do not recall hav<strong>in</strong>g wasted so much as a m<strong>in</strong>ute of it. All has been for God and <strong>soul</strong>s; I<br />

want to be faithful to Him everywhere.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g this adoration, I realized the utter care and goodness that Jesus has been<br />

lavish<strong>in</strong>g upon me and the protection He has given me aga<strong>in</strong>st all evil. I thank You<br />

especially, Jesus, for visit<strong>in</strong>g me <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> solitude, and I thank You also for <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g <strong>my</strong><br />

superiors to send me for this treatment. Give them, Jesus, the omnipotence of Your<br />

bless<strong>in</strong>g and compensate them for all the losses <strong>in</strong>curred because of me.<br />

1063 Today, Jesus is bidd<strong>in</strong>g me to comfort and reassure a certa<strong>in</strong> <strong>soul</strong> who has opened<br />

herself to me and told me about her difficulties. This <strong>soul</strong> is pleas<strong>in</strong>g to the Lord, but she<br />

is not aware of it. God is keep<strong>in</strong>g her <strong>in</strong> deep humility. I have carried out the Lord‟s<br />

directives.<br />

1064 + O <strong>my</strong> most sweet Master, good Jesus, I give You <strong>my</strong> heart. You shape and mold it<br />

after Your lik<strong>in</strong>g. O fathomless love, I open the calyx of <strong>my</strong> heart to You, like a rosebud to<br />

the freshness of dew. To You alone, <strong>my</strong> Betrothed, is known the fragrance of the flower<br />

of <strong>my</strong> heart. Let the fragrance of <strong>my</strong> sacrifice be pleas<strong>in</strong>g to You. O Immortal God, <strong>my</strong><br />

everlast<strong>in</strong>g delight, already here on earth You are <strong>my</strong> heaven. May every beat of <strong>my</strong><br />

heart be a new hymn of praise to You, O Holy Tr<strong>in</strong>ity! Had I as many hearts as there are<br />

drops of water <strong>in</strong> the ocean or gra<strong>in</strong>s of sand <strong>in</strong> the whole world, I would offer them all to<br />

You, O <strong>my</strong> Love, O Treasure of <strong>my</strong> heart! Whomever I shall meet <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> life, no matter<br />

who they may be, I want to draw them all to love You, O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, <strong>my</strong> Beauty, <strong>my</strong><br />

Repose, <strong>my</strong> sole Master, Judge, Savior and Spouse, all <strong>in</strong> one; I know that one title will<br />

modify the other – I have entrusted everyth<strong>in</strong>g to Your <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1065 (18) + My Jesus, support me when difficult and stor<strong>my</strong> days come, days of test<strong>in</strong>g, days<br />

of ordeal, when suffer<strong>in</strong>g and fatigue beg<strong>in</strong> to oppress <strong>my</strong> body and <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>. Susta<strong>in</strong> me,<br />

Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffer<strong>in</strong>g. Set a guard upon <strong>my</strong> lips that they may<br />

address no word of compla<strong>in</strong>t to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all <strong>my</strong> hope. I<br />

have noth<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>my</strong> defense but only Your <strong>mercy</strong>; <strong>in</strong> it lies all <strong>my</strong> trust.<br />

1066 March 27, 1937. Today, I returned from Pradnik, after nearly four months of treatment.<br />

For everyth<strong>in</strong>g, I give great thanks to God. I have made use of every moment to glorify<br />

God. When I went <strong>in</strong>to the chapel for a moment, I realized how much I would have to<br />

suffer and struggle, with regard to this whole matter. O Jesus, <strong>my</strong> strength, You alone<br />

can help me; grant me fortitude.<br />

1067 March 28. Resurrection. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the Mass of Resurrection, I saw the Lord <strong>in</strong> beauty and<br />

splendor, and He said to me, My daughter, peace be with you. He blessed me and<br />

disappeared, and <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> was filled with gladness and joy beyond words. My heart was<br />

fortified for struggle and suffer<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

1068 Today, I had a conversation with Father [Andrasz] and he recommended great caution <strong>in</strong><br />

the matter of these sudden appearances of the Lord Jesus. When he was speak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

about <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>mercy</strong>, some sort of strength and power entered <strong>my</strong> heart. My God, I want<br />

so much to express everyth<strong>in</strong>g and am so very unable to do so. Father tells me that the<br />

Lord Jesus is very generous <strong>in</strong> communicat<strong>in</strong>g himself to <strong>soul</strong>s and, on the other hand,<br />

He is, so to speak, st<strong>in</strong>gy. “Although God‟s generosity is very great,” said Father, “be<br />
