Divinity to the soul; Hemanifests how His Divine Willoperated with His human will, Hemanifests the interior life of theIncarnate Word, He transfiguresHimself before her eyes - and notjust to give her simple news, but tolet her share in His very Divinity, totransform her and transfigure herwithin Himself. And the soul wholives in His Will is not frightened aswere the disciples in hearing the

voice of the Father, she does notneed to descend from the highmountain of the Divine Will, becausethe Divine Will dwells within her; shecannot keep quiet about thismanifestation, but will proclaim andeffuse the Divinity of Christ througheach of her acts; and the tent whichshe prepares as permanent dwellingfor Jesus and the whole CelestialCourt is her very being. 5.*Jesus' Institution of the HolyEucharist.* Jesus left Himself in the Most HolySacrament of the Eucharist in orderto provide the soul with the divine

nourishment of His very Life, havingthe ultimate purpose of establishinga perennial Communion with her, asit was meant to be from thebeginning of Creation. The completefruit of the Holy Eucharist is thesoul's becoming a living Host herself- and not for brief moments andthrough the sacramental veils of theaccidents of the bread; but alwaysand continuously, because of theDivine Will dwelling in her as Life,which is the very source of theSacraments. As the soul fusesherself in the Divine Will and livesand operates in It, she finds, presentand in act, the very act of Jesus of

instituting the Holy Eucharist and ofcommunicating Himself to souls. Sheparticipates in this act, as if it wereher own; she gives herself to all,together with Jesus; and at thesame time, she becomes thedepository of His Sacramental Life,receiving Him worthily within allcommunicants, and also on behalf ofthose who do not receive Him, justas Jesus received Himself within allsouls. And all this, not because ofher personal merits - oh, no; butbecause of the exuberant excess oflove, inconceivable to a createdmind, of the Divine Will dwelling inher.

THESORROWFULMYSTERIES

1. The Agony in the Garden (TrueRepentance)

I was thinking about thePassion of my always lovable Jesus,especially of what He suffered in theGarden. I found myself all immersedin Jesus, and He told me: "Mydaughter, my first Passion was ofLove, because the first step withwhich man, in sinning, gives himselfto evil is the lack of Love; so, sinceLove is missing, he falls into sin. In

order to be repaid through Me forthe lack of love of the creatures,Love made Me suffer more thananyone; It almost crushed Me, morethan if I were under a press. It gaveMe as many deaths for as manycreatures receiving life.

The second step that occurs insin is defrauding God of His Glory.So, in order to be repaid for theGlory taken away by the creatures,the Father made Me suffer thePassion of sin, such that each singave Me a special Passion. Althoughthere was one Passion, I sufferedfor sin as many Passions as therewould be sins committed until the

end of the world. So, the Glory ofthe Father was restored.The third effect produced by sin isthe weakness in man. Therefore, Iwanted to suffer the Passion fromthe hands of the Jews - my thirdPassion - to restore in man his loststrength.

Therefore, with the Passion ofLove, Love was restored and placedat the right level; with the Passion ofsin, the Glory of the Father wasrestored and placed at Its level; withthe Passion of the Jews, thestrength of the creatures was placedat its level and restored. I sufferedall this in the Garden, and the pain

was so much, so many the deaths -the atrocious spasms inflicted uponMe that I really would have died ifthe Will of the Father for my deathhad arrived." (From Vol. 11; January22, 1913) 2. The Scourging at the Pillar(Purity)

Finding myself in my usualstate, I was thinking about thePassion of Our Lord; and while Iwas doing this, He came and toldme: "My daughter, one whomeditates continuously on myPassion and feels sorrow for it andcompassion for Me, pleases Me so

much that I feel somehow comfortedfor all that I suffered in the course ofmy Passion; and by alwaysmeditating on it, the soul arrives atpreparing a continuous food. In thisfood there are many different spicesand flavors, which form differenteffects. Therefore, if in the course ofmy Passion they gave me ropes andchains to tie Me, the soul releasesMe and gives Me freedom. Theydespised Me, spat on Me, anddishonored Me; she appreciates Me,cleans Me of the spit, and honorsMe. They stripped Me and scourgedMe; she heals Me and clothes Me.They crowned Me with thorns,

mocking me as King, embittered mymouth with bile, and crucified Me;while the soul, meditating on all mypains, crowns Me with glory andhonors Me as her King, fills mymouth with sweetness, giving Me themost delicious food, which is thememory of my own works; andunnailing Me from the Cross, shemakes me rise again in her heart.And every time she does so, I giveher a new Life of Grace asrecompense. She is my food, and Ibecome her continuous food. So, thething that pleases Me the most ismeditating continuously on myPassion." (From Vol. 7; November 9,

1906) 3. The Crowning with Thorns(Moral Courage)

Jesus: "My daughter, the painswhich I suffered wereincomprehensible to created mind.Much more painfully than by thosethorns, my mind was pierced by allthe evil thoughts of creatures, insuch a way that none of thesethoughts could escape Me - I feltthem all inside Me. Not only did I feelthe pricks of the thorns, but also thedisgust of the sins which thosethorns represented."

