PATERNAL APPEAL OF THE DIVINE KING
PROCLAIMING THE KINGDOM OF HIS WILL
"My dear and beloved children, (*)
I come in your midst with My Heart drowned in My flames of Love. I come as Father in the midst of His children whom I love so much; and so much is My Love that I come to remain with you to live together and to live with one only will, with one only love… I come with the cortege of My pains, of My blood, of My works and of My very death.
Look at Me; each drop of My blood, every pain, all My works, My steps compete with one another because they want to give you My Divine Will. Even My death wants to give you the rebirth of My Life in My Will. In My humanity, I prepare everything; and I impetrated graces, helps, lights and strength for you to receive a gift so great. On My part I have done everything; now I await your part. Who, ungrateful, would not receive Me and the Gift that I bring him?
Know that My Love is so much that I will set aside your past life, your very sins, all your evils, and I will bury them in the sea of My Love so that they be all burned up, and we will begin a new life together, all of My Will. Who will have the heart to refuse Me and send Me away without accepting My visit, full of Paternal Love? But if you will accept Me, I will remain with you as Father in the midst of My children. We must then be in greatest accord and live with one, single will. Oh, how much I long for it; how much I moan and go into delirium and go so far as to cry because I want My dear children to be together with Me and live with My same Will.
It has been almost six thousand years of long sighs and bitter tears of My holy Humanity so that I might reclaim and call My children around Me to make them holy and happy… I go so far as to call them crying. I wonder if they will be moved to compassion by My tears and My Love, which goes so far even to suffocate Me and to agonize Me. And among sobs and pangs of love I go about repeating: My children, My children, where are you? Why do you not come to your Father? Why do you go far from Me, wanderers, poor and full of all miseries? Your evils are wounds to My Hear. I am tired of waiting for you and, since you do not come, no longer being able to contain the Love that burns Me, I come to search for you and I bring you the great Gift of My Will… Oh, I beg you, I supplicate you, be moved to compassion by My tears, by My ardent sighs!
And I come not only as Father, but I come as Teacher in the midst of His disciples... But I want to be listened to; I will teach you surprising things, lessons of Heaven which Will bring you Light that never goes out, Love that always burns... My lessons will give you divine strength, intrepid courage, sanctity that always grows; they will show you the way at every step; they will be your guides to the Celestial Fatherland.
I come as King in the midst of the people, but not to demand taxes and tribute, no, no. I come because I want your will, your miseries, your weaknesses – all your evils. My sovereignty is really this:
I want all that makes you unhappy, restless, tormented to hide it and burn it all in My Love. And, as beneficent, pacific, magnanimous King that I am, I want to exchange you with My Will, with My most tender Love, with My riches and happiness, with the most pure peace and joy.
If you will give Me your will, all is done. You will make Me happy, and you will be happy; I long for nothing else than My Will reign in your midst. Heaven and earth will smile at you. My Celestial Mother will be Mother and Queen to you. She knows the great good that the Kingdom of My Will shall bring to you, to satisfy My ardent desires, and make Me stop crying. And loving you as her true children, She goes around in the midst of the people, throughout the nations to dispose them and prepare them to receive the dominion of the Kingdom of My Will.
It was She who prepared the people for Me, to make Me descend from Heaven upon the earth; and I entrust to Her maternal love to dispose the souls and the people to Me to receive a gift so great. Therefore, listen to Me; and I beg you My children to read these pages that I place before you with attention; and you will feel the need to live with My Will. I will be beside you when you read, and I will touch your mind, your heart, so that you understand and resolve to desire the Gift of My Divine FIAT.”
(Words of Our Lord given to Luisa Piccarreta in 1925 for the "Book of Heaven")

Pope John Paul II in a letter dated August I5, I986, to the Bishop of Aachen, Germany, wrote on the theme of "Thy Kingdom Come.” In that letter, he expressed this thought: “Whoever invokes God that His Kingdom come, must himself be ready to prepare the way for that Kingdom. Prayer demands that we do our part.” This same wonderful Pope, so acutely aware of the evils of our present time, believes the 21st Century will bring the Church her greatest glory!
