The Surrender Novena is a nine-day prayer based on private revelations from Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo. The words in the novena are said to have been given to Don Dolindo Ruotolo, an Italian priest who died in 1970, by Jesus himself.

“In the Surrender Novena, the faithful focus on letting go of their own will for their lives and strive to live their lives according to God’s will for them and place complete trust in Him. The novena comes from Father Dolindo Ruotolo, who is a servant of God and candidate for beatification. We can pray this novena whenever we are struggling to let go of worries or doubts and need the Lord to take care of things.”

Who is Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo?

The Surrender Novena was given to Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo during his private conversations with Jesus.

The Italian priest lived an incredible life and inspired many people, including Saint Padre Pio, who also referred to Don Dolindo Ruotolo as a saint.

Ruotolo loved Rosary and had a strong devotion to the Blessed Mother. He referred to himself as “Mary’s little old man,” and lived a life of incredible poverty. During his life, Ruotolo was struck with many sufferings, including complete paralysis for his last 10 years on earth.

How to Pray the Surrender Novena

The Surrender Novena can be a timeless source of consolation in our ever-changing world.

To pray the Surrender Novena, follow the daily reflections (listed below), and prayerfully repeat the surrender refrain 10 times: “O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!”

Easy enough, right? And incredibly moving!

Day 1

Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 2

Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous, and to desire to think about the consequences of anything.

It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation, and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act, saying, “You take care of it.”

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 3

How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me, and says to me, “You take care of it,” then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor how to.

So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: “Hallowed be thy Name,” that is, be glorified in my need. “Thy kingdom come,” that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,” that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: “Thy will be done,” which is the same as saying: “You take care of it,” I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 4

You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done, You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed.

Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say, “You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 5

And then I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 6

You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything, and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse – to men themselves, trusting in their intervention – this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh, how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated!

Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 7

I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God.

So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you, it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this, all of you, and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 8

Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say, “You take care of it,” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you, and guide you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Day 9

Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance, and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it.”

Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

159 Years Old This Year 2024

Luisa, the One who Opens the Doors to the Kingdom of the Divine Will!

Volume 30 – 4/24 – As many times as she does her acts in It, so many times is she reborn in her acts.  Contest between Creator and creature.

       …After this, I was doing my acts in the Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus added:  “My daughter, the soul who lives in my Will is in continuous act of being reborn in the acts that she does in It.  If she loves, she is in continuous act of being reborn in the divine love; and while she is born, the life of love is formed in her, and, as life, it takes primacy in all her being, in a way that her heartbeat, her breath, the motion, the gaze, the step, the will, and everything else, become love; and as many times as she is reborn, so many more times does love grow.  This love, as life, and in act of always being born and growing, has the enrapturing and wounding strength, which, while it wounds Us, enraptures Us, but with Our own divine power; and We, feeling Ourselves being wounded, pour out more love from Our wounds, and We wound Our beloved creature, and in each rebirth We redouble Our love for her.  In the same way, if she repairs, and for as many times as she repairs in Our Will, so many times is she reborn in the divine reparation and forms the life of reparation in her soul; so, her breath, her motion, her will and all her being, acquire the life of reparation.  And since it isn’t with one act alone that she repairs Us, but with one entire life, she has, as life, the disarming power; and disarming Us, she converts the scourges into graces.  And so with all the rest that the creature can do in Our Divine Will:  it is lives that she acquires, which are nourished by Our divine founts.  So, if she praises Us in Our Divine Will, if she thanks Us, if she blesses Us, she forms one entire life of thanksgivings, of praise and of blessings toward her Creator; and each time she does it, while she is reborn in these acts and grows, she forms the fullness of life, in a way that the breath, the heartbeat, if she thinks, if she speaks, if she moves her step, if blood circulates in her veins – the whole entirety of the creature – there is not one particle of her being that does not say:  ‘I thank You, I praise You, I bless You.’  Oh! how beautiful it is to see her – possessing as many lives for as many times as she is reborn in her own acts done in Our Divine Fiat; and for as many lives as she possesses We feel in her heartbeat as many heartbeats in one, as many breaths, motions and steps in one; and each of them – some say ‘love’, some ‘reparation’, some ‘thanksgivings’, some ‘praise’ and some ‘blessing’.  These rebirths and lives form the most beautiful harmony in the fortunate creature who had the good of acquiring them.  Our satisfaction is so great, that Our gaze is always fixed on looking at her, Our ears always intent on listening to her, the power of Our Will calls Our continuous attention.  And as she says to Us:  ‘I love You’, so do We repeat to her:  ‘We love you, oh! daughter.’  As she repairs Us, so do We press her to Our Heart; as she thanks Us, praises Us, blesses Us, so do We keep repeating:  ‘We thank you that you are thanking Us’, ‘We praise you for you are praising Us’, ‘We bless you for you are blessing Us.’  We can say that We put Ourselves in a contest with her.  Heaven and earth are astounded that their Creator engages in a contest with His beloved creature.  Therefore, always in my Will do I want you, because in It you give Us much to do and to say, and you form Our outpouring of love.”

