“Little daughter of the Divine Will”
Luisa PiccarretaBorn in Corato, Italy, on April 23,1865.
At the age of 9, Luisa received her first Communion and Confirmation. She began to hear Jesus’ voice in her interior.
At the age of 13, she had her first vision of Jesus crowned with thorns and carrying the Cross. Jesus looked up at her and implored, “Soul, help Me!”
At the age of 16, she accepted the state of victimhood, suffering and reparation for all humankind, a state that lasted 64 years.
At the age of 23, she experienced the Mystical Marriage with Jesus (on earth)
At the age of 24, she experienced the Mystical Marriage with Jesus (in heaven). Jesus took possession of her heart and started dwelling within her.
The next day, she experienced the Spiritual Marriage of the Cross where she received the invisible stigmata (visible on some occasions).
At the age of 34, her Confessor, Don Gennaro di Gennaro, ordered Luisa to write everything that occurred between Jesus and her. Luisa wrote 36 volumes of the “Book of Heaven”.
At the age of 35, she had her fourth Mystical Marriage. This time Luisa took possession of the Heart of Jesus and fully received the Gift of the Divine Will.
Abril 23, 1865 - Marzo 4, 1947
Extraordinary EventsFor 64 years, a Catholic priest had to visit Luisa daily to bring her back to life as she would fall into a state of petrification overnight. Her lifeless body could not be moved as she turned into a “huge block of stone.” Once the priest imparted his blessing, Luisa would come back to life. Otherwise, she would remain petrified until the priest came to bless her.
From the time she was 13, Luisa survived only on the Holy Eucharist. If she ate something, it would come out intact.
At her death, Luisa’s body did not show any signs of Rigor Mortis or “stiffness”.
Luisa’s Legacy36 volumes of her diary entitled “Book of Heaven” written between 1899 and 1938. Her diary contains more than 2,500 lessons from Jesús regarding His Most Holy Will.
The book, “The Hours of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ”, dictated by Our Lord about his inner sufferings and reparations during the last 24 hours of His life.
The book, “The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will”, dictated by Our Blessed Lady.
The book, “The Rounds of the Soul in the Divine Will”
Christmas Novena, Prayers, Letters.
Luisa’s confessor for 17 years and censor of her writings.
Published “Hours of the Passion” and “Virgin Mary”.
Prior to his death in 1927, St. Hannibal provides his Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from Arch. Joseph Leo for the first 19 Volumes of the “Book of Heaven”.
In 1936, the Vatican collects all of Luisa’s writings and locks them in the Vatican’s Library of Forbidden Books.

Cause of Beatification of LuisaOn November 20, 1994, Archbishop Carmelo Cassati opened the cause for beatification and the writings were made available informally.
On December 18, 1997, Rev. Cosimo Reho, professor of Theology, concurred with Rev. Antonio Resta’s opinion, and approved the writings of Luisa.
On October 29, 2005, Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri concluded the cause and submitted for final approval to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
Church official documents of Luisa are currently being written.

What is the Divine Will?In the beginning, God created Adam to His image and likeness, and Adam possessed the same will as God, the Divine Will.
With original sin, Adam lost his connection to the Divine Will and started acting out of his own will.
After 2,000 years of daily recitation of Our Lord’s Prayer, God grants us the Gift of Living in the Divine Will in response to “thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.”
What is the Divine Will?After Adam, only Our Blessed Mother and Jesus possessed and lived in the Divine Will.
Luisa, conceived with original sin, is chosen by God as the first creature to receive the Gift of Living in the Divine Will. Once the Gift is given to one, it is available to all who wish to receive it.
Jesus calls this new era, the Kingdom of the Divine Will on Earth, the FIAT of Sanctification, the FIAT of the Holy Spirit which is the FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA, SICUT IN CAELO ET IN TERRA.
God brings forth the knowledge of His Divine Will thru the writings of Luisa (really they are Jesus’ own writings). Luisa’s writings provide the knowledge necessary to acquire the Gift and live in the Divine Will on earth.
So, how does one receive this Gift?
How does one receive the Gift?To receive this Gift, you must:
1. Learn all about “the Gift” thru Luisa’s writings. The knowledge is the foundation of the Gift.
2. Desire it with all your heart, mind and soul; and continuously call for it. Ask for the Gift “on loan” to pray and perform all of your actions with it.
3. Prepare yourself to receive the gift. Live in grace, practice the sacraments, live the “Hours of the Passion”.
4. Die to “Yourself ” (to your own human will) to live in the Divine Will (Jesus in you).
5. Desire admits, Knowledge advances, Virtue anchors, Life actualizes it.
Most Effective Means to Acquire the GiftThe “Hours of the Passion” is the most effective means to fuse with Jesus and receive the graces for the Gift.
The “Virgin Mary” provides the lessons from Our Lady to prepare us to receive the Gift.
The “Divine Will Prayer Book” teaches you to pray in an “eternal” way and in the Divine Will.
The “Book of Heaven” provides the knowledge to acquire the Gift of Living in the Divine Will.
