according to his capacity of creature, We enriched him with all the
particles

of Our Divine Being. The whole of the Divinity was intent on loving man
and on pouring Itself into him. From the very first instant of his life, he
felt all the strength of Our Love, and from the depth of his heart, he

expressed, with his own voice, love for his Creator.

“Oh! how happy We felt in hearing Our work, the statue made by Us,

speaking, loving Us and with perfect love. It was the reflection of Our
Love that came out of him. This love had not been contaminated by his
will, and therefore his love was perfect, because he possessed the
fullness of Our Love. Until then, of all the things created by Us, not one

thing had said to Us that it loved Us. Now, in hearing that man loved Us,
Our joy, Our contentment, was so great, that as the fulfilment of Our
feast, We constituted him king of all the universe, and the most beautiful

jewel of Our creative hands.

How beautiful man was in the first times of his creation. He was Our
reflection, and these reflections gave him so much beauty as to

enrapture Our Love, and render him perfect in all of his acts: perfect
was the glory he gave to his Creator; perfect his adoration, his love, his
works. His voice was so harmonious as to resound in the whole

Creation, because he possessed the Divine harmony, and the harmony
of that Fiat that had given him life.

“Everything was order in him, because Our Will brought him the order of
his Creator; It rendered him happy, and made him grow in Our
Likeness, and according to Our words: ‘Let Us make man in Our Image

and Likeness.’ Each one of his acts, done in the Unity of the Light of the
Supreme Fiat, was a tint of Divine Beauty that he acquired. Each word
of his was one more harmonious note that resounded. Everything was
love in him; in everything, he sang the praises of Our Glory, of Our

Power and infinite Wisdom; and everything heavens, sun and earth
brought him the joys, the happiness and the love of He who had created
him.

“If you could form a statue the way you liked the best, and then you
poured all of yourself into it, giving it all the vital humours, and with the
empire of your love you gave life to it—how much would you not love it?
