Saint Teresa of Avila

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort (Holy Mary)

Saint Augustine Of Hippo

Jesus said that; “His Heart was broken and slashed by the sins of mankind. But He had an even deeper wound, that people do not believe in God.”

List of Promises of our Merciful Savior to Sr. Claire Ferchaud, Loublande / France:

“I come, not to bring terror among you; I am the God of love, the God who forgives and wants to save you all.”

“My grace will work with great power on sinners who, without contrition, kneel before the picture of My Broken Heart, so that they will arise converted.”

“I will forgive their sins, even before the absolution, to those who with a true love kiss the picture of My Broken Heart.”

“My glance will touch the hearts of the indifferent and will inflame them with fervor so that they will practice goodness.”

“A single act of love, with the plea for forgiveness towards this picture, will be enough for Me to open heaven to the soul which, in the last hour, must appear before Me.”

“When some refuse to believe in the truths of the (Catholic) religion, one can put the picture of My Broken Heart in their room (dwelling) without their knowledge. It will bring, through the wonder of graces, sudden and supernatural conversions.”

This is what is said to have transpired when Jesus appeared to Claire. “He bared his sacred heart, and told her that God was on the side of France, and would lead the country to victory – so long as the country confessed its sins and rediscovered its true faith. Jesus pointed towards the wound on his heart, and explained “This signifies the official atheism of France.” Since the revolution, the French had denied their faith and substituted secular laws for the Gospel.”

A new testimony of healing
It is attributed to the intercession of Luisa “The Saint”
15/01/2016

3 year old boy miraculously saved

A new testimony of healing attributed to Luisa “The Saint” was given during the Open Day, on June 14, 2015 and subsequently published by “Lo Stradone” newspaper from Corato. It is about a boy who was only 3 years old.

Who tells this poignant story is Mrs. C. R, the child’s mother.

We start by saying that the family in question is not from Corato. They live in their home town Ruvo of Puglia, not far from Corato, but where the name of Luisa Piccarreta, at the time of the events, was not yet widespread.

Everything started between 2006 and 2007: the child was diagnosed with a sarcoma in the head for which he underwent three surgeries at close range of each other.

Upon awakening after the third surgery, the child said he had dreamt an old and perfumed lady. The family immediately thought of the sorrowful Virgin, most likely because of the child’s health. Meanwhile, without their knowledge, some of their relatives began to entrust to the Little Daughter of the Divine Will their prayers.

After child’s dream there was that of a relative of theirs, the aunt of Mrs. C.’s husband: it was Luisa who said “it’s all good for the child.”

The reference was clear and the family decided to visit the house-museum of Luisa. My son was almost 4 years, and when he saw the picture of Luisa Piccarreta he immediately said to me:” ‘This is the lady I dreamed! “, Mrs. C. continues ” and from that moment we began to read up on Luisa … for me the book The 24 Hours of the Passion has become my creed. “

There was still no mention of full recovery, the disease was very aggressive, but within the family the confidence in Luisa and her intercession was growing.

A new sign that Luisa had not been inactive during those years was given in 2014, when the family was invited by some friends to lunch in the countryside. Here are the exact words that Mrs. C. granted to “Lo Stradone” newspaper: “After lunch we went for a walk and our friends led us to “the Holy “. I did not think in any way of Luisa. Along the way, we found ourselves on a path, while the children (my son and the children of our friends) proceeded on the sides, in the cornfields.

At a certain point my son, who was 11, left the group and going farther than the others, he arrived early at the place. When we arrived we found him at the foot of the big mulberry tree where Luisa loved to pray and where there was a small and faded picture of Luisa. He stayed there for a while, he looked me and my husband in the eyes, without saying word. His look said: “I found Luisa!”.

The reference area is “Torre Disperata”, the place where the family of Luisa moved from spring to autumn in order to cultivate the land.

Together with his friends, the child picked some flowers and placed them in front of the picture of Luisa as a token of his affection and gratitude, but on the way back, he complained to his parents about “the absence of an altar or a crucifix showing the sacredness of that place. “

Today that child is a boy of 12 years old, very discreet, who, aware of the grace he received, has been keeping for years a relic of Luisa, as a treasure, under his pillow, being careful to put it back there, at each change of sheets.

