1594 One of the sisters came <strong>in</strong>to <strong>my</strong> cell for a little while. After a short conversation on the<br />

subject of obedience, she said to me, “Oh, now I understand how the sa<strong>in</strong>ts (3) acted. Thank<br />

you, Sister; a great light has entered <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>; I have profited much.”<br />

1595 O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, this is Your work. It is You who have spoken thus to that <strong>soul</strong>, because this<br />

sister came <strong>in</strong> when I was completely immersed <strong>in</strong> God, and it was just at that moment when<br />

this deep recollection left me. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, I know that, <strong>in</strong> order to be useful to <strong>soul</strong>s, one<br />

has to strive for the closest possible union with You, who are Eternal Love. One word from a<br />

<strong>soul</strong> united to God effects more good <strong>in</strong> <strong>soul</strong>s than eloquent discussions and sermons from<br />

an imperfect <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

1596 + I saw Father A. [Andrasz‟s] surprise at <strong>my</strong> actions, but all that is for the glory of God. Oh,<br />

how great is Your grace, O Lord, grace which lifts the <strong>soul</strong> up to greater heights. I am very<br />

grateful to the Lord for hav<strong>in</strong>g given me an enlightened priest. You could have cont<strong>in</strong>ued to<br />

leave me <strong>in</strong> uncerta<strong>in</strong>ties and hesitations, but Your goodness (4) remedied that, O <strong>my</strong> Jesus,<br />

it is impossible for me to count Your favors……<br />

1597 My daughter, your struggle will last until death. Your last breath will mark its end.<br />

You shall conquer by meekness.<br />

1598 February 13, 1938. I saw how unwill<strong>in</strong>gly the Lord Jesus came to certa<strong>in</strong> <strong>soul</strong>s <strong>in</strong> Holy<br />

Communion. And He spoke these words to me: I enter <strong>in</strong>to certa<strong>in</strong> hearts as <strong>in</strong>to a<br />

second Passion.<br />

1599 As I was try<strong>in</strong>g to make <strong>my</strong> Holy Hour, I saw the suffer<strong>in</strong>g Jesus, who spoke these words to<br />

me: My daughter, do not pay so much attention to the vessel of grace as to the grace<br />

itself which I give you, because you are not always pleased with the vessel, and then<br />

the graces, too, become deficient. I want to guard you from that, and I want you never<br />

to pay attention to the vessel <strong>in</strong> which I send you My grace. Let all the attention of<br />

your <strong>soul</strong> (5) be concentrated on respond<strong>in</strong>g to My grace as faithfully as possible.<br />

1600 + O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, if You Yourself do not soothe the long<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, then no one can either<br />

comfort or soothe it. Your every approach arouses new raptures of love <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, but also<br />

a new agony; because, despite all Your approaches to <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, even the most exceptional, I<br />

am still lov<strong>in</strong>g You from a distance, and <strong>my</strong> heart dies <strong>in</strong> an ecstasy of love; because this is<br />

still not the complete and eternal union, although You commune with me so very often<br />

unveiled [as if face to face]; nevertheless, You thereby open <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> and heart an abyss of<br />

love and desire for You, <strong>my</strong> God, and this bottomless abyss, this total desir<strong>in</strong>g of God,<br />

cannot be completely filled on this earth.<br />

1601 The Lord has given me to know how much He desires the perfection of chosen <strong>soul</strong>s.<br />

Chosen <strong>soul</strong>s are, <strong>in</strong> My hand, lights which I cast <strong>in</strong>to the darkness of the world and<br />

with which I illum<strong>in</strong>e it. As stars illum<strong>in</strong>e the night, so chosen <strong>soul</strong>s (6) illum<strong>in</strong>e the<br />

earth. And the more perfect a <strong>soul</strong> is, the stronger and the more far-reach<strong>in</strong>g is the<br />

light shed by it. It can be hidden and unknown, even to those closest to it, and yet its<br />

hol<strong>in</strong>ess is reflected <strong>in</strong> <strong>soul</strong>s even to the most distant extremities of the world.<br />

1602 Today the Lord said to me, Daughter, when you go to confession, to this founta<strong>in</strong> of My<br />

<strong>mercy</strong>, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon<br />
