The Book of Heaven
—Unofficial Version—

April 12, 1922

Sin breaks the current of Love, and opens the current of Justice.

As I was in my usual state, my sweet Jesus made Himself seen all afflicted, almost in the act of giving course to Justice, but as though forced by creatures themselves. I prayed Him to withhold the scourges, and He told me: "My daughter, between Creator and creature there is nothing but currents of Love. Sin breaks these currents and opens the current to Justice. My Justice defends the rights of my offended Love, of my broken Love between Creator and creature; and making Its way into their midst, It would want to reunite this broken Love. Ah! If man did not sin, my Justice would have nothing to do with the creature. But as guilt begins, my Justice places Itself on the way. Do you think that I wanted to strike man? No, no; on the contrary, it grieves Me - it is hard for Me to touch him. But he himself forces Me to, and induces Me to strike him. You, pray that man may mend his ways; so Justice, quickly reuniting the current of Love, will be able to withdraw."
