MARY IMMACULATE
HER BEAUTY
4. The King of Creation.
And now ask yourself: "And for whom was all this made? To whom did God subordinate the whole of creation?" The earth is for man; the earthly paradise is for the just and the innocent. All this is for a creature who is soon going to raise the banner of rebellion against God and disregard His commandments.
And for whom Heaven? For His angels, His courtiers and servants, amongst whom alas He is going to find traitors and ingrates who too, will rebel and disobey His divine Majesty, daring in the madness of their pride to attempt to overthrow God and try to install themselves in His place.
All on earth was for man! All in Heaven was for the angels!
