said to me, “Think no more about this work. God is not as merciful as you say He is.
Do not pray for sinners, because they will be damned all the same, and by this work of
mercy you expose your own self to damnation. Talk no more about this mercy of God
with your confessor and especially not with Father Sopocko and Father Andrasz.” At
this point, the voice took the appearance of my Guardian Angel, and at that moment I
replied,
“I know who you are; the father of lies [cf. Jn. 8:44].” I made the sign of the cross, and
the angel vanished with great racket and fury.
1406 Today, the Lord gave me to know interiorly that He would never abandon me. He gave
me to know His majesty and His holiness as well as His love and mercy towards me;
and He gave me a deeper knowledge of my own wretchedness. However, this great
misery of mine does not deprive me of trust. On the contrary, the better I have come to
know my own misery, the stronger has become my trust (40) in God‟s mercy. I have
come to understand how all this depends on the Lord. I know that no one will touch a
single hair of my head without His willing it.
1407 When I was receiving Holy Communion today, I noticed in the cup a Living Host, which
the priest gave to me. When I returned to my place I asked the Lord, “Why was one
host alive, since you are equally alive under each of the species? The Lord answered
me, That is so. I am the same under each of the species, but not every soul
receives Me with the same living faith as you do, My daughter, and therefore I
cannot act in their souls as I do in yours.
1408 I was present at Holy Mass celebrated by Father Sopocko. During the Mass, I saw the
Infant Jesus who, touching the priest‟s forehead with His finger, said to me, His
thought is closely united to Mine, so be at peace about what concerns My work.
(41) I will not let him make a mistake, and you should do nothing without his
permission. This filled my soul with great peace as regards everything that has to do
with this work.
1409 + Today the Lord Jesus is giving me an awareness of Himself and of His most tender
love and care for me. He is bringing me to understand deeply how everything depends
on His will, and how He allows certain difficulties precisely for our merit, so that our
fidelity might be clearly manifest. And through this, I have been given strength for
suffering and self-denial.
1410 Today [December 7, 1937] is the eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the
Virgin Mary. During the midday meal, in an instant, God gave me to know the
greatness of my destiny; that is, His closeness, which for all eternity will not be taken
away from me, and He did this in such a vivid and clear fashion that I remained
wrapped up in His living presence for a long time, humbling myself before His
greatness.
