longer want to live by your human will. 2. Tell Jesus you Desire

               the gift of his Will. Then read the writings prayerfully and as
               your knowledge  grows so too the magnification and

               permanency of the gift.


               So why is the Divine Will gift given now.


                It took the Church hundreds of years to simply declare Jesus
               has two wills.


               Eg.  Pope Benedict XVI, in The Fathers Vol II p.

               63 pointed out: “A theory had come into being

               which held that there was only one will in Christ,
               the divine will.  To defend the oneness of

               Christ’s person, people denied that he had his
               own true and proper human will. Note: St

               Maximus the confessor and Pope Martin I died in exile to

               protect this teaching. Lateran Council said they were right it
               cannot be said that Christ had a single will.  Pope Benedict

               explains the importance of this to us: “It is only in the “yes” that

               man truly becomes himself; only in the great openness of the
               ”yes” in the unification if his will with the divine, that man

               becomes immensely open, becomes divine.”


               Jesus tried to communicate this but people were not ready cf

               the dialogue of Jesus to Pharisees in John 10:34-35 “I said, you
               are gods? So it uses the word ‘gods' of those people to whom

               the word of God was addressed and scripture cannot be set

               aside.”

               We are entering that time of full revelation of the Divine Will

               operating in the human. See again  John 16:12-13 (NJB):


                       I still have many things to say to you but they would be too

                       much for you to bear now. However, when the Spirit of
                       truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since



                                                                                               10 | P a g e
