divine-mercy-in-my-soul

Third request: Jesus, I plead with You for the souls that are most in need of prayer. I
plead for the dying; be merciful to them. I also beg You, Jesus, to free all souls from
purgatory.
Jesus, I commend to You these particular persons: My confessors, persons
recommended to my prayers, a certain person…., Father Andrasz, Father Czaputa, and
the priest I met in Vilnius [Father Sopocko], who is to be my confessor, a certain soul….
(111) a certain priest, a certain religious 70 to whom You know how much I owe, Jesus,
and all the people who have been recommended to my prayer. Jesus, on this day You
can do everything for those for whom I am pleading. For myself I ask, Lord, transform me
completely into Yourself, maintain in me a holy zeal for Your glory, give me the grace and
spiritual strength to do Your holy will in all things.
Thank You, O my dearest Bridegroom, for the dignity You have conferred on me, and in
particular for the royal coat-of-arms which will adorn me from this day on and which even
the Angels do not possess; namely, the cross, the sword, and the crown of thorns. But
above all, O my Jesus, I thank You for Your Heart – it is all I need.
Mother of God, Most Holy Mary, my Mother, You are my Mother in a special way now
because Your beloved Son is my Bridegroom, and thus we are both Your children. For
your Son‟s sake, You have to love me. O Mary, my dearest Mother, guide my spiritual life
in such a way that it will please Your Son.
+Holy and Omnipotent God, at this moment of immense grace by which You are uniting
me with Yourself forever, I, mere nothingness, with the utmost gratitude, cast myself at
Your feet like a tiny, unknown flower and, each day, the fragrance of that flower of love
will ascend to Your throne.
In times of struggle and suffering, of darkness and storm, of yearning and sorrow, in times
of difficult trials, in times when nobody will understand me, when I will even be
condemned and scorned by everyone, I will remember the day of my perpetual vows, the
day of God‟s incomprehensible grace.

Special Resolutions of the Retreat, May 1, 1933
241 Love of neighbor. First: Helpfulness towards the sisters. Second: Do not speak about
those who are absent, and defend the good name of my neighbor. Third: Rejoice in the
success of others.
242 +O God, how much I desire to be a small child. 71 You are my Father, and You know how
little and weak I am. So I beg You, keep me close by Your side all my life and especially
at the hour of my death. Jesus, I know that Your goodness surpasses the goodness of a
most tender mother.
243 I will thank the Lord Jesus for every humiliation and will pray especially for the person
who has given me the chance to be humiliated. I will immolate myself for the benefit of
souls. I will not count the cost of any sacrifice, I will cast myself beneath the feet of the
sisters, like a carpet on which they can not only tread, but also wipe their feet. My place
