I’m reading the book of heaven, just a peasant woman from Iran, a convert from Islam but I feel the deep profound love Luisa had for our Lord Jesus and Mary most holy and their immense love for her. She showed her obedience and love by living it as she says depriving herself from walking, sleeping, working, eating and all and all as a victim soul to teach us the power of sacrifice and Jesus our Lord provided for her a bishop to have holy mass at her little apartment so she can receive Him daily, now that’s real true love as it is in heaven. Father Celso explains beautifully the significance of Luisa’s actions. Everyone should read the book of heaven. I love her because she loved our God with His love, she love Holy Mother with her love and showing us only with their love we can love them as they deserved to be loved. Our human love don’t measure up not even close. Fiat!

[@flowergirl3438]

I have been reading the Book of Heaven and I'm on volume 20. I love the little lessons Jesus gives us and how He fills us with more light as we learn. Every time I read, I say to Jesus, thank you so much for this book and thank you for loving us so much. He fills my heart with so much joy and I cannot wait till everyone knows and loves the Divine Will. What a beautiful gift God has in store for us. Fiat.

My identical twin sister Laurie, was a big devotee of Luisa Picaretta. A few days after she died, a friend of hers came over to see me. The friend gave me a book called “The 24 Hours of the Passion of Jesus Christ”. Paula told me that Laurie had this book with her all the time, and that she attended Eucharist Adoration frequently. Weeks after I returned home from her funeral, I started looking at this book. In the back is a bibliography of Luisa Picaretta. To my awe I discovered that Laurie died on the very same day as Luisa. March 4th. Luisa was born on April23, the same day as Laurie’s youngest child, Kelly. Luisa was from the very same province in Italy as Kelly’s husband’s family!! It was amazing . I miss my twin more than I can ever express. She became more holy during the two years after her husband’s death March 8. I remember her telling me so often that this is not our home. She told me to be the hands and feet of Christ to the dying. I think I’m going to read this book. Please pray for me as I struggle a lot with her being gone, and in March it will be six years since she died. God bless all who are reading this. Praise to Jesus that we have a Savior!!!

I'm so sorry for the pain you feel on the separation from your sister. She left you with an amazing gift in that book, use it to honor her. She is waiting for you, and the book is your way to her. Blessing to you! Forever in Christ!

I went to one divine will prayer meeting invited by a friend. There was hyper focus on Luisa and also a woman who is currently alive that they played recordings of speaking of the divine will. They changed the words to well known Catholic prayers also. Something inside me felt like this was very off. Far more focused on the messangers then the message of God. I did some research afterward and decided this group wasn't for me. Maybe it was this particular group doing it wrong but I will stick with fully approved devotions. The church has many.

There’s a difference between doing the Divine Will & having the Divine Will. Some of her writings were placed in the Index of Forbidden Books & never taken off until the Index was abolished in 1966. The Holy Office wrote, "the three books covered by this decree would not have ordinarily merited particular consideration, in view of their small size and limited weight. But they were condemned because they represent a false and dangerous mysticism which is frequent in our days. The principal subject of the writings of Luisa Piccarreta is the Divine Will, conceived in an exaggerated and erroneous manner and presented in language and terminology super-abounding with inexactitudes and extravagances. The small volumes in question have already appeared in numerous editions and have been translated into other languages... For this reason it was opportune to put the faithful on their guard.”

Chris, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea recently banned all prayer meetings and homilies related to Luisa Piccarreta's Spirituality of the Divine Will stating that they deemed her writings to be erroneous because of their sensationalism, violation of the Magisterium, and her self- portrayal as almost a similar figure as Our Lady.

