in them His own Divine Will operating, that has reproduced His true
Images.”

After this, I was thinking to myself: “Before sinning, my first father Adam
possessed all these bonds and relations of communication with all

Creation, because by possessing the Supreme Will as whole, it was as
though natural for him to feel within himself all the communications,
wherever It operated. Now, in withdrawing from this Will so holy, did he

not feel the tearing he made from all Creation? The snapping of all
communications and of all bonds, broken from It as though in one single
breath? If by just thinking of whether I must do an act or not, and by just
hesitating, I feel that the heavens tremble, the sun withdraws, and all

Creation is shaken and is in the act of leaving me alone, so much so
that I myself tremble together with them, and, frightened, immediately,
without hesitating, I do what I must do how could he do that? Did he not

feel this tearing, so harrowing and cruel?”

And Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, Adam felt this
tearing so harrowing, but in spite of this he fell into the maze of his will,

that gave him no more peace, either to him or to his posterity. All
Creation withdrew from him as though in one single breath, and
happiness, peace, strength, sovereignty everything withdrew. He

remained alone with himself. Poor Adam, how much it cost him to
withdraw from My Will. Just by feeling isolated, no longer surrounded by
the cortege of the whole Creation, he felt such fright and horror, that he

became the fearful man. He was afraid of everything even of My very
works; and with reason, because it is said: ‘One who is not with Me is
against Me.’ Since he was no longer linked with them, by justice they

were to put themselves against him.

“Poor Adam, there is much reason to have compassion for him. He had
no example of anyone else who had fallen, and of the great evil that

had occurred to him, so that he might be watchful in order not to fall. He
had no idea of evil. In fact, My daughter, the evil, the sin, the fall of
someone else has two effects: for one who is evil and wants to fall, it

serves as example, as a spur, as an incentive to fall into the abyss of
evil; for one who is good and does not want to fall, it serves as antidote,
as deterrent, as help and defence so as not to fall.
