divine-mercy-in-my-soul

1640 This night is known only to You, O Lord. I have offered it for poor obdurate sinners, to obtain
Your mercy for them. Scourge me here, burn me here, as long as You give me the souls of
sinners, and especially…… O Jesus, with You nothing is lost; take everything and give me
souls…… sinners.
1641 (32) At adoration during the Forty-Hours‟ Devotion, the Lord said to me, My daughter, write
that involuntary offenses of souls do not hinder My love for them or prevent Me from
uniting Myself with them. But voluntary offenses, even the smallest, obstruct My
graces, and I cannot lavish My gifts on such souls.
1642 + Jesus gave me to know of how everything is dependent on His will, thus giving me
profound peace as regards the security of His work.
1643 Listen, My daughter, although all the works that come into being by My will are
exposed to great sufferings, consider whether any of them has been subject to greater
difficulties than that work which is directly Mine – the work of Redemption. You
should not worry too much about adversities. The world is not as powerful as it
seems to be; its strength is strictly limited. (33) Know, My daughter, that if your soul
is filled with the fire of My pure love, then all difficulties dissipate like fog before the
sun‟s rays and dare not touch the soul. All adversaries are afraid to start a quarrel
with such a soul, because they sense that it is stronger than the whole world.
1644 My daughter, do as much for this work of mercy as obedience allows, but present
clearly to your confessor the very least of My demands, and he will decide. You must
not shirk in any way, but carry out everything faithfully; otherwise, I would find no
pleasure in you……
1645 March 25, 1938. Today, I saw the suffering Lord Jesus. He leaned down toward me and
whispered softly, My daughter, help Me to save sinners. Suddenly, a burning desire to
save souls entered my soul. When I recovered my senses, I knew (34) just how I was to help
souls, and I prepared myself for greater sufferings.
1646 + Today [probably Friday, March 25, 1938] my suffering increased; in addition, I felt wounds
in my hands, feet and side. I endured this with patience. I sensed the hostility of the enemy
of souls, but he did not touch me.
1647 April 1, [1938]. Once again, I am feeling worse today. A high fever is beginning to consume
me, and I cannot take any food. I would like to have something refreshing to drink, but there
is not even any water in my pitcher. All this, O Jesus, to obtain mercy for souls.
Just as I was renewing my intention with greater love, one of the novices came in and gave
me a big orange which had been sent by the Directress of Novices [Sister Callista]. I saw the
Lord‟s hand in this. The same thing happened again, several times. (35) During this time,
although my needs were known, I never received anything refreshing to eat, even though I
had asked for it. However, I knew that God was demanding suffering and sacrifices. I am
not writing in detail about these refusals, because these are delicate matters, and it is difficult
to believe. Yet God can demand even such sacrifices.
1648 I was about to ask Mother Superior [Irene] to allow me to have something in my cell with
which to quench my great thirst, but before I managed to ask, Mother herself began to speak.
