<strong>mercy</strong>; and thirdly, deeds of <strong>mercy</strong>. And when the Last Day comes, we shall be judged<br />

from this, and on this basis we shall receive the eternal verdict.<br />

1159 God‟s floodgates have been opened for us. Let us want to take advantage of them before<br />

the day of God‟s justice arrives. And that will be a dreadful day!<br />

1160 (44) When once I asked the Lord Jesus how He could tolerate so many s<strong>in</strong>s and crimes<br />

and not punish them, the Lord answered me, I have eternity for punish<strong>in</strong>g [these], and<br />

so I am prolong<strong>in</strong>g the time of <strong>mercy</strong> for the sake of [s<strong>in</strong>ners]. But woe to them if<br />

they do not recognize this time of My visitation. My daughter, secretary of My<br />

<strong>mercy</strong>, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim My <strong>mercy</strong>, but also to beg<br />

for this grace for them, so that they too may glorify My <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1161 Today, <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> suffered such agony that I began to compla<strong>in</strong> to the Lord Jesus, “Jesus,<br />

how can You leave me alone? I cannot take even one step forward by <strong>my</strong>self. You have<br />

taken <strong>my</strong> confessor away, and You Yourself are hid<strong>in</strong>g from me. Surely, You know,<br />

Jesus, that of <strong>my</strong>self I know noth<strong>in</strong>g but how to waste Your graces. Jesus, You must<br />

arrange th<strong>in</strong>gs so that Father Andrasz will return.” But the anguish persisted.<br />

1162 It occurred to me to go to some priest and tell him of <strong>my</strong> anguish as well as some various<br />

<strong>in</strong>spirations, that he might resolve them for me; and I shared this idea with Mother<br />

Superior [Irene]. Mother replied, “I understand, Sister, that you are go<strong>in</strong>g through a<br />

difficult time, but at present, I really do not know of any priest who would be suitable for<br />

you. At any rate, Father Andrasz will be return<strong>in</strong>g soon. So, for now, go and tell<br />

everyth<strong>in</strong>g to the lord Jesus.”<br />

1163 When I went to talk with the Lord for a while, I heard a voice <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>: My – I will not<br />

give you the grace to reveal yourself to someone else, and even if you did bare<br />

yourself, I will not give that priest the grace needed to understand you. At this<br />

time, it is My desire that you put up with yourself patiently. (45) My daughter, it is<br />

not My will that you should tell everybody about the gifts I have granted you. I<br />

have entrusted you to the care of the friend of My Heart, and under his direction<br />

your <strong>soul</strong> will bloom. I have given him light to recognize My life <strong>in</strong> your <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

1164 My daughter, when I was before Herod, I obta<strong>in</strong>ed a grace for you; namely, that you<br />

would be able to rise above human scorn and follow faithfully <strong>in</strong> My footsteps. Be<br />

silent when they do not want to acknowledge your truth, because it is then that you<br />

speak more eloquently.<br />

1165 Know this, My daughter: if you strive for perfection you will sanctify many <strong>soul</strong>s;<br />

and if you do not strive for sanctity, by the same token, many <strong>soul</strong>s will rema<strong>in</strong><br />

imperfect. Know that their perfection will depend on your perfection, and the<br />

greater part of the responsibility for these <strong>soul</strong>s will fall on you.<br />

1166 Then He said to me, Do not fear, My child; but rema<strong>in</strong> faithful only to My grace…..<br />

1167 Satan has admitted to me that I am the object of his hatred. He said that “a thousand<br />

<strong>soul</strong>s do me less harm than you do when you speak of the great <strong>mercy</strong> of the Almighty<br />

One. The greatest s<strong>in</strong>ners rega<strong>in</strong> confidence and return to God, and I lose everyth<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

But what is more, you persecute me personally with that unfathomable <strong>mercy</strong> of the<br />
