“Now I die more content, because the Divine Volition consoled me more than usual with your presence in these lasts instants of my life. Now I see a long, beautiful and wide Road, illuminated by infinite and shining Suns... Oh, yes, I recognize them! They are the Suns of my acts done in the Divine Will. This is the road which I now follow. It is the way prepared for me by the Divine Volition, it is the road of my triumph, it is the road of my glory, to connect me in the immense happiness of the Divine Will. It is my road, it is the road which I will reserve for you, dear Father; it is the road which I will reserve for all those souls who will want to live in the Divine Will.” 1 The Holy Death of Luisa Piccarreta By Padre Bernardino Bucci

At the news of Luisa’s death which occurred on March 4 A.D. 1947, it seemed that the people of Corato paused to live a unique and extraordinary event. Their Luisa, their Saint, was no more. And like a river in full spate they poured into Luisa’s house to look at her and express their affection to her, for so many years esteemed and beloved by all. On the day of her funeral official mourning was declared in the town. Luisa’s body remained exposed for public veneration (with the permission of the health service’s doctor) to satisfy the thousands of people of Corato and the surrounding area who poured into the house day and night. It was necessary to have recourse to the police to control the flow of people. Everyone was under the impression that Luisa had fallen asleep and was not dead. In fact, her body, laid on the bed, did not undergo rigor mortis. It was possible to raise her hands, move her head in all directions, bend her fingers without forcing them, and raise and bend her arms. Her eyelids could be lifted and one could see her shining eyes, undimmed by death: everyone – strangers, priests, ecclesiastical and civil figures – wanted to see this unique and marvelous case. A great many skeptics left the mortuary chamber shocked, crying and renewed. Luisa seemed alive, as if a placid and serene sleep had stopped her for an instant. Everyone was convinced that she wasn’t dead, and some said: "Call the bishop and you will see that by making the he will awaken her; isn’t Luisa a daughter of obedience?". This hope expressed the love they all felt for the Servant of God. But a council of doctors, summoned by the religious, civil and health authorities, declared after a careful examination that beloved Luisa really was dead. As long as she remained exposed for public veneration, she gave no sign of corruption nor did her body emanate any odors of putrefaction. Like a queen, she remained sitting on her bed. It proved impossible to lay her out, so that a special "p" shaped coffin had to be built for her, the front and sides of glass so that everyone could see her for the last time. Luisa the Saint, who for about 70 years had always remained sitting up in bed without ever leaving her room, passed among the immense lines of people, borne on the shoulders of a numerous group of sisters of all orders and surrounded by an unspecified number of priests and religious. Her funeral was celebrated by the entire chapter in the main church, with the participation of all the confraternities of Corato…I visited Luisa’s body several times during the four days that she remained exposed, touching her several times and taking some of the flowers that were constantly placed upon her feet and legs, which I have guarded jealously for many years among my books. Many were given to the sick who were healed when they touched them and were able to attend her funeral. As the coffin passed, the bed-ridden were carried to the doors of their houses and many, it was said, received special graces. Luisa was buried in the Calvi family chapel. On July 3 A.D. 1963, her mortal remains were returned to Corato, to rest permanently in the parish Church of Santa Maria Greca.

Book of Heaven - Volume 1 One morning – it was the day of the Exaltation of the Cross – my sweet Jesus transported me to the holy sites; and first, He told me many things about the virtue of the cross. I don’t remember all, but just a few things: “My beloved, do you want to be beautiful? The cross will give you the most beautiful features that can possibly be found, both in Heaven and on earth; so much so, as to enamor God, who contains all beauties within Himself.”

Letter of Luisa Piccarreta to Federico Abresch from Bologna Don’t you know that Redemption is preparation for the Kingdom of the Divine Will? And the Sacred Heart of Jesus is nothing other than the immense Reign of His Will...

Highlights: In the year 1846, June 21, Pope Pius IX started his Papal Reign.

On 8 Dec., 1854 Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin as a dogma of the Church. He also fostered the devotion to the Sacred Heart. On 23 Sept.A.D. 1856, extended this feast to the whole world with the rite of a double major.

In his "Quanta Cura" of 8 Dec., A.D. 1864, he condemned sixteen propositions touching on errors of the age. This Encyclical was accompanied by the famous "Syllabus errorum", a table of eighty previously censured propositions bearing on , naturalism, rationalism, indifferentism, socialism, communism, freemasonry, and the various kinds of religious liberalism. Luisa was born the following year April 23A.D. 1865.

On 29 June A.D. 1869, he issued the Bull "Æterni Patris", convoking the which he opened in the presence of 700 bishops on 8 Dec. A.D. 1879. During its fourth solemn session, on 18 July A.D. 1870, the papal infallibility was made a dogma of the Church.

At his instance the Catholic world was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on 16 June, A.D. 1875.

In 1871 he celebrated his twenty-fifth, in 1876 his thirtieth, anniversary as pope, and in 1877 his golden episcopal jubilee. His tomb is in the church of San Lorenzo fuori le mura. The so-called diocesan process of his beatification was begun on 11 February, A.D. 1907.

SAINT MALACHY - Crux de cruce. Cross from a cross. PIUS IX. 1846-1878. During his pontificate, the House of Savoy, whose coat of arms is a white cross on a red background, reunited Italy and stripped the pope of his territorial possessions. Pope Pius XII, commenting on the beatification process of Pius IX, used the words per crucem ad lucem (through the cross to light). Pius IX was finally beatified by Pope John Paul II in A.D. 2000.

5 The 25 year period of Luisa’s life where Luisa becomes “Victim, Bride of Jesus”

Leo XIII (1878-1903) Motto "Lumen in caelo" (Sunshine in heaven) Luisa begins writing under obedience and completes 1st volume on her life up to the point where she was given the obedience to start writing. Luisa’s mission started at the beginning of the Papal Reign of Pope Leo XIII in 1878 with her first vision of Jesus Carrying the Cross saying to her “ANIMA AIUTAMI!” (SOUL HELP ME!)

This was the same year that Bl. Hanniable Maria Di Francia started his Priestly mission. On October 16, A.D.1888 Luisa received the Mystical Union – 90 years later to the day, Karl Wojtyla was elected Ioannes Paulus PP. II

Letter no. 110 from Luisa Piccarreta to Frederico Abresch The Sanctity of living in the Divine Will is symbolized by the SUN, which does good to all, gives Itself to all, denies Itself to no one, and while almost holding the earth on Its lap (giving to each plant, to some color, to some sweetness, to some fragrance – things which are all different and distinct among each other), yet, while doing so much good, the SUN never says a word; It allows Its light to be trodden by our steps; It follows us everywhere, and all the glory and honor is of God, who made It SUN. Such is the soul who lives in the Divine Will, whom the Lord uses to do good to all, and from whom He receives glory and honor, as if all had loved Him.

Highlights: In the year 1878 on Feb 20, A.D. 1878 Pope Leo XIII started his Papal Reign. Pope Leo XIII recommended in 1882 the Third Order of St. Francis. He instituted the feast of the Holy Family, and desired societies in its honor to be founded everywhere (1892). He preached the benefits of the ; and he favored greatly devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He opened the Vatican Archives (1883) which one day housed and protected the Volumes written by Luisa

October 13,A.D.1884 (33 years to the day before the Great at Fatima) Leo XIII had just completed a celebration of in one of the Vatican's private chapels. Standing at the foot of the , he suddenly turned ashen and collapsed to the floor, apparently the victim of a stroke or heart attack. However, neither malady was the cause of his collapse. For he had just been given a vision of the future of the Church he loved so much. After a few minutes spent in what seemed like a coma, he revived and remarked to those around him, "Oh, what a horrible picture I was permitted to see!"

