How the Divine Will assumes all forms in order to give Itself to the creature.

My abandonment in the Divine Volition continues; I feel that Its invincible power absorbs me into Itself, and in so many ways, that I cannot do without following Its acts. Now, while I was following the acts of the Divine Will done in Creation, my lovable Jesus told me:

“My daughter, the love of my Divine Fiat toward creatures is so great, that It assumes all forms in order to give Itself to the creature. It assumes the form of heavens, to remain stretched out over his head; and by remaining perennially extended, It embraces him from all sides, guides him, protects him, defends him, without ever withdrawing, remaining always heavens, in order to form Its heaven in the heart of the creature. It assumes the form of stars, and It makes Its meek twinkling sweetly descend upon the creature, to caress her with Its kiss of light and penetrate sweetly into her, that It may form the stars of the most beautiful virtues in the heaven of her soul.

It assumes the form of sun, to irradiate her with light, and with Its vibrant heat, descend into the depth of her soul; and with the strength of Its light and heat, It forms the tints of the most beautiful colors in order to form the Sun of Its Fiat in the creature. It assumes the form of wind, to purify her; and with Its empire, blowing, It maintains the Divine Life lit; and as It blows, It makes It grow in the heart of the creature.

My Divine Will lowers Itself to everything, and Its love is so great, that It constitutes Itself life of everything that can serve the creature; and It reaches the point of assuming the form of air, to let Itself be breathed; of food, to nourish her; of water, to quench her thirst.
In sum, there is nothing of which the creature makes use, in which my Will does not run together in order to give Itself incessantly to the creature.

But how does she correspond to Me – to the many multiple ways which my Fiat assumes in order to besiege the creature; to the so many loving forms, such that, if she does not recognize It in one way, she may recognize It in another; if one form does not breach into her, another might breach through, to receive at least a gaze, a smile of satisfaction, an invitation to let It descend into her soul to reign, a “thank You‟ of gratitude at Its so many follies of love? Ah! how many times my Divine Will is left there with the creature paying no attention to It. What sorrow – how pierced It remains.

But in spite of this, It does not stop, It continues incessantly and with Its firmness, all divine, to make Its Divine Life flow within all created things, to offer, beneath their veil, Its Life to all, waiting with invincible patience for one who must recognize It and receive It, so as to form Its Life under human appearances and form, and therefore reign completely in all the things created by Us.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:

“Adorable Majesty, I come before You to bring You my small interest of my
“I love You‟,
“I adore You‟,
“I glorify You‟,
“I thank You‟,
“I bless You‟, to give You my small interest because You have given me a heaven, a sun, an air, a sea, a flowery earth, and everything that You have created for me. May You receive this small interest of mine, so that we may always be in agreement; and keep the whole Creation, given to me by You as little daughter of your Will, safe inside the little bank of my soul.‟
