Genesis 1:26
In the previous blog it spoke of how a creature living in the Divine Will is a daughter of God and all the works of God. Here it speaks of the love of God for the creature and how he was made to not only be a child of all but a king of all as well.
'“My daughter, my love makes Me feel the need to speak of the Creation
of man, already all the Creation is pregnant with our love and speaks,
although in mute language, and if it doesn’t speak, it says with deeds and it is the greatest narrator of our love toward man, and when
our love was extended in everything, in a way that she should find no point
(in) which our love might not cover her, and might race toward her and more
than Sun might dart her. When in everything the Creation was
completed, we created man, but before creating him listen to the story of our love toward Him. Our adorable Majesty had established to construct man
king of all the Creation, to give him
the dominion over everything and to make him master over all our works, but in order
to say true king with deeds, not with words, he had to possess in him(self) all
that which we had scattered in the Creation.
So that in order to be king of the sky, of the sun, of the wind, of the sea and of
everything, he had to possess inside of himself a Sky, a sun, and so on, in a way that the Creation should reflect in him, and he should possess
the same qualities, to reflect in the Creation
and to master it. In fact, if he might
not have an eye full of sight, how could he enjoy the light of the Sun and take of it when he might
want some? If he might not have feet and hands in order to cross the
earth and take that which the earth produces, how could he call himself king of
the earth? If he might not have the
respiratory organ in order to breathe the air, how could he make use of it?
And thus with all the rest. Hence
before creating man we looked at the whole Creation in our emphasis of love and
we exclaimed: how very beautiful are our
works, but among all the most beautiful we will make man, we will centralize
everything in him, in a way that we will find the Creation outside and inside
of him. And as we went molding him, thus
we enclosed in him the Sky of reason, the sun of intelligence, the rapidity of the wind in the thought, the extension of the space, the fortitude, the empire in the will, the motion in the soul in which we
contained the sea of graces, the celestial air of our love and all the senses of the body, as the most beautiful flowering. Oh! Man how very beautiful you are, but not
content with this we put in him the great Sun of our Will, and giving him the
great gift of the word, so that he might with deeds and with words be the eloquent narrator
of his Creator, it was our image with which We delighted
ourselves to enrich him with our most beautiful qualities.
“But not content with of all this, we were taken with love so exuberant
toward him, that our immensity involved him anywhere, everywhere,
and in every instant, our omniclairvoyance looked at him in every thing and
even in the fibers of his heart our Power sustained him, bringing him
everywhere in our Paternal arms; our life, our motion, palpated in his heartbeat, breathed in his breath, worked in his hands, walked in his feet, and arrived to make himself footstool even under his steps; our Fatherly goodness in order to hold this dear son of ours secure, put forth (the) conditions that he could not be separated from Us,
nor We from him. What else couldn’t we
do and didn’t we do? Behold therefore we
love him so much, because he cost us much, we disbursed for him our love, our
power, our Will and we put in attitude our infinite Wisdom, and we didn’t want other than he might love Us, and that freely he
might live in all in our Will and might recognize how much we have loved him
and done for him. These our loving
pretensions, who (so) cruel will want
to deny them? But alas! There is unfortunately some who denies them
and forms there his sorrowful notes in our love. Therefore be attentive and your flight in our Will be continuous.”'

The ability to do always new works endows man as king and Jesus then is the King of kings.

"Instead in
creating man, having to hold our seat in him and hence our dominant and working Will, he didn’t put forth an
enough; no, but he gave (man) the virtue to do a multiplicity of works, of steps, of words, one different from the
other. Our Will in man would remain
impeded if it might not give him the virtue to always
do new works, [making him] not subject to do one work alone, to say the same
word, to move his steps over a single way.
He was created by us as king of the creation, because his Creator having to
live in him, the King of the kings, it was just that he who
formed the residence to our
Divine Being should be the little king who should dominate the same things created by us; and he himself
for our love should hold the power to do not one work alone but many works, new
sciences,
in order to be able to begin new things, also in order to do honor to He who lives inside him, and who holding
himself back with him in familiar conversation, taught him so many beautiful
things to do and to say. Therefore our
love in creating man was insuperable, but so much so that it
should overwhelm all the centuries in order to give love and to ask love and to
form in him the Kingdom of our Divine Will.
We don’t have other goal over creatures nor other sacrifice, if not that they do our Will
and this in order to give him the right of king over himself and created things, and
in order to be able to live in him, with the decorum and honor of ours, that belongs to our citadel and palace.”
