Jesus had the same appearance as He had the time we entered the Chapel with
Mother Superior – my former Directress, Mary Joseph. The next day I was already
back in my beloved Vilnius.
407 Oh, how happy I felt to be back in our convent! I felt as though I was entering the
convent for the second time. I took unending delight in the silence and peace in
which the soul can so easily immerse itself in God, helped by everyone and
disturbed by no one.
(170) The Great Lent
408 When I become immersed in the Lord‟s Passion, I often see the Lord Jesus, during
adoration, in this manner: after the scourging, the torturers took the Lord and
stripped Him of His own garment, which had already adhered to the wounds; as
they took it off, His wounds reopened; then they threw a dirty and tattered scarlet
cloak over the fresh wounds of the Lord. The cloak, in some places, barely
reached His knees. They made Him sit on a piece of beam. And then they wove a
crown of thorns, which they put on His sacred head. They put a reed in His hand
and made fun of Him, bowing to Him as to a king. Some spat in His face, while
others took the reed and struck Him on the head with it. Others caused him pain
by slapping Him; still others covered His face and struck Him with their fists. Jesus
bore all this with meekness. Who can comprehend Him – comprehend His
suffering? Jesus‟ eyes were downcast. I sensed what was happening in the most
sweet Heart of Jesus at that time. Let every soul reflect on what Jesus was
suffering at that moment. They tried to outdo each other in insulting the Lord. I
reflected: Where does such malice in man come from? It is caused by sin. Love
and sin have met.
409 When I was attending Mass in a certain church with another sister, I felt the
greatness and majesty of God; I felt the church was permeated by God. His
majesty enveloped me and, though it terrified me, it filled me with peace and joy. I
knew that nothing could oppose His will. Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in
our churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in
these holy places!
410 O eternal and incomprehensible Love, I beg You for one grace: enlighten my mind
with light from on high; help me to know and appreciate all things according to their
value. I feel the greatest joy in my soul when I come to know the truth.
411 (171) March 21, 1935. Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His
presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with
Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do
what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being
loved by God. At those times, when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so
happy that I do not know how to express it. Such moments are short, for the soul
could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable. Though
these moments are very short, their power, however, which is transmitted to the
soul, remains with it for a very long time. Without the least effort, I experience the
profound recollection which then envelops me – and it does not diminish even if I
talk with people, nor does it interfere with the performance of my duties. I feel the
