Who is Luisa Piccarreta?
"Our Lord Jesus chose Luisa Piccarreta to share His Gift of Living in the Divine Will with us. As herald of this “sanctity of sanctities” revealed to her by Jesus, Luisa’s life was fully anchored in God’s Divine Will. This “little daughter of the Divine Will” of the 20th century will make known this profound spirituality amidst a succession of various epidemics, and two wars that mark the times of her life..."

Luisa (to Jesus): "My Love, I am known by no one."
Jesus: "What? You are known by no one? All the Angels and Saints know you, each one of them, and they anxiously await your operating in my Will, like a divine note, and the most harmonious one, which flows over everything they have done in life, to give them greater splendor and contentment. All the purging souls know you, feeling upon themselves the continuous refreshment that the operating in my Will brings. The demons know you from the power of my Will that they feel in you. And if the earth does not know you for now, it will know you later. It happens, and I act with one who does by Will, just as I did with my Celestial Mother: I constituted her Queen of all, and I commanded all to recognize her and honor her as their Queen; and I commanded her to crush with her foot the head of the infernal dragon. So I do with those who live in my Will; everything is under their dominion, and there is no good which does not come from them."
The Book of Heaven, Volume 14: March 10, 1922
"Luisa is the herald of the Divine Will, the first soul born in a state of Original Sin that God has raised to the heights of holiness, the state of beatitude whilst on earth. He has given her possession of the Divine Will and immeasurable graces. She is the first. She wrote her diaries so that you could follow, but walking your own unique path along this route."
Derek Williams
"The profound testimony of Luisa Piccarreta...draws people to the deepest unity with [God]...This 'living in the Divine Will' is the actual way in which the Son Jesus lived on earth, bringing here with Him the life of Heaven... [Luisa] transformed her entire heart into a dwelling place for God alone."
Cardinal Jose' SaraivaMartins
In the preface to The Sun of My Will,
Luisa's official biography from the Vatican
It seems that Our Lord, who century after century increases the wonders of His Love more and more, wanted to make of this virgin with no education, whom He calls the littlest one that He found on earth, the instrument of a mission so sublime that no other can
be compared to it - that is, the triumph of the Divine Will upon the whole earth, in conformity with what is said in the ‘Our Father’: Fiat Voluntas Tua sicut in Coelo et in terra."
Saint Annibale M. di Francia
“The Eucharist was her only food, the bed her Cross, the 'Fiat' her motto.”
Fr. Sergio Pellegrini,
Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Trani-Barletta
