divine-mercy-in-my-soul

Suddenly, I saw an impenetrable brightness in the form of a crystal dwelling place,
woven together from waves of brilliance unapproachable (175) to both creatures
and spirits. Three doors led to this resplendence. At that moment, Jesus, as He is
represented in the image, entered this resplendence through the second door to
the Unity within. It is a triple United, which is incomprehensible – which is infinity. I
head a voice, This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy, and it is
confirmed in the vast depths of My tender mercies. Every soul believing and
trusting in My mercy will obtain it. I was overjoyed at the immense goodness
and greatness of my God.
April 29, 1935
421 On the eve of the exposition of the image, I went with our Mother Superior to visit
our confessor [Father Sopocko]. When the conversation touched upon the image,
the confessor asked for one of the sisters to help make some wreaths. Mother
Superior replied, “Sister Faustina will help.” I was delighted at this, and when we
returned home, I immediately set about preparing some greens, and with the help
of one of our wards brought them over. Another person, who works at the church,
also helped. Everything was ready by seven o‟clock that evening, and the image
was already hanging in its place. However, some ladies saw me standing around
there, for I was more a bother than a help, and on the next day they asked the
sisters what this beautiful image was and what was its significance. Surely these
sisters would know, [they thought] as one of them had helped adorn it the day
before. The sisters were very surprised as they knew nothing about it; they all
wanted to see it and immediately they began to suspect me. They said, “Sister
Faustina must certainly know all about it.”
When they began asking me, I was silent, since I could not tell the truth. My
silence increased their curiosity, and I was even more on my guard not to tell a lie
and not to tell the truth, since I had no permission [to do so]. Then they started to
show their displeasure and reproached me openly saying, “How is it that (176)
outsiders know about this and we, nothing?” Various judgments were being made
about me. I suffered much for three days, but a special power took over in my
soul. I was happy to suffer for God and for the souls that have been granted His
mercy during these days. Seeing that so many souls have been granted divine
mercy these days, I regard as nothing even the greatest suffering and toil, even if
they were to continue till the end of the world; for they will come to an end, while
these souls have been saved from torments that are without end. It was a great
joy for me to see others returning to the source of happiness, the bosom of The
Divine Mercy.
422 Seeing Father Sopocko‟s sacrifice and efforts for this work, I admired his patience
and humility. This all cost a great deal, not only in terms of toil and various
troubles, but also of money; and Father Sopocko was taking care of all the
expenses. I can see that Divine Providence had prepared him to carry out this
work of mercy before I had asked God for this. Oh, how strange are your ways, O
God! And how happy are the souls that follow the call of divine grace!
