1386 O my Jesus, farewell; I must go already to take up my tasks. But I will prove my love for
You with sacrifice, neither neglecting nor letting any chance for practicing it slip by.”
When I left the chapel, Mother Superior [Irene] said to me, “You will not go to the
catechetical lecture, Sister, but will remain on duty.” Very well, Jesus; I thus had,
throughout the day, very many opportunities for sacrifice. I omitted none, owing to the
strength of spirit I drew from Holy Communion.
1387 There are times in life when a soul is in such a state that it does not seem to understand
human speech. Everything tires it, and nothing but ardent prayer will put it as ease. In
fervent prayer the soul finds relief and, even if it wanted explanation from creatures,
these would only make it more restless.
1388 (31) + During one time of prayer, I learned how pleasing to God was the soul of Father
Andrasz. He is a true child of God. It is rare that divine sonship shines forth so clearly
in a soul, and this because he has a special devotion to the Mother of God.
1389 O my Jesus, although I have such very strong impulsions, I am to act on them slowly,
and this only in order not to spoil Your work with my haste. O my Jesus, You give me to
know Your mysteries, and You want me to transmit them to other souls. Soon now it
will be possible for me to act. At the moment of apparent absolute destruction, my
mission, now no longer hindered by anything, will begin. Such is the will of God in this,
and it will not change; although many persons oppose it, nothing will change God‟s will.
1390 I see Father Sopocko, how his mind is busily occupied and working in God‟s cause in
order to present the wishes of god to the officials of the Church. As a result of his
efforts, a new (32) light will shine in the Church of God for the consolation of souls.
Although for the present his soul is filled with bitterness, as though that were to be the
reward for his efforts in the cause of the Lord, this will not however be the case. I see
his joy, which nothing will diminish. God will grant him some of this joy already here on
earth. I have never before come upon such great faithfulness to God as distinguishes
this soul.
1391 During supper in the refectory today, I felt God‟s gaze in the depths of my heart. Such a
vivid presence pervaded my soul that, for a while, I had no idea where I was. The
sweet presence of God kept filling my soul and, at times, I could not understand what
the sisters were saying to me.
1392 All the good that is in me is due to Holy Communion. I owe everything to it. I feel that
this holy fire has transformed me completely. Oh, how happy I am to be a dwelling
place for You, O Lord! My heart is a temple in which You dwell continually…..

1393 Jesus, delight of my soul, Bread of Angels,
My whole being is plunged in You,
And I live Your divine life as do the elect in heaven,
And the reality of this life will not cease, though I be laid in the grave.
