1534 + I saw a certain priest‟s efforts in prayer. His prayer is similar to that of the Lord Jesus
in the Garden of Olives. Oh, if that priest [probably [Father Sopocko] only knew how
pleasing to God that prayer was!
1535 O Jesus, I am locking myself in Your most merciful Heart as in a fortress, impregnable
against the missiles of my enemies.
1536 Today I found myself in the presence of a certain dying person who was approaching
death in my home neighborhood. I supported her with my prayers and, after a few
moments, I felt for a short while pain in my hands, feet and side……
1537 (122) January 27, 1938. During Holy Hour today, Jesus complained to me about the
ingratitude of souls:
In return for My blessings, I get ingratitude. In return for My love, I get
forgetfulness and indifference. My Heart cannot bear this.
1538 At that moment, love for Jesus was enkindled so strongly in my heart that, offering
myself for ungrateful souls, I immersed myself completely in Him. When I came to my
senses, the Lord allowed me to taste a little of the ingratitude which flooded His Heart.
This experience lasted for a short while.
1539 Today I said to the Lord, “When will You take me to Yourself I‟ve been feeling so ill, and
I‟ve been waiting for Your coming with such longing!” Jesus answered me, Be always
ready; I will not leave you in this exile for long. My holy will must be fulfilled in
you. O Lord, if Your holy will has not yet been entirely fulfilled in me, here I am, ready
for everything that you want, O Lord! (123) O my Jesus, there is only one thing which
surprises me; namely, that You make so many secrets known to me; but that one secret
– the hour of my death – You do not want to tell me. And the Lord answered me, Be at
peace; I will let you know, but not just now. Ah, my Lord, I beg Your pardon for
wanting to know this. You know very well why, because You know my yearning heart,
which is eagerly going out to You. You know that I should not want to die even a minute
before the time which You have appointed for me before the ages.
Jesus listened with wondrous kindness to the outpourings of my heart.
1540 (124) January 28, 1938. Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, write down these
words: All those souls who will glorify My mercy and spread its worship,
encouraging others to trust in My mercy, will not experience terror at the hour of
death. My mercy will shield them in that final battle……
1541 My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It
pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet. When
hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their
death will be a happy one.
Write this for the benefit of distressed souls; when a soul sees and realized the
gravity of its sins, when the whole abyss of the misery into which it immersed
itself is displayed before its eyes, let it not despair, but with trust let it throw itself
into the arms of My mercy, as a child into the arms of its beloved mother. These
