The Divine Mercy or The
Divine Will? It Can't Be Both As That Does Not Make Sense
The Divine
Will (Luisa Piccarretta – 1899-1938) private revelations and
writings (Book of Heaven) came out before and during The
Divine Mercy (St Maria Faustina Helena Kowalska – 1934-1938)
private revelations and writings (Divine Mercy In My Soul, Diary).
To begin with, I find this timing to be strange. Also, it is
obvious to me (and was obvious to me from the very beginning I heard
about it), that these two private revelations contradict each other.
In fact I have felt this way since I first learned about “The
Divine Will” in 2018.
Furthermore, I had a
mystical experience following my very first experience with this
back in 2018. However, until now I have kept my opinion mostly to
myself. Why you ask? Well the reason is, because I felt I needed more
time for prayer and discernment. However, recently I have had some
people at my parish approach me and ask me whether or not I have a devotion to
“The Divine Will.” As one would assume, my answer was a definite “No”,
considering my opinion on the matter based on my own mystical
experience and research that followed. My own
private revelations of “The Divine Mercy Image” are testimony to
“The Divine Mercy” message and devotion (St. Faustina).
My private revelation with "The Divine Will"
(vs "The Divine Mercy") was added on December 1, 2021 and can be
found towards the end of this page.
Grand Deception
of Satan
It seems the
Holy Spirit is prompting me at this time to share my personal opinion of “The Divine Will” with others.
Personally, I do not recommend this devotion. In fact, I have formed
the opinion that it is heresy and of a diabolical nature (grand
deception of Satan).
If we are indeed
living in “The Divine Will” it follows in my mind that we don’t need “The
Divine Mercy” – the reason being that “when one receives this new
"Sacrament" of the Divine Will, the human will ceases to function, as
such and the Divine Will acts in the creature in such a way that the
action is purely divine.”(Fr. Terrance (Terry) Staples)
In
essence, we no longer have free will. Also, it follows that we are
no longer responsible for our actions which would make us robots of
God. I find this concept to be very disturbing as our free will
is one of the greatest gifts God has given each and every one of us.
If you look around us worldwide, you will notice our
free will is currently
under attack in all aspects of society. How does that make you feel?
Uncertain? Confused? Tired? Sad? Anxious? Afraid? Depressed? Uncomfortable? Hopeless? Frustrated?
Angry? Undignified? Controlled? Cancelled? Dehumanized Etc ....??? Does totalitarianism
ring a bell? That should be a clear sign to you
that Satan and his demons are in our midst and that we are in an intense spiritual
battle for souls.
Satan wants
you under "his boots" you could say when it should be the other way
around. Notice that Satan is depicted under the feet of both The
Virgin Mary, Mother of God and St. Michael The Archangel. Well Satan
wants it the other way around - remember he is the one that
challenged God when he said "I will be like the most High!" He is
a divination spirit and immensely smarter than we are. He indeed
will become your God if you fall for his great deception.
Now is not the time, to sit there in spiritual
sloth and do nothing! God wants us to act to save souls. Satan knows
this is his last opportunity to take souls so he is very busy!
However, have no fear, St. Michael and the rest of the heavenly army
is also in our midst. Pray The Rosary,The Divine Mercy
Chaplet and The St. Michael Prayer daily! While doing so, ask the
Lord to cover you with His Precious Blood to shield you from Satan's
deception.
The Divine Will Devotion
Encourages Spiritual Sloth and Delusions of Grandeur
Servium is Latin for "I will
serve." This was the cry of St. Michael the Archangel as a response
to Lucifer's "I will not serve" (Non servium) when God put the
angels to the test. In essence, Lucifer wanted to be "God" ... to me
it is Lucifer's voice resounding in this alleged "Sacrament of The
Divine Will" (LP) for upon asking for and receiving this gift one would
surely be "like God" and therefore would have no need for "The
Divine Mercy" message and devotion. Following from this, there would
be no need for us to serve our brothers and sisters nor God.
Therefore, there would be no judgement no hell, and no purgatory as
we would already be like God (holy). Heaven would be guaranteed.
Also, there would be no real need of the Sacraments, nor Prayer. This
ideology is totally against the teachings of Jesus Christ in the
scriptures and the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
The "Divine
Will" (LP) devotion encourages spiritual sloth and a loveless and
merciless approach to our fellow man and God which is a mortal sin -
God is not a "McDonald's" in that "He does it all for you" (The 2
Greatest Commandments given to us by Jesus is proof of this)! The
truth is, it is our free will that moves our God given graces which
kindles our faith and love and mercy (Jesus is"The Divine Mercy") in our souls. This
alone is our path to holiness. The choice is ours as to whether we
want to follow the light (holy) and serve Jesus Christ or stay in the
dark (sin) and serve Satan.
"And thou saidst in thy heart: I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the
north. I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like
the most High." ( Prophecy of Isaias (Isaiah) 14:13-14)

What The Saints
Have To Say Regarding Private Revelations
Saint Paul The Apostle
(Feast Day: June 29)
“But even if we or an angel from heaven
should preach to you a gospel other than that which we have preached
to you, let him be anathema!” (Galatians 1:9)
Saint Thomas Aquinas,
a Doctor of the
Church
(Feast Day: January 28)
Saint Thomas Aquinas taught that all public
revelation ended with the death of Saint John the Apostle.
Private revelations cannot surpass, correct, improve, fulfill,
complete, or perfect public revelation.
Saint
Teresaof Avila, a Doctor of the Church:
(Feast Day: October 15)
In her autobiography she
writes,
” I only regard a
revelation as true if it is in no way contrary to Holy Scripture and
to the laws of the church, which we are obliged to follow.” The
soul favoured with extraordinary graces “feels capable of
confounding all the demons in order to uphold the smallest of the
truths taught by the Church!” If a revelation “departed ever so
little from Holy Scripture, I would see it in a snare of the Devil
… in such a case, it is not necessary to look for any other signs
nor even to examine what manner of spirit it is. This mark alone so
clearly unveils the wiles of the evil spirit that, were all the
world to assure me that it is the spirit of God, I would still not
believe it.”
Saint Pope John Paul II, Homily
at Mass in Fatima, May 13,1982 (Feast Day: October 22)
“Convert and
repent
6. The Church has always taught and continues to proclaim that God's
revelation was brought to completion in Jesus Christ, who is the
fullness of that revelation, and that "no new public revelation is
to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord" (Dei
Verbum, 4). The Church evaluates and judges private revelations by
the criterion of conformity with that single public Revelation.”
I have recently been asked,
and I often get asked, about Luisa Piccarreta and “the Kingdom of
the Divine Will.”The Church has neither approved nor formally
condemned these “private revelations,” the teachings contained
therein, and the movement based on the teaching. All is under
investigation by the Church. But to answer the question of what I
think, I am going to post two articles my brother, Fr. Terry
Staples, wrote concerning the topic some years ago.
In a nutshell, I will say I am very skeptical that this private
revelation has heaven as its source. In fact, I believe it is a
great and very dangerous deception. I will repeat what my brother
makes clear in his articles: the Church has not spoken definitively
on the matter, but there are, I believe (in agreement with my
brother), serious problems with these “revelations.”
Here is the
first of the two articles written by my brother, Fr. Terry
(Terrance) Staples:
Luisa
Piccaretta and the Divine Will - Fr. Terrance Staples, Catholic
Priest - Tim Staples, Catholic Apologist
Luisa Piccarreta’s Kingdom of the Divine Will: Divine Revelation
or Deceptive Innovation?
