duty of doing the known will of God. A great lack of health and physical strength is not a
sufficient reason and does not release me (193) from this work that the Lord Himself is
carrying out through me. I am to be just a tool in His hands. And so, O Lord, here I am
to carry out Your will. Command me according to Your eternal plans and desires. Only
give me the grace that I may always be faithful to You.
788 As I was conversing with the hidden God, He gave me to see and understand that I
should not be reflecting so much and building up fear of the difficulties which I might
encounter. Know that I am with you; I bring about the difficulties, and I overcome
them; in one instant, I can change a hostile disposition to one which is favorable to
this cause. The Lord explained many things to me in today‟s dialogue, although I am
not putting everything in writing.
789 Always and in all circumstances, yield the first place to others; especially during
recreation listen quietly, without interrupting, even if someone tells me the same thing ten
times. I will never ask questions about something that interests me very much.
790 (194) Resolution: still the same; namely, to unite myself with the Merciful Christ.
General resolution: interior calm, silence.
791 Hide me, Jesus, in the depths of Your mercy, and then let my neighbor judge me as he
pleases.
792 I must never speak of my own experiences. In suffering, I must seek relief in prayer. In
doubts, even the smallest, I must seek only the advice of my confessor. I must always
have a heart which is open to receive the sufferings of others, and drown my own
sufferings in the Divine Heart so that they would not be noticed on the outside, in so far
as possible.
I must always strive for equanimity, no matter how stormy the circumstances might be. I
must not allow anything to disturb my interior calm and silence. Nothing can compare
with peace of soul. When I am wrongfully accused of something, I will not explain myself;
if the superior wants to know (195) the truth, whether I was in the right or not, let her find
out from others rather than from me. My concern is to accept everything with a humble
inner disposition.
I will spend this Advent in accordance with the directions of the Mother of God: in
meekness and humility.
793 I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the
Lord‟s coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the
Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus,
make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill
and thus has more need than ever of Your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of
mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy.
You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy.
794 (196) Today [December 9, 1936], I am leaving for Pradnik, just outside Cracow, to
undergo treatment. I am to stay there for three months. I am being sent there through
