Prayers IX, Luisa Piccarreta
Consecration to Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Oh Jesus, King of kings, God of Goodness, God of Love, God of
Mercy, I
adore, I love, I thank, I glorify Your Most Holy Will emanating from Your
Omnipotence, guided by Your Wisdom, accompanied by Your Goodness and Love.
Everywhere and in every time, be it either in joy or in pain, may Your
Most
Holy Will, Your Divine Love, be the star that I gaze at, the law that governs me, the air
that I breathe, the heartbeat of my heart, the substance or, better, the Life of my life.
To such an end, I unite all my prayers and actions to Yours, all my life to Yours, as well
as to that of the Virgin Mother, of Saint Joseph and of all the Elect that have been, are
now and shall ever be, with all good, past, present and future which is real and possible
in Heaven and on earth.
I consecrate and give all myself, what I have, what I am, what pertains
to
me, what is dear to me, my life, my death, my eternity, all that You have created and will
create by Your Supreme Volition, by Your Infinite Love. And I pray You, oh Infinite
Wisdom, to inscribe me with indelible characters in Your adorable Heart as the ardent and
zealous child of Your Divine Volition, of Your pure Love. I make this donation in the
Power of the Father, in the Wisdom of the Son, in the Virtue of the Holy Spirit, in my
name, and in the name of all creatures to obtain the advent and the expansion of the
Kingdom of the Divine Will, of Your Divine Love upon the earth. For pity's sake, oh my
Lord, grant that from every lip and from every heart there may continually be raised, as
from a sacred altar, the prayer that You, Yourself, as the first, addressed to the Father,
"YOUR KINGDOM COME! YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."
AMEN.
Prayer of Consecration to the Divine Will
Oh adorable and Divine Will, behold me here before the immensity of
Your Light, that Your eternal goodness may open to me the doors and make me enter into It
to form my life all in You, Divine Will. Therefore, oh adorable Will, prostrate before
Your Light, I, the least of all creatures, put myself into the little group of the sons
and daughters of Your Supreme FIAT. Prostrate in my nothingness, I invoke Your Light and
beg that It clothe me and eclipse all that does not pertain to You, Divine Will. It will
be my Life, the center of my intelligence, the enrapturer of my heart and of my whole
being. I do not want the human will to have life in this heart any longer. I will cast it
away from me and thus form the new Eden of Peace, of happiness and of love. With It I
shall be always happy. I shall have a singular strength and a holiness that sanctifies all
things and conducts them to God.
Here prostrate, I invoke the help of the Most Holy Trinity, that They
permit me to live in the cloister of the Divine Will and thus return in me the first order
of creation, just as the creature was created.
Heavenly Mother, Sovereign and Queen of the Divine Fiat, take my hand
and introduce me into the Light of the Divine Will. You will be my guide, my most tender
Mother, and will teach me to live in and to maintain myself in the order and the bounds of
the Divine Will. Heavenly Mother, I consecrate my whole being to Your Immaculate Heart.
You will teach me the doctrine of the Divine Will and I will listen most attentively to
Your lessons. You will cover me with Your mantle so that the infernal serpent dare not
penetrate into this sacred Eden to entice me and make me fall into the maze of the human
will.
Heart of my greatest Good, Jesus, You will give me Your flames that
they may burn me, consume me, and feed me to form in me the Life of the Divine Will.
Saint Joseph, you will be my protector, the guardian of my heart, and
will keep the keys of my will in your hands. You will keep my heart jealously and shall
never give it to me again, that I may be sure of never leaving the Will of God.
My Guardian Angel, guard me; defend me; help me in everything so that
my Eden may flourish and be the instrument that draws all men into the Kingdom of the
Divine Will. Amen.
The Powerful Prayer of Jesus at His Scourging
Volume 17: July 1, 1924
"My Father, I offer You this, my Blood. Oh, let this cover all the
intelligences of creatures and render hollow all their evil thoughts; quench the fire of
their passions and make reappear holy intelligences. Let this Blood cover their eyes and
veil their sight so that the appeal of evil pleasures does not enter their eyes, and they
not be defiled with the mud of the earth. Let my Blood cover and fill their mouths and
render their lips dead to blasphemies, imprecations and all their wicked words. My Father,
let this Blood cover their hands; make it be such that so many disgraceful acts become
repulsive to man. Let this Blood circulate in our Eternal Will to cover everyone and
defend everyone. Let it be the creature's defensive armor before the rights of our
Justice."
