serve to maintain Our amusement on the face of the earth, and Our
continuous feast. So, as We formed his feet, We thought that they were

to serve Our kisses, because they were to enclose Our steps and were
to be our means of encounter, to amuse ourselves together. As We
formed his hands, We thought that they were to serve Our kisses and

embraces, because We were to see in him the repeater of Our works.
“As We formed his mouth, his heart, that were to serve the echo of Our
Word and of Our Love, and as We infused life in him with Our breath, in

seeing that that life had come out of Us it was a life completely Our
own, We clasped him to Our womb and kissed him, as the confirmation
of Our work and of Our Love. And so that he might maintain himself
whole in Our steps, in Our works, in the echo of Our Word and Love,

and of the life of Our Image impressed in him, We gave him Our Divine
Will as inheritance, that It might preserve him just as We had delivered
him, so as to be able to continue Our amusements, Our affectionate

kisses, Our sweet conversations with the work of Our hands.

“When We see Our Will in the creature, We see in her Our steps, Our
works, Our Love, Our words, Our memory and intellect, because We

know that Our Supreme Will, will let nothing enter that is not Our own.
Therefore, being Our own, We give her everything kisses, caresses,
favours, love, tenderness more than paternal nor do We feel like

remaining even at one step of distance from her; more so, since even
the slightest distances cannot form the continuous amusements, nor
exchange kisses, nor share the most intimate and secret joys.

“On the other hand, in the soul in whom We do not see Our Will, We
cannot amuse Ourselves, because We see nothing that is Our own.

Such a disharmony, such a dissimilarity of steps, of works, of words, of
love can be felt in her, that she herself puts herself at a distance from
her Creator; and wherever We see that the powerful magnet of Our Will
is not present, that makes Us as though forget about the infinite

distance that exists between the Creator and the creature, We disdain
to amuse Ourselves with her, and to fill her with Our kisses and favours.
“So, by withdrawing from Our Will, man interrupted Our amusements

and destroyed the designs We had in forming the Creation; and only by
the reigning of Our Supreme Fiat, by establishing Its Kingdom, will Our
designs be realised and Our amusements resumed on the face of the
earth.”
