matter if there are times when the work seems to be completely destroyed; it is then that the
work is being all the more consolidated.
1660 My soul was filled with a peace much deeper than anything I had experienced before, a
divine reassurance which nothing can efface, a deep peace which nothing can disturb, even
though I were to go through the severest of ordeals. (47) I am at peace; God Himself
governs all things.
1661 I spent the whole day in thanksgiving, and gratitude kept flooding my soul. O my God, how
good You are, how great is Your mercy! You visit me with so many graces, me who am a
most wretched speck of dust. Prostrating myself at Your feet, O Lord, I confess with a
sincere heart that I have done nothing to deserve even the least of Your graces. It is in Your
infinite goodness that You give Yourself to me so generously. Therefore, the greater the
graces which my heart receives, the deeper it plunges itself in humility.
1662 + O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to
infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold
out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me. I will glorify You in abandonment and
darkness, in agony and fear, (48) in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart.
In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself
are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern.
1663 Holy Thursday [April 14, 1938]. Today I felt strong enough to take part in the ceremonies of
the Church. During Holy Mass, Jesus stood before me and said, Look into My Heart and
see there the love and mercy which I have for humankind, and especially for sinners.
Look, and enter into My Passion. In an instant, I experienced and lived through the whole
Passion of Jesus in my own heart. I was surprised that these tortures did not deprive me of
my life.
1664 During adoration, Jesus said to me, My daughter, know that your ardent love and the
compassion you have for Me were a consolation to Me in the Garden [of Olives].
1665 (49) During Holy Hour in the evening, I heard the words, You see My mercy for sinners,
which at this moment is revealing itself in all its power. See how little you have written
about it; it is only a single drop. Do what is in your power, so that sinners may come
to know My goodness.
1666 Good Friday [April 15, 1938] I saw the Lord Jesus, tortured, but not nailed to the Cross. It
was still before the crucifixion, and He said to me, You are My Heart. Speak to sinners
about My mercy. And the Lord gave me interior knowledge of the whole abyss of His mercy
for souls, and I learned that that which I had written is truly a drop.
1667 Holy Saturday [April 16, 1938]. During adoration, the Lord said to me, Be at peace, My
daughter. This Work of mercy is Mine; there is nothing of you in it. It pleases Me that
you are carrying out faithfully what I have commanded you to do, not adding or taking
away a single word. And he gave me an interior light by (50) which I learned that not a
single word was mine; despite difficulties and adversities. I have always, always, fulfilled His
will, as he has made it known to me.