Prayer to Disarm the Divine
Justice
Taken From The Nineteenth Hour
of
The Hours of the Passion
From 11 AM to 12 AM
Jesus is Crucified.
First Part: The Crucifixion.
My Love, Jesus, they have already stripped You of
your garments; your Most Holy Body is so lacerated that You look like a skinned lamb. I
see You all shivering, and my heart breaks with pain in seeing You dripping Blood from all
parts of your Most Holy Body! Your enemies, tired, but not filled up with tormenting You,
in stripping You, tear the crown of thorns off of your head, to your unspeakable pain, and
then again, they drive it onto You, making You feel unheard-of pains, as they add new,
more painful wounds, to the previous ones.
Ah, my Jesus, in this third crowning, You repair
for the perfidy of man, and for his obstinacy in sin!
My Jesus, if love had not wanted You to suffer
greater pains than these, You would certainly have died from the sharpness of the pain You
suffered in this third crowning with thorns. But now I see that You can no longer bear
that pain, and with your eyes covered with Blood, You gaze to see whether one, at least,
would come close to You to sustain You in so much suffering and in such great confusion.
My sweet Good, my dear Life, here You are not
alone as You were last night. There is your sorrowful Mama, who, heart pierced by intense
sorrow, suffers as many deaths, for as many pains as You suffer! There also, are loving
Magdalene and faithful John, who are mute with sorrow at the sight of your sufferings.
Tell me, my Love, who do You want to sustain You in so much pain? Oh, please, let me come
to You I, who more than anyone else, feel the need to be near You in these moments.
Dear Mama and the others give me their place - and here I am, O Jesus, I come to You. I
hug You, and I beg You to lean your head upon my shoulder, to let me feel the piercing of
your thorns, in order to repair for all the offenses that creatures commit in their
thoughts. My Love, please, hold me to Yourself; I want to kiss, one by one, the drops of
Blood which flow down your Most Holy Face, and I ask of You that each one of these drops
may be light to every mind of creature, so that no one may offend You with evil thoughts.
Meanwhile, my Jesus, You look at the Cross that
your enemies are preparing for You. You hear the blows of the hammer with which your
executioners are forming the holes into which they will drive the nails that will hold You
crucified. And your Heart beats, more and more strongly, jumping with divine inebriation,
yearning to lay Yourself upon that bed of suffering, to seal with your death the salvation
of our souls. And I hear You say: "Please, O Cross, receive Me soon into your
arms, I am impatient of waiting! Holy Cross, upon you I shall come to give completion to
all. Hurry, O Cross, fulfill the burning desire that consumes Me, to give life to souls.
Delay no more; I anxiously yearn to lay Myself upon you in order to open the Heavens to
all my children.
Oh Cross, it is true that you are my martyrdom,
but in a little while you will also be my victory and my most complete triumph; and
through you I will give abundant inheritances, victories, triumphs and crowns to my
children."
As Jesus is saying this, His enemies order Him to
lay Himself upon it; and promptly He obeys, to repair for our disobedience.
My Love, before You lay Yourself on the Cross,
allow me to hold You more tightly to my heart, and to kiss your loving and bleeding
wounds. Hear me, O Jesus, I dont want to leave You; I want to come with you to lay
myself on the Cross and remain nailed to It with You. True love cannot tolerate
separation, and You will forgive the daring of my love. Concede that I be crucified with
You. See, my tender Love, I am not the only one to ask this of You, but also your
sorrowful Mama, inseparable Magdalene, faithful John: we all say to You that it would be
more bearable to be nailed with You to Your Cross, than to see You crucified alone!
Therefore, together with You I offer myself to the Eternal Father, identified with your
Will, with your Heart, with your reparations and with all your pains.
Ah, it seems that my adorable Jesus says to me: "My
child, you have anticipated my love; this is my Will: that all those who love Me be
crucified with Me. Ah, yes, come and lay yourself on the Cross with Me; I will give you
life with my life, I will hold you as the beloved of my heart."
And now, my sweet Good, You lay Yourself on the
Cross, looking with so much love and with so much sweetness at your executioners, who
already hold nails and hammers in their hands, ready to pierce You; a sweet invitation to
hasten the crucifixion. With inhuman fury, they grab your right hand, hold the nail on
your palm, and with blows of the hammer, make it come out the opposite side of the Cross.
