Rounds in the Kingdom of Divine Will - Day 1
Today I wish to start a study about the Rounds in the Kingdom of Divine Will. The best way for that will be to read the words of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta herself. And I found an online book very useful. It has an introduction by Fr. Iannuzzi himself. He being a scholar theologian especially in the Divine Will Spirituality, it is highly advisable to use this book to learn or to get a deeper knowledge about the Rounds in the Kingdom.
Well, the name of the book is THE ROUNDS OF THE SOUL IN THE DIVINE WILL - Luisa Piccarreta.
Fr. Iannuzzi begins his introduction thus;:
In Luisa’s writings one discovers that if man sinned and frustrated God’s design in the material cosmos, this design is restored through the prayers of Jesus and Mary, and of those souls that live in his Will; such souls love God in and through creation, thereby restoring its rightful claims to the freedom it enjoyed before Original Sin.
It may be argued that St. Paul foresaw the prayers and divine acts of these souls, i.e., these “sons of God”, who would “set creation free from its slavery to corruption” (Rom. 8.21).

In this work penned by Luisa, we discover how we can offer up our prayers and divine acts to God in and through creation following her method of prayer, which she refers to the soul’s “rounds” in the Divine Will.
In the following pages you will discover the way in which Luisa’s soul made its flight throughout God’s “Fiats” of Creation, Redemption and Sanctification.
In these three Fiats the soul’s prayers impact all creation, and the events and lives of the personages of the Old and New Testaments, in particular, the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Much like prelapsarian Adam, Luisa “bilocated” her soul in all things to love God as the center of all that he made and accomplished for mankind. Jesus reveals to Luisa that before Original Sin Adam gratefully requited the love of his Heavenly Father by bilocating his soul in all creation over which he exercised dominion:
“He [Adam] would not have been a true king had he not known all of the dominion he exercised or had he not possessed the right to place his acts in all things created by Us […] With the power of Our Divine Fiat he did whatever he desired; he bilocated [his soul] in all created things. And if he spoke, loved, adored or worked, his voice resounded throughout the entire cosmos, and filled it with his love, adoration and works. That is why the divinity felt the love, adoration and work of its first-born son in all of its work”.
Notes ;
1. 1 The following title of this work that is written by Luisa was chosen by her confessor Rev. Benedict Calvi: “The Pious Pilgrimage of the Soul in the Divine Will” (“Pio Pellegrinaggio dell’anima nella Divina Volontà”). Luisa divides these rounds into 24 sections with a simple number only.
2 Nota bene: The Luisian expression, “divine acts”, signifies God’s one eternal operation in the soul of the human creature, who absorbs and elevates the soul’s finite acts beyond time (cf. L. PICARRETA, volume 31, November 6, 1932), thereby enabling them to impact all creatures of the past, present and future simultaneously