What if someone told you they had a collection of writings from
Jesus Himself which contained spiritual insights and prayers–never
before revealed to anyone in the Church–which could show you how to
achieve a greater union with God, a greater holiness, than ever
before possible? . . . a holiness which would place you far, far,
above all the Saints that have gone before us? Sounds great, right?
Too good to be true? I’m afraid that’s right too.
Unfortunately, there is a new theology on the market which is making
outrageous claims and many good Catholics are being deceived into
believing a very dangerous delusion. This new theology is based on
the writings of Luisa Piccarreta which, of course, she claims to
have received directly from Jesus Himself. According to these
writings, Luisa has ushered-in a new Era in the Church–a new
dispensation has dawned. The long awaited “Kingdom of the Divine
Will” has finally come from heaven to earth. Are you confused yet? I
will try to explain.
What is the “Kingdom of the Divine Will”?
According to the alleged revelations of Luisa Piccarreta there
are three great Eras in salvation history which correspond to, and
follow from, three great “fiats.” The first great fiat is the
creative fiat: God creates all things by His Word—His “fiat”; this
initiates the “age of creation.” The second fiat was made by the
Blessed Virgin Mary: “let it be done to me…”; this ushered in the
“age of redemption.” Finally, after many years of struggle and
turmoil in the Church, God has decided to complete the work of
creation and redemption by inspiring the third fiat: Luisa
Piccarreta said, “let it be done to me…”; and her fiat, which is on
an equal par with the fiat of creation and the fiat of our Blessed
Mother, has brought the Church to a new level of sanctity. We now
enter the “Era of Sanctification.” With Luisa’s fiat, the Kingdom of
the Divine Will has come to earth and is available to all who will
say “yes” to the Divine Will. Eventually, this new gift to the
Church, the gift of the Divine Will, will spread to all its members
and all of creation will be restored to a manner of life on a par
with the life of Adam and Eve before the Fall. This new Kingdom is
referred to as the Kingdom of the Divine Will (KDW).
This talk about “three Eras,” three “fiats,” an “Age of
Sanctification” and the advent of the “Kingdom of the Divine Will”
should sound very strange to Catholic ears simply because it has
never been taught by the Church; but, the question before us today
is: could it possibly be true? After all, can’t God do whatever He
wants? How can we judge such as claim? Before answering these
questions, we will first consider this new theology more deeply.
What Does it Mean to “Live in the Kingdom of the Divine Will”?
According to Luisa’s revelations, to “live in the Divine Will”
is to literally possess the Divine Will itself in such a way that
your actions become purely divine. Before Luisa came along, all that
could be achieved by the Saints was a “poor and lowly union with
God.” They could, by grace, do God’s will, but they could not
actually possess the Divine Will and have It act in their stead.
This new way of possessing the Divine Will has been introduced to
the Church by Jesus Himself through Luisa (although Adam, Eve, and
our Blessed Mother had this gift prior to Luisa). Here is how Jesus
allegedly explains this new way of acting to Luisa: “When a soul
acts in my Will her humanity is, as it were, suspended. Then the
Divine Life of my Love takes its place and acts; and, as it acts in
a creature, my love finds itself unburdened of its desire for
expression” (BH, p. 94). [1] Contrasting the “old way” of
holiness–i.e. obedience to God’s will by grace–with the new way–i.e.
possession of the Divine Will– Jesus allegedly tells Luisa, “. . .
to live in My Will is to reign in It and with It, while to do My
Will [the “old way”] is to be at My orders. …To live in My Will is
to live with a single Will–God’s Will–a Will all Holy, all Pure, all
Peace.” [2] Many more examples could be sighted from her writings,
hopefully this is enough to convey just how radical her claims
really are. This leads us to the next question.
How Does One Receive the Gift of the Divine Will?
To receive this sublime gift of the Divine Will you must do two
things: (1) become familiar with Luisa’s writings, and (2) fervently
ask for the gift. Since Jesus has allegedly deposited this new
doctrine with Luisa, the only way to receive the understanding
necessary to acquire the gift is to have recourse to Luisa’s
writings. Jesus refers to her as the “second mother” to the Church,
surpassed in sanctity only by the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our Lord
allegedly says to Luisa:
Since my Mother [Mary] was entrusted to Me and, being a Priest to
Her, I entrusted to Her as a sanctuary all the laws, precepts and
doctrines that the Church needed to possess. And, faithful as She
was and zealous for even one of my words so they would not be lost,
She deposited them in my faithful disciple, John. And for that
reason my Mother has supremacy over all the Church. In the same way
I have done this with you [Luisa]. Being necessary to serve the Fiat
Voluntas Tua to all the Church, I have entrusted you to one of my
ministers so that you might deposit in him everything I reveal to
you about my Will: The Goods that it contains and how the creature
should enter into it and how the paternal kindness wants to open
another era of grace, putting the goods he possesses in heaven in
common with the creature and restoring to man his lost happiness.
(p. 14, BH).
At this point, you may be thinking, “This sounds strange, but how do
I know whether or not God has given the Church a second mother who
has made a way for us to achieve a new level of sanctity? This
brings us to the $10,000.00 question:
What’s Wrong with the KDW?
The doctrine associated with the KDW, as presented above, is
very problematic to say the least. For the purposes of this article,
I will focus on one major problem: it violates the Catholic notion
of Divine Revelation. In the First Eucharistic Prayer of the Holy
Mass, the Church proclaims a central teaching of the Catholic faith:
“. . . we offer them [the gifts] for all who hold and teach the
Catholic faith that comes to us from the Apostles.” The Second
Vatican Council teaches us:
Everything we need for holiness and increase in faith has been
handed on from the Apostles once and for all (cf. Jude 3). What was
handed on by the apostles comprises everything that serves to make
the People of God live their lives in holiness and increase their
faith. In this way the Church, in her doctrine, life and worship,
perpetuates and transmits to every generation all that she herself
is, all that she believes. (DV #8).
Contrary to this teaching, Jesus allegedly revealed to Luisa that
“everything that serves to make the People of God live their lives
in holiness . . .” was not handed on from the Apostles. Rather,
Jesus told her that God has waited for this time in history to
reveal to the Church a new and better way of holiness unknown to the
Apostles. These are allegedly Jesus’ words to Luisa,
“…it is certain that I have called you first over other souls.
Because to no other souls, however much I have loved them, have I
shown How to live in my Will, The effects, the marvels, the riches
that the creature receives who acts in my supreme will. Search the
lives of the Saints as much as you wish or in books of doctrine and
you will not find the wonders of My Will working in the creature and
the creature acting in my will. The most you will find will be
resignation, abandonment, the union of wills, but the divine will
working in the creature and the creature in my will, you will not
find this in anyone. This signifies that the time had not arrived in
which my kindness would call the creature to live in such a sublime
state. Moreover, even the way I ask you to pray is not found in any
other…” (BH, p. xix).
Clearly, we have a contradiction here, right? I think so, but for
the KDW enthusiast, some possible objections remain unanswered.
Further clarification is necessary.
What about Private Revelation?
If it is true that “everything we need for holiness and increase
in faith has been handed on from the Apostles,” what about all the
sacramentals and devotions in the Church which have been introduced
after the Apostles? What about the Rosary, the Scapular, the
Miraculous Medal, Louis DeMontfort’s consecration to Mary? Aren’t
these things “needed for holiness and increase in faith”? In order
to answer this objection and distinguish between these sacramentals
and Luisa’s new doctrine, we must understand the role of private
revelation in the Church. For this we look to our handy Catechism:
“Throughout the ages, there have been so called “private”
revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of
the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It
is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive
Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of
history….
