Though renowned for her extraordinary holiness, what has drawn the attention of the world has been the decades-long diary of her mystical conversations with Jesus. Those conversations present a number of astonishing claims and promises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time in 2000 years Jesus invites all of mankind - through his revelation to Luisa - to experience the ultimate state of union with God: \"living in the divine will\". What had previously been experienced on Earth by only four persons - Jesus, Mary, and Adam and Eve before the Fall - could now be experienced by anyone. Even more remarkably, Jesus described his invitation - and Luisa's (and our) acceptance of it - as the Third Fiat of God, claiming that it would in some way complete and even surpass his First Fiat of Creation and his Second Fiat of Redemption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCan such stunning claims be reconciled with Sacred Scripture and Tradition? This book shows those with doubts about Luisa's writings that they indeed \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ecan \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ebe viewed within a framework of Catholic teaching. But it also shows those drawn to her writings how they \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003emust \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ebe viewed within such an orthodox framework. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStephen Patton left his civil and criminal trial law practice in 1994 to study graduate theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. After receiving his M.A. he worked as a professional catechist and lay ministry director for three Catholic dioceses until retiring in 2023.
