Divine Will Group Spiritual Formation is defined by each individual’s relationship to Jesus, so it requires a different way of relating with each other. Members must desire to surrender their human will to God’s Divine Will, and to participate in the group through prayerful listening and response.

“Into The Deep” Divine Will Spiritual Formation Groups are designed to help foster each individual’s surrender into highest levels of the Divine Will, so it requires a different way of relating with each other. Members must desire to surrender their human will to God’s Divine Will, to participate in the group through prayerful listening and response and finally to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into a deeper self knowledge and deeper prayer..

Who should try “Into The Deep” Group Formation Direction?

Individuals seeking to learn the science of the Living in the Gift of the Divine Will, and applying it to their personal lives.

Those who yearn to advance into the 4th Degree of Living in the Divine Will.

Those who have hit a wall in their growth and are feeling lost or confused.

How does it work?

By combining the teachings by the mystical theologian Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi, with the tradition of the Catholic Church, the Carmelite doctors of the church, and the knowledges offered by Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta, the Gift of Living in the Divine Will can be understood and practiced through prayerful and mystical disciplines in our everyday lives.

We all need to identify the sins and obstacles to surrendering our human will and develop the theological and moral virtues as Jesus taught Luisa. Then by allowing Him to transform us through our Divine Will prayers taken to a new level by the Holy Spirit, Jesus will be able to form the Kingdom of the Divine Will in us. Group directees commit to a weekly meeting for 10 weeks, lasting 2 hours. Groups will meet virtually via Zoom.

What does it look like?
Divine Will Group Spiritual Formation sessions are flexible, but we like to start with this format:

1. Prayer in the Divine Will for the session.
2. A period of questions and or personal comments,
3. Using the Interior Castle and passages from St. John of the Cross & other Carmelite saints, we will be exploring the higher forms of prayer and the spiritual growth the Lord desires as preparation for living in the 4th Degree.
4. The group listens prayerfully without interruption together for God’s response to the readings.
5. Response – The group shares comments or questions. The facilitator will then lead the discussion which may be followed by a prayer.
6. Silence – The group practices a period of mental prayer for deeper understanding and reception of God’s grace.

The group closes by reflecting on their time together.