To imitate Christ in everything including to die to self, not my will but yours, God. -Pray (meditate on) the words Jesus created in the Our Father with reverence. It is the Gospel and the Mass in short form -The morning offering is the time to give Christ the driver’s seat for your day. Lord, I give you permission to work through me this day in any way you wish, I ask that you give me the grace to see your handiwork, so I may give you the credit and the glory -Consecrate yourself to the Holy family -Read the daily Mass readings coupled with In Conversation with God for further understanding of their teaching -Go to Mass more often during the week -Go to Adoration several times a week (even if all you do is pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy) -Go to confession at least twice monthly and confess your venial sins (do a proper self examination beforehand) -Pray the Rosary daily -Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily -Realize everything you have/own is from God, every good idea is inspired by God, you own nothing.

Father John Hardon passed some 30 years ago…..

[@TheNarrowGate101]

@@francesrosecarmel are you aware this Divine Will movement has been around since mid 1900’s. Fr. Most dies in the year 2000. In a letter to Catholics United for the Faith, Father John A. Hardon, S.J., wrote: "In my judgment, the underlying premises of Luisa’s writings are not consistent with the magisterial teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. Thus she claims that all we have to do is abandon our own will to the Divine Will, which can be found everywhere. There is an emphasis on complete passivity of the soul in Luisa’s writings. The result is a promotion of Quietism, which was condemned by the Church in the 17th century. "Luisa’s writings openly promote the idea that she has received a new revelation. The faithful must accept this revelation to achieve the new way of holiness which equated the sanctity of Luisa Piccarreta with the sanctity of the Mother of God. "According to Luisa, once a person receives this 'new sacrament' of the Divine Will, the human will, in effect, acts in such a way that the action is purely divine. This basic error was taught in the early centuries of Christianity and became a cardinal principle of the absolute predestination of such founders of Protestantism as John Calvin. "If necessary, I shall be happy to provide further and more detailed analysis of the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. For the present, I will only quote from the formal letter of His Excellency, Andrew J. McDonald, Bishop of Little Rock, Arkansas. He wrote to Father James E. Mancini, 'By this letter, I forbid either the public or the private promotion of the Kingdom of the Divine Will Movement in the Diocese of Little Rock.'" The bishop’s letter was dated November 26, 1997.

@@legiomariae4961 Everything we need, yes. But He is not stingy, and gives us more to help us in these dark times. That is why we have NEW canonized saints. If they were not "helpful" to us, the Church would not still be holding canonization ceremonies to hold up people for our emulation--even millenia after He left, and after the deposit of faith was completed. Don't you think having St. Pio has been helpful to your faith and the Church's faith, even though we did not "need" him? What about St. Therese? Again, just because we do not "need" it, does not mean it is not helpful or desired by our Lord. Otherwise, what was the point of Our Lady going to St. Bernadette at Lourdes? Or St. Juan Diego at Guadalupe? After all, the deposit of faith was completed already by then, right?? But still, over 20,000 Native indigenous souls agreed to baptism and salvation in their conversion at the message of Our Lady to Juan Diego, and that has been a great gift to the Church, many believe, and the Church has said that incident is "worthy of belief."

But then I hesitated because I thought how can I explain something so grandiose and immense in a nutshell!! You can’t I don’t think anyone can … but more graces ( more Divine Light) has being given right now..anyways and I thought plus he probably wouldn’t believe me who am I but nothing ..just a worm.. so I left it up to the Divine Will for he knows best and at what time so I just did what they call around praying that the Divine will come and his Kingdom cone reign in the heart of Father Chris and in all his consecrated priest throughout his Church and in all of humanity each and every soul past present and future in every generation. And Look! Now it happened !! Because it’s what the Divine Will wants but it will be up to our free will to say yes or no … Everyone have a Blessed Day and give him life in you and in all if your daily acts but READ READ READ for you are The Kingdom !! Interestingly my Father told me some if this as a child it’s all backed up by the catechism … the problem is that we are so poor we don’t know our Faith… read the catechism !!