What Leo XIII apparently saw, as described later by those who talked to him at the time of his vision, was a period of about one hundred years when the power of Satan would reach its zenith. That period was to be the twentieth century. Leo was so shaken by the specter of the destruction of moral and spiritual values both inside and outside the Church, that he composed a prayer which was to be said at the end of each Mass celebrated anywhere in the Catholic Church. This prayer to the Archangel was said continuously until the Mass was restructured in the . The prayer is as follows: "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen."

6 An 11 year period where Luisa “The Divine Mirror” completed “The Hours of the Passion”, which was soon followed by WWI

St. Pius X (1903-14) Motto "renew all things in Christ

In the year of A.D. 1903, Luisa completed the 1st volume of her life, up to the point on February 28, A.D. 1899, when she was given the obedience to write.

“Several witnesses relate that one day Father Annibale came to the house of Luisa more content than ever, and said that he had brought this book to the Holy Father, Saint Pious X, who had received him several times in private audience. Father Annibale was reading him one of the Hours (that of the Crucifixion), when the Pope interrupted, saying: "Not this way, Father, but kneeling one must read. It is Jesus Christ that is speaking. " Finally, Father Annibale, as Censor of the writings, obtained the Imprimatur from His Excellency the of Trani for the volumes written by Luisa (at that time there were already nineteen).

Book of Heaven - Volume 7 - October 13, A.D. 1906 - Necessity of these writings, which are a Divine Mirror. As I was in my usual state, my good Jesus made Himself seen for a little while, and He told me: "My daughter, in order to know whether a soul is stripped of everything, it is enough to see this: if holy or even indifferent desires arise within her and she is ready to sacrifice them to the Divine Volition with holy peace, it means that she is stripped; but if she becomes disturbed and upset, it means that she is keeping something for herself." Hearing the word "desire", I said: ‘My highest Good, my desire is that I would rather not write any more. How it weighs on me – if it wasn’t for fear of going out of your Will and of displeasing You, I would not do it.’ And He, breaking my words off, added: "You do not want it, and I want it. That which I say to you, and which you write out of obedience, for now, serves as a mirror for you and for those who take part in directing you; but the time will come when it will serve as a mirror for others. So, that which you write, spoken by Me, can be called ‘Divine Mirror’. And you would want to take this Divine Mirror away from my creatures? Watch it, seriously, my daughter, and do not want to restrict this Mirror of Grace by not writing everything." On hearing this, I remained confused and humiliated, with a great repugnance to write these last words of His, but obedience absolutely imposed it on me, and only to obey, I wrote. Deo Gratias.

Highlights: Pius X said that the motto of his pontificate would be "instaurare omnia in Christo" He advised all (Decr. S. Congr. Concil., 20 Dec., A.D. 1905) to receive Holy frequently and, if possible, daily, dispensing the sick from the obligation of fasting to the extent of enabling them to receive Holy Communion twice each month, and even oftener (Decr. S. Congr. Rit., 7 Dec., A.D. 1906). By the Decree "Quam Singulari" (15 Aug., A.D. 1910), he recommended that the of children should not be deferred too long after they had reached the age of discretion. He published, 22 November, A.D. 1903, a Motu Proprio on sacred music in churches, and at the same time ordered the authentic to be used everywhere. In the Encyclical "Acerbo nimis" (15 April, A.D. 1905) he treated of the necessity of catechismal instruction, not only for children, but also for adults. On 8 Sept., A.D. 1907, there appeared the famous Encyclical "Pascendi", which condemned the system of Modernism.

SAINT MALACHY PROPHECY - [1903-1914]—"Ignis Ardens" (Burning Fire). Real name: Giuseppe Melchiarre Sarto. It was during Sarto's reign that Europe ignited in war, and like a brush fire, the flames of discontent spread from one nation to the next until finally, in 1914, war engulfed the entire continent. 7 8 Year Period where Luisa starts her “New Office”

Motto "Obedience and Peace". Benedict XV (1914-22)

In 1913 Luisa finished the “Hours of the Passion” and on June 28, A.D. 1914 WWI started and shortly thereafter, Pope Pius X finished his reign as Pope on August 20, A.D. 1914 and was replaced by Pope Benedict XV.

The eight year period covering apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in May – Oct 1917, followed by the Russian Revolution in Oct of the same year and also followed by the end of WWI on Nov. A.D. 11, 1918, the of Padre Pio on Sept. 20, A.D. 1918 and shortly followed by the deaths of the little shepherds of Fatima Franscisco Matro on April 4, A.D. 1919 his sister Jacinta Matro on Feb. 20. A.D. 1920 and very importantly the birth of our current Holy Father Pope John Paul II then Karol Wojkyla on May 20, A.D. 1920. At the end of this 8 year period on March 17, A.D.1921, Luisa starts her “New Office” that Jesus’ Will had in His Humanity.

Book of Heaven – Volume 12 - March 17, A.D. 1921 Jesus makes Luisa pass from the office which His Humanity had upon earth, to the office which His Will had within His Humanity. …. “My beloved, up until now you have done before Me the office which my Humanity had upon earth. Now I want to change your office, giving you another one, more noble, more extensive: I want to give you the office which my Will had within my Humanity. See how much higher and more sublime this is: my Humanity had a beginning - my Will is eternal; my Humanity is circumscribed and limited - my Will has no limits and no boundaries; It is immense. A more noble and distinguished office I could not give you.”

Highlights: In 1917 Benedict promulgated the great new Code of Canon Law.

During WWI Benedict XV as father of all Catholics, during WWI, he had to maintain strict neutrality. He succeeded so well that while excitable Allies called him pro-German, excitable Germans called him pro-Ally.

Benedict succeeded in getting wounded and sick prisoners sent to recuperate in the comparatively well-off neutral countries. The Pope also tried to help suffering civilians. His intercession enabled deported Belgians to return home. He begged mercy for the poor Armenians, and he donated money freely to the suffering all over war-torn Europe. After the armistice Benedict continued his good work.

Influenza carried off this man of peace, Pope Benedict XV, on January 22, 1922. Among his last words were "We offer our life to God on behalf of the peace of the World." Rightly has Benedict XV been called "The good Samaritan of humanity.

SAINT MALACHY PROPHECY - Religio depopulate Religion destroyed Benedict XV Reigned during, but had no influence to stop, World War I. This unprecedented period of violence was mainly fought between the Christian powers of Europe, destroying empires which had lasted centuries and began the worldwide spread of atheistic Communism.

8 “17 Years - Luisa the Persecution”

Pius XI (1922-39) Motto “the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ”

Pius established the beautiful Feast of on December 11, A.D. 1925 Pius had much sorrow. He grieved over the sufferings of his children in , , , and . Just before he died on February 10, A.D. 1939, Pius offered his life for the peace of the world.

