1680 Low Sunday. Today, I aga<strong>in</strong> offered <strong>my</strong>self to the Lord as a holocaust for s<strong>in</strong>ners. My<br />

Jesus, if the end of <strong>my</strong> life is already approach<strong>in</strong>g, I beg You most humbly, accept <strong>my</strong> death<br />

<strong>in</strong> union with You as a holocaust which I offer You today, while I still have full possession of<br />

<strong>my</strong> faculties and a fully conscious will, and this for a three fold purpose:<br />

Firstly: that the work of Your <strong>mercy</strong> may spread throughout the whole world and that the<br />

Feast of The Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy may be solemnly promulgated and celebrated.<br />

(58) Secondly: that s<strong>in</strong>ners, especially dy<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>in</strong>ners, may have recourse to Your <strong>mercy</strong> and<br />

experience the unspeakable effects of this <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

Thirdly: that all the work of Your <strong>mercy</strong> may be realized accord<strong>in</strong>g to Your wishes, and for a<br />

certa<strong>in</strong> person who is <strong>in</strong> charge of this work…..<br />

Accept, most merciful Jesus, this, <strong>my</strong> <strong>in</strong>adequate sacrifice, which I offer to You today before<br />

heaven and earth. May Your Most Sacred Heart, so full of <strong>mercy</strong>, complete what is lack<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>my</strong> offer<strong>in</strong>g, and offer it to Your Father for the conversion of s<strong>in</strong>ners. I thirst after <strong>soul</strong>s, O<br />

Christ.<br />

1681 + At that moment, the light of God penetrated <strong>my</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g, and I felt that I was God‟s exclusive<br />

property: and I experienced the greatest spiritual freedom, of which I had had no previous<br />

idea. And at the same time, I saw the glory of The Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy and an <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite multitude of<br />

<strong>soul</strong>s who were prais<strong>in</strong>g His goodness. My <strong>soul</strong> was completely drowned <strong>in</strong> God, and I<br />

heard the words, You are My well-beloved daughter. The vivid presence of God cont<strong>in</strong>ued<br />

throughout the whole day.<br />

1682 (59) + May 1, [1938]. This even<strong>in</strong>g, Jesus said to me, My daughter, do you need<br />

anyth<strong>in</strong>g? I answered, “O <strong>my</strong> Love, when I have You I have everyth<strong>in</strong>g.” And the Lord<br />

answered, If <strong>soul</strong>s would put themselves completely <strong>in</strong> My care, I <strong>my</strong>self would<br />

undertake the task of sanctify<strong>in</strong>g them, and I would lavish even greater graces on<br />

them. There are <strong>soul</strong>s who thwart My efforts, but I have not given up on them; as<br />

often as they turn to Me, I hurry to their aid, shield<strong>in</strong>g them with My Mercy, and I give<br />

them the first place <strong>in</strong> My compassionate Heart.<br />

1683 Write for the benefit of religious <strong>soul</strong>s that it delights Me to come to their hearts <strong>in</strong><br />

Holy Communion. But if there is anyone else <strong>in</strong> such a heart, I cannot bear it and<br />

quickly leave that heart, tak<strong>in</strong>g with Me all the gifts and graces I have prepared for the<br />

<strong>soul</strong>. And the <strong>soul</strong> does not even notice My go<strong>in</strong>g. After some time, <strong>in</strong>ner empt<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

and dissatisfaction will come to her attention. Oh, if only she would turn to Me then,<br />

(60) I would help her to cleanse her heart, and I would fulfill everyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> her <strong>soul</strong>; but<br />

without her knowledge and consent, I cannot be the Master of her heart.<br />

1684 + I often communicate with persons who are dy<strong>in</strong>g and obta<strong>in</strong> the <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>mercy</strong> for them. Oh,<br />

how great is the goodness of God, greater than we can understand. There are moments and<br />

there are <strong>my</strong>steries of the <strong>div<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>mercy</strong> over which the heavens are astounded. Let our<br />

judgment of <strong>soul</strong>s cease, for God‟s <strong>mercy</strong> upon them is extraord<strong>in</strong>ary.<br />

1685 (61) Dur<strong>in</strong>g Holy Hour today, I asked the Lord Jesus if He would deign to teach me about the<br />

spiritual life, Jesus answered me, My daughter, faithfully live up to the words which I<br />

speak to you. Do not value any external th<strong>in</strong>g too highly, even if it were to seem very<br />
