Introduction to the Divine Will by Fr Emil

PART 3 Rounds in the Divine Will

Based on Australian Divine Will Priests’ Retreat led by

Tony Hickey 2015

“Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the

things that are on the earth, because you have died, and
now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But
when Christ is revealed – and he is your life – you too will

be revealed in all your glory with him. ….There is only
Christ: he is everything and he is in everything” Colossian
3:2-4 & 11

What are rounds? Jesus told Luisa that the “newness” of the
teachings of the DIVINE WILL are expressed, among other

ways, in the way of praying called the rounds. He said to her to

look at the lives of the saints and you will not see this rounds
way of prayer. Of course, like I always emphasize, the

beginnings and seeds are there because

DIVINE WILL is the full maturity of the
gospel. It’s like, I once read one saint say, the

human body changes from childhood to
adulthood but it’s the same body.

We see a form of rounds in the Liturgy, it’s a

yearly “round” where we follow the life of

Jesus; we learn and give glory for all God has
done through Jesus. The Divine Office prayer
