The revelations on the Divine Will are sublime.... The doctrine seems sublime and divine! Messina 20-6-1924
.... In my current morning meditations – he writes –
besides the Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I am
carefully reading and meditating on two or three chapters of your
writings on the Divine Will, and the impressions I get are intimate
and profound. I see a sublime and divine science in them, although
I have not yet been able to penetrate them thoroughly, for my lack
of intelligence. ... Canon Hannibal Maria Di Francia

My thought is that the first print should be done in Oria, and that afterwards the whole printing should pass to Messina, where I reside, under my own eyes. In the meantime, continue the 15th in black, in which You started to write what happened to you during your infancy, childhood and youth. Write everything. Write also a faithful and complete narration of the illness - that is, your being bedridden; when it was, how it happened, in what year, the oppositions of the Bishops, of the Confessors, etc., etc. Also, in Volume 19 write everything – everything that Our Lord reveals, even tiny things in passing. Everything for Holy Obedience, great Lady, for the Glory of God, for your mortification and for the good of souls. Be careful not to distort or hide anything! Canon Hannibal Maria Di Francia

... As far as myself, I feel a great Divine assistance for penetrating into the spirit of these writings and coordinating them for the purposes of the Divine Will. Surely, Our Lord can infuse this intellect in whomever He wants, I being unworthy of a Mission so holy! Fiat Voluntad Tua, Domine! Canon Hannibal Maria Di Francia Oria 15-10-1926
His Excellency, the Archbishop of Trani, has given me authority over you regarding your writings and their publication, in other words, to direct you and to see to the publication of your writings. These faculties cover everything you have written up to this point, and all that you write in the future. The Archbishop was pleased to put so much trust in me for this work – which is something that Jesus himself has disposed- that he named me Ecclesiastic Reviewer for all the publications of his three dioceses. He even went so far as to get involved himself, by giving his authoritative Imprimatur after my Nihil Obstat. ... Canon Hannibal Mary Di Francia

Yours in Jesus Christ. Father Mary Hannibal The Writer of this letter dictated by Rev. Father, Sister M. Gesuele of the Most Holy Redeemer, implores your prayers and will keep the secret! P.S. The publication of the entire work, with the printing, will be of about 25 thousand copies. Moreover, since the work will be thick, because it is the Divine Word speaking, and this is substantial Word of the Eternal Father, you can understand well how great the expense will have to be. Nevertheless, the Great Divine Treasurer certainly does not lack the means, even if it should cost a million. Besides, the books will be sold quickly, maybe more than the Hours of the Passion, and the money spent will return, and maybe even more. Praised be Jesus and Mary! Messina 24-1-1927
I received your letter, and I tell you that you still do not have the obedience to leave this world. You will have the obedience in the Divine Will, when the Divine Incarnate Word, most sweet Jesus, has completed His Revelations, which, how much longer will last, we do not know. Let me know whether during this period of your fever the revelations have continued, or have been suspended; and whether you are writing as usual, or not. As far as your fever goes, take a hot tisane of chamomile flowers for a few nights. If you want, and if it seems appropriate to you, you may also call a doctor. For this, do as Father Calvi tells you. For myself, I let you know that I am not in good health. I feel my strength exhausting, and I spend some nights sleepless. ... Canon Hannibal Maria Di Francia
Messina 14-2-1927 + Necessary letter ...
This enterprise is great not only because of everything that I told you, but consider that it is about 25 thousand copies of the Whole Work, of all the volumes, present and future; therefore it is an enterprise of millions of lira. Those dear young men of mine in Oria, he typographers, are working with great affection and great care; and I assure you that the edition presents itself as very beautiful, and I hope to send you a sample soon. ... Canon Hannibal Maria Di Francia Messina, 5-5-927
Dearest one in the Lord, All of my troubles start from one point: great lack of breath, day and night. This lack, then, comes from the pleurisy, which affected my left lung. If it weren’t for this, I would recover in a few days. The doctors cannot cure this trouble. This is why I prayed you to ask for a miracle from Our Lord. Once you made one by resurrecting a young man who had been murdered. If Jesus wants, let Him give you the power to heal me, and I will soon come to visit you in Corato. Remember what is written in the Psalms, “God does the will of those who fear Him”. As for me, I am reduced to extremes. The letter you sent me arrived a few hours after I had written
to Jesus, and I took it as an answer. It comforted me immensely,
but it was the prelude of new troubles. However, your speaking
is holy, just and perfect. Only, it would be good for me (I say
it in my ignorance) if you were more resolute, in a saintly way,
with Our Lord. Forgive me, and I bless you as usual. Yours in Jesus C. Servant M. Hannibal Di Francia (1) (1) Last letter written by Fr. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, who died 26 days later on June 1, 1927. |

earest
one in the Lord,
now
that I no longer occupy myself with almost anything of the other
things of my Institutes, since I dedicated myself completely to
the great Work of the Divine Will. I talk about it with people
of spirit; I engage in conversation about this topic with whomever
I best can; I promote it as much as I can, also in my Institutes.
As soon as possible, we will establish the Pious Universal Union
for the Children of the Divine Will, with the little Chaplet included,
about which I wrote you the other time.
