Our Father

Divine Will for every day of the year - April 14, 1923 Volume 15

[Jesus speaking]

“… Now, my daughter, let’s come to My Will. Do you think it is a Sanctity like the other sanctities? A good, a grace, almost like the others which I have given for many centuries to the other Saints and to the whole Church? No, no! This is about a New Era — about a Good which must serve all generations; but it is necessary that I first centralize all this Good in one creature alone, just as I did in Redemption by centralizing everything in My Mama. Take a look at how things proceed in a parallel way: in order to make Redemption come and to dispose souls for It, I made the promise of the future Messiah, so that, by hoping for Him to come, they would not only dispose themselves, but find, they too, their own salvation in the future Redeemer. Now, in order to dispose souls to live in My Will, to let them partake in the Goods It contains, and to make man return to the path of his origin, just as he was created by Me, I Myself wanted to pray as the first, making My voice resound from one end of the earth to another, and even up high in Heaven, saying: ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven’. I did not say ‘My Father’, but I called Him Father of the whole human family, so as to engage Him in that which I was going to add: ‘May all hallow your Name, so that Your Kingdom may come, and Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’. This was the purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled. As I prayed, the Father surrendered to My supplications, and I formed the seed of a Good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught My Prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church might pray and repeat My very Prayer many times, and might dispose Herself to receive the good of recognizing and loving My Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the great good that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.

“In this seed and in this hope that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, the very Saints have formed their sanctity, and the martyrs have shed their blood. There is no good which does not derive from this seed. So, the whole Church prays; and just as the tears, the penances, the prayers to obtain the Messiah were directed toward that excelling Virgin whom I was to dispose in order to centralize such a great good in Her, so that they might receive their Savior, even though they did not know who She would be – in the same way, now, when the Church recites the ‘Our Father’, it is precisely for you that She prays, so that I may centralize in you all the Good that My Will contains, the ‘way’ — the ‘how’ the Divine Will may have life on earth as It does in Heaven. And even though you are not known, by echoing My prayer, ‘Thy Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven’, the Church prays Me, presses Me to centralize all this Good in a second virgin, so that, like a second savior, she may save unsafe humanity; and making use of My inseparable Love and Mercy, I may answer My own prayer, united to that of the whole Church, making man come back to his origin, to the purpose for which I created him – that My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. This is precisely the living in My Will; and everything I keep manifesting to you pushes you to this, confirms you in this. This is the great foundation I keep forming in your soul; and in order to do this, I keep centralizing in you all the graces, past, present and future, which I have given to all generations. Even more, I double them, I multiply them, because since My Will is the Greatest, the Holiest, the Noblest thing, which has no beginning and no end, in order to place It in one creature, it is right and decorous that I centralize in her all possible Goods, innumerable Graces, Divine Purity and Nobility, so that this Will of Mine may have the same cortege It has in Heaven. It is the same Will that operated in Redemption, and wanted to make use of a Virgin. What Portents and Prodigies of Graces did It not work in Her? My Will is Great, It contains all Goods, and in operating, It acts with magnanimity; and if it is about doing works and doing good for all humanity, then It puts all of Its Goods at stake.

“Now It wants to make use of another virgin in order to centralize Its Will in her, and to begin to make known that Its Will must be done on earth as It is in Heaven. And if in Redemption It wanted to come to save lost man, to satisfy for his sins — which man had no power to do — and to give him refuge and many other goods which Redemption contains, now, wanting to display even more love than in Redemption Itself by making My Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, My Will comes to give man his State of Origin, his Nobility, the Purpose for which he was created. It comes to open the current between Itself and the human will, in such a way that, absorbed by this Divine Will, being dominated by It, the human will will give It life within itself, and My Will will Reign on earth as It does in Heaven.”

Divine Will for every day of the year - August 25, 1929 Volume 26

I was thinking about the Divine Fiat and how Its Kingdom could ever be realized upon earth. It seemed impossible to me—first, because there is no one who occupies himself with making It known, and if anything is said or planned, it all resolves into words, while facts are—oh! how far away, and who knows which generation will have the good of knowing what regards the knowledges about the Divine Will and Its Kingdom; second, it seems to me that the earth is unprepared, and I believe that in order to have such a great Good— that the Kingdom of the Divine Will, Its knowledges, dominate the earth—who knows how many prodigies will precede it!

But while I was thinking about this and other things, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and told me: “My daughter, you must know that My coming upon earth and everything I did in Redemption, My very Death and Resurrection, was nothing other than preparatory act for the Kingdom of My Divine Will; and when I formed the ‘Our Father,’ I formed the seed of the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat in the midst of creatures.

“And if, when I speak, I create and I make the greatest, most beautiful and marvelous works come out of nothing, much more so when, with the empire of My speaking prayer, I have the virtue of creating what I want. Therefore, the seed of the Kingdom of My Will was created by Me in the act of My praying, as I formed and recited the ‘Our Father.’ And if I taught it to the Apostles, it was so that the Church, by reciting it, might water and fecundate this seed, and they might dispose themselves to model their lives according to the dispositions of My Divine Fiat.

“My knowledges about It, My many manifestations, have developed this seed; and since they have been accompanied by the acts done by you in My Divine Will, so many little grains have formed as to form a great mass, from which each one can take his part—always if they want to—in order to live of the Life of the Divine Will. Therefore, everything is there, My daughter—the most necessary acts. There is the seed created by Me, because if there is no seed, it is useless to hope for the plant; but if the seed is there, it takes work, the will of wanting the fruit of that seed; and one is sure of having the plant, because, by possessing the seed, one has in his power the life of the plant of that seed.

“There are those who water this seed in order to make it grow—each ‘Our Father’ that is recited serves to water it; there are My manifestations in order to make it known. All that is needed are those who would offer themselves to be the criers—and with courage, without fearing anything, facing sacrifices in order to make it known. So, the substantial part is there—the greatest is there; the minor is needed—that is, the superficial part, and your Jesus will know how to make His way in order to find he who will accomplish the mission of making known My Divine Will in the midst of the peoples.

“Therefore, on your part, do not place any obstacle—do what you can, and I will do the rest. You do not know how I will overwhelm things and will dispose the circumstances, and this is why you reach the point of doubting that My Fiat will be known and Its Kingdom will have Its life upon earth.”

Then, I abandoned all of myself in the Divine Volition in order to follow Its Acts, and my sweet Jesus added: “My daughter, one who places himself in the Unity of My Will, places himself in the Light; and just as the light has the virtue of descending down below and of laying itself like a mantle of light over each thing it invests, so it has the virtue of rising up high and of investing with its light what is up high.

“In the same way, one who places himself in the Light of My Fiat, in Its Unity of Light, with his acts descends down below to all generations, and with his acts of Light he invests everyone in order to do good to all; and he rises up high and invests the whole of Heaven to glorify all. Therefore, in My Divine Will the soul acquires the right to be able to offer the Light of the Eternal Fiat to all, through the gift of her acts multiplied into as many as are those who want to receive It.”
