After forty years and more... 

without going out in the open air... 

today they wanted to take me out into the garden on a wheelchair. Now, as I went out, I found myself with the sun investing me with its rays, as if it wanted to give me its first greeting and its kiss of light. 

I wanted to give it tit for tat by giving it my kiss, and I prayed the little girls and the sisters who were accompanying me to all give their kiss to the sun, kissing in it that Divine Will that like Queen was veiled with light. All of them kissed it.

Now, who can say my emotion... 

after so many years... 

in finding myself in front of that sun that my lovable Jesus had used in order to give me so many similes and images of His adorable Will? 

I felt invested not only by its light. But also by its heat. And the wind, wanting to compete with the sun, kissed me with its light breeze, in order to refresh the hot kisses that the sun was giving me. 

So, I felt like they would never stop kissing me—the sun on one hand, and the wind on the other. Oh! how vividly I could feel the touch, the life, the breath, the air, the love of the Divine Fiat in the sun and in the wind. 

I could touch with my own hand... 

how created things are veils... 

that hide that Volition that created them.
