as a dove, without complaint. Let all my desires, even the holiest, noblest and most
beautiful, take always the last place and Your holy will, the very first. The least of Your
desires, O Lord, is more precious to me than heaven, with all its treasures. I know very
well that people will not understand me; that is why my sacrifice will be purer in Your
eyes.
958 Some days ago, a certain person came to me and asked me to pray for her intention, as
she had some urgent and important business. All of a sudden, I felt in my soul that this
matter was not pleasing to God, and I replied that I would not pray for this intention, “but I
will pray for you, in general” [I added]. A few days later, this lady came back to me and
thanked me for not having prayed for her intention, but rather for her, because she had
been motivated by a spirit of revenge toward a certain person to whom she owed respect
and veneration in virtue (302) of the fourth commandment. The Lord Jesus had changed
her interior [dispositions], and she herself acknowledged her guilt; but was, however,
surprised that I had penetrated her secret.
959 + Today I received a letter from Father Sopocko, who sent me greetings for my feast day
[February 15]. His greetings gave me joy, but his poor health made me sad. I had known
about this by interior intuition, but had not quite believed it. But it seems to me that if he
himself wrote that this was so, then the other things about which he did not write are also
true, and my interior knowledge has not deceived me. He requested me to underline all
that I know does not come from me; that is to say, all that Jesus tells me which I hear in
my soul. 172 He has already asked me to do this several times, but I did not have the time
and, to tell the truth, I was in no hurry to do so. But how does he know that I have not
done this? I was very surprised; but now I am setting about this work with all my heart. O
my Jesus, Your representative‟s will is clearly Your holy will, without a shadow of a doubt.
960 (303) February 16, 1937. Today I entered a neighboring room by mistake and so, for a
while, I talked with the person who was there. When I returned to my own room I thought
about that person for a few moments. Then suddenly, Jesus stood by my side and said.
My daughter, what are you thinking about right now? Without thinking, I snuggled
close to His heart, because I realized that I had been thinking too much about creatures.
961 + This morning after completing my spiritual exercises, I began at once to crochet. I
sensed a stillness in my heart; I sensed that Jesus was resting in it. That deep and sweet
consciousness of God‟s presence prompted me to say to the Lord, “O Most Holy Trinity
dwelling in my heart, I beg You: grant the grace of conversion to as many souls as the
[number of] stitches that I will make today with this crochet hook.” Then I heard these
words in my soul: My daughter, too great are your demands, “Jesus, You know that
for You it is easier to grant much rather than a little.” That is so, it is less difficult for
Me to grant a soul much rather than a little, but every conversion of a sinful soul
demands sacrifice. “Well, Jesus, I offer You (304) this whole-hearted work of mine; this
offering does not seem to me to be too small for such a large number of souls; You know,
Jesus, that for thirty years You were saving souls by just this kind of work. And since holy
obedience forbids me to perform great penances and mortifications, therefore I ask You,
Lord; accept these mere nothings stamped with the seal of obedience as great things.”
Then I heard a voice in my soul: My dear daughter, I comply with your request.
962 + I often see a certain person dear to God. The Lord has great love for him, not only
because he is striving to spread the veneration of God‟s mercy, but also because of the
