why I have so much interest in making My Will known, and that It reign
in the midst of creatures? Because It alone is the means to be able to
redo the creature, and It places Me and her in the condition of being
able I, to give, and she, to receive. Until My Will returns triumphant and
dominating into the midst of creatures, I will not be able to give what I
want, and they will lack the capacity, the space to be able to receive
what I can and want to give.
“In fact, My Will alone has this virtue, this power that, establishing order
and balance between Creator and creature, It opens all the ways of
communication between them: God has His royal path in order to be
able to send His gifts with no danger, descend whenever He wants, and
bring, personally, His greatest goods to her; and the creature,
possessing the same path, can receive Him, or ascend in order to go,
herself, to take what her Lord wants to give her.
“As rich and powerful as a king might be, if he finds no one to whom to
give, he will never have the contentment, the satisfaction of being able
to give; his riches will remain idle, isolated, abandoned. Perhaps he will
live drowned within his own riches, but he will never have the
contentment, the happiness to give and to let others enjoy his goods,
because he finds no one to whom to give them. This king will be a king
isolated, abandoned, without cortege; he will have no one who smiles at
him, who says to him a ‘thank you’; it will never be feast for him,
because the feast is formed by giving and by receiving. So, with all his
riches, this king will have a nail in his heart, abandonment, monotony;
he will be rich, but without glory, without heroism, without name. What
sorrow for this king, with all his riches!
“Now, My daughter, the reason for which We issued the Creation and
created man was to give Our riches, so that the external glory of Our
works may unite to the internal Glory and the immense Happiness that
We possess. So, since the creature is not in Our Will, We feel her far
away from Us; there is no one who surrounds Us with her ‘thank You,’
nor anyone who smiles at Us with delight for Our works. Everything is
isolation; We are surrounded by immense riches, but because Our
creatures are far away from Us, We have no one to whom to give them;
We have no one who admires Our works in order to enjoy them.