This new testimony could help, along with others already published on this website, to speed up the cause of Beatification of Luisa Piccarreta, but it is not for us to decide.

Here below what don Sergio Pellegrini, assistant ecclesiastical of the association “Luisa Piccarreta Little Children of the Divine Will” said in an interview, last November, to “Lo Stradone” newspaper: “However we would need before an opinion of a medical specialist, then with the consent of the Holy See, the Archbishop could proceed with the canonical process, just as it will happen, in an extraordinary way, for the case of Ms Margarita Chavez who told her testimony on the last day of the conference. The process will begin in Florida in late November and will end in mid-January. The procedure for registering a testimony is long and very complex. For the time being as regards the history of Mrs C., we register that there was a grace.”

FIAT!

Sister Mary Ephrem writes to her Spiritual director Fr. Leibold concerning the composition of this prayer:…

“I was getting some things ready for the following morning, In the Midst of it I was seized with an indescribable impulse. Thoughts of the Trinity and being conformed to the likeness of Christ filled my mind and my heart… My whole longing was to live a life of complete adoration, in union with Christ.
I was suffering a great deal for I was inconsolable at the thought of my own ingratitude and of the crimes which sinners commit against God.”

Prayer to Our Lady of America, Patroness of our Land
Written at the behest of Our Lady, October 5, 1956
by Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil)

Oh Immaculate Mother, Queen of our country, open our hearts, our homes, and our land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of Gods light shining in and about you. Be our leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior,
Who loves us with infinite charity.
We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.
We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us.
We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love,
and the purity of our lives according to your desire.
Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments of peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.
May your valiant spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in “renewing the face of the earth.” Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son
reigns forever as King.
Amen!

Blessed
JUBILEE YEAR of MERCY
in the
MOST HOLY DIVINE WILL!

Volume 20 – January 1, 1927
I was meditating on the old year which was setting, and the New Year which was rising.
My state continued in the Flight of the Light of the Divine Will, and I prayed to the pretty Little Baby Jesus that, just as the old year was dying never to be born again, that He, Jesus would make my human will die and live no more; and take as Gift for the New Year, that He, Jesus would give me His Most Holy Divine Will, just as I gave Him my human will as gift, placing my human will as footstool at His tender little feet, that I might have no life but His Most Holy Divine Will as Life alone.
Now, while I was saying these and other things, my sweet Jesus came out from within my interior, and told me:
“Luisa, daughter of My Divine Will, how I, Jesus Love, Want and yearn that your human will may end in you.
O, how I, God accept your gift! How pleasing it will be for Me to keep your human will at my feet as a soft footstool.
In fact, as long as the human will remains in the creature, outside of its center, which is God, the human will is hard; but when the soul Enters Once Again Into The Center from which it came, serving as footstool at the feet of its Little Baby Jesus, it becomes soft, and I, God use it to amuse Myself. Is it not fair that, being little, I have My amusement?
And that in the midst of so many sorrows, privations and tears, I, Jesus, may hold your human will to make Me smile?
Now, You Must Know that Luisa, the one (and also the souls linked to Luisa) who puts an end to his human will, Returns to the Origin from which he came, and the New Life, the Life of Light, the Perennial Life of My Divine Will, begins in him.

Fiat!

Paslm 51[50]

1 Have mercy on me, O God,

   according to your merciful love;

   according to your abundant mercy

   blot out my transgressions.

 

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

   and cleanse me from my sin!

 

3 For I know my transgressions,

   and my sin is ever before me.

 

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned,

   and done that which is evil in your sight,

   so that you are justified in your sentence

   and blameless in your judgment.

 

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,

   and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward being;

   therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

 

7 Purge me with hyssop,

   and I shall be clean; wash me,

   and I shall be whiter than snow.

 

8 Make me hear joy and gladness;

   let the bones which you have broken rejoice.

 

9 Hide your face from my sins,

   and blot out all my iniquities.

 

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,

     and put a new and right spirit within me.

 

11 Cast me not away from your presence,

     and take not your holy Spirit from me.

