281 I feel certa<strong>in</strong> that <strong>my</strong> mission will not come to an end upon <strong>my</strong> death, but will beg<strong>in</strong>. O<br />

doubt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>soul</strong>s, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to conv<strong>in</strong>ce you of God‟s<br />

goodness, so that you will no longer cont<strong>in</strong>ue to wound with your distrust the sweetest<br />

Heart of Jesus. God is Love and Mercy.<br />

282 (125) Once the Lord said to me, My Heart was moved by great <strong>mercy</strong> towards you,<br />

My dearest child, when I saw you torn to shreds because of the great pa<strong>in</strong> you<br />

suffered <strong>in</strong> repent<strong>in</strong>g for your s<strong>in</strong>s. I see your love, so pure and true that I give<br />

you first place among the virg<strong>in</strong>s,. You are the honor and glory of My Passion. I<br />

see every abasement of your <strong>soul</strong>, and noth<strong>in</strong>g escapes <strong>my</strong> attention. I lift up the<br />

humble even to My very throne, because I want it so.<br />

God, One <strong>in</strong> the Holy Tr<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

283 I want to love You as no human <strong>soul</strong> has ever loved You before; and although I am<br />

utterly miserable and small, I have, nevertheless, cast the anchor of <strong>my</strong> trust deep down<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the abyss of Your <strong>mercy</strong>, O <strong>my</strong> God and Creator! In spite of <strong>my</strong> great misery I fear<br />

noth<strong>in</strong>g, but hope to s<strong>in</strong>g You a hymn of glory for ever. Let no <strong>soul</strong>, even the most<br />

miserable, fall prey to doubt; for, as long as one is alive, each one can become a great<br />

sa<strong>in</strong>t, so great is the power of God‟s grace. It rema<strong>in</strong>s only for us not to oppose God‟s<br />

action.<br />

284 O Jesus, if only I could become like mist before Your eyes, to cover the earth so that<br />

You would not see its terrible crimes. Jesus, when I look at the world and its<br />

<strong>in</strong>difference towards You, aga<strong>in</strong> and aga<strong>in</strong> it br<strong>in</strong>gs tears to <strong>my</strong> eyes; but when I look at<br />

a cold <strong>soul</strong> of a religious, <strong>my</strong> heart bleeds.<br />

285 1934. Once, when I returned to <strong>my</strong> cell, I was so tired that I had to rest a moment<br />

before I started to undress, and when I was already undressed, one of the sisters asked<br />

me to fetch her some hot water. Although I was tired, I dressed quickly and brought her<br />

the water she (126) wanted, even though it was quite a long walk from the cell to the<br />

kitchen, and the mud was ankle-deep. When I re-entered <strong>my</strong> cell, I saw the ciborium<br />

with the Blessed Sacrament, and I heard this voice, Take this ciborium and br<strong>in</strong>g it to<br />

the tabernacle. I hesitated at first, but when I approached and touched it, I heard these<br />

words, Approach each of the sisters with the same love with which you approach<br />

Me; and whatever you do for them, you do it for Me. A moment later, I saw that I<br />

was alone.<br />

286 +Once, after an adoration for our country, a pa<strong>in</strong> pierced <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, and I began to pray <strong>in</strong><br />

this way: “Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the <strong>in</strong>tercession of Your Sa<strong>in</strong>ts,<br />

and especially the <strong>in</strong>tercession of Your dearest Mother who nurtured You from<br />

childhood, bless <strong>my</strong> native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not on our s<strong>in</strong>s, but on the tears<br />

of little children, on the hunger and cold they suffer. Jesus, for the sake of these<br />

<strong>in</strong>nocent ones, grant me the grace that I am ask<strong>in</strong>g of You for <strong>my</strong> country.” At that<br />

moment, I saw the Lord Jesus, His eyes filled with tears, and He said to me, You see,<br />

My daughter, what great compassion I have for them. Know that it is they who<br />

uphold the world.<br />

287 +My Jesus, when I look at this life of <strong>soul</strong>s, I see that many of them serve You with<br />