This span of 17 years ends with of the “Period of Persecution”. Luisa’s long time friend, supporter and special Confessor (also of 17 years) Saint Anniable dies on June 1, A.D. 1927, the volumes are taken away from her on May 11,A.D. 1938 and her obligation to write is stopped on December 28, A.D. 1938. After six months from the prohibition of the books her Bishop died and the fathers who made the books be prohibited could obtain from the Holy Office, after the death of the Bishop, also the prohibition of Holy Mass. However, later Nov 20, A.D. 1994 on the Feast of Christ the King, Archbishop Cassati officially opened the beatification cause of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta in the principal church of Corato.

Book of Heaven -Volume 6 - August 5, A.D. 1904 Jesus, Ruler of kings and Lord of lords. Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, in the act of ruling and dominating everything, and of reigning with the crown of King on His head and with the scepter of command in His hand. While I was seeing Him in this position, He told me (though in , but I will say it according to what I understood): “My daughter, I am the Ruler of kings and the Lord of lords. To Me alone is this right of justice due, which the creature owes Me; and by not giving it to Me, she denies Me as Creator and Master of everything.” While saying this, He seemed to take the world in His hand and turn it upside down, so that creatures would submit to His regime and dominion. At the same time I could also see how the Lord ruled and dominated my soul, with such mastery that I felt all submerged in Him. From Him came the regime of my mind, of my affections, of my desires; many electric wires passed between me and Him, through which He directed and dominated everything.

Pius XII Motto Peace a fruit of justice: Opus justitiae

Pius XII (1939-58) Pius did much to save from destruction and Jews, refugees, and all manner of hunted folk found safety in the tiny Papal State.

He purportedly experienced mystical visions of both Jesus and Mary. After one of these "visions" he reportedly told one of his assistants, "Mankind must prepare itself for sufferings such as it has never before experienced."

The last period of Luisa’s “Life of Solitude” lasting 8 years, beginning with the start and completion of WWII and ending on March 4, A.D. 1947 only 4 months after Karol Wojkyla was ordained a Priest. On November 27, A.D.1948 Luisa was given the title “Servant of God” on a holy card bearing the nihil obstat of Archbishop Reginald Addazi, O.P., the for Luisa’s archdiocese of Trani-Nazareth at the time of her death.

Luisa Letter 87. To Federico Abresch J.M.J. In Voluntate Dei – Fiat! Most esteemed son in the Divine Volition, …Now, I let you know that I receive Holy Communion every day, and Holy Mass once a week, while, before, even when I went out of the convent, It was celebrated every day. Since after six months from the prohibition of the books our Bishop died, the fathers who made the books be prohibited could obtain from the Holy Office, after the death of the Bishop, also the prohibition of Holy Mass. But the Divine Will, in which I find everything, and even the Holy Mass - no one can take It away from me.

Dearest one in the Divine Volition, I don’t know how to thank you for your desire to help me like a son, if I were in need of the necessary things. Thank you, thank you! Even more, I want to tell you a which has been promised by the Divine Fiat: It will take to heart the destiny of all those who will live from It, and will provide them with everything they need, for both the soul and the body. It will make them lack nothing, and if necessary, even with miraculous means. We will find ourselves in the conditions of Creation, in which one created thing has no need of the other, but all are rich in themselves. However, they remain in highest accord and never move from their place. Our place is the Divine Will. If we live in It, It will keep us at Its table and nothing will be lacking to us. How good is the Lord! Let us thank Him from the heart.

Moreover, I let you know that dear Jesus is displeased for no one takes interest in a cause so holy. Therefore, if you can do something, move or push someone – do it, for you will please Jesus. And if you could interest yourself to let me have back the Holy Mass, how grateful would I be! I had it for forty years, and without knowing reason, they took it away from me. Fiat, Fiat!

I commend myself to your prayers, and leaving you in the sea of the Divine Volition, I send the greeting of the Fiat to you, to good Amelia, to little Piuccio and to the little group; and I say, Most affectionately yours, The little daughter of the Divine Will. Corato, April 10, A.D. 1940

10 Highlights: In the days of the Second World War Pius tried hard to keep a door open to peace. On December 24, A.D. 1939, he gave the world a sane five-point peace program. Pius called on Catholics all over the world to share with the needy. Pius also did much to save Rome from destruction and Jews, refugees, and all manner of hunted folk found safety in the tiny Papal State. He purportedly experienced mystical visions of both Jesus and Mary. After one of these "visions" he reportedly told one of his assistants, "Mankind must prepare itself for sufferings such as it has never before experienced." Pius greatly relaxed the old rules governing the time of Mass and the fast necessary to receive Holy Communion. He also simplified the breviary. Pius XII died on October 9 A.D., 1958. For suffering people of all faiths or no faith he had been a true father.

On January 25, A.D. 1959, he announced plans for a general or ecumenical council which would be called the Second Vatican Council which on October 11, A.D. 1962. His death on June 3, A.D. 1963, followed a long agony. It evoked an astonishing wave of sympathy from all quarters which was a response to his exceptionally warm and outgoing personality.

Taken from Pope John XXIII’s Opening Speech to the Council On October 11, A.D. 1962, the first day of the Council, Pope John delivered this address in St. Peter's Basilica.

Mother Church rejoices that, by the singular gift of Divine Providence, the longed-for day has finally dawned when -- under the auspices of the virgin Mother of God, whose maternal dignity is commemorated on this feast -- the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council is being solemnly opened here beside St. Peter's tomb.

…The great problem confronting the world after almost two thousand years remains unchanged. Christ is ever resplendent as the center of history and of life. Men are either with Him and His Church, and then they enjoy light, goodness, order, and peace. Or else they are without Him, or against Him, and deliberately opposed to His Church, and then they give rise to confusion, to bitterness in human relations, and to the constant danger of fratricidal wars.

Ecumenical Councils, whenever they are assembled, are a solemn celebration of the union of Christ and His Church, and hence lead to the universal radiation of truth, to the guidance of individuals in domestic and social life, to the strengthening of spiritual energies for a perennial uplift toward real and everlasting goodness.

The testimony of this extraordinary of the Church in the succeeding epochs of these twenty centuries of Christian history stands before us collected in numerous and imposing volumes, which are the sacred patrimony of our ecclesiastical archives, here in Rome and in the more noted libraries of the entire world.

Book of Heaven - Volume 12 - January 29, A.D. 1919 Every two thousand years I have renewed the world. In the first two thousand years I renewed it with the Deluge; in the second two thousand I renewed it with my coming upon earth when I manifested my Humanity, from which, as if from many fissures, my Divinity shone forth. The good ones and the very Saints of the following two thousand years have lived from the fruits of my Humanity and, in drops, they have enjoyed my Divinity. Now we are around the third two thousand years, and there will be a third renewal.

12 “Luisa the Renewal”

Paul VI (1963-78)

The 1970’s were the beginning of renewed interest in Luisa’s writings on the Holy Divine Will.

Highlights:

The pontificate of Paul VI will always be linked with the Council and bringing it to a successful conclusion (December 8, A.D. 1965).

He is remembered for his work toward the reunion of all Christians, his reaching out to the immense multitudes who belong to non-Christian religions or to none, his internationalizing the Roman Curia, and his untiring work for peace.

He was the first pope to visit every continent, and the first since St. Peter to visit the Holy Land.

The first papal visit to the Western Hemisphere to visit the United Nations Headquarters in New York on October 4, A.D. 1965.

