The last seven days of Christmas contain the seven “O Antiphons.”

The “O’s” of Advent are the great gems of liturgical song which are sung each evening at the “Magnificat” at Vespers, from December 17 to December 23. Addressing Christ with seven magnificent titles, they beg Him to come to save His people.

Each O antiphon addresses Christ using a Messianic title drawn from the prophecies of the Old Testament. Read backwards, the initials of each title in Latin form the words Cras ero or “Tomorrow I shall be (with you)”.

Sapientia (Wisdom)
Adonai (Holy Lord)
Radix Jesse (Root of Jesse)
Clavis David (Key of David)
Oriens (Dayspring or Morning Star)
Rex Gentium (King of the Nations)
Emmanuel (God-with-us)

 

Dec. 17–O WISDOM, who came from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from end to end and ordering all things mightily and sweetly– COME! and teach us the way of prudence.

Dec. 18–O HOLY LORD of the House of Israel, who appeared to Moses in the flame of the burning bush, and gave him the law on Sinai– COME! and redeem us with outstretched arm.

Dec. 19–O ROOT OF JESSE, who stands for an ensign of the people, before whom kings shall keep silence, and unto whom the Gentiles shall make supplication– COME! to deliver us, and tarry not.

Dec. 20–O KEY OF DAVID, and Sceptre of the House of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts, and no man opens– COME! and bring forth the captive from his prison, he who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death.

Dec. 21–O DAYSPRING, brightness of the light eternal, and Sun of Justice- COME! and enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

Dec. 22–O KING OF THE NATIONS and their desired One, the Cornerstone that makes both one– COME! and deliver man, whom You formed out of the dust of the earth.

Dec. 23–O EMMANUEL, our King and Lawgiver, the expected of the nations and their Savior– COME! to save us, O Lord our God.

TRUE DOCTOR

Here is where Luisa tells Aunt Rosaria to go to the TRUE DOCTOR. From Fr. Bucci’s book A Collection of Memories of the Servant of God to Aunt Rosaria, faithful custodian of the life of The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta. 

Padre Bucci wrote: My aunt, urged by my mother, consulted a dermatologist in Bari. The diagnosis was terrible: “Dear lady“, the doctor said to her. “these are cancerous sores which will spread increasingly over your whole body. You have a form of leprosy, a very rare disease“. Just imagine my aunt’s state of mind on hearing these words. After wandering about in Bari for several hours, in the evening she returned to Luisa’s house. Aunt Rosaria gave vent to her feelings with the Servant of God and said to her with irritation: “I’m with you all the time, and yet do you allow certain things? I have no children to take care of me.“. Luisa let her speak and then said to her, “Rosaria, Rosaria… you have gone round all these doctors and you have neglected the one true doctor“. On hearing these words, my aunt immediately took all the medicines, gauze and cotton wool, and flung them away, from the balcony (this happened in the house in the Via Maddalena, where they then lived). Then she said: “I now entrust myself to Our Lord and to your prayers“. Before she went to bed, Luisa called her, made her kneel beside her bed and together they spent a long time praying. My aunt then went to bed. She slept in a double bed beside Angelina. That night, Aunt Rosaria felt her body flooded with a sense of well-being. When she rose the next morning, she found that all her sores had dried up; they were covered only by thin scabs which came off during the day: she was perfectly cured. Rumors of the miracle spread, but no one dared to speak of it openly although everyone knew that Luisa had had a hand in it. The reason for this was that Luisa did not want these phenomena to be attributed to her. “I cannot work miracles, it is Our Lord who does them“, she asserted. This is why no extraordinary episode that occurred through her intervention was made public; all the same, news of such matters spread in silence.

Abba Father,
In the Name of Jesus
in Union with Power and Love of the Holy Spirit,
Under the Mantle of Mary, Our Mother and Queen
with all the Angels and Saints
And through the intercession of The Servant of God
Luisa Piccarreta and little Rosaria Bucci,

Dearest Jesus, we have been searching in vein
for cures and remedies for all illnesses.

We have neglected to ask You,
the Great Physician, for Divine Healing.
We daily listen to Your teachings and directions from
Luisa Piccarreta and we humbly come before you
begging Forgiveness and Clemency
for not Trusting in You completely.

