In the first act of the creation of man...
Our Love overflowed so strongly and raised its flames so high...
as to make its arcane [geheimzinnige] voices heard so strong and penetrating, that the heavens, the stars, the sun, the wind, the sea and everything felt invested by mysterious voices, crying out over the head of man: ‘I love you, I love you, I love you.’
These arcane and powerful voices called man. And he, as though stirred [geroerd] from a sweet sleep and feeling enraptured by each ‘I love you’ of Him who had created him, also cried out in his surge of love—in the sun, in the heavens, in the sea, and in everything: ‘I love You, I love You, I love You, oh my Creator!’
Our Divine Will that dominated Adam did not let him lose anything, not even one ‘I love you’ of Ours, to which he would not respond with his own. It was lovely, a sweet enchantment, to hear him, as the power of Our Divine Fiat would take the ‘I love You’ of Our son, the dear jewel of Our Heart, upon the wings of Its light.
And invading the whole Creation, he would make Us hear, in each created thing...
his continuous ‘I love You,’ just like Our own.
Our Divine Will does not know...
how to do broken and interrupted things...
but continuous.
-
As long as Adam possessed his dear inheritance of Our Fiat...
he possessed Its continuous act.
It can be said that he competed with Us. For when We do an act, it no longer ceases. Therefore, everything was harmony between him and Us—harmony of love, of beauty, of sanctity.
Our Fiat let him lack nothing of all Our things.
-
As he withdrew from Our Will...
he lost the way in order to reach Our things...
and formed many voids between himself and Us—voids of love, voids of beauty and of sanctity. And formed an abyss of distance between God and himself.
And this is why Our Fiat wants to return into the creature as fount of life.
To fill these voids and make him return, as a little newborn, into Its arms.
And to give him Its continuous act, just as It created him.”
