1675 On the following day, Sister Felicia took me there. I left in great peace and a calm spirit. (54)
When we arrived they told us there was a private room for Sister Faustina. When we entered
the room we were surprised that everything had been prepared so beautifully: all was clean
and neat, covered with tablecloths and bedecked with flowers; a pretty Easter Lamb had
been place on the night table by the Sisters. 248 At once, three Sacred Heart Sisters 249 who
work at the sanatorium, my old acquaintances, came and greeted me warmly. Sister Felicia
was surprised at all this. We bid a warm farewell to each other, and she left. When I was
alone, with just the Lord Jesus and myself, I thanked Him for this great grace.
1676 Jesus said to me, Be at peace; I am with you. Tired, I fell asleep. In the evening, the sister
[Sister David] who was to look after me came and said, “Tomorrow you will not receive the
Lord Jesus, Sister, because you are very tired; later on, we shall see.” This hurt me very
much, but I said with great calmness, “Very well,” and, resigning myself totally (55) to the will
of the Lord, I tried to sleep. In the morning, I made my meditation and prepared for Holy
Communion, even though I was not to receive the Lord Jesus. When my love and desire had
reached a high degree, I saw at by bedside a Seraph, who gave me Holy Communion, 250
saying these words: “Behold the Lord of Angels.” When I received the Lord, my spirit was
drowned in the love of God and in amazement. This was repeated for thirteen days,
although I was never sure he would bring me Holy Communion the next day. Yet, I put my
trust completely in the goodness of God, but did not even dare to think that I would receive
Holy Communion in this way on the following day.
The Seraph was surrounded by a great light, the divinity and love of God being reflected in
him. He wore a golden robe and, over it, a transparent surplice and a transparent stole. The
chalice was crystal covered with a transparent veil. As soon as he gave me the Lord, he
disappeared.
1677 Once, when a certain doubt rose within me shortly before Holy Communion, (56) the Seraph
with the Lord Jesus stood before me again. I asked the Lord Jesus, and not receiving an
answer, I said to the seraph, “Could you perhaps hear my confession?” And he answered
me, “No spirit in heaven has that power.” And that moment, the Sacred host rested on my
lips.
1678 On Sunday [April 24, 1938 251 ], the sister who had charge of the sick said to me, “Well, Sister,
the priest will bring you the Lord Jesus today.” I answered, “Good,” and he brought Him.
After some time, I received permission to leave my bed. So I went to Holy Mass and to
spend time with the Lord, regularly.
1679 After the first examination, the doctor [Silberg] found that my condition was grave. “We
suspect, Sister, that you do have the illness about which you spoke to me But Almighty God
can do all things.”
When I entered my room, I steeped myself in prayer of thanksgiving for everything the Lord
had been sending me throughout my whole life, surrendering myself totally to His most holy
will. (57) A deep joy and peace flooded my soul. I felt a peace so great that, if death had
come at that moment, I would not have said to it, “Wait, for I still have some matters to attend
to.” No, I would have welcomed it with joy, because I am ready for the meeting with the Lord,
not only today, but ever since the moment when I placed my complete trust in the Divine
Mercy, resigning myself totally to His most holy will, full of mercy and compassion. I know
what I am of myself…..