We entrust ourselves to You, O Jesus,
in the name of everyone and everything
past, present, and future for Your Divine Healing
as You O God have promised.

So, we now ask You O Jesus for Your Divine Healing!
Your Divine Healing that You so abundantly
want to pour upon us,
Your little children of the Divine Will.

Depart cancer and all illnesses
of body, mind, and soul
in the Name of Jesus! 

Fill now that void with
The Powerful Divine Healing of Jesus,
Our Lord, Master and King!

On our knees we humbly and graciously,
Thank You Almighty God for Your Divine Healing!
Please take this, our little prayer
and make it Your Command.

That All may be Accomplished and Completed
in Your Most Holy Divine Will. 

We Believe
We Receive
So be it!
Fiat! 

Amen.

Traditional – Feast of Christ the King

All Hallows’ Eve October 31, 2021

This world has been subject to grave evils, as with child sacrificing in the time of Moses, to the rescue of victims by Our Lady of Guadalupe, to the horror of modern-day abortions and trafficking. These evils continue and abound in these times, and so the little children of the Divine Will offer the following Novena in preparation for the Feast of Christ the King, to bring all evils to an end.

Novena of Prayer: begins October 22, 2021, through October 30, 2021

with Special day of Prayer and Fasting: October 31, 2021

We pray in honor of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Our King and Great High Priest, through Our Lady, Mother and Queen of the Divine Will and through the little daughter of the Divine Will Luisa Piccarreta, in the name of everyone, past, present and future, invoking the Holy Archangels and all Holy Angels and Saints.

“So will it be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will Send His Angels,
and they will Collect out of His Kingdom
all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
Then the righteous will
Shine like the Sun
in the Kingdom of their Father.”
Mt 13:40-44

V29 – 4.16.21 – Jesus to Luisa – “These Angels gather your Acts and form with them a Crown, and, prostrate, they offer it to the Divinity as requital for what Our Divine Will did, so that It may be known and form Its Kingdom upon earth.  But this is not all; I Myself AM at the Head of these Angels, Guiding you and Watching over you in everything, and forming in you the very Acts and that Love which is needed so that you may have sufficient Love to be able to requite So Many Great Works of Our Supreme Volition.”  

Daily Prayer:

My Lord and my God! Under the Mantle of Our Lady, Mother of all, and Queen of the Angels, and through the intercession of the little daughter of the Divine Will, Luisa Piccarreta, we pray:

Your Unending Mercy has called me, poor soul, in the name of all souls, past, present and future, to stand by my brothers and sisters, to Echo Your Own Desires to Save all souls (V11). I place all souls into Your Arms, that You may Recognize them all as Your children, Inscribe them one by one into Your Heart, and Place them Inside Your Wounds (V16-11.24.23). I Echo Your Prayers, Jesus, Mary and Luisa, for all souls, sinners and saints, innocent and wicked (V17–7.25.24), so that the Life of the Divine Will Reign in all souls, and ALL EVILS END as though under one single Blow, and they lose life (V20-1.28.27).

Lord, let us stand in the Protection of Your Holy Angels that You have sent us, to Seal Your Communities against the final dreadful assault of hell. Let us be Sealed, so that in Your Communities we may await You in Peace, Love and Joy. Protect all children who come into the world, and Bring all souls home, whom You Call from the earth, Home to Our Father’s House in Heaven. Restore us and all souls to the Freedom of the Children of God.

St. Michael the Archangel, Conqueror of Lucifer,
Angel of Faith and humility,
Guardian of the Anointing of the Sick,
Patron of the dying,
Prince of heavenly hosts,
Guide of souls to the Judgment Seat of God,
Teach us to fight through humility; to conquer through obedience and silence; and to love and be faithful.

St. Gabriel the Archangel, Angel of the Incarnation,
Faithful messenger of God,
Angel of Hope and of Peace,
Protector of all servants and handmaids of God,
Guardian of Baptism,
Patron of Priests,
Help us to attain integrity and readiness; to be a place of Rest on earth for Our Lord.

