All Creation says: 

‘Glory and adoration to our Creator, love to creatures!’ 

So Creation is a mute glory and adoration for Us. Because no freedom was conceded to It - either to grow, or to decrease. We issued It from Ourselves, but We kept It within Us – that is in Oúr Will - to sing, though mute, the praises of Our power, beauty, magnificence and glory. 

So We Oursélves sing the praises of Our own power, of Our glory, of Our infinite love, power, goodness, harmony and beauty. Creation gives Us nothing by Itself. 

Although, being the outpouring of all Our Divine Being, It serves man as mirror, in order to look at and to know his Creator. And It gives to him sublime lessons of order, of harmonies, of sanctity, and of love. 

One could say that the Creator Himself, assuming the attitude of Divine Master, gives as many lessons for as many things as He created. From the greatest to the littlest work which came out of His creative hands.

-

It was not so in creating man. 

Our love for him was so great as to surpass all the love We had in Creation. Therefore We endowed him with reason, memory, and will. And placing Our Will within his, as though on a counter, We wanted him to multiply It, to increase It a hundredfold. 

Not for Us, who did not need it. But for his own good, that he might not remain like the other created things - mute and fixed in that point at which We issued them - but he might grow ever more in glory, in riches, in love, and in the likeness of his Creator. 

-

And so that he might find all possible imaginable aids... 

We gave him Our Will at his disposal. 

That he might achieve, with Our very power, the good, the growth and the likeness of his Creator that he wanted to acquire.

-

In creating man, Our love wanted to play a risky game... 

by placing Our things within the little circle of the human will, as though on a counter: Our beauty, wisdom, sanctity, love, etc. 

And Our Will was to become the guide and the actor of his operating, not only to make him grow in Our likeness, but to give him the shape of a little god. 

Therefore, Our sorrow was great in seeing these great goods being rejected by the creature. And for the time being, Our risky game failed.

-

But even though it failed... 

it was always a divine game, which could and had to make up for its failure. Therefore, after many years, my love wanted to gamble again, and It did so with my Immaculate Mama. 

In Her, Our game did not fail. It obtained its full effect, and therefore We gave Her everything, and We entrusted everything to Her. Even more, we competed – We in giving, She in receiving.

-

Now, you must know that Our love wants to play this risky game with you also, so that you, united with the Celestial Mama, may let Us win the game. 

By allowing Us to make up for the failure which the first man, Adam, caused Us. And so that Our Will, restored in Its victories, may place Its goods in the field once again, which with so much love It wants to give to creatures. 

And just as through the Holy Virgin - because I had made up in my game - I made the Sun of Redemption rise in order to save the lost humanity... in the same way, through you, I will make the Sun of my Will rise again, that It may follow Its course in the midst of creatures.

This is the reason for so many graces of mine which I pour into you, and for the many knowledges about my Will: it is nothing else but my risky game which I am forming in you. 

Therefore be attentive, that you may not cause Me the greatest sorrow I could receive in the whole history of the world: the failure of my second game. Ah, no, you will not do this to Me - my love will be victorious, and my Will will find Its fulfillment.”
