divine-mercy-in-my-soul

The veils of mystery hinder me not at all;
I love You as do Your chosen ones in heaven.
I bow down before You, O Lamb of God
Who take away the sins of my soul,
Whom I receive into my heart each morn,
You who are my saving help.

1325 O my God, let everything that is in me praise You, my Lord and Creator; and with every
beat of my heart I want to praise Your unfathomable mercy. I want to tell souls of Your
goodness and encourage them to trust in Your mercy. That is my mission, which You
Yourself have entrusted to me, O Lord, in this life and in the life to come.
1326 We are beginning an eight-day retreat today. 215 Jesus, my Master, help me to make
these holy retreat exercises with the greatest fervor possible. May Your Spirit guide me,
O God, into the most profound depths of knowledge of Yourself, and of my own self as
well. For I shall love You only as much as I shall come to know You. And I shall despise
myself only as much as I shall come to known my misery. I know, Lord, that You will not
refuse me Your help. I desire to come out of this retreat a saint, even though human (4)
eyes will not notice this, not even those of the superiors. I abandon myself entirely to the
action of Your grace. Let Your will be accomplished entirely in me, O Lord.
1327 First day. Jesus: My daughter, this retreat will be an uninterrupted contemplation. I
will bring you into this retreat as into a spiritual banquet. Close to My merciful
Heart, you will meditate upon all the graces your heart has received, and a deep
peace will accompany your soul. I want the eyes of your soul to be always fixed on
My holy will, since it is in this way that you will please Me most. No sacrifices can
be compared to this. Throughout all the exercises you will remain close to My
Heart. You shall not undertake any reforms, because I will dispose of your whole
life as I see fit. The priest who will preach the retreat will not speak a single word
which will trouble you.
1328 My Jesus, I have already made two meditations, and I recognize, through them, that
everything You have said is true. I am experiencing a profound peace, (5) and this peace
flows from the witness of my conscience; that is to say, that I am always doing Your will,
O Lord.
1329 In the meditation on the goal of man, I understood that this truth is deeply rooted in my
soul, and that my deeds are therefore the more perfect. I know why I was created. All
creatures taken together cannot take the place, for me, of my Creator. I know that God is
my ultimate goal and so, in whatever I undertake, I take God into account.
1330 + Oh, how good it is to spend a retreat close to the most sweet heart of my God. I am in
the wilderness with my Beloved. No one interrupts my sweet conversation with Him.
