248. Sisters of the Congregation of Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, who
worked at the hospital at Pradnik. The Congregation had been founded in Cracow in 1894
by Bishop Leiczar.
249. Sister David Cedro; Sister Alana – Caroline Wilusz, born July 20, 1910; Sister
Medarda – Caroline Podrazik, born June 16, 1910, died 1966.
250 Similar incidents can be found in the lives of saints; for example, St. Stanislaus
Kostka and St. Bonaventure.
251 Low Sunday. The Sunday mentioned by Sister Faustina was the first Sunday
after Easter; that is, the day that was to be the Feast of The Divine Mercy.
252. Probably a reference to the flu epidemic which had begun in February and
continued for several months. As many as 22 sisters were down on some days.
253. It is difficult to establish the date. Sister Faustina no longer dates anything but
merely writes, “today.” At any rate, this was after Pentecost; that is, after June 5.
254. It can be supposed that sister Faustina had the vision of the Heart of Jesus on
the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi; i.e., on June 24, 1938.
255. Many souls have attained heroic sanctity, and so were saved, never having
celebrated the Feast of Divine Mercy. Then, too, according to His revelations to Sr. Faustina,
Jesus offers to sinners another extraordinary means as a “last hope of salvation,” namely the
Divine Mercy Chaplet (cf. Diary, 687). The statement made by Our Lord here (965)
regarding the Feast of Mercy, therefore, must be seen within the context of the remainder of
this passage: “If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity,” as well as in
the light of the statements declared on later occasions: “I give [souls] the last hope of
salvation, that is, recourse to My Mercy” (998); and “For them [lukewarm, indifferent souls]
the last hope of salvation is to flee to My mercy” (1228). We see that the immediate and
solely adequate response to God‟s mercy on the part of human beings is trust. The attitude
of trust is the only means of coming to mercy (cf. 1578) and so, of finding refuge in it. Jesus
