Volume 25 — December 13, 1928 “How all created things possess a dose of happiness. How the privation of Jesus makes life rise again.”
STAGE ONE — INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL IDENTIFICATION
Movement 1: All Created Things Possess a Dose of Happiness — The DW Soul at the Banquet
All created things were created by Us with a dose of happiness, one distinct from the other; so, each created thing brings to man the kiss, the air that delights, the life of Our happiness. But do you know who feels all the effects of Our many happinesses which are spread in the Creation descend into her interior, to the point of remaining soaked with them like a sponge? One who lives in Our Divine Will. Our happinesses are not foreign to her, because, since she has her taste purified by Our Fiat and not corrupted by the human will, her taste and all of her senses have the virtue of enjoying all the happinesses which are present in the created things, and We feel so much happiness and joy in seeing one who does Our Will as though sitting at the banquet of Our happinesses and feeding herself with as many different bites for as many as are the happinesses present in the created things. Oh! how beautiful it is to see the creature happy.
Genesis 1:31 — “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” The distinct dose of happiness placed in each created thing corresponds to the divine assessment of creation as “very good”: the happiness in each creature is the objective register of the Creator’s own goodness communicated through the act of making. The DW soul who perceives this happiness perceives what God Himself sees in His works. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 104:24–28 — “LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. … These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.” The multiplicity of distinct happiness-doses — “one distinct from the other” — corresponds to the Psalmist’s exclamation at the variety of divine works: each has its own character, its own mode of bearing the Creator’s gift, corresponding to the “dose” specific to each created thing. Affective/meditative
Wisdom 11:24–25 — “For you love all things that are, and abhor none of the things which you made; For … How would anything have endured unless you had willed it?” The divine love placed in every created thing as its sustaining happiness corresponds to Wisdom’s observation that God’s love is the condition of each creature’s existence: the happiness in each created thing is the expression of the love that created and preserves it. Direct doctrinal parallel
Proverbs 8:30–31 — “then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.” The Creator’s delight in seeing the DW soul “sitting at the banquet of Our happinesses” corresponds to Wisdom’s pre-creational rejoicing in the inhabited world: the happinesses spread through creation are the form in which the divine Wisdom’s delight in humanity is communicated, and the DW soul who soaks them up restores that original rejoicing to its intended circuit. Typological
John 15:11 — “I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.” Jesus’ statement that making Luisa happy is “the greatest of my happinesses” — “To make one who loves Me happy is the greatest of my happinesses” — corresponds directly to the Johannine purpose-formula: Christ’s joy in the disciple and the disciple’s full joy are not separate goods but one mutual reality. The harmonium interlude makes this explicit: Jesus’ delight in the music is His delight in Luisa’s delight. Christological/Trinitarian
1 Corinthians 2:9–10 — “But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.” But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” The DW soul’s purified taste and senses perceiving the happiness in every created thing corresponds to Paul’s account of what the Spirit reveals: the goods prepared in creation for those who love God are inaccessible to natural perception but accessible to the Spirit-purified taste. Direct doctrinal parallel
Philippians 4:4 — “Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” The DW soul soaking up the happinesses of created things like a sponge — constitutively and naturally — corresponds to Paul’s twice-stated rejoicing imperative, but in Luisa’s framework the imperative has become a constitutive state: what Paul commands as a spiritual achievement is the DW soul’s natural condition because her taste has been purified. Direct doctrinal parallel
Revelation 19:9 — “He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.” The DW soul “sitting at the banquet of Our happinesses and feeding herself with as many different bites” corresponds to the eschatological marriage supper: the creature at the divine banquet, receiving the happiness of each created thing as a distinct course at the table, already lives in the present what Revelation depicts as the eschatological beatitude. Typological
Movement 2: The Utility of Privations — Death Preparing the Place for New Life
You feel yourself lifeless without Me, you feel you are dead; yet, over that pain and that death my new life is formed; and this new life brings you the new manifestations of the life of my Divine Will… The pain of my privation prepares the place for my new life, and disposes your soul to listen to and to comprehend the important truths on my Divine Fiat… I too suffered the pain of death, to make all creatures rise again in the pain of my death. Death, suffered in the divine order and in order to fulfill the Divine Will, produces Divine Life, so that all creatures might receive this Divine Life. And, after having suffered so many deaths, I wanted to really die — how many goods did my resurrection not produce? It can be said that with my resurrection all the goods of my Redemption rose again, and, with it, all goods rose again for creatures, as well as their very life.