13 “Luisa the Cause”

Pope John Paul I 1978

As the 1970’s start to come to an end, in the year A.D. 1978 Aunt Rosaria the first promoter of Luisa’s cause joins Luisa in Heaven. Rosaria’s mission to promote Luisa and her cause passes to her nephew Padre Bernardino Bucci who continues to this day this work started by his Aunt.

Highlights: Albino Luciani was born to a poor family on October 17, A.D. 1912, in the diocese of Belluno in the Dolomite Alps of Northern Italy. Cardinal Luciani shunned the limelight, his was of unimpressive appearance and bearing, his lack of eloquence, and his absorption in the inner life of the Church. He kept out of the public controversies of the day unless, like communism and divorce. He was a born teacher but was not an accomplished linguist, and his first and last trip outside Italy was to Brazil in 1977. The conclave of August A.D. 1978 was the largest ever, and one of the shortest-it ended on the third ballot on the first day of voting. He had never been in the diplomatic service of the Church, nor had he served in the central headquarters in Rome. He was the first Pope, who ever used a double name, chose the names of his two immediate predecessors as a sign of continuity.. He was a pastoral pope proved by his instant rapport with people everywhere and by the sorrow caused by his sudden and wholly unexpected death on September 28, A.D. 1978. He had not had time even to outline the program of his pontificate.

Taken from Childhood Memories by Padre Bernardino Bucci: “After Luisa’s death, Aunt Rosaria increased her visits to San Giovanni Rotondo, in order to receive enlightenment and advice from Padre Pio. Aunt Rosaria was the one lamp that stayed alight to resolve Luisa Piccarreta’s case regarding the sentence of the Holy Office, visiting various ecclesiastical figures and, in addition, confronting the Congregation of the Holy Office. Once she managed – it is not known how – to enter the office of the Cardinal Prefect, Ottaviani, who heard her kindly and promised to take up the case. Indeed, a few days later, Aunt Rosaria was summoned by Archbishop Addazi of Trani, who said to her:"Miss Rosaria, I do not know whether to reprimand you or to admire you for your courage. You have faced the guard dog of the Church, the great defender of the faith, without being bitten". The conclusion was that permission was obtained to move Luisa’s body from the cemetery to the Church of Santa Maria Greca. Luisa said to my aunt: "You will be my witness" and one day Padre Pio told her point-blank in his Benevento dialect: "Rosa’, va nanz, va nanz ca Luisa iè gran e u munn sarà chin di Luisa" (Rosaria, go ahead, go ahead for Luisa is great and the world will be full of Luisa). My aunt often recounted this episode, but things were not going well: everything indicated that Luisa would soon be forgotten.

14 After the venerated Padre Pio’s death, my aunt said one day: "Padre Pio prophesied that Luisa would be known throughout the world". And she repeated the phrase Padre Pio had said in his dialect. I answered that there would be no easy solution to the case of Luisa Piccarreta Indeed nothing further was said of it in Corato either, and Padre Pio’s words could have been considered merely a comforting remark. But Aunt Rosaria retorted: "No! During my confession Padre Pio told me that Luisa is not a human factor, she is a work of God and he himself will make her emerge. The world will be astounded at her greatness; not many years will pass before this happens. The new millennium will see Luisa’s light". I was silent at this assertion and my aunt asked me: "But do you believe in Luisa?". I answered her that I did. Then she said to me: "Come to my house in a few days’ time, because I have something very important to tell you".* It was during the 70s and Padre Pio had been dead for a several years. *Aunt Rosaria’s secrete

Death of Rosaria

Aunt Rosaria died at eighty years in A.D. 1978 after only one day of illness, and after praying a beautiful prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Because of the extreme humility with which she lived, my aunt did not oppose her admission to the hospital, where my nephews brought her without her explicit consent. I and my sister Gemma, having learned the news of her hospitalization, immediately went to the hospital and assured Aunt Rosaria that tomorrow we would have her discharged, it not being immediately possible due to the late hour. She said goodbye to me as if she foreknew it would be the last time, and told me something that I have always kept in my heart.

I have the firm belief that Luisa came to take her personally, because some women told of things that puzzled me about the light and the fragrance that emanated from her body. What had happened in the hospital I had confirmation of at the cemetery, because the day after the funeral the whole family gathered for the customary second burial ceremony. The coffin was opened for the last time, and to the wonder of all Aunt Rosaria seemed to be sweetly sleeping. A soft and sweet fragrance came from her coffin, instead of the typical smell of death. It was such a wonder that all the relatives and acquaintances were called; those who were there, wanted to touch and kiss her body.

SAINT MALACHY PROPHECY - Pope John Paul I [1978-1978 (34 days)]—"DeMedietate lunae" (of the half moon). Real name: Albino Buciani. Buciani Half-way into his short reign, a lunar eclipse occurred. During the brief reign of John Paul I, the rise of Muslim extremism against the Gentile world exploded. The symbol of the is the crescent—the half moon.

15 *Aunt Rosaria’s secret

In 1975, on 2 February to be exact, Padre Bernardino Bucci had a meeting with his Aunt Rosaia,, having greeted her, asked her what it was she wanted to tell me that was so important. She looked at me and said: "What I am going to tell you now is of the utmost importance. Try to use it well and I urge you to meditate on the of the Lord who gave us Luisa, a precious creature in God’s eyes and an instrument of his mercy. You would find it hard to discover such a precious, great soul. Luisa goes beyond herself, and you can only contemplate her fully in God’s mystery. Mary was the One who brought redemption into the world with her Fiat, which is why the Lord enriched her in such a wonderful way that she became a creature who was raised to the dignity of Mother of God. Mary is the Mother of God, and no other creature will ever equal her in greatness and power; after God it is she alone who expresses the Lord’s marvels to the world. After Our Lady comes Luisa, who brings the world the third Fiat, the Fiat of Sanctification". She said this quietly, marking her words well, convinced of what she was asserting. I was overwhelmed by these assertions. "That is why Luisa was always nailed to her bed and every day offered to the Divine Majesty as a victim of expiation to God’s Most Holy Will", she continued. "God was pleased with this creature and so jealously guarded her that he removed her from human beings, entrusting her only to his Church, so that she could preserve her and humanly forge her with infinite penances and misunderstandings. My Luisa knew no human consolations but only divine ones; her body was continually suspended between heaven and earth, and her earthly life was a continuous contradiction in comparison with normal human lives. Even in her body, she had to belong entirely to God". She then confided to me:"One day the Lord said to Luisa: ‘all those who have seen and known you will be saved’".6 "Dear Peppino, this is an extraordinary gift of God and it has remained shrouded in silence because Luisa did not want knowledge of it broadcast, or she would have become the object of curiosity or veneration which, she said, she did not deserve. Except that one day her confessor told me that I could speak of it and spread it with discretion. Now I have told you, in the hope that you may be able to make good use of it". Rosaria’s death, almost unexpected, gave me no time to ask her further questions, which would have provided a clear explanation of what she had told me. Aunt Rosaria died in Jan. 29, A.D. 1978. Joseph Ratzinger was named Archbishop of Muinch and Freising and in March of 1977 elevated to Cardinal of Munich in June by Pope Paul VI. 16 “Luisa the Diocesan Cause”

He wrote the book “Crossing the Threshold of Hope” during the fifteenth year of his Church leadership. John Paul II was chosen as Time Magazine's 1994 Man of the Year. John Paul II has dedicated his papacy to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. His personal motto, Totus Tuus (Completely Yours), is a term illustrating the consecration of his life to the Blessed Virgin, a consecration that took place while he was still a Polish bishop. In a speech he gave as a pilgrim to Fatima on May 13, 1982, John Paul also conducted a service where he consecrated the world and, indirectly, Russia, to the .

