him about everyth<strong>in</strong>g that had happened to me and about what Jesus had said to<br />

me. When I told Father, he was quite different and he said (103) to me, “Sister,<br />

don‟t be afraid of anyth<strong>in</strong>g; you will come to no harm, for the Lord Jesus will not<br />

allow it. If you are obedient and persevere <strong>in</strong> this disposition, you need not worry<br />

about anyth<strong>in</strong>g. God will f<strong>in</strong>d a way to br<strong>in</strong>g about His work. You should always<br />

have this simplicity and s<strong>in</strong>cerity and tell everyth<strong>in</strong>g to Mother General. What I<br />

said to you was said as a warn<strong>in</strong>g, because illusions may afflict even holy persons,<br />

and Satan‟s <strong>in</strong>s<strong>in</strong>uations may play a part <strong>in</strong> this, and sometimes this comes from<br />

our own selves, so one has to be careful. And so cont<strong>in</strong>ue as you have thus far.<br />

You can see, Sister, that the Lord is not angered by this. And Sister, you can<br />

repeat these th<strong>in</strong>gs that have happened to you are present to your regular<br />

confessor [Father Sopocko].”<br />

647 From this, I came to understand one th<strong>in</strong>g: that I must pray much for each of <strong>my</strong><br />

confessors, that he might obta<strong>in</strong> the light of the Holy (104) Spirit, for when I<br />

approach the confessional without first pray<strong>in</strong>g fervently, the confessor does not<br />

understand me very well. Father encouraged me to pray fervently for these<br />

<strong>in</strong>tentions, that God would give better knowledge and understand<strong>in</strong>g of the th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

He is ask<strong>in</strong>g of me. “Make novena after novena, Sister, and God will not refuse<br />

the graces.”<br />

648 Good Friday. At three o‟clock, I saw the Lord Jesus, crucified, who looked at me<br />

and said, I thirst. Then I saw two rays issue from His side, just as they appear <strong>in</strong><br />

the image. I then felt <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> the desire to save <strong>soul</strong>s and to empty <strong>my</strong>self for<br />

the sake of poor s<strong>in</strong>ners. I offered <strong>my</strong>self, together with the dy<strong>in</strong>g Jesus, to the<br />

Eternal Father, for the salvation of the whole world. With Jesus, through Jesus<br />

(105) and <strong>in</strong> Jesus is <strong>my</strong> communion with You, Eternal Father. On Good Friday,<br />

Jesus suffered <strong>in</strong> His <strong>soul</strong> <strong>in</strong> a way which was different from [His suffer<strong>in</strong>g on] Holy<br />

Thursday.<br />

649 Mass of the Resurrection. [April 12, 1936]. When I entered the chapel, <strong>my</strong> spirit<br />

was immersed <strong>in</strong> God, its only treasure. His presence flooded me.<br />

650 O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, <strong>my</strong> Master and Director, strengthen and enlighten me <strong>in</strong> these difficult<br />

moments of <strong>my</strong> life. I expect no help from people; all <strong>my</strong> hope is <strong>in</strong> You. I feel<br />

alone <strong>in</strong> the face of Your demands, O Lord. Despite the fears and qualms of <strong>my</strong><br />

nature, I am fulfill<strong>in</strong>g Your holy will and desire to fulfill it as faithfully as possible<br />

throughout <strong>my</strong> life and <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> death. Jesus, with You I can do all th<strong>in</strong>gs. Do with<br />

me as You please; only give me Your merciful Heart and that is enough for me.<br />

(106) O Jesus <strong>my</strong> Lord, help me. Let what You have planned before all ages<br />

happen to me. I am ready at each beckon<strong>in</strong>g of Your holy will. Enlighten <strong>my</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d<br />

that I may know Your will. O God, You who pervade <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, You know that I<br />

desire noth<strong>in</strong>g but Your glory.<br />

O Div<strong>in</strong>e Will, You are the delight of <strong>my</strong> heart, the food of <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, the light of <strong>my</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>tellect, the omnipotent strength of <strong>my</strong> will; for when I united <strong>my</strong>self with Your will,<br />

O Lord, Your power works through me and takes the place of <strong>my</strong> feeble will. Each<br />

day, I seek to carry out God‟s wishes.<br />