St. Raphael the Archangel, Angel of Divine Love,
Vanquisher of the evil foe,
Helper in great distress,
Angel of suffering and of healing,
Patron of doctors, wanderers and travelers,
Multiply your Strength and the host of Angelic Helpers in these times, since the whole world is beginning to burn; that the Love of God may be Victorious everywhere!

Our Lady, Mother and Queen, our little mama Luisa, Rosaria Bucci, Holy Angels and Saints, Pray for the Protection and Healing of all God’s children. Amen!

Fatima – Apparition October 13, 1917

Apparition of 13 October 1917

During the night of 12-13 October it had rained throughout, soaking the ground and the pilgrims who make their way to Fátima from all directions by the thousands. By foot, by cart and even by car they came, entering the bowl of the Cova from the Fátima-Leiria road, which today still passes in front of the large square of the Basilica. From there they made their way down the gently slope to the place where a trestle had been erected over the little holm oak of the apparitions. Today on the site is the modern glass and steel Capelhina (little chapel), enclosing the first chapel built there and the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima where the holm oak had stood.

As for the children, they made their way to the Cova amid the adulation and skepticism which had followed them since May. When they arrived they found critics who questioned their veracity and the punctuality of the Lady, who had promised to arrive at noon. It was well passed noon by the official time of the country. However, when the sun arrived at its zenith the Lady appeared as she had said she would.

“What do you want of me?”

I want a chapel built here in my honor. I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day. The war will end soon, and the soldiers will return to their homes.

“Yes. Yes.”
“Will you tell me your name?”

I am the Lady of the Rosary.

“I have many petitions from many people.
Will you grant them? ”

Some I shall grant, and others I must deny. People must amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend our Lord any more, for He
is already too much offended!

“And is that all you have to ask?”

There is nothing more.

As the Lady of the Rosary rises toward the east she turns the palms of her hands toward the dark sky. While the rain had stopped, dark clouds continued to obscure the sun, which suddenly bursts through them and is seen to be a soft spinning disk of silver.

“Look at the sun!”

From this point two distinct apparitions were seen, that of the phenomenon of the sun seen by the 70,000 or so spectators and that beheld by the children alone. Lucia describes the latter in her memoirs.

After our Lady had disappeared into the immense distance of the firmament, we beheld St. Joseph with the Child Jesus and Our Lady robed in white with a blue mantle, beside the sun. St. Joseph and the Child Jesus seemed to bless the world, for they traced the Sign of the Cross with their hands. When, a little later, this apparition disappeared, I saw Our Lord and Our lady; it seemed to me to that it was Our Lady of Sorrows (Dolors). Our Lord appeared to bless the world in the same manner as St. Joseph had done. This apparition also vanished, and I saw Our Lady once more, this time  resembling Our Lady of Carmel. [Only Lucia would see the later, presaging her entrance into Carmel some years later.]

This would be the last of the apparitions of Fátima for Jacinta and Francisco. However, for Lucia Our Lady would return a seventh time, in 1920, as she had promised the previous May. At that time Lucia would be praying in the Cova before leaving Fátima for a girls boarding school. The Lady would come to urge her to dedicate herself wholly to God.

As the children viewed the various apparitions of Jesus, Mary and Joseph the crowd witnessed a different prodigy, the now famous miracle of the sun. Among the witnesses there were the following:

O Seculo (a pro-government, anti-clerical, Lisbon paper):
From the road, where the vehicles were parked and where hundreds of people who had not dared to brave the mud were congregated, one could see the immense multitude turn toward the sun, which appeared free from clouds and in its zenith. It looked like a plaque of dull silver, and it was possible to look at it without the least discomfort. It might have been an eclipse which was taking place. But at that moment a great shout went up, and one could hear the spectators nearest at hand shouting: “A miracle! A miracle!
Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bareheaded, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws—the sun “danced” according to the typical expression of the people.
Standing at the step of an omnibus was an old man. With his face turned to the sun, he recited the Credo in a loud voice. I asked who he was and was told Senhor Joao da Cunha Vasconcelos. I saw him afterwards going up to those around him who still had their hats on, and vehemently imploring them to uncover before such an extraordinary demonstration of the existence of God.
Identical scenes were repeated elsewhere, and in one place a woman cried out: “How terrible! There are even men who do not uncover before such a stupendous miracle!”
People then began to ask each other what they had seen. The great majority admitted to having seen the trembling and the dancing of the sun; others affirmed that they saw the face of the Blessed Virgin; others, again, swore that the sun whirled on itself like a giant Catherine wheel and that it lowered itself to the earth as if to burn it in its rays. Some said they saw it change colors successively….