V30 – 4.23.32 – “We Repeat to her:  ‘We Love you, oh! daughter.’  As she repairs Us, so do We Press her to Our Heart; as she thanks Us, praises Us, blesses Us, so do We Keep Repeating:  ‘We Thank you that you are thanking Us’, ‘We Praise you for you are praising Us’, ‘We Bless you for you are blessing Us.’  We can Say that We Put Ourselves in a Contest with her.  Heaven and earth are Astounded that their Creator Engages in a Contest with His beloved creature.”

Link to The Feast of the

Annunciation in the Divine Will

The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

We go to the Throne of God linked to mama Luisa in The Most Holy Divine Will united with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary and we pray with all souls past, present and future, with all the Angels and Saints with one voice speaking for all of Creation:

+++ “Fiat Mihi ” +++

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”

John 6:38

“I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me. ”

Matthew 7:21

“”Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”

Psalms 40: 7 – 11

Then I said, “Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me;
I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart.”
I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great
congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou
knowest, O LORD.

I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of
thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy
steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.
Do not thou, O LORD, withhold thy mercy from me, let thy
steadfast love and thy faithfulness ever preserve me!

 Hebrews 10: 4 – 10

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls
and goats should take away sins.
Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices
and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;
in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure.

Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God, ‘as it is
written of me in the roll of the book.”
When he said above, “Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure
in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin
offerings” (these are offered according to the law),
then he added, “Lo, I have come to do thy will.” He
abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
And by that will we have been sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Luke 1: 26 – 38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s
name was Mary.

And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the
Lord is with you!”
But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and
considered in her mind what sort of greeting this
might be.

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and
bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the
Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the
throne of his father David,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be,
since I have no husband?”

And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the power of the Most High
will overshadow you; therefore the child to be
born will be called holy, the Son of God.

And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her
old age has also conceived a son; and this is the
sixth month with her who was called barren.
For with God nothing will be impossible.”

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of
the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

And the angel departed from her.

“Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
We link our “Fiat” with mama Luisa and The Blessed Mother’s “Fiat Mihi,” 
in The Most Holy Divine Will,
all for the Love, Praise, Glory, and Honor to Our Triune God
and for the salvation of souls!

With Mama Luisa may this act be multiplied to the infinite in every thought word and deed in The Most Holy Divine Will and for every beat of our hearts and breath that we take in time and in eternity.
We bring all souls, including all Angels and Saints, from the first to the last and repeat this act in every beat of all hearts and every breath that all take.
We bring all creatures, from the first to the last: and repeat this act in every beat of all hearts and every breath that all take.
We bring all of creation, past, present and future in every molecule that exists, we repeat this holy intention.

