"The first thing I want you to mortify is your will. That ‘self’ must be destroyed in you; I want you to keep it sacrificed as victim before Me, so that your will and Mine may become one. Aren’t you happy?" ‘Yes, Lord, but give me the grace, for I see that by myself I can do nothing.’ And He continued: "Yes, I Myself will contradict you in everything, and occasionally by means of creatures." Vol 1. I came across the above excerpt from Vol 1 recently and realised that even tho

“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 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
