Divine Will
in
Practice
A Practical and real way to consume one’s own being in the Divine Being.
As I was in my usual state, my always adorable Jesus told me: "My daughter, I want the true consummation in you - not imaginary, but true; though in a simple and feasible way. Suppose that a thought came to you, which was not for Me. You must destroy it and substitute it with the Divine. In this way you will have consumed the human thought and acquired the Divine Thought. So, if the eye wants to look at something that displeases Me or is not referred to Me, and the soul feels mortified, she has consumed the human eye, and acquired the eye of the Divine Life; and so on for the rest of your being. Oh, how I feel these new Divine Lives flowing in Me, taking part in everything I do! I love these Lives so much that I give everything for love of them. These souls are first before Me; and if I bless them, all the others are blessed through them. They are the first to be benefited and loved, and through them, others too are benefited and loved." Vol 11. May 21, 1913
Reflection:
In the above excerpt we see Jesus giving instructions to Luisa on how to form Divine Lives through the denial of her senses. He wants a total giving or her being (and ours too). Not an imaginary giving but a true one. In his instruction of the denial of her earthly thoughts and sight I am reminded of the 2 pm Hour;
"…. O Jesus, I promise You that every time a thought arises in me that is not entirely for You, and I find myself on the verge of offending You, immediately I will cry out:" Jesus and Mary, into your hands I commend my spirit."
Hours of the Passion, 2 pm.
We can expand the above prayer to suit all of our mortifications.
He wishes that we do these mortifications with all of our being, and as we respond through the denials of our senses, He in turn transforms these mortifications into Divine Lives. He loves these Divine Lives so much that feeling them flowing in him and taking part in everything He does, He gives everything for love of them. How generous is our Jesus! Also we stand first in line to receive his blessings and others are then blessed through us.
