MAY 1st Re-CONSECRATION PRAYER and 54-day ROSARY NOVENA

OUR LORD AND OUR LADY, THROUGH LITTLE LUISA, ARE ASKING THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE DIVINE WILL TO INTENSIFY PRAYERS THIS MONTH OF OUR LADY, MAY 2020!

So, there are four parts to this document:

  1. Archbishop Jose Gomez, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, is inviting all U.S. bishops to join him on May 1st in re-consecrating the United States of America to the Blessed Virgin Mary in response to the pandemic. The re-consecration is timed to coincide with the bishops of Canada consecrating their own country to Mary at the same time. Archbishop Gomez, who is the Archbishop of Los Angeles, said in a letter sent to all American bishops April 22, that the Marian re-consecration would be done under the title of “Mary, Mother of the Church.” He invited all the bishops of the country to join him in prayer on May 1st at 12 p.m. PDT, or 3 p.m. EDT.In the Most Holy Divine Will, we, the little children of the Divine Will, through the Intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, unite with the bishops and all the faithful of the United States and all countries throughout the world, in praying the following prayer to Our Lady, Mary, Mother of the Church and Our Lady of the Divine Will (prayer at bottom).
  2. Also beginning May 1st we shall offer a 54 day Rosary Novena for the intention that the bishops of the United States will fulfill the Wishes of Our Lady of America – “Our Lady has asked that a statue be made as She Appeared on the Sept. 26th, 1956 (Our Lady of America). After being solemnly carried in procession in the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Wash. D.C., She desires that there it be enshrined in the place of honor and to be venerated there, in a special way as ‘Our Lady of America, the Immaculate Virgin’. (Sister Mary Ephrem to Arb. +Alter – 4/13/60)
  3. Please find attached a brief document on the Arc of the Covenant, Our Lady, the New Arc and little Luisa.With this, please pray the Command Prayer each day with the Rosary for the 54 day Rosary Novena, that the bishops process the New Arc of Mary.
  4. Please pray “The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will” for 31 days in the Month of May 2020.

Prayer for May 1st for the 19+ Nations of the world

In Union with all the Bishops of the world on First Friday, May 1, 2020 we, the little children of the Most Holy Divine Will, one with Luisa, on behalf of all souls, Re-consecrate ourselves,  offering our human wills to Mary our Celestial Queen, Our Lady of the Divine Will.  

O Most Sweet Mama Mary, we, Your little children of the Holy Divine Will, present ourselves before You through Luisa, and prostrate at the Foot of Your Throne, Re-consecrate all human wills of all Countries, past, present and future. We Your little children Give You all our Filial Love, and as Your little children, we want to braid together all the little sacrifices, prayers, and promises of never doing our human wills. Forming a Crown for You, we want to place it on Your Lap as Proof of Love and Thanksgiving to You our Queen Mama. 

But this is not enough; we want You to take all human wills and all our acts in Your Hands as a Sign that You Accept our gift, and at the Touch of Your Maternal Fingers Convert them into Many Suns, for at least as many times as we have tried to do the Divine Will in our little acts.

O, yes, Mother Queen, Your little children want to give You Homages of Light and of Most Refulgent Suns for all people in all countries of the world. We Know You have many of these Suns, but they are not the Suns of all Your little children; so through Luisa, we want to Give You ours, to tell You that we Love You, and to Bind You to Loving all Your little children. Holy Mama, You Smile at us and in All Goodness You accept our gifts; and we Thank You from our hearts in the name of everyone past, present and future. We want to tell You many things; we want to enclose all pains, fears, weaknesses, from every little child in Your Maternal Heart, as the Place of our Refuge.  

O please, Queen Mama, accept all Your children through Luisa and the little children of the Divine Will. Make this Re-consecration a Triumph of Grace, and a Field upon which the Divine Will may Extend Its Kingdom! These human wills of ours, Re-consecrated to You, shall render all souls Inseparable from You and Your Son and shall keep us all in Continuous Relations with You and Jesus. The Doors of Heaven shall not be closed for us, because, Re-consecrating our human wills to You, You shall give us Yours in exchange. Therefore, either Mama shall come and stay with Her children on earth, or Her children shall go to Live with their Mama in Heaven. Oh, how Happy we all shall be!

