“Dear Jesus, through these prayers and fused in your Divine Will and Divine Love, I desire to embrace everything, compensate for everyone and hold your Fiat captive upon the earth.” I’m sure many of you recite the widely known above prayer frequently. In praying it recently the last 7 words jumped out at me, “hold your Fiat captive upon the earth.” As we progress in Divine Will it is important that we do our best to do just that, hold the Fiat captive upon the earth. This nee

55. A Numb Heart
Sometimes the Lord will give me a little story to write which is aimed at a certain person He wishes to reach. This one is for you, that specific reader who struggles to really care about others or to love the Lord. You, who can read an emotional situation or a person very well and will give the response needed but with no emotion only a made up one. You may liken yourself to the tin man (or woman) in the Wizard of Oz and feel like you have no heart. You are so accustomed to

65. Fruits of Prayer in Divine Will
I attended an earlier Sunday mass than usual recently and on exiting the church was approached by a chap who said someone had reversed into my car and had then driven off. We both inspected the damage which at first glance seemed slight and didn’t bother me too much. However on closer inspection when I arrived home it seemed to be more extensive. I was annoyed, thinking I had it almost 10 years and it never had as much as a scratch. It wasn’t as if I took much care of it beca

64. Discerning Divine Will in Our Lives
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.

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

63. Understanding the Divine Version
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

62. The Jesus Puzzle
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. In writing this blog I try to imagine a scene of the universe on the box while wondering where I fit in. Perhaps I’m a corner or an edge piece and the Lord can find my place easily with little fuss, or maybe I am in the centre somewhere with many other pieces similar to me? In prayer about this jigsaw recently, it came to me that rather than imagi
