951 + O <strong>in</strong>comprehensible and limitless Mercy Div<strong>in</strong>e, To extol and adore You worthily, who<br />

can?<br />

Supreme attribute of Almighty God,<br />

You are the sweet hope for s<strong>in</strong>ful man.<br />

Into one hymn yourselves unite, stars, earth and sea, and <strong>in</strong> one accord, thankfully and<br />

fervently s<strong>in</strong>g of the <strong>in</strong>comprehensible Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy.<br />

952 (298) My Jesus, You see that Your holy will is everyth<strong>in</strong>g to me. It makes no difference to<br />

me what You do with me. You command me to set to work – and I beg<strong>in</strong> calmly, although<br />

I know that I am <strong>in</strong>capable of it; through Your representatives, You order me to wait – so I<br />

wait patiently; You fill <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> with enthusiasm – but You do not make it possible for me<br />

to act; You attract me to Yourself <strong>in</strong> heaven – and You leave me <strong>in</strong> this world; You pour<br />

<strong>in</strong>to <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> a great yearn<strong>in</strong>g for Yourself – and You hide Yourself from me. I am dy<strong>in</strong>g of<br />

the desire to be united with You forever, and You do not let death come near me. O will<br />

of God, you are the nourishment and delight of <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>. When I submit to the holy will of<br />

<strong>my</strong> God, a deep peace floods <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, You do not give a reward for the<br />

successful performance of a work, but for the good will and the labor undertaken.<br />

Therefore, I am completely at peace, even if all <strong>my</strong> undertak<strong>in</strong>gs and efforts should be<br />

thwarted or should come to naught. If I do (299) all that is <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> power, the rest is not <strong>my</strong><br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess. And therefore the greatest storms do not disturb the depths of <strong>my</strong> peace; the<br />

will of God dwells <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> conscience.<br />

953 + February 15, 1937. Today <strong>my</strong> suffer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creased somewhat: I not only feel greater<br />

pa<strong>in</strong> all through <strong>my</strong> lungs, but also some strange pa<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>es, I am suffer<strong>in</strong>g as<br />

much as <strong>my</strong> weak nature can bear, all for immortal <strong>soul</strong>s, to plead the <strong>mercy</strong> of God for<br />

poor s<strong>in</strong>ners and to beg for strength for priests. Oh, how much reverence I have for<br />

priests; and I am ask<strong>in</strong>g Jesus, the High Priest, to grant them many graces.<br />

954 Today after Holy Communion, the Lord told me, My daughter, My delight is to unite<br />

<strong>my</strong>self with you. It is when you submit yourself to My will that you give Me the<br />

greatest glory and draw upon yourself a sea of bless<strong>in</strong>gs. I would not take such<br />

special delight <strong>in</strong> you if you were not liv<strong>in</strong>g by <strong>my</strong> will. O <strong>my</strong> sweet Guest, I am<br />

prepared for all sacrifices for Your sake, but You know (300) that I am weakness itself.<br />

Nevertheless, with You I can do all th<strong>in</strong>gs. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, I beseech You, be with me at<br />

each <strong>in</strong>stant.<br />

955 February 15, 1937. Today, I heard these words <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>: Host pleas<strong>in</strong>g to My<br />

Father, know, My daughter, that the entire Holy Tr<strong>in</strong>ity f<strong>in</strong>ds Its special delight <strong>in</strong><br />

you, because you live exclusively by the will of God. No sacrifice can compare<br />

with this.<br />

956 + After these words, the knowledge of God‟s will came to me; that is to say, I now see<br />

everyth<strong>in</strong>g from a higher po<strong>in</strong>t of view and accept all events and th<strong>in</strong>gs, pleasant and<br />

unpleasant, with love, as tokens of the heavenly Father‟s special affection.<br />

957 The pure offer<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>my</strong> will will burn on the altar of love. That <strong>my</strong> sacrifice may be<br />

perfect, I untied <strong>my</strong>self closely with the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. When great<br />

suffer<strong>in</strong>gs will cause <strong>my</strong> nature to tremble, and <strong>my</strong> physical and spiritual strength will<br />

dim<strong>in</strong>ish, then will I hide <strong>my</strong>self deep <strong>in</strong> the open wound of the Heart (301) of Jesus, silent<br />
