ecause it is not my intention to write about such things, and I am doing so merely to
dissuade souls from treating others in this way, for this is displeasing to the Lord. In a
suffering soul we should see Jesus Crucified, and not a loafer or burden on the
community. A soul who suffers with submission to the will of God draws down more
blessings on the whole convent than all the working sisters. Poor indeed is a convent
where there are no sick sisters. God often grants many and great graces out of regard for
the soul who are suffering, and He withholds many punishments solely because of the
suffering souls.
1269 O my Jesus, when shall we look upon souls with higher motives in mind? When will our
judgments be true? You give us occasions to practice deeds of mercy, and instead we
use the occasions to pass judgment. In order to know whether the love of God flourishes
in a convent, one must ask how they treat the sick, the disabled, and the infirm who are
there.
1270 (28) September 10, [1937]. I learned in the course of meditation that the purer the soul,
the greater her communion with God on the spiritual level. She pays little heed to the
senses and their protests. God is a Spirit, and so I love Him in spirit and in truth.
1271 When I heard how dangerous it was to be at the gate these days because of revolutionary
disturbances and how many evil people have a hatred for convents, I went in and had a
talk with the Lord and asked Him to so arrange it that no evil person would dare come to
the gate. Then I heard these words: My daughter, the moment you went to the gate I
set a Cherub over it to guard it. Be at peace. After returning from my conversation
with the Lord, I saw a little white cloud and, in it, a Cherub with his hands joined. His
gaze was like lightning, and I understood how the fire of God‟s love burns in that look….
1272 (29) September 14, 1937. Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Today I saw what great
opposition this priest [Father Sopocko] is experiencing in regard to this whole matter.
Even devout souls who are zealous for God‟s glory are opposing him. That he is not
discouraged by all this is due to a special grace of God.
1273 Jesus: My daughter, do you think you have written enough about My mercy? What
you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean. I am Love and Mercy Itself.
There is no misery that could be a match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust
it, because as it is being granted – it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is
most fortunate, because I Myself take care of it.
1274 I experience great torments of soul when I see God offended. Today I recognized that
mortal sins were being committed not far from our door. It was evening. I prayed
earnestly in the chapel, (30) and then I went to scourge myself. When I knelt down to
pray, however, the Lord allowed me to experience how a soul rejected by God suffers. It
seems to me that my heart was torn to pieces, and at the same time I understood how
much such a soul wounds the most merciful Heart of Jesus. The poor creature does not
want to accept God‟s mercy. The more God has pursued a soul with His mercy, the more
just will He be towards it.
1275 My Secretary, write that I am more generous toward sinners that toward the just. It
was for their sake that I came down from heaven; it was for their sake that My
