absolution. Suddenly, I saw many spirits of darkness. Then, forgett<strong>in</strong>g that I was<br />

with the sisters, I seized the holy-water spr<strong>in</strong>kler and spr<strong>in</strong>kled the spirits, and they<br />

disappeared at once. However, when the sisters came to the refectory, Mother<br />

Superior [Borgia] remarked that I should not have spr<strong>in</strong>kled the sick sister <strong>in</strong> the<br />

presence of the priest, as this was his duty. I accepted the admonition <strong>in</strong> the spirit<br />

of penance, but holy water is <strong>in</strong>deed of great help to the dy<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

602 My Jesus, You see how weak I am of <strong>my</strong>self. Therefore, You Yourself direct <strong>my</strong><br />

affairs. And know, Jesus, that without you I will not budge for any cause, but with<br />

You I will take on the most difficult th<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

603 (65) January 29, 1936. In the even<strong>in</strong>g, when I was <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> cell, I suddenly saw a<br />

great light and a dark gray cross high up with<strong>in</strong> the light. Suddenly, I found <strong>my</strong>self<br />

caught up close to the cross. I gazed at it <strong>in</strong>tently, but could not understand<br />

anyth<strong>in</strong>g, and so I prayed, ask<strong>in</strong>g what it could mean. At that moment I saw the<br />

Lord Jesus, and the cross disappeared. The Lord Jesus was sitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a great light,<br />

and His legs, up to the knees, were drowned <strong>in</strong> the light so that I could not see<br />

them. Jesus bent toward me, looked at me k<strong>in</strong>dly and spoke to me about the will<br />

of the Heavenly Father. He told me that the most perfect and holy <strong>soul</strong> is the one<br />

that does the will of My Father, but there are not many such, and that He looks with<br />

special love upon the <strong>soul</strong> who lives His will. And Jesus told me that I was do<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the will of God perfectly …… and for this reason I am unit<strong>in</strong>g Myself with you<br />

and commun<strong>in</strong>g with you <strong>in</strong> a special and <strong>in</strong>timate way.<br />

God embraces with His <strong>in</strong>comprehensible love the <strong>soul</strong> who (66) lives by His will. I<br />

understood how much god loves us, how simple He is, though <strong>in</strong>comprehensible,<br />

and how easy it is to commune with Him, despite His great majesty. With no one<br />

do I feel as free and as much at ease as with Him. Even a mother and her truly<br />

lov<strong>in</strong>g child do not understand each other so well as God and I do. When I was <strong>in</strong><br />

that state of communion with God, I saw two particular persons, and their sad<br />

<strong>in</strong>terior condition was revealed to me. They were <strong>in</strong> a sorrowful state, but I trust<br />

that they, too, will glorify the <strong>mercy</strong> of God.<br />

604 At the same time, I saw a certa<strong>in</strong> person [Father Sopocko] and, <strong>in</strong> part, the<br />

condition of his <strong>soul</strong> and the ordeals God was send<strong>in</strong>g him. His suffer<strong>in</strong>gs were of<br />

the m<strong>in</strong>d and <strong>in</strong> a form so acute that I pitied him and said to the Lord, “Why do you<br />

treat him like that?” And the Lord answered, For the sake of his triple crown.<br />

And the Lord also gave me to understand what unimag<strong>in</strong>able glory awaits the<br />

person who resembles the (67) suffer<strong>in</strong>g Jesus here on earth. That person will<br />

resemble Jesus <strong>in</strong> His glory. The Heavenly Father will recognize and glorify our<br />

<strong>soul</strong> to the extent that He sees <strong>in</strong> us a resemblance to His Son. I understood that<br />

this assimilation <strong>in</strong>to Jesus is granted to us while we are here on earth. I see pure<br />

and <strong>in</strong>nocent <strong>soul</strong>s upon whom God has exercised His justice; the <strong>soul</strong>s are the<br />

victims who susta<strong>in</strong> the world and who fill up what is lack<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the Passion of<br />

Jesus. They are not many <strong>in</strong> number. I rejoice greatly that God has allowed me to<br />

know such <strong>soul</strong>s.<br />

605 O Holy Tr<strong>in</strong>ity, Eternal God, I thank You for allow<strong>in</strong>g me to know the greatness and<br />

the various degrees of glory to which <strong>soul</strong>s atta<strong>in</strong>. Oh, what a great difference of<br />

depth <strong>in</strong> the knowledge of God there is between one degree and another! Oh, if<br />