“Christian faith cannot accept “revelations” that claim to surpass
or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfilment, as is
the case in certain non Christian religions and also in certain
recent sects which base themselves on such ‘revelations.’” (CCC
#67).
Notice the role of private revelations: they help us to live more
fully by the Revelation that we already have. They cannot “improve
or complete” what comes to us from the Apostles. Thus, devotions,
which are sometimes based upon private revelation, such as the
Rosary, Scapular, etc…, do not, and cannot, add any new doctrine to
the Church; they simply help us to express and live our faith in a
certain period of history. Our Holy Father, John Paul II, emphasized
this point while making a pilgrimage to Fatima. He said,
“The Church has always taught and continues to proclaim that God’s
revelation was brought to completion in Jesus Christ, who is the
fullness of that revelation, and that “no new public revelation is
to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord” (Dei
Verbum, 4). The Church evaluates and judges private revelations by
the criterion of conformity with that single public Revelation. If
the Church has accepted the message of Fatima, it is above all
because that message contains a truth and a call whose basic content
is the truth and the call of the Gospel itself.” [3]
From what has been said, the following criteria for judging a
private revelation can be given: the teaching given in any private
revelation must be demonstrable from Scripture and Tradition apart
from any reference to the private revelation itself. In other words,
the deposit of faith, “everything we need for holiness and increase
of faith,” must be able to stand on its own without any reference to
private revelation.
Now, we are ready to apply this criteria to Luisa’s revelations.
Luisa’s “revelations” claim to do much more than help us live by
what we have received. She claims to have opened an entirely new
“era of grace” which was previously unknown to the Church. According
to her revelations, what we have received from the Apostles is not
enough to complete our sanctification–her revelations are essential.
Here are the alleged words of Jesus to Luisa:
“With three FIAT’s I will complete the work of sanctification in
man. . . . The generations will not cease until my Will reigns on
earth. My Redemptive FIAT [i.e. Mary’s] will interpose itself
between the Creative FIAT and the Sanctifying FIAT [Luisa’s]. They
will entwine, all three together, and bring to fulfillment the
sanctification of man. The Third FIAT [i.e. Luisa’s] will give
creatures such grace that they will return almost to their original
state. Only when I have seen man as he emerged from Me, will my work
be complete. Then will I enjoy perpetual repose in this, my last
FIAT. Only the Life of my Will shall return man anew to his original
state. Therefore, be attentive and together with Me, help Me
accomplish the sanctification of creatures.” (P. 125, BH).
Clearly, her revelations claim to improve and complete the
Revelation we have received from the Apostles. The promoters of the
KDW, basing themselves on Luisa’s writings, unabashedly claim that
without referring to her writings, and without her fiat, it is
impossible for us to reach the fullness of sanctity that God desires
for all Christians. This claim contradicts Catholic teaching.
At this point, I believe we’ve established that Luisa’s
“revelations” claim to do more than a private revelation can do.
But, another objection remains.
Development of Doctrine?
Some will argue that Luisa’s “new doctrine” is not new at all.
They claim that while her doctrine has obviously never been taught
by the Church, it has remained hidden in Sacred Scripture and thus
it is actually a part of the Revelation which comes to us from the
Apostles. The Church . . . well . . . the Church just never realized
it was there until Luisa. In other words, her teachings are defended
under the guise of a legitimate “development of doctrine.” To answer
this objection, we must review the Catholic understanding of how
doctrine can expand and develop over time.
There is a genuine development of doctrine within the Church which
is described in the Second Vatican Council as follows: “The
Tradition that comes from the apostles makes progress in the Church,
with the help of the Holy Spirit. There is a growth in insight into
the realities and words that are being passed on” (Dei Verbum, #8).
The important characteristic of a true development is that it is
gradual; i.e., it progresses and grows in the Church over time.
Following the example of Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed (Mk
4:31), legitimate development can be compared to the growth of a
plant. Over the years it gradually, almost unperceptively, expands
and yet remains the same plant. Our Catechism characterizes the
development of doctrine in this way:
“’The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and
definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public
revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of
our Lord Jesus Christ.’ Yet even if Revelation is already complete,
it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian
faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of
the centuries.” (CCC #66).
Hopefully, we can distinguish at this point the difference between
the development of doctrine and an innovation of doctrine (which
cannot be accepted). Every legitimate development in the Church must
be organically connected to the Tradition: it builds upon and
deepens what is already present in the minds of the faithful.
Luisa’s new doctrine is not, by her own admission, connected with
the Tradition; it is foreign to the mind of the Church. Therefore,
it does not qualify as a genuine development of doctrine.
Perhaps some examples will help clarify. Some have tried to compare
Luisa’s new teachings to the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary
which was not defined by the Church until 1950. “What about the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary?” they ask, “how can we say
that this doctrine comes to us from the Apostles?” We will let Pope
Pius XII answer this question and explain the rationale for defining
the Assumption as a legitimate development of doctrine:
“Since the universal Church, within which dwells the Spirit of Truth
who infallibly directs it toward an ever more perfect knowledge of
the revealed truths, has expressed its own belief many times over
the course of the centuries, and since the bishops of the entire
world are almost unanimously petitioning that the truth of the
bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven should be
defined as a dogma of divine and Catholic faith this truth which is
based on the Sacred Writings, which is thoroughly rooted in the
minds of the faithful, which has been approved in ecclesiastical
worship from the most remote times, which is completely in harmony
with the other revealed truths, and which has been expounded and
explained magnificently in the work, the science, and the wisdom of
the theologians we believe that the moment appointed in the plan of
divine providence for the solemn proclamation of this outstanding
privilege of the Virgin Mary has already arrived.” (Munificentissimus
Deus #41).
Notice the criterion the Holy Father specifies to demonstrate the
authenticity of the doctrine: it is “based on the Sacred Writings”,
it is “thoroughly rooted in the minds of the faithful,” it is
“approved in ecclesiastical worship from the most remote times,” it
is “completely in harmony with the other revealed truths,” etc….
These are the marks of a legitimate development of doctrine. The
doctrine of the Assumption cannot be traced to any individual
person. It was not conceived as a personal “revelation.” It is
rooted in Scripture and Tradition and has been an approved doctrine
from the earliest days of Christianity.
How does Luisa’s doctrine stand up against these criterion?
Unfortunately, the doctrine of a new “Era of Sanctification”
initiated by a third “fiat” which would be necessary to bring our
sanctification and redemption to completion, is simply not found in
the Tradition. It is by definition, and by Luisa’s own admission, a
new doctrine never before revealed to the Church: it is completely
outside the deposit of faith. It fails every test of being an
authentic development . . . it is not Catholic teaching.
There is one last objection which I feel obliged to address since I
have personally encountered this many times. Some will argue: “But,
Adam, Eve and Mary received the gift of the Divine Will, this proves
that it is not ‘new doctrine.’” Or, what amounts to the same
argument: “But Luisa’s writings fulfill the Lord’s prayer, doesn’t
this imply they are rooted in Scripture and Tradition?” Both these
questions obviously employ circular reasoning: they beg the
question. The question is, do her writings fulfill the Lord’s
prayer? We cannot conclude that they do, simply because they say
they do. That would be a circular argument. How, then, can we know?
