I’m reading the book of heaven, just a peasant woman from Iran, a convert from Islam but I feel the deep profound love Luisa had for our Lord Jesus and Mary most holy and their immense love for her. She showed her obedience and love by living it as she says depriving herself from walking, sleeping, working, eating and all and all as a victim soul to teach us the power of sacrifice and Jesus our Lord provided for her a bishop to have holy mass at her little apartment so she can receive Him daily, now that’s real true love as it is in heaven. Father Celso explains beautifully the significance of Luisa’s actions. Everyone should read the book of heaven. I love her because she loved our God with His love, she love Holy Mother with her love and showing us only with their love we can love them as they deserved to be loved. Our human love don’t measure up not even close. Fiat!
I have been reading the Book of Heaven and I'm on volume 20. I love the little lessons Jesus gives us and how He fills us with more light as we learn. Every time I read, I say to Jesus, thank you so much for this book and thank you for loving us so much. He fills my heart with so much joy and I cannot wait till everyone knows and loves the Divine Will. What a beautiful gift God has in store for us. Fiat.
Friend, maybe you would like to pray with our Divine Will prayer group. It’s online and it’s called Divine Will Era 2.
Wait, so God's divine will is to not walk, sleep, work, eat and all???
@@PP-ep1snTHAT WAS LUISA'S MISSION, OUR IS TO DO GOD'S WILL IN ALL OUR ACTS, SUFFERINGS, WORK ETC. WE UNITE WITH HIM
Read the queen of heaven and earth our mother will help you the 24 hours of the passion of our Lord, these are reparation prayers. Read your bible too.
My identical twin sister Laurie, was a big devotee of Luisa Picaretta. A few days after she died, a friend of hers came over to see me. The friend gave me a book called “The 24 Hours of the Passion of Jesus Christ”. Paula told me that Laurie had this book with her all the time, and that she attended Eucharist Adoration frequently. Weeks after I returned home from her funeral, I started looking at this book. In the back is a bibliography of Luisa Picaretta. To my awe I discovered that Laurie died on the very same day as Luisa. March 4th. Luisa was born on April23, the same day as Laurie’s youngest child, Kelly. Luisa was from the very same province in Italy as Kelly’s husband’s family!! It was amazing . I miss my twin more than I can ever express. She became more holy during the two years after her husband’s death March 8. I remember her telling me so often that this is not our home. She told me to be the hands and feet of Christ to the dying. I think I’m going to read this book. Please pray for me as I struggle a lot with her being gone, and in March it will be six years since she died. God bless all who are reading this. Praise to Jesus that we have a Savior!!!
Offer your heart and soul ( Sufferings) To Christ , He Will Make Very Good Use it While Healing you. God Bless
Give your sadness to the holy souls in purgatory. Praise Jesus
Know that God's love for you is ,and is ever lasting. Look to him. Offer up your all your problems. He will take them away
I returned to confession after decades, I was paralyzed with shame....the Priest said to me, "crawl into his wounds" I didn't understand but found my way to Louisa, The 24 hours..." and it has had enormous impact on me and helped me so much to grow in my love of Christ and humility of self. I'm so sorry for the pain you feel on the separation from your sister. She left you with an amazing gift in that book, use it to honor her. She is waiting for you, and the book is your way to her. Blessing to you! Forever in Christ!
The Hours of the Passion so important as when you pray them Jesus told Luisa that every word prayed releases a soul from Purgatory & then the Souls then in Heaven will pray for you.
Father Chris I'm so happy God chose you to be our Shepherd. ✝️🙏. You've helped me a lot.
Yes. Help me a lot too
I am absolutely grateful for this video . A couple of years ago, I had a dream of a lady . She was floating on top of a grave and I had a feeling she is very upset with me . Couple days later I found this lady picture on the internet and it was Luisa Piccaretta ! I was shocked because I had never seen or heard of her before . I was even more in shock when I found a book on my shelf that was gifted too me who knows when . It was the 24 hours of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ .
How did u start to understand divine will ie I am a beginner
A great starting point is The hours of the passion.You can access them on youtube ( Fr. Iannuzzi) Also rounds in the Divine will also on RUclips. My sister introduced me to the D.W. I hadn't a clue. But when I meditated ob the hours of the passion, I was totally drawn in. Absolutely engulfed in the D.W.Its soooo beautiful 🙏
That is very incredible. Wow.
@@maighreadcurtin1574wish there was a starter or beginner video yo define divine will, rounds etc
Awsome to received and live in the gift of the Divine WIll.
I went to one divine will prayer meeting invited by a friend. There was hyper focus on Luisa and also a woman who is currently alive that they played recordings of speaking of the divine will. They changed the words to well known Catholic prayers also. Something inside me felt like this was very off. Far more focused on the messangers then the message of God. I did some research afterward and decided this group wasn't for me. Maybe it was this particular group doing it wrong but I will stick with fully approved devotions. The church has many.
Yeah, they are doing it wrong. The main focus of the groups should be the reading of the Book of Heaven, that contains the revelations Jesus gave to Luisa. Luisa herself, when she was alive on this Earth, made herself disappear so that everyone would see Jesus, not her. I sure hope you give it another try. We have a Zoom meeting on Wednesdays, we are reading volume 1, if you are interested, let me know so I can give you the link. Blessing in the Divine Will.
Breaking down to the simple:
-The Gospels call everyone to holiness
-When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, God said this is my son whom I am well pleased
-At Cana, Mary said, do what he tells you
-At the Transfiguration, God said, this is my son whom I am well pleased listen to him
-Focus on the first commandment to live your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and the NEW commandment Jesus gave his Apostles, love your neighbor as yourself -loving everyone as God commanded in the Gospels, and the saints writings further emphasize key to eternity
-At Gethsemane, Jesus said, not my will but thine -follow his lead.
-The Chaplet of St. Michael is a prayer to holiness
-The writings of the saints and mystics do not reveal anything new, they further Mary and God’s appeal to everyone to desire holiness. To imitate Christ in everything including to die to self, not my will but yours, God.