O please listen, Dearest Mama, in order to Make the Re-consecration of our human wills and of all souls to You More Solemn, we call upon the Sacrosanct Trinity, all the Angels, and all the Saints.  Before all, we promise with this oath, in the name of everyone in all countries past, present and future our Solemn Re-consecration of all human wills to You our Celestial Mama.

O, Sovereign Queen, as Fulfillment, we ask for Your Holy Blessing for ourselves and for everyone. May Your Blessing be the Celestial Dew that Descends upon sinners, to Convert them, and upon the afflicted, to Console them. May it Descend upon all Countries so the whole world be Transformed into Holiness; may it Descend upon the Purging souls and smother the fire that burns them. May Your Maternal Blessing be a Pledge of Salvation for all souls past present and future, and may It bring about the Kingdom of the Divine Will, through The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, on earth as It is in Heaven.

FIAT!

AMEN!

SO BE IT!

OUR LORD AND OUR LADY, THROUGH LITTLE LUISA, ARE ASKING THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE DIVINE WILL TO INTENSIFY PRAYERS THIS MONTH OF OUR LADY, MAY 2020!

Fiat!

The Arc, Our Lady and Luisa

QUESTION:

WHY DOES GOD WILL THE REMOVAL OF MASSES, THE SACRAMENTS, THE PRIESTS .. ETC…???

ANSWER:

VOLUME 12 – February 12, 1918

Churches deserted and without ministers

Continuing in my usual state, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen so very afflicted, and I said to Him: ‘MY LOVE, WHAT’S WRONG THAT YOU ARE SO AFFLICTED?’

And He JESUS: “Ah! my daughter, when I allow that churches remain deserted, ministers dispersed, Masses reduced, it means that

the sacrifices are offenses to Me,

the prayers insults,

the adorations irreverences,

the confessions amusements, and without fruits.

THEREFORE, NO LONGER FINDING MY GLORY, BUT RATHER, OFFENSES, NOR ANY GOOD FOR THEM, SINCE THEY ARE OF NO USE TO ME ANY MORE, I REMOVE THEM.  

HOWEVER, THIS SNATCHING MINISTERS AWAY FROM MY SANCTUARY MEANS ALSO THAT THINGS HAVE REACHED THE UGLIEST POINT, AND THAT THE VARIETY OF SCOURGES WILL MULTIPLY.  HOW HARD MAN IS – HOW HARD!”

WHAT IS NEEDED

WHAT IS NEEDED

Storm Luisa with your prayers.

            If we wish the Servant of God to continue, and even hasten, her ascent to the glory of the altar, let us give her a chance to perform first class miracles.
            Her holiness and the favors already granted should impregnate our supplications with unquenchable confidence.
            It is certainly permissible to pray to her in our daily needs, but let us not be afraid to implore real miracles from her.
            Let us invoke her or have her invoked in cases of fatal maladies, wherein science has to declare itself powerless.
            That is when Luisa Piccarreta will be able to display the prodigious power of her intercession.

MAKE KNOWN THE FAVORS RECEIVED

For the glory of God and of Luisa Piccarreta, kindly write out the favors obtained, sign them, with two witnesses, if possible, and send to:

SYMBOLIC OF LUISA AND THE HOLY FATHER POPE BENEDICT

In honor of Pope Benedict XVI birthday and Baptism this day, April 16…the following are excerpts from the attached document of 2017. 

