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.
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!!!
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.
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…
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 th-cam.com/video/XP5_81wbj98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
"I have not come to bring peace, but a sword" people cause these confusions and slander, not God. Creature means created being. All of us are creatures, that is the definition of the word-we are created. You're reading the word creature through a distorted American lens, creature is not a bad word.
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.
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 .
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 TH-cam. 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 🙏
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 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.
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
Those things were once not approved- nothing is Church approved unless it is first noticed and followed by Catholics. Luisa and her writings have vast Church approval.
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!
@@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 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 !!!
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!
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.
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. 🙏🙏
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.🙏❤️
@@aislinndeweston4140What really bothers me is that Daniel (who I think is genuinely a good guy committed to the truth) essentially has made it clear that anyone opposed to this devotion is diabolically affected. This just does not pass the sniff test for me. Couple that with the passages that Father Mawdsley read....*shivers* feels BAD to me.
@batboy49 I got a rosary clutcher for you. I have a long term very deep knowledge of the Occult and people who are possessed deliberately. Demons love to point out the flaws and sins of humans. How many defenders of The Saints acted this way? Why is everything surrounding? Sister Wilhelmina in missouri so very calm and peaceful? There are signs when we are interacting with a demon or someone who is infested or compromised by a demon. The old expression,beady eyes Referred to the fact that the more deeply compromised by the dark side a person was the door for their eyes were. Even in pale blue eyed people there would be like a shadow. Another one Wow what Slick greasy or something to that effect person. That's the slippery slope to hell that the person is on showing on their face. We can really tell a lot when we look at a person.I think this modernism of oh don't judge a book by its cover is a little bit misleading.
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 !! 🙏❤️
I just listened to this in order to hear Daniel and of course, Fr. Alar. I would highly suggest future listeners go to Fr. James Mawdsley’s three part review of this devotion, which reveals, I think more specifically, the significant problems with it. I admire Daniel’s enthusiasm and do agree with him on other subjects, however I would never embrace this movement because of the many errors it contains. Fr. Mawdsley’s channel is Scripture and Tradition. May God bless us all and help us discern His Divine Will.
@@mariano2694 because he gives a very intricate and proper explanation of Luisa’s ‘visions’ and whether you like Fr Maudsley or not all you have to do is actually listen or read to what Luisa Picaretta said about Jesus sucking from her breast etc and it’s enough to make up your own mind that these locutions DIDN’T come from the Lord
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 🙌 .
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
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.
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
@@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.
Father Chris , I am so surprised you are giving up your time with this!! I agree with you whole heartley with St Faustina, I love St Faustina!! 🙏🙏🙏✝️🌹💗 Don't fall to false doctrines !!!
I have been praying with the DM channel for over two years, waking up before 3 am every day (Korean Time) for the Divine Mercy prayer, and the following Holy Rosary a couple of hours later. When the topic of this LP cult was announced I was speechless at first but waited for spiritual guidance and clarity, but ended up with deep disappointment. I even recommended this TH-cam channel to my niece (born/raised as a West Coast girl in SF, recently relocated to the East Coast for her education at Johns Hopkins Univ.). Too much talk (fervent spreading of information) and less praying is the real problem. We must humbly remain silent and pray for God's words to come to us instead of seeking any human praise, which is nothing compared to Our Lord.
I’m surprised,too. It must be his friendship and offering an opportunity to his friend; this disturbs me because it’s so controversial and the video is misleading.
I love St. Faustian and Divine Mercy too. The Divine Will devotion is a nonsense. But we need to give Father Alar a benefit of a doubt. I’m sure he gave this time to his friend because he himself didn’t understand that nonsensical devotion. Also he is kind and let’s not forget that at the time of this video, Louisa was a candidate for a sainthood. And priests these days have so much to do that it’s impossible for them to dive deeply into everything. I’m sure with time he will invite a speaker who will point out the errors of this “devotion “.
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”.
@@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 - th-cam.com/video/XP5_81wbj98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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
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!
@@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 😊
Oh, Prof Daniel O’Connor, I could listen to your statements of Luisa all day, I have read the CROWN OF SANCTITY on the Revelations of Jesus to Luisa Piccarretta. Thanks to you❤
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.
@@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!
I just turned the video on and my wife after hearing your voice said "I feel such comfort when I hear Fr. Chris Alars voice" lol so do I. God bless you Fr. Chris and please pray for me and my family. We are going through some big financial issues and I hate to say it but I am feeling hopeless.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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"