-Pray (meditate on) the words Jesus created in the Our Father with reverence. It is the Gospel and the Mass in short form
-The morning offering is the time to give Christ the driver’s seat for your day. Lord, I give you permission to work through me this day in any way you wish, I ask that you give me the grace to see your handiwork, so I may give you the credit and the glory
-Consecrate yourself to the Holy family
-Read the daily Mass readings coupled with In Conversation with God for further understanding of their teaching
-Go to Mass more often during the week
-Go to Adoration several times a week (even if all you do is pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy)
-Go to confession at least twice monthly and
confess your venial sins (do a proper self examination beforehand)
-Pray the Rosary daily
-Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily
-Realize everything you have/own is from God, every good idea is inspired by God, you own nothing. Give God his due recognition
-Be humble and meek as Mary and her son
All of this can be done, start with a few items, continue to add. Ask God for the grace to live a more holy life daily, and he will show you the way…
…,”AND,MOSES…,SAID,”(TO THE , “(FATHER,GOD)”,…””(WHO SHALL…,”I SAY”!!!,”TO , “PHARAOH 2:22 ,…”WHO”,SENT ME”…,”AND, GOD ANSWERED”!!!,””I AM…,”(THAT - I - AM…,HATH “SENT ME”…,”SELAH AND, AMEN”…,💕🙏💕🌈🌈🌅⚖️🎯🦅🎣🦋🍎👍🤗🙏💕.,AMEN.
And make the five first Saturdays 🙏
I am nothing and God is all. Come Divine Will.
Mother, thank you for the gift of your Son. Jesus, thank You for the gift of Your holy Mother!
I have many concerns about these revelations as given by Fr. Alar.
The Vatican has approved the Italian version; we await the correct translation of the English. Do not miss out on the breath of the Holy Spirit in the age of Sanctification, as Pope St John Paul 2 told us "It is the Springtime of the New Evangelization"
No need to be concerned. It will draw you deeper into the Heart of Jesus and anchor you ever more firmly in the Bosom of Mother Church.
Miss out? Miss out on what, salvation?
@@aldoemilycarfagna4229
You need to stop saying “The Vatican has approved” watch this video again, both Fr Alar and Daniel O’Connor said, approved at the Diocese level, not the Vatican..
He didn’t have the authority to basically give the Church’s approval. He basically told the World on You Tube “ whatever this guy says, I agree with.”
I’ve been reading the Hours of the Passion by Luisa Piccarreta every day for over a year - changed my life and drew me closer to His Love - a Love so profound you can’t describe it. ❤🙏 Thank you
I read that book last year when I'd go to Adoration, it is a powerful book.
❤
Thy Will Be Done
There are no Church approved English translations.
I had all of her writings about 20 years. I started reading them and my soul became very disturbed. After a few years I felt disturbed by them being in my home. I had to throw her complete works in the trash.
Daniel, Ottawa here.. you were our speaker.. at ourSpiritual Motherhood of Priest’s conference. God BLESS you and Fr. Chris. Thank you. ❤️🙏😊🇨🇦
Everything we need is handed down from the apostles Amen
Almost but not quite true since God chooses to aid the teaching of the apostles with prophets in every age.
The Catholic Church has always taught that everything we need is handed down ffom the apostles. If it were not so, then all those born prior to these new prophets would not have been saved.
Exactly!
@@legiomariae4961 Everything we need, yes. But He is not stingy, and gives us more to help us in these dark times. That is why we have NEW canonized saints. If they were not "helpful" to us, the Church would not still be holding canonization ceremonies to hold up people for our emulation--even millenia after He left, and after the deposit of faith was completed. Don't you think having St. Pio has been helpful to your faith and the Church's faith, even though we did not "need" him? What about St. Therese? Again, just because we do not "need" it, does not mean it is not helpful or desired by our Lord. Otherwise, what was the point of Our Lady going to St. Bernadette at Lourdes? Or St. Juan Diego at Guadalupe? After all, the deposit of faith was completed already by then, right?? But still, over 20,000 Native indigenous souls agreed to baptism and salvation in their conversion at the message of Our Lady to Juan Diego, and that has been a great gift to the Church, many believe, and the Church has said that incident is "worthy of belief." So, lighten up!
So are u saying that we ought not recirte The Holy Rosary, follow Fatima etc etc?
There’s a difference between doing the Divine Will & having the Divine Will.
Some of her writings were placed in the Index of Forbidden Books & never taken off until the Index was abolished in 1966. The Holy Office wrote, "the three books covered by this decree would not have ordinarily merited particular consideration, in view of their small size and limited weight. But they were condemned because they represent a false and dangerous mysticism which is frequent in our days. The principal subject of the writings of Luisa Piccarreta is the Divine Will, conceived in an exaggerated and erroneous manner and presented in language and terminology super-abounding with inexactitudes and extravagances. The small volumes in question have already appeared in numerous editions and have been translated into other languages... For this reason it was opportune to put the faithful on their guard.”
How do you exaggerate God or heaven?
May God’s Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you Father Alar for your wisdom! All the teachings that you shared with us strengthened my Catholic faith and my prayer life. I am more closer to God now than I ever have. Looking forward for all your talks!!❤️❤️🙏🙏
Professor Daniel, what a beautiful description of thy will be done, I never realized there were so many mystics throughout the Catholic Church. God Bless you and Father Chris 🙌 .
Blessed Mother, help me to bring death to my will, and the grace to live in the Divine Will, now and forever!
Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus I consecrate my heart to you!!!
Pray for us St Faustina
Thank you Father Chris for this great afternoon and hosting Daniel O’Connor. Please have him back, there is so much to this beautiful spirituality and we have just scratched the surface!
Yes
@@DivineMercy_Official1
@@DivineMercy_OfficialFather, please speak of the Servant of God Marcel Van as well. Please! Please! Please! People need to know him to understand St. Therese's Little Way better.
Thank you!❤❤❤
Fr. Chris and Sir Daniel O'Connor, the Holy Spirit uses you to knock in our hearts and arouse our curiosity in these discussions on the Will of God, I feel like I have gotten slightly higher, closer to God in my spirituality. I hope this talk continues. Thank you very much. God bless you both.
