✞ Signs to know whether the soul is in Grace.
I felt my little intelligence being as though captured and as though transported to look at my little newborn Jesus on the lap of my Celestial Mama – now crying, now wailing, now all numb, shivering with cold. Oh! how my little soul would want to melt in love in order to warm Him and calm His crying. But my celestial and charming Little Baby, calling me close to Himself in the arms of His Mama, told me: “My daughter of the Divine Volition, come to listen to my lessons. In descending from Heaven to earth to form the Redemption, I was to form the new Eden, I was to restore the first act, and the beginning of the creation of man, in my Humanity. So, Bethlehem was the first Eden. I felt within my little Humanity all the strength of Our Creative Power, the ardor of Our Love with which man was created; I felt the fibers of his innocence, of his sanctity, of his dominion with which he was invested. I felt within Me that happy man - oh! how I loved him; and since he had lost his place of honor, I took back his place, because it was befitting for Me to first place in Me the order of how man was created, and then descend into his misfortune in order to lift him up again and place him in safety.
Therefore, in Me there were two continuous acts, fused in one – the happy Eden with which I was to place in force all the beauty, the sanctity, the sublimity of the creation of man; he was innocent and holy, and I, surpassing him, was not only innocent and holy, but was the Eternal Word; and having within Me all possible and imaginable power, and an immutable Will, I was to completely reorder the beginning of the creation of man, and lift the fallen man up again. Otherwise, I would not act as God, nor would I love him as Our work, come out and created in an ardor of Our Love. Our Love would feel stopped and as though impotent – which cannot be – had I not completely mended the lot of fallen man, and the destiny of the way he was created. It would have been a slash to Our Creation, and it would have accused Us of weakness, had We not restored man completely. Therefore, Bethlehem was my first Eden, in which I did and embraced all the acts that innocent Adam did, and those which he would have done had he not fallen. Our Divinity expected with justice my requital in his place; and as I kept redoing what innocent Adam would have done, so I lowered Myself and stretched out my hand to lift him up again from his fallen state.
Therefore, as I would go around and stop, my Humanity did nothing other than form new Edens, because in Me there were all the acts of the beginning of the creation of man, and wherever I stopped I could form new Edens with my innocence and holiness. So, Eden was Egypt, Eden was Nazareth, Eden was the desert, Eden was Jerusalem, Eden was mount Calvary; and these Edens that I formed called the Kingdom of my Divine Will to reign, and are sure proofs that, just as I fulfilled the Kingdom of Redemption and It is making Its round to be established in the whole world, so will these Edens, in which all acts were done by Me as if man had not fallen, follow the acts of Redemption, and will make their round to establish the Kingdom of my Divine Fiat. Therefore, I want you always together with Me, that you may follow Me in all my acts and offer everything so that my Divine Will may reign and dominate, because this is what interests your Jesus the most.
Then He added: “My daughter, my Divine Will acted in Me as Queen, because indeed It has always been such. In fact, It is Queen by nature; in Our very Divinity It holds the first place, It rules and dominates all Our attributes; there is not one act of Ours in which It does not hold Its place of Queen. So, It is Queen in Heaven, on earth, in Creation – It reigns in everything and everywhere. Therefore, wanting that man would do Our Divine Will and would give It the place of Queen was the greatest honor and the most insuperable love that We gave him; and as one single Will would reign, We would let him sit at Our divine table, sharing Our divine goods with him. We wanted him happy, and wanted the glory of seeing him happy, whom We had created with so much love with Our creative hands. So, Our Divine Volition and Our Love could neither content themselves nor stop as the mere work of Redemption, but want to move forward, up to work-fulfilled; more so, since We know not how to leave works half-done, and having the centuries at Our disposal, We can reach wherever We want.”
