In creating the whole Creation...

with such order and harmony... 

We gave of Our own and were to receive nothing from It. 

But, in creating man, while giving of Our own, We gave him the capacity to give Us Our very gifts as goods belonging to himself, in such a way that We were to give always. 

So much so, that a contest was to arise between him and Us. We in giving, and he in receiving. He in giving to Us, and We in lavishing [kwistig zijn met] Our gifts yet more abundantly upon him.

This giving and receiving, receiving and giving, opened the feasts, the games, the joys, the c.o.n.v.e.r.s.a.t.i.o.n. between Creator and creature. 

-

So in seeing the littleness of the creature celebrate with Our supreme height, amusing itself, rejoicing, conversing with Us...

We felt such joy, such emphasis of love in creating man, that all other created things seemed nothing to Us, compared to the Creation of man. 

And if all of them seemed beautiful to Us and worthy of Our works, and Our Love ran in all created things, it was becáuse they were to serve Us to abound in gifts toward man, and from him We awaited the requital of love of all created things.

-

Therefore, all Our Joy and Glory was centralized in man. 

And in creating him, We placed between him and Us harmony of intelligence, harmony of light, harmony of words, harmony of works and of steps, and in the heart harmony of love. 

So something like many electric wires of harmony passed from Us into him, through which We descended into him, and he ascended to Us. 

This is why We rejoiced so much in creating man, and the sorrow he gave Us in withdrawing from Our Will was so great—because he broke all these harmonies, changed Our feast into sorrow for Us and for himself, destroyed Our highest designs, deformed Our Image that We had created in him.

-

In fact... 

Our Divine Will alone had the virtue of maintaining Our work beautiful, with all the harmonies wanted by Us. 

Once Our Will is removed, man is the most vile [gemeen] and disagreeable being of all Creation.

Therefore, My daughter, if you want all your senses to harmonize with Us, never go out of My Will. If you want to receive always from your Creator and open the feasts with Us... 

let It alone be your life...

your all.
