cannot bear; namely, that which I experience when someone exhibits kindness towards
me and then lays snares at my feet at every step (7) I take. What great will power is
necessary to love such a soul for God‟s sake. Many a time one has to be heroic in loving
such a soul as God demands. If contact with that person were infrequent, it would be
easier to endure, but when one lives in close contact with the person and experiences this
at each step, this demands a very great effort.
1242 My Jesus, penetrate me through and through so that I might be able to reflect You in my
whole life. Divinize me so that my deeds may have supernatural value. Grant that I may
have love, compassion and mercy for every soul without exception. O my Jesus, each of
Your saints reflects one of Your virtues; I desire to reflect Your compassionate heart, full
of mercy; I want to glorify it. Let Your mercy, O Jesus, be (8) impressed upon my heart
and soul like a seal, and this will be my badge in this and the future life. Glorifying Your
mercy is the exclusive task of my life.

1243 “These times of dryness and stark awareness of one‟s wretchedness, which God has
permitted, allow the soul to know how little it can do by itself. They will teach you how
much you should appreciate God‟s graces. Secondly, faithfulness in all exercises and
duties, faithfulness in everything, just as in times of joy. Thirdly, as regards the matters in
question, be absolutely obedient to the Archbishop [Jalbrzykowski] although, from time to
time, the matter can be brought to his attention, but peacefully. (9) Sometimes, a little
bitter truth is necessary.”
At the end of the conversation, I asked the priest to allow me to commune with Jesus as I
had done formerly. He answered, “I cannot give orders to the Lord Jesus, but if He
Himself draws you to Himself you may follow the attraction. However, always remember
to show Him great reverence, for the Lord is great indeed. If you are truly seeking God‟s
will in all this and desire to fulfill it, you can be at peace; the Lord will not allow any sort of
error. As to the mortifications and sufferings, you will give me an account next time of
how you can carry them out. Place yourself in the hands of the Most Holy Mother.”
1244 August 15, 1937. During meditation, God‟s presence pervaded me keenly, and I was
aware of the Virgin Mary‟s joy at the moment of Her Assumption Towards the end of the
ceremony (10) carried out in honor of the Mother of God, I saw the Virgin Mary, and She
said to me, Oh, how very pleased I am with the homage of your love! And at that moment
She covered all the sisters of our Congregation with Her mantle. With Her right hand,
She clasped Mother General Michael to herself, and with Her left hand She did so to me,
while all the sisters were at Her feet, covered with Her mantle. Then the Mother of God
said, Everyone who perseveres zealously till death in My Congregation will be spared the
fire of purgatory, and I desire that each one distinguish herself by the following virtues:
humility and meekness; chastity and love of God and neighbor; compassion and mercy.
After these words, the whole Congregation disappeared from my sight, and I remained
alone with the Most Holy Mother who instructed me about the will of God and how to (11)
apply it to my life, submitting completely to His most holy decrees. It is impossible for one
to please God without obeying His holy will. My daughter, I strongly recommend that you
faithfully fulfill all God’s wishes, for that is most pleasing in His holy eyes. I very much
desire that you distinguish yourself in this faithfulness in accomplishing god’s will. Put the
