My Will makes her abound with everything; even more, It is jealous that
others might offer something to her, because It alone wants to give

everything to Its daughter. In fact, wherever My Divine Will reigns, there
is no fear that natural means and abundance of goods might do harm;
on the contrary, the more means she has and the more abundance she

enjoys, the more she looks at the power, the goodness, the richness of
the Supreme Fiat in them, and she converts everything into most pure
gold of Divine Will.

“So, the more My Will gives to her, the more It feels glorified in carrying
out Its life in the creature, in offering Its own things to the one who lets It
dominate and reign. It would be absurd if a very rich father had poor

children such a father would deserve to be condemned. And besides,
what would be the purpose of his riches if the birth that came from his
own body his very children conducted a life of hardships and miseries?

Would it not be a dishonour for this father, and an unbearable bitterness

sharp and penetrating sight, in such a way that she penetrates into the
natural things, that hide It as a veil; and tearing these veils, in the
natural things she finds the noble Queen of the Divine Will reigning and

dominating within her. So, natural things disappear for her, and in all
things she finds that adorable Will that she possesses; she kisses It,
she adores It, and everything becomes Divine Will for the soul.
Therefore, each additional natural thing is one new act of Divine Will for

her, that she possesses. So, natural things are means for one who is
child of My Will, in order to make known more what My Will does, can
do, and possesses, and to what excessive point It loves the creature.

“Do you want to know, then, why creatures lack natural means, and
many times these are snatched away from them, and they reduce
themselves to the most squalid misery? First, because they do not
possess the fullness of the Supreme Fiat; second, because they
