"Your Faith Anew!"

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY EIGHT December 23, 1900 – Volume 4 Luisa writes: After going through long days of silence between blessed Jesus and me, I felt a void in my interior.

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY SEVEN December 22, 1899 – Volume 3 Luisa writes: This morning my adorable Jesus was not coming.  After much waiting and waiting He made Himself just barely seen several times, like a lightning that flashes by.  But I seemed to see a light rather than Jesus, and in this light, a voice which, the first time it came, said:  “I draw you to love Me in three ways:  by dint o...

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY SIX December 21, 1899 – Volume 3   Luisa writes: After a long silence, this morning my lovable Jesus interrupted it, saying to me: “I am the receptacle of pure souls.” And in these words of His I received intellectual light which made me comprehend many things about purity, but I can repeat little or nothing with words, of that which I feel in my intellect. However, mo...

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY FIVE December 20, 1912 – Volume 11  Luisa writes: It seemed that during these past days my always adorable Jesus wanted to speak about His Holy Will. He came, said a few words and then went away. I remember that once He told me: “My daughter, I feel the obligation to give My virtues, My beauty, My strength to one who lives in My Will - in a word, everything that I am....

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY FOUR December 19, 1926 – Volume 20  Luisa writes: I continue in my state of abandonment in the Supreme Volition, and while I was going around with my mind in the whole Creation, to follow It in all created things and make my will one with Its own, so as to form one single act with Its own, my always lovable Jesus, making me pause, told me:  “My daughter, in issuing the...

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY THREE December 18, 1902 – Volume 4 Luisa writes:  As soon as I found myself in my usual state, blessed Jesus came, but in so much suffering as to arouse compassion.

You will always be ready to suffer what I want,...

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY TWO December 17, 1902 – Volume 4  Luisa writes: This morning, when my adorable Jesus came, I was praying Him to placate Himself, saying to Him: ‘Lord, if I cannot sustain the weight of your Justice by myself, there are so many good souls among whom it can be divided, a little bit each, so that it might be easier to bear the weight, and people might be spared.’ And He:...

NOVENA OF HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY ONE December 16, 1908 – Volume 8 Luisa writes: Going through most bitter days, I was lamenting to Our Lord, saying: ‘How cruelly You have left me!

You have thrown me to the ground, and instead of a little daughter, I see that You have changed me into a litt...

December 15, 1902 – Volume 4  Luisa writes: “Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my adorable Jesus, cast to the ground, crucified, everyone trampling upon Him.

December 14, 1911 – Volume 10   Luisa writes: “I continue my most bitter days, though resigned to the Will of God. My always lovable Jesus, if He makes Himself seen, is always afflicted and taciturn; it seems He no longer wants to pay attention to me in anything.

December 13, 1928 – Volume 25 Luisa writes: “I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and as I accompanied Its acts done in the Creation, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: ‘My daughter, all created things were created by Us with a dose of happiness, one distinct from the other; so, each created thing brings to man the kiss, the air that delights, the life of Our Happiness. Bu...

December 12, 1905 – Volume 6  Luisa writes: “Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me: ‘My daughter, when the creature does good, a light starts from her which goes to the Creator, and this light gives glory to the Creator of light, and embellishes the soul with a divine beauty.’ Then I saw the confessor taking the book written by me in order to read it, and t...

Luisa writes: “In a Novena for Holy Christmas, at about the age of seventeen, I prepared myself for this festivity with the practice of different acts of virtue and mortification. For the special purpose of honoring the nine months that Jesus was in the virginal womb, I proposed, therefore, to make nine hours of meditation a day, always concerning the Mystery of the Incarnation.”                  ...

December 10, 1903 – Volume 6  Luisa writes, “Continuing in my usual state, I felt a weight over my soul, as if the whole world weighed upon me because of the privation of blessed Jesus; and in my immense bitterness I did as much as I could to look for Him.

December 9, 1902 – Volume 4   Luisa writes: As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself together with Jesus Christ, as though nailed with Him; and since I suffered, I was silent. In the meantime I saw the confessor with my guardian Angel, and the confessor said to him: “This poor one is in great suffering, to the point that she cannot speak. Give her a little bit of respite, for w...

December 8, 1923 – Volume 16  Luisa writes: I was thinking about the Immaculate Conception of my Queen Mama, and after I received Holy Communion, my always adorable Jesus made Himself seen in my interior, as though inside a room filled with light.

December 8, 1902 – Volume 4  Luisa writes: This morning my adorable Jesus came and told me: “My daughter, today I want to keep you suspended without letting you suffer.” I began to fear and to lament to Him, and He added: “Do not fear, I will be with you. Rather, when you occupy the state of victim you are exposed to Justice, and in addition to the other sufferings, many times you have to suffer m...

December 7, 1902 – Volume 4 Luisa writes: As I was in my usual state, I found myself amid most thick darkness. In it there were thousands of people whom that darkness rendered blind, to the point that they themselves could not understand what they were doing. It seemed it was part of Italy and part of France. Oh, how many errors could be seen in France – worse than those of Italy! It seemed that t...

December 6, 1904 – Volume 6 Luisa writes:  “As I continued struggling, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and I saw myself as naked, stripped of everything – perhaps a soul more miserable than I am cannot be found, so extreme is my misery. What a dismal change! If the Lord does not make a new miracle of His omnipotence to make me rise again from this state, I will certainly die of misery. Then...

December 5, 1902 – Volume 4  Luisa writes:  As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus shared His pains with me, and as I was suffering I saw a woman crying her heart out, and saying: “The kings have joined together, and the peoples perish; and not seeing themselves being helped, protected, but rather, stripped, they get lost, and kings without peoples cannot exist. But what makes me cry the most i...

December 4, 1902 – Volume 4  Luisa writes:  I was thinking in my mind about this obedience, saying: ‘They are right in commanding me this way; besides, it is not such a great thing that the Lord would allow me to obey in the way wanted by them. So they say: either He should let you obey, or He should tell the reason why He wants the confessor to come to make you come round from that state.’ While...

December 3, 1900 – Volume 4  Luisa writes: This morning, as I was outside of myself, I found myself with Baby Jesus in my arms; and while I delighted in looking at Him, I don’t know how, from the same Baby a second came out, and after a few instants, a third Baby, both of Them similar to the first, though distinct among Themselves. Stupefied in looking at this, I said: “Oh, how one can touch with...

December 2, 1899 – Volume 3 Luisa writes,  “As I was very afflicted about certain things, which it is not licit here to say, lovable Jesus, wanting to relieve me from my affliction, came with an appearance all new. He seemed to be dressed in pale blue, all adorned with tiny little bells of gold which, in touching one another, resounded with a sound never before heard. At the appearance of Jesus an...

December 1, 1922 – Volume 15 Luisa writes,  “I was thinking about the Passion of my sweet Jesus, and I felt those pains so close to me, as if He were suffering them at that very moment; and looking at me, He told me:  “My daughter, I suffered all pains in My Will, and as I suffered them, they opened many ways in My Will to reach each creature.  Had I not suffered in My Will, which envelops everyth...

November 30, 1899 = Volume 3  Luisa writes:    My adorable Jesus continues to come, and this time I saw Him in the act in which He was at the pillar. Untying Himself, Jesus threw Himself into my arms to be compassionated by me; I clasped Him to myself, and began to arrange His hair, all clotted with blood, and to dry His eyes and face, and I also kissed Him and did several acts of reparation.    W...
