want to save them all. On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by
the lance for all souls – no one have I excluded!
1183 O Jesus, I want to live in the present moment, to live as if this were the last day of my life.
I want to use every moment scrupulously for the greater glory of God, to use every
circumstance for the benefit of my soul. I want to look upon everything, from the point of
view that nothing happens without the will of God.
God of unfathomable mercy, embrace the whole world and pour Youself out upon us
through the merciful Heart of Jesus.
1184 On an earlier occasion.
In the evening, I saw the Lord Jesus upon the cross. From His hands, feet, and side the
Most Sacred Blood was flowing. After some time, Jesus said to me, All this is for the
salvation of souls. Consider well, My daughter, what you are doing for their
salvation. I answered, “Jesus, when I look at Your suffering, I see that I am doing next to
nothing for the salvation of souls.” And the Lord said to me, Know, My daughter, that
your silent day-to-day martyrdom in complete submission to My will ushers many
souls into heaven. And when it seems to you that your suffering exceeds your
strength, contemplate My wounds, (51) and you will rise above human scorn and
judgment. Meditation on My passion will help you rise above all things. I
understood many things I had been unable to comprehend before.
1185 July 9, 1937. This evening, one of the deceased sisters came and asked me for one day
of fasting and to offer all my [spiritual] exercises on that day for her. I answered that I
would.
1186 From early morning on the following day, I offered everything for her intention. During
Holy Mass, I had a brief experience of her torment. I experienced such intense hunger for
God that I seemed to be dying of the desire to become united with Him. This lasted only
a short time, but I understood what the longing of the souls in purgatory was like.
1187 Immediately after Holy Mass, I asked Mother Superior‟s permission to fast, but I did not
receive it because of my illness. When I entered the chapel, I heard these words: “If you
had fasted, Sister, I would not have gotten relief until the evening, but for the sake of your
obedience, which prevented you from fasting, I obtained this relief at once. Obedience
has great power.” After these words I heard: “May God reward you.”
1188 I often pray for Poland, but I see that God is very angry with it because of its
ingratitude. 201 I exert all the strength of my soul to defend it. I constantly remind God of
the promises of His mercy. When I see His anger, I throw myself trustingly into the abyss
of His mercy, and I plunge all Poland in it, and then He cannot use His justice. My
country, how much you cost me! There is no day in which I do not pray for you.
1189 (52) (A sentence from Saint Vincent de Paul: “The Lord always sets His hand to a task
when He removes all human means and orders us to do a thing that exceeds our
strength.”)
