It wasn't only My Humanity that, though in a more special way...
was hiding My Divinity and My Will.
Áll created things and the very creatures are veils that hide Our Divinity and Our Adorable Will. Even Heaven is a veil that hides Our Immense Divinity, Our Firmness and Immutability. While the variety of stars hides the multiple effects that Our Immensity, Firmness and Immutability possess.
O! If man could see Our Divinity revealed under that blue vault, without the veil of that blue that covers Us and hides Us, his littleness would remain crushed under Our Majesty. He would walk trembling, feeling continuously upon him the gaze of a Pure, Holy, Strong and Powerful God.
But since We Love man, We veil Ourselves.
Lending Ourselves secretly to all that is needed.

The sun is the veil that hides Our Shining Majesty. We must perform a miracle to restrain Our Uncreated Light so as not to scare the creature. Veiled by this light Created by us, We approach the creature, kissing her and warming her.
We lay this veil of light even under her steps—on the right, on the left, under her head. We even fill her eye with light, and, who knows, maybe the frail pupil of her eye will recognize Us. But no, in vain—she takes only the veil of light that hides Us and We remain the unknown God in the middle of the creatures.
What Pain!
The wind too, is a veil that hides Our Empire. The air is a veil, hiding Our Life that continuously gives to the creatures. The sea is a veil, that hides Our Purity, Our Refreshments and Divine Freshness—its murmuring hides Our continuous Love, and when We see We are not listened to, We even storm in huge waves so as to be recognized and loved.
For every Good that man receives, Our Life is hidden inside.
Offering that Good to him.

Our Divinity Loves man so much...
that It even hides inside the earth, making it firm and stable under his steps, not allowing him to vacillate. Even in the singing bird, in the flowered fields, in the various sweetnesses of the fruits—Our Joys, to make him taste the innocent delights of our Divine Being.
And how much more could I tell you about the many Prodigies of Love by which We are veiled and hidden inside man? We veil Ourselves in the breathing, in the heartbeat, in the motion, in the memory, in the intellect, in the will. We veil Ourselves in the pupil of his eyes, in his word, in his love, and—O! how Painful it is not to be recognized or loved.
We can say that We Live in him, We carry him and We let Ourselves be carried by him. He could do nothing without Us. But still, We live together without knowing each other. What Pain! If only he knew Us.
The life of man was supposed to be the first, the Greatest Prodigy of Our Love and Omnipotence. We had only to offer him, from within its veils, Our Sanctity and Our Love, covering him with Our Beauty—making him enjoy Our Delights.
But since he does not recognize Us, he keeps Us like the far away God—away from himself. If We are not recognized, We cannot give Our Goods to the blind. He is forced to live under the nightmare of his own miseries and passions.
Poor man, who does not recognize Us, either in the veils that hide Us within him, or in the veils of each created thing. He just keeps running away from Our Life and from the scope for which he was Created. So, many times, when We cannot tolerate his ingratitude, the very Goods contained in Our veils are turned into chastisement for him.
Therefore, do recognize that you are nothing other than a veil hiding your Creator, in order for you to receive, and for Us to administer, Our Divine Life in all your acts. Recognize It in the veils of all created things, so that all may help you to receive a Good so Great.
