Now, who can say how my poor mind swam in the immensity of the Eternal Will, and what I comprehended? But the point that impressed me the most, was that the Fiat was to surpass even the good of Redemption.
With the addition of a terrible reluctance to manifest what is written above, for fear that obedience would impose on me to write. Oh, how I would have wanted to keep silent! But with the Fiat one cannot argue, because in one way or another the victory must always be Its own.
Then, my sweet Jesus, always benign, coming back told me:
-
“My daughter, it is necessary that you manifest this.
Not for yourself, but for the decorum and the sanctity which befit my Will. Do you think that all the crafting I have done in your soul, for forty years and more, has been only for yourself, and for the love I had and do have for you?
Ah, no! It has been, above all, for the decorum of that which befitted my Will, so that in coming to reign in you, It would find my crafting, my incessant prayers inviting It to come. The throne of my works and of my pains, on which It might dominate and form Its dwelling. The light of Its very knowledge, so that It might find in you Its honors and Its very divine glory.
Therefore, my many manifestations about the Supreme Will were necessary for the decency that befitted It.
-
Now, you must know that my Will is greater and more endless than Redemption Itself. And what is greater always brings greater fruits and goods.
My Will is eternal in time and eternity - It had no beginning, nor will It ever end. On the other hand, though being eternal in the divine mind, Redemption had Its beginning in time, and was a product of the Eternal Will.
So, it was not Redemption that gave life to the Divine Will, but it was my Will that gave life to Redemption. And whatever has the power to give life, by nature and by necessity must become more fruitful than the one who has received life.
-
But this is not all.
In Creation, the Divinity issued from Itself...
the shadows of Its light, the shadows of Its wisdom, of Its power. It touched the whole Creation lightly with Its whole Being. So, the beauty, the harmony, the order, the love, the goodness of God, which can be seen in the whole Creation, are divine similes – shadows of the Supreme Majesty.
On the other hand, my Will – not a simile or a shadow of Ours – came out into the field of Creation as the life of all created things. And so It is life, foundation, support, vivification and preservation of everything that came out of Our creative hands.
Therefore, everything is owed to the Supreme Will.
-
My Redemption Itself bent Its knees before It...
to implore that It would constitute Itself life of each act, heartbeat and suffering of mine - and even of my breathing, so as to let vital aids flow within the creatures in order to save them.
My Redemption can be called the tree...
whose root is the Divine Will.
-
And since It has produced...
the trunk, the branches, the leaves, the flowers...
of all the goods which are present in the Church...
It must therefore produce the fruit of life...
which the root of this tree contains.
Moreover...
the Creation came out from Ourselves...
with the only purpose that Our Will be known...
and loved... more than life itself.
And therefore Our Will constituted Itself life of everything, so as to be fulfilled. All the other things created by Us, and even Redemption Itself, were given as aids in order to facilitate Our purpose.
So, if We do not obtain Our primary purpose, how can We obtain Our complete glory, and how can the creature receive the good established by Us?