John 12:24 — “Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.” The utility of privations — “The pain of my privation prepares the place for my new life” — corresponds directly to the grain-of-wheat law: the death-state (feeling lifeless, as-though-dead) is the necessary condition for the new life’s formation, and the new manifestations of the DW that follow each privation are the harvest of the grain that died. Jesus explicitly extends this law to His own Passion (“I too suffered the pain of death”) and to the universal pattern. Christological/Trinitarian
John 11:25 — “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.” The claim that “my new life is formed” and “my life would rise again in you” over the pain and death-state corresponds to the Johannine “I am” formula: the Resurrection is not a past historical event but Jesus’ constitutive mode of being, perpetually operative in the soul’s present experience of privation-and-new-life. The multiple “risings” Luisa experiences across twenty-five volumes are particular instances of the “I am the resurrection” reality. Christological/Trinitarian
John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.” The privation-experience of diminishment — Luisa feeling lifeless, dead, without Jesus — while the DW’s manifestations increase through the same privation corresponds to the Baptist’s self-description: the pattern is the universal law of the creature’s relationship to the growing divine life. Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 6:5 — “For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;” The parallel between Jesus’ physical death and resurrection and Luisa’s repeated mystical deaths and new-life-risings corresponds to Paul’s baptismal theology: the death-resurrection structure is the constitutive pattern of the divine life operating in the creature united to Christ. Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 8:11 — “But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” The claim that “over that pain and that death my new life is formed” corresponds to Paul’s resurrection-in-the-present: the Spirit of the Resurrection already operative in the living body, giving life through the same power that raised Christ, corresponds exactly to the “hidden inside” Jesus who prepares the new life during the privation. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 4:10–12 — “always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. … So then death works in us, but life in you.” The divine pain that “makes you feel death, but without dying” and through which “my very life rises again” corresponds to Paul’s most concise formulation of the death-life dynamic: the continuous carrying of the death-state is the mechanism by which the divine life manifests. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 12:9 — “He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.” The paradox of feeling lifeless while the divine life rises anew — “you feel you are dead; yet, over that pain and that death my new life is formed” — corresponds to Paul’s paradox of weakness as the condition of power: the experience of death-without-dying is the experiential form of power-made-perfect-in-weakness. Direct doctrinal parallel
Hebrews 12:11 — “All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” The privation’s utility — apparent death but productive of new life and new DW manifestations — corresponds to Hebrews’ principle about divine discipline: the pain is real, the training is real, and the fruit is real; the former is the condition for the latter. Direct doctrinal parallel
Philippians 1:29 — “Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,” The divine pain as the operative medium through which the DW’s new truths are prepared corresponds to Paul’s granting-language: the suffering is not incidental to the divine mission but formally granted for Christ’s sake, purposive and productive. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 Corinthians 15:20–22 — “But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” Jesus’ claim that “with my resurrection all the goods of my Redemption rose again, and, with it, all goods rose again for creatures” corresponds precisely to Paul’s resurrection-for-all theology: Christ’s resurrection is the firstfruits of a universal resurrection of goods and life for the entire human family. Direct doctrinal parallel
Ephesians 2:4–6 — “But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,” The pattern of being dead and being made alive by the divine action corresponds to Paul’s gracious life-giving account: God bringing the dead to life through the resurrection-power is the structural form of what Jesus does for Luisa after each privation. Direct doctrinal parallel
STAGE TWO — COMPARISON WITH HOGAN’S COMMENTARY
CORRESPONDENCES
Death-resurrection pattern (John 12:24 implicit, Romans 6 implicit): Both identify the death-resurrection as the governing structural law of the privation-utility teaching. Hogan states this directly: “You’re experiencing death and resurrection as Jesus did… through this experience that God is doing the work that he needs to do in humanity.” Stage One grounds the same pattern in John 12:24, Romans 6:5, Romans 8:11, and 2 Corinthians 4:10–12. Both readings are consistent; Stage One provides the scriptural documentation Hogan’s commentary presupposes.
