Divine Will Priests

V23 – 1.18.28 – Jesus to Luisa:

“Now, what I Manifest on My Divine Will, and that you write, can be called

‘The Gospel of the Kingdom of the Divine Will.’

…And this is why I Allow and I Call Priests to come—to read the Gospel,

All of Heaven, of the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat,

so as to say, as I said to the Apostles:

‘Preach It throughout the whole world.’”

Please also consider what Our Lord Jesus Says in the Book of Heaven to His Clergy:

“The Role of the Priests in the Kingdom of the Divine Will”:

Role of the Priests in the Kingdom of the Divine Will - Divinewill.life

V16 – 2.10.24 - Our Lord said to Luisa: “I feel Compassion for you, Luisa, because you do not see what I, Jesus See, and therefore you take it lightly.

But in My All-Seeingness, I See that these Writings shall be for My Church like a New Sun that shall Rise in Her midst; and Drawn by Its Blazing Light, creatures shall apply themselves in order to be Transformed into this Light and become Spiritualized and

Divinized, in such a way that, as the Church shall be Renewed, they shall Transform the face of the earth. The Doctrine on My Divine Will is the Purest, the Most Beautiful, not subject to any shadow of the material or of interest, both in the Supernatural and in the natural order..."

V25 – 1.13.29 – “…for the Kingdom of My Divine Fiat, having placed in you Luisa, (the deposit of the Third Fiat), I Jesus keep you, Luisa, in the exile still, so that the Priests might draw from you, Luisa, as from a new mother, what can serve as Light, as Guidance, as Help, to give start to making known the Kingdom of My Divine Will. And as I see the Priest's little interest—if you knew how much I, Jesus, Suffer… Therefore, pray, pray!"
