A little about Saint Annibale Di Francia and Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta: Saint Annibale was Luisa's Extraordinary Confessor for about 11 years. He examined the first nineteen volumes of Luisa (the 1st through the 19th) that had the imprimatur and the nihil obstat placed on those volumes by Msgr. Giuseppe Leo, and also was censor of all the writings by the Archbishop of Luisa's archdiocese. He also published the Hours of the Passion placing the Imprimatur and nihil obstat four times (1915, 1916, 1917, 1921), and also began the publication of The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will, editing the Preface and the entire content of the book. But due to his death in 1927, he did not finished this job. The publications were then taken up by Don Benedetto Calvi, who was one of Luisa's Confessors. These are just a few of the comments regarding Luisa and The Book of Heaven that he wrote in his letters: "Our Saint (Luisa) was convinced that they are writings which now need to be known to the world. I believe they will bring about great benefits. Even though this science of the Divine Will is so sublime, besides being written by the hand of heaven, it is presented very clearly and simply. But in my opinion, no human ingenuity would have been able to form it." (Letter of June 20, 1924) A few months before Saint Annibale's death, he wrote to Luisa saying, "You know that at this point I do not occupy myself with almost anything regarding my institutes (the Rogationist Fathers), since I am completely dedicated to the great work of the Divine Will. I speak of it with spiritual persons I raise the subject when I deem it best to do so. I promote it as much as possible, also within my institutes." On May 16 2004 Pope John Paul II proclaimed Fr. Hannibal a Saint. More can be found in the book, "St Hannibal (Annibale) and Luisa Piccarreta in the Divine Will", written by Fr. Riccardo Pignatelli, Fr. John Bruno and Mr. Hugh Owens. There is so much more to say about these beautiful teachings given to us by Our Lord, but if it is the desire of your heart and is God's Will, you can find much on these writings in books and on the internet. In the Heart of Jesus and Mary Lynne
I'm sorry Lynne but this above writing of Lusia, is one of her many writings, that I find blasphemous. Let us look at the alleged words of Jesus, just in this one paragraph below. Luisa: Now, while I was pouring out my pain with Jesus, He made Himself seen in my interior. The Sacramental veils formed like a mirror in which Jesus was... alive and real. And my sweet Jesus told me: "My daughter, this mirror is the accident of bread, which keeps Me imprisoned within them. I form my Life in the Host, but It does not give Me anything - not one affection, not a heartbeat, not the tiniest ‘I love you.’ It is as if dead for Me. I remain alone, without the shadow of anything in return. Therefore my Love is almost impatient to get out, to break this glass, descending into hearts, in order to find in them that return which the Host doesn’t know how to give Me, nor can it do so. Firstly the Host is Jesus and where Jesus is, so is the Father and the Holy Spirit. God is always Complete! This is a mystery of the Blessed Trinity! God the Blessed Trinity is a unity of Love! God’s life in the Host, as well as His Life in Heaven and His life in the Flesh for 33 years is always complete, always whole and requires no addition! It is His infinite Love for men that He came in the flesh and that He comes at the Consecration. Jesus would never say......... 'I form my Life in the Host, but It does not give Me anything'..........'It is as if dead for Me'........'the Host doesn’t know how to give Me, nor can it do so.,' This writing of Lusia has Jesus blaspheming against His Father, the Holy Spirit and Himself! Our Lady tells us to Love God, in the Blessed Eucharist. We know that at every Tabernacle throughout the world the angels of heaven gather around to Adore our Lord continuously. After we recieve, the bread of heaven, all of heaven's citizens gather around us too! "Oh Sacrament Most Holy, Oh Sacrament Divine, All Praise and All Thanksgiving be every moment Thine!" Thank you for praying for me, I will pray for you too. God Bless
Jesus would never say......... 'I form my Life in the Host, but It does not give Me anything'..........'It is as if dead for Me'........'the Host doesn’t know how to give Me, nor can it do so.,' This writing of Lusia has Jesus blaspheming against His Father, the Holy Spirit and Himself! ======================================================= Of course He would because it's the truth. And because it is fact it follows then how particular individuals already living this profound Truth, at least in part, in their lives while still on earth, some of whom now proclaimed saints, were called "living hosts"....such as St. Faustina or Dina Belanger or St. Therese and others. That involves the very same reality but with the more delightful "material" involved containing the human free will which chooses to love, reciprocally (willingly choosing to be a loving "host" in which Jesus may take delight). These concepts have remained in the Mind of the Father and the materialization of that Mind and perfect fulfillment of it through the Holy Spirit is Jesus. This concept of living hosts has never changed from the beginning and will fully take place in the era of the Divine Will to come....bringing into being the Will on earth as it is in heaven. It's just that such a time's true realization is beyond normal defective thinking of the present world and so it seems to be too foreign from what is known now. Just because one cannot grasp or accept such a concept does not mean it's anything like blasphemy....but rather it's what has remained in the Mind of God from the beginning and continues since the fall. And since the Trinity exists with each Person they are all in agreement to this fact of having had to use a soulless material or a material without a free will in any kind of opposition in order to remain with us. That is an act of Love but without any reciprocal, immediate response of love for Love until the time when He remains in us and we in Him. Expressed so beautifully here : And why do I live in the Host in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity? Because there is not a will which is opposed to Mine. If I found in the Host a Will opposed to Mine, I would form neither a real nor a perennial Life in it. This is also the reason for which the Sacramental accidents are consumed when creatures receive Me: I do not find a human will united with Mine, disposed to give itself in order to acquire my Will; rather, I find a will which wants to act, and do it by itself. So I make my little visit, and I leave. On the other hand, for one who lives in my Will, my Volition and hers are one. And if I do this in the Host, how much more can I do it in her; more so, since I find a heartbeat, an affection, my reward and interest - all that I do not find in the Host. My real Life is necessary to the soul who lives in my Will; otherwise how could she live in my Volition?
