drawn to My love by this image. My mercy acts in souls through this work. I
learned that many souls had experienced God‟s grace.
1380 I learned that Mother Superior would have quite a heavy cross to bear, together with
physical suffering, but that it would not last long. 218
1381 (27) + It occurred to me to take my medicine, not by the spoonful, but just a little at a
time, because it was expensive. Instantly, I heard a voice, My daughter, I do not like
such conduct. Accept with gratitude everything I give you through the superiors,
and in this way you will please Me more.
1382 + When Sister Dominic 219 died at about one o‟clock in the night, she came to me and
gave me to know that she was dead. I prayed fervently for her. In the morning, the
sisters told me that she was no longer alive, and I replied that I knew, because she had
visited me. The sister infirmarian [Sister Chrysostom] asked me to help dress her. And
then when I was alone with her, the Lord gave me to know that she was still suffering in
purgatory. I redoubled my prayers for her. However, despite the zeal with which I
always pray for our deceased sisters, I got mixed up as regards the days, and instead of
offering three days of prayer, as the rule directs us to do, by mistake I offered only two
days. On the fourth day, she gave me to know that I still owed her prayers, and that she
was in need of them. I immediately (28) formed the intention of offering the whole day
for her, and not just that day but much more, as love of neighbor dictated to me.
1383 Because Sister Dominic, after her death, gave the appearance of looking so well, some
sisters said that perhaps she was only in a coma, and one of the sisters suggested to
me that we ought to go and put a mirror to her mouth to see if it would mist, because it
would if she were alive. I said all right, and we did as we said, but the mirror did not
mist, although it seemed to us as if it had. Nevertheless, the Lord gave me to know how
much this had displeased Him, and I was severely admonished never to act against my
inner convictions. I humbled myself profoundly before the Lord and asked His pardon.
1384 I see a certain priest [probably Father Sopocko] whom God loves greatly, but whom
Satan hates terribly because he is leading many souls to a high degree of sanctity and
has (29) regard only for God‟s glory. But I keep asking God that his patience with those
who constantly oppose him might not run out. Where Satan himself can do no harm, he
uses people.
1385 November 19. After Communion today, Jesus told me how much He desires to come to
human hearts. I desire to unite Myself with human souls; My great delight is to
unite Myself with souls Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in
Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to
the soul. But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself
and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not
recognize Love! They treat Me as a dead object. I answered Jesus, “O Treasure of
my heart, the only object of my love and entire delight of my soul, I want to adore You in
my heart as You are adored on the throne of Your eternal glory. My love wants to make
up to You (30) at least in part for the coldness of so great a number of souls. Jesus,
behold my heart which is for You a dwelling place to which no one else has entry. You
alone repose in it as in a beautiful garden.
