DW Groups

Welcome to our Divine Will Groups page! Here you will find resources to assist both individuals and groups including, in future, a page where you can locate groups or individuals in your vicinity who are affiliated with Corato or who at least are committed to following the guidelines given to us by Msgr. Paolo Rizzi in point 4 below.

In the meantime please use the contact form below to share information about your group–or to reach out if you don’t have a group yet. In the Message field please include your group name if you have one, your city, parish, diocese, etc. The information you enter will not be visible to others but will go directly to my inbox. I hope the database will help Divine Will sisters and brothers find groups to help them on their journey.

Now for an…

Important announcement!

All glory to God! In his perfect timing (the Jubilee of Hope), the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith has affirmed on DDF letterhead that the Cause of Luisa is proceeding and that they have given her writings the Nihil Obstat (see point 1 below). This is as official as it gets!

This is bigger news than we probably realize. Like the early disciples, we have always felt we have found a treasure of infinite value hidden in a field, and though we do not yet understand everything perfectly, we know without a doubt that the Good News of the Third Fiat is meant to be shared! The writings of Luisa provide a message of great hope in this Jubilee of Hope in a world starving for hope.

Now that this barrier has been effectively removed, we can go forward in confidence. Here are some suggestions:

APPROACHING CLERGY

Here are some items you may find useful in approaching clergy–or anyone else. These are just my ideas that may be adapted to different situations.

This first item is pure gold – the DDF letter itself! Scroll to page 2 of document links below for the (unofficial) translations.

  1. His Excellency Archbishop Phillippe Corbelié, Undersecretary for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has responded officially to the bishops of France regarding the Cause of Beatification of Luisa and the status of her writings. Here is the original French document on Dicastery letterhead, which a priest from France (who was at our October retreat) has said may be shared “far and wide”.
    Here is the letter with English translation attached:
    DDF Letter to French Bishops on the Cause of Luisa and her writings (with English translation by Fr. Iannuzzi)
    Aquí está la carta con traducción al español adjunta:
    DICASTERIO_FE_LUISA_PICCARRETA_ESP[1]
  2. Information to present to a priest (or anyone else) whom you feel may be open to Divine Will (not those who seem to be hostile or negative). This is for use by individuals or groups.
  3. Information to give a priest if you want to ask him to be the spiritual advisor to your group. This is geared to groups.
  4. This is for well-established groups who would like to take steps to be in communion with the official Association Luisa Piccarreta in Corato, Italy. This is an optional step, but was highly recommended by Fr. Sergio Pellegrini, vice-postulator for her cause, when we were on retreat in Corato in October 2024. He said that unity between the DW groups is essential for the continuation of Luisa’s cause. Well worth the effort then! To understand this better read this official communication from the postulator of Luisa’s cause for beatification, Msgr Paolo Rizzi, from August 10, 2024.

So let us fuse into Jesus and flood the Divine Will into everything we do, wherever he sends us on our missionary journey. We especially flood the Divine Will into all that God is doing through this important letter from the Dicastery.

If we do our best, God will do the rest – in abundance! Fiat!

Come Divine Will! Come to reign upon the earth!
