will, it can spurn Me or love Me. You, who are the dispenser of My mercy, tell
all the world about My goodness, and thus you will comfort My Heart.
581 I will tell you most when you converse with Me in the depths of your heart.
Here, no one can disturb My actions. Here, I rest as in a garden enclosed.
582 The interior of my soul is like a large and magnificent world in which God and I live.
Except for God, no one is allowed there. At the beginning of this life with God, (49)
I was dazzled and overcome with awe. His radiance blinded me, and I thought He
was not in my heart; and yet those were the moments when God was working in
my soul. Love was becoming purer and stronger, and the Lord brought my will into
the closest union with His own holy will. No one will understand what I experience
in that splendid palace of my soul where I abide constantly with my Beloved. No
exterior thing hinders my union with God. Even if I used the most forceful words,
they would not express even a shadow of how my soul revels in happiness and
inexplicable love, as great and pure as the spring from which it flows; that is, God
Himself. My spirit is so pervaded with God that I feel it physically, and the body
partakes of these joys. Although it happens that God‟s touch varies in the same
soul, it comes, however, from the same source.
583 (50) On one occasion, I saw Jesus thirsting and fainting, and He said to me, I
thirst. When I gave Him water, He took it, but did not drink and immediately
disappeared. He was clothed as He was during His Passion.
584 When you reflect upon what I tell you in the depths of your heart, you profit
more than if you had read many books. Oh, if souls would only want to
listen to My voice when I am speaking in the depths of their hearts, they
would reach the peak of holiness in a short time.
585 January 8, 1936. When I went to see the Archbishop [Jalbrzykowski], I told him
that Jesus was asking that I pray for God‟s mercy upon the world and that there be
a religious congregation which would entreat the mercy of God for the world. I
asked his permission for all the Lord Jesus was demanding of me. The Arch (51)
bishop answered me in these words: “As for prayer, I give my permission and
even encourage you, Sister, to pray as much as possible for the world and to beg
God‟s mercy, as mercy is what we all need; and I presume that your confessor
certainly does not forbid you to pray for this intention. But as regards this
congregation, wait a while, Sister, so that all things may arrange themselves more
favorably. This thing is good in itself, but there is no need to hurry. If it is God‟s
will, it will be done, whether it be a little sooner or a little later. Why shouldn‟t it be?
There are so many different kinds of congregations; this one too will come to be if
God so wills. Be completely at peace. The Lord Jesus can do all things. Strive for
a close union with God and do not lose heart.” These words filled me with great
joy.
586 When I left the Archbishop‟s house, I heard the following words in my soul: To
confirm your spirit, (52) I speak through My representatives in accordance
with what I demand of you, but know that this will not always be so. They
will oppose you in many things, and through this My grace will be manifest
in you, and it will be evident that this matter is My doing. But as for you, fear
