When the Divine Will Reigns in Souls
May the Kingdom of the Divine Will come and reign on Earth as it does in Heaven.
COMMENT: Hearts fused - Jesus, "..our fused hearts beat together."
April 1, 1916
Detachment and Fidelity in a Soul Make Her Pulsate As One
with Jesus.
This morning my sweet Jesus manifested Himself within my heart, and
there our fused hearts beat together. I saw Him, and He said to me: "My
daughter, within whoever truly loves Me and in all things does my Will, his
heartbeat and Mine become as one to such an extent that I call his heartbeats
Mine. Being Mine, I want them all around and even within the beating of my own
Heart. They are dedicated to console Me and sweeten Me. All his heartbeats in
my own heartbeat will form a sweet harmony that will repeat all my Life and
talk to Me of souls, compelling Me to save them.
"But to echo my heartbeat, what a tremendous detachment is
needed! One needs to live more a heavenly life than an earthly one, more divine
than human. It takes but a shadow, a small thing, to keep a soul from feeling
the power, the harmonies and the holiness of my heartbeat, and thus keep it from
echoing my own beat in harmony with Me. When that happens I am obligated to be
alone with my sorrow or my joy, a sorrow caused by souls who make endless
promises to Me, but which, when it
comes down to making a decision, defraud Me of these promises."
Luisa Piccarreta