Fiat!
Fiat!
Fiat!

The Virgin Mary In the Kingdom of the Divine Will

Day Nineteen

The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

The Doors of Heaven open, the Sun of the Eternal Word
places Himself on the lookout. He sends His Angel
 to tell the Virgin that the Hour of God has come. 

The soul to her Celestial Mama:

Holy Mama, here I am again on the knees of my Mama.  I am your child, who wants to be fed the food of your most sweet word, which brings me the balm to heal the wounds of my miserable human will.  My Mama, speak to me; let your powerful words descend into my heart and form a new creation, in order to form the seed of the Divine Will in my soul.

Lesson of the Sovereign Queen:

Dearest child, this is precisely the purpose for which I love so much to let you hear the celestial secrets of the Divine Fiat, the portents It can operate where It reigns completely, and the great harm of one who lets himself be dominated by the human will: that you may love the Divine Will, to let It form Its throne within you, and abhor the human will, to make of it the footstool of the Divine Will, keeping it sacrificed at Its divine feet.

Now, my child, listen to Me: I continued my life in Nazareth; the Divine Fiat continued to expand Its Kingdom within Me. It used my littlest acts, even the most indifferent ones – such as keeping the little house in order, starting the fire, sweeping, and all the tasks that are usually done in the families to let Me feel Its life palpitating in the fire, in the water, in the food, in the air I breathed – in everything.

And investing them, It formed over my little acts seas of light, of grace, of sanctity; because wherever It reigns, the Divine Will has the power to form, from little trifles, new heavens of enchanting beauty. In fact, being immense, It does not know how to do small things, but with Its power It gives value to trifles, and makes of them the greatest things, such as to astonish Heaven and earth.  Everything is holy, everything is sacred, for one who lives of Divine Will.

Now, child of my Heart, pay attention to Me and listen: several days before the descent of the Eternal Word upon earth, I could see Heaven opened and the Sun of the Divine Word at Its doors, as though to look out for the one upon whom He was to take His flight, to render Himself Celestial Prisoner of a creature. Oh! how beautiful it was to see Him at the doors of Heaven, as though on the lookout, and to spy the fortunate creature who was to host her Creator! The Sacrosanct Trinity no longer looked at the earth as alien to Them, because there was little Mary who, by possessing the Divine Will, had formed the Divine Kingdom in which He could descend safely, as in His own dwelling, in which He would find Heaven and the many suns of the many acts of Divine Will done in my soul. The Divinity overflowed with love, and removing the mantle of justice which, for so many centuries, They had kept with creatures, They covered Themselves with the mantle of infinite mercy, and decreed among Themselves the descent of the Word, and were in the act of sounding the hour of the fulfillment. At this sound, Heaven and earth were astounded, and all stood at attention, to be spectators of such a great excess of love, and a prodigy so unheard-of.

Your Mama felt ignited with love, and echoing the love of my Creator, I wanted to form one single sea of love, so that the Word might descend upon earth within it.  My prayers were incessant, and while I was praying in my little room, an Angel came, sent from Heaven as messenger of the great King.  He came before Me, and bowing, he hailed Me: “Hail, O Mary, our Queen; the Divine Fiat has filled You with grace. He has already pronounced His Fiat – that He wants to descend; He is already behind my shoulders, but He wants your Fiat to form the fulfillment of His Fiat.”

At such a great announcement, so much desired by Me – although I had never thought I would be the chosen one – I was stupefied and hesitated one instant. But the Angel of the Lord told Me: “Do not fear, our Queen, for You have found grace before God. You have conquered your Creator; therefore, to complete the victory – pronounce your Fiat.”

I pronounced my Fiat, and – oh! marvel – the two Fiat fused together and the Divine Word descended into Me. My Fiat, which was endowed with same value as the Divine Fiat, from the seed of my humanity, formed the tiny little Humanity which was to enclose the Word; and the great prodigy of the Incarnation was accomplished.