 

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,

     and uphold me with a willing spirit.

 

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,

     and sinners will return to you.

 

14 Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God,

     O God of my salvation,

     and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance.

 

15 O Lord, open my lips,

     and my mouth shall show forth your praise.

 

16 For you take no delight in sacrifice;

     were I to give a burnt offering,

     you would not be pleased.

 

17 The sacrifice acceptable to God a is a broken spirit;

     a broken and contrite heart,

     O God, you will not despise.

 

18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;

     rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,

 

19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,

     in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;

     then bulls will be offered on your altar.

The miracle attributed to Luisa

11/26/2015

Here below the translation of the articles of CoratoLive.it (electronic journal of Corato) by Marianna Lotito and in La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno (one of the most important newspapers in Southern Italy) by Giuseppe Cantatore on the miraculous healing of Mrs. Margarita Maria Chavez,  attributed by herself  to  the intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta:

 Testimony of Maria Margarita Chavez:

An element that could be important in the process of beatification of the Servant of God, known more in the world that in her hometown.

In Florida the first miracle attributed to Luisa Piccarreta. The canonical process started. 

The testimony of Margarita: “Luisa Piccarreta saved my life”

Words of hope from Florida. Margarita experienced the intercession of Luisa for her recovery

According to American doctors, it is a miracle, the first that occurred through the intercession of Luisa Piccarreta.

Acute pneumonia combined with other complications had put the life of Maria Margarita Chavez in serious danger: according to the team that was treating her, she had less than 48 hours left to live. Then the inexplicable cure: “the Tuesday after Easter in 2007, they brought me a relic of Luisa and my lungs started to heal,” she herself recounted at the Conference on the “Divine Will” which was held in April in Corato. An element that could be important in the process of beatification of the Servant of God, known more in the world that in her hometown.

For this reason, Bishop Pichierri asked the association named after Luisa to begin the “canonical process” to “gather the first testimonies” before some of the main characters pass away. The main reference is the mother of Maria Margarita, who is now elderly.

“To respond to this invitation – confirms Sabino Lastella, president of the association Luisa Piccarreta – we worked to institute a due process in the diocese of residence of Chavez, and that is in Miami, Florida.”

In late May, the bishop of Miami, Mgr. Thomas Wenski, gave his approval, and “at this time we are contacting those who are part of the ecclesiastical tribunal,” added Lastella. The Interrogatories will be held: between December and January twelve witnesses should be heard. “Soon we will have a final schedule – Lastella continued – and at the conclusion of the work it is expected to take two days to meet and discuss in Miami, as the year of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Luisa is still going on.”

Once all the documents, with all the seals of the Archbishop of Miami, have been prepared, they will be sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican through the postulation.

To understand what this entails in the cause of beatification. we turned to Dom Sergio Pellegrini, assistant ecclesiastic  of the Little Children of the Divine Will. “Once the verification of the writings of Luisa (still in progress) has been completed, the Cause will begin, and it will be possible to develop the “Positio”, an annotated biography needed so that the venerability of Luisa is recognized.” Only then what science now calls a miracle “carry out its immediate effect in regard to the beatification” confirms Don Sergio.

To talk about a miracle recognized by the Church, the approval of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints is required. “The testimonies will be evaluated – explained Dom Sergio – and any further investigations that the congregation will want to make.”

The story of Margherita. Born in Cuba on May 18, 1959, she lives in Miami with her mother Dolores and her son Christopher. April 4, 2007 – during Holy Week, as she herself wished to point out – she was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the hospital in Miami and in the care of doctor Mario Almeida who in 2006 had treated her bronchopneumonia found on her return from a trip to Italy. “I went to Italy to visit the places where Luisa lived and to meet Sister Assunta” said Margherita during the Conference.

On April 6, the medical case of the woman continued to get worse, the doctors decided to intubate her and do a lung biopsy . Connected to an artificial respirator, Margarita went into a coma after receiving the sacraments of confession and anointing of the sick.

On April 10, the Tuesday of the First Week of Easter, Father Cioffi put a relic of Luisa on the chest of Margherita, while around her they were reading the prayers and the writings of Luisa. The next day the first unexplained improvements were seen on x-ray: in a few days Margherita began to breathe on her own and could serenely face also the third kidney transplant.