Thank you for this very interesting exchange about the Divine Will devotion. I read and watched several videos (from the official DW channel and Daniel's), and downloaded some materials to study it more seriously. Some of the claims that Luisa makes made me feel uneasy as they sounded a little bit "new agey", e.g., almost saying she is kind of the next Virgin Mary and presenting Luisa as quasi-divinized. I felt very unconfortable going through some of the meditations this devotion proposes, so I'd rather stay away from it. Maybe I am not yet prepared, only God knows. But having such wonderful devotions and teachers from that past as Sta. Teresa, St. Bonaventure, St. Agustin, etc. the Sacred Heart ... I guess I'll stick to those. I would just recommend anyone wondering about the Divine Will devotion to approach it slowly and carefully, to watch their thoughts and preferably to do it under the guidance of an experienced spiritual director.

These are some salient characteristics that the followers of the LP cult are not the children of Light, Our Savior, Jesus Christ: they demonstrate superiority, even spiritual vanity than humility (the most emphasized virtue drawing us closer to God by saints through approved revelations by the Church); instigate arguments or disparities than unity among the faithful (including consecrated persons such as priests and nuns); bring confusion than clarity (for example, spreading the Divine Will teachings by LP even at caenacolo prayer meetings by the leading priest in South Korea); and finally, no obedience to wait for the final decision under the Magisterium.

[@legiomariae4961]

Cult is a good choice of words. Previously the faithful who had devotions to Saints used prudence, modesty and decorum. All LP followers I have met or conversed with online are almost obsessive about it - not just in their own lives but pushing it upon others with a complete lack of virtue.

It hurts to see the devision among the faithful though.

From what I understand, St Annibale's letter talking about some errors in writings, was in response to a priest who was publishing another mystic's writings without first getting them approved. St Annibale was all about following proper procedure and being obedient to the church, so he was warning this priest about publishing things that had not yet been reviewed. But this was not a response towards Luisa.

[@maremare1655]

I'm 63 yr old and my mother died in 2020. I loved her so much, we were never far apart. I remember maybe 15 -20 yrs ago our parish installed this picture of Jesus (Divine Mercy Picture), then I heard about Divine Mercy Chaplet and I was drawn to it, but I didn't know the origins. I remember my mom those years ago saying to me something like. "I'm still not sure of this Chaplet and Sr.Faustina is it trying to take the place of the Rosary, I've read a little of her diary and some of the things she says are so ordinary...". In early 2020 I came upon Rev Fr Oluoma Chinenye through KZbin and his numerous sermons. This Fr Oluoma is in Nigeria and is Divine Mercy chaplet recitation but I have never heard sermons with such authority and charity, I think they are destined to go down in history. He is a saint. The first sermon I heard was on prayer and the Our Father. Now 2022 I came upon The Delorous Passion? Sr.Emmerich sp?), I read the book and gave it to others to read. Now 2024 am hearing about Divine Will. Just amazing to me. God raises the lowly.

Thanks for sharing the Divine Mercy chaplet is the Rosary on training wheels. 3 pm Jesus suffered on the cross for 3 hours without any consolation . The Spanish when saying the rosary the first three beads of the rosaries symbolize the birth of Jesus before during after. Your mom mentioned St Faustina could be trying to take the place of the Rosary funny I was just thinking of this with the Divine Will just trying to take the place of the Divine Mercy chaplet amazing. When you think about it's just another path to adore the Mother of God the Blessed Virgin Mary as any mother or wife or daughter would never get tired of someone telling them they love them. Catholic Nigeria had a catholic priest that saw in a vision Jesus handing him a sword and the sword turned into a golden rosary suggesting the weapon against the devil is the Rosary. Mel Gibson's movie Passion of the Christ was based on the writings of Sister Emmerich. God's love and knowledge is infinite.