Oh! power of the Supreme Fiat – You raised Me so high as to render Me powerful, to the point of being able to create within Me that Humanity which was to enclose the Eternal Word, whom Heaven and earth could not contain. The heavens were shaken, and all Creation assumed the attitude of feast; and exulting with joy, they peeked over the little house of Nazareth, to give homages and obsequies to the Creator made Man; and in their mute language, they said: “Oh! prodigy of prodigies, which only a God could do. Immensity has made itself little, power has rendered itself powerless, His unreachable height has lowered itself deep into the abyss of the womb of a Virgin, and at the same time, He is little and immense, powerful and powerless, strong and weak.”

My dear child, you cannot comprehend what your Mama experienced in the act of the Incarnation of the Word. All pressed upon Me and awaited my Fiat, I could say, omnipotent.

Now, dear child, listen to Me: how much you should take to heart doing the Divine Will and living of It. My power still exists – let Me pronounce my Fiat over your soul. But in order to do this, I want your own. A true good cannot be done with one alone; the greatest works are always done between two. God Himself did not want to do it on His own, but wanted Me together with Him to form the great prodigy of the Incarnation; and in my Fiat and in His, the life of the Man-God was formed, the destiny of mankind was restored, Heaven was no longer closed; all goods were enclosed between the two Fiat.  Therefore, let us pronounce them together: “Fiat, Fiat”, and my maternal love will enclose in you the life of the Divine Will.

Enough for now; tomorrow I will wait for you again, to narrate to my child the continuation of the Incarnation.

The soul:

Beautiful Mama, I feel stupefied in hearing your beautiful lessons. O please! I pray You to pronounce your Fiat over me; and I will pronounce my own, so that that Fiat, for which You so much yearn to reign as life in me, may be conceived in me.

Little Sacrifice:

Today, to honor Me, You will come to give the first kiss to Jesus, and will say to Him, as many as nine times, that you want to do His Will.  And I will repeat the prodigy of making Jesus be conceived in your soul.

Ejaculatory Prayer:

Powerful Queen, pronounce your Fiat, and create in me the Will of God.

My Sorrowful Mama

Enclose the thoughts of Jesus in my mind so that
no other thought may enter into me.
Enclose the eyes of Jesus within mine that He may never escape from my gaze and His hearing in mine, that I may always listen to Him and do His Most Holy Will in everything.

Place His Face within mine so that, by looking at Him so disfigured for love of me I may love Him, compassionate Him, and repair.

His tongue in mine that I may speak, pray and teach with the tongue of Jesus His hands in mine, so that each movement I make and each work I perform may have life from
the works and actions of Jesus.

Place His feet in mine, so that each one of my steps may be a life of salvation, of strength and of zeal for other creatures…

I pray You to enclose me in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus And You, my sorrowful Mama, be my sentry so that Jesus may not put me out of It and I, even if I wanted, may not be able to leave.
So I kiss your maternal hand And You, bless me.

First Day:  Good Friday

Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.
 Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

Second Day:  HOLY SATURDAY

Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind. Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service,* that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

Third Day:  EASTER SUNDAY

Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse then in the ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fourth Day:  EASTER MONDAY

Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fifth Day:  EASTER TUESDAY

Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion. Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son’s Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Sixth Day  EASTER WEDNESDAY

Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Seventh Day:  EASTER THURSDAY

Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY,* and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death. Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.

Eighth Day:  EASTER FRIDAY

Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice. Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

Ninth Day:  EASTER SATURDAY

Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM,* and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy. Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.

From The Writings Of Luisa Piccarreta

“The Little Daughter Of The Divine Will”

Jesus says in the below passage, that in order to receive the truths we first need to receive Divine Love and Divine Light in our soul in order to have a support to receive the truths.

