THE MORNING OFFERING IN THE DIVINE WILL
The Prevenient Act
Jesus tells Luisa that every morning our prayer should be in the Will of God. Jesus instructs Luisa and each of us how to recite this prayer each morning. On May 27, 1922 in volume 14 Jesus reveals to Luisa that the prevenient act, or the morning offering in the Divine Will, is made when the soul, at the first rising of the day, fixes her will in God’s Will. Here the soul decides and confirms that she wants to live and operate only in God’s Will. The soul anticipates all of her acts of the entire day in this morning offering by consecrating them to the Divine Will. In this moment, the soul’s acts begin to flow in God’s one eternal Act that, having neither beginning nor end, elevates her acts to embrace all acts of lives of the past, present and future
However, because self-esteem, negligence and other things during the day may diminish the efficacy of the prevenient act, like clouds before the sun, one must renew this act throughout the day. Jesus refers to this renewal as the present act, and it removes the things that may diminish the prevenient act. To Luisa Jesus revealed that both the prevenient and present acts are necessary for Living in the Divine Will: The former disposes and admits the soul to Live in the Divine Will, while the latter maintains and expands the soul in that same Will.
If you maintain a busy work ethic, you may renew the prevenient act three-four times a day. Now the manner of renewing this act is not confined to its repetition, although this is a good method. God is pleased to see you express your love to Him in a variety of ways. You may renew this act, for example, in his Fiat of Creation, in his Fiat of Redemption, or in his Fiat of Sanctification.
Now, whenever renewing this act we should, like Luisa, do so with two movements of the soul. Luisa used this approach often. The first movement of the soul is ‘general,’ and here we offer to God the love, praise and thanksgiving of and for all things at once, as they are present to us in the eternal now. The second movement is ‘particular,’ and here we offer to God all things in clusters, one at a time (the suns of the cosmos, the stars, the waters, all mankind, etc.) or individually (this or that particular thing). Luisa consistently practiced both movements until she passed onto her eternal reward.
The prevenient act to the right, also known as the Morning Offering in the Divine Will, is a beautiful prayer compiled from numerous extracts of Luisa’s 36 volumes following her method of prayer, which she employed every morning.
PRAYER BELOW:
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother and Queen of the Divine Will, I entreat you, by the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and by the graces God has granted to you since your Immaculate Conception, the grace of never going astray.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I am a poor and unworthy sinner, and I beg of you the grace to allow our Mother and Luisa to form in me the divine acts you purchased for me and for everyone. These acts are the most precious of all, for they carry the Eternal Power of your Fiat and they await my “Yes, your Will be done” (Fiat Voluntas Tua).
So I implore you, Jesus, Mary and Luisa to accompany me as I now pray:
I am nothing and God is all, come Divine Will. Come heavenly Father to beat in my heart and move in my Will; come beloved Son to flow in my blood and think in my intellect; come Holy Spirit to breath my lungs and recall in my memory.
I fuse myself in the Divine Will and place my I love You, I adore You and I bless You God in the Fiats of Creation. With my I love You my soul bilocates in the creations of the heavens and the earth: I love You in the stars, in the sun, in the moon and in the skies; I love You in the earth, in the waters and in every living creature my Father created out of love for me, so that I may return love for love.
I now enter into Jesus’ Most Holy Humanity that embraces all acts. I place my I adore You Jesus in your every breath, heartbeat, thought, word and step. I adore You in the sermons of your public life, in the miracles you performed, in the Sacraments you instituted and in the most intimate fibers of your Heart.
I bless You Jesus in your every tear, blow, wound, thorn and in each drop of Blood that unleashed light for the life of every human. I bless You in all your prayers, reparations, offerings, and in each of the interior acts and pains you suffered up to your last breath on the Cross. I enclose your Life and all your acts, Jesus, with my I love You, I adore You and I bless You.
I now enter into the acts of my Mother Mary and of Luisa. I place my I thank you in Mary and Luisa’s every thought, word and action. I thank you in the embraced joys and sorrows of Jesus’ Redemption and of the Holy Spirit’s Sanctification. Fused in your acts I make my I thank You and I bless You flow in the relations of every creature to fill their acts with light and life: to fill the acts of Adam and Eve; of the patriarchs and prophets; of the souls of the past, present and future; of the holy souls in purgatory; of the holy angels and saints.