SAINT MALACHY PROPHECY - Pope John Paul II [1978-2005]—"De Lobaore solis" (Of the eclipse of the sun) the phrase could also be interpreted as "from the toil of the sun." Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse in Poland. On April 8. 2005 during the funeral services for the pontiff, the world will experience an unusual hybrid eclipse of the Sun. It would appear that the eclipse of the sun fits far better than "from the toll of the sun." Amazingly, Pope John Paul II was the only pope who was both born the day of an eclipse of the sun, and entombed the day the sun was eclipsed.

One of Malachy's strangest predictions concerned the pope who would follow 'De Medietate Lunae'. He is designated as 'De Labore Solis', or 'from the toil of the sun'. Applied to John Paul II, this phrase reveals nothing less than a double prophecy. John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla), the first non-Italian elected in 456 years, was a native of Krakow, Poland. Krakow is the city where, in the 15th and 16th centuries, Copernicus 'toiled'; for years to prove his heretical theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Many of Malachy s interpreters also suggested that the 'sun' reference indicated a young pope. Fifty-eight years old at the time of his election, John Paul II was the youngest pope in over a century.

John Paul II was the most traveled Pope in history. He has circled the globe numerous times, preaching to huge audiences everywhere he goes. Even though he was once shot, he has not seemed to slow down. He has recently written a book which has enjoyed a large circulation. Like the sun which never ceases to labor and provides light daily, this Pope has been incessant. John Paul compared abortion to the Holocaust and denounced gay marriages as part of 'a new ideology of evil'. He argued that same-sex marriages threaten society by undermining the traditional family.

John Paul II was born on May 18, 1920. On that date in the morning there was a near total eclipse of the sun over Europe. Prophecy - The 110th Pope is 'De Labore Solis' (Of the Solar Eclipse, or, From the Toil of the Sun). The corresponding pope is John Paul II (1978-2005). Karol Wojtyla (John Paul II) was born on May 18, 1920 during an eclipse of the sun. Like the sun he came out of the East (Poland). Like the sun he has visited countries all around the globe while doing his work. Karol was the first non-Italian pope in 456 years. He was ordained on November 1, 1946 and earned a doctorate in ethics at the Angelicum University in Rome. He was made auxiliary bishop in 1958 and Archbishop in 1964 of Krakow and Cardinal in 1967. He was elected the first Polish pope on October 1978. He spoke eight languages and he traveled more than any other pope in history. John Paul II died at the Vatican on Saturday, April 2, 2005, the same day as a partial eclipse, visible in the Americas.

18 “Luisa the Roman Cause”

Pope Benedict XVI April 19, 2005 – February 28, 1913

Pope Benedict XVI - Luisa’s cause is officially opened at the Roman level On March 7th, A.D. 2006 three days after the 59th anniversary of Luisa’s passage to Heaven Luisa’s cause was officially opened in Rome. The official seals on the cases containing the documents from the Archdiocese of Trani were broken and the cases opened by the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. In attendance were Padre Bernardino Bucci and the Vicar General of Trani Msgr. Savino Giannotti.

Mass Reading for March 7, 2006 - Matthew 6: 7 - 15 7 "And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread; 12 And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors; 13 And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Pope Benedict XVI was born in Marktlam Inn, Germany, April 16, 1927 -- Holy Saturday that year -- and being baptized on Easter in the newly blessed waters. Note: Luisa on February 28, A.D. 1899 was given the obedience to write. Pope Benedict XVI is due to step down officially on February 28 2013

Volume 12 - October 16, 1918 - He predicts wars and the lot of some countries. …..Now I want to tell you something consoling. Italy and now lose, while Germany wins. All nations have some black stains, and all of them deserve humiliations and crushings. There will be a general uproar - confusion everywhere. I will renew the world with the sword, with fire and with water, with sudden deaths, and with contagious diseases. I will make new things. The nations will form a sort of tower of Babel; they will reach the point of being unable to understand one another; the peoples will revolt among themselves; they will no longer want kings. All will be humiliated, and peace will come only from Me. And if you hear them say ‘peace’, that will not be true, but apparent. Once I have purged everything, I will place my finger in a surprising way, and I will give the true Peace. Then, all those who are humiliated will return to Me. Germany will be Catholic; I have great designs upon for her. England, Russia, and all the places where blood has been shed, will rise again to Faith, and will be incorporated into my Church. There will be great triumph and union among peoples. Therefore, pray – and it takes patience, because this will not be so soon, but it will take time.”

SAINT MALACHY PROPHECY - De Gloria Olivae/From the Glory of the Olives: The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the , will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil.

It was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, dean of the College of Cardinals, close confidant of John Paul II, celebrant of the last pope's funeral, and keeper of the flame who became the 265th pontiff. He is a man who will maintain an accent on orthodoxy as well as on the Blessed Mother -- whom he mentioned right away in his first moments as pontiff. 19 The name Benedict seemed a strong signal on many levels. It was St. Benedict who was noted for his strong power against the devil -- this important at a time of heightened spiritual warfare -- and the order Benedict founded, the , is also known as the "Olivetans." St. Benedict prophesied that the last pope would be from that order.

February 14, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Since Pope Benedict’s shock announcement Monday, I have held off commenting. Time was needed to step back and consider just what this astounding action from the world's leading defender of life and family really meant. It was an earthquake announcement that had to have greater significance than the Pope merely being tired and worn out. The two lightening strikes onto the dome of St. Peter’s that evening added an uncanny emphasis that the Pope’s action demanded the world’s attention.

So, really, why did Pope Benedict suddenly announce that he would abdicate the ministry of Successor of St. Peter in only 17 days? It is nearly impossible for me to believe that the reasons are as simple as Benedict has stated (although I believe that he is indeed very tired and barely able to carry on which we saw on our last 2 visits to Rome). There are clues.

Robert Moynihan, a reliable, long-time Vatican observer and Founder of Inside the Vatican magazine, also finds himself unsettled about the Pope’s announcement and wrote in his Feb. 12 report:

“Are there facts the Pope has weighed in making this decision that we simply don't know about, or don't know fully? … Does the Pope have information about the possible course of events in the months ahead that led him to conclude that he needed to allow a younger, more energetic man to take over his office from him, so that the Church's highest authority could take action quickly and decisively as events unfold?” Those are my same questions. This great and yet exceptionally humble and gentle man’s fatigue has come about from much more than aging.

Reading other commentators and looking to our own LifeSiteNews experiences have revealed a ferocious battle going on within the Catholic Church and a notably rising tide of hatred towards authentic Christianity from outside. Moreover, a comment from Benedict yesterday, adds to the impression that resignation was decided for strategic reasons. A new pope had to be quickly chosen because of the pace of alarming events both within and outside the Church.

During his Ash Wednesday , Benedict stated: “I am thinking in particular of the sins against the unity of the Church,of the divisions in the body of the Church.” And then we should remember these words from his first mass as Pope: “Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves.”

