Oh, how good the Lord is, and how full of compassion; Jesus, how heartily I thank You for
these graces.
918 February 5, 1937. My Jesus, in spite of everything, I desire very much to unite myself to
You. Jesus, if this be possible, takes me to Yourself, for it seems to me that my heart will
burst of longing for You!
Oh, how very much I feel that I am in exile! When will I find myself in the house of our
Father, delighting in the happiness that streams from the Most Holy Trinity? But, if it is
Your will that I still go on living and suffering, then I desire what You have destined for
me. Keep me here on earth for as long as You wish, even though this be until the end of
the world. O will of my Lord, be my delight and the rapture of my soul. Although the earth
is so filled with people, I feel all alone, and the earth is a terrible desert to me. O Jesus,
Jesus, You know and understand the fervors of my heart; You, O Lord, alone can fill me.
919 (275) + Today, when I warned a certain young lady that she should not be standing for
hours in the corridor with the men, because it was unbecoming for a well-bred young lady
to do so, she apologized and promised to correct herself. She began to cry when she
became aware of her thoughtlessness. As I was saying these few things to her
concerning moral behavior, all the men from the ward came over and listened to my
words of advice. The Jewish people even heard a few things about themselves. A
certain person told me afterwards that they put their ears against the wall and listened
attentively. I somehow felt they were listening, but I said what I had to say. The walls are
so thin here that one can be heard, even when speaking in a low voice.
920 +There is a woman here 165 who was once one of our students. Naturally, she puts my
patience to the test. She comes to see me several times a day. After each of these visits
I am tired out, but I see that the Lord Jesus has sent that soul to me. Let everything
glorify You, O Lord. Patience gives glory to God. O how poor the souls are!
921 (276) February 6, [1937]. Today, the Lord said to me, My daughter, I am told that there
is much simplicity in you, so why do you not tell Me about everything that
concerns you, even the smallest details? Tell Me about everything, and know that
this will give Me great joy. I answered, “But You know about everything, Lord.” And
Jesus replied to me, Yes, I do know; but you should not excuse yourself with the fact
that I know, but with childlike simplicity talk to Me about everything, for My ears
and heart are inclined towards you, and your words are dear to Me.
922 + When I began this big novena for three intentions, I saw a tiny insect on the ground and
thought: how did it get here in the middle of winter: Then I heard the following words in
my soul: You see, I am thinking of it and sustaining it, and what is it compared to
you? Why was your soul fearful for a moment? I apologized to the Lord for that
moment. Jesus wants me to always be a child and to leave all care to Him, and to submit
blindly to His holy will. He took everything upon Himself.
923 (277) February 7, [1937]. Today, the Lord said to me, I demand of you a perfect and
whole-burnt offering; and offering of the will. No other sacrifice can compare with
this one. I Myself am directing your life and arranging things in such a way that
you will be for Me a continual sacrifice and will always do My will. And for the
