514 CITY OF GOD<br />

600. To <strong>the</strong>se words of <strong>the</strong> most sacred humanity of<br />

Christ <strong>the</strong> eternal Fa<strong>the</strong>r replied most beloved :<br />

&quot;My<br />

Son,<br />

in whom I have <strong>the</strong> plenitude of my pleasure and com<br />

Thou art <strong>the</strong> First-born and <strong>the</strong><br />

placency (Matth. 17, 5) :<br />

Head of all <strong>the</strong> predestined (Rom. 8, 29) and in thy hands<br />

I have placed all things (John 3, 35) in order that Thou<br />

mayest judge with equity all <strong>the</strong> nations and generations,<br />

and all my creatures .<br />

(John 5, 22) Distribute my infinite<br />

treasures and communicate <strong>the</strong>m as Thou desirest <strong>to</strong> thy<br />

Beloved, who clo<strong>the</strong>d Thee in passible flesh ; reward Her<br />

according <strong>to</strong> her dignity and merit, which are so pleasing<br />

in our eyes.&quot;<br />

601. In accordance with <strong>the</strong> pleasure of <strong>the</strong> eternal<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r Christ our Savior decreed and as it were pledged<br />

Himself <strong>to</strong> his most blessed Mo<strong>the</strong>r, in <strong>the</strong> presence of all<br />

<strong>the</strong> saints, that from henceforth, as long as She should<br />

live in mortal flesh, She should, on every Sunday after<br />

finishing her exercises of <strong>the</strong> Passion, be brought by <strong>the</strong><br />

holy angels <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> empyrean heaven and <strong>the</strong>re, in <strong>the</strong><br />

presence of <strong>the</strong> Most High, celebrate in body and soul<br />

<strong>the</strong> joys of <strong>the</strong> Resurrection. The Lord also decreed,<br />

that in her daily Communion He should manifest <strong>to</strong> Her<br />

his most sacred humanity united <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divinity in a new<br />

and wonderful manner, different from that in which She<br />

had enjoyed<br />

it until that day; so that this might serve<br />

as a pledge and foretaste of <strong>the</strong> glory, which He had re<br />

served for his most holy Mo<strong>the</strong>r in eternity. All <strong>the</strong><br />

blessed unders<strong>to</strong>od how just were <strong>the</strong>se manifestations of<br />

his glory and greatness in his holy Mo<strong>the</strong>r, how well<br />

<strong>the</strong>y corresponded <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> dignity and holiness of <strong>the</strong><br />

great Queen, and how well <strong>the</strong>y were merited by her<br />

full response <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> divine operations in Her. All of<br />

<strong>the</strong>m sang new canticles of praise and glory <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord,<br />

who was so holy, just and wonderful in all <strong>the</strong>se works.<br />