Is he fleeing from the wolves, especially those within the Church, who he knew would inevitably, incessantly attack him during his pontificate? Very doubtful. They have been even more ferocious than he anticipated in response to his determined rolling back of some of the chaos that followed Vatican II and his strong rebukes to all the elements of the Culture of Death. Benedict’s resignation should instead, in my opinion, be seen as a deeply humbling self-sacrifice to pave the way for an urgently needed stronger pope and stronger Church…

Book of Heaven, Volume 3 - March 17, 1900 - Sorrow of the Pope. Humility. This morning blessed Jesus made me see the Holy Father with open wings, going in search of his children in order to gather them under his wings; and I could hear his laments, saying:

My children, my children, how many times have I tried to gather you under my wings - and you escape me! O please! Listen to my moans, and have compassion for my sorrow!? And while saying this, he cried bitterly. It seemed that it was not only the secular that were moving away from the Pope, but also priests, and these gave greater sorrow to the Holy Father. How pitiful it was to see the Pope in this position! After this, I saw Jesus who echoed the laments of the Holy Father, and added:

Few are those who have remained faithful, and these few live like foxes withdrawn inside their dens. They are afraid to expose themselves in order to pull their children away from the mouths of the wolves. They speak, they propose, but those are all words thrown to the wind, they never come to deeds.

Having said this, He disappeared. After a little while He came back. I felt all annihilated within myself in the presence of Jesus, and He, seeing me annihilated, told me: “My daughter, the more you lower yourself within yourself, the more I feel drawn to lower Myself toward you, and to fill you with my grace. Here is how humility is bearer of light.?

LUISA, THE LITTLE DAUGHTER OF THE DIVINE WILL Corato (Bari, Italy), 1924

…And in the first place, I appeal to the HIGHEST HIERARCH, to the ROMAN PONTIFF, to HIS HOLINESS, to the representative of the Holy Church, and therefore the representative of the KINGDOM OF THE DIVINE WILL. At his holy feet, this little, tiny child places this Kingdom, so that he dominate It and make It known, and with his paternal and authoritative voice, call his sons to live in this Kingdom so holy.

May the Sun of the SUPREME "FIAT" invest him and form the first Sun of the Divine Volition in Its Representative on earth; and forming Its primary Life in Him who is the Head of all, It will spread Its interminable rays in all the world; and eclipsing all with Its Light, It will form one flock and one Shepherd 21 Book of Heaven - Volume 24 - October 3, A.D. 1928 Exchange between Jerusalem and Rome. In creating man, God placed as many seeds of happiness in him for as many things as He created. My poor mind was thinking about many things regarding the Divine Will – especially about how Its Kingdom could come, how It could spread… and many other things which it is not necessary to write on paper. And my beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, if Rome has the primacy of my Church, she owes it to Jerusalem, because the beginning of Redemption was precisely in Jerusalem. In that homeland, from the little town of Nazareth I chose my Virgin Mother; I Myself was born in the little town of Bethlehem, and all of my Apostles were from that homeland. And even though, ungrateful, she did not want to recognize Me and rejected the goods of my Redemption, it cannot be denied that the origin, the beginning, the first people who received the good of It, were from this city. The first criers of the , those who established Catholicism in Rome, were my Apostles, all from Jerusalem – that is, from this homeland. Now there will be an exchange: if Jerusalem gave to Rome the life of religion and therefore of Redemption, Rome will give to Jerusalem the Kingdom of the Divine Will. This is so true, that just as I chose a Virgin from the little town of Nazareth for the Redemption, so I have chosen another virgin in a little town of Italy belonging to Rome, to whom the mission of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat has been entrusted. And since this must be known in Rome just as my coming upon earth was known in Jerusalem, Rome will have the great honor of requiting Jerusalem for the great gift received from her, which is Redemption, by making known to her the Kingdom of my Will. Then will Jerusalem repent of her ingratitude, and will embrace the life of the religion which she gave to Rome; and, grateful, she will receive from Rome the life and the great gift of the Kingdom of my Divine Will. And not only Jerusalem, but all of the other nations will receive from Rome the great gift of the Kingdom of my Fiat, the first criers of It, Its gospel - all full of peace, of h From St. Bosco 's Dreams -The Triumph of The Immaculate Heart The first dream we discuss occurred in 1862: "The vast expanse of water is covered with a formidable array of ships in battle formation, prows fitted with sharp, spear-like beaks capable of breaking through any defense. All are heavily armed with cannons, incendiary bombs, and firearms of all sorts - even books - and are heading towards one stately ship, mightier than them all. As they close in, they try to ram it, set it afire, and cripple it as much as possible.

"This stately vessel is shielded by a flotilla escort. Winds and waves are with the enemy. In the midst of this endless sea, two solid columns, a short distance apart, soar high into the sky: one is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin at whose feet a large inscription reads: Help of Christians; the other, far loftier and sturdier, supports a Host of proportionate size and beneath it bears the inscription: Salvation of believers.

"Standing at the helm, the Pope strains every muscle to steer his ship between the two columns from whose summits hang many anchors and strong hooks linked to chains.

"The entire enemy fleet closes in to intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs, firearms, cannons. At times a formidable ram splinters a gaping hole into the hull, but, immediately, a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash.

"Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped up but, struck down a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the enemy and wild rejoicing sweeps their ships. But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope's death coincides with that of his successor's election. The enemy's self-assurance wanes.

"Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns and moors it to the two columns; first, to the one surmounted by the Host, and then to the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. At this point, something unexpected happens. The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling each other."

Book of Heaven, Volume 4 - January 5, A.D. 1901 The Humanity of Jesus was made on purpose to obey, and to destroy disobedience; Luisa refreshes Jesus. …"My daughter, how much men offend Me - but the time will come when I will chastise them in such a way that many little worms will come out, which will produce clouds of mosquitoes that will render them greatly oppressed. Then, afterwards, the Pope will come out." And I: ‘And why will the Pope come out?’ And He: "He will come out to console the peoples, because, oppressed, tired, crushed, betrayed by so many lies, they themselves will look for the harbor of truth, and all humiliated, they will ask the Holy Father to come into their midst to free them from so many evils and place them in the harbor of safety." And I: ‘Lord, will this perhaps happen after the wars You have spoken about the other times?’ And He: "Yes." 22 Volume 3 - November 1,A.D. 1899 Purification of the Church; Her support: the victim souls.

As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, inside a church, in which there was a priest celebrating the Divine Sacrifice, and while doing this, he was crying bitterly and said:

The pillar of my Church has no place to lean!

In the act in which He was saying this, I saw a pillar; its top touched the heavens, and at the bottom of this pillar there were priests, bishops, cardinals and all other dignities, sustaining this pillar. But to my surprise, I went about looking and I saw that of these people, some were very weak, some half rotten, some infirm, some full of mud. So very scarce was the number of those who were in a condition to sustain it. So, this poor pillar kept swaying, unable to remain still, so many were the quakes it received from the bottom.

At the top of this pillar there was the Holy Father who, with gold chains and with rays emanating from his whole person, did as much as he could to sustain it, and to chain and illuminate the people who dwelled at the bottom, although some of them would flee so as to be more comfortable in becoming rotten and covered with mud; and not only this, but he did as much as he could to bind and to illuminate the whole world.