Margarita remembers about her state of unconsciousness: “The Lord showed me the intrinsic evil of humanity. I was in a place of the elderly and the dying without being able to move, the workers took advantage of us, they gave sleeping pills to have no trouble. I still recall the images of a place where they were preparing the bodies of the dead people. As I was lying on a table, the Lord Jesus let me hear the illicit and malicious conversations of those who were around me. They put me in a coffin, leaving out an arm. The coffin was too small, my body would not fit. The pain I felt was very intense.

Then came a man, dressed in a white coat, and I began to ask Jesus to have mercy on me. The more I begged pity from the Lord, the more the man squeezed my hand. I remained like that for a long time: he would be hammering my arm, and kept trying to close the coffin with my arm hanging outside. This lasted a long time. The man kept telling me that if I stopped asking Jesus for mercy, he would leave me alone and would not torture me anymore, but I did not stop asking Jesus for mercy. Then, I found myself in front of our Lord Jesus Christ who told me, “Daughter, your sins are forgiven.” Immediately, I saw coming out of me, and I felt coming out of me, like a smoke, a breath, a black shadow. Then, my body felt very light. I felt clean.”

FROM MIAMI, UNITED STATES, THE TESTIMONY THAT WILL BE ASSESSED BY THE COURT OF LOCAL DIOCESE

“It’s me, miraculously healed by Luisa”

A 49 year old Cuban woman reveals the first miracle that could be attributed to Piccarreta.

CORATO. It was the spring of 2007 when the lungs of Maria Margarita Chavez, a 49 – year – old woman from Cuba, were going to succumb definitively under the blows of a severe pneumonia. The diagnosis of doctors was merciless: they gave her only a few days to live.

Then, there was the poor woman’s sudden recovery that cannot be explained even today by those who were treating her. So sudden, in fact, that Maria herself has attributed it to a miracle, through God’s servant Luisa Piccarreta, to whom she was and is very devoted.

“I was admitted to Hospital in Miami, United States, during Holy Week,” told the woman last April, when she came to Corato to participate, together with thousands of faithful, in the fourth international conference on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Luisa “the Saint.” “My clinical condition – she explained – continued to aggravate more and more, to the point that my lungs were completely obstructed. I could hardly breathe, I was induced into a coma and was connected to a respirator – the Central American woman also remembered -. The doctors, who had lost all hope, said to my mother to begin preparations for the funeral. During my unconscious state, I had several spiritual experiences. It was then, on Tuesday of the First Week of Easter, that they brought a relic of Luisa and imposed it on my chest. The next morning, my lungs my lungs started to heal and in a short time, even after a kidney transplant, I have completely recovered. “

Today this moving testimony could become a crucial step in the process of beatification of the “Servant of God”. While the archdiocese is still busy producing the “typical and critical” edition of the many writings of Luisa, Bishop Giovan Battista Pichierri asked the association named after Piccarreta to start the canonical procedure to gather testimonies about this happening. “We started the procedure to institute a due process in the Diocese of Miami, Florida, where Maria Margarita Chavez lives” says Sabino Lastella, president of the association. Last May, the Bishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, granted his approval and in recent weeks the ecclesiastical authorities have been setting the Court that between December and January will hear 12 witnesses.

“At the conclusion of the work – Mr. Lastella adds – we will schedule some days of meeting in Miami,  as the year of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Luisa is still going on.” Once all the proceedings have been filled, the whole dossier, with the seals of the Archbishop of Miami, will be sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican. It will be this entity to establish whether the healing of Maria Margarita Chavez was a miracle or no. “

“The collected testimonies will be evaluated and, if necessary, any further investigations that the congregation will want to make.” – explained Dom Sergio Pellegrini, assistant ecclesiastic  of the “Little Children of the Divine Will”. First the verification of the writings is to be completed, then the Cause will begin and it will be possible to develop the ” Positio”, an annotated biography needed so that the venerability of Luisa is recognized. Only then, concludes Don Sergio, what science now calls a miracle  can carry out its immediate effect in regard to the beatification.
