1056 At eleven o‟clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented<br />

Heart. I thought, after these words, that <strong>my</strong> heart would burn up. And He brought me<br />

<strong>in</strong>to such close <strong>in</strong>timacy with Himself that <strong>my</strong> heart was espoused to His Heart <strong>in</strong> a lov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

union, and I could feel the fa<strong>in</strong>test stir of His Heart and he, of m<strong>in</strong>e. The fire of <strong>my</strong><br />

created love was jo<strong>in</strong>ed to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace surpasses all<br />

others <strong>in</strong> its immensity. His Tr<strong>in</strong>itarian Be<strong>in</strong>g enveloped me entirely, and I am totally<br />

immersed <strong>in</strong> Him. My littleness is, as it were, wrestl<strong>in</strong>g with this Immortal Might One. I<br />

am immersed <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>comprehensible love and <strong>in</strong>comprehensible torture because of His<br />

Passion. All that concerns His Be<strong>in</strong>g is imparted to me also.<br />

1057 Up to now, Jesus has been br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g me to know about, and to have a presentiment of,<br />

this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it. My<br />

heart is <strong>in</strong> ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly noth<strong>in</strong>g disturbs <strong>my</strong> contacts<br />

with <strong>my</strong> neighbor or <strong>my</strong> attend<strong>in</strong>g to various matters. Noth<strong>in</strong>g is capable of <strong>in</strong>terrupt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>my</strong> ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from<br />

detection by people. And, together with this grace, there entered <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> a whole ocean<br />

of light, enabl<strong>in</strong>g me to understand God and <strong>my</strong>self. Amazement overwhelms me entirely<br />

and leads me as if <strong>in</strong>to a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to<br />

descend to me, who am so little.<br />

1058 (16) + At three o‟clock, I prayed prostrate, <strong>in</strong> the form of a cross, for the whole world.<br />

Jesus‟ mortal life was com<strong>in</strong>g to an end. I heard His seven words: then He looked at me<br />

and said, Beloved daughter of My Heart, you are My solace amidst terrible torments.<br />

1059 Jesus is command<strong>in</strong>g me to make a novena before the Feast of Mercy, and today I am to<br />

beg<strong>in</strong> it for the conversion of the whole world and for the recognition of The Div<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Mercy…. so that every <strong>soul</strong> will praise My goodness. I desire trust from My<br />

creatures. Encourage <strong>soul</strong>s to place great trust <strong>in</strong> My fathomless <strong>mercy</strong>. Let the<br />

weak, s<strong>in</strong>ful <strong>soul</strong>s have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more s<strong>in</strong>s that<br />

there are gra<strong>in</strong>s of sand <strong>in</strong> the world, all would be drowned <strong>in</strong> the unmeasurable<br />

depths of My <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1060 When Jesus had given up His last breath, <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> dissolved from the pa<strong>in</strong>, and for a long<br />

time I could not come to <strong>my</strong>self. I found some relief <strong>in</strong> tears. The One whom <strong>my</strong> heart<br />

had come to love has died. Will anyone understand <strong>my</strong> grief?<br />

1061 In the even<strong>in</strong>g, over the radio, I heard hymns; that is, psalms, sung by priests. 185 I burst<br />

<strong>in</strong>to tears, and all of the pa<strong>in</strong> was renewed <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, and I wept sorrowfully, unable to<br />

f<strong>in</strong>d appeasement <strong>in</strong> this pa<strong>in</strong>. Then I heard a voice <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>: Do not cry; I am not<br />

suffer<strong>in</strong>g any more. And for the faithfulness with which you accompanied Me <strong>in</strong> My<br />

suffer<strong>in</strong>gs and death, your own death will be a solemn one, and I will accompany<br />

you <strong>in</strong> that last hour. Beloved pearl of My Heart, I see your love so pure, purer than<br />

that of the angels, and all the more so because you keep fight<strong>in</strong>g. For your sake I<br />

bless the world. I see your efforts to please Me, and they delight My Heart.<br />

After these words, I wept no more, but thanked the heavenly Father for hav<strong>in</strong>g sent us His<br />

Son and for the work of the Redemption of mank<strong>in</strong>d.<br />

1062 (17) + I made an hour of adoration <strong>in</strong> thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g for the graces which had been granted<br />

me and for <strong>my</strong> illness. Illness also is a great grace. I have been ill for four months, but I<br />
