the great solicitude of <strong>my</strong> superiors, especially that of our dear Mother General [Michael],<br />

who is so solicitous for the sisters who are ill.<br />

795 I have accepted the favor of this treatment, but I am fully resigned to the will of god. Let<br />

God do with me as He pleases. I desire noth<strong>in</strong>g but the fulfillment of his holy will. I am<br />

unit<strong>in</strong>g <strong>my</strong>self with the Mother of God, and I am leav<strong>in</strong>g Nazareth and go<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

Bethlehem. I will spend Christmas there among strangers, yet with Jesus, Mary and<br />

Joseph, because such is the will of God. I am striv<strong>in</strong>g to do the will of God <strong>in</strong> all th<strong>in</strong>gs. I<br />

do not desire a return to health more than death. I entrust <strong>my</strong>self completely to His<br />

<strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite <strong>mercy</strong> and, as a little child, I am liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the greatest peace. I am try<strong>in</strong>g only to<br />

make <strong>my</strong> love for Him deeper and purer, to be a delight to His <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> glance……<br />

796 (197) The Lord told me to say this chaplet for n<strong>in</strong>e days before the Feast of Mercy. It is<br />

to beg<strong>in</strong> on Good Friday. By this novena, I will grant every possible grace to <strong>soul</strong>s.<br />

797 When I was somewhat overcome by the fear that I was to be outside the community for<br />

so long a time alone, Jesus said to me, You will not be alone, because I am with you<br />

always and everywhere. Near to My Heart, fear noth<strong>in</strong>g. I Myself am the cause of<br />

your departure. Know that My eyes follow every move of your heart with great<br />

attention. I am br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g you <strong>in</strong>to seclusion so that I Myself may form your heart<br />

accord<strong>in</strong>g to My future plans. What are you afraid of? If you are with Me, who will<br />

dare touch you? Nevertheless, I am very pleased that you confide your fears to<br />

Me, My daughter. Speak to Me about everyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a completely simple and human<br />

way; by this you will give Me great joy. I understand you because I am God-Man.<br />

(198) This simple language of your heart is more pleas<strong>in</strong>g to Me than the hymns<br />

composed <strong>in</strong> My honor. Know, My daughter, that the simpler your speech is, the<br />

more you attract Me to yourself. And now, be at peace close to My Heart. Lay your<br />

pen aside and get ready to leave.<br />

798 December 9, 1936. This morn<strong>in</strong>g, I left for Pradnik. Sister Chrysostom drove me here. I<br />

have a private room to <strong>my</strong>self; I am very much like a Carmelite. When Sister<br />

Chrysostom had left and I was alone, I steeped <strong>my</strong>self <strong>in</strong> prayer, entrust<strong>in</strong>g <strong>my</strong>self to the<br />

special protection of the Mother of God. She alone is always with me. She, like a good<br />

Mother, watches over all <strong>my</strong> trials and efforts.<br />

799 Suddenly, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My child. See, you are<br />

not alone. My Heart watches over you. Jesus filled me with strength concern<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

certa<strong>in</strong> person. I feel strength with<strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

(199) A moral pr<strong>in</strong>ciple.<br />

800 If one does not know what is better, one must reflect, consider and seek advice, because<br />

one must not act with an uncerta<strong>in</strong> conscience. When uncerta<strong>in</strong>, say to yourself:<br />

“Whatever I do will be good. I have the <strong>in</strong>tention of do<strong>in</strong>g good.” The Lord God accepts<br />

what we consider good, and the Lord God also accepts and considers it as good. One<br />

should not worry if, after some time, one sees that these th<strong>in</strong>gs are not good. God looks<br />

at the <strong>in</strong>tention with which we beg<strong>in</strong>, and will reward us accord<strong>in</strong>gly. This is a pr<strong>in</strong>ciple<br />

which we ought to follow.<br />