From the Book of Heaven
Vol. 20 – 10/13/26 – How the Divine Will shall form the eclipse for the human will.

I was fusing all of myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and while I was going around in It, doing my acts, my beloved Jesus moved in my interior and told me: “My daughter, each act, prayer and pain that the soul makes enter into the light of My Will, becomes light and forms one more ray in the Sun of the Eternal Volition.
These rays form the most beautiful glory that the creature can give to the Divine Fiat, in such a way that, seeing Itself so glorified by Its own light, It invests these rays with new knowledges that, converting into voices, manifest to the soul more surprises about My Will.
“But do you know what these knowledges of Mine form for the creature? They form the eclipse for the human will. The stronger the light is, the more the rays are, and the more strongly the human will remains dazzled and eclipsed by the light of My knowledges; in such a way, that it almost feels impotent to act, and it gives field to the action of the light of My Will. The human will remains occupied within the action of My Will, and it lacks the time, the place, to make its own will act.
“It is like the human eye when it stares at the sun: the strength of the light invests the pupil, and lording over it, it renders it impotent to look at other things; but in spite of this, the eye has not lost its vision. It is the strength of the light that has this power: it takes away any other object from one who looks at it, and allows him to look at nothing but light.
“I will never take free willing away from the human will—a great gift, given to man in creating him, that makes creatures distinguishable as to whether they want to be My true children, or not. But, rather, with the light of the knowledges about My Will, I will form more than solar rays, and whoever wants to know them and look at them, will be invested by this light; in such a way that, eclipsed, the human will will take delight and love in looking at this light, and will feel fortunate that the action of the light takes the place of its own. And it will lose love and delight for other things. This is why I am saying so much about My Will—to form the strong light, because the stronger it is, the greater is the eclipse it forms in order to occupy the human will.
“Look at the sky—it is an image of this. If you look at it at night, you see it studded with stars; but if you look at it during the day, the stars no longer exist for the human eye. However, they are still at their place in the sky, just as at nighttime. Who had this strength to make the stars disappear, though they are present in the full daylight? The sun. With the strength of its light, it eclipsed them, but did not destroy them; and this is so true that, when the sun begins to set, so do they return to make themselves seen in the vault of the heavens. It seems that they are afraid of the light, and they hide to give field to the action of the light of the sun, because, in their mute language, they know that the sun contains more effects of goods for the earth, and it is right that they give field to the great action of the sun; and so, as homage to it, they let themselves be eclipsed by its light. But as the eclipse ends, so do they make themselves be seen—present at their place.
“So it will be between the Sun of the knowledges about the Supreme Fiat and the human wills that will let themselves be illuminated by these rays of light of My knowledges: these will bring the eclipse to the human wills that, in seeing the great good of the action of its light, will feel ashamed and afraid to act with the human will, and will give free field to the action of the light of the Divine Will.
Therefore, the more you pray and suffer in It, the more knowledges you draw to be manifested to you, and the stronger the light becomes, so as to be able to form the sweet eclipse for the human will. In this way, I will be able to establish the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.”

From the Letters Of Luisa – Feelings vs. Will

  1. To Mother Elisabetta

J.M.J.A. – Fiat!!!

In Voluntate Dei, D.G.

My good and Reverend Mother,

I was about to send you my letter through your dear sister when I received yours – so pleasing to me.  My Mother, do not afflict yourself with what you feel in the depth of your soul; these are works that Jesus does in order to accomplish His great designs.  And to work Jesus uses now the material of light, now of obscurity, now of the isolation in which your soul feels lonely, and maybe even without the One Whom you love and Who loves you very much.  But Jesus never leaves you – He hides; and in His hiding, the ardor of His love is so great that He gives you hidden kisses and tender hugs; but He gives them slowly and quietly, so as not to be felt.  However, He can’t last too long with all this, and when you least expect it, He makes Himself felt in the depth of the soul in order to sustain you and to enjoy His works.  My Mother, with Jesus it takes patience, faithfulness and peace, in order to let Him proceed in the work of forming the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat.  He wants to be free, and He does not want us to be concerned with what we feel.  So what can we do?  This is the eclipse of the Sun of the Divine Volition, which reaches the point of eclipsing Jesus with Its refulgent rays.  Therefore, you, pray for me, as I need it very much.