Lusia's words from the post above..... And why do I live in the Host in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity? Because there is not a will which is opposed to Mine. If I found in the Host a Will opposed to Mine, I would form neither a real nor a perennial Life in it. This is also the reason for which the Sacramental accidents are consumed when creatures receive Me: I do not find a human will united with Mine, disposed to give itself in order to acquire my Will; rather, I find a will which wants to act, and do it by itself. So I make my little visit, and I leave. On the other hand, for one who lives in my Will, my Volition and hers are one. And if I do this in the Host, how much more can I do it in her; more so, since I find a heartbeat, an affection, my reward and interest - all that I do not find in the Host. My real Life is necessary to the soul who lives in my Will; otherwise how could she live in my Volition? Earthtoangels, in this above statement, Why do you think Lusia has Jesus saying that he lives in the Host as if it were just a place of residence, like house or a tent, rather than saying what He said to the apostles, at the institution of the Blessed Eucharist....... 'this is My Body, this is My Blood? And what is the purpose of Lusia's Jesus saying.... If I found in the Host a Will opposed to Mine, I would form neither a real nor a perennial Life in it. This is also the reason for which the Sacramental accidents are consumed when creatures receive Me: I do not find a human will united with Mine, disposed to give itself in order to acquire my Will; rather, I find a will which wants to act, and do it by itself. So I make my little visit, and I leave. So if Jesus found a human will disposed to give itself to His will, does that mean He would not just make His little visit and leave!? but would remain in that person and therefore Holy Communion would only be required once? We are told by Holy Catholic saints and mystics that Our Lady devoutly recieved Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist daily from the hands of St John, after Our Lord ascended into Heaven. Why would Our Lady daily recieve God in the Blessed sacrament when we have Jesus telling as through Lusia, that Sacramental accidents are consumed because He does not find a human will united with His?

Why would Our Lady daily recieve God in the Blessed sacrament when we have Jesus telling as through Lusia, that Sacramental accidents are consumed because He does not find a human will united with His? ============================================================ Well, it is described for the time of Living in the Divine Will that persons, such Living Hosts, would go from one reception of Jesus in the Eucharist to the next in the reciprocal living (since He will not be living in His body on earth during that period)....whether that means daily or just that time where any remaining self will at times would necessitate another reception of Christ under the appearance of the bread I don't know. That is why it is also described to be a Eucharistic Age. Our Lady lived as an example to those who still remained in the defective humanity since the fall. After all she was given her new role from the cross to be our Mother. She also had fulfilled the Law when she in reality lived completely in the Divine Will with no need for the law since she was the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. They would not understand as yet what was to be fulfilled in future time and would only learn later through the instruction and then writings of that instruction, for the time it was designated, to Luisa. To everything there is a season. I believe that this is a foreshadowing of the time when "all will be one" again.....living "I in them and they in Me" totally.....only in Eternal Life. Until then the Eucharistic Age will be the one where the union via the finite accidentals as the material means so to speak will come to its fullest meaning. And that will be when heaven touches earth...but then, there will be yet that future after earth itself comes to an end.
Yes, that is what I thought. And that is the case so often. But since you had asked the questions I tried to reply....not up to me to do the work of the Holy Spirit....and that "connection" is what is needed of course which happens with any real desire. He won't hand you harmful things if you are truly searching for the Truth....and of course He would always respect your own free will...as should we all! Continue looking though....it's a very fascinating road into the infinite
Years ago when my children were small, I used to take my childrens friends to Mass with us if they were staying over the weekend and I was amazed at how many of these children loved the Mass, were devout, listened to the priest even though many of them had not been to a Mass nor raised with God in their lives. An older friend said that their is a saint [I don't know who] that said........ all children are born Catholic! But many are turned away from this innate Love of truth by either their parents beliefs or because the have no one to nourish the truth. I Love my Catholic faith, for so many reasons! and one of those reasons is that it makes sense! I don't have to do mental gymnastics nor engage in in any kind of mind contortions! St Mother Theresa said......'God makes things very simple! He makes Himself Bread of life! He says if you give a glass of water in my name you have given it to me' And Jesus says......In Matthew 18:3 2Jesus called a little child to stand among them.3“Truly I tell you, He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
