"Your Faith Anew!"
Your Faith Anew! exists to help souls grow in their knowledge of the Catholic Faith, strive to remain in a state of grace, and encounter the transforming joy of the Gospel. Its mission is simple yet eternal: to save souls, glorify God, and become saints.
Hosted by David Russell, this daily reflection podcast draws deeply from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta—especially The Book of Heaven—guiding listeners into a deeper understanding of living in the Divine Will.
David is the author of four spiritually rich works: Magi Theology: The Essence of Illusion, The Little Magician – Discovers Bigger and Better, Our Pilgrimage with the Pilgrim Virgin, and his newest release, Our Mother in the Divine Will. With a lifelong fascination for the mystical, David discovered a profound connection between the art of illusion and deeper spiritual realities—an insight that inspired both his theological and children’s writings. His work Magi Theology received both the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from the Diocese of Knoxville.
In 2010, David was introduced to the writings of Luisa Piccarreta, which deeply resonated with his own spiritual insights. This encounter helped shape the foundation of his ministry.
In 2017, he founded the Your Faith Anew! prayer and study group to help Catholics rediscover and fall in love with their Faith. At the heart of his message is this conviction:
“The Catholic Faith prepares us to receive the Gift of Living in the Divine Will—and this Gift enables us to live our Faith in a divine manner most pleasing to God.”
Join us daily as we seek not only to understand our Faith—but to live it fully, joyfully, and in union with the Divine Will.

Luisa writes,
I was fusing myself in my sweet Jesus in order to diffuse myself in all creatures, and fuse them all in Jesus. So I kept flinging myself between the creatures and Jesus, to prevent my beloved Jesus from being offended, and to prevent creatures from offending Him. Now, as I was doing this, He told me: “My daughter, as you pour yourself into my Will and fuse yourself in Me, a Sun is formed in you. As you keep thinking, loving, repairing, etc., the rays are formed; and my Will, as background, becomes the crown of these rays. So the Sun is formed which, rising up in the air, melts into beneficial dew upon all creatures. Therefore, the more you fuse yourself in Me, the more Suns you keep forming. Oh, how beautiful it is to see these Suns which, rising and rising, remain circumfused within my own Sun, and pour beneficial dew upon all! How many graces do creatures not receive! I am so taken by this, that as they fuse themselves, I pour abundant dew of all kinds of graces upon them, so that they may form greater Suns, and may be able to pour the beneficial dew more abundantly over all.” And as I was fusing myself, I could feel light, love, graces, being poured upon my head.

SPEAKER_01Welcome. This is David Russell and Your Faith Anew. Daily Reflections guiding you to live in the divine will. Today's reflection is from the Book of Heaven by the servant of God Louisa Picaretta, april eighteenth, nineteen seventeen, volume twelve. Let us begin in the will and name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father, in your divine will you call us to rise beyond ourselves, to love as you love, and to act in union with your eternal designs. Grant us the grace to fuse our thoughts, our prayers, and our sufferings in you, so that every act may become light for souls and reparation for the world. May we become instruments of your grace, diffusing your love over all creation.
SPEAKER_00Amen.
SPEAKER_01Saint Matthew writes in the gospel according to Matthew, chapter five, verse forty-five. He makes his son rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches in paragraph seven three six By this power of the Spirit, God's children can bear much fruit. He who has grafted us unto the true vine will make us bear the fruit of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. We live by the Spirit. The more we renounce ourselves, the more we walk by the Spirit. In today's passage, Louisa is drawn into another mystery. As the soul fuses itself in the divine will, it becomes like a sun, radiating grace, love, and reparation over all creation.
SPEAKER_00Louisa writes.
SPEAKER_01And fuse them all in Jesus. So I kept flinging myself between the creatures and Jesus, to prevent my beloved Jesus from being offended, and to prevent creatures from offending him. Now, as I was doing this, he told me, My daughter, as you pour yourself into my will and fuse yourself in me, a son is formed in you. As you keep thinking, loving, repairing, etc., the rays are formed. And my will as background becomes the crown of these rays. So the sun is formed, which, rising up in the air, melts into beneficial dew upon all creatures. Therefore, the more you fuse yourself in me, the more sons you keep forming. Oh, how beautiful it is to see these suns which, rising and rising, remain circumfused within my own sun, and pour beneficial dew upon all. How many graces do creatures not receive? I am so taken by this that as they fuse themselves, I pour abundant dew of all kinds of graces upon them, so that they may form greater sons, and may be able to pour the beneficial dew more abundantly over all.
SPEAKER_00And as I was fusing myself, I could feel light, love, graces being poured upon my head.
SPEAKER_01This passage reveals something extraordinary about life in the divine will. Our acts are no longer small, isolated moments. They become radiant, expansive, and universal. Jesus describes the soul fused in his will as a sun, not a candle, not a flicker, a sun. Why? Because when we act in our human will, our actions remain limited, confined to time, place, and intention. But when we fuse ourselves in the divine will, our acts take on a divine quality. They extend beyond us. They rise like the sun and spread everywhere. Every thought, every prayer, every act of love, every moment of reparation, these become rays, and God Himself becomes the background, the sustaining force, the crown of these rays. This changes everything. It means your hidden prayer this morning, your quiet offering, your act of patience, your effort to repair for sin, none of it is small. In the divine will, these acts rise and fall like dew upon all creatures. They bring grace to souls you will never meet. They console the heart of Jesus. They repair for offenses across time and space. And Jesus tells us something even more astonishing. He is drawn to this. He delights in it. He responds by pouring even more grace into the soul so that it can form even greater sons. This is the multiplication of divine life within the soul. And this is the invitation. Not just to do good, but to enter into God's way of doing good. To let your life become radiant, to let your love become universal. To let your prayer become fruitful for all. May I rise in you not for myself, but for all, to bring light where there is darkness, grace where there is dryness, and love where there is indifference. Form in me, O Lord, these sons of the divine will, so that my life may no longer be my own, but a living diffusion of your goodness upon the earth. Amen. Thank you for joining your faith anew today. Remember, every act you make in the divine will carries a power far beyond what you see. Your life, united with God, becomes light for the world. Let your prayer rise. Let your love expand. Let your soul become a son. Until tomorrow, stay in his will, and your faith will be made anew.
