So I thought to myself: “But what becomes of this Holy Volition that has so much interest of forming Its Life in the creature, that It moves Heaven and earth in order to obtain Its Intent? And what difference is there between the Divine Will as Life, and the Divine Will as effect?”
And my always Lovable Jesus, clasping me in His arms, with an unspeakable goodness told me: “My blessed daughter, there is nothing more beautiful, more welcome, and that pleases and glorifies Us more, than to form the Life of Our Divine Volition in the creature. In her is formed a little paradise where Our Supreme Being delights to descend in order to make His sojourn. Do you see, instead of one paradise We have two, in which We find Our harmonies, the beauty that enraptures Us, the pure joys that double Our happiness, because of having formed an additional Life of Ours in the little circle of the creature. In this paradise, for however little, for as much as the creature can be capable of, We find everything; everything is Ours. Rather We find the littleness that enamors Us more, and We contemplate Our divine art, that in the little, by the virtue of Our power, We have enclosed the great. We can say that by Our labyrinth of love We have transmuted things: the great in the little, and the little in the great. Without a divine prodigy of Ours, We could not form either Our Life or Our paradise in the creature. And does it seem little to you to have one more life of Ours, and a doubled paradise at Our disposal, in order to make Us all the more happy?
“You must know that neither the sky, nor the sun, nor all Creation, cost Us so much. Nor have We placed either so much mastery of art, or so much love, as We placed in forming Our Life all of Our Will in the creature, in order to form for Ourselves one more paradise to patronize at Our leisure and enjoy Our delights. The sky, the sun, the sea, the wind, and everything, narrates He who has created them. They point to Us, they make Us known, they glorify Us, but they do not give Us one life of Ours, nor do they form one other paradise of Ours for Us; rather, they serve her or him in whom Our paternal goodness has taken the commitment of forming Our Life. …”