MATERNAL APPEAL OF THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN
Dearest child, I feel the irresistible need to descend from Heaven, to pay you my maternal visits. If you will assure Me of your filial love, your fidelity, I will remain always with you in your soul to be your teacher, model, example, and most tender Mother.
I come to invite you to enter into the Kingdom of your Mother, into the Kingdom, that is, of the Divine Will; and I knock at the door of your heart so that you open it to Me. Do you know? With my own hands I bring you this book as gift: I offer it to you with motherly care so that you, in your turn, in reading it, may learn to live on Heaven and no longer on earth.
This book is of gold, my child; it will form your spiritual fortune and also your terrestrial happiness. In it you will find the fountain of all goods: if you are weak, you will, acquire strength; if you are tempted, you will acquire victory; if you have fallen into sin, you will encounter the compassionate and powerful hand which will lift you up; if hungry, you will enjoy the exquisite food of the Divine Will. With It you will not lack anything; you will no longer be alone; because your Mother will keep you sweet company and, with her maternal care, will undertake the pledge of making you happy. I, your celestial Empress, will think of all your needs, if only you will consent to live united to Me.
If you only knew my anxieties, my ardent longings, and also the tears that I shed for my children! If you only knew how I yearn with the desire that you listen to my lessons all of Heaven and learn to live on Divine Will!
In this book you will find marvels: you will find a Mother who loves you so much as to sacrifice her beloved Son for you, so that you can live with that same Life with which She Herself lived upon the earth.
Ah, do not give Me this sorrow; do not reject Me. Accept this gift of Heaven that I bring you. Receive my visit, my lessons. Know that I will go about all the earth; I will go to each individual, into every family, into the religious communities, into every nation, beside all peoples; and, if necessary, I will go around for whole centuries until as Queen I have formed my people, and as Mother my children, who will know and let reign everywhere the Divine Will.
Here is explained to you the purpose of this book. Those who will accept it with love will be the first fortunate children who will pertain to the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat; and I will write their names in my maternal heart with letters of gold.
Do you see my daughter? That same infinite love of God, that in the Redemption wanted to make use of Me for the descent of the Eternal Word upon the earth, calls Me once again into the field and confides to Me the arduous task, the sublime mandate of forming upon the earth the children of the Kingdom of his Divine Will. Thus, with the kindness and care of a mother I put Myself to work and prepare the way which you must follow to this happy Kingdom.
To such purpose I will give you sublime and celestial lessons; and, finally, I will teach you new and special prayers by which you will engage the heavens, the sun, creation, my own Life, and that of my Son, and all the saints, so that they will impetrate in your name the adorable Reign of the Divine Will. These prayers are the most powerful, because they involve the divine operation itself. By their means, God will feel Himself disarmed and won by the creature. Fortified with this support you will hasten the advent of his most happy Kingdom; and with Me you will obtain that the Divine Will be done on earth as in Heaven, according to the desire of the Divine Master.
Courage, my child. Make Me content, and I will bless you.
ABOUT LUISA'S APPEAL TO EVERYONE
TO ENTER INTO THE REIGN OF THE DIVINE WILL
Greatly embarrassed at the thought that she must put in writing what Jesus made known to her about his Most Holy Will, and that these things would be seen by others even during her lifetime, Luisa gave in to holy obedience which demanded this of her at the price of great sacrifice. . She begged Jesus to make her completely disappear and let His Will do all the writing so that Its letters of gold would describe the concepts and effects, strength and power of the Most High Will and what happens to the soul who lives in It: how it is elevated and divinized by living in Its center; how it leaves its mortal remains and returns to its beginning. Having triumphed over its weaknesses and shortcomings, the soul reacquires its original state: beautiful, pure and completely ordered towards its Creator, just as it came forth from his creative hands.
Luisa asked Jesus to let the Divine Will tell how sad It was at being rejected by creatures (Adam and Eve), being forced to return to Its heavenly regions; and how, even though rejected, It continues to cast Its rays upon the human family like the sun on high because it wants to come down and reign among them. She begs It to send the rays of Its longings, Its sobbings and Its tears, of Its intense and eternal sorrow in seeing Itself separated from the will of Its human creatures; and how It is waiting for them to call It back down and receive It as their triumphant King to reign once again on earth as in Heaven.
