So if It Created Heaven, It called you... 

in that blue vault, saying: ‘My daughter, come and see how Beautiful is the Heaven I’ve Created for you. I Created It to make you a Gift. Come and receive this Great Gift. If you don’t listen to Me, I cannot give it to you, and you leave Me here, calling you constantly, holding the Gift in My Hands. But I won’t stop calling you until I see you possessing My Gift.’

Heaven has such a great expanse that the earth is like a little hole compared to it. Therefore, everyone has his own place—one Heaven for each. And I call everyone by name to give them the Gift. 

But what is not the Pain of My Will in calling again and again without being heard, while they look at Heaven as if it were not a Gift for them?

This Will of Mine Loves so much that, as It Created the sun... 

It called you with Its voices of Light, going in search for you, and for all, to give it as a Gift. Therefore, your name is written in the sun, with characters of Light—there is no way I can forget it. 

And as its light descends from its sphere to reach you, it is calling you always.... It is not satisfied in calling you from the height of its sphere, but Loving you more and more, it wants to go down to the bottom, to tell you by means of light and heat: ‘Receive My Gift. I Created this sun for you!’ 

And if It is heard, how festive It becomes! 

Seeing that the creature possesses the sun as her own property

—as a Gift received from her Creator.

My Will calls you everywhere and in every place. 

It calls you in the wind: now with authority, now with moans, now as if wanting to cry, to move you to listen, so that you may receive the Gift of this element. It calls you in the sea, through its murmuring, to tell you: ‘This sea is yours. Take it as a Gift from Me.’ 

Even in the air you breathe, in the singing little bird... 

It calls you to say: ‘I give you everything as a Gift.’

-

Now, if the soul responds to the call, the Gift is Confirmed. 

If she does not respond, the Gifts remain suspended between Heaven and earth. 

In fact, if My Will calls, it is because It wants to be called, to maintain the exchange between Itself and the creatures—to make Itself known and to make Incessant Love arise between Itself and the one who Lives in Its Fiat. 

It is easier to hear Its many Calls only for those who Live in the Divine Will. Since at the same time It calls her from within Its Works, It also makes Itself heard in the depth of her soul—calling from both sides.