 St. Mary Magdalene and St. John are Symbolic of Luisa and the Holy Father

In addition to the Plan of Salvation, one might recognize time, Eternity and the Fullness of God’s Plan captured in the Crucifixion Scene. Our Lord Jesus is the Son of God, Redeemer and New Adam, Obeying God, Sacrificially Nailed to the Cross, a Tree, like under which Adam and Eve fell. Our Lady, Mary Most Holy is Co-Redeemer and Mother of the Church and all God’s children, New Eve, Silent and United with Her Lord. St. Mary Magdalene is faithful daughter of the Nascent Church and also represents the Third Eve, Luisa Piccarreta, mother of the little children of the Divine Will. John the Apostle is Priest offering the Sacrifice of Our Lord, faithful to the Church and leading the flock, representing the Third Adam, the Holy Father who will lead the Church and the faithful with the Third Eve Luisa, through Jesus and Mary, into the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

V4 – 12.4.02 – “…I, Priest and Victim, Lifted Up on the Wood of the Cross, Wanted a priest to be present, to Assist Me in that State of Victim – and he was Saint John, who Represented the Nascent Church. In him I Saw Everyone – Popes, bishops, priests and All the faithful together; and while Assisting Me, he Offered Me as Victim for the Glory of the Father and for the Good Outgrowth of the Nascent Church.”

“I am not abandoning the Cross, but remaining in a New Way at the side of the Crucified Lord.” – Pope Benedict XVI at his last Papal audience on February 27, 2013

April 16 – OSA – “…this Angel stands at this Cross (outward life of the Church) in the Name of Mary, Mother of the Church and Mother of all mankind. But he stands just as well for John, for all members of the Corpus Christi Mysticum…”

V15 – 4.14.23 – “So, the whole Church prays; and just as the tears, the penances, the prayers to obtain the Messiah were directed toward that Excelling Virgin, Mary, whom I was to Dispose in order to Centralize such a Great Good in Her, so that they might receive their Savior, even though they did not know whom She would be – in the Same Way, Now, when the Church recites the ‘Our Father’, it is precisely for you, Luisa that the Church prays, so that I may Centralize in you all the Good that My Will Contains, the ‘way’ – the ‘how’ the Divine Will may have Life on earth as It does in Heaven.”

In 1888 Luisa became a Daughter of Mary and a Dominican Tertiary with the name of Magdalene.

According to the Gospel of St. John, the Resurrected Jesus singled St. Mary Magdalene out from all the others, charging her alone to bring the Good News of His Resurrection to His Apostles.

May the Good News in the Book of Heaven, the Fullness of God’s Holy Divine Will, through the little daughter of the Divine Will, Luisa Piccarreta, bring Conversions, Healings and Sanctification to all souls and the Kingdom of the Divine Will on earth!

Fiat!

United together with all the little children of the Most Holy Divine Will throughout the entire world in every country and time zone, please Prayerfully read The Twenty-Four Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus  Christ, before a Crucifix on Holy Thursday and Good Friday 2020.

Begin on Holy Thursday evening from 5pm to 10pm to (the 12 Hour) then 8+ hours of sleep rise at 7am to prayerfully read from (the 13th Hour) to and conclude on (the 24th Hour) of Good Friday.

Once again, begin to prayerfully read on Holy Thursday evening at 5pm (not including the Reflections and Practices each hour) Prayerfully read the 1st Hour (from 5pm to 6pm), continue to prayerfully read the subsequent Hours until bedtime at 10:00pm (by finishing the 12th Hour).

(It does not take a full hour to read each “Hour,” but use these 5 hours to comfort Our Lord in His Passion.)

One more time for people like me:
Begin at 5:00pm Holy Thursday prayerfully read the 1st Hour (possibly 20-25 minutes to read), then continue to prayerfully read the 2nd,  3rd, 4th Hours etc., up to (the 12th Hour from 4am to 5am) before retiring for the night by 10:00pm.

Please stay with Our Lord in His Passion from Holy Thursday at 5pm to Good Friday up to comforting Our Lady at Jesus’ Burial at 5pm.

Again, we will not pray the Reflections and Practices at the end of each hour.  It is highly recommended that we pray the 24 Hours of the Passion before a Crucifix.

This is the most Essential and Advantageous time of 2020. We are Praying the 24 Hours of the Passion in these most difficult times, all for the Glory of God and the Salvation and Sanctification of souls, repairing and redoing for everyone and everything past, present and future so the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as it is in Heaven may have Its Completion and Fulfillment!

