Divine Will for every day of the year - April 22, 1927 Volume 21

Continuing in my usual state, my sweet Jesus made Himself seen as a child, all afflicted; and His sadness was such that it seemed as if He felt Himself dying.  I squeezed Him to my heart, I kissed Him several times—who knows what I would have done to cheer Him.  

And Jesus, sighing, told me:  “My daughter, look at how beautiful is the whole Creation—what charm of light, what enchantment of variety and of rare beauty; yet, these are nothing but ornaments of Our Divine Being.  If Our ornaments are such, Our Being surpasses Our very ornaments in an incomprehensible way, and the creature is incapable of comprehending the whole incomprehensibility of Our Being.  Just as the eye is incapable of enclosing within itself the whole vastness of the light of the sun—it sees it, it fills itself with light, as much as it can contain of it; but as for enclosing the whole of it, or measuring the length and breadth of the extension of the light, this is impossible for it—such is Our Divine Being for the human capacity.  

“It is Our ornaments that man always sees and touches with his own hand:  he sees the sun, he touches its light, that makes him feel its heat; he sees the immensity of the waters of the sea; he sees the azure vault of the heavens with many stars; but as for knowing what the light is made of, how much light it contains, how much water the sea contains, how many stars there are in that azure vault, and what it is made of—he will not be able to say anything about it.  He sees and enjoys all this, but he is the first little ignorant one in arithmetic, weight and measure.  If it is so with Our ornaments, much more so with Our Divine Being.

“However, you must know that all Creation, and each created thing, gives lessons to man.  They narrate Our Divine Qualities, and each one of them gives lessons in the Quality it contains.  The sun gives lessons in light, and teaches that in order to be light, one must be pure, stripped of every matter.  Light always contains heat united with it—one cannot separate the light from the heat; so, if you want to be light, you must love your Creator alone, and this will bring you, like sun, the fecundity of good.  

“The heavens give you lessons about My Celestial Fatherland; they call you continuously to your Creator; they give you lessons in detachment from what is earth, in the height of sanctity that you must reach, and how you must adorn yourself with all the Divine virtues, more than stars.  So, each thing gives lessons, and calls man to reflect himself in them, in order to copy them and imitate them.  I did not put out My ornaments only for them to be seen, but so that, by imitating them, the creature might adorn herself with them.  Yet, who pays attention to listen to so many lessons?  Almost no one.”  And all afflicted, He kept silent. …
