disposes for you, and in anything you are about to do, may your word

be: “Thank You, O Lord; I place everything in your hands.”

Now, while I left everything in the Divine Fiat, since It reigned in Me and
never left Me for one instant of my life, I carried It as though in triumph

within my little soul, and oh! prodigies of the Divine Will with Its

preserving virtue It maintained the order of all my acts, small and great,
as though in act within Me, as Its triumph and mine. So, I never lost

memory of a single act of mine; and this gave Me so much glory and

honour that I felt Queen, because each of my acts done in the Divine
Will was more than sun, and I was studded with light, with happiness,

with joys. The Divine Will brought Me Its Paradise. My child, to live of
Divine Will should be the desire, the yearning, and almost the passion

of all, so great is the beauty that one acquires and the good that one

feels. The complete opposite for the human will; it has the virtue of
embittering the poor creature; it oppresses her, it forms the night, and

she gropes her way, always staggering in good, and many times she

loses the memory of the little good she has done. Now, my child, I
departed from my paternal house with courage and detachment,

because I looked only at the Divine Will, in which I kept my Heart fixed;

and this was enough for Me in everything. But while I was walking to go
to the Temple, I looked at all Creation, and oh! marvel I felt the

heartbeat of the Divine Will in the sun, in the wind, in the stars, in the
heavens; even under my steps I felt It palpitating. And the Divine Fiat

that reigned in Me commanded all Creation, which concealed It like a

veil, to all bow and pay to Me the honour of Queen. And all bowed,
giving Me signs of subjection. Even the tiny little flower of the field did

not spare itself from giving Me its little homage. I put everything in feast,

and when, out of necessity, I would go out of the house, the Creation
would place Itself in the act of giving Me signs of honour, and I was

forced to command them to remain in their place, and to follow the

order of our Creator.