The pain You suffer is so great that You shiver, O my Jesus; the light of your beautiful
eyes eclipses, and your most holy Face turns pale and looks like death.
Blessed right hand of my Jesus, I kiss you, I
compassionate you, I adore you and I thank you for myself and for all. For as many blows
as you receive, so many souls do I ask You to free, in this moment, from eternal
damnation. As many drops of Blood as You shed, so many souls do I beg You to wash in this
most precious Blood of Yours. O my Jesus, for the bitter pain You suffer, I ask You to
open the Heavens to all, and to bless all creatures. May your blessing call all sinners to
conversion, and all heretics and unbelievers to the light of the Faith.
Oh Jesus, my sweet Life, your torment has only
begun - and here they are, your executioners, having finished the nailing your right hand,
with unheard-of cruelty grab your left hand, and in order to make it reach the mark of the
hole, with violence, pull it so much that the joints of your arms and shoulders are
dislocated, and by the force of the pain, your legs too, are contracted and convulsed.
Then, with untiring fury, they nail it to the Cross as they did with the right one.
Left hand of my Jesus, I kiss you, I
compassionate you, I adore you, I thank you, and, for the blows you receive and for the
bitter pains You suffer while they drive the nail through, I ask you to concede liberation
from Purgatory to the purging souls, in this moment. Yes, O Jesus, for the Blood You shed
from this hand, I beg You to extinguish the flames that burn these souls. May this Blood
be of refreshment. and a healthy bath for all, such as to purge them from any stain and
dispose them to the beatific vision. My Love and my all, for this sharp pain You suffer, I
ask You to close hell to all souls, and to hold back the lightening of divine Justice,
provoked unfortunately by our own sins! O Jesus, let divine Justice be appeased, so that
the divine chastisements may not pour down upon the Earth, and so treasures of divine
Mercy may be open for the benefit of all. My Jesus, I place the world and all generations
into your arms, and I beg You, O my sweet Love, with the voices of your own Blood, to deny
no one your forgiveness, and for the merits of your most precious Blood, to concede to all
the salvation of their souls! Do not leave anyone out, O Jesus!
My Love, Jesus, your enemies are not yet content.
With diabolical fury, they grab your most holy feet, contracted by the great pain suffered
in the tearing of your arms, and they pull them so much that your knees, your ribs and all
the bones of your chest, are dislocated. My heart cannot bear this, my dear Good; I see
your beautiful eyes eclipsed and veiled with Blood, for the intensity of the pain. Your
livid lips contort, your cheeks hollow, your teeth chatter, while your chest pounds in
rapid pulses. Ah, my Love, how willingly would I take your place to spare You so much
pain! I want to place on every part of You a relief, a kiss, a comfort, a reparation for
all.
My Jesus, they put your feet one on top of the
other, and drive through them a nail without a point. Blessed feet of my Jesus, I kiss
you, I adore you, I thank you; and for the most bitter pains you suffer, for the tearing
and for the Blood you shed, I beg you to enclose all souls in your most sacred wounds.
O Jesus, do not disdain anyone! May your nails
crucify our powers, so that they may not move away from You. May they crucify our hearts,
so that they may always be fixed in You alone; may they crucify all our feelings, so that
they may have no taste which does not come from You. Oh my crucified Jesus, I see You all
bleeding, as though swimming in a bath of Blood, which asks continuously for souls. By the
power of this Blood, I ask You, O Jesus, that not one of them may escape You ever again!
Oh Jesus, I come close to your tortured Heart; I
see that You cannot take it any more, but Love cries out more loudly: "Pains,
pains, more pains".
My Jesus, I hug You, I kiss You, I compassionate
You, I adore You and I thank You for me and for all. Jesus, I want to place my head upon
your Heart, to feel what You feel in this painful Crucifixion. Ah, I hear every blow of
the hammer echoing in It; everything is centered in It from It do your pains begin,
and in It do they end. Ah, if it were not already decreed that a lance would pierce your
Heart, the flames of your love would make their way, and would make It explode! These
flames call loving souls to find a happy residence in your Heart, and I, O Jesus, for the
sake of your most precious Blood, ask You for sanctity for these souls. Please, do not
ever allow them to go out from your Heart, and with your grace, multiply the vocations of
victim souls, who may continue your life upon Earth. You wanted to give a distinct place
in your Heart to the victim souls; let them never lose this place. Oh Jesus, may the
flames of your Heart burn me and consume me; may your Blood embellish me; may your love
keep me always crucified to It, through suffering and reparation.