I wish Father would have nothing to do with this man Louisa.
I think sticking with church approved things is best. I know I know it’s not necessary to completely avoid these private non church approved ones and I am open to them but they seem not to add anything useful to our faith like Fatima or Lourdes or Guadalupe. That’s just my imo but I think if we stick with church approved ones we will be fine. But I guess I could be wrong. There’s just so much for a new catholic to learn about and I think these non church approved ones stake away from my learning of church approved ones which are really important imo
Well good then because this is very much approved by the church.
I cannot tell you how long I have yearned for Father Chris to find out about the Divine Will because we all know how passionate he is and I thought…when he finds out he will run with it and it will spread so that more souls live it ( they will give Jesus life within them ) and I thought I should email him! But then I hesitated because I thought how can I explain something so grandiose and immense in a nutshell!! You can’t I don’t think anyone can … but more graces ( more Divine Light) has being given right now..anyways and I thought plus he probably wouldn’t believe me who am I but nothing ..just a worm.. so I left it up to the Divine Will for he knows best and at what time so I just did what they call around praying that the Divine will come and his Kingdom cone reign in the heart of Father Chris and in all his consecrated priest throughout his Church and in all of humanity each and every soul past present and future in every generation. And Look! Now it happened !! Because it’s what the Divine Will wants but it will be up to our free will to say yes or no … Everyone have a Blessed Day and give him life in you and in all if your daily acts but READ READ READ for you are The Kingdom !! Interestingly my Father told me some if this as a child it’s all backed up by the catechism … the problem is that we are so poor we don’t know our Faith… read the catechism !! And the Gospel it’s all in there and in Faustina’s Diary of course !!!
Very nicely said wow that’s right give it all to God. He knows better than we do.
I just started listening to this and am reading comments while I am in between time avail to listen and am grateful as well that a priest who has such a huge audience may soon be graced with the gift of the DW. Fiat!
I thought so too but we did email Fr Chris 3 years ago and we have emailed him each year once again!
@@AnneChandler-zy3uk he hasn’t but the Church has…
From what I understand, St Annibale's letter talking about some errors in writings, was in response to a priest who was publishing another mystic's writings without first getting them approved. St Annibale was all about following proper procedure and being obedient to the church, so he was warning this priest about publishing things that had not yet been reviewed.
But this was not a response towards Luisa.
Thank you so much,God will sometimes can be very painful...I cried a bucket of tears today,wiped my eyes and said in all I thank you Jesus
This is incredible. I have never heard of Louisa Piccata (?); about 6+ months ago the words of Jesus- “thy will be done “ kept standing out to me each morning as I prayed the Our Father and has crept into my mind as I have faced difficulties. I say a prayer that came to me each day that enlists the two prayers- Jesus I trust in you, Thy will be done, please inspire me to do Your Will today. I will certainly look into knowing more about this saint. Thank you for your talk today. I believe it was a Godsend for me.
Fr Joseph Iannuzzi is a great theologian with teachings on Utube and his website you will find if you Google his name...It is a gift for the new era, Luisa lived for many years on the EUCHARIST alone.
She is not a saint,in fact there are serious doubts about her writings, excellent talk from priest on you tube about this,steer clear of this stuff
John the baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray as never before - especially the Rosary (daily) for her intentions.
And make the five first Saturdays 🙏
What an inspiring and a great explanation we hear today on The Divine Will. Deeply grateful to you, Fr. Chris and David O’ Connor for sharing what we need to know, do and to live for holiness in life. Yes, the Our Father taught by Jesus is our perfect prayer and guide, wanting only that His will to be done always and at all times. Every time we recite this prayer increases our faith, hope,humility and childlike trust and uniting ourselves to Him, we experience the fullness of peace, love and joy of the spirit.
God bless and prayers for you, Fr. Chris, David O’ Connor and Bro Mark for the excellent work.
Would that be “ Daniel “
? ( O’Connor)
@@michelleharkness7549 Yes, you’re right, thanks for asking. I have to correct it. God bless you.
God Bless you Father because of you and your videos my family and I have found Christ and His One Treu Church on earth. My wife, my two kids, and I are so fulfilled to be in Communion with Christ
My faith has grown so much since finding these talks. Now my mom watches them too!
I have trouble cancelling out my own will, but I trust Jesus.
I'm 63 yr old and my mother died in 2020. I loved her so much, we were never far apart. I remember maybe 15 -20 yrs ago our parish installed this picture of Jesus (Divine Mercy Picture), then I heard about Divine Mercy Chaplet and I was drawn to it, but I didn't know the origins. I remember my mom those years ago saying to me something like. "I'm still not sure of this Chaplet and Sr.Faustina is it trying to take the place of the Rosary, I've read a little of her diary and some of the things she says are so ordinary...".
In early 2020 I came upon Rev Fr Oluoma Chinenye through RUclips and his numerous sermons. This Fr Oluoma is in Nigeria and is Divine Mercy chaplet recitation but I have never heard sermons with such authority and charity, I think they are destined to go down in history. He is a saint. The first sermon I heard was on prayer and the Our Father.
Now 2022 I came upon The Delorous Passion? Sr.Emmerich sp?), I read the book and gave it to others to read.
Now 2024 am hearing about Divine Will. Just amazing to me. God raises the lowly.
Thanks for sharing the Divine Mercy chaplet is the Rosary on training wheels.
3 pm Jesus suffered on the cross for 3 hours without any consolation .
The Spanish when saying the rosary the first three beads of the rosaries symbolize the birth of Jesus before during after.
Your mom mentioned St Faustina could be trying to take the place of the Rosary funny I was just thinking of this with the Divine Will just trying to take the place of the Divine Mercy chaplet amazing.
When you think about it's just another path to adore the Mother of God the Blessed Virgin Mary as any mother or wife or daughter would never get tired of someone telling them they love them.
Catholic Nigeria had a catholic priest that saw in a vision Jesus handing him a sword and the sword turned into a golden rosary suggesting the weapon against the devil is the Rosary.