So, I looked at my lovable

Jesus and I could see His Most Holyhead being surrounded by spokes ofthorns which came through frombehind. All the thoughts of thecreatures were in Jesus; they wentfrom Jesus to them, and from theminto Jesus, remaining almost linkedtogether - the evil thoughts of thecreatures with the most holythoughts of Jesus... Oh, how Jesussuffered!

Then He added: "My daughter,only the souls who live in my Will cangive Me true reparations and sootheMe from thorns so sharp. In fact,since they live in my Will, and sincemy Will is everywhere, they find

themselves in Me and in everyone;they descend into the creatures andrise up to Me; they bring Me all thereparations; they soothe Me. And inthe 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 longingof my Heart, the martyrdom of mylove. But you, O Cross, havedelayed until now, while my stepswere always toward you. HolyCross, you were the goal of my

desires, the purpose of my existencedown here. In you I concentrate mywhole being, in you I place all mychildren, and you will be their life,their light, defense, custody andstrength. You will assist them ineverything, and will bring themgloriously to Me in Heaven. OhCross, Pulpit of Wisdom, you alonewill teach true sanctity; you alone willform the heroes, the athletes, themartyrs, the Saints. Beautiful Cross,you are my Throne, and since I haveto leave the earth, you will remain inmy place. To you I give all souls asdowry – keep them, save them; Ientrust them to you!" (From "The

Hours of the Passion"; 18th Hour)"Please, O Cross, receive Me

soon into your arms, I am impatientof waiting! Holy Cross, upon you Ishall come to give completion to all.Hurry, O Cross, fulfill the burningdesire that consumes Me, to give lifeto souls. Delay no more; I anxiouslyyearn to lay Myself upon you inorder to open the Heavens to all mychildren.

Oh Cross, it is true that youare my martyrdom, but in a littlewhile you will also be my victory andmy most complete triumph; andthrough you I will give abundantinheritances, victories, triumphs and

crowns to my children." (From "TheHours of the Passion"; 19th Hour) 5. The Crucifixion and Death ofJesus on the Cross (FinalPerseverance)

Jesus: "Holy Father, here I am,loaded down with all the sins of theworld. There is not one sin whichdoes not pour upon Me; therefore,no longer unload the scourges ofyour divine Justice upon man, butupon Me, your Son. O Father, allowMe to bind all souls to this Cross,and to plead forgiveness for themwith the voices of my Blood and ofmy wounds. O Father, do You not

see how I have reduced Myself? Bythis Cross, by virtue of these pains,concede true conversion, peace,forgiveness and sanctity to all.Arrest your fury against poorhumanity, against my children. Theyare blind, and know not what theyare doing. Look well at Me, how Ihave reduced Myself because ofthem; if you are not moved tocompassion for them, may You atleast be softened by this Face ofmine, dirtied with spit, covered withBlood, bruised and swollen by the somany slaps and blows received.Have pity, my Father! I was themost beautiful of all, and now I am

all disfigured, to the point that I nolonger recognize Myself. I havebecome the abject of all; and so, atany cost, I want to save the poorcreature!"

"My Father, look at Me, fromhead to foot; there is not one part ofMe which is left whole, I do notknow where else to let them openmore wounds and to procure moresufferings. If You do not appeaseYourself at this sight of love andsuffering, who will ever be able toappease You? O creatures, if youdo not surrender to so much Love,what hope remains for you toconvert? These wounds and Blood

of Mine will be voices that constantlycall from Heaven to earth, graces ofrepentance, forgiveness andcompassion for you!" (From "TheHours of the Passion"; 19th Hour)

THEGLORIOUSMYSTERIES

1. The Resurrection (Faith)

Jesus: "My daughter, in myResurrection, the right was given tocreatures to rise again in me to newlife. It was the confirmation, the sealof my whole life, my works and my

words. If I came on earth it was togive to each and every one myResurrection, as their own - to givethem life and make them rise againin my own Resurrection.

But do you want to knowwhere is the real resurrection of thecreature? Not in the end of her days,but while she is still living on earth.One who lives in my Will rises againto light and says: ‘my night is over.’She rises again in the love of herCreator, so that there is no morecold or snow for her, but the smile ofthe Heavenly Spring; she rises againto sanctity, which puts to rushedflight all weaknesses, miseries and

passions; she rises again to all thatis Heaven, and if she looks at theearth, Heaven and Sun, she does itto find the works of her Creator - totake the opportunity to narrate toHim His glory and His long lovestory.