The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord 3/25

We go to the Throne of God linked to mama Luisa in The Most Holy Divine Will united with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary and we pray with all souls past, present and future, with all the Angels and Saints with one voice speaking for all of Creation:

Link to The Feast of the Annunciation in the Divine Will

The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

The Annuncation

+++ “Fiat Mihi +++

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”

John 6:38

“I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. ”

Matthew 7:21

“”Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”

Psalms 40: 7 – 11

Then I said, “Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me;

I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart.”

I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great

congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou

knowest, O LORD.

I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of

thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy

steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.

Do not thou, O LORD, withhold thy mercy from me, let thy

steadfast love and thy faithfulness ever preserve me!

 Hebrews 10: 4 – 10

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should

take away sins.

Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices

and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;

in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure.

Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God, ‘as it is

written of me in the roll of the book.”

When he said above, “Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure

in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin

offerings” (these are offered according to the law),

then he added, “Lo, I have come to do thy will.” He

abolishes the first in order to establish the second.

And by that will we have been sanctified through

the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Luke 1: 26 – 38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from

God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was

Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s

name was Mary.

And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the

Lord is with you!”

But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and

considered in her mind what sort of greeting this

might be.

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,

for you have found favor with God.

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and

bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the

Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the

throne of his father David,

and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever;

and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be,

since I have no husband?”

And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will

come upon you, and the power of the Most High

will overshadow you; therefore the child to be

born will be called holy, the Son of God.

And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her

old age has also conceived a son; and this is the

sixth month with her who was called barren.

For with God nothing will be impossible.”

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of

the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

And the angel departed from her.

“Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
We link our “Fiat” with mama Luisa and The Blessed Mother’s “Fiat Mihi,” 
in The Most Holy Divine Will,
all for the Love, Praise, Glory, and Honor to Our Triune God
and for the salvation of souls!

With Mama Luisa may this act be multiplied to the infinite in every thought word and deed in The Most Holy Divine Will and for every beat of our hearts and breath that we take in time and in eternity.

We bring all souls, including all Angels and Saints, from the first to the last and repeat this act in every beat of all hearts and every breath that all take.

We bring all creatures, from the first to the last: and repeat this act in every beat of all hearts and every breath that all take.

We bring all of creation, past, present and future in every molecule that exists, we repeat this holy intention.

Fiat!
Fiat!

The Virgin Mary In the Kingdom of the Divine Will

Day Nineteen

The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

The Doors of Heaven open, the Sun of the Eternal Word

 places Himself on the lookout. He sends His Angel

 to tell the Virgin that the Hour of God has come. 

Annunciation1

The soul to her Celestial Mama:

Holy Mama, here I am again on the knees of my Mama.  I am your child, who wants to be fed the food of your most sweet word, which brings me the balm to heal the wounds of my miserable human will.  My Mama, speak to me; let your powerful words descend into my heart and form a new creation, in order to form the seed of the Divine Will in my soul.

Lesson of the Sovereign Queen:

Dearest child, this is precisely the purpose for which I love so much to let you hear the celestial secrets of the Divine Fiat, the portents It can operate where It reigns completely, and the great harm of one who lets himself be dominated by the human will: that you may love the Divine Will, to let It form Its throne within you, and abhor the human will, to make of it the footstool of the Divine Will, keeping it sacrificed at Its divine feet.

Now, my child, listen to Me: I continued my life in Nazareth; the Divine Fiat continued to expand Its Kingdom within Me. It used my littlest acts, even the most indifferent ones – such as keeping the little house in order, starting the fire, sweeping, and all the tasks that are usually done in the families to let Me feel Its life palpitating in the fire, in the water, in the food, in the air I breathed – in everything.

And investing them, It formed over my little acts seas of light, of grace, of sanctity; because wherever It reigns, the Divine Will has the power to form, from little trifles, new heavens of enchanting beauty. In fact, being immense, It does not know how to do small things, but with Its power It gives value to trifles, and makes of them the greatest things, such as to astonish Heaven and earth.  Everything is holy, everything is sacred, for one who lives of Divine Will.