Mel Gibson's movie Passion of the Christ was based on the writings of Sister Emmerich.
God's love and knowledge is infinite.
The DW - the actual writings and story i- is not what is being passed off here. Please discern after listening to Fr. Mawdsley parsing out DW.
@@mrs.trains1233 Fr. Mawdsley is a big critic of DW Devotion, calling it psuedo masochistic grooming. He is a defrocked RC Priest. Fr. Iannuzzi is a Vatican Theologian and Doctor who is transcribing all Louisa P. Diary and promoting Divine Will Devotion.
As St. Paul says , I no longer live my life but Christ lives in me. So in the Divine Will we no longer live our will but the Divine Will. That’s what the Divine Will is calling us to do. 🙏🙏
Matt 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
Thank you Fr. Chris for addressing some of my concerns about the Divine Will. For now I will ask St Faustina & our blessed Mother to continue to guide me through the sacraments to do Gods Will for me. With all do respect I will wait for the Church to officially decide on Picaretas Divine Will message.
If I waited for the Church to proclaim something, I would be missing out. Two theologians appointed by the Vatican approved these writings in Italian. We wait for the translation in English, but don't miss out! The Church has said we CAN READ THESE WRITINGS but we cannot. print them for distribution. You can order them online in full communion with Church teaching.

@@aldoemilycarfagna4229 You wouldn’t actually be missing out because we have the fullness of divine revelation from Jesus and the apostles. Anything extra is private revelation (like Fatima, Lourdes, Sacred Heart devotion etc which I love!), s bonus, but actually not essential despite how beautiful it might be because truthfully we already have everything we need for our salvation, Our Lord is too generous to have us ‘miss out’ on grace! Peace and blessings to you!
Divine Will is approved by the Catholic Church. Benedict XVI read, approved her books are approved. Faustina & Louisa teachings go hand in hand.
@@aldoemilycarfagna4229
Let people make up their own minds. And continue to love them. The mere fact that two good Catholic scholars have to debate the subject, should be a cause for alarm 🚨 and,
I’ve sensed a bit of pride coming from the people who promote this Divine Will devotion when people express concerns and ask questions. That is no way to promote anything Holy..
There are so many private revelations/devotions, that we cannot possibly follow them all.
Fr Alar said it best, just before he left. Follow Holy Scripture, the Catechism (The Church ⛪️Mass) Pray daily 🙏 and I’ll add,
Pray the Rosary everyday, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.. Go to confession often..
Faith, Hope & Charity
😊
Fr. Chris, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea recently banned all prayer meetings and homilies related to Luisa Piccarreta's Spirituality of the Divine Will stating that they deemed her writings to be erroneous because of their sensationalism, violation of the Magisterium, and her self- portrayal as almost a similar figure as Our Lady.
Thank you for your help and information. It clears up a lot!
@@AnneChandler-zy3ukYes, Fr Mawdsley is doing a good job exposing this false teaching. He is following in the footsteps of such a great priest as Fr Hardon, (God rest his soul!) who is the author of the Modern Catholic Dictionary, and other good priests. Already many years ago those priests were warning the faithful about LP and her writings about the DW.
Thank you for sharing this. We need to follow devotions that are already approved be the magisterium instead of this new age craze.
@@--Maramen to that God bless the souls of all those faithful priests who warned us against this weirdness of Luisa’s writings
@@user-yp2oc2mv8mamen I agree - there are many devotions approved by the church already and well established- we don’t have to follow this one it’s demonic
I believe reading private revelations ( as expounded Bible teachings) can help us attain salvation, in my opinion. Jesus, Mary, and Saints who appear to visionaries and mystics are so real. Whenever I read the apparition books, I can feel an overwhelming grace pouring over my whole being because it’s like experiencing their presence, making me want to love God more. I guess that’s part of
God the Father’s will to pick servants or victim souls to continuously renew the spirit of the whole of humanity. 🙏
God is not the author of confusion but of peace ... He called his apostles brothers, sisters, friends, never creatures, He does not contradict Himself neither does His mother contradict herself ... beware of false doctrines and deception.
So TRUE. Luisa claimed that Jesus told her she was like His Mother; she also claimed that God would allow her to return to earth prior to His return. When and if our Church establishes her as a saint and approves her writings, I’ll accept; until then, I’m skeptical.
@@MichaelPatterson-fb6kmI’m more than sceptical - I knew about this devotion but never really looked into it until recently then I saw the transcripts and was appalled and then I watched fr Mawdsleys video and was even more appalled ruclips.net/video/XP5_81wbj98/видео.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
"I have not come to bring peace, but a sword"
There is nothing in Luisa's writings that contradict the Bible, the doctrine, Tradition or Magisterium. Saint Annibale María Di Francia gave the Nihil Obstat to the 1st 19 volumes (he died when Luisa was writing #20) and his bishop gave the Imprimatur. So, with that being said....this was taken into consideration for his own canonization. If you have not read, nor have you learned about it, stop talking. In the 9 years that I have known and read the Divine Will I have not found anything scandalous or contrary to the faith.
Still not convinced of this & gonna stick to the Saints of old!
Why pick through her writings & compare with scripture & CCC; When the rich tradition of our church has so much wisdom & knowledge??
Me,too. I’ve had some experiences with people who support Luisa’s cause and they are extremely “cult-like”. The Church’s stance is that we should not publicly present her cause at this time.
Look into her visions any Catholic in their right mind would see them as demonic I'm surprised at Fr. Chris
Father Mawsdley has a great expose on the writings of Luisa, where he draws the conclusion that she was an imbalanced soul, being manipulated by demons. I agree with Father Mawsdley, and that we should pray for Luisa and all those who believe it's inspired by God.
@@hamptonblogger5048 You should watch the video of response from this man, Mr. O'Connor. Fr. Mawsdley seems in error. He made a lot of mistakes in his video. Don't you see that Fr. Alar says he believes that Luisa's message is solid? Come on. Be discerning! Don't just go with whatever the last person said to you...hold it in abeyance until God can show you either way.