O my Jesus, the executioners have now nailed your
hands and feet to the Cross, and turning It over in order to bend the nails, they force
your adorable Face to touch the ground, soaked with your own Blood; and You, with your
divine lips, kiss it. With this kiss, O my sweet Love, You intend to kiss all souls and
bind them to your love, placing a seal on their salvation. O Jesus, let me take your
place, and while your executioners pound on the nails, let these blows wound me as well,
and crucify me completely to your love.
My Jesus, as the thorns are driven more and more
into your head, I want to offer You, O my sweet Good, all my thoughts, that, like loving
kisses, may console You and soothe the bitterness of your thorns.
O Jesus, I see that your enemies are not yet
filled up with insulting You and deriding You, and I want to comfort your divine gazes
with my gazes of love.
Your tongue is almost attached to your palate
because of the bitterness of the bile and your ardent thirst. In order to quench your
thirst, O my Jesus, You would want all the hearts of creatures overflowing with love, but
not having them, You burn more and more for them. My sweet Love, I intend to send You
rivers of love, to soothe in some way the bitterness of the bile and your burning thirst.
O Jesus, I see that at every movement You make, your wounds rip open more and more and the
pain becomes more intense and sharp. My dear Good, to relieve and soothe this pain, I
offer You the holy works of the creatures. O Jesus, how much You suffer in your most holy
feet! It seems that each movement of your most sacred Body pounds in them, and nobody is
near You to sustain You, and somehow soothe the bitterness of your sufferings! My most
sweet Life, I would want to reunite the steps of creatures of all generations, past,
present and future, and direct them all to You, to come to console You in your hard pains.
O my Jesus, alas, how tortured is your poor
Heart! How to comfort so much pain? I will diffuse myself in You, O will place my heart in
Yours, my ardent desires in Yours, so that any evil desire may be destroyed. I will
diffuse my love in Yours, so that, by means of your fire, the hearts of all creatures may
be burned up, and the profaned loves destroyed. Your most sacred Heart will be comforted,
and from now on, I promise You, O Jesus, always to remain nailed to this most loving
Heart, with the nails of your desires, of your love and of your Will.
O my Jesus Crucified, You; crucified, I in
you. Do not allow me, even slightly, to unnail myself from You, but let me always be
crucified to You, to be able to love You and repair You for all, and to relieve the pain
which other creatures give You with their sins.
Second Part: Jesus Crucified. With Him we disarm
Divine Justice.
My good Jesus, I see that your enemies lift the
heavy wood of the Cross and let It drop into the hole they had prepared; and You, my sweet
love, remain suspended between Heaven and earth. In this solemn moment, You turn to the
Father, and with weak and feeble voice, You say to Him: "Holy Father, here I am,
loaded down with all the sins of the world. There is not one sin which does pour upon Me;
therefore, do no longer unload the scourges of your divine Justice upon man, but upon Me,
your Son. O Father, allow Me to bind all souls to this Cross, and to plead forgiveness for
them with the voices of my Blood and of my wounds. O Father, do You not see how I have
been reduced? By this Cross, by virtue of these pains, concede true conversion, peace,
forgiveness and sanctity to all. Arrest your fury against poor humanity, against my
children. They are blind, and know not what they are doing. Look well at Me, how I have
reduced Myself because of them; if you are not moved to compassion for them, may You at
least be softened by this Face of mine, dirtied with spit, covered with Blood, bruised and
swollen by the so many slaps and blows received. Have pity, my Father! I was the most
beautiful of all, and now I am all disfigured, to the point that I no longer recognize
Myself. I have become the abject of all; and so, at any cost, I want to save the poor
creature!"
My Jesus, how is it possible that You love us so
much? Your love crushes my poor heart. Oh, I would to go into the midst of all creatures
to show this Face of Yours, so disfigured because of them, to move them to compassion for
their own souls and for your Love; and with the light that your Face emanates, and with
the enrapturing power of your love, make them understand Who You are, and who they are,
who dare to offend You, so that they may prostrate themselves before You, to adore You and
glorify You.
