the superiors at this present time. I begged my confessor to release me from this
duty.
354 As I was talking to a certain person 84 who was to paint the image but, for certain
reasons, was not painting it, I heard this voice in my soul: I want her to be more
obedient. I understood that our efforts, no matter how great, are not pleasing to god if
they do not bear the seal of obedience; I am speaking about a religious soul. O God,
how easy it is to know Your will in the convent! We religious have God‟s will set
clearly before our eyes from morning till night, and in moments of uncertainty we have
our superiors through whom God speaks.
355 (148) 1934-1935. New Year‟s Eve. I was given permission not to go to sleep, but
rather pray in the chapel. One of the sisters had asked me to offer an hour of
adoration for her. I said yes, and prayed for her for an hour. During the hour, God
gave me to understand how very pleasing this soul was to Him.
I offered the second hour of adoration for the conversion of sinners, and I tried
especially to offer expiation to God for the insults that were being committed against
Him at this present moment. How greatly God is being offended!
I offered the third hour for my spiritual director. I fervently prayed for a light for him in
a particular matter.
Finally, the clock struck twelve, the last hour of the year. I finished it in the name of
the Holy Trinity, and I also started the first hour of the New Year in the Name of the
Holy Trinity. I asked each of the Three Persons to bless me and, with great
confidence, looked toward the New Year which certainly would not be sparing of
suffering.

especially for poor sinners.

of infinite mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners.

abundance to us and especially to poor sinners.
O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the mercy of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit toward us, and especially toward poor sinners.

compensate for all our debts, and especially those of poor sinners.
O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the fountain of living water which springs from
infinite mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners.
O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the fire of purest love which blazes forth from
the bosom of the Eternal Father, as from an abyss of infinite mercy for us, and
especially for poor sinners.
