After this, my mind remained so compenetrated by the sorrow of the
Supreme Will that, as the whole Creation kept standing before my mind,

to my highest sorrow I could see this noble Queen veiled in each
created thing, serving all creatures. It acted as servant in the sun,
serving them by giving them light and heat; It acted as servant in the

water, by offering it to their lips to quench their thirst; It acted as servant
in the sea, to offer them the fish; It acted as servant in the earth, by
giving them fruits, food of every kind, flowers and many other things.

In sum, I could see It in all things, veiled with sadness, because It was
not decorous for It to serve the creatures. On the contrary, it was
unbefitting for Its nobility of Queen to act as servant of ungrateful and
perverted creatures, who were using Its servitude without even looking

at It, without saying a “thank You,’ or remunerating It with any

regard My Supreme Will, in order to make Its way into the midst of
creatures, so as to form Its Kingdom. It serves your sight in order to let
you look at what you write; your mouth, to feed you the words; your

heart, to let it palpitate with Its own Volition. What difference! It is happy
to serve you, because It serves Itself It serves to form Its life; It serves
the knowledge of Itself, Its own sanctity; It serves to form Its Kingdom.

My Will reigns in you while you pray, and It serves you by making you
fly within Itself, to let you do Its acts, and to let you take possession of
Its goods. This way of serving of My Will is glorious, is triumphant, is
