Divine Will 

 

"As far as the vow, do it on the day of Ascension,

so that sweet Jesus may bring your human will to Heaven

asthe most beautiful victory He has achieved over you..."

                                                                               Letter of Luisa #19

 

My lovable Jesus, I come to You, under the blue mantle of Our Blessed Mother Mary, linked with Luisa Piccarreta the little daughter of the Divine Will, and together with her offer myself as victim of Your hidden Life. As Your hidden Life was Victim for the whole interior life of mankind, which repaired for the bad thoughts, desires, tendencies and affections of mankind, so I, linked to Luisa Piccarreta, offer myself as victim for the purpose of Your hidden Life, Lord Jesus.

 

With Luisa Piccarreta, I consecrate and offer all of my interior to You, Lord God, to satisfy You for all the evil interiors of other creatures. In this way I will better know how much Your state of Victim cost You, Lord Jesus. Please accept my humble offering of victim, which is equivalent as You said to Luisa to receiving a second Baptism with effects that are even greater than Baptism itself.

 

With Luisa Piccarreta, I want to rise again in Your own Life as victim to Live in You and of You. O Jesus, wash me from every stain and give me a New Baptism. Strengthen me in Grace to be able to be admitted to Live with You, Lord God. With Luisa Piccarreta I beg You Lord to consider anything that I do as Yours rather than my own, so that whatever I pray, speak or work, I can say that these are Your things Lord.

 

With Luisa I promise to be more nimble, trusting, brave and more intimate with You, Lord Jesus, with no thought for myself, knowing that I am no longer owner of myself, otherwise I would cancel this state of victim.

 

This Baptism of Victim will be a Baptism of Fire that will not only purify me, but also consume any of my passions and evil tendencies. Lord Jesus, You Yourself will baptize my soul, so that Your Thought baptizes my thought, Your Heartbeat will baptize my heartbeat, Your Desire will baptize my desires. Linked with Luisa Piccarreta, I promise never to take back what I humbly today give to You Lord Jesus - that is, my human will - confident that being linked to Luisa Piccarreta will fulfill this promise in me.

 

As You Lord Jesus told Luisa, “This is the Mission of missions - this is the Apostolate of apostolates,” and being one with Luisa I promise to be always with You, and all intent within You, Lord God. Amen.
