And how much would you not want it to love you? What would your
jealousy of love be, so that the whole of it would remain at your

disposal, and such that you would not tolerate even one heartbeat that
would not be done for you? Ah! in your statue you would look at
yourself, and therefore, at every little thing not done for you, you would

feel a tearing made to your very self.

“So I am. Everything that the creature does not do for Me are tearings

In sum, everything she does is perfect in her, and this perfection gives
her so many tints of different beauties, as to enamour the Maker who

formed her. This is why I love so much that the Supreme Fiat be known
and form Its Kingdom in the midst of the human generations to establish
the order between Creator and creature, and to return to place Our

goods in common with her. And Our Will alone has this power; without
It, there cannot be much good, nor can Our statue return to Us, as
beautiful as it came out of Our creative hands.”

What the Supreme Fiat does in each created thing, and the lessons

It gives to creatures in order to come and reign in their midst.

I was doing my usual round in the whole Creation, to be able to love

and glorify as the Divine Fiat Itself loves and glorifies in all created
things. But while I was doing this, I thought to myself: “My sweet Jesus
makes me go around through the whole Creation, as though to reach
His Will in all of Its acts, so as to keep It company, to give to Him an ‘I

love You’ of mine, a ‘thank You,’ an ‘I adore You’ of mine, and to ask
