ut not death. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, do with me as You please. Only give me strength to suffer.<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce Your strength supports me, I shall bear everyth<strong>in</strong>g. O <strong>soul</strong>s, how I love you!<br />

1614 Today, one of the sisters [probably Sister Amelia 239 ] came to see me and said, “Sister, I have<br />

a strange feel<strong>in</strong>g, as though someth<strong>in</strong>g were tell<strong>in</strong>g me to come to you and commend to you<br />

certa<strong>in</strong> problems of m<strong>in</strong>e before you die, and that perhaps you will able to beseech the Lord<br />

Jesus and arrange these th<strong>in</strong>gs for me. Someth<strong>in</strong>g keeps tell<strong>in</strong>g me that you will be able to<br />

obta<strong>in</strong> this for me.” I answered her with equal frankness that, yes, I felt <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> that (15)<br />

after <strong>my</strong> death I would be able to obta<strong>in</strong> more from the Lord Jesus than at the present time.<br />

“I will remember you, Sister, before His throne.”<br />

1615 When I entered the neighbor<strong>in</strong>g dormitory to visit the sisters who were ill, one of them said to<br />

me, “Sister, when you die I will not fear you at all. Come to see me after you die, because I<br />

want to confide to you a secret concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, someth<strong>in</strong>g I want you to settle for me<br />

with the Lord Jesus. I know you can obta<strong>in</strong> this from Him.” Because she was speak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

public I answered her <strong>in</strong> this way: “The Lord Jesus is very discreet. And so He never<br />

betrays to anyone a secret that is between Him and a <strong>soul</strong>.”<br />

1616 + O <strong>my</strong> Lord, thank You for conform<strong>in</strong>g me to Yourself through immolation. I see that this<br />

earthly vessel is beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to crumble. I rejoice <strong>in</strong> this, (16) because soon I will be <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong><br />

Father‟s house [cf. Jn. 14:2].<br />

1617 February 27, [1938]. Today, I went to confession to Father An. [Andrasz] I did as Jesus<br />

wanted. After confession, a surge of light filled <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>. Then I heard a voice: Because<br />

you are a child, you shall rema<strong>in</strong> close to My Heart. Your simplicity is more pleas<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to Me than your mortifications.<br />

1618 Father An. [Andrasz‟s] words: Live more by faith. Pray that the Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy become more<br />

widely known, and that the work may come <strong>in</strong>to good hands that will manage it well. As for<br />

yourself, try to be a good religious here – although th<strong>in</strong>gs may turn out that way also – but try<br />

to be a good religious right here. And now, if you feel those urg<strong>in</strong>gs from the Lord and<br />

recognize that it is He, follow them. Devote to prayer all the time that is set apart for it, and<br />

make your notations afterwards……..<br />

1619 (17) + The last two days of carnival. 240 My physical suffer<strong>in</strong>gs have <strong>in</strong>tensified. I am unit<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>my</strong>self more closely with the suffer<strong>in</strong>g Savior, ask<strong>in</strong>g Him for <strong>mercy</strong> for the whole world,<br />

which is runn<strong>in</strong>g riot <strong>in</strong> its wickedness. Throughout the day I felt the pa<strong>in</strong> of the crown of<br />

thorns. When I lay down, I could not rest <strong>my</strong> head on the pillow. But at ten o‟clock the pa<strong>in</strong>s<br />

ceased, and I feel asleep; but the next day I felt very exhausted.<br />

1620 + Jesus-Host, if You Yourself did not susta<strong>in</strong> me, I would not be able to persevere on the<br />

cross. I would not be able to endure so much suffer<strong>in</strong>g. But the power of Your grace<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s me on a higher level and makes <strong>my</strong> suffer<strong>in</strong>gs meritorious. You give me strength<br />

always to move forward and to ga<strong>in</strong> heaven by force and to have love <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> heart for those<br />

from whom I suffer adversities and contempt. With Your grace one can do all th<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

1621 (18) March 1, 1938. One-day Retreat.<br />

In meditation, I learned that I should hide <strong>my</strong>self as deeply as possible <strong>in</strong> the Heart of Jesus,<br />

meditate upon His Sorrowful Passion, and penetrate <strong>in</strong>to the sentiments of His Div<strong>in</strong>e Heart,<br />