Now, child of my Heart, pay attention to Me and listen: several days before the descent of the Eternal Word upon earth, I could see Heaven opened and the Sun of the Divine Word at Its doors, as though to look out for the one upon whom He was to take His flight, to render Himself Celestial Prisoner of a creature. Oh! how beautiful it was to see Him at the doors of Heaven, as though on the lookout, and to spy the fortunate creature who was to host her Creator! The Sacrosanct Trinity no longer looked at the earth as alien to Them, because there was little Mary who, by possessing the Divine Will, had formed the Divine Kingdom in which He could descend safely, as in His own dwelling, in which He would find Heaven and the many suns of the many acts of Divine Will done in my soul. The Divinity overflowed with love, and removing the mantle of justice which, for so many centuries, They had kept with creatures, They covered Themselves with the mantle of infinite mercy, and decreed among Themselves the descent of the Word, and were in the act of sounding the hour of the fulfillment. At this sound, Heaven and earth were astounded, and all stood at attention, to be spectators of such a great excess of love, and a prodigy so unheard-of.

Your Mama felt ignited with love, and echoing the love of my Creator, I wanted to form one single sea of love, so that the Word might descend upon earth within it.  My prayers were incessant, and while I was praying in my little room, an Angel came, sent from Heaven as messenger of the great King.  He came before Me, and bowing, he hailed Me“Hail, O Mary, our Queen; the Divine Fiat has filled You with grace. He has already pronounced His Fiat – that He wants to descend; He is already behind my shoulders, but He wants your Fiat to form the fulfillment of His Fiat.”

At such a great announcement, so much desired by Me – although I had never thought I would be the chosen one – I was stupefied and hesitated one instant. But the Angel of the Lord told Me: “Do not fear, our Queen, for You have found grace before God. You have conquered your Creator; therefore, to complete the victory – pronounce your Fiat.”

I pronounced my Fiat, and – oh! marvel – the two Fiat fused together and the Divine Word descended into Me. My Fiat, which was endowed with same value as the Divine Fiat, from the seed of my humanity, formed the tiny little Humanity which was to enclose the Word; and the great prodigy of the Incarnation was accomplished.

Oh! power of the Supreme Fiat – You raised Me so high as to render Me powerful, to the point of being able to create within Me that Humanity which was to enclose the Eternal Word, whom Heaven and earth could not contain. The heavens were shaken, and all Creation assumed the attitude of feast; and exulting with joy, they peeked over the little house of Nazareth, to give homages and obsequies to the Creator made Man; and in their mute language, they said: “Oh! prodigy of prodigies, which only a God could do. Immensity has made itself little, power has rendered itself powerless, His unreachable height has lowered itself deep into the abyss of the womb of a Virgin, and at the same time, He is little and immense, powerful and powerless, strong and weak.”

My dear child, you cannot comprehend what your Mama experienced in the act of the Incarnation of the Word. All pressed upon Me and awaited my Fiat, I could say, omnipotent.

Now, dear child, listen to Mehow much you should take to heart doing the Divine Will and living of It. My power still exists – let Me pronounce my Fiat over your soul. But in order to do this, I want your own. A true good cannot be done with one alone; the greatest works are always done between two. God Himself did not want to do it on His own, but wanted Me together with Him to form the great prodigy of the Incarnation; and in my Fiat and in His, the life of the Man-God was formed, the destiny of mankind was restored, Heaven was no longer closed; all goods were enclosed between the two Fiat.  Therefore, let us pronounce them together: “Fiat, Fiat”, and my maternal love will enclose in you the life of the Divine Will.

Enough for now; tomorrow I will wait for you again, to narrate to my child the continuation of the Incarnation.

The soul:

Beautiful Mama, I feel stupefied in hearing your beautiful lessons. O please! I pray You to pronounce your Fiat over me; and I will pronounce my own, so that that Fiat, for which You so much yearn to reign as life in me, may be conceived in me.

Little Sacrifice:

Today, to honor Me, You will come to give the first kiss to Jesus, and will say to Him, as many as nine times, that you want to do His Will.  And I will repeat the prodigy of making Jesus be conceived in your soul.

Ejaculatory Prayer:

Powerful Queen, pronounce your Fiat, and create in me the Will of God.