The answer is, we must interpret the Scriptures with the mind of the
Church. The Second Vatican Council teaches: “But since sacred
Scripture must be read and interpreted with its divine authorship in
mind, no less attention must be devoted to the content and unity of
the whole of Scripture, taking into account the Tradition of the
entire Church and the analogy of faith, if we are to derive their
true meaning from the sacred texts” (DV #12). This is a very
important aspect of Catholic exegesis. We cannot base our
interpretation of Scripture solely on private revelation (cf. 2 Pet
1:20). Practically every heresy, every Protestant sect, every false
doctrine promoted under the name “Christian,” claims to be founded
on Sacred Scripture. Whenever we wrest the Scriptures from Tradition
we come away with an invalid interpretation. Luisa’s interpretation
of the Lord’s prayer is completely novel by her own admission. Luisa
claims that the words “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
actually refer to the coming of the “Era of Sanctification” in which
those who follow her teachings are elevated above all the Saints
that have gone before them. They will fulfill this prayer by
literally possessing the Divine Will on earth, and with this new
possession, accomplish God’s will on earth precisely as the Saints
do in heaven. Throughout the history of the Church we have seen
innumerable commentaries on the Lord’s Prayer. The Church, as our
Mother and Teacher, has drawn from the treasures of her Tradition
and offered rich instruction on the Lord’s Prayer, especially in the
Catechism of the Council of Trent and the new Catechism of the
Catholic Church. The Church has never understood the Lord’s Prayer
to have the meaning being promoted today by the KDW movement.
Luisa’s interpretation is based solely on private revelation, it has
no connection with the Tradition of the Church and is foreign to the
analogy of faith. The conclusion is obvious, Luisa’s writings do not
fulfill the Lord’s Prayer according to Catholic exegesis.
Conclusion
Having carefully and diligently studied this article, you are now
prepared to address that someone who might try to entice you into
believing that you can be part of a “new kingdom,” based on a “new
revelation,” which promises a new and improved version of holiness.
The Church teaches that everything we need for holiness and increase
in faith has been handed on from the Apostles “once and for all”
(Jude 3). Private revelations cannot add to this deposit of faith.
In summary, Luisa’s writings claim to complete
and surpass the revelation we have received from the Apostles; this
is simply impossible. God cannot contradict Himself. Luisa
explicitly denies that her doctrine has developed from the
Tradition; this means it is not Catholic teaching. If Luisa’s
writings are true, we will have to amend the First Eucharistic
Prayer: “. . . We offer [the gifts] for all who hold and teach the
Catholic faith that comes to us from the Apostles . . . and Luisa.”

"Divine Mercy is both a message and a

decide if we want to obey His two greatest commandments and we also
have the free will to decide if we want to do what it takes to get
to heaven!
God does not force us to love Him or our neighbour as
that decision is left up to us alone (free will). Would you want to
force someone to "love you (a lie)?" That would not be "true
love"(truth) would it? God says He "is Truth" so why would He want
to turn us into "robots" (or clones of Himself by replacing our
"free will" with His "Divine Will" (LP) such that we are forced to
love Him and be instantly holy like He is? That would be a "lie" - And we know
who the father of all lies is don't we?
"I am the Way; I am Truth and
Life. No one can come to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
“… Master, what must I
do to possess eternal life?
But he said to him:
What is written in the law? how readest thou? He answering, said: 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and
with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.' And he
said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my
neighbour? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him,
and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and
seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was
near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being
on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with
compassion. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in
oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an
inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two pence,
and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever
thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
'Which of these three, in thy opinion, was
neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?' But he
said: 'He that shewed mercy
to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.'
(Luke 10:25-37)
Saint Faustina's Visions of
Heaven, Hell and Purgatory I Grace & Free Will ( Divine Mercy In My Soul, Diary)
Two Roads - The Hard Road and The Easy Road - Which Road Will You Take?
"I saw
two roads. One was broad, covered with sand and flowers, full of
joy, music and all sorts of pleasures. People walked along it,
dancing and enjoying themselves. They reached the end without
realizing it. And at the end of the road there was a horrible
precipice; that is, the abyss of hell. The souls fell blindly into
it; as they walked, so they fell. And their number was so great that
it was impossible to count them.
And I saw
the other road, or rather, a path, for it was narrow and strewn with
thorns and rocks; and the people who walked along it had tears in
their eyes, and all kinds of suffering befell them. Some fell down
upon the rocks, but stood up immediately and went on. At the end of
the road there was a magnificent garden filled with all sorts of
happiness and all these souls entered there. At the very first
instant they forgot all their sufferings" (Diary 153).
Purgatory
"I
saw my Guardian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. In a moment I
was in a misty place full of fire in which there was a great crowd
of suffering souls. They were praying fervently, but to no avail,
for themselves; only we can come to their aid. The flames, which
were burning them, did not touch me at all. My Guardian Angel did
not leave me for an instant. I asked these souls what their greatest
suffering was. They answered me in one voice that their greatest
torment was longing for God. I saw Our Lady visiting the souls in
Purgatory. The souls call Her “The Star of the Sea”. She brings them
refreshment. I wanted to talk with them some more, but my Guardian
Angel beckoned me to leave. We went out of that prison of suffering.
[I heard an interior voice which said] ‘My mercy does not want
this, but justice demands it.' Since that time, I am in closer
communion with the suffering souls.’” (Diary 20)
Hell
"Today, I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell. It is a place
of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds
of tortures I saw: the first torture that constitutes hell is the
loss of God; the second is perpetual remorse of conscience; the
third is that one’s condition will never change; the fourth is the
fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it, a terrible
suffering, since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God’s anger;
the fifth torture is conditional darkness and a terrible suffocating
smell, and despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the
damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their
own; the sixth torture is the constant company of satan, the seventh
torture is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and
blasphemies. These are the tortures suffered by all the damned
together, but that is not the end of the sufferings. There are
special tortures destined for particular souls. These are the
torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes terrible and
indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has
sinned. There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of
agony differs from another. I would have died at the very sight of
these tortures if the omnipotence of God had not supported me. Let
the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in
those senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the
command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there
is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one can
say what it is like. I, sister Faustina, by the order of God, have
visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and
testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have
received a command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were
full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of
God. What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw.
But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who
disbelieved that there is a hell. When I came to, I could hardly
recover from the fright. How terribly souls suffer there!
Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the conversion of
sinners. I incessantly plead God’s mercy upon them. O my Jesus, I
would rather be in agony until the end of the world, amidst the
greatest sufferings, then offend You by the least sin." (Diary 741).
Heaven
"Today I was in heaven, in spirit, and I saw its unconceivable
beauties and the happiness that awaits us after death. I saw how all
creatures give ceaseless praise and glory to God. I saw how great is
happiness in God, which spreads to all creatures, making them happy;
and then all the glory and praise which springs from this happiness
returns to its source; and they enter into the depths of God,
contemplating the inner life of God, the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, whom they will never comprehend or fathom. This source
of happiness is unchanging in its essence, but it is always new,
gushing forth happiness for all creatures. Now I understand Saint
Paul, who said, “Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, not has it
entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who
love him.” (Diary 777)
And God
has given me to understand that there is but one thing that is of
infinite value in His eyes, and that is love of God; love, love and
once again, love; and nothing can compare with a single act of pure
love of God. Oh, with what inconceivable favors God gifts a soul
that loves Him sincerely! Oh, how happy is the soul who already here
on earth enjoys His special favors! And of such are the little and
humble souls. (Diary 778)
The sight
of this great majesty of God, which I came to understand more
profoundly and which is worshipped by the heavenly spirits according
to their degree of grace and the hierarchies into which they are
divided, did not cause my soul to be stricken with terror or fear;
no, no, not at all! My soul was filled with peace and love, and the
more I come to know the greatness of God, the more joyful I become
that He is as He is. And I rejoice immensely in His greatness and am
delighted that I am so little because, since I am little, He carries
me in His arms and holds me close to His Heart. (Diary 779)
O my God,
how I pity those people who do not believe in eternal life; how I
pray for them that a ray of mercy would envelop them too, and that
God would clasp them to His fatherly bosom." (Diary 780)
God's Graces &
Gift of Free Will - God Calls Us And It Is Up To Us If We Want To
Answer His Call Or Not?