@@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..
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
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!
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.
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.
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)
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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!
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.
I AM so extatic!! When I opend You tube and this showed up, I follow Daniel, and Father Chris, also Father Blout, This is so beautiful for me to SEE them both, God is SO on work here, I can Say anout Divine Will is that I used to think they were cucu, and Even thought they were a sect. It took me 2 years to start understanding Divine Will, It is a great gift for us. I AM so SO happy Fr. Chris has intoduced Divine Will in His talks. God is at work!!!!!!!
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!!!🎵
As we grow in accepting Gods Will, we will be purified. Saints are often hidden, quiet and not noticed. God is a creator and when we realize our Nothingness, He can work. I am reading and rereading the Book of Heaven. Thankyou Luisafor saying fiat and thankyou Holy Trinity for the great gift.
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
I was writing a letter to my grandson for a retreat in preparation for his Confirmation. I was excited! After writing 4 letters one longer than the prior sharing. I could have kept it up I finally shortened it. Amen S.D.G.
The divine will is real I’ve experienced this for a period of months the love for my neighbors was not mine every person softened around me it was the most beautiful feeling. This happened after losing a young child from a situation of adultery in my marriage. Being consumed by pain and surrendering to Jesus. I’d stay busy 24/7 doing hours of guided meditation to feel love in my heart anything to replace the hurting and after being very still from meditation and searching my soul going through every emotion of what’s real what’s not and begging God to do whatever it takes to protect my daughter even if it’s not what I want and if it hurts me I know he knows what’s right to please use me to do what’s right not what I want..I’d be overtaken with light and mercy for others who I 100% did not like previously. I felt their pains and saw that we’re all the same and chose to see the shining souls and loved each soul it was so beautiful in the most horrible time of my life. I hope we all surrender fully without tragedy and before it strikes. I didn’t need a bible he’s present everywhere. I didn’t know this was out of the ordinary until I looked into converting this month. You must hurt your hurts and let him pick you up. there is nothing better than his presence. We really are not worthy. It’s beautiful to hear about but this much reading is not necessary. You will scare the worst souls softly and you’re able to open his heart in you to take their suffering and replace it with divine love. This was many people’s first interaction with Jesus and all I wanted was a net gain of followers through my example. Give up your pain or be around a person you feel has divine will and it will be given to you by him. So beautiful. God bless you ❤I can’t wait to find an Rcia class in Illinois so this mercy persists. I recently crave Mary and excited to praise with others who truly love her!! There’s so much more to this experience! For context I was raised Presbyterian and met Jesus when I was 7. Thank you❤ Lela.heppe@gmail meditation on his love is powerful
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. 🙏🏻❤️🕊️🕊️😇📿
I teach catechism and have introduced this prayer at the start of each class from grades first to seven. “ dear God please make me want for myself what you want for me”. I’m encouraging my children to recite this with their children at bedtime. We need to get as many onboard with this as soon as possible and the early years are the best beginning. 56:5356:53
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.
Astounding... everything into prospective...God is number # 1. Don't ever forget to Love God...and love yourself for the love of God. Jesus, Mary and Joseph gave their Fiat, and stuck to it. We need to stick to our Fiat...Love God #1, First.
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 Fr. Chris Alar and DanielO'CONNOR🙏🙂. We were waiting for this talk. People really need to know about the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ, about Luisa Piccarreta and all the other prayers like the ROUNDS. My two children and I are praying these HOURS for about 3 years now and it changed our lives. I really recommend everyone from the heart to start praying the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ by Luisa Piccarreta. These prayers are powerful for our times and give us so much hope for the future. Divine Mercy and the Divine Will are the most important messages for our times. May God bless everyone 🙏 Jesus I Trust in You
Thank you Dr. O’Connor. You have explained the Divine Will so well. I have had Louisa’s writings for many years but felt to follow was too difficult I will bring out the books and read them again. Blessings to you, your family and Fr. Alar. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pray and READ! The Holy Spirit will guide you. Fr. Robert Young has podcasts that will guide you! He suggested starting with Volume 12 and his podcasts actually read the writings and comment on them!
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❤🙏🙏
Thank you Father Chris for this video. A lovely lady I know introduced me to the book of Heaven. But I have been troubled after reading Luisa’s works, especially The 24 Hours of the Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I talked to my Parish Priest about this and and he told me I was not to read it. I feel much more at peace now Father Chris after listening to you. Thank you.
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. 🙌
Book of Heaven, Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will and the 24 Hour of Passion of Christ, wow! All works in the Divine Will deepened my understanding of the message of Christ’s Passion & love for us, my commitment to our Catholic Church & its teachings and way farther the Holy Spirit leading me, teaching me. Everything is God’s love, His Divine Will, His Grace. Otherwise, we’re all goners.
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.
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.
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
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…

