1051-1100
1051 I have felt great sufferings in my body, but I feel the Lord is upholding me, for otherwise I
would not be able to bear it.
1052 O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Your
Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to
repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; You yourself maintain
them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil‟s traps and snares which
are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord,
shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all
things.1053 (14) March 25, 1937. Holy Thursday. During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord, who said to me,Lean your head on My breast and rest. The Lord pressed me to His Heart and said, Ishall give you a small portion of My Passion, but do not be afraid, be brave; do not seek relief, but accept everything with submission to My will.
1054 When Jesus was taking leave of me, such great pain filled my soul that it is impossible to
express it. Physical strength left me; I left the chapel quickly and went to bed. I was
oblivious of what was going on around me. My soul was filled with longing for the Lord,
and all the bitterness of His Divine Heart was imparted to me. This lasted for about three
hours. I asked the Lord to protect me from the eyes of these around me. Although I
wanted to, I could not take any food all day, until evening.
I earnestly desired to spend the whole night with Jesus in the dark prison cell. 184 I prayed until eleven o‟clock. At eleven, the Lord said to me, Lie down and take your rest. I have let you experience in three hours what I suffered during the whole night. And
immediately I went to bed.
I had no physical strength left; the suffering had deprived me of it completely. Throughout all this time, I had been in a sort of swoon. Every beat of Jesus‟ Heart was reflected in
my heart and pierced my soul. If these tortures had concerned me only, I would have
suffered less; but as I looked at the One whom my heart has loved with all its might and
saw that He was suffering, and that I could not bring Him any relief, my heart dissolved in
love and bitterness. I was dying with Him, and yet I could not die. But I would not have
exchanged that martyrdom for all the pleasures in the whole world. In the course of this
suffering, my love grew immeasurably. I know that the Lord was supporting me with His
omnipotence, for otherwise I would not have been able to endure it for even a moment.
Together with Him, I underwent, in a special way, all the various tortures. The world still
has no idea of all that Jesus suffered. (15) I accompanied Him to the Garden of
Gethsemane; I stayed with Him in the prison; I went with Him before the judges; I
underwent with Him each of the tortures. Not a single one of His movements or looks
escaped my notice. I came to know all the omnipotence of His love and of His mercy
towards souls.
1055 March 26, 1937. Friday. In the morning, I at once felt the torture of His five wounds in my body. This suffering continued until three o‟clock. Although there is no outward sign of it, the torture is no less painful. I am glad that Jesus is protecting me from people‟s eyes.
251
1056 At eleven o'clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented Heart. I thought, after these words, that my heart would burn up. And He brought me
into such close intimacy with Himself that my heart was espoused to His Heart in a loving
union, and I could feel the faintest stir of His Heart and he, of mine. The fire of my
created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace surpasses all
others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely, and I am totally
immersed in Him. My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this Immortal Might One. I
am immersed in incomprehensible love and incomprehensible torture because of His
Passion. All that concerns His Being is imparted to me also.
1057 Up to now, Jesus has been bringing me to know about, and to have a presentiment of,
this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it. My
heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs my contacts
with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is capable of interrupting
my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from
detection by people. And, together with this grace, there entered my soul a whole ocean
of light, enabling me to understand God and myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely
and leads me as if into a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to
descend to me, who am so little.
1058 (16) + At three o‟clock, I prayed prostrate, in the form of a cross, for the whole world.Jesus‟ mortal life was coming to an end. I heard His seven words: then He looked at me
and said, Beloved daughter of My Heart, you are My solace amidst terrible torments. 1059 Jesus is commanding me to make a novena before the Feast of Mercy, and today I am to
begin it for the conversion of the whole world and for the recognition of The Divine Mercy…. so that every soul will praise My goodness. I desire trust from My creatures. Encourage souls to place great trust in My fathomless mercy. Let the weak, sinful souls have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more sins that there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the unmeasurable depths of My mercy.
1060 When Jesus had given up His last breath, my soul dissolved from the pain, and for a long
time I could not come to myself. I found some relief in tears. The One whom my heart
had come to love has died. Will anyone understand my grief?1061 In the evening, over the radio, I heard hymns; that is, psalms, sung by priests. 185 I burst
into tears, and all of the pain was renewed in my soul, and I wept sorrowfully, unable to
find appeasement in this pain. Then I heard a voice in my soul: Do not cry; I am not suffering any more. And for the faithfulness with which you accompanied Me in My sufferings and death, your own death will be a solemn one, and I will accompany you in that last hour. Beloved pearl of My Heart, I see your love so pure, purer than that of the angels, and all the more so because you keep fighting. For your sake I bless the world. I see your efforts to please Me, and they delight My Heart.
After these words, I wept no more, but thanked the heavenly Father for having sent us His
Son and for the work of the Redemption of mankind.
1062 (17) + I made an hour of adoration in thanksgiving for the graces which had been granted
me and for my illness. Illness also is a great grace. I have been ill for four months, but I
252
do not recall having wasted so much as a minute of it. All has been for God and souls; I
want to be faithful to Him everywhere.
During this adoration, I realized the utter care and goodness that Jesus has been
lavishing upon me and the protection He has given me against all evil. I thank You
especially, Jesus, for visiting me in my solitude, and I thank You also for inspiring my
superiors to send me for this treatment. Give them, Jesus, the omnipotence of Your
blessing and compensate them for all the losses incurred because of me.