Jesus told St.Faustina:
"I am more deeply wounded by the small
imperfections of chosen souls than by the sins of those living in
the world. It made me very sad that chosen souls make Jesus suffer,
and Jesus told me, These little imperfections are not all. I will
reveal to you a secret of My Heart: what I suffer from chosen souls.
Ingratitude in return for so many graces is My Heart's constant
food, on the part of [such] a chosen soul. Their love is lukewarm,
and My Heart cannot bear it; these souls force Me to reject them.
Others distrust My goodness and have no desire to experience that
sweet intimacy in their own hearts, but go in search of Me, off in
the distance, and do not find Me. This distrust of My goodness hurts
Me very much. If My death has not convinced you of My love, what
will? Often a soul wounds Me mortally, and then no one can comfort
Me. They use My graces to offend Me.
There are souls who
despise My graces as well as all the proofs of
My love. They do not wish to hear My
call, but proceed into the abyss of hell. The loss of
these souls plunges Me into deadly sorrow.
God though I am, I cannot help such a soul because
it scorns Me; having a
free will, it can spurn Me or love Me. You, who are
the dispenser of My mercy, tell all the world about My goodness, and
thus you will comfort My Heart." (Diary 580)
"Damnation is for the soul who
wants to be damned; but for the one who desires salvation, there is
the inexhaustible ocean of the Lord's mercy to draw from." (Diary
631)
"When I was at Kiekrz (1930) to
replace one of the sisters for a short time, I went across the
garden one afternoon and stopped on the shore of the lake; I stood
there for a long time, contemplating my surroundings. Suddenly I saw
the Lord Jesus near me, and he graciously said to me: "All this I
created for you My spouse; and know that all this beauty is nothing
compared to what I have prepared for you in eternity.""
(Diary 158)
Satan's Also Has a Kingdom and He Tries To
Mimic God Through His Deception
He Takes Advantage Of Suffering Souls That Are Not Aware Or Have
Forgotten That The Cross Is Salvation In The End. Jesus Himself Has
Proven This To Us.
"And no marvel; for even Satan fashions himself
into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14).
“a king over all the children of pride” (Job
41:34)
There are 6 Stages of the
Exorcism Process: Presence, Pretense, Breakpoint, Voice, Clash, and
Expulsion. "The Possessor (often referring to itself as
“the Kingdom”or in plural as “We”
selects victims gripped in
some spiritual, emotional and intellectual conflict with the
accepted mores of family, society and church, inserting itself
undetected into these fault lines and exploiting them with
catastrophic consequences. Loss of self identity, soul, or
personality follows as a result." [Source: Hostage To The Devil - book by Father
Malachi Martin, a trained exorcist in the Roman Catholic tradition. TradCatKnight Radio - Eric Gajewski]
The Words and Promises of Jesus are not Compatible With "The Divine Will" (LP)
“What eye
has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the
human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,” (1
Corinthians 2:9)
“For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14)
"As a bridegroom rejoices in
his bride, so shall your God rejoice in you." (Isaiah 62:5)
"The bride must resemble her Betrothed."
(Diary 268)
"There is but one price at which souls are
bought, and that is suffering united to My suffering on the cross."
(Diary 324)
"Love must be reciprocal. If Jesus tasted the
fullness of bitterness for me, then I His bride, will accept all
bitterness as proof of my love for Him." (Diary 389)
"These hosts have been received by souls
converted through your prayer and suffering. (Diary 709)
"My daughter, I
too came down from heaven out of love for you; I lived for you, I
died for you, and I created the heavens for you." (Diary 853)
“My child, life on earth is a struggle indeed; a great struggle for
My kingdom. But fear not, because you’re not alone. I am always
supporting you, so lean on Me as you struggle, fear nothing. Take
the vessel of trust and draw from the fountain of life – for
yourself, but also for other souls, especially such as are
distrustful of My goodness.” (Diary 1488)
The Scriptures On Final Judgement and The Holy
Spirit are not Compatible With "The Divine Will" (LP)
"According to Luisa’s
revelations, to “live in the Divine Will” is to literally possess
the Divine Will itself in such a way that your actions become purely
divine." (Fr. Terrance Staples)
This belief contradicts the
following scriptures and would make Jesus appear rather flaky and a
liar, would it not?
If this was indeed the case, why
would Jesus tell us He will return to judge us? If we were to become
purely divine, there would be no need for judgement. Why would He
instruct us to keep His commandments such that He will be with us
until the end of time (Holy Spirit) as that would not be necessary?
Is your head spinning in this cloud of confusion yet?
"And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. And
all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall
separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep
from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on his left. Then shall the king say to them that shall be
on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was
hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to
drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and you covered
me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee
hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we
see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? And
the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long
as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand:
Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared
for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you gave me not
to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. I was a
stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not:
sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. Then they also shall
answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister
to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you,
as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do
it to me. And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but
the just, into life everlasting." (Mathew 25:31-46)
"And instruct them to keep everything whatever I
have commanded you, and behold, I am with you every day, even unto
the end of time." (Matthew 28:20)
St. Paul confirms we are already
temples of the Lord so why would we need the gift of "The Divine
Will" (LP) when The Holy Spirit is already promised to guide and
help us in our journey while we are here on earth. He did not
promise we would become "purely divine" as otherwise why would he
give us a "helper" (Holy Spirit)? - that doesn't make any sense to
at all!
"Know you
not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?"
(1 Corinthians 3:16)
God (The Holy
Spirit/Paraclete) - Helper, Advocate, Comforter Not A Parasite
If we were to become purely
divine ("The Divine Will" LP), we would surely be like God, in
essence God would be more of
parasite rather than a helper (subject to our free will in that we
have to choose whether we want His help or not). To take this thought a little
further, would God not actually "possess our bodies, minds and
souls? Who does this remind you of - you got it, Satan (a parasite)!
Actually, it would be worse because Satan can only possess our
bodies and minds (emotions, not our free will), but not our souls! My head is spinning with all
these contradictions and questions and yours should be
too!
To cause confusion, division and dissent are tactics of Satan not
God! Our souls are exactly what the devil wants to possess
(literally) for all eternity!
"Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me? Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen
I say to you, he that believeth in me,
the works that I do, he also
shall do; and greater than these shall he do. Because I go to the
Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that
will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you shall
ask me anything in My name, that I will do.If you love me, keep my
commandments. And I will ask the Father,
and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you
for ever. The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him;
because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you. I will not
leave you orphans, I will come to you. Yet a little while: and the
world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you
shall live. In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and
you in me, and I in you." (John 14:11-20)
In this scripture, Jesus tells us
thatifwe believe in Him, we will do the works that He does
which follows from our faith and love. He
continues by telling us that whatever we ask of the Father in His
name, He will do. He further states that if we love Him and keep His
commandments, He will do what we ask from Him (provided it is good
for our souls). It is so obvious in this scripture that God expects
us to exercise our free will, to believe in Him or not and to keep
His commandments or not.