John 3:30 (he must increase / I must decrease): Hogan cites this explicitly as the pattern for Luisa’s diminishment-and-divine-increase: “I must decrease and he must increase… emotionally we are experiencing this decrease.” Stage One identifies the same passage independently. Both readings apply it to the privation-utility pattern, though from slightly different angles: Hogan emphasizes the emotional experience of decrease; Stage One emphasizes the structural correspondence as the universal law of the creature-Creator relationship.
VSC-1 connection (Colossians 1:24 implicit): Both identify Luisa’s mystical deaths as vicarious. Hogan states: “I believe she was doing it for us… enabling us to begin to allow that the divine son to deal with all the dross that is in us… she did it for us.” Stage One identifies Philippians 1:29 as the granting-language for this structure; both point to the VSC-1 pattern (the soul’s participation in Christ’s suffering for the universal benefit of creatures).
DEVIATIONS
For the banquet image: Stage One develops Revelation 19:9, Proverbs 8:30–31, and John 15:11 as the load-bearing correspondences for the DW soul “sitting at the banquet of Our happinesses.” Hogan does not develop specific citations for the banquet section but paraphrases the divine perspective: “the Lord is simply saying that he enjoys the one who can truly absorb the wonder and glory of the creation he has made for us.” Hogan’s reading emphasizes receptive-appreciative capacity; Stage One’s citations emphasize the eschatological and Wisdom dimensions of the banquet. The difference is angle: Hogan reads devotionally (what to do with created things); Stage One reads theologically (what the banquet images signify doctrinally).
For the resurrection-goods claim: Stage One develops 1 Corinthians 15:20–22 (Christ as firstfruits of universal resurrection) and Ephesians 2:4–6 (dead made alive) for the statement that “all goods rose again for creatures” with Christ’s resurrection. Hogan approaches the same claim through the ages-of-grace framework: “with Jesus’s resurrection all the fruits of his most holy death were released into humanity and the age of grace was born.” Both are accurate and complementary: Stage One maps the Pauline resurrection theology; Hogan maps the salvation-historical application.

ADDITIONS — HERS
Hogan draws the cup-and-liquid analogy as a pastoral illustration: “if you want to put some other liquid in, you have to empty the cup.” This is not a scriptural citation but a clear paraphrase of the spiritual principle whose nearest scriptural correlate is the grain-of-wheat law (John 12:24) — the emptying of the natural principle is the condition for the divine filling. The illustration clarifies the mechanism Stage One identifies through Scripture.
Hogan’s reading of Luisa’s privations as explicitly vicarious — “I believe she was doing it for us… she was enabling us to begin to allow the divine son to deal with all the dross in us” — extends the VSC-1 framework beyond what Stage One develops from Philippians 1:29, grounding it in the Luisian understanding of Colossians 1:24 (filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body). This is a genuine VSC-1 reading not developed in Stage One.

STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
The combined findings identify this entry as structured around the death-resurrection pattern in two distinct registers: the cosmological (creation’s happiness-doses distributed for the DW soul’s full reception) and the mystical-anthropological (the privation-death as the necessary condition for new divine life and new DW manifestations). The load-bearing correspondences are Johannine (John 12:24’s grain-of-wheat law; John 11:25’s “I am the resurrection”; John 3:30’s decrease-and-increase) and Pauline (Romans 6:5’s union in death-resurrection; 2 Corinthians 4:10–12’s death-and-life dynamic; 1 Corinthians 15:20–22’s firstfruits theology). Hogan’s most distinctive contributions are the John 3:30 citation (the Baptist as the model for mystical decrease-and-increase) and the vicarious VSC-1 reading of Luisa’s deaths as for humanity. Together, the two citation streams establish that the death-resurrection pattern is simultaneously Christological (structurally identical to Christ’s own death-resurrection), Pauline-apostolic (the pattern of the apostolic body), and universally creational (the grain-of-wheat law operative at every level).

STAGE THREE — CROSS-ENTRY SYNTHESIS
All Created Things and Their Doses of Happiness: The DW Soul at the Banquet
Stage One and Hogan approach the first movement from complementary angles. Stage One develops the theological framework through Genesis 1:31 (creation assessed as “very good” — the happiness in each creature as the objective register of the Creator’s communicated goodness), Psalm 104:24–28 (the manifold variety of distinct works), and Wisdom 11:24–25 (divine love as the sustaining ground of each creature’s existence). Hogan works from the experiential and pastoral register: the distinct doses of happiness are the Creator’s delight communicated through everything He has made — the majestic countryside, the fruit, the swim in the sea — and the DW soul’s capacity to soak them up is the practical consequence of purification.
