How one who lives in the Divine Will encloses all Creation within
herself, and is the reflector of her Creator. Two effects of sin.

My days always alternate between the privations and the short visits of
my sweet Jesus; and many times He is like a flash that escapes; and as
He escapes, I remain with the piercing nail: when will He come back?

And, sighing, I call Him: “My Jesus, come come back to your little exiled
one; come back once and for all. Come back to bring me to Heaven; do
not leave me in my long exile any longer, for I can bear no more.” But
as much as I called Him, my calls were in vain. So, abandoning myself

in His Holy Divine Volition, I did my usual acts as much as I could, going
around through the whole Creation.

And my sweet Jesus, moved to compassion for my poor soul, that could
bear no more, put out an arm from within my interior and, all pity, told
me: “My daughter, courage, do not stop let your flight in My Eternal Will
be continuous. You must know that My Will does Its continuous office in

all created things, and Its act is distinct in each thing It does not do in
the heavens what It does in the sun, nor in sun what It does in the sea.
My Will has Its special act in each thing; and even though My Will is

creature. Therefore, if your act is not continuous, My Will does not wait
for you It follows Its course, but It leaves in you the void of Its acts, and
a certain distance and dissimilarity remains between you and My Will.

“Now, you must know the great good that you enclose by enclosing
within yourself all that My Will does in the Creation. While you follow Its

acts, you receive the reflection of the heavens, and the heavens are
formed and extended in you; you receive the reflection of the sun, and
the sun is formed in you; you receive the reflection of the sea, and the
sea is formed in you. You receive the reflection of the wind, of the

flower, of all nature in sum, of everything; and, oh! how the heavens