Doing God's Will (Holiness) Requires A
Child-Like Spirit (Trust, Dependence), Grace and Free Will - Our
Choice Alone: Good (Light , Truth, Heaven) Vs Evil (Darkness, Lies,
Hell)
(not "The gift of The Divine Will" LP)
Jesus wants us to do His will as
He expressed in "The Our Father Prayer" ("Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.") He left us because He is "God"
(omnipotent, all-seeing), both "The Creator" and "Our Father" at the
same time. Like any loving father (and more so because He is God),
He knows and wants what is best for us and that is not necessarily
giving us everything we want and ask for. He is more concerned
about our eternal soul than our bodies. Therefore, He often allows
suffering etc as it is necessary for our sanctification and
ultimately our eternal life in heaven with Him. If God wanted us to
be "Divine" (like Himself) why didn't He make us a "higher"
creature, like the angels (divination spirits) or better to begin
with? Instead, He wanted us to be a "smaller"
"child-like" creature, like He himself was (a baby
born in a manger). However, He elevated us above the angels by His
grace and it is our choice (free will) whether we want His graces or
not. The Catholic faith offers a multitude of avenues for us to
attain these graces (the main one being The Holy Sacraments). Also,
it is our choice (free will) to decide whether or not to place our trust in God, as a child would in their parents.
"Although My greatness is
beyond understanding, I commune only with those who are little.
I demand of you a childlike spirit." (Diary, 332)
"My Jesus, despite
Your graces, I see and feel all my misery. I begin my day with
battle and end it with battle. As soon as I conquer one obstacle,
ten more appear to take its place. But I am not worried, because I
know that this is the time of struggle, not peace. When the burden
of the battle becomes too much for me, I throw myself like
a child into the arms of the heavenly Father and trust I will not
perish.O my Jesus, how
prone I am to evil, and this forces me to be constantly vigilant.
But I do not lose heart. I trust God’s grace, which abounds in the
worst misery." (Diary 606)
"Now I know that it is not for the
graces or gifts that you love me, but because My will is dearer to
you than life. That is why I am uniting Myself with you so
intimately as with no other creature." (Diary 707)
(This is how Christ unites Himself (The Holy
Spirit/Paraclete - Advocate/Helper/Comforter) with any soul provided
we are in the state of grace - our souls are even more unique than
our bodies.)
"Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My
merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace" (Diary, 1074)
Let us keep in mind that
simply being a Catholic and going to church is not enough ... Are
you running from "The Cross" and seeking pleasures instead ...?
As Christian history has shown, anyone that tries to promote
"God's Holy Word" (and work for God) is sure to encounter opposition
from those individuals closest to them (both within the church and
outside of the church as the following gospel clearly shows).
"Do not
think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace
but the sword. For I came to set a man at
variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's enemies shall be they of his own
household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not
worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is
not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up
his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that
findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for
me, shall find it. He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that
receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me." ((Matthew 10:34-42)
"Much will
be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will
be demanded of the person entrusted with more." (Luke 12:48)
November 4, 2018 - Private Revelation -
"The Divine Mercy" (versus The Gift of The Divine Will - LP)
I
suppose that some of you are wondering why I took so long to share
this particular private revelation. Needless to say, The Divine
Will (LP) is a rather sensitive subject matter as I have
discovered. I have found that people get really offended and
defensive when I tell them that I do not support it. In addition to
needing more time for prayer and discernment, I believe the Lord
Himself wanted to make sure that I had fully processed this
mystical experience and was properly prepared to defend The
Divine Mercy. In fact, our current global situation proves to me
that now is most definitely the right time for me to share this
private revelation.
Now I will share my mystical experience with The Divine Mercy
(versus The Gift of The Divine Will - LP) .
The reason I use the word “versus” is because I have come to
understand that this mystical experience was a foreshadowing of the
intense spiritual battle we are in now - In essence “The Gift of
Free Will”(God) versus Satan’s will disguised as “The Gift of The
Divine Will” (Luisa Piccarreta). In fact, the personal trials,
I have experienced over the last several years, have given me a very
profound understanding that my (our) “Free Will” and my
(our) Human Dignity was (and still is) under attack in several
aspects of our society.However, while The Holy Spirit was
showing this to me, I would have never imagined in a million years
that our “Free Will” would be attacked on such a massive global
level shortly thereafter, simply horrifying!
In her apparition of
July 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima told Sister Lucy that “Russia will
spread its errors throughout the world raising up wars and
persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy
Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be
annihilated.”It is appearing that we are almost at the climax
of these events now.
For
those of you who are unaware, I will take this opportunity to inform
you that “The
Rite of Anointing tells
us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of death
to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the
serious nature of the illness is sufficient. When the Sacrament
of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for effect is that,
if it be God's will, the person be physically healed of illness.” (USCCB).
I believe we are all in need of this sacrament now with all of“satan’s abuse” we are being subjected to via those people that
choose to be his instruments of darkness (lies, deception, cruelty,
indifference, hatred, vengeance, pride, distortion, temptation,
thief, murderer, etc). At
the very least we should all be praying to God and asking Him to
shield us from Satan’s deception daily.
Now I
will begin my story. It was late summer and just prior to me
receiving my private revelations of Jesus Christ in Church
(September 29 and October 6, 2018). There was a certain priest that
visited me at my home. We sat in the living room and had a
conversation (a family member was working in another room). This
priest was aware of the difficult trial I was experiencing and had
visited previously to provide the sacrament of the anointing of the
sick. I was very grateful for this kindness he showed me.
As we
sat and talked about my situation, he brought up the subject of
“The Divine Will” and Luisa Piccarreta. Among other things, he
mentioned that she had written a book entitled “Book Of Heaven.”
I believe this priest was genuinely trying to provide some
comfort to me by telling me that if it is Jesus’ will to take this
cross away from me, then He will – and if He didn’t, then that was
His will as well. I agreed with him, however, I interjected by
stating that there is a responsibility on mankind to be merciful
towards each other as per “The Divine Mercy” message of Jesus
Christ to St. Faustina and the whole world (diary, “Divine Mercy In
My Soul”). The Divine Mercy message is the “heart of the gospels”
with “The Parable of the Good Samaritan” being a significant
biblical reference. I would saythat this conversation
fueled my tenacious and free spirited personality. My firm stance
on this was certainly an expression of my very healthy awareness
and appreciation of our God given gift of free will andour
true human identities as beloved royal children of God. In fact,
ever since I was a child, I knew that I belonged to God and that I
was His beloved daughter - My strong identity as a child of God was
indeed a grace given to me from the Almighty from as early as I can
remember.
On a personal note, I feel a free spirited personality is often
unappreciated in the increasingly restrictive society we are living
in, which is only getting worse by the day, as we are finding out .
Our “ free will” is one of the greatest gifts from God, however,
considering Satan is the prince of this world, our freedom (free
will) is constantly under attack and this has led to great
injustices and suffering to God’s people. This is especially true
where children and other vulnerable people are concerned, especially
in the context of “healthcare” (eg: abortion, removal of life
support, withholding and withdrawing of medical treatments,
euthanasia, forced medical intervention). The word “control”
(being controlled by others)comes to mind here and is
counter to “free will.” Satan’s words also come to mind: “I will
not serve.” Another word that comes to mind is “canceling”
(free sprits). An increasingly frightening horror movie is unfolding
right before our very eyes, yet many people are still unaware as
Satan’s deception is great, need I say more?!
