““Love. Already, says Love, I have said that such Souls value every affliction of their heart—both for body and for soul—as highly as if it were prosperity, and prosperity as highly as adversity. And this is true, says Love, if such things came to them as highly as adversity. And this is true, says Love, if such things came to them without their will being the cause; and also such Souls do not know what is better for them, nor how God wants to provide their salvation nor the salvation of their neighbors, 8 nor for what reason God wants to show justice or mercy, nor for what reason God wants to give to the Soul the exalted gifts of the goodness of his divine nobility. And therefore the Soul set Free has no will at all to will or not to will, except only to will the will of God, and to submit in peace to the divine command.””
