Each created thing...
calls the creature to do the Divine Will.
They are without voice and they speak - but speak according to the act that the Divine Volition carries out in them. In fact, each created thing carries out a distinct act of Divine Will, and with that act it calls the creature to do Its Divine Will.
Each created thing has received from God, for this purpose, a special delight, in order to attract the creature in a mysterious way to do His Divine Will. This is the reason for the order, the harmony of all Creation around the creature.
In such a way that...
the sun calls with its light, and unleashing its heat, it calls her to do the Will of her Creator. And My Divine Fiat, hidden under the veils of the light, calls with insistence, without ever withdrawing, to receive Its life, so as to be able to carry It out as It does in the sun.
And almost to assail [bestormen, aanvallen] her so as to make itself listened to, it invests the creature from all sides—to the right, to the left, over her head, it extends even under her feet, to say to her with its mute language of light:
‘Look at me! Listen to me!—how beautiful I am, how much good I do to the earth, because a Divine Will reigns and dominates my light. And you—why don’t you listen to me with my touch of light, so as to receive the Life of the Divine Will, to let It reign in yoú?’
The heavens speak to you...
with the meek twinkling of the stars.
The wind with its empire, the sea with its murmuring and with its tumultuous waves, the air speaks to you in the breathing, in the heartbeat, the little flower with its fragrance.
In sum, all created things compete among themselves in calling you to receive My Will in order to let It reign, so that Heaven and earth may be nothing other than an act of Divine Will.
Oh! if creatures l.i.s.t.e.n.e.d. to the many voices of Creation that, though mute, are yet real and always present in their midst—they would surrender to letting It reign, as It reigns with Its full triumph in all things created by Us.
