My poor mind was swimming in the immense sea of the Eternal Volition... 

and my sweet Jesus transported me outside of myself... 

in the act in which the sun was rising. 

 

What enchantment... 

to see the earth, the plants, the flowers, the sea, undergoing such a transformation! All of them freed themselves of a nightmare that oppressed them. All rose to the new life which the light gave to them, and acquired their beauty and development, which the light and the heat gave them in order to make them grow. 

The light seemed to take them by the hand in investing them to give fecundity to plants, and color to flowers, to dispel the shadows of darkness from the sea, and give it its silvery shades [tinten] with its light. 

But who can say all the effects that the solar light produced by investing all the earth, covering everything with its garment of light? I would be too long if I wanted to describe everything.

Now, while I was seeing this...

my beloved Jesus told me: 

"My daughter, how beautiful is the rising of the sun. How it changes all of nature. And by transforming it into its very light, it gives to each thing the effects needed to make them produce the good they contain. 

But in order to do this, the light must invest them, touch them, mold them, penetrate so deep into them as to give them sips of light, in order to infuse the life of the good which they must produce. 

So if the plants, the flowers, the sea, did not let themselves be invested by the light, the light would be as though dead for them, and they would remain in the nightmare of darkness, which would serve as the tomb to bury them. 

The virtue of darkness is to give death. The virtue of light is to give life. So, if it wasn’t for the light of the sun, on which all created things are dependent, and from which all of them receive life, nothing good would be on earth. On the contrary, it would be frightening and horrible to the sight.

Therefore, the life of the earth is bound to the light."

[6.5.1926]
