divine-mercy-in-my-soul

526 (4) + The 14 th . This Thursday, when we were having nocturnal adoration, at first I
could not pray; a sort of dryness engulfed me. I could not meditate on Jesus‟
sorrowful Passion. So I lay prostrate and offered the most sorrowful Passion of the
Lord Jesus to the heavenly Father in reparation for the sins of all the world. When
I got to my feet after this prayer and walked to my kneeler, I suddenly saw Jesus
next to it. The Lord Jesus appeared as He was during the scourging. In His hands
He was holding a white garment with which He clothed me and a cord with which
He girded me, and He covered me with a red cloak like the one He was clothed
with during His Passion and a veil of the same color, and He said to me, This is
how you and your companions are going to be clothed. My life from birth to
death on the Cross will be the rule for you. Fix your eyes upon Me and live
according to what you see. I desire that you penetrate into My spirit more
deeply and understand (5) that I am meek and humble of heart.
527 On one occasion, I felt an urge to set to work and fulfill whatever God is
demanding of me. I entered the chapel for a moment and heard a voice in my soul
saying, Why are you afraid? Do you think that I will not have enough
omnipotence to support you? At that moment, my soul felt extraordinary
strength, and all the adversities that could befall me in carrying out God‟s will
seemed as nothing to me.
528 On Friday, during Mass, when my soul was flooded with God‟s happiness, I heard
these words in my soul: My mercy has passed into souls through the divinehuman
Heart of Jesus as a ray from the sun passes through crystal. I felt in
my heart and understood that every approach to God is brought about by Jesus, in
Him and through Him.
529 (6) On the evening of the last day [November 15] of the novena at Ostra Brama,
after the singing of the litany, one of the priests exposed the Blessed Sacrament in
the monstrance. When he placed it on the altar, I immediately saw the Infant
Jesus, stretching out His little arms, first of all toward His Mother, who at that time
had taken on a living appearance. When the Mother of God was speaking to me,
Jesus stretched out His tiny hands toward the congregation. The Blessed Mother
was telling me to accept all that God asked of me like a little child, without
questioning; otherwise it would not be pleasing to God. At that moment, the Infant
Jesus vanished, and the Mother of God was again lifeless, and Her picture was the
same as it had been before. But my soul was filled with great joy and gladness,
and I said to the Lord, “Do with me as You please; I am ready for everything, but
You, O Lord, must not abandon me even for a moment.”

530 To the Glory of the Holy Trinity.
I asked Mother Superior [Borgia] to permit me to make a forty-day fast, taking once
a day a piece of bread and a glass of water. However, following the advice of my
confessor [Father Sopocko], Mother Superior did not agree to forty days, but to
seven. “I cannot take you away from your duties completely, Sister, because of
the other sisters who might notice something. I give you my permission to devote
