the rounds throughout the volumes. And we are blessed that

Tony Hickey at the priests’ retreat put some structure to these
teachings. By doing this he was like St Paul putting a theology

to the gospels!

So Luisa grew in the understanding of these rounds – we know

because St Annibale asked her to write them down but after
was unsatisfied and asked for more information. Note: He was

growing in them too because he knew there was more than
what she wrote for him.

Let’s quote Pope Francis again- in the Apostolic Letter to

proclaim the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy on 20

November 2016 he said “We will entrust the life of the church,
all humanity, and the entire Cosmos to the Lordship of Christ”

n.5. How do we do this, one way I suggest is by doing rounds.
nd
st
We 1 recognise all creation, church etc is a gift from God, 2
we ask through the merits of Jesus for the grace to say thank

rd
you 3 we spend time recalling all these acts of God and
placing that thank you on it.

This is like the end of the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass that

concludes with the doxology “through Him, with Him, in Him, in

the unity of the Holy Spirit all glory and honour is yours almighty
Father forever and ever. Amen.”

This is what Jesus was doing in his hidden life. Jesus revealed

to Luisa he was doing rounds during this time. And the amazing

thing is that he left these rounds “suspended” for us to add to.
Richard Rohr in his book The Universal Christ in part two

speaks about the “Great Comma” how in the Creed we jump

from the incarnation to the crucifixion, death and resurrection.
What happened in between? This has often not been a focus of

catholic theology, sadly. But the time was not right. But now it is
with the rounds.
