- I fell down almost on a straight road and fell on my face. I have two longitudinal cut wounds on my right cheek. Why, Lord?  

Was it because of some silly thought that told me I was better than everyone else and ask me to stand out? Now I prefer to remove myself from human eyes...

+ I have made it easier for you to carry out what you committed to after confession.

 You couldn't control the thoughts that led to pride and vanity. Now you've mastered them. You are indeed modest and prefer to stay in the shadows.

 But it's not because of you - I made you do it.

 - But there, in the chapel before You, I also heard other words. Were they real?

+I have marked you on your face with the sign that My Mother has in Her image in Częstochowa.

 You are to imitate her. She is a role model for you. Ask Her to help you.

 If you have made modesty and humility your task, then She should be your example.

- Why did you make me read the book of Ezekiel?

+You are to be My Ezekiel for the people you come into contact with. That's why I gave you a sign to remind you that I look at you and participate in everything. Remember that.

 If I give a vision, I do it to instruct a man, to draw his attention to something; to change something, to see something. I do not give visions for pleasure, for satisfaction or to satisfy curiosity.

 That is why many who are very devoted to Me have no visions. That's why I don't speak to everyone as I speak to you.

 My every word should be analyzed, considered and applied in life. It's a commitment.

 If it does not bear fruit, it will become useless. Then I will be silent.

 I am speaking to you not to please you, to make you feel honored, but to make you holy. Also, that you pass it to others for their sanctification.

+Be faithful to your confessor and spiritual father.

 He deserves it.

 - Why did you give me Fr.  W.R.  as a spiritual father?

+To make him take you away into his footsteps.  He is strong and zealous.

 - What was the worst thing about me so far?

+Distraction.

 - I'm powerless.

+Start your day by asking for help.  End with thanksgiving for it.

 - What else do I need?

+Peace, self-control, calmness.  Obedience to My will and to the people you will be subject to.

 All for Me and all with Me.

 I am with you and participate in everything.  Notice it.  Talk to Me at every opportunity.  I don't like being lonely in your heart.  Why do you deprive Me of yourself, by forgetting Me?

 - It's not easy to be in both realities at the same time...

+It is difficult, but it is possible.  You've found out many times.  In fact, you've been more clearly in both realities for some time now.  But you are still more preoccupied with the external.  It should be otherwise.

 I want to help you.  Strive and ask.

 I am your Bridegroom and I want you with me, here in your interior.  You are connected to Me.  I want you to always remember it and feel it.

 Be My joy and rest.  Give yourself to Me every day, every moment.  Just like now.  I like it when you are listening and only have eyes for Me.

 I want human love and I get so little.

 Make up for others who have forgotten, who do not want to.

 I have given you a tender heart to replace the many who have killed their own hearts.

 I gave it for you just for that.

 Do not limit or inhibit your tenderness towards Me.  Don't care about people: what they think, how they judge you.

 Be natural to Me, spontaneous and emotional as I desire.

 Any setback and limitation for the sake of people destroys our Love.

 - A certain stage has passed.

 The passing of time and everything with it, is beautiful. The meeting with You is approaching. It is the only one towards which everything today separated by time and what fills time, is heading.

 That separation diminished by that stage.

+The time ahead of you is a gift. Thanks to it you can get to know Me, get closer to Me.

 As much as you achieve it in time, you will be enriched when your time is up.

 You will bring Me so much when I call you to Me. It will be your work for all eternity - it will determine your place in it.

 Time is important. How very important. talk about it. Let them not waste it, let them not kill it. Killing time is killing yourself and disregarding Me.

+ If sometimes you cannot afford to talk to Me, to commune with Me in Love - fill your time with service - with concrete actions. Make sure that it is used creatively: either in intimacy with Me, or in bringing My Love to people, or in the hardship of everyday duties.

 Be vigilant that there are no empty spaces, idle thoughts or feelings or actions.

 Make sure that everything you fill your time with is directed towards Me. I am to be the addressee of everything you do.

 - I was unable to overcome the dryness that began to form in Me.

 You left me, Lord, with my misery and my helplessness. What was the worst?

+The flight of thoughts towards trivial things instead of staying faithful to Me.

 If you do not experience My presence, it means that I am very close, but I am waiting for your faithfulness in solitude.

 It is apparent loneliness - as a test of fidelity. I never leave you. I am in your heart and there I am waiting for your voice and your love.

 I want you sometimes to be guided only by your will, without any pleasure. In such situations, pure love can manifest itself - not interested in any gain.

 I want to experience such love from you - based on your will and on your trust - against feelings that will tell you nothing.

 - Be blessed, my Lord. Thank you for the morning and for the opportunity to talk to you. Also for your Holy Spirit praying in me while I was sleeping.

+I want to prepare you for meeting Me. Be open and completely surrendered to the Spirit. It will bring you to Me. It will renew your soul, blow My Love and My peace.

 Be in praise and thanksgiving continually.

 I am very close and I want to be even closer.

+ I want you to be faithful to Me also in small matters. Don't look for ease. You should choose what is more difficult out of love for Me. I don't want to create situations that force you to do this. I leave you free choice.

 Give Me effort, fatigue, suffering. These are the most precious gifts. These are proofs of love. Be generous.