@@chefEmersonWilliamsDaniel O'Connor's response wasn't very good. And he didn't allow comments on it. Tells you he's afraid of being proved wrong.
Living in the Divine Will is the ultimate fulfillment of the GREAT depth of Love that God has for us. God Bless this talk and everyone. Thank you !! 🙏❤️
True if it's really the Divine Will but is it really the Divine Will?
It is a dialogue of the “OUR FATHER”. So many beautiful words to guide us❤
Great talk by Daniel! Always love listening and learning from him!🙏🙏🙏

Our BLESSED MOTHER LIVED TOTALLY IN THE DIVINE WILL. Please ask Her for help in offering your will to HIS WILL❤️
God Keep me in your will, so I can know what it is I can do for you. Amen
I’ve been praying for months specifically focusing on “Thy will be done” and praying for my trust to increase. I recently finished the consecration to Saint Joseph as well. I’m only halfway through the video so maybe my question will be answered but I struggle with discerning what God’s will is for me. I often feel confused and worried about not doing a good enough job doing His will. Then I feel bad about being confused & worried because that seems like I’m lacking in trust. 😩 I have a STRONG desire to do God’s will though and have been doing the best I can to develop a stronger prayer life. I get consumed with my many failures and things I need to improve and then get worried about being scrupulous. I know you have a separate video about discerning God’s will in your life, I should probably watch it again. I just want to make Jesus happy and save souls but I am so small. I’m praying for virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit to increase.
God Bless You ALWAYS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🙌
Dear read or listen to the volume 8 of the book of heaven. That answers your concerns in His Divine Will! Fiat!
@@soroushfetkovich5084 thank you as I could use many answers and prayers in order to be with our Savior King 👑 JESUS❤️God Bless🙏
Humility is necessary. Jesus prayer… then let your heart be truthful in the gifts of the Holy Spirit remembering the fruits thereof.
Father Leon the Chapplin for English speaking pilgrims is open and adamant that he believes Luisa was possessed... His take is very interesting and makes me question everything.
Where can I read what Father Leon says? I'd be interested to know his thoughts.
I heard Father Leon say something against LP when I was in Medjugorie recently too. (Im a BIG Father Leon fan. He made such an impression on me) but it occurred to me that even John Vianney didn’t believe the seers of La Salette were telling the truth.
Early on in my reversion back to the church I had a terrible demonic attack and the only thing that stopped it was praying the Rounds of Soul in the Divine Will. There is more to the story but for me it was a personal experience that makes me lean toward believing this is of God.
We went to daily Mass last week and a lady gave us a book about this lady. We saw her this morning and I thank her and told her I haven't read it yet and she said she was very skeptical at first until she experienced it in her life. What a coincidence that I saw this video while browsing for something else!
There are no coincidences 😊
I read a book about Luisa Piccaretta by Suzanne James and I promised myself that, I would visit her tomb at the Church of Saint Mary Greca in Corato, Italy. Well, I recently got to Corato, Italy and made it to the church where she is buried, just before it was closing. A woman in church brought me to her tomb and then after the church closed she was kind enough to bring me to the home where Luisa lived, which was right around the corner. Her home was being renovated and is eventually to be a museum. She pointed out the room where Luisa was bedridden for 60 years living soley on the Eucharist. I was so moved by the whole experience. I kissed the tomb of Luisa and was shown where she lived and was grateful for encountering this woman who made it all happen. She said to me there are no coincidences. Providence, Luisa, wanted our encounter to happen. Luisa Piccarretta pray for us.🙏❤️
What a blessing. Thank you for sharing this ❤️🙏
Glad your experience was so wonderful. Has the miracle of surviving on the Eucharist been proven by our Church? I don’t think so.
My soul melts before you O Lord for your will Lord live in me.
Good morning Father Chris Alar and everyone! Joining from Topeka KS, USA. Welcome Brother Daniel! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this very interesting exchange about the Divine Will devotion. I read and watched several videos (from the official DW channel and Daniel's), and downloaded some materials to study it more seriously. Some of the claims that Luisa makes made me feel uneasy as they sounded a little bit "new agey", e.g., almost saying she is kind of the next Virgin Mary and presenting Luisa as quasi-divinized. I felt very unconfortable going through some of the meditations this devotion proposes, so I'd rather stay away from it. Maybe I am not yet prepared, only God knows. But having such wonderful devotions and teachers from that past as Sta. Teresa, St. Bonaventure, St. Agustin, etc. the Sacred Heart ... I guess I'll stick to those. I would just recommend anyone wondering about the Divine Will devotion to approach it slowly and carefully, to watch their thoughts and preferably to do it under the guidance of an experienced spiritual director. God bless this channel and Fr. Chris. Greetings from Canada.
Prudent advice and well said!
Stay away from it,it's not good
It sounds new agey a lot, not a little bit.
Just give me “that old time religion” because it’s good enough for me! If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Sticking with the tried and true tradition of Holy Mother Church.
Thank you so much for this very insightful teaching.
It is deeply touching to my heart. As not any farther than this morning, in my praying the rosary it was as if a light came upon my understanding, when saying « thy will be done as it is in heaven »…it touched me in a particular way, as if I was starting to grasp the depth of its meaning.
I have been praying for the last 2 weeks a prayer and novena I was lead to by Don Dolindo’s prayer of total abandonment to Jesus ´s will and faith that He has everything under his loving control.
Thank you to you both for this enlightening teaching.
May God bless you and keep you under his loving wings.
( i am french speaking, I sure do hope my writing is clear enough to explain my testimony)
I understand everything you wrote. God prepared you and brought you to this moment 🙏🏻✝️
Your writing is very clear.
Most Sacred Heart ♥️ of Almighty Lord Jesus Christ: I humbly place all my trust in You
🕎 Thank you, Fr Chris, Thank you, Heavenly Almighty Father for your will any my family. Jesus, in your name a except your will. 💖🌹🕊️
I didn’t finish watching. I don’t like this.
If something is good and true nobody should have to try so hard to make it ensemble into it being good and true.
Like the Apostles had to do after the ascension?