@@francesrosecarmel "On January 24, Bishop Benoît Bertrand of Mende, president of the French bishops' Episcopal Doctrinal Commission, shared a message from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints addressed to the bishops of France. The message conveyed the decision to halt the examination of the case of Luisa Piccarreta, initiated in 1994 by the now deceased Italian Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri of Trani. Why does the Church reproach this Italian mystic, who has been gaining interest among priests and laypeople in recent years? Bishop Bertrand repeats the arguments put forward by the dicastery, which are of three kinds: theological, Christological, and anthropological. Piccarreta's conception of the divine will "does not leave man the possibility to exercise his free will," it does not incorporate "the primacy of God's merciful and unconditional love," and, finally, there is "little or no mention of the resurrection of Christ," "Christian hope, and ecclesial communion." Bishop Bertrand, therefore, advises caution regarding the dissemination of Piccarreta's message, echoing the warning of Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, who had asked him in a April 18, 2022 letter, to "accordingly evaluate the popular dissemination of such elements to avoid confusion among believers."

They've stated that there are some serious errors in her books and have decided to "withdraw" all permissions that were given for the publication of the books (translated to Korean). Moreover, they have expressed the need for any prayer groups (in S. Korea) that are centered on Luisa Piccaretta's Divine Will spirituality to be stopped for the good of the Church.

Whenever I read the apparition books, I can feel an overwhelming grace pouring over my whole being because it’s like experiencing their presence, making me want to love God more. I guess that’s part of God the Father’s will to pick servants or victim souls to continuously renew the spirit of the whole of humanity. 🙏

I’ve been praying for months specifically focusing on “Thy will be done” and praying for my trust to increase. I recently finished the consecration to Saint Joseph as well. I’m only halfway through the video so maybe my question will be answered but I struggle with discerning what God’s will is for me. I often feel confused and worried about not doing a good enough job doing His will. Then I feel bad about being confused & worried because that seems like I’m lacking in trust. 😩 I have a STRONG desire to do God’s will though and have been doing the best I can to develop a stronger prayer life. I get consumed with my many failures and things I need to improve and then get worried about being scrupulous. I know you have a separate video about discerning God’s will in your life, I should probably watch it again. I just want to make Jesus happy and save souls but I am so small.

Omg! You finally able to talk about Luisa Picaretta. I have been following the Divine Will for 4yrs now. I am learning the virtues given by Jesus to Luisa so I can live in his will. By the way Luisa Picaretta was born on Divine Mercy Sunday, check on that. Also the book of Heaven is all scriptures, if you read the book of Heaven it collaborates with the Bible and the book of catechism. I have been attack the most when I started learning the Divine Will more than anything else. So pray about it with humility which is the other virtues we need to learn to live in his will. Also the Devotion of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ it mention living the Divine Will, it said let the new Jerusalem come down on earth. Thank you so much Father Chris for this session. FIAT

Thanks for sharing; I was not aware this Divine Will by Luisa Picaretta. Our cathedral is having Eucharistic Adoration every day now whereas before it was only Wed/Fridays. To my understanding Luisa was a Jewish convert just like St Theresa Avila and St John of the Cross both Jewish converts to the true Catholic faith as I have been invoking St Theresa Avila and her writings on the gift of prayer in the 7 mansions. New Israel is the Catholic Church as the New Jerusalem is the heavenly bride the Church the Catholic Church. Interesting Luisa was born on Divine Mercy Sunday did not St John Paul II die near Divine Mercy Sunday. Fatima the white square predicted the red square Moscow would attack the white pope in St Peter's square. St John Paul had an attempted attack who was Polish like St Maria Faustina Kowalska. Jesus Precious Blood devotions will surely bring not only conversions for sinners but for ourselves too. God Bless.

On the other hand there is the arrogance of this claim from Picaretta on her standing in the hierarchy of Heaven. It's quite unbelievable: "Now daughter, you, . . are unique in my mind; and you will be unique in history. There will not be-either before or after you-any other creature for whom I will obligate through necessity the work of my ministers. ., . Since I wanted my Mother with me as the first intermediary of my mercy . . . I wanted her on my right. . . . I wanted you [Luisa] as the first intermediary of justice. . . . I wanted you on my left." If you really believe Jesus can say something as extraordinary as this, to suggest that Picaretta could be almost at the level of Our Lady, then really, you have a lot of questions to ask.

