Divine will .... wise government ....

B.D. No. 1767 January 7th 1941

The diversity of what God has created requires an extremely wise government, because every creation must fulfil its task, and everything must also be preserved and cared for. And the seemingly transient must become visible again in a new form. And so God directs and guides everything according to the wisest plan, and this guidance in the work of creation means even more than the creation of things themselves. What exists must live, i.e. be active .... Activity must have meaning and purpose. being active requires power, which must be constantly supplied to all creation. Nothing happens without a plan, nothing that is not founded in God's wisdom and love. And everything is guided by His will .... The divine will is the sceptre, it is expressed in everything that happens .... in everything that is and in everything that lives .... Everything must submit to His will if it does not want to forfeit His love and grace through its resistance and be banished from His neighbourhood. But submitting to His will is by no means a humiliation .... On the contrary, it is a sharing in His power and glory, whereas resisting is weakness and powerlessness and therefore results in a deplorable state. Creation harbours within itself the essence that strives towards God again and therefore submits to the divine will, albeit under a certain compulsion .... but it has already declared its willingness to comply with the divine will and was therefore added to the works of creation, which divine will brought into being for a purpose. There are countless worlds in the universe, and all of them have the one will before them .... which unites the deepest love, highest wisdom and greatest omnipotence in itself ....

Amen
