(NOTE: There is a work entitled Soyez fidèles et attentifs which is an attempted French version in four "cahiers" (i.e. notebooks) of Be Faithful and Attentive.  It was published by the Association Franco-Canandienne Luisa Piccarreta of Québec.  Despite what may be said on the first page of some of these "cahiers," I have never given my approval to any of these publications.  This is because in certain places the publishers took the liberty of freely editing my work as they saw fit (including adding notorious characters such as Thomas Merton & Teilhard de Chardin!).  In 2007 I asked the Association to stop publishing these faulty translations and I am happy to state that it seems they have willingly obliged.   — Robert T.

Overview
(Top of Page)

Be Faithful & Attentive ImageBe Faithful and Attentive, by Robert T. Hart, is meant to serve as a "Handbook" giving practical instruction to those souls wishing to embrace the spirituality of Living in the Divine Will — a spirituality given to us by God through the instrumentality of the Italian mystic and Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta in her spiritual diary, the Book of Heaven.  The 3rd Edition of Hart's "Handbook," (composed of two books in one volume) contains 1064 pages.  Book One (of the 3rd Edition) contains 18 chapters designed to help readers both understand and practice the spirituality of Living in the Divine Will.  Book Two is a collection of various "Rounds" in the Divine Will — the special manner of prayer requested by Our Lord through Luisa to beg that his Kingdom come.  You will find various chapters from the book available for viewing in the table of contents below.    Obtain copies here

Be Faithful and Attentive is not intended as a book for beginners who have had no instruction in Luisa's spiritual doctrine.  We are happy to The Secret of the Divine Will Imageannounce, however, that the same Mr. Hart has recently completed an introductory book called, The Secret of the Divine Will, to fulfill this need.  It is presently awaiting ecclesiastical approval for publication.  Once obtained, we hope to provide a small abridged version of this new book entitled, Sicut in Cælo et in Terra, (On Earth as it is in Heaven) on our free downloadable booklets page.  Look for it there in the No. 1 position.  Hoping that this new book and booklet will be an instrument to hasten the coming of God's Kingdom, we would greatly appreciate your prayers that permission to publish will be granted soon.
