 O Mal surgiu do livre-arbítrio de Lúcifer e Deus não viola o livre-arbítrio de Suas criaturas

^{[Azarias – the Guardian Angel of Maria Valtorta – says:]} "But, to go back to the initial point, I tell you that in the angels, different from you in nature and perfection, there is free will, as in you. God has created nothing as a slave. At the origin there was only Order in the creation. But Order does not exclude freedom. Rather, in Order there is perfect freedom. Nor is there in Order fear — as a constraint — of an invasion, an intrusion, or the anarchy of other wills which may produce secret pacts and ruins penetrating into the orbit and trajectory of other beings or created things. The whole Universe was like that before Lucifer abused his freedom and by his own will introduced the disorder of passions into himself to create disorder in the Universe. If he had been entirely love, he would have had no room in himself for anything that was not love. He instead had room for pride, which might be termed ‘the disorder of the intellect.’
"Could God have impeded this event? He could have. But why violate the free will of the very handsome, intelligent archangel? Wouldn’t He, the Most Just, then have introduced disorder into his orderly Thought by no longer willing what he had previously willed — that is, the archangel’s freedom? God did not oppress the disturbed spirit by violently making it impossible for him to sin. His not sinning would then have lacked any merit. For us, too ^{[the angels]}, it was necessary ‘to be able to will the Good’ in order to go on deserving to enjoy the vision of God, infinite Blessedness!
God, since He had wanted the sublime archangel to be at his side in the first operations of creation and wanted him to be aware of the future of the creation of love, so he wanted him to be aware of the adorable and painful necessity which his sin would impose upon God: the Incarnation and Death of a God to counterbalance the ruin of Sin which would be created if Lucifer did not overcome pride in himself. Love could only speak this language. The first annihilation of God is in this act of wanting to induce the proud one gently — almost begging him, with the vision of what his pride would impose upon God — not to sin so as to lead others to sin.
"It was an act of love. Lucifer, already turned into a devil, took it ^{[the act of God]} to be fear, weakness, and offense, a declaration of war; and he waged war against the Perfect One by saying, ‘You are? I, too, am. You made what You made through me. There is no God. And if there is a God, I am. I worship myself. I hate You. I refuse to recognize one who is unable to overcome me as my Lord. You should not have created me so perfect if you did not want rivals. Now I am and I am against You. Defeat me, if You can. But I do not fear You. I, too, will create, and because of me your Creation will tremble, for I will shake it like a bit of cloud seized by the winds because I hate You and want to destroy what is yours to create what will be mine over the ruins. I do not know or recognize any other power except myself. And I will no longer worship, I will no longer worship anyone but myself.’
"Truly, in the Creation, in the whole Creation, down to the very depths, there was then a horrendous convulsion out of dread at the sacrilegious words. A convulsion the likes of which will not be seen at the end of the Creation. And from it there arose Hell, the realm of Hatred.
"Soul of mine, do you understand how Evil arose? From free will — respected as such by God — of one who was not ‘entirely love.’ And believe that upon every sin committed since then there stands this judgment: ‘Here love does not exist entirely.’ Complete love forbids sinning. And without effort. Whoever loves does not labor to reach justice! Love takes him high above all mire and danger and purifies him minute by minute of the barely perceptible imperfections which are still present in the final degree of consummate holiness, in that state wherein the spirit is so advanced that it is truly a king, already united by spiritual marriage to its Lord; God gives and reveals Himself to such a point to his blessed son, who enjoys only a single degree less than what the life of the blessed in Heaven is.
