This writing is not an exhaustive list in discernment and I frequently find the Lord will expand on a topic I have previously written about. Before discovering Divine Will, I was very involved in the charismatic renewal movement and the Lord blessed me with some of the charisms of the Holy Spirit.  However, I could never claim any of these as my own because I never knew when or where the Lord would decide to use me to help others. I often thought I was like a handyman with a

This entry took a few weeks of prayer and study because I have to admit I found praying the Divine Version of our lives a little difficult to get my head around and then to try to explain what it is and how to pray, so here goes… George, a friend of mine who lived a few hours’ drive away died recently. I knew it was on the cards for him with the type of cancer he had but still a shock when it happened. In a split second he went from being a person to being just a memory. I ha

I often think of my role in Divine Will as being like a little piece of a huge jigsaw puzzle being put together by God the Father.

The gospel reading of where Jesus cursed the fig tree came to mind, Mk 11:12-25 . I prayed quietly. Short and direct. In the name of Jesus I took a

He said to me: "My daughter, each time I speak to you, I intend to open a little fountain in your heart, because all of my words are founts which lead and spout toward Eternal Life. But so that these founts may form in your heart, you must also put something of your own - that is, you must chew them thoroughly to be able to swallow them into your heart and open the fount. By thinking about them, over and over again, you form the mastication. Vol 13. October 13, 1921   It has

I awoke one night recently with a person who had annoyed me the previous day on my mind. In trying to deal with the annoyance I started to pray for them. Then I sensed the Lord ask would I have prayed for them if they hadn’t annoyed me? Probably not! Would they still need my prayer? Yes. Then He invited me to pray for them but without putting my annoyance into the mix. I had been praying that He would fix the annoyance so I would have peace and be able to get on with life. I
