divine-mercy-in-my-soul

swallowed up by the incomprehensible fire with which You burn, O inconceivable
Trinity! No greater joy is to be found than that of loving God. Already here on
earth we can taste the happiness of those in heaven by an intimate union with
God, a union that is extraordinary and often quite incomprehensible to us. One
can attain this very grace through simple faithfulness of soul.
508 When a reluctance and a monotony as regards my duties begins to take
possession of me, I remind myself that I am in the house of the Lord, where
nothing is small and where the glory of the Church and the progress of many a
soul depend on this small deed of mine, accomplished in a divinized way.
Therefore there is nothing small in a religious congregation.
509 In the adversities that I experience, I remind myself that the time for doing battle
has not yet come to an end. I arm myself with patience, and in this way I defeat
my assailant.
510 In no way do I seek perfection inquisitively, but I probe into the spirit of Jesus and
fix my eyes on His deeds as summarized in the Gospel. Even if I live a thousand
years, I would not exhaust what is contained there.
511 When my intentions are not recognized, but rather condemned, I am not too much
surprised, for I know that it is only God who scrutinizes my heart. Truth will not die;
the wounded heart will regain peace in due time, and my spirit is strengthened
through adversities. I do not always listen to what my heart tells me, but I keep
asking God for light; and when I feel I have regained my equilibrium, then I say
more.
512 (209) The day of the renewal of vows. The presence of God flooded my soul.
During Holy Mass I saw Jesus, and He said to me, You are My great joy; your
love and your humility make Me leave the heavenly throne and unite Myself
with you. Love fills up the abyss that exists between My greatness and your
nothingness.
513 Love is flooding my soul; I am plunged into an ocean of love. I feel that I am
swooning and becoming completely lost in Him.
514 Jesus, make my heart like unto Yours, or rather transform it into Your own Heart
that I may sense the needs of other hearts, especially those who are sad and
suffering. May the rays of mercy rest in my heart.
515 In the evening, when I was walking in the garden saying my rosary and came to
the cemetery, 102 I opened the gate a little and began to pray for a while, and I
asked them interiorly, “You are very happy and you not? Then I heard the words,
“We are happy in the measure that we have fulfilled God‟s will” – and then silence
as before. I became introspective and reflected for a long time on how I am
fulfilling God‟s will and how I am profiting from the time that God has given me.
516 On the evening of that same day, when I had already gone to bed, a certain soul
came to me, woke me up by tapping on the night table and asked me to pray for
her. I wanted to ask who she was, but I mortified my curiosity and joined this little
mortification to my prayer and offered them for her.
