1190 + Jesus. – From all My wounds, like from streams, <strong>mercy</strong> flows for <strong>soul</strong>s, but the<br />

wound <strong>in</strong> My Heart is the founta<strong>in</strong> of unfathomable <strong>mercy</strong>. From this founta<strong>in</strong><br />

spr<strong>in</strong>g all graces for <strong>soul</strong>s. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to<br />

pour them out upon <strong>soul</strong>s. Speak to the whole world about My <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1191 As long as we live, the love of God grows <strong>in</strong> us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the<br />

love of God. I have learned and experienced that <strong>soul</strong>s liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> love are dist<strong>in</strong>guished <strong>in</strong><br />

this: that they are greatly enlightened concern<strong>in</strong>g the th<strong>in</strong>gs of God, both <strong>in</strong> their own<br />

<strong>soul</strong>s and <strong>in</strong> the <strong>soul</strong>s of others. And simple <strong>soul</strong>s, without an education, are outstand<strong>in</strong>g<br />

for their knowledge.<br />

1192 At the fourteenth station. I get the strange feel<strong>in</strong>g that Jesus is go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the ground.<br />

When <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> is <strong>in</strong> anguish, I th<strong>in</strong>k only <strong>in</strong> this way: Jesus is good and full of <strong>mercy</strong>, and<br />

even if the ground were to give way under <strong>my</strong> feet, I would not cease to trust <strong>in</strong> Him.<br />

1193 Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My heart, it is with pleasure<br />

that I look <strong>in</strong>to your <strong>soul</strong>. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also<br />

withhold My punishments only because of you. You restra<strong>in</strong> Me, and I cannot<br />

v<strong>in</strong>dicate the claims of My justice. You b<strong>in</strong>d My hands with your love.<br />

1194 (53) July 13, 1937. Today, Jesus has given me light as to how I should behave toward<br />

one of the sisters, who had asked me about many spiritual matters concern<strong>in</strong>g which she<br />

had doubts. But basically this was not the question; she only wanted to f<strong>in</strong>d out <strong>my</strong><br />

op<strong>in</strong>ion <strong>in</strong> these matters <strong>in</strong> order to have someth<strong>in</strong>g to say about me to the other sisters.<br />

Oh, if at least she had repeated the same words that I had spoken to her without<br />

distortions and additions! Jesus put me on <strong>my</strong> guard <strong>in</strong> respect to her. I resolved to pray<br />

for her, because only prayer can enlighten that <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

1195 O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, noth<strong>in</strong>g can lower <strong>my</strong> ideals, that is, the love which I have for You. Although<br />

the path is very thorny, I do not fear to go ahead. Even if a hailstorm of persecutions<br />

covers me; even if <strong>my</strong> friends forsake me, even if all th<strong>in</strong>gs conspire aga<strong>in</strong>st me, and the<br />

horizon grows dark; even if a rag<strong>in</strong>g storm breaks out, and I feel I am quite alone and<br />

must brave it all; still, fully at peace, I will trust <strong>in</strong> Your <strong>mercy</strong>. O <strong>my</strong> God, and <strong>my</strong> hope<br />

will not be disappo<strong>in</strong>ted.<br />

1196 Today, when a certa<strong>in</strong> sister who was on duty approached me <strong>in</strong> the refectory [the sisters‟<br />

d<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g room, where assigned sisters serve at the time of common meals], I experienced<br />

severe suffer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the places of the Wounds. I was given to know the state of her <strong>soul</strong>. I<br />

prayed much for her.<br />

1197 Sudden calm<strong>in</strong>g of a storm. There was a terrible storm last night. I bowed <strong>my</strong> face low to<br />

the ground and started to say the Litany of the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts. Towards the end of the Litany,<br />

such drows<strong>in</strong>ess came over me that I could <strong>in</strong> no way f<strong>in</strong>ish the prayer. Then I got up and<br />

said to the Lord, “Jesus, (54) calm the storm, for Your child is unable to pray any longer,<br />

and I am heavy with sleep.” After these words, I threw the w<strong>in</strong>dow wide open, not even<br />

secur<strong>in</strong>g it with hooks. Sister N. [probably sister Fabiola Pawluk] then said to me, “Sister,<br />

what are you do<strong>in</strong>g! The w<strong>in</strong>d will surely tear the w<strong>in</strong>dow loose!” I told her to sleep <strong>in</strong><br />

peace, and at once the storm completely subsided. The next day, the sisters talked about<br />