I send the greeting of the Fiat to your good sister Elisa, to my daughter, Sister Gioacchina, and to the whole Community.  Lina wrote, saying that she is very happy.  Please, don’t forget to pray for me, and with all my heart I will do it for you.  And leaving you on the way, in the unending light of the Supreme Fiat, where everything is peace, harmony and fortitude, kissing your right hand, I say,

your most devoted and affectionate servant,
Luisa Piccarreta

Corato, January 28, 1929
P.S.  Thank you for the rosaries.  My sister Angela kisses your right hand and sends her heartfelt regards.  Mother Superior of Oria asks for comfort.


  1. J.M.J.

Fiat – In Voluntate Dei!

My good daughter in the Divine Volition,

Courage and trust.  The Divine Will has found Its work in your soul, and when you suffer more, it seems that Jesus wants to hasten His work, to have the contentment of seeing you as He wants and likes, and to be able to say:  “My daughter is like Me, in the sufferings as much as in wanting what I Myself wanted – only the Will of the Celestial Father.  How happy I am!  It is true that you suffer, but I run to sustain you in my arms, that you may feel my strength and the powerful breath of my Will which is creating in you the new life I want, and converts all of your pains into precious gems of love.  And when I feel embittered, I run, I come to you, to be sweetened in your pains which carry the seal of my Divine Will, and to sweeten the bitternesses that, unfortunately, the other creatures give Me.  Therefore, I recommend to you, my daughter:  be patient, be my host, let Me come to be consecrated in you.  But I do not want you as a dead host, but alive and speaking; and may your suffering be the lamp, always lit, which never extinguishes, and which loves Me incessantly.”

My blessed daughter, how good is Jesus!  It seems that He reduces us to dust in order to give us new life, and to find His own Life in us.

Therefore, I recommend:  in whatever state you feel, be always tranquil – do not think of cold or warm.  The Divine Will is more than everything:  more than prayer, more than recollection, more than fervor, more than miracles – more than everything.  So, my daughter, let us remain always united in the Divine Will.  Pray for me, and from the heart I will do it for you.

I send you a kiss and a tight hug in the Divine Will,

Most affectionately yours,
The little daughter of the Divine Will.

Corato, June 30, 1940


  1. To Sister Remigia

Fiat

My good daughter Sister Remigia,

I beg you not to waste time.  Oh, how I would love to hear you say:  “I do not think about whether I am beautiful or bad, or whether I am cold or warm.  My thought is to make all my acts and my being flow in the Will of God.”  Then Jesus will take care of making you a saint, of rendering you constant and good as He wants you to be.  As long as you keep the thought of yourself, even in good, Jesus will not take the reins to lead you and to make of you another Jesus, the repeater of His Life.  Let Jesus do, and you will see that soon you will feel totally different from the way you feel now.  Jesus can do things better than we; so, let Him Do.

I send you my wishes; but do you know which ones?  That you may no longer recognize yourself in yourself, but in Jesus.  Oh, how He will love you!  He will carry you in His arms, and give you a place in His little Heart.  Be attentive, and live all abandoned in Jesus.  Regards from my heart,

Your most affectionate aunt,

The little daughter of the Divine Will.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel – July 16

The Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Hermits lived on Mount Carmel near the Fountain of Elijah in northern Israel in the 12th century. They had a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For centuries the Carmelites have seen themselves as specially related to Mary. Their great saints and theologians have promoted devotion to her and often championed the mystery of her Immaculate Conception.

Saint Teresa of Avila called Carmel “the Order of the Virgin.” Saint John of the Cross credited Mary with saving him from drowning as a child, leading him to Carmel, and helping him escape from prison. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus believed that Mary cured her from illness. On her First Communion day, Thérèse dedicated her life to Mary. During the last days of her life she frequently spoke of Mary.

There is a tradition–which may not be historical—that Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock, a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way.