While I was seeing this, that priest who was celebrating Mass (I am not sure whether he was a priest or Our Lord; it seems to me it was Him, but I cannot tell with certainty) called me close to Himself and told me:

My daughter, see in what a heartrending state my Church is. The very ones who were supposed to sustain Her withdraw, and with their works they knock Her down, they beat Her, and reach the point of denigrating Her. The only remedy is that I cause so much blood to be shed as to form a bath to wash away that rotten mud and to heal their deep wounds, so that, healed, strengthened and embellished in that blood, they may become instruments capable of keeping Her stable and firm.? Then He added:

I have called you to tell you: Do you want to be victim, and therefore be like a prop to sustain this pillar in these times so incorrigible?

At first I felt a shiver run through me for fear that I might not have the strength, but then immediately I offered myself and I pronounced the Fiat. At that moment, I found myself surrounded by many Saints, Angels and purging souls, who tormented me with scourges and other instruments. At first I felt a certain fear, but then, the more I suffered, the more I wanted to suffer, and I enjoyed the suffering like a most sweet nectar; more so, since a thought touched me:

Who knows whether those pains might be the means to consume my life, so that I might take wing in the last flight toward my highest and only Good?? But to my highest sorrow, after suffering bitter pains, I saw that those pains would not consume my life. Oh God, what pain! that this fragile flesh prevents me from uniting myself to my Eternal Good! After this, I saw the bloody slaughter that was made of the people who were at the bottom of the pillar.

What a horrible catastrophe! So very scarce was the number of those who would not be victims; they reached such daringness as to try to kill the Holy Father. But then, it seemed to me that that blood which was shed and those bloody tormented victims were the means to render those who remained strong, so as to sustain the pillar without letting it sway any more. Oh, what happy days! After this, days of triumphs and of peace would arise; the face of the earth seemed to be renewed, and the pillar would acquire its original prestige and splendor. Oh, happy days! - I hail you from afar, days which will give great glory to my Church, and great honor to the God who is Her Head!

Volume 4 - September 4, A.D> 1902 - The confessor asks Jesus not to let her die. … Now, while He was saying this, I saw the Church and the Pope, and part of It was leaning on my shoulders; and I also saw the confessor who pressed Jesus not to take me for now. And the blessed Lord said: "Evils are most grave, and sins are about to reach such a point as no longer to deserve victim souls – that is, the ones who sustain and protect the world before Me. If this point touches Justice, indeed I will take her with Me." So I understood I went through and suffered. I thought I would never again get out from the midst of those diabolical spirits; however, after staying there almost one whole night, divine protection freed me. that things are conditional. 23 Volume 27 - January 30, A.D. 1930 As Redemption unfolded, so will the Kingdom of the Divine Will unfold. Analogy between the two of them. Leap of joy and of sorrow of Jesus. I was thinking about how the Kingdom of the Divine Will could come upon earth, and in what way It may unfold. Who will be the first fortunate ones to have such a great good? And my sweet Jesus, making Himself seen, clasped me all to Himself, and giving me three kisses, told me:

“My daughter, in the same way as the Kingdom of Redemption unfolded, so will the Kingdom of my Will unfold. It can be said that Redemption is making Its round throughout the whole world, a round which It has not yet entirely completed, because not all the peoples know about my coming upon earth, and therefore they are without its goods. Redemption keeps preparing and disposing the peoples for the Kingdom of my Divine Will. So, just as my Redemption had Its beginning, not in the whole world, but in the center of Judea, because in this nation there was the little core of those who were awaiting Me, there was She whom I had chosen as Mother, and Saint Joseph, who was to be my foster father - in this nation I had manifested Myself to the prophets by letting them know that I was going to come upon earth; it was right that, there where this was known, they be the first ones to have Me in their midst; and even though they were ungrateful, and many did not want to know Me, yet, who can deny that my Celestial Mama, the Apostles, the disciples, were from the Jewish nation, and that they were the first criers who exposed their lives to make known to the other nations my coming upon earth and the goods which are in my Redemption? – so it will be for the Kingdom of my Divine Fiat: the towns, the provinces, the kingdom, which will have been the first to know the knowledges about my Divine Will and Its expressed Will of wanting to come to reign in the midst of creatures, will be the first to receive the goods that Its Kingdom will bring. And then, making Its way with Its knowledges, It will do Its round in the midst of the human generations. My daughter, there is much analogy between the way in which Redemption unfolded and the way in which the Kingdom of my Divine Will will unfold.

See, in my Redemption I chose a Virgin; in appearance She had no importance according to the world, either of riches, or of height of dignity or positions which would indicate Her; the very city of Nazareth was not important – a tiny little house was Her whole abode. But even though I chose Her from Nazareth, I wanted for it to belong to the capital city, Jerusalem, in which there was the body of the pontiffs and priests who then represented Me and announced my laws. For the Kingdom of my Divine Will I have chosen another virgin who, in appearance, has no importance, either of great riches or of height of dignity; the very city of Corato is not an important city, but it belongs to Rome, in which resides my representative on earth, the Roman Pontiff, from whom come my divine laws; and just as he makes it his duty to make my Redemption known to the peoples, so will he make it his duty to make known the Kingdom of my Divine Will. It can be said that one and the other will proceed in the same way and manner, as the Kingdom of my Supreme Fiat must unfold.”

24 March 19 A.D. 2013 – Saint Joseph Spouse of Mary

Saint Joseph in the Kingdom of the Divine Will Saint Joseph, you will be my protector, the guardian of my heart, and will keep the keys of my will in your hands. You will keep my heart jealously and shall never give it to me again, that I may be sure of never leaving the Will of God

December 25, A.D. 1900 …Who can tell the beauty of the Little Baby who, at the moment of His birth, transfused, also externally, the rays of the Divinity? Who can tell the beauty of the Mother, who remained all absorbed in those Divine rays? And Saint Joseph? It seemed to me that he was not present at the act of the birth, but remained in another corner of the cave, all engrossed in that profound Mystery. And if he did not see with the eyes of the body, he saw very well with the eyes of the soul, because he remained enraptured in sublime ecstasy.

December 26, A.D. 1900 As I continued to see the Holy Baby, I saw the Queen Mother on one side and Saint Joseph on the other, adoring the Divine Infant profoundly. Being all intent on Him, it seemed to me that the continuous presence of the Little Baby kept them engrossed in continuous ecstasy; and if they could work, it was a prodigy that the Lord operated in them; otherwise they would have remained motionless, unable to attend to their external duties. I too did my adoration, and then I found myself inside myself.

December 25, A.D. 1920 …However, know that my Sacramental lot is even harder than my lot as an Infant. Though cold, the grotto was spacious, and had air to breathe; the Host too is cold, but so small that I almost lack air. In the grotto I had a manger with a little hay for bed; in my Sacramental Life, I don’t even have hay, and I have nothing but hard and ice cold metals for bed. In the grotto I had my dear Mama who took Me very often with her most pure hands, covered Me with ardent kisses in order to warm Me, soothed my crying, and nourished Me with her most sweet milk. In my Sacramental Life it is all the opposite: I do not have a Mama; if they take Me, I feel the touch of unworthy hands which smell like earth and muck. Oh! how I feel their stench - more than the manure I smelled in the grotto. Instead of covering Me with kisses, they touch Me with irreverent acts; instead of milk, they give Me the bile of sacrileges, of indifference, and of coldness. In the grotto, Saint Joseph never left Me without the light of a little lantern at night. Here in the Sacrament, how many times I remain in the dark also at night! Oh, how much more painful is my Sacramental lot! How many hidden tears, not seen by anyone. How many wails not listened to. If my lot as an Infant moved you to pity, much more should my Sacramental lot move you to pity.” 25 March 24 A.D. 2013 – PALM SUNDAY - March 28, 2010

Eighteenth Hour of the Rounds of the Divine Will The soul follows Jesus in His entrance into Jerusalem, and asks Him for the victory of the Divine Will over the human. She then follows Him in the institution of the Sacraments.

