divine-mercy-in-my-soul

Christ, true God and true Man. My heart flutters with joy to see how good God is to us
wretched and ungrateful people. And as a proof of His love, He gives us the
incomprehensible gift of Himself in the person of His Son. Throughout all eternity we shall
never exhaust that mystery of love. O mankind, why do you think so little about God being
truly among us? O Lamb of God, I do not know what to admire in You first: Your gentleness,
Your hidden life, the emptying of Yourself for the sake of man, or the constant miracle of
Your mercy, which transforms souls (153) and raises them up to eternal life. Although You
are hidden in this way, Your omnipotence is more manifest here than in the creation of man.
Though the omnipotence of Your mercy is at work in the justification of the sinner, yet Your
action is gentle and hidden.
1585 A vision of the Mother of God. In the midst of a great brilliance, I saw the Mother of God
clothed in a white gown, girt about with a golden cincture; and there were tiny stars, also of
gold, over the whole garment, and chevron-shaped sleeves lined with gold,. Her cloak was
sky-blue, lightly thrown over the shoulders. A transparent veil was delicately drawn over her
head, while her flowing hair was set off beautifully by a golden crown which terminated in
little crosses. On Her left arm She held the Child Jesus. A Blessed Mother of this type I had
not yet seen. Then She looked at me kindly and said: I am the Mother of God of Priests. 235
At that, She lowered Jesus from her arm to the ground, raised Her right hand heavenward
and said: O God, bless Poland, bless priests. Then She addressed me once again: Tell the
priests what you have seen. (154) I resolved that at the first opportunity [I would have] of
seeing Father [Andrasz] I would tell;
1586 O my Jesus, You see how very grateful I am to Father Sopocko, who has advanced Your
work so much. That soul, so humble, has had to endure all the storms. He has not allowed
himself to become discouraged by adversities, but has faithfully responded to the call of God.
1587 + One of the sisters was appointed to look after the sick, but she was so negligent that one
had to practice real mortification. One day, I made up my mind to tell the Superior about it,
but then I heard a voice in my soul: Bear it patiently; someone else will tell her. But the
service was like that for a whole month. When I was finally able to come down to the
refectory and to recreation, I heard these words in my soul: Now other sisters are going to
tell (155) about that sister‟s negligent service, but you are to keep silent and not speak
about the matter. And at that point there broke out sharp criticism of the sister, but she
could find nothing [to say] in her own defense, and all the sisters said in chorus, “Sister, you
had better improve in your care of the sick.” I have found that sometimes the Lord does not
want us to say something on our own; He has His ways and knows when to speak out.
1588 Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to
My People. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I
do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful
Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is
reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending
the Day of Mercy. I replied, “O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are
insignificant.”
