have spread so much beauty over the earth, and it tells me about Your beauty, even though
these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, Incomprehensible Beauty. And
although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, (65) enlightened by
faith, reached You, and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good; and my heart is
completely immersed in prayer of adoration.
My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy
abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You,
O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here
Your light illumines my mind, enabling it to know you more and more deeply. Here streams
of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and
Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own Self to me and unite Yourself
intimately with Your miserable creature. Here, without searching for words, our hearts
understand each other. Here, no once is able to interrupt our conversation. What I talk to
You about, Jesus, is our secret, which creatures (66) shall not know and Angels dare not ask
about. These are secret acts of forgiveness, known only to Jesus and me; this is the mystery
of His mercy, which embraces each soul separately,. For this incomprehensible goodness of
Yours, I adore You, O Lord and Creator, with all my heart and all my soul. And, although my
worship is so little and poor, I am at peace because I know that You know it is sincere,
however inadequate….
1693 As I was writing the above words, I saw the Lord Jesus leaning over me, and He asked, My
daughter, what are you writing? I answered, “I am writing about You, Jesus, about Your
being hidden in the Blessed Sacrament, about Your inconceivable love and mercy for
people.” And Jesus said, Secretary of My most profound mystery, know that yours is an
exclusive intimacy with Me. Your task is to write down everything that I make known
to you about My mercy, for the benefit of those who by (67) reading these things will
be comforted in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me. I therefore want
you to devote all your free moments to writing. “But, O Lord, shall I always have a
moment, at least a brief one, in which to write?” And Jesus answered. It is not for you to
think about that. Only do as much as you can, and I will always arrange things so that
you will easily be able to do what I ask of you……
1694 Today, I was visited by a certain lay person [probably Stanislava Kwietniewska] who has
caused me a lot of sorrow and who has abused my goodness, telling many lies. At the first
moment I saw her, the blood froze in my veins, because there stood before my eyes all that I
had to suffer because of her, although with one word I could have freed myself of them all.
And the thought came to me to tell her the truth, firmly and immediately. But at the same
moment, the mercy (68) of God came before my eyes, and I resolved to act toward her as
Jesus would have acted in my place. I started to talk to her gently, and when she expressed
the wish to talk to me alone, I then, in a very delicate manner, made known to her clearly the
sad condition of her soul. I saw that she was deeply moved, though she was trying to hide
this from me. At that point, a third person came in, and so our heart-to-heart talk came to an
end. She asked me for a glass of water and for two other things which I did willingly.
However, had it not been for the grace of God, I would not have been able to act in such a
way toward her. When they left, I thanked God for the grace which had supported me during
that time.