Dr. John Breeding Ph.D.
wrote a book entitled, “The Wildest Colts Make The Best Horses”
- Defending the Development of Young People . He states: “Child
psychiatric diagnoses such as ADHD, other disruptive behaviour
disorders, bipolar and depression have not been scientifically
demonstrated to be legitimate medical illnesses. We consider
subsequent use of psychiatric drugs with children to be based,
therefore, not in science but in fraud.” In other words,
normal "free spirited" children (active or otherwise) are
medicated so they can be controlled. There is most often no
consideration given with regards to variation in temperament,
behaviour etc (we are all incredibly unique human beings created by
God). Just because people do not fall into what society considers
"normal" (acceptable behaviour) they are considered "abnormal" and
therefore medicated (or worse) so they can be controlled and fit into the
social norms of society. Without a doubt, the desire of one human
being to control another human being (taking away their free will)
comes from Satan!
Nowadays, Christians are also seen as "abnormal" if you look at the
persecution etc going on in several places around the world.
Christianity does not fit in well with Secularism. Therefore Christ
is gradually being removed from every facet of society. I could go
on and on about what use to be normal is now considered abnormal.
Talk about "opposite day"!The world has indeed goneBONKERS!!
Being the free spirited person that I am, I consider myself to be a
“wild colt” in a good way, in that it has fueled my
independent search for and discovery of “The Truth”, namely
Jesus Christ. In my opinion, the subject matter of Dr.
Breeding’s book applies to every human being on this planet , not
just children. Satan is always wanting to put “the wildest colts”
(those that will only bow down to The Truth, Jesus Christ) “under
“his boots”(controlling, canceling), in order to gain power over the
human race so that he can destroy it. After all why would he
bother going after complacent people (and fence sitters),
when he already has them in the palm of his hand? In
essence, satan's goal is to take away our freedom (free will) and
our very dignity and identity as male and female,
equal but different .This is detrimental to the family and
the human race as a whole. While we may not all be the “wildest
colts” we are all “unique individuals” (not robots/puppets that
need to be kept under control) and have the God given right to
live with respect, dignity, freedom, truth and justice.We
are all royal children of God and should be treated as such – from
the moment of conception to the moment of our death! Jesus Christ,
The King - Love, Mercy and Justice Himself, will not have it any other way!
Now
back to my story. I explained to the priest that I needed to be
proactive in dealing with my situation, and that I was not going to
just wait around for Jesus to provide what I needed as my belief is
and always was that, “God helps those that help themselves.”
This has been my experience for all of my life thus far. I gave him
the following example to illustrate my belief that I was an active
participant (versus being merely a puppet or robot) of my own
destiny, in which my free will plays a big part. Without even
knowing exactly what “The Divine Will (LP)” even was, I
instinctively felt it was contrary to The Divine Mercy message and
that it somehow rendered me an inactive participant (a robot) in my
relationship with God which is far from the truth, as the opposite
has always been my experience. A true loving relationship cannot be
one sided as that would not be true love – and God is Love! God
would never force us to love Him as that would not be true love and
even thinking this might be a possiblity is surely offensive to God
for what value does robotic love have? Robotic love can be likened
to "indifference."
“The
opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of
art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is
not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not
death, it’s indifference.” (Elie Wiesel)
“I
know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I
wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm,
neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.”
(Revelation 3:15-16)
I
went on to provide an example: “What if you were drowning in a lake
and someone came by and gave you a life raft so that you could be
rescued, would you accept it and save yourself? Or would you rather
wait for Jesus Himself to rescue you?” Essentially, Jesus is acting
through the person that threw you the life raft – this is a clear
example of The Divine Mercy acting through The Holy Spirit. However,
this priest was not interested in hearing this. I think it was
probably due to his frustration in not being able to comfort and
assist me.
He
then said he was going to do an anointing. He brought out a
communion pyx and informed me that it contained a lock of
hair that belonged to Luisa Piccarreta. I was a little
surprised and asked: “what should I do?” He responded by telling me
to venerate it (to kiss it, for example). So at that moment I
blindly kissed the pyx as I had no idea who Luisa Piccarreta was,
until later, after I did some research. Afterwards, and all of a
sudden, a very strange, uncomfortable, eery feeling came over me.
Strangely, I was not wearing my St.
Michael necklace nor my bracelet as both had severed just
a few days before, one after the other. However, fortunately,
the eery feeling quickly dissipated as my focus suddenly changed to
my St. Michael’s statue and inspiration to go get it as it was in
another room.
As
the priest proceeded to the foyer to leave, I started telling him
about my first private revelation of St. Michael. However, before
continuing I felt compelled to show him my statue of St. Michael
associated with this revelation. I have two statues of St.
Michael, associated with two private revelations. When the
priest set his eyes on the St. Michael statue, his face appeared to
me as though he had seen a ghost! Then he said: “when you encounter
a situation like that again (referring to my encounter with evil (my
first private revelation of St. Michael and Satan) you just say
“The Precious Blood Of Jesus Prayer”. At that time, I had
absolutely no idea what this prayer was, so I asked him to tell me.
He immediately recited the prayer and told me that he would say a
mass for me. I thanked him and then he left. I feel this prayer was a
grace coming from God (through this priest) and I have since invoked
The Precious Blood of Jesus on a regular basis. God often talks to
me through other people.
I
have come to believe that I had invoked St. Michael via my statue.
Subsequently, Jesus was invoked via the priest when he said “The
Precious Blood of Jesus Prayer” likely at the command of St. Michael
himself - To counteract the veneration of Satan via The Divine Will
(LP’s lock of hair that was in the pyx, that I had kissed
during the priest’s visit). This was my third private revelation
of St. Michael (versus Satan). The
Crucifix and The Divine Mercy Image hang on the foyer
walls. I have since made it a shrine to include Pope John Paul II’s
and St. Faustina’s images. This is something I highly recommend to
everyone, very powerful!
As a side note, I would like to mention that I had started to write
about my first two St. Michael private revelations about a year
after they happened. However, a feeling of discouragement came over
me (Satan) and I tore my notes up and threw them away, thinking why
bother, no one will believe me and they will think I am crazy. St.
Faustina experienced the same discouragement coming from Satan as he
has a hatred for those that work for God to save souls (she had
burned her diary at one point). All the while, I was certain these
private revelations came from God and St. Michael became my
comforter and carried me through a most difficult time in my life.
At the time I was venerating two statues, a medallion and read
several books about St. Michael. I was praying the St. Michael
prayer, The Rosary, The Chaplet of Divine Mercy and even asked
St. Michael, to “Come to my aid” on several occasions. I
suppose it was like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, as it is
believed that St. Michael was the angel, God the father sent to
comfort Jesus. Perhaps one day I will rewrite and share these
mystical experiences as well.
Well
as you can imagine, I started thinking about all that had just
happened and couldn’t help but to feel perplexed. So I proceeded to
research Luisa Piccarreta. I found the article about Luisa
Piccarreta published by Fr. Terrance Staples. After reading it, I
instinctively felt that his opinion was correct and that Luisa
Piccarreta (Book of Heaven DW) was not of God and that I should
avoid it.