The Divine Will movement is New Age wrapped in Catholic lingo. Fr. Terrance Staples ( brother of catholic apologist Tim Staples) , Fr. William Most, and Fr. John Hardon have written about the errors in these writings . Stay clear from the Divine Will movement.
UPDATE: Father James Mawdsley has a 3 part series on his channel
“Scripture and Tradition”.
No, the New Age movement is Satan's counterfeit to what Our Lord Jesus wants to give us in the Divine Will. Be not afraid. Be humble.
Father John Hardon passed some 30 years ago…..
@@francesrosecarmel are you aware this Divine Will movement has been around since mid 1900’s. Fr. Most dies in the year 2000. In a letter to Catholics United for the Faith, Father John A. Hardon, S.J., wrote:
"In my judgment, the underlying premises of Luisa’s writings are not consistent with the magisterial teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. Thus she claims that all we have to do is abandon our own will to the Divine Will, which can be found everywhere. There is an emphasis on complete passivity of the soul in Luisa’s writings. The result is a promotion of Quietism, which was condemned by the Church in the 17th century.
"Luisa’s writings openly promote the idea that she has received a new revelation. The faithful must accept this revelation to achieve the new way of holiness which equated the sanctity of Luisa Piccarreta with the sanctity of the Mother of God.
"According to Luisa, once a person receives this 'new sacrament' of the Divine Will, the human will, in effect, acts in such a way that the action is purely divine. This basic error was taught in the early centuries of Christianity and became a cardinal principle of the absolute predestination of such founders of Protestantism as John Calvin.
"If necessary, I shall be happy to provide further and more detailed analysis of the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. For the present, I will only quote from the formal letter of His Excellency, Andrew J. McDonald, Bishop of Little Rock, Arkansas. He wrote to Father James E. Mancini, 'By this letter, I forbid either the public or the private promotion of the Kingdom of the Divine Will Movement in the Diocese of Little Rock.'" The bishop’s letter was dated November 26, 1997.
@@francesrosecarmelso what if he did ? What does his passing 30 years ago have to do with errors on Luisa Picaretta’s part - can Daniel O’Connor give an account of Luisa saying in her own words that she allowed Jesus to suckle from her breast or that he poured a black liquid into her mouth that she couldn’t swallow during his crucifixion, or that when Jesus was suckling from Luisa’s breast she told Jesus he was suckling too hard and hurting her and she told him this and he looked at her and laughed 🤷🏻♀️ well I’m sorry, that sounds like a demon to me
Watch for yourself - ruclips.net/video/XP5_81wbj98/видео.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
@@francesrosecarmelyou stupid or what? St. Faustina and St. Padre Pio passed away a long time ago. What’s your logic?
I now realize how the phrase in the Our Father Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven how powerful those words are 🙏 especially in the way you expressed it.. Thank You. for this inspirational message. 🙌
Thank you Fr Chris Alar and Daniel O’Connor for this wonderful presentation of the most amazing Gift of all Gifts.
Here in Samoa, there have been many amazing miracles, visions, rays of light, prisms of colours but most importantly a deep, profound love ❤️ for Jesus and Mama and of The Catholic Faith since some of us have started Living this amazing journey in The Divine Will.
FIAT! FIAT! FIAT ❤❤❤
The absolute beauty of this message is breathtaking. Thank you for being faithful to share and spread this truth.
Part of the Homily given at my Mother's funeral by the Monsignor, the Priest, who married my parents was,
"Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.'
and I have often contemplated this mystery and I had not quite grasped the depth of the matter even though concentrating on it until now.
Fascination is immediate upon hearing of this 'Private Revelation' and find it both attractive and terrifying concurrently...
Definitely food for thought, study and prayer...Meditation upon the Joyful Mysteries surrounding the Holy Family this season will
focus upon this very surrendering of the creature's will to unite with that of God. 😲💖🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🎶LA-a-a!!!🎵
I missed you Fr Chris Alar! Welcome back!
😇
Every time I hear Daniel, he convinces me that Lisa's revelations are not worth reading. Among other things, how can she be the worst of sinners if she's bedridden and is united to God's Will. So God's Will makes you a sinner? No, the saints teach that you are capable of sinning but that you don't sin if you are united to His Will.
Words cannot express the joy of my heart to hear publicly expressed the union of Divine Mercy and Divine Will. Since the early 1990's, my father would say that the gift of living Divine Mercy leads to the gift of living the Divine Will. All glory to God, through our Blessed Mama! Come, Lord Jesus!
Our God Is all-giving - ever giving to grow in His Love and knowledge.
By the title of video I thought it was going to be a Talk on Divine Will vs. Permissive
Will, but this is really interesting. I love quotes from St. Faustina's diary. What I've read so far is so beautiful.
Keep reading! This is the New Springtime!
God bless you Rev Father Chris May God bless you 🙏🙏❤️❤️
For the glory of God almighty the only gift I can to God almighty is my will great amen
Another great quote from the Diary of Saint Faustina… where Jesus said in paragraph #1487 “Entrust yourself completely to My will saying, “Not as I want, but according to Your will, O God, let it be done unto me.” These words, spoken from the depths of one’s heart, can raise a soul to the summit of sanctity in a short time.”
Also one of my favorites. 🙏🏻❤️🕊️🕊️😇📿
Catholics have been praying like that for centuries. They didn't need Sr Faustina to tell them ...
Father Chris, my friends and I have learned so much from you and all! I've even told the priests in the confessionals about you! You truly have explained so much about about our Faith!
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
God bless Fr. Chris and the whole world 🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞✝️✝️✝️
Thanks VERY MUCH!!! Will watch as soon as I can...I've been very cautious about this bec tho I stay up on all the private revelations for 25 years & this was brand new to me for about a year. I, years ago found out how easily I can be misled, tho not so easily these many years later. But I'm always worried about this, & truthfully, YOU & The Ntl. Shrine are my constant, trustful, GO TO, to help protect me, I am simply a lay person in love with the FAITHFUL TEACHING of our Holy Catholic Church!!! God bless & love & protect you all there❤🙏🙏
From what I understand Padre Pio read the 24 hours of the Passion
It is a beautiful book and we learn to keep Jesus company during his most agonizing moments. It will make you love Jesus even more.
