Learn about the Gift of Living in the Divine Will

The website of the Little Children of the Divine Will (LCDW), Philippines and USA
explains how to live in the Divine Will, describing it as: 

"The most important act of your whole life – To live in the Divine Will means we unite our human will with Jesus’ Divine Will and allow the Divine Will to reign in us and be the “life” that animates everything we do.  Jesus tells Luisa about this continuous act of union or fusion with His Will..."

"Oh, if creatures knew the great good I am preparing, the surprises of love, the unheard-of graces — how much more attentive they would be."

~Jesus

Book of Heaven, Volume 24: August 26, 1928

"...After this, my always lovable Jesus made Himself seen as a little child in the depth of my little soul. He clasped me, He kissed me, He breathed over me, and I felt new life, new love, being infused in me, and I repeated for Him what He was doing to me.

And repeating His kisses, He told me: “Little daughter of my Will, as my breath breathes over you, it renews you, and with its vivifying power it destroys in you the infection of the seed of the human volition and vivifies the seed of my Divine Fiat. This breath is the origin of the human life of the creature. As man withdrew from my Will, he lost my breath; and even though life remained in him, he no longer felt the vivifying force of my breath which, in vivifying him, maintained him beautiful, fresh and similar to his Creator. So, without my breath, man remained like that flower which, having no more rain, wind and Sun, fades, withers and, lowering its head, tends to die.

Now, in order to rehabilitate the Kingdom of my Divine Will in the midst of creatures, it is necessary that my continuous breath return to their midst, which, breathing over them, more than wind, may let the Sun of my Will enter into them, so that, with Its heat, It may destroy the bad seed of the human volition and may render man beautiful and fresh again, just as he was created. And so, straightening up its stem under the rain of my grace, the flower raises its head, becomes vivified, acquires color, and tends toward the life of my Will – no longer toward death.

Oh, if the creatures knew the great good I am preparing, the surprises of love, the unheard-of graces – how much more attentive they would be! And those who know the knowledges about my Will – oh, how they would put their lives in order to fling them into the midst of the world, so that creatures may dispose themselves to receive such a great good!


In fact, these knowledges have the virtue of helping to facilitate the human dispositions for a good so great. But human ingratitude is always the same; instead of preparing themselves, they think of anything else, and they hurl themselves into sin.”

Fr. Chuch Kelly, pastor of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Paradise, California, created this 8-page handout giving an overview of the Divine Will: What is the gift of living in the Divine Will? What happens to a person who experiences it? What do I need to do to live in the Divine Will? Acts and Rounds in the Divine Will.

 Crucial to living in the Divine Will is the understanding of who we are and who God is.
That sounds simple, but do we really understand it? 

Fr. Celso offers a five-video series on the gift on living in the Divine Will
where he explains how we need to embrace our "nothingness" so that God can fill us with Himself (the ALL).

"The Drop Book Series is a compilation of three books based on the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. The original books were written years ago as a homeschooling project for the sole purpose of introducing two young children to the gift of living in the Divine Will based on the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. The books were not written by theologians and are only a reflection of personal understandings and experiences of the gift of living in the Divine Will."

Mother Gabrielle Marie of the Benedictine Daughters of Divine Will recommends The Drop Book Series as a great way to begin learning about the Divine Will for all ages!

 "Mother Gabrielle Marie, Mother Superior and foundress of the Benedictine Daughters of Divine Will, began her religious life as a Poor Clare of Perpetual Adoration in the United States.  For thirty-three years, she learned much under the holy guidance of her late Abbess Mother Angelica, foundress of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament and EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network).  Despite meeting many well-known and even saintly religious figures through her monastery’s connection with the highly successful Catholic television network, the most significant moment in Mother Gabrielle Marie’s life came in 1998 through the hands of a young postulant under her care.  Through a simple request for permission to read a book given to the sister by her grandmother, Mother discovered, began reading, and instantly fell in love with the Divine Will writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta..."

This gift is not a new devotion. It is not about doing the Will of God. If it was, there would be nothing new to write about, because the Saints have been writing on that very topic for nearly 2,000 years. This gift is about living in the Divine Will.
