The Little Daughter of the Divine Will
22nd Round in the Divine Will
Jesus’ Descent into Limbo
My love, I see that You have already died, and oh, how I
would like to die together with You! But unfortunately this is not granted me
and so, Fiat! Fiat!…
I desire to receive You in my arms to enclose your most
sacred humanity within my “I love You,”47* so that in everything You will see
my “I love You”, hear my “I love You” and feel my “I love You”. My “I love You”
will never leave You; indeed, your Will constitutes the life of my “I love
You”. And do You know what this little child desires of You? I desire that your
Divine Will which You so loved and did throughout your entire life on earth,
may be revealed to all souls, so that all may
------------------------------------
47* Luisa enclosing Jesus’ humanity within her “I love You”,
conveys a two-fold theologically reality. First, she unites her “soul” with all
that which Jesus’ humanity experiences; second, she assimilates and deposits
within her soul said experiences. Indeed, Luisa’s “I love You” emerged from her
“soul” (cf. L. Piccarreta, volume 19, August 31, 1926). Luisa emphasizes that
of the soul’s three powers (intellect, memory and will), the human will is the
most “like” God, as it contains his immensity and power, and is therefore
capable of bilocating itself “up to heaven or to the farthest places”, of being
expanded and of enclosing all things within itself (cf. Ibid., volume 13,
October 9, 1921; volume 23, December 22, 1927). Every act the soul accomplishes
remains sealed within its will and not one of its acts will be lost (volume 12,
January 1, 1920; 24, April 6, 1931).

come
to love and do your Will on earth as in heaven. This little child desires to
conquer You with love by making You grant your Divine Will to all souls. I
entreat You, my good Jesus, to make this poor little child happy, as I desire
nothing other than that which You yourself desire, namely, that your Will be
known and reign in all the world.
My
deceased Jesus, I have enclosed your most sacred humanity within my “I love
You, I adore You, I bless You and I thank You”, thus forming in your humanity a sepulchre, as it were, for my “I love You” and entreating You to bury the human
will so that it may no longer have a life of its own. I now accompany You
together with our sorrowful mother into limbo with my “I love You,” and what a
moving sight it is. In this holy place I see our first father Adam, Abraham,
all the patriarchs and prophets, dear St. Joseph and all the good people of the
Old Testament. Oh how they rejoice in seeing You and, prostrating themselves at
your holy feet, they adore You, love You and thank You. It seems, however that
their celebration is not complete, for with one accord, beginning with Adam
their first father, together they all cry out: “To You we give thanks for all
that You have done and suffered for us. Now that You have accomplished the
first part [of your Messianic mission] by redeeming us, we entreat You to
accomplish the second part by making your Divine Will reign on earth as in
heaven.”
My love, do You not hear the choir of these voices that are
so dear to You? The Queen of Sorrows ROUNDS IN THE DIVINE WILL herself entreats
You, and so do I: “May your Will come, may it come and reign on earth as in
heaven; grant that all may come to know of your adorable Will.” Today, the day
of your death, is also the day of your victory – of your triumph. And would You
refuse me [on this day] the triumph of your Divine Will over the human will?
Before leaving limbo, let me hear your sweetest voice telling me that You will
grant me my request – that your Will shall reign and exercise dominion on earth
as in heaven.