I know that there is so much more to it, but I like my Catholicism neat and cozy. So, as with other deep topics, I’ll just wait for the official Church teaching.

Is Luisa Piccarreta a venerable already? The Korean Bishops' Conference considered her spirituality to be an error and banned all related gatherings, and revoked the authorization of her books. My understanding is that the outcome of the review on her beatification had not yet been decided. It is really confusing to discern. Although I deeply respect the MIC's teachings on Catholic faith and their guidance on spirituality, as a layperson, I think it's best not to follow uncertainty. I am concerned that this would bring more division rather than unity in our church. One thing I found strange about LP is that, unlike ST. FAUSTINA's humbleness, LP exalted herself, describing herself as the spouse of Jesus. It is strange to see a saintly figure puts her/himself as the same level as Our Lord or the Blessed Lady.

What I can say about will is that my will has mostly gotten me into a lot of trouble, so why not ask for God's will to be infused in me instead. The second is that I'm a chip off the old block and what I mean is that my willful acts are what I saw my earthly father did. On the surface I'm acting upon my will and I am but I'm also channeling what I saw at home growing up. The point is my ultimate Father is the Father in Heaven so why not become a chip off His block.

I now realize how the phrase in the Our Father Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven how powerful those words are 🙏 especially in the way you expressed it.. Thank You. for this inspirational message. 🙌

A friend of the family could use some prayers. She had to go to the ER and her kids are staying with us. Any prayers would be appreciated.🙏 She is not a believer. I think she wants to believe, but is just going through some tough times.

[@AmyDragoInSedona]

Praying!

If there are “difficulties” in there, it’s not for me!

LP's books have NEVER been officially approved by the Holy See's Faculty of the Faith. Only permitted that the writings of LP are open to the public for study. A clear difference between the permission and the official approval, but LP's followers promote mere permission as if it is an official approval (2003 EWTN Meeting / EWTN: Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta). For the records, LP's book, The 24 Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, obtained the Imprimatur in 1934 under the supervision of St. Annibale di Francia (LP's spiritual leader) as a censor of the Diocese. However, this same book was on the list of official banned books in 1938. This ban has NEVER been lifted. The book banning ITSELF was abolished in 1966 due to the influences of rationalism, but NOT declare the legitimacy of LP's books.

An ordained catholic priest, Fr. Francisco (YJ Kim, CMBS), who uploaded a rigorous analysis of this alarming cult among the faithful a year ago (2022/12/08), emphasized, "Please seek the Divine Will in the Holy Scripture, not in Louisa Piccarreta." Amen to that.

[@userlh08642]

Yes, I also learned about the controversial issues on Luisa Piccarreta spirituality through Fr. Kim's homily. I was surprised to see that the Divine Will practice is very prevalent in the U.S. Indeed, church decisions always take time, and sometimes, the decisions can be surprising, but it seems that not going along with uncertainty is a necessary attitude in these dark times.

[@rosashchoi5848]

Let neither human praise nor human judgment be the guide in spirituality. Only the Holy Spirit. For that, I pray for humility and discernment. God bless you.@@userlh08642

Blessings to you, too. 😊🙏

[@johnespelita4718]

@@userlh08642 Could it be that unauthorized translation into Korean (from the English? from the original Italian?) is the reason for the confusion in South Korea? Divine Will Cenacles in the US have the guidance of Fr. Iannuzzi whose translation is authorized by the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome, authorized by the Holy See, and has official ecclesiastical approval for Rev. Iannuzzi’s doctoral thesis on Luisa’s doctrines.

I missed you Fr Chris Alar! Welcome back!

