39 + One day Jesus told me that He would cause a chastisement to fall upon the most
beautiful city in our country [probably Warsaw]. This chastisement would be that with
which God had punished Sodom and Gomorrah 27 . I saw the great wrath of God and a
shudder pierced my heart. I prayed in silence. After a moment, Jesus said to me, My
child, unite yourself closely to Me during the Sacrifice and offer My Blood and My
Wounds to My Father in expiation for the sins of that city. Repeat this without
interruption throughout the entire Holy Mass. Do this for seven days. On the
seventh day I saw Jesus in a bright cloud and began to beg Him to look upon the city and
upon our whole country. Jesus looked [down] graciously. When I saw the kindness of
Jesus, I began to beg His blessing. Immediately Jesus said, For your sake I bless the
entire country. And He made a big sign of the cross over our country. Seeing the
goodness of God, a great joy filled my soul.
40 +The year 1929. Once during Holy Mass, I felt in a very special way the closeness of
God, although I tried to turn away and escape from Him. On several occasions I have run
away from God because I did not want to be a victim of the evil spirit; since others have
told me, more than once, that such is the case. And this incertitude lasted for quite some
time. During Holy Mass, before Communion, we had the renewal of vows. When we had
left our kneelers and had started to recite the formula for the vows, Jesus appeared
suddenly at my side clad in a white garment with a golden girdle around His waist, and He
said to me, I give you eternal love that your purity may be untarnished and as a sign
that you will never be subject to temptations against purity. Jesus took off His
golden cincture and tied it around my waist.
Since then I have never experienced any attacks against this virtue, either in my heart or
in my mind. I later understood that this was one of the greatest graces which the Most
Holy Virgin Mary had obtained for me, as for many years I had been asking this grace of
Her. Since that time I have experienced an increasing devotion to the Mother of God.
She has taught me how to love God interiorly and also how to carry out His holy will in all
things, O Mary, You are joy, because through You God descended to earth [and] into my
heart.
41 (16) On one occasion I saw a servant of God in the immediate danger of committing a
mortal sin. I started to beg God to deign to send down upon me all the torments of hell
and all the sufferings He wished if only this priest would be set free and snatched from the
occasion of committing a sin. Jesus heard my prayer and, that very instant, I felt a crown
of thorns on my head. The thorns penetrated my head with great force right into my
brain. This lasted for three hours; the servant of God was set free from this sin, and his
soul was strengthened by a special grace of God.
42 + Once, on Christmas Day [1928], I felt the omnipotence and the presence of God
surrounding me. And once more I fled from this interior meeting with the Lord. I asked
Mother Superior for permission to go to Jozefinek 28 to visit the sisters there. The Superior
gave us permission, and we started to get ready right after lunch. The other sisters were
already waiting for me at the door of the convent while I ran to my cell to get my cloak.
On my way back, as I was passing close to the little chapel, I saw Jesus standing in the
doorway. He said to me, Go ahead, but I am taking your heart. Suddenly I felt that I
had no heart in my chest. But the sisters were scolding me for lingering behind, saying
that it was already getting late, so I quickly went along with them. But a sense of