VOL. 30 – January 30, 1932

“We do not want human love, and therefore Our Divine Will uses Its loving Stratagems, It spies the dispositions, and It breathes.  Its Breath, like a light breeze, puts to flight the ash that the human will has produced; the particle of Our infinite Love revives and ignites.  My Divine Volition continues to breathe, and It adds more Divine Love.  The soul feels herself emptied, re-warmed.  She experiences loving Refreshments.  And from inside the particle of the infinite Love that she possesses, she loves Us, and gives Us Our Divine Love as hers.  You must know that so much is the Love of this Divine Will of Mine, that It uses all the Artifices.  It acts as Spy, and It breathes on her; It acts as Mother and cradles her in Its Arms; It acts as Sentinel and watches over her; It acts as Queen and dominates her; It acts as Sun and illuminates her, and lends Itself even to serving her.  And when It wants to deposit in you Its Knowledges, Its Truths, even one of Its Words, what does It do?  It breathes on you so much that It forms in you, first Its Support of Love, of Light, in order to enclose Its Truths inside of the Support of Its Love and Light that It has formed in you, so that It entrusts Its Truths to Its own Love, to Its Light, knowing that only Its Love could have the true Interest of conserving them, of spurring you on, so that they do not remain hidden. 

“O! if it were not for this Support of Love of Mine that encloses all the Knowledges of My Fiat, how many things would have been buried in your soul, without anyone knowing anything about it.  This is the reason why before It manifests Its Truths to you, It acts like the All-Doer around you, in order to prepare you, to place New Love in you, so as to form the New Support for Its Truths, and place them in the secure bank of Its Divine Love.  And if I await you in Its Acts with so much Love, they are Our usual Pretexts, occasions that We seek in order to find the comma, the period, of the creature so as to give her New Love, New Graces.  But even more than wanting her company, We do not know how to be without the one who wants to do Our Will.  Already It carries her in Its Arms in Our Acts, so that she is with Us, and with everything that We do.”

Jesus Says below that when we read the Hours of the Passion We receive Divine light in our souls.

VOL. 11 – April 23, 1916
Every thought on the Passion of Jesus is a light drawn from His Most Holy Humanity in order to be like Him.

Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus made Himself seen all surrounded with Light, which came out from His Most Holy Humanity, and which embellished Him in such a way as to form an enchanting and enrapturing sight. I remained surprised, and He told me: “My daughter, each pain that I suffered, every drop of Blood, every wound, prayer, word, action, step, etc., produced a Light within my Humanity, to embellish Me in such a way as to keep all the Blessed enraptured. Now, for every thought that the creature has about my Passion, for every act of compassion, reparation, etc., she does nothing other than draw Light from my Humanity, and be embellished to my likeness. Therefore, every additional thought about my Passion will be an additional Light which will bring her eternal joy.”

Jesus says below that when we read the Hours of the Passion Our souls receive Divine Love.

VOL. 11 – September 6, 1913
Value, effects and divine nobility of doing the “Hours of the Passion.”

I was thinking about the Hours of the Passion which have now been written, and how they are without any indulgence. So, those who do them do not gain anything, while there are many prayers enriched with many indulgences. While I was thinking of this, my always adorable Jesus, all kindness, told me: “My daughter, one gains something through the prayers with indulgences. But the Hours of my Passion, which are my own prayers, my reparations and all my love, came really from the depth of my Heart. Did you perhaps forget how many times I united Myself with you to do them together, and I turned chastisements into graces over the entire earth? So, my satisfaction is such that, instead of the indulgence, I give the soul a handful of love, which contains infinite love of incalculable price. Further, when things are done for pure love, my Love finds Its outpouring – and it is not inconsiderable that the creature can give relief and expression to the Love of her Creator.”

Therefore, by reading the Hours of the Passion your soul receives Divine light and Divine love which acts as a support for the truths.

Therefore reading the Hours of the Passion Disposes you to receive the Divine Truths.

Fiat!!!
