gave you this priest as spiritual director, I endowed him with new light so that he<br />

might easily know and understand your <strong>soul</strong>…..<br />

1562 O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, <strong>my</strong> only <strong>mercy</strong>, allow me to see contentment <strong>in</strong> Your face as a sign of<br />

reconciliation with me, because <strong>my</strong> heart cannot bear Your seriousness; if this<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ues a moment longer <strong>my</strong> heart will burst with grief. You see that I am even now<br />

crushed to dust.<br />

1563 And at that very moment I saw <strong>my</strong>self <strong>in</strong> some k<strong>in</strong>d of a palace; and Jesus gave me His<br />

hand, sat me at His side, and said with k<strong>in</strong>dness, My bride, you always please Me by<br />

your humility. The greatest misery does not stop Me from (139) unit<strong>in</strong>g Myself to<br />

a <strong>soul</strong>, but where there is pride, I am not there.<br />

When I came to <strong>my</strong>self, I reflected on what had happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> heart, thank<strong>in</strong>g God for<br />

His love and for the <strong>mercy</strong> that He had shown me.<br />

1564 Jesus, hide me; just as You have hidden Yourself under the form of the white Host, so<br />

hide me from human eyes, and particularly hide the gifts which You so k<strong>in</strong>dly grant me.<br />

May I not betray outwardly what You are effect<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>. I am a white host before<br />

you, O Div<strong>in</strong>e priest. Consecrate me Yourself, and may <strong>my</strong> transubstantiation be<br />

known only to You. I stand before You each day as a sacrificial host and implore Your<br />

<strong>mercy</strong> upon the world. In silence, and unseen. I will empty <strong>my</strong>self before You; <strong>my</strong> pure<br />

and undivided love will burn, <strong>in</strong> profound silence, as a holocaust. And may the<br />

fragrance of <strong>my</strong> love be wafted to the foot of Your throne. You are the Lord of lords, but<br />

You delight <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>nocent and humble <strong>soul</strong>s.<br />

1565 (140) When I entered the chapel for a moment, the Lord said to me, My daughter,<br />

help Me to save a certa<strong>in</strong> dy<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>in</strong>ner. Say the chaplet that I have taught you for<br />

him. When I began to say the chaplet, I saw the man dy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the midst of terrible<br />

torment and struggle. His Guardian Angel was defend<strong>in</strong>g him, but he was, as it were,<br />

powerless aga<strong>in</strong>st the enormity of the <strong>soul</strong>‟s misery. A multitude of devils was wait<strong>in</strong>g<br />

for the <strong>soul</strong>. But while I was say<strong>in</strong>g the chaplet, I saw Jesus just as He is depicted <strong>in</strong><br />

the image. The rays which issued from Jesus‟ Heart enveloped the sick man, and the<br />

powers of darkness fled <strong>in</strong> panic. The sick man peacefully breathed his last. When I<br />

came to <strong>my</strong>self, I understood how very important the chaplet was for the dy<strong>in</strong>g. It<br />

appeases the anger of God.<br />

1566 When I was apologiz<strong>in</strong>g to the Lord Jesus for a certa<strong>in</strong> action of m<strong>in</strong>e which, a little<br />

later, turned out to be imperfect, Jesus put me at ease with these words: My daughter,<br />

I reward you for the purity of your <strong>in</strong>tention which you had (141) at the time when<br />

you acted. My Heart rejoiced that you had My love under consideration at the<br />

time you acted, and that <strong>in</strong> so dist<strong>in</strong>ct a way; and even now you still derive benefit<br />

from this; that is, from the humiliation. Yes, My child, I want you to always have<br />

such great purity of <strong>in</strong>tention <strong>in</strong> the very least th<strong>in</strong>gs you undertake.<br />

1567 As I took the pen <strong>in</strong> hand, I addressed a short prayer to the Holy Spirit and said, “Jesus,<br />

bless this pen so that everyth<strong>in</strong>g You order me to write may be for the glory of God.”<br />

Then I heard a voice: Yes, I bless [it], because this writ<strong>in</strong>g bears the seal of<br />

obedience to your superior and confessor, and by that very fact I am already<br />

given glory, and many <strong>soul</strong>s will be draw<strong>in</strong>g profit from it. My daughter, I demand<br />
