I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth.

He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty-he sees My face. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. “Why, My child-do you ask ‘why’? Well, I will tell you why. Why, my Lord-dare I ask why? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face-it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise.
