But while I was prey to so many thoughts, my highest and only Good, Jesus, clasping me all to Himself, with unspeakable tenderness, told me: “My daughter, My way of operating in your soul symbolizes the whole Creation. Great work was the Creation, but since Our works are orderly, We contented Ourselves with creating little things first—the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sea, the plants and everything else—that is, little in comparison with the creation of man, who was to surpass everything and hold supremacy over everything; and when things must serve he who must master them and be their king, as great as they might be or appear, they are always little compared to him whom they must serve.
“So, after the universe was created and all things were at their place of order, waiting for him around whom, like an ordered army, they were to line up so as to serve him and obey his wishes, We created man. All created things and his very Creator poured themselves over him to sing to him Our Eternal Loves, and say to Him: ‘We all have the mark of our Creator, and we pour it over you, who are His Image.’ Heaven and earth made complete feast, and Our very Divinity celebrated with so much love the creation of man, that at the mere memory of it, Our Love seethes so strongly that, overflowing, it forms immense seas around Us.
“Now, the Kingdom of My Divine Will is greater than the work of Creation, and therefore, it can be said, it is the call for Our Divine Being to operate more than Creation Itself. So, everything I did in your soul at the beginning symbolizes the Creation. I wanted you all to Myself and all Mine, so as to be free to do what I wanted; I wanted the void of everything in your soul, to be able to lay My heaven; and the many sayings on the virtues were stars that, practiced by you in the way wanted by Me, I used in order to adorn the heaven I had extended in you.
“Therefore, I wanted to redo in you and be repaid for everything evil and unworthy that the human family had done; in order to call back the Sun of My Divine Fiat, it was necessary to prepare with decorum she who was to receive, as the first, the Life of My Divine Will. This is why, then, I made flow seas of grace, the most beautiful flowerings, almost as in the creation of man, in whom My Divine Fiat was to reign. The same in you: everything I did placed itself in waiting, like a Divine army, to form the cortege of the Sun of My Eternal Will. And just as in Creation We abounded so much in creating so many things that were to serve man, but because this man was to let My Divine Will reign within himself, the same in you: everything has been done so that My Will would find Its place of honor and of glory.
“This is why it was necessary that first I was to prepare you with many graces and teachings, as little things compared to the great Sun of My Divine Volition, that, with Its many manifestations, while making Itself known, formed Its life in order to reign and form Its first Kingdom in the creature. Therefore, do not be surprised—this is the order of Our Wisdom and Providence, that does little things first and then the great, as cortege and as decorum of the great things. What does My Divine Fiat not deserve? What is not owed to It? And what has not been done by It? Therefore, when it is about My Will, or about making It known, Heaven and earth prostrate themselves, reverent, and all adore in mute silence even just one act of My Divine Will.”