If I had a penny for every time I heard the words "from what I understand, Padre Pio...", in support of unapproved devotions and apparitions, I would be a very rich man
@@msj5885 FYI They are approved.
I'M SIMON UBAL D'SOUZA THANKS FR.CHRIS FOR FAITH IN YOU LOVE. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST I TRUST FAITH IN YOU LOVE AND BLESSED VIRGIN MARY MOTHER OF JESUS GOD FATHER ALMIGHTY KINGS OF KINGS ALLELUIA AMEN.
Just FYI: In South Korea, the "Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea" just recently realeased a letter and an 11-page statement/report on Oct. 17, 2023, expressing their opinions and deep concerns about Luisa Piccaretta's books(The Book of Heaven). They've stated that there are some serious errors in her books and have decided to "withdraw" all permissions that were given for the publication of the books (translated to Korean). Moreover, they have expressed the need for any prayer groups (in S. Korea) that are centered on Luisa Piccaretta's Divine Will spirituality to be stopped for the good of the Church.
They are very unsettling to me. They don’t sound correct. They are confusing.
Confusing…. There’s your answer.
Seems a bit "off" ..
They banned Padre Pio and St Faustina too!
It is good for the Korean Bishops to be concerned for their local Church, because they have recognized fanaticism as very prevalent in Korea, even before Divine Will Spirituality came in. I would imagine that translation into Korean language is very problematic and would contain many doubtful interpretations, given that the critical edition fron Vatican has not yet come out.
There’s plenty of priests and a mystic from Spain that I personally know who are devotees of the Divine Will. They all live holy lives, daily communion and rosary, spend hours with the Blessed Sacrament. They have beautiful gifts and most importantly, they love thy neighbor with the love of Christ. “By their fruits you’ll will know them”.
Awesome presentation! Thank you for opening our hearts, souls, and minds to this most precious gift of God's knowledge - living in God's Holy and Divine Will.
Omg! You finally able to talk about Luisa Picaretta. I have been following the Divine Will for 4yrs now. I am learning the virtues given by Jesus to Luisa so I can live in his will. By the way Luisa Picaretta was born on Divine Mercy Sunday, check on that. Also the book of Heaven is all scriptures, if you read the book of Heaven it collaborates with the Bible and the book of catechism.
I have been attack the most when I started learning the Divine Will more than anything else. So pray about it with humility which is the other virtues we need to learn to live in his will.
Also the Devotion of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ it mention living the Divine Will, it said let the new Jerusalem come down on earth.
Thank you so much Father Chris for this session. FIAT
Thanks for sharing; I was not aware this Divine Will by Luisa Picaretta. Our cathedral is having Eucharistic Adoration every day now whereas before it was only Wed/Fridays.
To my understanding Luisa was a Jewish convert just like St Theresa Avila and St John of the Cross both Jewish converts to the true Catholic faith as I have been invoking St Theresa Avila and her writings on the gift of prayer in the 7 mansions.
New Israel is the Catholic Church as the New Jerusalem is the heavenly bride the Church the Catholic Church.
Interesting Luisa was born on Divine Mercy Sunday did not St John Paul II die near Divine Mercy Sunday.
Fatima the white square predicted the red square Moscow would attack the white pope in St Peter's square.
St John Paul had an attempted attack who was Polish like St Maria Faustina Kowalska.
Jesus Precious Blood devotions will surely bring not only conversions for sinners but for ourselves too.
God Bless.
Everything I read from Church officials is that there are Not supposed to be public presentations on Luisa.
The Beatification process of Luisa Piccarreta was suspended on January 24, 2024.
Interesting.
Good
Why?
I am shocked by Daniel O’Connor - he must not have read thoroughly the writings of Luisa Picaretta, he couldn’t have- how can he explain her having Jesus suckle from her breast and kissing Jesus on the mouth and receiving black liquid from her mouth to his - just doesn’t bode well with me sorry …. There’s other devotions - I’m staying well clear of this one …. ruclips.net/video/XP5_81wbj98/видео.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
@@francesrosecarmel "On January 24, Bishop Benoît Bertrand of Mende, president of the French bishops' Episcopal Doctrinal Commission, shared a message from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints addressed to the bishops of France. The message conveyed the decision to halt the examination of the case of Luisa Piccarreta, initiated in 1994 by the now deceased Italian Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri of Trani.
Why does the Church reproach this Italian mystic, who has been gaining interest among priests and laypeople in recent years? Bishop Bertrand repeats the arguments put forward by the dicastery, which are of three kinds: theological, Christological, and anthropological. Piccarreta's conception of the divine will "does not leave man the possibility to exercise his free will," it does not incorporate "the primacy of God's merciful and unconditional love," and, finally, there is "little or no mention of the resurrection of Christ," "Christian hope, and ecclesial communion."
Bishop Bertrand, therefore, advises caution regarding the dissemination of Piccarreta's message, echoing the warning of Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, who had asked him in a April 18, 2022 letter, to "accordingly evaluate the popular dissemination of such elements to avoid confusion among believers."

Great talk - thank you, Daniel and Father Chris! God bless!
Strange Doctrines is not good.🙏✝️🌹
Some disturbing things have been found in her writings.
I think there needs to be some serious investigation into the writings. What I heard today was quite disturbing and disgusting
There’s plenty of priests and a mystic from Spain that I personally know who are devotees of the Divine Will. They all live holy lives, daily communion and rosary, spend hours with the Blessed Sacrament. They have beautiful gifts and most importantly, they love thy neighbor with the love of Christ. “By their fruits you’ll will know them”.
I have prayed "Thy will not mine" and "I will to do Thy Will" for years. Nothing wrong with this prayer and I am already devoted to Divine Mercy so I find no call to study up on and follow this servant of God.
the Divine Will is not a devotion like the divine mercy; it is the 3rd era of Sanctification! Creation, Redemption & Sanctification. Don't just stay in the era of Redemption--graduate by studying the Divine Will of God as revealed to Luisa Piccarreta in the Book of Heaven! It is the continuation of the teachings of St Faustnie!
