My new book, What God is by Nature, Mary is by Grace; the Greatness of the Blessed Virgin as Revealed to Luisa Piccarreta, is now available.
Link for Print Edition; Link for Kindle ebook Edition.
What
God is by Nature, Mary is by Grace
is a compendium of the teachings on the Blessed Virgin Mary found in
the pages of Luisa Piccarreta's Book
of Heaven. The Book
of Heaven is a 36
volume collection of her writings on the Divine Will, as revealed by
the Lord and by His Mother. The current book is a detailed narrative
report and description of over 250 dated entries about Mary contained
in Luisa's opus.
This
is my fourth book on the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. The first
three presented overviews of the first 21 volumes of her revelations.
This book is more than an overview, and concentrates solely on the
teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary's life on earth and in heaven
as lived in the Divine Will. Luisa's writings reveal the hitherto
unknown extent of the true greatness, height and sublimity of the
life of the Mother of God.
This
is a good faith sharing of my work on this very difficult and
abstruse topic, based on the best available English translations of
her work, and is not intended to be considered authorized, official,
or definitive. Any eventual publication of a Church-approved English
translation of her works should not affect the meaning or sense of
the present book.
The
source references to the entries from Luisa's 36 volume Book of
Heaven are given after each use, and indicate the volume number and
the date of the entry.
The Servant of God Luisa
Piccarreta was a twentieth century mystic from southern Italy
(1865-1947). She spent over 60 years of her life confined to bed,
essentially subsisting only on the Holy Eucharist. She was a victim
soul, who experienced intense sufferings, as well as visits and
revelations from Jesus and Mary. For a time her spiritual advisor was
St. Annibale di Francia, instrumental in obtaining Church approval
for the first 19 volumes of Luisa's work, until his death. Her
writings center on the importance of the Divine Will in the life of
Christians, and the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, as
foretold in the Lord's prayer: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be
done,on earth at it is in heaven.” Her Cause for Beatification and
subsequent Canonization is being considered by the Vatican's
Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
