difficult it was for them to speak about their poverty, so I went after them in a hurry and
brought them back, (44) giving them as much as I had permission for.
1298 O God, show me Your mercy
According to the compassion of the Heart of Jesus.
Hear my sighs and entreaties,
And the tears of a contrite heart.
O Omnipotent, ever-merciful God,
Your compassion is never exhausted.
Although my misery is as vast as the sea,
I have complete trust in the mercy of the Lord.
O Eternal Trinity, yet ever-gracious God,
Your compassion is without measure.
And so I trust in the sea of Your mercy,
And sense You, Lord, though a veil hold me aloof.
May the omnipotence of Your Mercy, O Lord.
Be glorified all over the world.
May its veneration never cease.
Proclaim, my soul, God‟s mercy with fervor.
1299 (45) September 27, [1937]. Today, Mother Superior and I went to see a certain
gentleman 213 where they were printing and painting small holy cards of The Divine Mercy,
and also the invocations and the chaplet, which have already received approbation. And
we were also to see the improved larger image. 214 It very much resembles the original.
This made me very happy.
1300 When I looked at this image, I was pierced with such a lively love for God that, for a
moment, I did not know where I was. When we had finished our business, we went to the
Church of the Most Holy Virgin Mary. We attended Holy Mass, during which the Lord
gave me to know what a great number of souls would attain salvation through this work.
Then I entered into an intimate conversation with the Lord, thanking Him for having
condescended to grant me the grace of seeing how the veneration of His unfathomable
mercy is spreading. I immersed myself in a profound prayer of thanksgiving. Oh, how
great is God‟s generosity! Blessed be the Lord, who is faithful (46) in His promises…..
1301 It is extraordinary how Mother Irene has so much light from God concerning this whole
matter. She was the first to allow me to carry out the Lord‟s wishes, although it was not
until two years after the revelation that she became my superior. And despite this fact,
she was the first to go with me when the painting of the image was first undertaken. And
now again, when some things concerning the Divine Mercy are being published, and
small holy cards are being printed, again it is she who is going with me [to take care of]
this matter. God has ordained all this in a mysterious way, because this was begin in
Vilnius, and now God‟s will has so directed the circumstances that this matter is being
continued in Cracow. I know how pleasing this superior is to God; I see how God is
directing everything and wants me to be under her protection during these important
times…. Thank You, Lord, for such superiors, who live in the love (47) and fear of God.