Therefore, one who lives in myWill can say, as the Angel said tothe holy women on the way to thesepulcher, ‘He is risen. He is nothere any more.’ One who lives in myWill can also say, ‘my will is not withme any longer - it is risen again inthe Fiat.’ And if the circumstances oflife, opportunities and sufferingssurround the creature, as if they

were looking for her will, she cananswer: ‘my will is risen again, it isnot in my power anymore. Ipossess, in exchange, the DivineWill, and I want to cover with Its lightall things around me - circumstancesand sufferings, to make them likemany divine conquests.’ The soulwho lives in our Will finds life in theacts of her Jesus, and as always, inthis Life, she finds our operating,conquering, triumphant Will. Shegives Us so much glory that Heavencannot contain it. Therefore, livealways in our Will - never leave It, ifyou want to be our triumph and ourglory." (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 Hesaid: ‘I stay and I leave.’ My wordrepeats upon descending asSacrament in the creatures: ‘I leaveand I remain in the Tabernacles.’ Inthe same way, the creature wholives in my Will can repeat my wordin all her acts. As soon as shebegins her act, her Jesus is formedin that act. My Life has the virtue ofmultiplying Itself to infinity as many

times as I want. Therefore, in alltruth, she can say: ‘I leave and Istay. I leave for Heaven to beatify It,to reach my home and to makeknown to everyone my dear Jesus,Whom I enclosed in my act so thatall may enjoy Him and love Him. Istay on earth, as my life, supportand defense for all my brothers andsisters.’ How beautiful one act in myWill!" (From Vol. 35; January 24,1935) 3. The Descent of the Holy Spiritupon the Apostles (Zeal)

Our Celestial Mother: "…Thenthe time came for the descent of the

Holy Spirit, promised by my Son inthe cenacle. What a transformation,my child! As they were invested,they acquired new science, invinciblestrength, ardent love. A new lifeflowed within them, which renderedthem brave and courageous, in sucha way that they scattered throughoutthe whole world to makeRedemption known, and to give theirlives for their Master. I remainedwith beloved John, and was forcedto leave Jerusalem, as the storm ofpersecution began.

My dearest child, you mustknow that I still continue myMagisterium in the Church. There is

nothing which does not descendfrom me. I can say that I pourmyself out for love of my children,and that I nourish them with mymaternal milk. Now, during thesetimes, I want to display an evenmore special love by making knownhow my whole life was formed in theKingdom of the Divine Will. So I callyou onto my knees, into my maternalarms, so that, forming your ship, youmay be sure to live in the sea of theDivine Will. Greater grace I could notgive you. I beg you, make yourMama content! Come to live in thisKingdom so holy! And when you seethat your will wants to have an act of

life, come and take refuge in thesafe boat of my arms, saying to me:"My Mama, my will wants to betrayme, and I deliver it to you, that youmay put the Divine Will in its place."

Oh, how happy I will be, inbeing able to say: "My child is allmine, because she lives from DivineWill." And I will make the Holy Spiritdescend into your soul, that He mayburn away from you all that ishuman; and by His refreshing breath,He may rule over you and confirmyou in the Divine Will. (From "TheVirgin Mary in the Kingdom of theDivine Will"; Day 30)

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

Jesus: "My daughter, the truename of this Feast [of theAssumption] should be ‘Feast of theDivine Will’. It was the human willthat closed Heaven, broke the bondswith its Creator, made miseries andsuffering enter the field, and put anend to the feast that the creaturewas to enjoy in Heaven. Now, thisCreature, Queen of all, by doing theWill of the Eternal One, always andin everything – even more, it can besaid that Her life was Divine Willalone – opened the Heavens, bound

Herself to the Eternal One, andrestored in Heaven the feasts withthe creature. Every act She did inthe Supreme Will, was a feast thatShe started in Heaven; it was Sunsthat She formed to adorn this feast;it was melodies that She sent todelight the Celestial Jerusalem.

Therefore, the true cause ofthis feast is the Eternal Willoperating and fulfilled in my CelestialMama. It operated such prodigies inHer as to astonish Heaven andearth, chain the Eternal One withindissoluble bonds of love, andenrapture the Word, even from Herwomb. The very Angels, enraptured,

repeated among themselves: "Fromwhere comes so much glory, somuch honor, such greatness andprodigies never seen before - in thisexcelling Creature? Yet, she iscoming from the exile!" Astonished,they recognized the Will of theirCreator as life operating in Her; and,trembling, they said: "Holy, Holy,Holy! Honor and glory to the Will ofOur 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 of Heaven and Earth andQueen of the Divine Will.

Our Celestial Mother: "…As Igave my last breath of pure love inthe endlessness of the Divine Will,my Son received me in His arms andtook me to Heaven, in the midst ofthe angelic choirs which praised meas their Queen. I can say thatHeaven emptied Itself to cometoward me. All celebrated, and inlooking at me, remained enrapturedand said in chorus: "Who is She,who comes from the exile, allcleaving to her Lord? All beautiful, allholy, with the scepter of Queen? Hergreatness is such that the heavens

have lowered themselves to receiveHer. No other creature has enteredthe celestial regions so adorned andso striking - so powerful as to holdsupremacy over all."

Now, my child, do you want toknow who She is - for Whom thewhole of Heaven sings and remainsenraptured? It is I - She who neverdid her own will. The Divine Willabounded so much with me as toextend more beautiful heaven, morerefulgent suns, seas of beauty, oflove, of sanctity, with which I couldgive light to all, love and sanctity toall, and enclose everything andeveryone within my heaven. It was

the work of the Divine Will operatingin me to accomplish such a greatprodigy; I was the only creatureentering Heaven, to have formed ItsKingdom in my soul." (From "TheVirgin Mary in the Kingdom of theDivine Will"; Day 31)
