speak about us. My Jesus, do not allow me to daydream, but give me the courage<br />

and strength to fulfill Your holy will.<br />

Jesus, if You wish to leave me <strong>in</strong> uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty, even to the end of <strong>my</strong> life, may Your<br />

Holy Name be blessed.<br />

664 + O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, how immensely I rejoice at the assurance You have given me that<br />

the Congregation will come <strong>in</strong>to be<strong>in</strong>g. I no longer have the least shadow of a<br />

doubt about this, and I see how great is the glory which it will give to God. It will be<br />

the reflection of God‟s greatest attribute; that is, His <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>mercy</strong>. Unceas<strong>in</strong>gly,<br />

(115) they will <strong>in</strong>tercede for <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>mercy</strong> for themselves and for the whole world.<br />

And every act of <strong>mercy</strong> will flow from God‟s love, that love with which they will be<br />

filled to overflow<strong>in</strong>g. They will strive to make their own this great attribute of God,<br />

and to live by it and to br<strong>in</strong>g others to know it and to trust <strong>in</strong> the goodness of the<br />

Lord. This Congregation of Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy will be <strong>in</strong> god‟s Church like a beehive <strong>in</strong> a<br />

magnificent garden, hidden and meek. The sisters will work like bees to feed their<br />

neighbors‟ <strong>soul</strong>s with honey, while the wax will flame for the glory of God.<br />

665 Father Andrasz told me to make a novena for the <strong>in</strong>tention of know<strong>in</strong>g better the<br />

will of God. I prayed ardently, add<strong>in</strong>g a certa<strong>in</strong> bodily mortification. Towards the<br />

end of the novena, I received an <strong>in</strong>ner light and the assurance that the<br />

Congregation will come <strong>in</strong>to be<strong>in</strong>g and that it is pleas<strong>in</strong>g to God. Despite the<br />

difficulties (116) and adversities, complete peace and strength entered <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong><br />

from on high. I understood that noth<strong>in</strong>g could resist or nullify the will of God<br />

despite obstacles, persecution and suffer<strong>in</strong>gs of all k<strong>in</strong>ds, and despite natural<br />

repugnance and fear.<br />

666 I understood that all striv<strong>in</strong>g for perfection and all sanctity consist <strong>in</strong> do<strong>in</strong>g God‟s<br />

will. Perfect fulfillment of God‟s will is maturity <strong>in</strong> sanctity; there is no room for<br />

doubt here. To receive God‟s light and recognize what God wants of us and yet<br />

not do it is a great offense aga<strong>in</strong>st the majesty of God. Such a <strong>soul</strong> deserves to be<br />

completely forsaken by God. It resembles Lucifer, who had great light, but did not<br />

do God‟s will. An extraord<strong>in</strong>ary peace entered <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> when I reflected on the fact<br />

that, despite great difficulties, I had always faithfully followed God‟s will (117) as I<br />

knew it. O Jesus, grant me the grace to put Your will <strong>in</strong>to practice as I have come<br />

to know it, O God.<br />

667 July 14. I received a letter at three o‟clock [from Father Sopocko 135 ]. O Jesus,<br />

You alone know what I suffer, but I will keep silent and will not say anyth<strong>in</strong>g about<br />

it to any creature, because I know that no one will comfort me. You are everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to me, O God, and Your holy will is <strong>my</strong> nourishment. I am liv<strong>in</strong>g now on what I will<br />

live on <strong>in</strong> eternity.<br />

I have great reverence for Sa<strong>in</strong>t Michael the Archangel; he had no example to<br />

follow <strong>in</strong> do<strong>in</strong>g the will of God, and yet he fulfilled God‟s will faithfully.<br />

668 + July 15. Dur<strong>in</strong>g Holy Mass, I offered <strong>my</strong>self completely to the heavenly Father<br />

through the sweetest Heart of Jesus; let Him do as He pleases with me. Of <strong>my</strong>self<br />