My Jesus, adorable Crucified, the creature
continues to provoke Divine Justice, and with her tongue, she makes resound the echo of
horrible blasphemies, voices of curses and maledictions, and evil discourses. Ah, all
these voices deafen the earth, and penetrating even into the Heavens, while deafening the
divine hearing, they curse and ask for revenge and justice against her! Oh, how Divine
Justice feels pressed to unleash Its scourges! Oh, how the many horrid blasphemies ignite
Its fury against the creature! But You, O my Jesus, loving us with highest love, face
these deadly voices with your omnipotent and creative voice, and shout for mercy, graces
and love for the creature. In order to appease the indignation of the Father, all love,
You say to Him: "My Father, look at Me once again, do not listen to voices of the
creatures, but to Mine; I am the One Who satisfies for all. Therefore I beg You to look at
the creature, and to look at her in Me; if You look at her outside of Me, what will happen
to her? She is weak, ignorant, capable only of doing evil, and full of miseries. Have pity
pity on the poor creature. I respond for her with my tongue embittered by bile,
parched by thirst, dried and burned by love."
My embittered Jesus, my voice in Yours wants to
face all these offenses, all the blasphemies, in order to change all human voices into
voices of blessings and praises.
My Crucified Jesus, to so much love and pain of
yours, the creature does not yet surrender; on the contrary, she despises You and adds
sins to sins, committing enormous sacrileges, murders, suicides, duels, frauds, deceits,
cruelties and betrayals. Ah, all these evil works weigh on the arms of your celestial
Father; so much so, that unable to sustain their weight, He is about to lower them and
pour fury and destruction upon the earth. And You, O my Jesus, to snatch the creature from
the divine fury, fearing to see her destroyed - You stretch your arms to the Father, You
disarm Him, and prevent Divine Justice from taking Its course. And to move Him to
compassion for miserable Humanity and to soften Him, You say to Him with the most charming
voice: "My Father, look at these hands, ripped open, and the nails that pierce
them, that nail them together with all these evil works. Ah, in these hands I feel all the
spasms that these evil works give to Me. Are You not content, O my Father, with my
sufferings? Am I perhaps not capable of satisfying You? Yes, my dislocated arms will
always be chains to hold the poor creatures tightly, so that they may not escape from Me,
except for those who would want to struggle free by live force. These arms of mine will be
loving chains that will bind You, my Father, to prevent You from destroying the poor
creature. Even more, I will draw You closer and closer to her, that You may pour your
graces and mercy upon her!"
My Jesus, your love is a sweet enchantment for
me, and pushes me to do what You do. Together with You, at the cost of any pain, I want to
prevent divine Justice from taking Its course against poor Humanity. With the Blood that
pours out of your hands, I want to extinguish the fire of sin that ignites It and calm Its
fury. Allow me to place in your arms, the sufferings and the torments of all men, and the
many hearts, grieving and oppressed. Allow me to go among all creatures and press them all
into your arms, so that all of them may return to your Heart. By the power of your
creative hands, allow me to stop the current of so many evil works, and to hold everyone
back from doing evil.
My adorable crucified Jesus, the creature is not
yet satisfied in offending You. She wants to drink, to the bottom, all the filth of sin,
and she runs almost wildly along the path of evil. She falls from sin to sin, disobeys all
your Laws, and denying You, rebels against You - almost out of spite, she wants to go to
hell. Oh, how indignant becomes the Supreme Majesty! And You, O my Jesus, triumphant over
all, even over the obstinacy of creatures, in order to appease the Divine Father, You show
Him all your Most Holy Humanity, lacerated, dislocated, tortured in a horrible way. You
show your Most Holy Feet, pierced, twisted by the atrocity of the spasms, and I hear your
voice, more moving than ever, as though in act of breathing its last, wanting to win over
the creature by force of love and suffering, and to triumph over the Paternal Heart: "My
Father, look at Me, from head to foot; there is not one part of Me which is left whole, I
do not know where else to let them open more wounds and to procure more sufferings. If You
do not appease Yourself at this sight of love and suffering, who will ever be able to
appease You? O creatures, if you do not surrender to so much Love, what hope remains for
you to convert? These wounds and Blood of Mine will be voices that constantly call from
Heaven to earth, graces of repentance, forgiveness and compassion for you!"