To all who will read the writings Luisa says: “Please, I beg you to receive with love what Jesus wants to give you: His Will. However, in giving you His, He wants yours in return; otherwise His cannot reign. If you only knew how much love Jesus has for you, in wanting you to have the greatest Gift that can exist whether in Heaven or earth: His Will!
“Jesus cries so many bitter tears for you because He sees you dragging yourself along the ground; He sees how miserable and sickly you are; and He sees that it is all because you have been living by your own will...
“Jesus truly suffers and cries over your condition. He begs you, as He sobs, to let his Will reign in you. He wants you healthy, not sick; wealthy (in Grace), not poor; strong, not weak; immutable, not always changing; and kings not slaves. He doesn't want impressive penances from you, long prayers, or anything else; He just wants his Will to reign in you and your will to be without its own life.
“So please, listen to Him! I am ready to give my life for each one of you, to suffer whatever is necessary. But open up your souls so that the Will of my Jesus can reign and triumph in the human family.”
Now Luisa invites everyone: “Come with me into Eden, where everything began for us. This is where the Supreme Being created man and, in making him king, gave him a kingdom to role. This kingdom was the entire universe. However, his scepter, crown and authority came from the center of his soul, where the Divine Fiat reigned as ruling King. This is where man's true royalty was: in the Divine Fiat. He was clothed magnificently in garments more brilliant than the sun. His acts were majestic and his beauty enchanting. God loved him so much. He played with him and called him “my little king and son.” There was only happiness, order and harmony.”
Luisa's beautiful appeal for all to enter into the most happy Kingdom of the Divine Will is rather lengthy, too long to include it all in this newsletter; but she emphasizes that it is not only she who is calling us but our loving Jesus, also. It was He Who was the first to pray to the Heavenly Father that His Kingdom come and that His Will be done on earth as in Heaven.
INTERESTING PARALLEL: LUISA'S 1924 APPEAL AND
LITTLE, TINY LUISA SCHNEIDER'S VISIT TO THE POPE!
In 1924, Luisa Piccarreta made an appeal from her cross, which was her bed of so many years. She appealed to everyone to come and enter into the Kingdom of the FIAT. Here are, some interesting words from her appeal:
“… Therefore, I appeal to all; and I make this appeal together with Jesus, with his own tears, with his Heart , that burns, that wants to give its FIAT. From within the FIAT we have come forth; It has given us life. It is our obligation and duty to return to It, into our dear and interminable heritage.
"And in the first place, I appeal to the Highest Hierarch, to the Roman Pontiff, to His Holiness to the representative of the Holy Church, and therefore the representative of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. At his holy feet, this little, tiny child places this Kingdom, so that he dominate It and make It known; and with his paternal and authoritative voice, call his children to live in this Kingdom so holy."
Is our wonder justified in pondering how Divine Providence arranged for little, tiny Luisa Schneider to come from her visit to little, tiny Luisa Piccarreta’s home to the feet of the Highest Hierarch, the Roman Pontiff, bringing him a relic medallion of Luisa Piccarreta, the Herald of the Kingdom of the Divine Will?
VATICAN CITY:
One-year-old Luisa Schneider meets Pope John Paul II in private audience and presents him with a relic medallion of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, and takes her second step! Little Luisa Schneider was born on March 3, 1996, into the family of Dr. and Mrs. Dan Schneider of Virginia Beach, VA. That was the eve of the anniversary of Luisa Piccarreta's death (March 4. 1947). Little Luisa Schneider was named after "guess who?" Well, this little girl took her first step on the balcony off the living room of Luisa Piccarreta’s apartment! This happened at the time of the 'big celebrations for the 50th anniversary of 'big' Luisa's passing, which were held in Corato, ItaIy, last March.
Immediately following the celebrations in Corato, Luisa's mother, Mrs. Dan Schneider, and four other women, (Karen Page, Cathy Leitz, Teresa Tamburello, and Ann Burns) from Virginia Beach, VA, had a private audience with the Pope.
† FIAT! †
(*) Who of the Three Divine Persons is speaking? It is certainly God the Father; but He does so in the Person of the Son, Jesus Christ, His expression and word, the Incarnate Word and Redeemer, revelation of the divine paternity and love.
