lest you should fall prey to some illusion. On the other hand, I would not want to h<strong>in</strong>der or<br />

oppose the will of God, for I too want to do the will of God.” And so, we agreed that I will<br />

still rema<strong>in</strong> just as I am, until such time as the Lord will let Mother General know that He<br />

demands that I leave this Congregation. And so the matter was put off for a while.<br />

751 And so You see, Jesus, that everyth<strong>in</strong>g is now up to You. I am perfectly at peace, despite<br />

these great urg<strong>in</strong>gs. For <strong>my</strong> part, I have done everyth<strong>in</strong>g, and it is now Your turn, <strong>my</strong><br />

Jesus, and <strong>in</strong> this way (169) Your cause will be made apparent. I am totally <strong>in</strong> accord<br />

with Your will; do with me as You please, O Lord, but only grant me the grace of lov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

You more and more ardently. This is what is most precious to me. I desire noth<strong>in</strong>g but<br />

You, O Love Eternal! It matters not along what paths You will lead me, paths of pa<strong>in</strong> or<br />

paths of joy. I want to love You at every moment of <strong>my</strong> life. If You tell me to leave, O<br />

Jesus, <strong>in</strong> order to carry out Your will, I will leave. If you tell me to stay, I will stay. It<br />

matters not what I will suffer, <strong>in</strong> the one <strong>in</strong>stance or the other. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, if I leave, I<br />

know what I shall have to suffer and endure. I agreed to this with full awareness, and I<br />

have already accepted it by an act of the will. It does not matter what the chalice holds<br />

for me. It is enough for me to know that it has been given to me by the lov<strong>in</strong>g hand of<br />

God. If you tell me to turn back and stay, I will stay <strong>in</strong> spite of all the <strong>in</strong>terior urg<strong>in</strong>gs. If<br />

You still keep them (170) <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> and leave me <strong>in</strong> this <strong>in</strong>ner agony even to the end of<br />

<strong>my</strong> life, I accept this <strong>in</strong> the full consciousness of <strong>my</strong> will and <strong>in</strong> lov<strong>in</strong>g submission to You,<br />

O <strong>my</strong> God. If I stay, I shall hide <strong>my</strong>self <strong>in</strong> Your <strong>mercy</strong>, <strong>my</strong> God, so deeply that no human<br />

eye will see me. Throughout <strong>my</strong> life, I want to be a thurible filled with hidden fire, and<br />

may the smoke ris<strong>in</strong>g up to You, O Liv<strong>in</strong>g Host, be pleas<strong>in</strong>g to You. I feel <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> own<br />

heart that every little sacrifice arouses the fire of <strong>my</strong> love for You, but <strong>in</strong> such a silent and<br />

secret way that no one will detect it.<br />

752 When I told Mother General that the Lord wanted the Congregation to say the chaplet <strong>in</strong><br />

order to propitiate God‟s anger, Mother told me that at present she could not <strong>in</strong>troduce<br />

new prayers that had not yet been approved….. “But give me the chaplet, Sister, [she<br />

said;] perhaps it can be said dur<strong>in</strong>g an adoration. We (171) shall see. It would be good if<br />

Father Sopocko could publish a pamphlet with the chaplet; then it would be better and<br />

easier to recite it <strong>in</strong> the Congregation, for it is a bit difficult to do so now.”<br />

753 The <strong>mercy</strong> of the Lord is praised by the holy <strong>soul</strong>s <strong>in</strong> heaven who have themselves<br />

experienced that <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite <strong>mercy</strong>. What these <strong>soul</strong>s do <strong>in</strong> heaven, I already will beg<strong>in</strong> to do<br />

here on earth. I will praise God for His <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite goodness, and I will strive to br<strong>in</strong>g other<br />

<strong>soul</strong>s to know and glorify the <strong>in</strong>expressible and <strong>in</strong>comprehensible <strong>mercy</strong> of God.<br />

754 + The Lord‟s Promise: The <strong>soul</strong>s that say this chaplet will be embraced by My <strong>mercy</strong><br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death.<br />

755 O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, teach me to open the bosom of <strong>mercy</strong> and love to everyone who asks for it.<br />

Jesus, <strong>my</strong> Commander, teach me so that all <strong>my</strong> prayers and deeds may bear the seal of<br />

Your <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

756 (172) November 18, 1936. Today I tried to make all <strong>my</strong> exercises before Benediction,<br />

because I was feel<strong>in</strong>g more ill than usual. So I went to bed directly after Benediction.<br />

But when I entered the bedroom, I suddenly knew <strong>in</strong>teriorly that I should go to the cell of<br />

S.N. 145 because she was <strong>in</strong> need of help. I entered her cell at once, and S.N. said to me,<br />

“Oh, how good it is that God has brought you here, Sister!” And her voice was so fa<strong>in</strong>t<br />