1063 Today, Jesus is bidding me to comfort and reassure a certain soul who has opened
herself to me and told me about her difficulties. This soul is pleasing to the Lord, but she is not aware of it. God is keeping her in deep humility. I have carried out the Lord‟s
directives.
1064 + O my most sweet Master, good Jesus, I give You my heart. You shape and mold it
after Your liking. O fathomless love, I open the calyx of my heart to You, like a rosebud to
the freshness of dew. To You alone, my Betrothed, is known the fragrance of the flower
of my heart. Let the fragrance of my sacrifice be pleasing to You. O Immortal God, my
everlasting delight, already here on earth You are my heaven. May every beat of my
heart be a new hymn of praise to You, O Holy Trinity! Had I as many hearts as there are
drops of water in the ocean or grains of sand in the whole world, I would offer them all to
You, O my Love, O Treasure of my heart! Whomever I shall meet in my life, no matter
who they may be, I want to draw them all to love You, O my Jesus, my Beauty, my
Repose, my sole Master, Judge, Savior and Spouse, all in one; I know that one title will
modify the other – I have entrusted everything to Your mercy.
1065 (18) + My Jesus, support me when difficult and stormy days come, days of testing, days
of ordeal, when suffering and fatigue begin to oppress my body and my soul. Sustain me,
Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffering. Set a guard upon my lips that they may
address no word of complaint to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all my hope. I
have nothing for my defense but only Your mercy; in it lies all my trust.
1066 March 27, 1937. Today, I returned from Pradnik, after nearly four months of treatment.
For everything, I give great thanks to God. I have made use of every moment to glorify
God. When I went into the chapel for a moment, I realized how much I would have to
suffer and struggle, with regard to this whole matter. O Jesus, my strength, You alone
can help me; grant me fortitude.
1067 March 28. Resurrection. During the Mass of Resurrection, I saw the Lord in beauty and
splendor, and He said to me, My daughter, peace be with you. He blessed me and
disappeared, and my soul was filled with gladness and joy beyond words. My heart was
fortified for struggle and sufferings.
1068 Today, I had a conversation with Father [Andrasz] and he recommended great caution in
the matter of these sudden appearances of the Lord Jesus. When he was speaking
about divine mercy, some sort of strength and power entered my heart. My God, I want
so much to express everything and am so very unable to do so. Father tells me that the
Lord Jesus is very generous in communicating himself to souls and, on the other hand,He is, so to speak, stingy. “Although God‟s generosity is very great,” said Father, “be
careful anyway, because these sudden appearances arouse suspicion; although,
253
personally, I do not see anything wrong here, or anything contrary to faith. Be a little more careful, and when Mother Superior comes, you can talk to her about these things.”
1069 (19) March 29, 1937. During meditation today, I saw the Lord in great beauty, and He
said to me, Peace be to you, My daughter. My whole soul trembled with love for Him and I said, “O Lord, although I love You with all my heart, please do not appear to me,
because my spiritual director has told me that these sudden appearances of yours arouse
the suspicion that You could be an illusion. And although I love You more than my own
life, and I know that You are my Lord and God, who are communing with me, I must
above all be obedient to my confessor.”
Jesus listened to my words with gravity and kindness and spoke these words to me: Tell your confessor that I commune with your soul in such an intimate manner because you do not steal My gifts, and this is why I pour all these graces upon your soul, because I know that you will not hoard them for yourself. But as a sign that his prudence is agreeable to Me, you shall not see Me, and I will not appear to you in this way until you have given him an account of what I have just said.
1070 + April 2, 1937. In the morning, during Mass, I heard these words: Tell the Superior that I want adoration to take place here for the intention of imploring mercy for the world.
1071 O my Jesus, You alone know what my heart is going through. O my Strength, You can
do all things, and though I expose myself to great sufferings, I shall always remain faithful
to You because I am sustained by Your singular grace.1072 + April 3, 1937. Today, the Lord said to me, Tell the Reverend Professor [probably
Father Theodore 186] that I desire that on the Feast of My Mercy he deliver a sermon about My fathomless mercy. I fulfilled God‟s wish, but the priest did not want to acknowledge the Lord‟s message. When I left the confessional, I heard these words: Doas I tell you and be at peace; this matter is between him and Me. You will not be held responsible for this.
1073 (20) April 4, 1937. Low Sunday; that is, the Feast of Mercy. In the morning, after Holy
Communion, my soul was immersed in the Godhead. I was united to the Three Divine
persons in such a way that when I was united to Jesus, I was simultaneously united to the
Father and to the Holy Spirit, My soul was flooded with joy beyond understanding, and
the Lord gave me to experience the whole ocean and abyss of His fathomless mercy. Oh,
if only souls would want to understand how much God loves them! All comparisons, even
if they were the most tender and the most vehement, are but a mere shadow when set
against the reality.
When I was united to the Lord, I came to know how many souls are glorifying God‟s
mercy.1074 When I went for adoration, I heard these words: My beloved daughter, write down these words, that today My Heart has rested in this convent [the Cracow house]. Tell the world about My mercy and My love.
254 The flames of mercy are burning me. I desire to pour them out upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them! My daughter, do whatever is within your power to spread devotion to My mercy. I will make up for what you lack. Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace. Tell [all people],
