How the divine love gushed out in Creation. Liberality and magnificence of God in creating the machine of the universe, especially in creating His beloved jewel, with no one’s merit. Decision of the Divine Will of wanting to come to reign in the midst of creatures. Its balsamic air, Its enchanting and enrapturing beauty. What the knowledges about It will do.

I was feeling all abandoned in the Divine Fiat, and I felt my poor mind as though soaked with the light of Its sanctity, beauty and indescribable happiness.  To possess the fount of all goods, to enjoy the expanse of the infinite seas of all joys, to possess all the attractions of inexhaustible beauties, of divine beauties, to the point of enamoring God Himself, and to live in the Divine Volition by letting It reign in one’s soul, is all the same.  Will of God, how lovable, adorable, desirable You are – more than my very life.  Your reigning is reign of light, which has the power of emptying me of what does not belong to its light; it is reign of sanctity, which transforms me, not in the sanctity of the Saints, but in the sanctity of my Creator; it is reign of happiness and of joy, which puts to flight, away from me, all bitternesses, troubles and bothers.  But how can the creatures ever dispose themselves, and merit receiving a Kingdom so great?

Now, while I was thinking about this and my mind was swimming in the expanse of the sea of the Divine Fiat, my lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and pressing me to Himself, all tenderness, told me:  “My little daughter, you must know that Our love gushed out in Creation, and overflowing outside of Ourselves - without anyone having merited such a great good, not even with a single word – Our highest goodness and liberality with no limits created the whole machine of the universe with such great magnificence, order and harmony, for love of the one who did not yet exist.  After this, Our love gushed out more strongly, and We created the one for whom all things had been created.  And since, in operating, We operate always with unreachable magnanimity, and while We are not depleted, We give everything, so that nothing of magnanimity, of greatness and of all goods may be lacking to Our work - in creating man, with no merit at all on his part, as dowry, foundation and substance of all goods, joys and happinesses, we gave him Our Will as his Kingdom, so that he might lack nothing, having a Divine Will at his disposal and, with It, Our Supreme Being.

What honor would Ours have been if the work of Creation had been poor, meager in light, without the multiplicity of so many created things, without order and without harmony, and Our dear jewel, Our dear son, which is man, without the fullness of the goods of the One who had created him?  It would not have been honor for the One who possesses everything and can do everything, to do an incomplete work.  More so since, in gushing out so very strongly, as more than mighty waves, Our love wanted to give - to show off as much as it could, to the point of filling Our beloved jewel with all possible imaginable goods, and forming seas around him, placed in him by His Creator, which would overflow from him himself.  And if man lost this, it is he who rejected, of his own will, the Kingdom of my Will, his dowry and the substance of his happiness. 

Now, as in Creation, my love is gushing out strongly, and it is decided that the Kingdom of my Will wants Its life in the midst of creatures.  Therefore, showing off with all magnificence, without looking at their merits, with insuperable magnanimity it wants to give its Kingdom again.  Only, it wants creatures to know this, and to know Its goods, so that, by knowing them, they might long for and want the Kingdom of sanctity, of light and of happiness.  And just as one will rejected It, so may another one call It, long for It, press It to come to reign in the midst of creatures.  Here is, then, the necessity of the knowledges about It:  if a good is not known, it is neither wanted nor loved.  Therefore, the knowledges will be the messengers, the heralds, which will announce my Kingdom.  My knowledges about my Fiat will take the attitude now of suns, now of thunders, now of bolts of light, now of mighty winds, which will call the attention of the learned and of the ignorant, of the good and also of the evil, falling into their hearts like lightnings, and knocking them down with irresistible strength, to make them rise again in the good of the knowledges acquired.  They will form the true renewal of the world; they will assume all attitudes in order to attract and win the creatures, taking the attitude now of peacemakers, who want the kiss of the creatures to give them their own, so as to forget about all the past and remember only to love each other and make each other happy; now of warriors, sure of their victory, to render sure the conquest they want to make of those who come to know them; now of incessant prayers, which will cease to supplicate only when creatures, conquered by the knowledges of my Divine Will, will say:  ‘You have won – we are now prey to your Kingdom’; now of king, dominating and inspiring love, such that they will lower their foreheads to let themselves be dominated.  What will my Will not do?

It will place the whole of Its power in attitude in order to come to reign in the midst of creatures.  My Will possesses an enrapturing beauty which, if it makes itself seen with clarity even just once, enraptures, embellishes, casting its waves of beauties over the soul, in such a way that they will not easily be able to forget a beauty so rare, and will remain as though in the maze of Its beauty, unable to get out.  It possesses an enchanting power, and the soul remains fixed within Its sweet enchantment.  It possesses a balsamic air, such that, as it is breathed, they will feel, enter into themselves, the air of peace, of sanctity, of divine harmony, of happiness, of the light that purifies everything, of the love that burns everything, of the power that conquers everything, in such a way that this air will bring the celestial balm to all the evils produced by the bad, morbid and deadly air of the human will.  See, also in the human life, air acts in a surprising way.  If the air is pure, good, healthy, fragrant, the respiration is free, the blood circulation is regular, and creatures grow strong, nourished, rosy and healthy.  But if the air is bad, stinking and infected, the respiration is hampered, the blood circulation is irregular; and not receiving the life of the pure air, creatures are weak, pale, gaunt and sickly.  The air is the life of creatures - they cannot live without it; but there is a great difference between good and bad air.  So it is with the air of the soul.  The air of my Will maintains life pure, healthy, holy, beautiful and strong, as it came out from the womb of its Creator.  The deadly air of the human will deforms the poor creature, it makes her descend from her origin, and she grows as sick, weak, such as to arouse pity.”  Then, with a more tender emphasis, He added:  “Oh! my Will, how lovable, admirable, powerful You are!  Your beauty enamors the Heavens and maintains the enchantment that enraptures the whole Celestial Court, in such a way that they are happy not to be able to remove their gazes from You.  O please! with your enchanting beauty that enraptures everything, enrapture the earth; and with your sweet enchantment, enchant all creatures, so that one may be the will of all, one the sanctity, one the life, one your Kingdom, one your Fiat on earth as It is in Heaven.”
