#15. To Mrs. Copparo La Scola from Termini Imerese, Palermo.

In Voluntate Dei!

Most esteemed and blessed daughter in the Divine Volition,

Here I am to make you content. I believe that the Queen of

Heaven and the great King of Sorrows will reward you for your

great goodness and charity, and will be generous to you with

celestial favors, as you interest yourself so much in promoting His

Passion and that which regards His Divine Will. Greater love

cannot be given to the Lord.

Now let’s come to us. You say you have many crosses.

Good sign, my daughter. Crosses are divine jealousies and little

coins that our Lord gives us. His jealousy is the great love He has

in making of us saints; He takes everyone away from us and He

Himself, God, Maker and Martyr, with little crosses and with His

own hands, works our souls and makes of them His images. What

love for us, as we can say, through little and large crosses, “I am

similar to my dear Jesus!”

But do you want to know why you feel the weight of your

miseries? Because many times you do not try to be together with

Jesus and to convince yourself that He is already with you, and you

do not unite the pains of Jesus with yours. Before the pains of

Jesus, yours lose hardness, empty themselves of their weight,

become small, and almost smile, because they love to adorn our

souls with the same ornaments as those with which we see Jesus

being adorned. What pleasure, what joy, to be able to say: “You

have suffered for me, and I for You!” Together with Jesus, pains

change their look, miseries disappear; and from pains, miseries and

weaknesses the most beautiful conquests, celestial riches and the

strength of God arise, and the very Angels and Saints envy our lot.

Therefore, my daughter, here is the secret to becoming a

saint: be together with Jesus, never deny Him anything, and in

everything you do, even in necessary things of life-in the pains you

suffer, in the prayers you say, in the work, in the food, in the sleep,

say to Him from the heart: “Jesus, I want to do always your

Will.”..In this way, you will always keep the Fiat on your lips, in

your mind, and in your heart.

If you do this, you will form the joy of the Heart of Jesus,

and He will not be able to deny you anything, not even the sanctity

of your children… It seems that you are very much concerned for

them. Do not fear; place them in the hands of Jesus and on the lap

of the Celestial Mama. Advise them to read often the book of the

Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will, and you will

see the great things the Lord will do with them.

I finish by recommending that you never lose peace… Be

careful not ever to be disturbed, not even for your miseries, and not

even for the illness of your husband. Let us adore the judgments of

God, just and holy, Who disposes everything for our good and to

make us holy.

I commend myself to your prayers, and from the heart I will

do it for you and for all those who buy the book, so that all may

become saints. I leave you in the sea of the Divine Volition, and

with a thousand regards, I say,

Most affectionately yours,

the little daughter of the Divine Will
