Luisa Piccarreta, a life for God.

The servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, by Jesus called “The little daughter of the Divine Will”

The writings by Luisa Piccarreta are not a fruit from the bright pen of a woman writer, but are due to her obedience to Church, under the authority of her Confessors, among whom Saint Hannibal Mary DI FRANCIA. They are not, therefore, easy mystical literature by someone wishing to publicize her presumed visions or supernatural revelations; they are a painful testimony of a life crucified for love in long years in bed, lived by Luisa as a victim, in prayer and silence, hiding and obeying.

And it’s only obedienced that forced Luisa to write, even against her own will. Therefore the 36 volumes of her diary were not written by a writer’s culture or art, nor by her wish to let the others know her revelations or visions, nor by a false and dangerous mysticism, but by “Lady Obedience”!

Her writings show and offer us all her pains and love for Jesus, and the Gift of gifts, the supreme Gift of God’s Will, of God’s life to become His children’s life (the Kingdom of God, invoked by the Church and for which the Church is getting ready: the Divine Will to be the same on earth as it is in the Sky); but all this is received by us through Luisa’s life.
