stars, like a pavilion for him, such that neither kings nor emperors can
have one like it.

“But I did not content Myself with centralising My Love for man in the
heavens, that were to serve him as pure delight. Wanting to delight in

love with him, I wanted to create the sun, centralising so much love for
man in the sun. I loved man in the sun not the sun, and therefore I
placed in it love of necessity, because the sun was necessary for the

earth, having to serve the plants and the well-being of man; love of light,
that was to illuminate him; love of fire, that was to warm him; and all the
effects that this sphere produces, that are innumerable a continuous

formed the heart, so did I centralise My Love. And after I clothed him
with flesh, forming as though the most beautiful statue that no other

artisan could ever make, I looked at him, and I loved him so much that,
unable to contain My Love, it overflowed; and breathing on him, I
infused life in him.

“But We were not content. In an excess of love, the Sacrosanct Trinity
wanted to endow him, giving him intellect, memory and will; and
