Canticle Spiritual Testament of Luisa for Divine Praises

Now I am happier as I die,
said Luisa, before dying,
because the Divine Will has
comforted me more than it usually does.

I see a long, beautiful and open road now,
lit up with an infinite number of shining suns...

Oh, yes, I know them;
they are the suns of my acts done in the Divine Will.

This is the road that I must take now,
it is the road that the Divine Will has prepared for me.

It is the road of my triumph;
it is the road of my glory,
that will take me into the immense happiness of the Divine Will.

It is the road that I will keep for you
and for all those souls that want to live
in the Divine Will.

Glory be to the Father...

Song of Praise for Divine Praises

My sould glorifies the Lord,
and my Spirit is so happy in his Fiat,
which is everything from me;

all because he looked upon my nothingness.
From now on all generations will recognize
his Reigning Fiat in me;

because of the astounding wonders of his love
that the Almighty has worked in me;
and oh, how holy is his Fiat.

From one generation to the next his kingdom
extends itself among those of good will.

He has shown the power of his Fiat,
he has scattered the proud
in the reasoning of their own will.

He has reduced the powerful to nothing,
he has given the power to those who are nothing.

He has filled the little ones with every good thing,
he has sent the learned away, confused.

He has come to the rescue of the Church, his spouse,
remembering his mercy,

Just as he promised he would to the saints, to Luisa,
and to her descendants, forever.

Glory be to the Father...

Song of Thanksgiving for Divine Praises

Blessed is the Lord God, in his Will,
because he has visited his church to glorify her,

and he has opened the doors of his Kingdom to us
in the person of Luisa, his daughter.

Just as he had promised
through all his saints, his prophets and his Son:

to save us from our will,
and from the power of the devil, the world and the flesh.

In doing so, he has shown mercy to the human family
and has remembered the promise of his kingdom:

the promise made by Jesus, our Lord,
in the solemnity of his own prayer,

to glorify him without the fear of the human will,
living in his Will on earth as in heaven.

And you, children, will be called sons of the Most High;
and living in the Divine Will,
you will prepare his entrance into hearts,

to give his Church the knowledge of his Will,
freeing her from the human will.

Thanks to the merciful goodness of our God,
the triumph of the supreme Fiat will come forth
as the sun that rises,

to give life to those who are in the darkness
and the shadow of death of the human will,

and to guide our steps along the eternal ways of his Will.

Glory be to the Father...

Invitatory for Divine Praises

G. Lord, open our lips.

E. And let your Will pray in us and praise.

Ant. Come Divine Will, come to reign in us!

Everyone, let us praise God who is One in Three,
let us bless him, from whom every good thing comes.
Let us fuse ourselves in him to worship him,
love him and glorify him;
and our spirits will be overjoyed in his Fiat. (ant.)

Holy is His Will, and His love flows everywhere.
All creation is enclosed within his heart,
where all generations are in act as well.
Everything receives life from his Fiat,
and by his love it is all bound together. (ant.)

Jesus, Mary and Luisa, all you angels and saints,
and creatures too:
let us worship his supreme Majesty,
humbly before him in the Divine Will.
We have come from his heart,
and it's upon the wings of his Fiat
that we must return. (ant.)

Listen to the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit today;
and pronounce your yes together with Mary
most holy.
Do not harden your heart because Jesus is burning with love. (ant.)

For six thousand years now, our Will is consumed by love,
because it wants to reign in every heart.
Open the doors to the Divine Will, so that it can reign on earth
as it does in heaven. (ant.)

Glory be to the Father... (ant.)

Invocations to the Divine Will to Act in All of our Activities

We are nothing, God is Everything; we love you, Father;
Oh Divine Will, continue:

+ thinking in our minds;

+ flowing in our blood;

+ seeing in our eyes;

+ hearing in our ears;

+ talking in our voices;

+ breathing in our breathing;

+ beating in our hearts;

+ moving in our movements;

+ suffering in our suffering, and since our souls are united to you, let us be your living crucifixes offered in the sacrifice for Father's glory;

+ praying in us, and then by offering this prayer to yourself as ours it will be as if everyone had prayed and will give Father the glory that we should all give him.

Invocation to the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, creator, come
from your bright heavenly throne,
come take possession of our souls
and make them all your own.

You who are called the Paraclee
blest gift of God above,
the living spring, the living fire,
sweet unction and true love.

You who are seven fold in your grace,
finger of God's right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones
to speak and understand.

O guide our minds with your blest light,
with love our hearts inflame;
and with strength, which never decays,
confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our deadly foe;
true peace unto us bring;
and through all perils, lead us safe
beneath your sacred wing.

Through you may we the Father know,
through you the eternal Son,
and you the Spirit of them both,
thrice-blessed Three in One.

All glory to the Father be,
with this co-equal Son;
the same to you, great Paraclete,
while endless ages run. Amen

G. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
E. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray:

O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in his consolation.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
