How Creation is a divine army. Wherever the Divine Will is present there is perennial life.

My abandonment in the Divine Fiat continues, and as I was following Its acts which It did in the whole Creation, I wanted to give to my Creator the glory which each created thing contained.  In fact, even though each created thing is glorious, noble, holy, of divine origin, because it is formed by the Creating Fiat, however, each thing possesses a property, one distinct from the other, in such a way that each of them gives its own glory to the One who created it.

So, while my little and poor intelligence was wandering within Creation, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me:  “My daughter, each created thing has its special office, according to how God created it, and all of them are faithful to Me in the office which each one possesses, giving Me continuous glory, and each distinct from the other.  The Creation is my divine army – united and inseparable, though created things are distinct, and all of them run without ever stopping for the sole purpose of glorifying their Creator.  It is like an army:  some act as general, some as captain, some as officer, and some as little soldier – all intent on serving the king, each one at its place, in perfect order and faithful to the exercise of each office.  As each created thing possesses an act of my Divine Will, this is enough for them to maintain themselves in their place in perfect order, always beautiful and ever new, and in the act of glorifying the One who created them.  Wherever my Divine Will is present there is perennial life, harmony, order, unshakeable firmness, such that no event can move them from their place, and all are happy in the office which each possesses.  Such would man have been if the human will had not snatched him away from my Will – a beautiful army, all ordered, and each one happy in his office, and always in the act of glorifying Me; and while glorifying his Creator, he would remain glorified himself.  This is why I want my Divine Fiat to return to reign in the midst of creatures – because I want my army, all ordered, noble, holy, and with the imprint of the glory of their Creator.”