On
November 4, 2018 I had an awful dream. I dreamt that I was in
church and a young woman was sitting to my left in my pew (my “Jesus
seat” as I call it, as that is where Jesus sat in the second
personal face to face encounter I had with him on October 6, 2018
(the first one being on September 29, 2018, St. Michael’s Feast
Day). Judging from her profile, it appeared that she could be my
Godparents’ daughter named “Luisa” but I wasn’t sure. Then,
the woman turned to her right to look at me and she looked exactly
like my Godparents’ daughter named Luisa, so I said: “Luisa?” and
she answered: “yes ” with a big smile.
Then I proceeded to give her a big hug, when all of a sudden I had a
flashback to when I kissed the communion pyx that contained a lock
of hair that belonged to Luisa Piccarreta. I knew I was in the
presence of Satan and although I could not see him, I most certainly
felt it! I knew both the priest and I had been victims of
Satan’s grand deception! Immediately I became terrified to say the
least and at once, I awoke from the nightmare! Then I quickly took
hold of my rosary and recited The Divine Mercy Chaplet. My
calm and peace was immediately restored. Thank you Jesus!
As
I reflected on this whole experience, I came to the final
conclusion, that The Divine Mercy (St. Faustina) and The Divine Will
(LP) are in opposition to each other, like Satan and St. Michael The
Archangel (Good vs Evil). I do not believe it is a coincidence
that the priest and I expressed opposing views during his visit. I
was defending “The Divine Mercy” and he was defending “The Divine
Will (LP)”. It is definitely in Satan’s character to cause
“Division” as that is his second tactic after “Deception”(Fr.
Vincent Lampert - The Devil You Don't Know by Fr. Louis Camalari).
I believe it was my Godparents ( in heaven praying for me) in
unison with The Holy Spirit and St. Michael that further enlightened
and protected me. It was at this point, that I became convinced that
“The Divine Will” (LP) was not of God and that my instincts to stay
away from this devotion were correct! In fact, there are a few
people out there that have acted vehemently in opposition to my
mission (Christ’s and St. Faustina’s mission and The Heart of the
Gospels) regarding The Divine Mercy. Rather, they appear to give
more importance to The Divine Will (LP) which is not “The Heart Of
The Gospels” in any way, shape or form, in my opinion. In fact, many
believe that The Divine Mercy is just a devotion (private
revelation) and you can just take it or leave it. An authentic
private revelation always points back to the Gospel truths and they
contain all we require to achieve holiness and salvation. As I have
discussed in my previous writings, this belief is backed up by some
of the greatest saints.
As
time goes on, I am coming to the conclusion, that I have the
Charism of Discernment. I have had several experiences with
this over the past three years and believe me it is not something to
be envied or desired. It has caused me great suffering as I see many
souls on the road to perdition (despite my efforts and the efforts
of others).
To console myself, I tell Jesus: “You are God and
despite that fact, you were often rejected, to the point of Your
death and therefore, I should expect that I will be rejected as
well. I am not God and therefore I should not feel so bad nor worry
so much that I cannot do much more with certain souls that reject
Your Word (The Divine Mercy Message - Jesus Himself is "The Divine
Mercy").
The words Jesus I trust in You (Jezu Ufam Tobie!) are very comforting
during these times. I highly encourage everyone to repeat this
simple but very powerful prayer daily!
"Mankind will not have
peace until it turns with trust to My Mercy." (Diary 300)
"I am the Way; I am Truth
and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me." (John
14:6)
EVANGELIZATION &
JUDGEMENT DAY - JESUS CHRIST, AKA "THE DIVINE MERCY"
Do we honor Jesus? Do
we trust, listen and obey Him?
"Whoever does not
honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him." (John 5:23)
Evangelilzation of our brothers and sisters regardless
of culture, language, etc is the primary mission of atrue
Christian and demonstrates that we honour "The Divine Mercy." Jesus
Christ commands us to evangelize, it is not optional folks, under
any circumstances - Jesus desires the salvation of "all souls."
Also, there must be no barriers to people wanting to enter "The
House of The Father" ... if there are, they must be removed (eg:
language). Surely one's language, culture or any other "created
thing" are not more important than putting God and His childrens'
salvation FIRST - this cost Him His Life after all and we
must never forget that fact! If these barriers are not removed and souls are lost
(even just one soul), those responsible will have to answer toJesus Christ, AKA, "The Divine Mercy" on "Judgement Day!"
"I desire that priests proclaim
this great mercy of Mine towards souls of sinners. Let the sinner
not be afraid to approach Me. The flames of mercy are burning Me -
clamoring to be spent; I want to pour them out upon these souls ...
Distrust on the part of souls is tearing at My insides. The distrust
of a chosen soul causes Me even greater pain; despite My
inexhaustible love for them they do not trust Me.
Even My death is not enough for them. Woe to
the soul that abuses these [gifts]." (Diary, 50)
"Go,
therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with
you always, until the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)
The
Two Greatest Commandments of Jesus Christ
"Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole
soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first
commandment."
"And the
second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On
these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets."
(Matthew 22:3-40)
Are You Ready For
Judgement Day?
"And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. And
all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall
separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep
from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on his left. Then shall the king say to them that shall be
on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was
hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to
drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and you covered
me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee
hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we
see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? And
the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long
as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand:
Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared
for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you gave me not
to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. I was a
stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not:
sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. Then they also shall
answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister
to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you,
as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do
it to me. And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but
the just, into life everlasting." (Mathew 25:31-46)
"Oh, how painful it is to Me, that
souls so seldom unite themselves to Me in Holy Communion. ... I love
them tenderly and sincerely, and they distrust Me. ... In order that
you may know at least some of My pain, imagine the most tender of
mothers who has great love for her children, while those children
spurn her love." (Diary, 1447)
“Be sober and watch:
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about
seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
“The
greatest among you shall be your servant. Whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted … Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. You lock the
kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves,
nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. …
Behold, your house
will be abandonned, desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again
till you say, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord’.”
(Matthew
23:11-39)
Tell sinners that no one shall
escape My Hand; if they run away from My Merciful Heart, they will
fall into My Just Hands. Tell sinners that I am always waiting for
them, that I listen intently to the beating of their heart ... when
will it beat for Me? Write, that I am speaking to them through their
remorse of conscience, through their failures and sufferings,
through thunderstorms, through the voice of the Church. And if they
bring all My graces to naught, I begin to be angry with them,
leaving them alone and giving them what they want. (Diary, 1728)
There are souls with whom I can do nothing. They
are souls that are continuously observing others, but know nothing
of what is going on within their own selves. They talk about others
continually, even during times of grand silence, which is reserved
for speaking only with Me. Poor souls, they do not hear My words;
their interior remains empty. They do not look for Me within their
own hearts, but in idle talk, where I am never to be found. They
sense their emptiness, but they do not recognize their own guilt,
while souls in whom I reign completely are a constant source of
remorse to them. Instead of correcting themselves, their hearts
swell with envy, and if they do not come to their senses, they
plunge in even deeper. A heart, which thus far is envious, now
begins to be filled with hate. And they are already at the edge of
the precipice. They are jealous of my gifts in other souls, but they
themselves are unable and unwilling to accept them.
(Diary 1717)
During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus nailed upon the cross amidst
great torments. A soft moan issued from His Heart. After some time,
He said: “I
thirst. I thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter,
to save souls.” (Diary,
1032)
“Come to Me, all
of you.” (Diary, 1485)
“The loss of
each soul plunges Me into mortal sadness.”(Diary, 1397)
"I bear a special love for Poland, and if
she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and
holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the
world for My final coming." (Diary 1732)
“And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no
more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for
the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