@@aldoemilycarfagna4229 Seems fishy to me - Like saying Jesus didn't do enough or something.
@@aldoemilycarfagna4229 I didn't say the Divine Will was a Devotion - I said I am devoted to Divine Mercy.
@@jeanb.5405EXACTLY. We have all we need, public revelation ended with the death of St John. I’d rather peruse the depths of the scriptures, Church Fathers and writings of canonised saints before giving attention to what is unapproved. Jesus gives us the fullness of His grace through the sacraments and our living in the state of grace. Period.
Second only to the bible, reading the Book of Heaven is unlike any book I’ve ever read. It only has deepened my devotion to Divine Mercy.
Also the 24 hours of the passion and Virgin Mary I the kingdom of the divine will. Amazing works that will deepen the true life of Mary and Jesus in your soul.
For the glory of God almighty everything is in God will
What I can say about will is that my will has mostly gotten me into a lot of trouble, so why not ask for God's will to be infused in me instead. The second is that I'm a chip off the old block and what I mean is that my willful acts are what I saw my earthly father did. On the surface I'm acting upon my will and I am but I'm also channeling what I saw at home growing up. The point is my ultimate Father is the Father in Heaven so why not become a chip off His block. Get it or am I being clear as mud. A lot of what we consider as acting willfully is just auto pilot from what we have observed.
Thank you Father Alar!! Have been waiting for you to discuss Luisa Piccaretta and the Book of Heaven! Would love to hear a discussion between you and Fr Iannuzzi!! Up for consideration? Based on so many comments here, the controversy continues.
Dear FR .Alar, I am wondering did you read Louisa DW book , if so did you not see the error? as presented by FR.Mawsdley .
Being taught the messages in the Book of Heaven, we were told it is a way of life not a Devotion.
Fr Joseph Iannuzi will vouch for this I believe
You are accurate it is absolutely a Gift for these times, NOT a devotion.
Thanks I love it, trying to Evangelise a Priest please pray for me
If there are “difficulties” in there, it’s not for me!
Jesus I trust in you. Thy will be done. I give you my will. Please give me yours. Please give me your mercy in return. Mother Mary, our Queen, pray for me. Amen
Thank you for posting this, it's so simple and profound.
Thank you Father Alar. A Venezuelan wish you the best, Amen 🙏🏻
so timely , Father. Thank you in God’s Will🙏♥️
The Divine Will has changed my life. Thank you my beloved God for this incredible Mercy. If I had known where God was leading me I would have run toward His Will- Peace, Joy, Charity, control over my temper, wisdom- everything my heart has longed for my beloved has given me. It hurts to see the devision among the faithful though.
THANKFUL & GRATEFUL , FR. CONNOR & FR. CHRIS'T FOR EXPLAINING THE DIVINE MERCY & DIVINE WILL , TO GOD BE THE GLORY 🙏🕊️💸🌎🌄😇😇🤞🙏
Pls. pray for us .
Daniel O Connor was at seminary with Fr Chris but he did not go on to become a priest
He is married with a young family.
All the more remarkable that he has time with family commitments and a job to be able to study so much, and write his books as well as lecture. He must find living in the Divine Will is everything he needs to do all God asks of him
Thank you Daniel
AMEN and AMEN 🔥♥️💯
Glory be to God for Father Chris and Daniel O’Conner 🔥God is in charge of Time,🙏Everything,🔥That’s why these two powerful Men are catching so many Fish ,SOULS, !!! Living in the Divine Will is so Glorious to Contemplate💜Absolutely can’t get Better on Earth with this fundamental Truth and Teaching,🔥Trusting in Father God ,Jesus and the Holy Spirit,🔥”Thy Will be done ✅ in my Soul ♥️It’s Freedom to the Soul 🙏
Glory Hallelujah
Hopefully, in the future, we can listen to Professor Daniel O'Connor's complete presentation. Although he seemed rushed, he did offer us many take-away pieces that we can benefit from. I did order his book mentioned "Thy Will Be Done: The Greatest Prayer" hoping that it contains more of what he was presenting.
Great teachings!! The ABC's of Divine Mercy and the 11 words " Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" Your will oh Lord not mine!! ❤❤❤
GRACIAS ⚘️ For 13 years I have been praying with the book The 24 Hours of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ from Luisa Piccarreta; It is the most beautiful book I have ever read in my life. ❤❤❤
I loved this talk. What a treat to see two theological superstars speak on this important topic. I’m almost finished reading THY WILL BE DONE ( I’m giving a few for Christmas gifts) and two points jumped out of the book at me. 1. The Lord’s Prayer, is the most perfect prayer, with its individual petitions, and 2. Living in the Divine Will requires God’s grace, so each day in my morning prayer, I beg for the grace for me and my loved ones to WANT to live in God’s will. I know that there is so much more to it, but I like my Catholicism neat and cozy. So, as with other deep topics, I’ll just wait for the official Church teaching. I just want to achieve holiness, without having to have complicated thinking. How fortunate and blessed are my friends Tanya, Ann and Nancy, who will have attended the Women’s Conference in Albany. Thank you Daniel, ( once again you hit a home run, thinking of your appearances on Living Divine Mercy) and Father Chris, for your thorough preparation for us today. After your talk on April 22, HOW TO DISCERN GOD’S WILL IN YOUR LIFE, and all the amazing things that have happened to me, I love your teaching in one line, I hope I don’t misquote: JUST DO THE WILL OF GOD. God bless you both.
After listening to Frances hogan and others it sounds more like a gnostic sect than a catholic movement. I was attracted and repelled at the same time. I ceased reading and listening and found peace again in my traditional faith and my love for the catechism of the catholic faith and scriptures.
I did use my brain and discerned away from this private devotion not required for salvation.
Like Always.. such a treat to get the just of all this! Great host.
So very good! Thank you, Fr. Chris and Daniel O'Connor. Appreciate this, makes sense!
