most fresh waters; for his amusement he puts music; he has his
residence surrounded by delightful gardens in sum, he puts everything

that can render him happy, and that is worthy of his royalty.

“Now, as king, he must have his servants, his ministers, his soldiers.

And what happens? These deny the king; and so, instead of the king
being the one who dominates, the servants, the ministers, the soldiers
dominate. What would not be the sorrow of this king in seeing that his

works do not serve him, but, with injustice, they serve his servants, and
he himself is forced to act as the servant of his servants, because,
when a service, a work, serves oneself, one cannot be called servant.
“Now, My Will was to serve Itself in the creatures, and therefore It left

Itself as more than noble Queen in all created things, so that nothing
might be lacking to Its royalty of Queen in the creature. There could be
no one else who would be able to serve My Will worthily, other than My

Will Itself; nor would It have adapted Itself to being served by servants,
because no one would have had Its noble and Divine manners in order
to serve It.

“Now, listen to the great sorrow of My Supreme Will; it is right that you,
who are Its daughter, know the sorrows of your Mother, of your Queen,
and of She who is your Life. In the Creation It acts as the servant of

servants; It serves the human will, because Mine does not reign in the
creatures. How hard it is to serve servants and for many centuries. As
the soul withdraws from My Will to do her own, she puts My Will in

servitude in the Creation.

“Therefore, Its sorrow is great from Queen, acting as servant; nor is

there anyone who can soothe a sorrow so bitter. And if It continues to
remain in the Creation, serving the servants, it is because It is waiting
for Its children; It is waiting for the time when Its works will serve the
children of Its Eternal Fiat, who, letting It reign and dominate within their

souls, will let It serve Its own nobility. Oh! only these children will soothe
a sorrow so long and bitter; they will dry Its tears of so many centuries
of servitude; they will return to It the rights of Its royalty. This is why it is

so necessary to make My Will known, what It does, what It wants, how
It is everything and contains all goods, and Its continuous sorrow
because they do not let It reign.”
