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!

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 am absolutely grateful for this video . A couple of years ago, I had a dream of a lady . She was floating on top of a grave and I had a feeling she is very upset with me . Couple days later I found this lady picture on the internet and it was Luisa Piccaretta ! I was shocked because I had never seen or heard of her before . I was even more in shock when I found a book on my shelf that was gifted too me who knows when . It was the 24 hours of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ .

Father Chris I'm so happy God chose you to be our Shepherd. ✝️🙏. You've helped me a lot.

[marympyles]

I’ve been reading the Hours of the Passion by Luisa Piccarreta every day for over a year - changed my life and drew me closer to His Love - a Love so profound you can’t describe it. ❤🙏 Thank you

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.

Thank you Father Chris for this great afternoon and hosting Daniel O’Connor. Please have him back, there is so much to this beautiful spirituality and we have just scratched the surface!

[helengrace]

Daniel, Ottawa here.. you were our speaker.. at ourSpiritual Motherhood of Priest’s conference. God BLESS you and Fr. Chris. Thank you. ❤️🙏😊🇨🇦

[patriciagrenier]

Our BLESSED MOTHER LIVED TOTALLY IN THE DIVINE WILL. Please ask Her for help in offering your will to HIS WILL❤️

[pedrolo]

I am nothing and God is all. Come Divine Will.

[batboy]

I am more than sceptical. Father Mawdsley's presentation makes me very reticent to accept the validity of this private revelation.

Breaking down to the simple:
-The Gospels call everyone to holiness
-When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, God said this is my son whom I am well pleased
-At Cana, Mary said, do what he tells you
-At the Transfiguration, God said, this is my son whom I am well pleased listen to him
-Focus on the first commandment to live your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and the NEW commandment Jesus gave his Apostles, love your neighbor as yourself —loving everyone as God commanded in the Gospels, and the saints writings further emphasize key to eternity
-At Gethsemane, Jesus said, not my will but thine —follow his lead.
-The Chaplet of St. Michael is a prayer to holiness
-The writings of the saints and mystics do not reveal anything new, they further Mary and God’s appeal to everyone to desire holiness. 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. Give God his due recognition
-Be humble and meek as Mary and her son

All of this can be done, start with a few items, continue to add. Ask God for the grace to live a more holy life daily, and he will show you the way…

Mother, thank you for the gift of your Son. Jesus, thank You for the gift of Your holy Mother!

Words cannot express the joy of my heart to hear publicly expressed the union of Divine Mercy and Divine Will. Since the early 1990's, my father would say that the gift of living Divine Mercy leads to the gift of living the Divine Will. All glory to God, through our Blessed Mama! Come, Lord Jesus!

[Imganna]

Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus I consecrate my heart to you!!!
Pray for us St Faustina

[AG-whjw]

I cannot tell you how long I have yearned for Father Chris to find out about the Divine Will because we all know how passionate he is and I thought…when he finds out he will run with it and it will spread so that more souls live it ( they will give Jesus life within them ) and I thought I should email him! 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 !! And the Gospel it’s all in there and in Faustina’s Diary of course !!!

[annmariezumbluskas]

Professor Daniel, what a beautiful description of thy will be done, I never realized there were so many mystics throughout the Catholic Church. God Bless you and Father Chris 🙌 .

[day]

Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray as never before - especially the Rosary (daily) for her intentions.

[venturarivas]

As St. Paul says, I no longer live my life but Christ lives in me. So in the Divine Will we no longer live our will but the Divine Will. That’s what the Divine Will is calling us to do. 🙏🙏

[aleksandrablaszczyk]

Living in the Divine Will is the ultimate fulfillment of the GREAT depth of Love that God has for us. God Bless this talk and everyone. Thank you !! 🙏❤️
