"The best way of having Me be
born in one's heart is to empty oneself of everything.
Finding this void in the soul, I can fill it up with all My goods.
...
The second way of having Me be born and increasing my happiness
is, everything that the soul does whether it is internal or external
must be done for Me, to serve me, to honor Me and to follow My orders.
...
The third is love of heroism, love magnified, love of sacrifice."
S.G. Luisa Piccarreta (vol. VIII, Dec. 25 1928) |

"The act of My nativity was the
most solemn act of Creation; Heaven and earth felt overwhelmed
by the most profound adoration at the sight of my little Humanity,
which enclosed my Divinity. Therefore, in the act of my Nativity
there was an act of silent and of profound adoration and prayer."

"I was born once; but this birth
makes Me be reborn continuously. I am reborn in every consecrated host,
I am reborn every time the creature returns to My grace; My first birth
has the virtue of making me be born always."

"How I wish that the human will comes
to an end; I wanted to be born at midnight to split the night of the
human will with the radiant day of My will. Although night does not
end at midnight, it is the beginning of a new day. In order to honor
My birth and to indicate the day of My Will, the angels flew High in
the sky all night long bringing new stars, new suns; in such a way,
that night was turned into more than one day. This was the homage that
the angels gave to My little Humanity, wherein the fullness of the day
of the sun of My Divine Will resides and calls the creature to enter into
the fullness of the day." S.G. Luisa Piccarreta (vol. XX, 1 Jan. 1927) |

"Jesus came forth from within the light
of His Mother, remaining intact and whole, and then returning to their
original state. Who can speak of the beauty of the little child in the
moment of His birth transfusing to Bethlehem, even exteriorly, the rays
of His Divinity? Who can speak of the beauty of the Mother who remains
enraptured by the divine rays?" S.G. Luisa Piccarreta (vol. IV, Dec. 25 1900) |

"My birth in time was the overflowing of
the love of the Most Holy Trinity toward the creatures. In the overflowing
of My Mother's love, I was born from her bosom, and in the overflowing of
love; I am reborn in the souls.
This overflowing is formed by the desire that the soul has for Me. As soon
as the soul begins to desire Me, I am conceived in the soul; the more it
desires Me, the more I grow in the soul. When this desire fills the whole
interior of man to the point of overflowing, then I am reborn in the entire
man. That is, in his mind, in his mouth, in his works, in his steps..."

"When I came to earth, I wanted to show with
My existence how interested I was in man putting an end to his own will. I
wanted to be born at midnight so that I could scatter the darkness of the night
in which man lived and raise the radiant sun of the Divine Will, which was hidden
in my little Humanity." S.G. Luisa Piccarreta (vol. XX, Jan. 1, 1927) |
|
"The soul must reach the point of living
more in Heaven than on earth." S.G. Luisa Piccarreta (Vol. XII, 6 Mar. 1919) |

nothing, the more it is filled with the All."

intention and for the love of God goes forth from the soul full of light."
