Pastoral Message
On the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgen Mary
August 15, 2020
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I would like to invite all of you to consecrate or renew your consecration to the Divine Will, using the consecration prayer that is attached in this letter.
In Volume 18, on August 15, 1925, of the Book of Heaven, Our Lord Jesus reveals to Luisa Piccarreta that, “the true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will,” therefore, for all of us who know the writings of Luisa, it is a great occasion to celebrate what God has done in the Blessed Virgin Mary, who since the moment of her conception gave her fiat to God, and through her yes to God, our Redeemer came to save us.
Another important passage that I recommend you read during this feast comes from Volume 36, August 15, 1938, in which the Lord tells Luisa about this feast.
Finally, I want to encourage all of you to develop a devotion to our Lady and especially during this most difficult time to pray the rosary daily, to consecrate yourselves to the Divine Will, and to do your best to remain always in a state of Grace.
On this Feast of the Divine Will, let us entrusted ourselves to the Blessed Mother, let us ask our Mother that through her maternal hands she may offer our human will to God, and that through the same hands she may obtain the Gift of the Divine Will for us.
May the Divine Will make us holy for the praise and Glory of God.
Fiat,
Fr. Gabriel Barrera
Prayer of Consecration to the Divine Will
O adorable and Divine Will, here I am, before the immensity
of Your Light, that Your eternal Goodness may open to me the
doors, and make me enter into It, to form my life all in You, Divine
Will.
Therefore, prostrate before Your Light, I, the littlest among all
creatures, come, O adorable Will, into the little group of the first
children of Your Supreme Fiat. Prostrate in my nothingness, I
beseech and implore Your endless Light, that It may want to invest
me and eclipse everything that does not belong to You, in such a
way that I may do nothing other than look, comprehend and live in
You, Divine Will.
It will be my life, the center of my intelligence, the enrapturer
of my heart and of my whole being. In this heart the human will
will no longer have life; I will banish it forever, and will form the
new Eden of peace, of happiness and of love. With It I shall always
be happy, I shall have a unique strength, and a sanctity that
sanctifies everything and brings everything to God.
Here prostrate, I invoke the help of the Sacrosanct Trinity, that
They admit me to live in the cloister of the Divine Will, so as to
restore in me the original order of Creation, just as the creature was
created.
Celestial Mother, Sovereign Queen of the Divine Fiat, take me
by the hand and enclose me in the Light of the Divine Will. You
will be my guide, my tender Mother; You will guard your child, and
will teach me to live and to maintain myself in the order and in the
bounds of the Divine Will. Celestial Sovereign, to your Heart I
entrust my whole being; I will be the tiny little child of the Divine
Will. You will teach me the Divine Will, and I will be attentive in
listening to You. You will lay your blue mantle over me, so that the
infernal serpent may not dare to penetrate into this Sacred Eden to
entice me and make me fall into the maze of the human will.
Heart of my highest Good, Jesus, You will give me Your
flames, that they may burn me, consume me and nourish me, to
form in me the life of the Supreme Will.
Saint Joseph, You will be my Protector, the Custodian of my
heart, and will keep the keys of my will in Your hands. You will
keep my heart jealously, and will never give it to me again, that I
may be sure never to go out of the Will of God.
Guardian Angel, guard me, defend me, help me in everything,
so that my Eden may grow flourishing, and be the call of the whole
world into the Will of God.
Celestial Court, come to my help, and I promise You to live
always in the Divine Will. Amen.
