and omnipotent love be the driving force of all my actions,. Who will ever conceive
and understand the depth of mercy that has gushed forth from Your Heart?
833 I have experienced how much envy there is, even in religious life. I see that there are
few truly great souls, ready to trample on everything that is not God. O soul, you will
find no beauty outside of God. Oh, how fragile is the foundation of those who elevate
themselves at the expenses of others! What a loss!
834 (218) December 19, [1936]. This evening, I felt in my soul that a certain person had
need of my prayer. Immediately, I began to pray. Suddenly, I realize interiorly and am
aware of who the spirit is who is asking this of me; I pray until I feel at peace. There is
great help for the dying in this chaplet. I often pray for an intention that I have learned
of interiorly. I always pray until I experience in my soul that the prayer has had its
effect.
835 Especially now, while I am in this hospital, I experience an inner communion with the
dying who ask me for prayer when their agony begins. God has given me a wondrous
contact with the dying! Since this has been happening more frequently, I have been
able to verify it, even to the exact hour.
Today I was awakened suddenly at eleven o‟clock at night and clearly felt the
presence near me of some spirit who was asking me for prayer. Some force simply
compelled me to pray. My vision is purely spiritual, by means of a sudden light (219)
that God grants me at that moment. I keep on praying until I feel peace in my soul,
and not always for an equally long time; because sometimes it happens that with one
“Hail Mary” I am already at peace, and then I say the De Profundis and pray no longer.
And sometimes it happens that I pray the entire chaplet and only then feel at peace. I
have also discovered that if I feel constrained to pray for a longer time; that is to say, I
experience interior unrest, the soul is undergoing a greater struggle and is going
through a longer final agony.
This is how I have verified the exact time: I have a watch, and I look to see what time
it is. On the following day, when they tell me about that person‟s death, I ask them
about the time, and it exactly corresponds, as does the length of the person‟s last
agony. They say to me, “Such and such a person died today, but she passed away
quickly and peacefully.” It sometimes happens that the dying person is in the second
or third building away, yet for the spirit, space does not (220) exist. It sometimes
happens that I know about a death occurring several hundred kilometers away. This
has happened several times with regard to my family and relatives and also sisters in
religion, and even souls whom I have not known during their lifetime.
O God of fathomless mercy, who allow me to give relief and help to the dying by my
unworthy prayer, be blessed as many thousand times as there are stars in the sky and
drops of water in all the oceans! Let Your mercy resound throughout the orb of the
earth, and let is rise to the foot of Your throne, giving praise to the greatest of Your
attributes; that is, Your incomprehensible mercy. O God, this unfathomable mercy
enthralls anew all the holy souls and all the spirits of heaven. These pure spirits are
immersed in holy amazement as they glorify this inconceivable mercy of God, which in
turn arouses even greater admiration in them, and their praise is carried out in a
perfect manner. O eternal God, how ardently I desire to glorify this greatest of Your