Celestial Lover, my "I love You" follows You in the triumphant entrance You made into Jerusalem. I impress my "I love You" in the branches of the palm trees, in the mantles that they lay at your feet, in the cries of hosanna that the crowds make for You - to ask You for the triumph of your Will. My Divine King, your look of victorious conqueror seems to want to give me happy news. O please! make me content – tell the little child of your Will that the Kingdom of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven will come.

"Today is the Day of the Palms, in which I was acclaimed as King. Everyone must aspire to a kingdom, and in order to acquire the Eternal Kingdom, it is necessary for the creature to acquire regime over himself and the dominion of his own passions. The only means is suffering, because suffering means reigning – that is, with patience one puts himself in place, becoming King of oneself and of the Eternal Kingdom" (Book of Heaven - Apr.19, 1905)

My Love, I cling to You, and as You institute the Sacraments I place my "I love You" in each Baptism, to ask You by virtue of It, for the Fiat Voluntas Tua for each baptized. I bring my "I love You" in the Sacrament of Confirmation, to ask You, in each confirmee, for the victory of your Divine Will. My "I love You" seals the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, to ask You, in each of the dying, for a last act of their life in your Divine Will. My Jesus, my "I love You" is impressed in the Sacrament of Ordination, to ask You for Priests of your Will, and for your Kingdom within them. My "I love You" extends in the Sacrament of Matrimony, to ask You for families formed in your Divine Fiat. My "I love You" rises in the Sacrament of Confession, to ask You, in each Confession, for death to sin and for the life of your Divine Will. My Life, Jesus, my "I love You" will never leave You – it will be eternal with You.

March 31, A.D. 1901… He transported me outside of myself, and I saw that the Church was celebrating the Day of the Palms; and Jesus, breaking the silence, told me: “How much volubility, how much inconstancy! Just as today they cried out ‘Hosanna!’, proclaiming Me as their King, on another day they cried out ‘Crucify Him! Crucify Him!’ My daughter, the thing that displeases Me the most is inconstancy and volubility, because this is the sign that the truth has not taken possession of these souls. Even in things of religion, it may be that they find their satisfaction, their own convenience and interest, or that they just find themselves in that party; but tomorrow these things may be missing, or they may find themselves involved in other parties - and here is how they deviate from religion, and with no regret they give themselves to other sects. Indeed, when the true light of Truth enters a soul and takes possession of a heart, she is not subject to inconstancy. On the contrary, she sacrifices everything for love of It and to let herself be mastered by It alone; and with unconquered heart she despises everything else which does not belong to the Truth.” And while saying this, He cried over the condition of the present generation, worse than in those times, subject to inconstancy according to wherever the winds blow.

26 March 29 A.D. 2013 – Friday of the Passion of the Lord

(24 Hours),… I present to You my Heart; crushed, pressed and broken under the press of all of the moments of my mortal life. Ah observe my Father, that this is the Heart that has Loved You with infinite Love and that has always been burned with Love for my brothers, your children in Me. This is the generous Heart with which I have longed to suffer, to give You complete satisfaction for all the sins of men. Have pity on its desolations, on its continual heartaches, on its anguishes, on its tediums and its sadnesses in the face of death. Oh my Father, was there, perhaps, one single beat of my Heart that did not seek your Glory and the salvation of my brothers at the cost of pains and of Blood? Did there not come forth from this always oppressed Heart of mine the ardent supplications, the groanings, the sighs and the strong cries with which for thirty-four years I have wept and cried out for Mercy in your Presence?

"Oh Father, You have heard Me for an infinitude of times and of souls; and I give You infinite thanks. But look, oh my Father, see how my Heart cannot be calmed in its pains if even one single soul must flee from its Love: because, We Love a single soul as much as all souls together. …

27 March 31 A.D. 2013 – Easter Sunday

Book of Heaven April 15, A.D. 1919 - The Resurrected Humanity of Jesus, symbol of those who will live in His Will

…..Now, the portent of my Redemption was the Resurrection, which, more than refulgent Sun, crowned my Humanity, making even my most tiny acts shine, with such splendor and marvel as to astonish Heaven and earth. The Resurrection will be the beginning, the foundation and the fulfillment of all goods - crown and glory of all the Blessed. My Resurrection is the true Sun which worthily glorifies my Humanity; It is the Sun of the Catholic Religion; It is the glory of every Christian. Without Resurrection, it would have been as though heavens without Sun, without heat and without life. Now, my Resurrection is the symbol of the souls who will form their Sanctity in my Will. The Saints of the past centuries symbolize my Humanity. Although resigned, they did not have continuous act in my Will; therefore, they did not receive the mark of the Sun of my Resurrection, but the mark of the works of my Humanity before my Resurrection. Therefore, they will be many; almost like stars, they will form a beautiful ornament to the Heaven of my Humanity. But the Saints of the living in my Will, who will symbolize my Resurrected Humanity, will be few. In fact, many throngs and crowds of people saw my Humanity, but few saw my Resurrected Humanity - only the believers, those who were most disposed, and, I could say, only those who contained the seed of my Will. In fact, if they did not have that seed, they would have lacked the necessary sight to be able to see my Resurrected and glorious Humanity, and therefore be spectators of my ascent into Heaven.

Now, if my Resurrection symbolizes the Saints of the living in my Will - and this with reason, since each act, word, step, etc. done in my Will is a Divine resurrection that the soul receives; it is a mark of glory that she receives; it is to go out of herself in order to enter the Divinity, and to love, work and think, hiding herself in the refulgent Sun of my Volition - what is the wonder, if the soul remains fully risen and identified with the very Sun of my Glory, and symbolizes my Resurrected Humanity? But few are those who dispose themselves to this, because even in sanctity, souls want something for their own good; while the Sanctity of living in my Will has nothing of its own - everything is of God. It takes too much for souls to dispose themselves to this - to strip themselves of their own goods. Therefore, they will not be many. You are not in the number of the many, but of the few. Therefore, be always attentive to the call, and to your continuous flight.” 28 Book of Heaven – March 22, A.D. 1938 – The last sign of Love at the point of death. “My Goodness is such, wanting everyone saved, that I allow the falling of these walls when the creatures find themselves between life and death – at the moment in which the soul exits the body to enter eternity – so that they may do at least one act of contrition and of love for Me, recognizing my adorable Will upon them. I can say that I give them one hour of truth, in order to rescue them. Oh, if all knew my industries of love, which I perform in the last moment of their life, so that they may not escape from my more than Paternal hands – they would not wait for that moment, but they would love Me all their life.”

DEO GRATIAS!

Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, “May the Kingdom of Your Divine Will come, May Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!” Saint Annibale, “Pray for us, Oh Lord, Send Holy Apostles into Your Church!” God, our Father, please send us holy priests, all for the sacred and eucharistic heart of Jesus, all for the sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary, in union with saint Joseph. Amen. Contact Website: www.padrebucci.com
