Vatican Approves Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta Doctrines and Writings
A letter dated December 3rd, 2024 written by Phillippe CURBELIÉ Titular Archbishop of Utica Undersecretary stating that Servant of God Luisa PIccarreta’s writings are FREE from doctrinal error. (Italian and English translations are included.)
Nihil Obstat and Luisa Piccarreta
“The nihil obstat for the resumption of the Cause of Beatification of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta has been issued. This was announced by the Postulator of the Cause, Msgr. Paolo Rizzi, in a note dated August 10, 2024, the text of which is published here.”
The following is a direct quote from thebookofheaven.com regarding some interesting facts about 'The Book of Heaven’:
“In January of 1996, Cardinal Ratzinger released the 34 Volumes of the Book of Heaven to Archbishop Cassati as part of the protocol for process of Luisa’s Cause of Beatification. A team went to the archives of Cardinal Ratzinger’s office and spent 4 days photocopying and photographing the 34 volumes, finishing the project on February 2, 1996 (Feast of the Presentation and Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary). The originals were in perfect condition and were returned to the archives. The photocopies were taken to the Archdiocese of Trani and placed under the custodianship of Archbishop Cassati.
Concerning the original Volumes 35 and 36, they are in the custody of a certain priest in Florida, who has submitted photocopies of them to Archbishop Cassati.
In March of 1997, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Luisa’s death, it was announced publicly that the Tribunal Responsible for Luisa’ Cause had determined unanimously that Luisa’s life was one of heroic virtue and that her mystical experiences were authentic. Also, in 1997, due to the Beatification process, two independent, highly qualified theologians commissioned by the Church to review Luisa’s writings submitted their reports stating that they found nothing contrary to Catholic Faith or Morals. There may possibly be even more theological reviews before Luisa’s Cause goes to Rome (Luisa’s Cause is currently at the Vatican).”

LATE ARCHBISHOP GIOVANNI BATTISTA PICHIERRI
““Necessary prudence cannot deaden the ardor of those who feel COMPELLED TO SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE of the sanctity of life of the Servant of God, to RECOMMEND READING THE WRITINGS, (and) to inspire the making of trusting prayer for her beatification. ”
Statement to Divine Will Groups (excerpt)
by LATE ARCHBISHOP GIOVANNI BATTISTA PICHIERRI
"Necessary prudence cannot deaden the ardor of those who feel COMPELLED TO SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE of the sanctity of life of the Servant of God, to RECOMMEND READING THE WRITINGS, (and) to inspire the making of trusting prayer for her beatification.
All this is not only NOT FORBIDDEN but IT IS DESIRABLE.
As well as, an invitation to strengthen the unity and communion among sister dioceses in which are found individuals, groups and associations inspired by the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta and know her writings".

Here is the paragraph from Daniel’s Book, Thy Will Be Done, pages 313-314:
“Some critics of Luisa attempt to argue that the existing ‘Moratorium’ on the commercial publication of her complete volumes means that they cannot be read, shared, or promoted at all by Catholics. This is false and has been repeatedly contradicted by the sole competent Ecclesial authorities on the matter (who, within the very official documents the ‘Moratorium’ is spoken of, openly advocate for reading and sharing this spirituality!); therefore, those who insist on repeating it should simply be ignored, and we should feel free to read and share the volumes no matter how much they continue to protest. (See the Appendices of The Crown of Sanctity for details).

ARTICLE BY MARK MALLETT
For those interested in learning more about the approval of Luisa’s writings, this page and the article written by Mark Mallett found at “Learn More” may prove useful.
“You must know that these writings came out of the center of the great Sun of My Will, whose rays are full of the Truths coming from this center, and embrace all times, all centuries, all generations.
This great Wheel of Light fills Heaven and earth, and, through Light, it knocks at every heart; praying, begging them to receive the palpitating Life of My Fiat, which Our Paternal goodness condescended and deigned to dictate from within Its center with the most unusual, charming, affable, sweet modes, and with such a great Love, as to seem almost incredible - to astound the very Angels.
Every Word can be called a ‘Portent of Love’, one greater than the other. Therefore, trying to touch these writings is wanting to touch Myself, the Center of My Love, the loving finesses with which I love creatures. I will know how to defend Myself and confound anyone who would slightly disapprove of even one Word of what is written on My Divine Will. Therefore, continue to listen to Me, My daughter; do not obstruct My Love, do not tie My arms by rejecting back into My Womb what you keep writing. These writings cost me too much.
They cost Me as much as Myself. Therefore, I will take so much care of them that I will not allow even a word to be lost.”
Quote by Jesus Christ from the Book of Heaven
*It is important for faithful Catholics to know we may distribute excerpts from the Book of Heaven for private reading and discussion in private Divine Will groups is permissible. However, if one has a public conference he/she needs to seek permission from the local archbishop.