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 th-cam.com/video/XP5_81wbj98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=24MKcjSQrWsdbfQI
"I have not come to bring peace, but a sword" people cause these confusions and slander, not God. Creature means created being. All of us are creatures, that is the definition of the word-we are created. You're reading the word creature through a distorted American lens, creature is not a bad word.
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.
Our BLESSED MOTHER LIVED TOTALLY IN THE DIVINE WILL. Please ask Her for help in offering your will to HIS WILL❤️
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 TH-cam. 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’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.
I am nothing and God is all. Come Divine Will.
Love God and your neighbors, that is Divine will !
Mother, thank you for the gift of your Son. Jesus, thank You for the gift of Your holy Mother!
Daniel, Ottawa here.. you were our speaker.. at ourSpiritual Motherhood of Priest’s conference. God BLESS you and Fr. Chris. Thank you. ❤️🙏😊🇨🇦
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.
Those things were once not approved- nothing is Church approved unless it is first noticed and followed by Catholics. Luisa and her writings have vast Church approval.
Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus I consecrate my heart to 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 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…
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.

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."
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.
I am more than sceptical. Father Mawdsley's presentation makes me very reticent to accept the validity of this private revelation.
Fr. Mawdsley is wrong, plus, he’s a radical.
This whole thing kind of creeps me oh so I'm right there with you I'm way more than skeptical
@@aislinndeweston4140What really bothers me is that Daniel (who I think is genuinely a good guy committed to the truth) essentially has made it clear that anyone opposed to this devotion is diabolically affected. This just does not pass the sniff test for me. Couple that with the passages that Father Mawdsley read....*shivers* feels BAD to me.
@batboy49 I got a rosary clutcher for you. I have a long term very deep knowledge of the Occult and people who are possessed deliberately. Demons love to point out the flaws and sins of humans. How many defenders of The Saints acted this way? Why is everything surrounding? Sister Wilhelmina in missouri so very calm and peaceful? There are signs when we are interacting with a demon or someone who is infested or compromised by a demon. The old expression,beady eyes Referred to the fact that the more deeply compromised by the dark side a person was the door for their eyes were. Even in pale blue eyed people there would be like a shadow. Another one Wow what Slick greasy or something to that effect person. That's the slippery slope to hell that the person is on showing on their face. We can really tell a lot when we look at a person.I think this modernism of oh don't judge a book by its cover is a little bit misleading.
I’m with you
I have trouble cancelling out my own will, but I trust Jesus.
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❤
I just listened to this in order to hear Daniel and of course, Fr. Alar. I would highly suggest future listeners go to Fr. James Mawdsley’s three part review of this devotion, which reveals, I think more specifically, the significant problems with it.
I admire Daniel’s enthusiasm and do agree with him on other subjects, however I would never embrace this movement because of the many errors it contains. Fr. Mawdsley’s channel is Scripture and Tradition.
May God bless us all and help us discern His Divine Will.
Divine Will is not a devotion.
I'm praying for Fr. Mawdsley and his followers. They are all so legalistic.
Fr. Mawdsley was expelled from his community !! Why should we listen to him??
@@gail-c4u watch Ft Mawdsleys video video then pray for yourself if you still agree with the ‘visions’ of Luisa Picaretta
@@mariano2694 because he gives a very intricate and proper explanation of Luisa’s ‘visions’ and whether you like Fr Maudsley or not all you have to do is actually listen or read to what Luisa Picaretta said about Jesus sucking from her breast etc and it’s enough to make up your own mind that these locutions DIDN’T come from the Lord
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!!❤️❤️🙏🙏
May God’s Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
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 🙌 .
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!
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.
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.
Blessed Mother, help me to bring death to my will, and the grace to live in the Divine Will, now and forever!
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 TH-cam 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.
JESUS I TRUST IN YOU
Father Chris , I am so surprised you are giving up your time with this!!
I agree with you whole heartley with St Faustina, I love St Faustina!! 🙏🙏🙏✝️🌹💗
Don't fall to false doctrines !!!
I have been praying with the DM channel for over two years, waking up before 3 am every day (Korean Time) for the Divine Mercy prayer, and the following Holy Rosary a couple of hours later. When the topic of this LP cult was announced I was speechless at first but waited for spiritual guidance and clarity, but ended up with deep disappointment. I even recommended this TH-cam channel to my niece (born/raised as a West Coast girl in SF, recently relocated to the East Coast for her education at Johns Hopkins Univ.). Too much talk (fervent spreading of information) and less praying is the real problem. We must humbly remain silent and pray for God's words to come to us instead of seeking any human praise, which is nothing compared to Our Lord.
I’m surprised,too. It must be his friendship and offering an opportunity to his friend; this disturbs me because it’s so controversial and the video is misleading.
I love St. Faustian and Divine Mercy too. The Divine Will devotion is a nonsense. But we need to give Father Alar a benefit of a doubt. I’m sure he gave this time to his friend because he himself didn’t understand that nonsensical devotion. Also he is kind and let’s not forget that at the time of this video, Louisa was a candidate for a sainthood. And priests these days have so much to do that it’s impossible for them to dive deeply into everything. I’m sure with time he will invite a speaker who will point out the errors of this “devotion “.
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