The two citation streams converge on Proverbs 8:30–31 (Stage One) and the implicit Johannine delight-principle (Hogan): both identify the Creator’s joy in the creature’s happiness as the governing dynamic. Stage One names it as Wisdom’s pre-creational rejoicing in the inhabited world, restored to its intended circuit when the DW soul receives what each created thing carries; Hogan names it as the practical invitation to do everything “with him, through him, with him and in him.” The harmonium interlude is the microcosm of the whole teaching: Jesus pricking up His ears to listen and saying “how beautiful it is to be delighted together” is the precise form of what Proverbs 8:30–31 depicts and what John 15:11 (“that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full”) proposes as the telos of the divine-human relationship.
Stage One’s Revelation 19:9 (marriage supper of the Lamb) as the eschatological anchor for the banquet image opens a dimension Hogan does not develop. The DW soul “sitting at the banquet of Our happinesses” is not merely a devotional image but an eschatological correspondence: the creature already lives in the present what Revelation depicts as the final beatitude. The 1 Corinthians 2:9–10 citation (what the Spirit reveals — the goods prepared for those who love God, inaccessible to natural perception) provides the epistemological ground: the purified taste is the Spirit’s instrument for perceiving what natural senses cannot reach. The entry’s insistence that the DW soul “soaks like a sponge” and “sits at the banquet” because her “taste has been purified by the Fiat” corresponds precisely to Paul’s principle that the Spirit grants access to what is otherwise hidden in created things.
The Utility of Privations: Death Preparing the Place for New Life
Stage One and Hogan converge on the death-resurrection pattern as the structural governing law of this movement. Stage One provides the full scriptural documentation across four distinct registers: the creational (John 12:24’s grain-of-wheat law), the Christological-Johannine (John 11:25’s “I am the resurrection” and John 3:30’s decrease-and-increase), the Pauline baptismal (Romans 6:5’s union in Christ’s death-resurrection), and the Pauline apostolic (2 Corinthians 4:10–12’s continuous carrying of the death-state as the mechanism of divine life’s manifestation). Hogan works from the same pattern experientially: “You’re experiencing death and resurrection as Jesus did… it is during the times of difficulty that the growth actually happens.”
Hogan’s most distinctive contribution is John 3:30 as the pattern-text. The Baptist’s self-description of decrease as the correlate of the divine increase corresponds to what Luisa experiences in every privation: the emotional experience of diminishment (feeling lifeless, dead) while the divine manifestations increase through the same privation. Hogan notes: “emotionally we are experiencing this decrease… and so it seems to us difficult to say that I can delight in all of creation while this is going on.” This opens the entry’s internal tension: the first movement (delight in created happiness) and the second movement (death-like privation) are not contradictory but structured by the same divine pedagogy — the privation prepares the deepened capacity for the delight. Stage One’s 2 Corinthians 12:9 (power made perfect in weakness) is the doctrinal principle that bridges the two movements.
The PHD-1 dimension is central to this movement: “I remain hidden in you and I prepare the work to give you” is PHD-1 at its most personally stated — not the hiddenness of the writings or truths as a general principle but Jesus Himself hidden during the privation, working invisibly in the soul’s interior to prepare the new manifestation. The connection to TFL-1 is implicit: the new manifestations produced after each privation are specifically named as “new manifestations of the life of my Divine Will” and “the enchantment of my truths” — that is, the privation-death is the mechanism by which the soul is disposed to receive the next truth-as-divine-life. The grain-of-wheat law (John 12:24) and the TFL-1 doctrine are structurally continuous: each dying prepares the soil for the next truth-life to take root.
Stage One’s 1 Corinthians 15:20–22 (Christ as firstfruits / in Christ all made alive) is the most doctrinally significant addition for the final section of the movement. Jesus’ claim that “with my resurrection all the goods of my Redemption rose again, and, with it, all goods rose again for creatures, as well as their very life” is Paul’s firstfruits theology made explicit: the Resurrection releases all the goods of the Passion into the human family, and Luisa’s mystical deaths are the continued form of this release. Hogan frames this through the ages-of-grace model (the age of grace born through the Resurrection’s release of the Passion’s fruits); both readings are accurate and complementary.
