Book of Heaven, April 24, 1915: “How can those words spoken by Me in creating
man, ‘Let Us make man in Our Image and Likeness’, be explained? How could the
creature, so incapable, ever resemble Me and be my image? Only in my Will could
he arrive at this, because by making It his own, he comes to operate in a
divine manner; and through the repetition of these divine acts, he comes to
resemble Me - to become my perfect image.”
Book of Heaven, Jan. 3, 1922: …in creating man, We infused Our image and
likeness in him so as to overwhelm him with Our happiness and be reflected and
delighted in him.”
“…the Divine Will
and the human will, which the creature shattered even from the terrestrial
Eden. And the soul who knows no other life but the Life of my Will, rebuilds
It, binds It again, returning to It all the relations which the creature had
broken - relations of creation, of origin of existence. These were bonds of
union between Creator and creature - relations of likeness, sanctity, science,
power. Everything I contain I placed in relationship with man - relations in
the order of all created things, and to him I gave primacy over everything.”
Book of Heaven, Sept. 10, 1928:
“Now, you must know that, indeed, Adam possesses a glory in Heaven which is
given to no one else, as holy as he may be, except for my Celestial Mama,
because no one else possesses even one act in the unity of my Divine
Will. It was just and decorous for Our Divine Majesty that the first creature
that came out of Our creative hands possess more glory than all the others;
more so, since the first period of his life was carried out as We wanted. One
can say that it was Our life, Our Will and Our works that flew within him. How
could We destroy this first period of the life of Adam, since it was more Ours
than his? It is useless even to think about it; whatever is done in Our Divine
Will remains untouchable – no one can touch it, because these acts enter the
divine and infinite order. And even though Adam slipped and fell, his acts
done up to that moment remained intact and beautiful, just as he did them.
He was the one who remained wounded, ill, Our image disfigured in him, because
Our Divine Will, which had taken on the commitment to keep him beautiful,
fresh, strong, holy, completely in order with Us, just as We created him, was
no longer in him, because Adam himself had rejected It. But his works done up
to the moment in which he had the misfortune to fall, and which possessed the
unity of Our Fiat, suffered no change, because We too were jealous of these
acts which had glorified Us so much. They had put Us in feast, as We saw that
man, Our son, elevated himself up to Us in order to absorb within him Our
divine manners, Our likeness, and to bring Us joys, happiness’, the return and
the smile of all created things in the unity of Our Will. We were enraptured in
seeing Our dear son, the work of Our hands, live in Our Will as in Our home;
taking from Our own, he was able to bring Us new happiness’ and joys without
end.
So, by virtue of the first period of his life, innocent and
carried out all in the unity of Our Fiat, Adam possesses such glory and beauty
that no one can equal him. At the mere sight of him, all of the Blessed
recognize how beautiful and majestic the creation of the first man was,
enriched with so much grace. In looking at him, they can see, in him, the
incalculable good of the Divine Will in the creature, and the joy and happiness
that the creature can possess. In him alone, as though within a mirror, the
Blessed can see how man was created, the exuberant love that We had for him,
the abundance with which We enriched him. We gave him everything, as much as a
creature could contain, to the point of overflowing outside and being able to
flood the whole earth. If it were not so – if the whole magnificence of Our
creative hands could not be seen in Adam – then the great things We did in the
Creation, and that which the creature does and can do in Our Divine Will would
not be known even in Heaven. It is Our love that demands this, and also Our
justice that wants to keep, in Heaven, the reality of that image, as man was
created – and not another man, but the very one who came out of Our creative
hands, so that, if the earth does not know him, Heaven may know him. They look
at their origin in Adam, and, grateful, they thank Me and pray that my Fiat may
come to reign upon earth, and form more images, more beautiful than Adam,
because he was not a complete work in my Divine Will, but a period of life.
Only the Sovereign Queen possesses complete life and works in my Fiat,
therefore there is no one who can equal Her. My Will wants to make more
complete lives in It, so as to repeat what It did in the Creation, to make
known to the earth the way and the order in which the creature was created, and
the great, beautiful, holy things that my Divine Will can do in her.
Moreover, you must know that, up to now, I have not manifested
to anyone either the great qualities of Adam, or his sublimity, greatness and
sanctity as he lived his first period of life in the unity of my Will; and by
virtue of his acts done in It, the great glory that he enjoys in Heaven. Many,
on the contrary, believed that since he slipped into sin, he could at most have
a glory common to all the other Blessed, or perhaps even less than the others.
But wanting to restore again the Kingdom of my Divine Will, I feel within Me a
necessity of love to manifest the first epoch of Creation, and the first period
of the life of Adam - all of Divine Will - as well as the glory which he enjoys
in Heaven by virtue of It, so that, as the other creatures come to know a good
so great, they may dispose themselves and long for the Divine Fiat on earth as
It is in Heaven.”
