a soul gives It full liberty to act and does not interrupt Its
work with his human will...

WRITINGS

On the mystical character of her writings

These times are abundant with all kinds of manifestations which we need to discern, whether they come from God or not. However, we would like to clarify, that the Writings of Luisa Piccarreta do not speak of this type of imaginative manifestations, but of the more reliable type, like those of Saint Theresa of Avila and Saint Catherine of Siena... 


Introduction to her writings

“Therefore, in view of the Divine Will that is manifested here which has so many times equally manifested Itself, I, in the name of Jesus and by the authority that has been conferred to me by your Ecclesiastic Superior, give you the absolute and energetic Obedience that, day by day, night by night, time after time, you write accurately totally everything that happens between you and Jesus; even the most intimate things. Note well that not only the words that Jesus says to you must be written exactly, but also the infused lights, including everything that He makes you understand even without words...”

... “If you were to neglect writing anything at all, it will be a serious sin, due to lack of Obedience.” (Letter of St. Hannibal Maria Di Francia to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta)