My Jesus, Crucified lover, I see that You can
take no more. The terrible tension that You suffer on the Cross, the continual creaking of
your bones that dislocate more and more at every tiny movement, your flesh that rips open
more and more, the burning thirst that consumes You, the interior pains that suffocate You
with bitterness, pain and love - and, with so many martyrdoms, the human ingratitude that
insults You and penetrates, like an impetuous wave, into your pierced Heart, oppress You
so much that your Most Holy Humanity, unable to bear the weight of so many martyrdoms, is
about to end, and in a delirium of love and suffering, cries out for help and pity!
Crucified Jesus, is it possible that You, Who rule everything and give life to all, ask
for help? Ah, how I wish to penetrate into each drop of your most precious Blood, and to
pour out my own in order to soothe every wound, to lessen and render less painful the
pricks of each thorn; and to pour it into every interior pain of your Heart to relieve the
intensity of your bitterness. I wish I could give You life for life. If it were possible,
I would want to unnail You from the Cross and put myself in your place; but I see that I
am nothing and can do nothing - I am too insignificant. Therefore, give me Yourself; I
will take life in You, and in You, I will give You Yourself. In this way You will satisfy
my yearning. Tortured Jesus, I see that your Most Holy Humanity is ending, not for your
sake, but to fulfill our Redemption in everything. You need divine aid, and so You throw
Yourself into the Paternal arms and ask for help and assistance. Oh, how moved is the
Divine Father in looking at the horrible torture of your Most Holy Humanity, the terrible
crafting that sin has made upon your Most Holy Members! And to satisfy your yearnings of
love, He holds You to His paternal Heart, and gives You the necessary help to accomplish
our Redemption; and as He holds You tightly, You feel again in your Heart, more intensely,
the blow of the nails, the lashes of the scourging, the tearing of the wounds, the
pricking of the thorns. Oh, how struck remains the Father! How indignant He becomes in
seeing that all these pains are given to You, up to your innermost Heart, even by souls
consecrated to You! In His sorrow, He says to You: "Is it possible, my Son, that
not even the part chosen by You is wholly with You? On the contrary, it seems that these
souls ask for refuge and a hiding place in your Heart in order to embitter You and give
You a more painful death. And even more, all these sufferings they give to You, are hidden
and covered by hypocrisy. Ah, Son, I can no longer contain my indignation at the
ingratitude of these souls, who grieve Me more than all other creatures together!"
But You, O my Jesus, triumphant over all, defend
even these souls, and with the immense love of your Heart, form a shield against the waves
of bitterness and piercing that these souls send to You. And to appease the Father, You
say to Him: "My Father, look at this Heart of mine. May all these pains satisfy You;
and the more bitter they are, the more powerful may they be over your Heart of Father, to
plead for them graces, light and forgiveness. My Father, do not reject them; they will be
my defenders that will continue my life upon earth."
My Life, Crucified Jesus, I see You still
agonizing on the Cross, because your love is not yet satisfied not enough to give
completion to all. I too, yes, agonize together with You. And all of you, Angels and
Saints come to Mount Calvary, to admire the excesses, and the follies of the love
of a God! Let us kiss His bleeding wounds; let us adore them. Let us sustain those
lacerated limbs; let us thank Jesus for the accomplished Redemption. Let us turn our gaze
to the pierced Mother, who feels pains and deaths in Her Immaculate Heart, for as many
pains as She sees in Her God Son. Her own clothes are soaked with His Blood; Mount Calvary
is all covered with It. Together, let us take this Blood, let us ask the sorrowful Mother
to unite Herself to us; let us divide ourselves throughout the whole world, and bring help
to all. Let us help those who are in danger, that they may not perish; those who have
fallen, that they may stand up again; those who are about to fall, that they may not fall.
Let us give this Blood to the many poor blind ones, that the light of truth may shine in
them. In a special way, let us go into the midst of the poor soldiers, to be their
vigilant sentries, and if they are about to be struck by the lead of the enemy, let us
receive them into our arms, to comfort them. And if they are abandoned by all, if they are
desperate in their sad destiny, let us give them this Blood that they may be resigned, and
the atrocity of the pain lessened. And if we see that there are souls who are about to
fall into hell, let us give them this divine Blood, which contains the price of Redemption
- let us snatch them from Satan! And while I hold Jesus tightly to my heart in order to
defend Him and shelter Him from everything, I will draw all to this Heart, so that all may
obtain effective grace of conversion, strength and salvation.
