Although this site is intended for those who are already familiar with Luisa and with her writings as contained in the Book of Heaven, it seems worthwhile to provide a sketch of Luisa’s life and a short explanation of her spiritual doctrine of Living in the Divine Will.
We pray, dear pilgrim, that whatever benefits are received from reading the information contained in this site will redound to the greater glory of the Most Holy Trinity and hasten the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Will to Reign on earth as in Heaven.
A Little About Luisa!
(By Father Pablo Martin, who is thought by many to be the leading authority on the doctrine of Luisa Piccarreta)
When Luisa Piccarreta began her writings on the Divine Will, the twentieth century was dawning.
“Out of pure obedience, I begin to write. . .” were her first words in 1899. An act of humility and
submission to a Divine order and to the authority of the Church, as manifested to her by her Confessor.
Our Lord, who down through the centuries ever increases the wonders of his Love, from this virgin—
who lacked all instruction whatsoever—whom He calls “the littlest to be found over all the earth,”
wished to make of Luisa a fit instrument for a Divine mission. No other can be compared to this
mission, for it is the triumph of the Divine Will in all creation, in accordance with everything that is
said in the Our Father: Fiat Voluntas Tua, Sicut in Coelo et in Terra, “Thy will be done on earth as it
is in Heaven.”
Jesus Himself told her: “Your mission is great because it is not only a call to personal sanctity, but a
call to embrace all and everyone—as well as prepare the Kingdom of my Will for the future
generations of men.”
For this reason Our Lord commended to Luisa the mission, to be a prototype of “the second generation
of the children of the Light; the children of the Divine Will.” As “the Trumpet” that must convoke this
new generation so ardently yearned for [by God], she is “the firstborn daughter,” “the secretary and
scribe of Jesus,” “the teacher of the most sublime science, the Divine Will,” “the first happy birth of
the Divine Will.”
These are some of the titles by which Jesus frequently calls her. Quite definitely Luisa is “the Little
Daughter of the Divine Will” (the title with which she herself would sign her letters, and that is found
over her tomb in her parish in Corato [Italy]). The instinct of faith of the Christian people knows her
and remembers her significantly as “Luisa, the Saint.”
To the glory and praise of the Divine Will.
FIAT!
- Father Pablo Martin