@@francesrosecarmelyou stupid or what? St. Faustina and St. Padre Pio passed away a long time ago. What’s your logic?
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
Amazing, I have been praying and studying Living in The Divine Will for maybe 20 years. Fiat and thank you. David from TX.
John the baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
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.
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
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

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
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 .
Oh, Prof Daniel O’Connor, I could listen to your statements of Luisa all day, I have read the CROWN OF SANCTITY on the Revelations of Jesus to Luisa Piccarretta.
Thanks to you❤
fiat!! let us all live the Divine Will. Heaven on earth! fiat! thank you fr chris for your courage. you will love living in the Divine Will❤️🔥
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?
I just turned the video on and my wife after hearing your voice said "I feel such comfort when I hear Fr. Chris Alars voice" lol so do I. God bless you Fr. Chris and please pray for me and my family. We are going through some big financial issues and I hate to say it but I am feeling hopeless.

@@kathleenodonnell8355 thank you! God bless ♥️✝️🙏
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🙌

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.

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.
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.”
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.
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!
Great talk by Daniel! Always love listening and learning from him!🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.

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”.
I missed you Fr Chris Alar! Welcome back!
😇
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.

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.

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.

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 😊
🕎 Thank you, Fr Chris, Thank you, Heavenly Almighty Father for your will any my family. Jesus, in your name a except your 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.
I AM so extatic!! When I opend You tube and this showed up, I follow Daniel, and Father Chris, also Father Blout, This is so beautiful for me to SEE them both, God is SO on work here, I can Say anout Divine Will is that I used to think they were cucu, and Even thought they were a sect. It took me 2 years to start understanding Divine Will, It is a great gift for us. I AM so SO happy Fr. Chris has intoduced Divine Will in His talks. God is at work!!!!!!!
Greg Dunne’s Divine Will conversion story is phenomenal. The Lord chooses the the humble and pours many graces in His chosen. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️
Our God Is all-giving - ever giving to grow in His Love and knowledge.
Pray for peace…Dearest Mother…Mother of All…who made me perfect from my first breath..keep me safe in your most loving immaculate heart forever….ss
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!!!🎵
As we grow in accepting Gods Will, we will be purified. Saints are often hidden, quiet and not noticed. God is a creator and when we realize our Nothingness, He can work. I am reading and rereading the Book of Heaven. Thankyou Luisafor saying fiat and thankyou Holy Trinity for the great gift.
Praise God for this great gift for His children.
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!! ❤❤❤
God bless you Rev Father Chris May God bless you 🙏🙏❤️❤️
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.
Good morning Father Chris Alar and everyone! Joining from Topeka KS, USA. Welcome Brother Daniel! 🙏🙏🙏
I was writing a letter to my grandson for a retreat in preparation for his Confirmation. I was excited! After writing 4 letters one longer than the prior sharing. I could have kept it up I finally shortened it. Amen S.D.G.
If there are “difficulties” in there, it’s not for me!