Meanwhile, O Jesus, I see that your Blood flows
in torrents from your hands and from your feet. The Angels, weeping, surrounding You as a
crown, admire the portents of your immense love. I see your sweet Mama, pierced by the
pain, at the foot of the Cross; your dear Magdalene, beloved John all taken by
ecstasy of astonishment, love and pain! O Jesus, I unite myself to You and I cling to your
Cross; I take all the drops of your Blood and I pour them into my heart.
When I see your Justice provoked against sinners,
I will show You this Blood in order to appease You. When I want the conversion of souls
obstinate in sin, I will show You this Blood, and by virtue of It You will not reject my
prayer, because I hold its pledge in my hands. And now, my Crucified Good, in the name of
all generations, past, present and future, together with your Mama and with all the
Angels, I prostrate myself before You and say: "We adore You, O Christ, and we
praise You, because by your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world."

Offering of the Human Will to the Celestial Queen
Sweetest Mother, here I am prostrate before Your throne. I am Your little child who
wants to give you all my filial love; and, as Your child, I want to interlace all the
little flowers, the exclamations, my promises that I have made so many times in this month
of graces of no longer doing my will; and forming a crown, I want to put it in Your lap as
proof of love and thanksgiving to my Mother.
But that is not enough; I want You to take it in Your hands as a sign that You accept
my gift; and at the touch of Your maternal fingers convert it for me into so many suns, at
least for as many times as I have sought to do the Divine Will in my little acts.
Ah, yes, Queen Mother, Your child wants to give You the homages of light and of most
refulgent suns. I know that You have so many of these suns, but they are not the suns of
Your child. Indeed, I want to give You mine in order to tell You that I love You and to
engage You to love me. Holy Mother, You smile at me and in all goodness You accept my
gift; and I thank You heartily. But I want to say so many things to You; I want to enclose
my pains, my fears, my weaknesses and all my being in Your maternal Heart as in a place of
refuge for me. I want to consecrate my will to You. Ah, O my Mother, accept it; make it a
triumph of grace and a field where the Divine Will may extend Its Kingdom! Thus my will
consecrated to You will make us inseparable and will keep us in continual rapport. The
doors of Heaven will not be closed to me because, having consecrated my will to You, You
will give me Yours in exchange. So, O my Mother, come to be with Your child on earth; and
the child will go to live with its Mother in Heaven. Oh, how happy I will be!
Listen, dearest Mother, to make the consecration of my will to You more solemn, I call
the Most Holy Trinity, all the angels, all the saints; and, before all, I profess and I
swear of making a solemn consecration of my will to my Heavenly Mother.
And now, Sovereign Queen, in conclusion I ask You for Your holy blessing for me and for
everyone. May Your blessing be the celestial dew which descends upon sinners and converts
them, covers the afflicted and consoles them, descends upon the entire world and
transforms it into good, descends over the purging souls and smothers the fire which burns
them. May Your blessing be the pledge of salvation for all souls. Amen.
Offering of ones own life to the
Will of God
at the moment of death
My sweet Jesus, I want to die in your Will: I unite my agony to
Yours, and may your agony be my strength, my defense, my light and the sweet smile of your
forgiveness.
I place my last breath in your last breath, which You gave for me on
the Cross, so that I may present myself before You with the merits of your own death. And
since You died for all, I too, dying in your Will, will be able to die for all, and renew
the effects of your own death, especially for those who expire with me - yes, I want to
bring with me the court of souls.
Please, O my Jesus, open the Heavens for me, and come toward me to
receive me with the same love with which your Father received You, when You breathed your
last on the Cross; then, bring me with You into Heaven, holding me tightly in your arms;
and I will kiss You and kiss You over and over again, and delight eternally in You.
My Mama, Angels and Saints, come to my assistance, as you were present
at the death of Jesus: help me, defend me, and bring me to Heaven. Amen.
Prayer for the Beatification of Luisa Piccarreta
O Most Holy Trinity,
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us that, as we pray we
should ask that our Father's name be always glorified, that His Will be done on earth and
that His Kingdom should come to reign among us. In our great desire to make known this
Kingdom of love, justice and peace we humbly ask that you glorify your Servant Luisa, the
Little Daughter of the Divine Will who, with her constant prayer and suffering, deeply
yearned for the salvation of souls and the coming of God's Kingdom in the world.
Following her example we pray to you, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, to help us joyously embrace the crosses of this world so that we may also
glorify your Name and enter into the Kingdom of the your Will. Amen
