From Your Palace,
Yahweh my King, but Father as well,
You watered me until my parched land
has had all that Your Heavens
have to offer;
You use the winds as messengers
and fiery flames as servants
to proclaim to every race Your Glory
and the greatness of Your Name;
Yes! and I will continue
to recite Your marvels
one by one in poetry,
for I have committed myself to You ....
1
peace, My child; all I have given you
comes from Holy Wisdom; this is the
way I have always worked with My
prophets; I spoke and they believed;
bathed constantly in My Light they dwell
in My Will; knowing their human frailty,
My Eyes, as a mother who watches over
her babe, watch over My chosen ones to
keep them away from transgressing into
worldly inclinations; then in My great
benevolence, but with delight as well, I
grant them special favours to prepare
them for their task, a task that is usually
beyond their human capacity; I grant
them My protection, sheltering them
underneath My wings,
2
and you who I
have raised for a purpose and on whom I
have engraved My Holy Name, I will
supply you with all the needs to make
the lions and the dragons roar from fear,
for they will know that I Am is with you;
1
Yahweh speaks.
2
An expression only.
My all-powerful Hand does not lack
means of protection, so to protect My
Holy Name engraved on you now, I have
you encircled with My Arms, just as one
encircles his property with a fence from
intruders, I have you encircled; what
champion can dare come now to
confront Me and challenge My choice?
Prodigy Himself stooped from above to
enliven this dying generation, showing
My Sovereign power, but mercy as well
through My Divine Work in you in a
most ineffable manner; I have poured
drop by drop, like distilled myrrh, My
Wisdom into your ear to open your
hearing;
ah,
3
what delights I gathered while
performing this prodigy of prodigies!
what divine pleasure I obtained from My
benevolent act of Mercy, foreseeing that
restoration was close at hand! what joy
and gladness filled My Heart while I was
freeing you from your misery and from
the bondage of evil, drawing you near
Me instead to become a child who will
ever be at play with Me; then so as to fix
your eyes on My royal dignity and that
you commemorate our espousals for
ever, I placed the sweetest kisses upon
those lips which would glorify My Name,
increasing your attention on My
supreme sweetness, and so that I hear
you say: “the Lord God has espoused me,
adorning my soul with Himself, oh how
very pleasing it is to our Lord when a
soul is supple and willing, for His
impenetrable Wisdom will find its way
in her
4
and draw her ever completely in
Him;”
3
God seemed delighted as He said ‘ah’.
4
The soul.