The divine will is real I’ve experienced this for a period of months the love for my neighbors was not mine every person softened around me it was the most beautiful feeling. This happened after losing a young child from a situation of adultery in my marriage. Being consumed by pain and surrendering to Jesus. I’d stay busy 24/7 doing hours of guided meditation to feel love in my heart anything to replace the hurting and after being very still from meditation and searching my soul going through every emotion of what’s real what’s not and begging God to do whatever it takes to protect my daughter even if it’s not what I want and if it hurts me I know he knows what’s right to please use me to do what’s right not what I want..I’d be overtaken with light and mercy for others who I 100% did not like previously. I felt their pains and saw that we’re all the same and chose to see the shining souls and loved each soul it was so beautiful in the most horrible time of my life. I hope we all surrender fully without tragedy and before it strikes. I didn’t need a bible he’s present everywhere. I didn’t know this was out of the ordinary until I looked into converting this month. You must hurt your hurts and let him pick you up. there is nothing better than his presence. We really are not worthy. It’s beautiful to hear about but this much reading is not necessary. You will scare the worst souls softly and you’re able to open his heart in you to take their suffering and replace it with divine love. This was many people’s first interaction with Jesus and all I wanted was a net gain of followers through my example. Give up your pain or be around a person you feel has divine will and it will be given to you by him. So beautiful. God bless you ❤I can’t wait to find an Rcia class in Illinois so this mercy persists. I recently crave Mary and excited to praise with others who truly love her!! There’s so much more to this experience! For context I was raised Presbyterian and met Jesus when I was 7. Thank you❤ Lela.heppe@gmail meditation on his love is powerful
For the glory of God almighty everything is in God will
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 ...
I teach catechism and have introduced this prayer at the start of each class from grades first to seven.
“ dear God please make me want for myself what you want for me”. I’m encouraging my children to recite this with their children at bedtime. We need to get as many onboard with this as soon as possible and the early years are the best beginning. 56:53 56:53
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.
Astounding... everything into prospective...God is number # 1. Don't ever forget to Love God...and love yourself for the love of God. Jesus, Mary and Joseph gave their Fiat, and stuck to it. We need to stick to our Fiat...Love God #1, First.
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
Thank you Fr. Chris Alar and DanielO'CONNOR🙏🙂. We were waiting for this talk. People really need to know about the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ, about Luisa Piccarreta and all the other prayers like the ROUNDS. My two children and I are praying these HOURS for about 3 years now and it changed our lives.
I really recommend everyone from the heart to start praying the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ by Luisa Piccarreta. These prayers are powerful for our times and give us so much hope for the future. Divine Mercy and the Divine Will are the most important messages for our times.
May God bless everyone 🙏
Jesus I Trust in You
Thank You 🙏
Thank you Dr. O’Connor. You have explained the Divine Will so well. I have had Louisa’s writings for many years but felt to follow was too difficult I will bring out the books and read them again. Blessings to you, your family and Fr. Alar. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pray and READ! The Holy Spirit will guide you. Fr. Robert Young has podcasts that will guide you! He suggested starting with Volume 12 and his podcasts actually read the writings and comment on them!
Please start with the 24 HOURS of the PASSIONS of our Lord Jesus Christ ❤
I also recommend Fiat Luisa, ytube channel and the Divine Will Era 🙏
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❤🙏🙏
Thank you Father Chris for this video. A lovely lady I know introduced me to the book of Heaven. But I have been troubled after reading Luisa’s works, especially The 24 Hours of the Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I talked to my Parish Priest about this and and he told me I was not to read it. I feel much more at peace now Father Chris after listening to you. Thank you.
Daniel you are so great. God Bless Thank you Fr .Chris for having Daniel on. God Bless both
You too!
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. 🙌
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
Tha k you Fr. Alar and Daniel O’Connor……Adveniat Regnum Tuuam
I don’t know but in recent weeks I have been led to the Divine will. I think we should really listen to what God has to say to us
Book of Heaven, Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will and the 24 Hour of Passion of Christ, wow! All works in the Divine Will deepened my understanding of the message of Christ’s Passion & love for us, my commitment to our Catholic Church & its teachings and way farther the Holy Spirit leading me, teaching me. Everything is God’s love, His Divine Will, His Grace. Otherwise, we’re all goners.
