divine-mercy-in-my-soul

441 Once, the image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi
procession [June 20, 1935]. When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and
the choir began to sing, the rays from image pierced the Sacred Host and spread
out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass
through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out
(184) through all the world. At these words, profound joy invaded my soul.
442 Once when my confessor [Father Sopocko] was saying Mass, I saw, as usual, the
Child Jesus on the altar, from the time of the Offertory. However, a moment before
the Elevation, the priest vanished from my sight, and Jesus alone remained. When
the moment of the Elevation approached, Jesus took the Host and the chalice in
His little hands and raised them together, looking up to heaven, and a moment
later I again saw my confessor. I asked the Child Jesus where the priest had been
during the time I had not seen him. Jesus answered, In My Heart. But I could not
understand anything more of these words of Jesus.
443 On one occasion I heard these words, I desire that you live according to My
will, in the most secret depths of your soul. I reflected on these words, which
spoke very much to my heart. This was on the day of confessions for the
community. When I went to confession and had accused myself of my sins, the
priest [Father Sopocko] repeated to me the same words that the Lord had
previously spoken.
444 The priest spoke these profound words to me, “There are three degrees in the
accomplishment of God‟s will: in the first, the soul carries out all rules and statutes
pertaining to external observance; in the second degree, the soul accepts interior
inspiration and carries them out faithfully; in the third degree, the soul, abandoned
to the will of God, allows Him to dispose of it freely, and God does with it as, He
pleases, and it is a docile tool in His hands.” And the priest said that I was at the
second degree in the accomplishment of God‟s will and that I had not yet reached
the (185) third degree, but that I should strive to attain it. These words pierced my
soul. I see clearly that God often gives the priest knowledge of what is going on in
the depths of my soul. This does not surprise me at all; indeed, I thank God that
He has such chosen persons.
Thursday, Nocturnal Adoration.
445 When I came for adoration, an inner recollection took hold of me immediately, and
I saw the Lord Jesus tied to a pillar, stripped of His clothes, and the scourging
began immediately. I saw four men who took turns at striking the Lord with
scourges. My heart almost stopped at the sight of these tortures. The Lord said to
me, I suffer even greater pain than that which you see. And Jesus gave me to
know for what sins He subjected Himself to the scourging: these are sins of
impurity. Oh, how dreadful was Jesus‟ moral suffering during the scourging! Then
Jesus said to me, Look and see the human race in its present condition. In an
instant, I saw horrible things: the executioners left Jesus, and other people started
scourging Him; they seized the scourges and struck the Lord Mercilessly. These
were priests, religious men and women, and high dignitaries of the Church, which
surprised me greatly. There were lay people of all ages and walks of life. All
vented their malice on the innocent Jesus. Seeing this, my heart fell as if into a
