The substance of My Divine Will is Light.

And everything It does can be called effects of this Light. 

So, for one who lets herself be dominated by It, one will be the act, but as the substance of Light that it possesses, she will feel its many effects, that it will produce as the effect of its Light—the works, the steps, the word, the thoughts, the heartbeats of My Will in the creature. Therefore she can say: ‘I am a single act of Supreme Will—everything else is nothing other than the effects of Its Light.’

The effects of this Light are admirable. They take on all resemblances, all forms—of works, of steps, of words, of pains, of prayers, of tears, but all animated by the Light, forming such variety of beauties, that your Jesus remains enraptured. 

-

Just like the sun... 

that animates everything with its light... 

but does not destroy or change things. 

Rather, it places from its own and communicates the variety of colors, the diversity of sweetnesses, making them acquire a virtue and a beauty that they did not possess. 

So My Divine Will is—without destroying anything of what the creature does. 

On the contrary, It animates them with Its Light...

It embellishes them, and communicates...

to them Its Divine P.o.w.e.r.
