Eden, field of light. Difference between one who operates in the Divine Will and one who operates
in the human will– Volume 28
Luisa-I was continuing my usual acts in the Divine Volition, and my poor mind paused in Eden, where
God created man to give rise to the life of the creature. And my beloved Good, Jesus, making Himself
seen all tenderness and goodness, told me:
Jesus- “My daughter, Eden is field of light in which Our Supreme
Being created man. It can be said that he was created in the light of Our Fiat; his first act of life was
light, such that, as an interminable field of light would extend behind and before him, to the right and
to the left, he was to follow his way in order to form his life, drawing into his acts as much light for as
many acts as he would do, so as to form a light all his own, as his property by virtue of his acts, though
drawn from my Divine Will. Now, here is the difference of one who operates in It as his origin and
end, in which all of his acts are bound to the origin of the light where his life was formed and had its
first act of life. The light keeps this life in custody, defends it, and lets nothing extraneous enter into its
light, so as to form one of the portents which only the light knows how to form. On the other hand,
one who goes down from this light enters into the dark prison of his will, and in doing his act, he draws
darkness; and he draws as much darkness for as many acts as he forms, to form for himself a property
all of darkness, all his own. Darkness does not know how to keep or defend one who lives in it; and if
one does any good act in it, it is always tenebrous, because they are bound by darkness; and since
darkness does not have the virtue of being able to defend, things enter which are extraneous to darkness
itself; the bothers of weaknesses enter, the enemies of passions, the fierce thieves that hurl the creature
into sin and reach the point of hurling her into eternal darkness, where there is no hope of light. What
difference between one who lives in the light of my Divine Will and one who lives as though
imprisoned in his human will.
Scripture Meditation- 5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:5-7).
Prayer Reflection- O Lord we bless You, we adore You, and we love You because You created man in Eden in a field of light. We were meant to be surrounded by light- Your Light! And yet in our humans wills we descend into the prison of darkness. Our weaknesses, our passions, our sins. But Lord this is not the way You intended it. You want us surrounded by Your Light so that we would not veer to the right or to the left (Isaiah 30:21) as You form Your very life in us telling is this is the way walk in it! (Isaiah 30:21). And if we return to You and walk in this light we again have fellowship with You, Our Good Good Father, and with each other. We are cleansed by Your Precious Blood and we are sanctified bit by bit, little by little in Your Most Holy Divine Will. O Lord Your description of how the light was meant to surround us reminds me of that old prayer of Saint Patrick which I would like to offer in the name of all: Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Fiat!