Synthesis Conclusion
The dominant biblical imagination is the death-resurrection pattern — Johannine (John 12:24; 11:25; 3:30) and Pauline (Romans 6:5; 2 Corinthians 4:10–12; 1 Corinthians 15:20–22) — understood as the universal structural law governing both creation’s happiness-distribution and the soul’s mystical privation-and-new-life cycle. The two movements of the entry are not independent: the same law that requires the grain of wheat to die before bearing fruit is the law that distributes happiness in distinct doses to each created thing — the pattern of gift, receptivity, death, and new gift is the form of divine generosity at every level of existence.
The three most theologically significant findings from the combined analysis are these:
First, the entry generates an explicit PDW-1 advance: “all created things were created by Us with a dose of happiness, one distinct from the other.” This is the exterior-creation complement to the October 3 register in which the happiness-seeds were interior to man; here the same seeds are distributed externally through each created thing, and the DW soul’s purified senses are the instrument for receiving them. The PDW-1 doctrine now has both its interior and exterior registers formally stated within Volume 25.
Second, the PHD-1 advance — “I remain hidden in you and I prepare the work to give you” — is the most personally stated PHD-1 register in the corpus. Prior PHD-1 appearances concerned the hiddenness of the truths and the writings; this appearance names the divine hiddenness as Jesus Himself concealed within the soul during the privation, actively working in the interior silence. This places PHD-1 within the Johannine “I am the resurrection” framework: the hidden Jesus is already the resurrector, already preparing the new life.
Third, the entry’s most formally comprehensive statement of the death-resurrection-for-all structure — “Death, suffered in the divine order and in order to fulfill the Divine Will, produces Divine Life, so that all creatures might receive this Divine Life” — is the corpus’s closest approach to a formal theological principle governing the VSC-1 pattern. It is not merely that Luisa suffers vicariously; it is that death suffered in the divine order constitutively produces divine life for all creatures as a structural law. This is VSC-1 at the level of theological principle rather than particular instance.
Observation Notes

25-1928-12-13
RPT-1 — One hundred and fifty-sixth confirmed appearance: 156th / fusing-in-DW-accompanying-acts-in-Creation / most-classically-stated-round-formula. “I was fusing myself in the Holy Divine Volition, and as I accompanied Its acts done in the Creation” — the opening sentence is the representative prayer in its canonical Creation-round form. Count advances from 155 to 156. Governing anchor: Matthew 6:9–10; Colossians 1:17; Romans 8:26.
PDW-1 — New register: Exterior-happiness-doses / distinct-per-created-thing / DW-soul-as-sponge. “All created things were created by Us with a dose of happiness, one distinct from the other… each created thing brings to man the kiss, the air that delights, the life of Our happiness.” This is the exterior-creation complement to the October 3 register (seeds-of-happiness-interior-to-man): the happiness-seeds are now located in each created thing externally, and the DW soul’s purified senses receive them all. PDW-1 now has both its interior (October 3) and exterior (December 13) happiness-registers formally stated within Volume 25. Governing anchors: Genesis 1:31; Psalm 104:24–28; Wisdom 11:24–25; 1 Corinthians 2:9–10.
PHD-1 — New register: Hidden-Jesus-preparing-in-interior / most-personally-stated. “When I deprive you of Me, I remain hidden in you and I prepare the work to give you, and my new life to rise again.” The most personally stated PHD-1 register in the corpus: not the hiddenness of the truths or writings but Jesus Himself concealed within the soul during the privation, actively working to prepare the next manifestation. The hiddenness is purposive and intimate — the hidden one is simultaneously the resurrector. Governing anchors: John 16:12–13; John 11:25; Colossians 1:25–27.
VSC-1 — New register: Death-in-divine-order-produces-divine-life-for-all / most-formally-principled. “Death, suffered in the divine order and in order to fulfill the Divine Will, produces Divine Life, so that all creatures might receive this Divine Life.” VSC-1 advances to its most formally principled statement: the soul’s deaths in the DW order produce divine life for all creatures as a structural law — not merely a particular vicarious act but the constitutive principle governing the VSC-1 pattern. Governing anchors: Colossians 1:24; John 12:24; 1 Corinthians 15:20–22; Romans 8:11.
