does not have its origin in God, inflates the creature, it empties her of
grace. And all these goods that do not have their origin in God, but start

with a human origin, are like works swept away by a mighty wind that,
with its power, reduces cities, villas, sumptuous houses, to dust and
makes of them a heap.

“How many times a mighty wind destroys and knocks down the most
beautiful works of art and of ingenuity, making fun, with its fury, of those

works so praised and admired! How many times the mighty wind of self-
esteem, of self-glory, the furious wind of pleasing creatures, knock
down the most beautiful works, and I feel the nausea of that very good!
“Therefore, there is no remedy that is more effective, more appropriate,

more healing, and that blocks the fury of these winds within the soul,
than the power of the light of My Will, and the eclipse formed by it.

Wherever this power, this eclipse formed by Divine Light, is present,
these winds are prevented from blowing, and the creature lives under
the vital influence of a Divine Will, in such a way that the seal of the Fiat
can be seen in all of her acts, both small and great. So, her motto is:

‘God wants it, I want it. If He does not want it, neither do I want it.’
“In addition to this, My Will maintains perfect balance in the whole
Creation. It maintains the balance of love, of goodness, of mercy, of

fortitude, of power and even of justice. Therefore, when you hear of
chastisements and of troubles, it is nothing other than the effect of My
balanced Will that, as much as It loves the creature, is not subject to

becoming unbalanced; otherwise It would be defective and weak, if It
lost Its balance. Indeed, all the order and the sanctity of It is here: in Its
perfect balance always the same, without ever changing.

“Now, My daughter, firstborn of My Will, listen to something beautiful
about My Supreme Fiat. With the soul who lives in It and allows It to
reign in order to let It form Its Kingdom, My Will, bi-locating Itself,

transfers Its perfect balance into her. So, the soul feels balanced in
love, in goodness, in mercy, in fortitude, power and justice. And since
Creation is extremely vast, in which My Volition exercises Its distinct act

of balance in each thing, as the soul possesses this balance, My Will
elevates her and expands her so much, as to make her find in all of her
acts the balance of both one and the other, unifying them, and
rendering them inseparable.
