Jesus, rest your gaze upon me, prepare my soul to receive the kiss of your union, cleanse me. May we live this prayer together, united in every way, in body, in soul, in love and in free will. May this encounter between love created and Love uncreated be a source of Life for all. In this way, hidden in your Love, all the created dissolves in the ardent fire of Love uncreated. Amen. FIAT.

 “Beloved, we are God's children now” (1 Jn, 3:2)

Passage from “Book of Heaven” by Luisa Piccarreta, the Little Daughter of the Divine Will – 26 February 1927 – first section

My lovable Jesus makes me struggle very much for His return.
Oh! how my little soul longs for Him,
reduced, without Him, to be like earth without water and without sun, such that, while I burn with thirst, the darkness is so great that I do not know where to move my step in order to find Him who alone can give the water that quenches my thirst, and who makes the sun rise for me, that gives light to my steps, to find He who moves away from me.

Ah! Jesus! Jesus! Come back! Don't You feel my heartbeat in Yours that calls You, and having no more vital humor, palpitates with difficulty and has no more strength to call You?

But while I was saying this and other things, my Highest Good, Jesus, moved in my interior,
and showed three little cords that, tied together, all three of them, were tied in the depth of my soul.
These cords were descending from Heaven, and were linked to three bells. Jesus was a little child, and with a grace that cannot be described, and all in a haste, He took the little cords in His tiny little hands and pulled them strongly – but so much that it seemed that those bells formed a peal so loud in Heaven, that the whole of Heaven would come out to see who it was that was sounding with such haste and might as to call the attention of Heaven.

I too remained stupefied, and my sweet Jesus told me:
“My daughter, the soul in whom My Will reigns has little cords of most pure gold,
that descend from the Power of the Father,
from the Wisdom of Me, the Son,
from the Love of the Holy Spirit.

As she operates, loves, prays, suffers,
I take the little cords in My hands,
and I put Our Power, Wisdom and Love in motion,
for the good and the glory of all the Blessed and of all creatures. This is why all came out to enjoy the feast of your act.
So, as you see, the acts of the soul in whom My Will reigns are formed in Heaven, in the womb of her Creator;
they descend upon earth through the three cords of Our Power, Wisdom and Love,
and ascend again to their source, to bring back the glory due to Us.
And I delight very much in pulling these cords, so as to make everyone hear the sound of these mysterious bells.”

Let us pray 

Lord, on this day, allow me to be particularly careful to place my acts in your Will… When my soul does all things in your Will, may the bells that you ring sound like bells down to this earth. I know how much their sound must be prettier, grander, gentler and more harmonious that the sounds that we hear down here; they are a prelude of Heaven.

Let us pray together, we who long for communion in these Easter days; the trial is difficult, our soul wants to receive you on this holy day. Jesus, we unite ourselves with You to live in the Joy of Life, therefore in your Will, with your Love, we say this prayer: (click “Pray”).
