1510 One evening, when I was feeling so bad that I wondered how I would get back to my cell, I came across the Sister Assistant [Sister Seraphina], who was asking one of the sisters of the first choir to go to the gate with a certain message. But when she saw me, she said to her, “No, Sister, you need not go, but Sister Faustina will, because it is raining heavily.” In answered, “All right,” and went and carried out the order, but only God knows the whole of it. This is just one example among many. Sometimes it would seem that a sister of the second choir is made of stone, but she also is human and has a heart and feelings.....

1511 At such times, God Himself comes to our rescue, for otherwise the soul would not be
able to bear these crosses of which I haven‟t even begun to write, nor do I intend to do
so now. But when I feel the inspiration to do so, I will write about them.......

1512 (112) Today, during Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus in the midst of His sufferings, as though
dying on the cross. He said to me, My daughter, meditate frequently on the
sufferings which I have undergone for your sake, and then nothing of what you
suffer for Me will seem great to you. You please Me most when you meditate on
My Sorrowful Passion. Join your little sufferings to My Sorrowful Passion, so
that they may have infinite value before My Majesty.

1513 + Jesus said to me today, You often call Me your Master. This is pleasing to My
Heart; but do not forget, My disciple, that you are a disciple of a crucified Master.
Let that one word be enough for you. You know what is contained in the cross.

1514 + I have learned that the greatest power is hidden in patience. I see that patience always
leads to victory, although not immediately; but that victory will become manifest after
many years. Patience is linked to meekness.

1515 (113) + I spent this whole night with Jesus in the dark dungeon. This was a night of
adoration. The sisters were praying in the chapel, and I was uniting myself with them in
spirit, because poor health prevents me from going to the chapel. But all night long I
could not fall asleep, so I spent the night in the dark prison with Jesus. Jesus gave me to
know of the sufferings He experienced there. The world will learn about them on the day
of judgment.
