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.
