My son, my daughter,
do you know when the creature rests in Me, and I in her?
When her intelligence thinks of Me and comprehends Me,
– she rests in the intelligence of her Creator, and
– that of the Creator finds rest in the created mind.
When the human will unites with the Divine Will,
– the two wills embrace and rest together.
If human love rises above all created things and loves only its God
– what a beautiful rest do God and the creature find reciprocally!
One who gives rest finds it. I become her bed
And keep her in the sweetest sleep, clasped in my arms.
Therefore, come and rest in my bosom.”
