A while ago on my way to work at the post office in Corato, I was accompanied by my husband; on the way I communicated to him my perplexity about a temporary job my son was supposed to do. I wondered if it was God's Will. My husband replied that he saw me as anxious, that God's Will is not found in anxiety and that God speaks to us in whispers. I went to work saddened, almost convinced that understanding God's Will was really difficult for me. Even a colleague of mine who loves me had noticed that I was a little down in the dumps.
After a while a lady who is a member of the Luisa Piccarreta Association of Corato came into the office to send a correspondence. Her name was also Luisa. As soon as I saw her I was heartened and hoped that she would come to me to tell me something about the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta. It was like wishing for a thirsty person a glass of water! It seemed that she was leaving and instead she came close to me and showing me some rolls of colored paper, asked me to choose one. I chose a card with this message:
“I want to make my testament to you, leaving you as dowry that same Will which your Mama possesses, and which filled Me with so much grace, to the point of making of Me the Mother of the Word” (The Virgin Mary in the Kindom of the Divine Will).
I read an answer to my question in those words. That same evening, when my son returned home, he told me with much enthusiasm about how nice his fellow workers were and how happy he was to begin that experience.
I understood then that God's Will asks us to take care of our children but not to worry, helping them discreetly to find their own way.
The anxiety went away and peace in my heart took over.
As far as the future, don’t worry about it either, because it is not ours, but belongs to God…So, banish every doubt, since doubt, fear and agitation do not come from God… rather, think of loving and doing the Will of God, because with doubts we displease the Lord much more than if we sinned.(From Luisa’s Letters)