I now make these acts my own, and I offer them to You, my tender and loving Father. May they increase the glory of your children, and may they glorify, satisfy and honor You on their behalf.
Let us now begin our day with our Divine Acts fused together. Thank you Most Holy Trinity for enabling me to enter into union with You by means of prayer. May Your Kingdom come, and Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Fiat.

THE DIVINE WILL FUSION PRAYER
Dictations to Lusia Piccarreta from Jesus and Mary:
August 27, 1915
Jesus: “My daughter, when a soul fuses herself in My Will, it is as if two containers, full of different fluids, were poured into each other and each one of them was filled with what the other contained. In the same way, the soul in My Will remains filled with Me, and I with her. And since My Will contains sanctity, beauty, power, love, and all My qualities, the soul that fills herself with Me—fusing and abandoning herself in My Will—comes to be filled with My own sanctity, love, beauty, and all My qualities in the most perfect way possible for a creature. And I feel Myself being filled with her, and finding My sanctity, My beauty, My love, and all My qualities in her, I look at her as if these were her own things. This pleases Me so much that I fall in love with her, keeping her jealously in an intimate place within Me—enriching her and embellishing her continuously with My divine qualities, so as to be delighted and to fall in love with her more and more.
March 18, 1917
“To this end, may your life on earth be completely fused in Mine. Do not do any act without making it flow into Me; and every time you fuse yourself in Me, I will pour new graces and new light into you. I will become the vigilant sentry of your heart to keep the least shadow of sin far away from you. I will guard you as My own Humanity, and I will command the angels to surround you like a crown, that you may be protected from everything and from everyone.
Volume 11, June 15, 1916
CLOTHE YOURSELF IN THE INSIGNIA OF JESUS
“I spent the whole night with Jesus in His Will. Then I felt the Queen Mama near me, and She told me: “My daughter, pray.” And I: ‘My Mama, let us pray together, for by myself I don’t know how to pray.’ And She added: “The most powerful prayers over the Heart of my Son, and those which move Him the most, are for the creature to clothe herself with everything He Himself did and suffered, since He gave everything as gift to the creature. Therefore, my daughter, surround your head with the thorns of Jesus, bead your eyes with His tears, impregnate your tongue with His - 78 - bitterness, clothe your soul with His Blood, adorn yourself with His wounds, pierce your hands and feet with His nails, and like another Christ present yourself before His Divine Majesty. This sight will move Him in such a way that He will not be able to deny anything to the soul who is clothed with His own insignia. But – oh! how little do creatures know how to make use of the gifts which my Son gave them! These were my prayers upon earth, and these are my prayers in Heaven.” So, together we clothed ourselves with the insignia of Jesus, and together we presented ourselves before the Divine Throne. This moved all; the Angels made way for us and remained as though surprised. I thanked Mama, and I found myself inside myself.”
The Fusion Prayer:
I fuse myself in the Will and Love and Mercy of the Father, and clothe myself with the divine humanity of Jesus Christ. And united with Our Most Holy Mother Mary the Immaculate Conception under every title owned to her, I present myself before the Supreme Throne of God in every present moment, perpetually and throughout every prayer and concession with Your Grace before Your throne:
My head surrounded with the thorns of Jesus Christ
My eyes beaded with His Tears and Her Bloody Tears
My tongue impregnated with His bitterness and her sorrows
My soul bathed in His Blood and Her Tears
My body adorned with His wounds
My heart pierced by the lance and the seven swords
My hands and feet pierced with His nails.
I pray You Father that by the merits of Their luminous virtues and afflictions, of His Divinity and Her Immaculate Conception as Mediatrix to concede to me all the graces, mercies and favors of: (e.g. living in Your Holy WIll, praying with love and devoutly from the heart, praying by desires, the fulfillment of my necessities, and all that you deem necessary for the souls of the living, dying and in purgatory, and for the Holy Catholic Church, etc.)
“This sight will move Him in such a way that He will not be able to deny anything to the soul who is clothed with His own insignia. But - oh! How little do creatures know how to make use of the gifts which my Son gave them! These were my prayers upon earth, and these are my prayers in Heaven.”
