tightly in my arms, I may render you firm and confident along the path of Its

Divine Kingdom.

Now, my child, follow Me before the Supreme Majesty, and listen to Me.
With my rapid flights, I would reach Their divine arms, and upon arriving, I

would feel Their overflowing love which, like mighty waves, covered Me

with Their love. Oh! how beautiful it is to be loved by God. In this love one
feels happiness, sanctity, infinite joys, and one feels so embellished, that

God Himself feels enraptured by the striking beauty He infuses in the
creature in loving her.

I wanted to imitate Them, and, though little, I did not want to remain behind

Their love. So, from the waves of love They had given Me, I would form my

waves, in order to cover my Creator with my love. In doing this, I would
smile, because I knew that my love could never cover the immensity of

Their love. But in spite of this, I would try, and my innocent smile would

arise on my lips. The Supreme Being would smile at my smile, making
feast and amusing Himself with my littleness.

Now, in the middle of our loving stratagems, I remembered the painful state

of my human family upon earth, for I too was of their offspring and how I
grieved and prayed that the Eternal Word would descend and put a remedy

to it. And I would say this with such tenderness as to reach the point of

changing smile and feast into crying. The Most High was so moved by my
tears, more so, since they were the tears of a little one; and pressing Me to

the divine bosom, They dried my tears and said to Me: “Daughter, do not

cry, pluck up courage. Into your hands We have placed the destiny of
mankind; We gave You the mandate, and now, to console You more, We

make of You the Peacemaker between Us and the human family. So, to

You it is given to reconcile us. The power of Our Will that reigns in You
compels Us to give the kiss of peace to poor humanity, decayed and

unsafe.”
