José Luis Acuña Romero (1943-2003), son and apostle of the Divine Will, was the first translator and first editor of Luisa Piccarreta's writings into Spanish. He was the first in Mexico to acquire the writings of Luisa in 1972, to read, study, meditate, and to desire, from that day on, to live in the Divine Will.

He had a solid religious-spiritual preparation. From a very young age he began to read books on Catholic Doctrine, Church History, Theology, Morals, Spirituality, Pontifical and Church Documents, the life and works of the Saints ... and of course the Holy Scriptures. All these helped him to understand the Spirituality of Living in the Divine Will very clearly and in accordance with Catholic Doctrine.

As time went by, he shared these Writings with a great number of people, and he was asked to help with his explanations on how to better understand this Spiritual Life, and how to go deeper in putting it into practice in daily life. He received invitations to give talks in conferences and retreats in Mexico, Costa Rica and the United States. Some of those talks were recorded, and that is why these are available for sharing now. In fact, the Diocesan Tribunal for the Cause of Luisa's Beatification asked Jose Luis to give lectures during the First International Congress on Luisa Piccarreta, held in Costa Rica in December 1995. He was also the first translator and editor from Italian to Spanish of Luisa's writings. All this work was done in communion and obedience to the Church, in communion with his own Bishop and with the Archbishop of Trani -- the diocese to which Luisa belongs -- and in union with the Association of Corato "Luisa Piccarreta, Piccoli Figli del Divin Volere." Jose Luis also collaborated with the Diocesan Tribunal for the Cause of Beatification of Luisa.