Part of the Homily given at my Mother's funeral by the Monsignor, the Priest, who married my parents was, "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.' and I have often contemplated this mystery and I had not quite grasped the depth of the matter even though concentrating on it until now. Fascination is immediate upon hearing of this 'Private Revelation' and find it both attractive and terrifying concurrently... Definitely food for thought, study and prayer...Meditation upon the Joyful Mysteries surrounding the Holy Family this season will focus upon this very surrendering of the creature's will to unite with that of God. 😲💖🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🎶LA-a-a!!!🎵

[@jjv1930]

I don’t know but in recent weeks I have been led to the Divine will. I think we should really listen to what God has to say to us

[@lumpichu]

This whole thing is deeply unsettling to me. It doesn't sound right. I was almost convinced on this several times by others, of course heard a lot about it, I even looked into it a little myself, but something always strongly warns me inside. No peace from it. Some of it sounds nice and correct, true... On this, I'll wait until the Magisterium will approve and teach this and clears it up and gives guidance... maybe when interpreted by the proper places it will be different, but I doubt it will happen. I'll stick with what I know and was taught and skip the volumes and this spirituality.

[@truthseeker5777]

I agree with you

[@rosashchoi5848]

Amen!

[@userlh08642]

Recently the Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church in South Korea banned all prayer meetings and homilies related to Luisa Piccarreta's Spirituality of the Divine Will stating that they deemed her writings to be erroneous because of their sensationalism, violation of the Magisterium, and her self- portrayal as almost a similar figure as Our Lady. It is hard to discern whether or not it is safe to follow Luisa Piccarreta's Spirituality.

[@legiomariae4961]

I have had the same experience. Someine brought it to me & I felt an unexplained uneasiness about it. I am not a skeptic by nature, so this unnerved me. I too looked into it further & when I discovered it was not approved I decided to leave it be & stick to approved apparitions. In those times even the elect may be deceived, so I trust only that which has been discerned by those with much greater authority than mine.

[@lumpichu]

​@@userlh08642 To me, there are red flags just about everywhere. Basically it becomes an idol. It's also comparable to the Scripture and the Sacraments (or above). The truths there are supposed to be what nourishes a weak soul and body. If you don't reach the 4th degree (hmmm, reminds me of something...), which of course involves this spirituality, you can't reach what you are supposed to reach, and basically stay out of the Kingdom or be very limited.

[@ethanscoolbigworld2004]

Jesus I trust in you. Thy will be done. I give you my will. Please give me yours. Please give me your mercy in return. Mother Mary, our Queen, pray for me. Amen

[@aliciajoseph-qb5xi]

Thank you for posting this, it's so simple and profound.

[@carmenbravo2989]

I AM so extatic!! When I opend You tube and this showed up, I follow Daniel, and Father Chris, also Father Blout, This is so beautiful for me to SEE them both, God is SO on work here, I can Say anout Divine Will is that I used to think they were cucu, and Even thought they were a sect. It took me 2 years to start understanding Divine Will, It is a great gift for us. I AM so SO happy Fr. Chris has intoduced Divine Will in His talks. God is at work!!!!!!!

[@justina7xlp807]

Thank you Fr. Chris Alar and DanielO'CONNOR🙏🙂. We were waiting for this talk. People really need to know about the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ, about Luisa Piccarreta and all the other prayers like the ROUNDS. My two children and I are praying these HOURS for about 3 years now and it changed our lives. I really recommend everyone from the heart to start praying the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ by Luisa Piccarreta. These prayers are powerful for our times and give us so much hope for the future. Divine Mercy and the Divine Will are the most important messages for our times. May God bless everyone 🙏 Jesus I Trust in You

[@Misschiefjesus]

Thank You 🙏

The ONLY reason why Im skeptic of this Private Revelation is because St.Joseph is not in it. I believe StJoseph sits on the left side of Jesus because he is Jesus’ Father while He was here on Earth plus one of his great Titles is, The Shadow of The Heavenly Father.
