(16) On one occasion I saw a servant of God in the immediate danger of committing a
mortal sin. I started to beg God to deign to send down upon me all the torments of hell
and all the sufferings He wished if only this priest would be set free and snatched from the
occasion of committing a sin. Jesus heard my prayer and, that very instant, I felt a crown
of thorns on my head. The thorns penetrated my head with great force right into my
brain. This lasted for three hours; the servant of God was set free from this sin, and his
soul was strengthened by a special grace of God.

+ Once, on Christmas Day [1928], I felt the omnipotence and the presence of God
surrounding me. And once more I fled from this interior meeting with the Lord. I asked
Mother Superior for permission to go to Jozefinek to visit the sisters there. The Superior
gave us permission, and we started to get ready right after lunch. The other sisters were
already waiting for me at the door of the convent while I ran to my cell to get my cloak.
On my way back, as I was passing close to the little chapel, I saw Jesus standing in the
doorway. He said to me, Go ahead, but I am taking your heart. Suddenly I felt that I
had no heart in my chest. But the sisters were scolding me for lingering behind, saying
that it was already getting late, so I quickly went along with them. But a sense of uneasiness troubled me, and a strange longing invaded my soul, through no one knew
what was happening except God.
After we had been at Jozefinek for only a few minutes, I said to the sisters, “Let's go back
home.” The sisters asked for at least a moment's rest, but my spirit could find no peace.
I explained that we must return before dark; and in as much as we had quite a distance to
go, we immediately returned home. When Mother Superior met us in the hallway she
asked me, “Haven't the sisters gone yet, or have they already returned?” I said that we
had already returned because I did not want to be returning in the evening. I took off my
cloak and immediately went to the little chapel. As soon as I entered Jesus said to me,
Go to Mother Superior and tell her that you came back, not in order to reach home
before dark, but because I had taken your heart. Even though this was very difficult
for me, I went (17) to the Superior, and I told her frankly the real reason why I had come
back so soon, and I asked pardon of the Lord for everything that had displeased Him.
And then Jesus filled me with great joy. I understood that apart from God there is no
contentment anywhere.

On one occasion I saw two sisters who were about to enter hell. A terrible agony tore my
soul; I prayed to God for them, and Jesus said to me, Go to Mother Superior and tell
her that those two sisters are in danger of committing a mortal sin. The next day I
told this to the Superior. One of them had already repented with great fervor and the
other was going through a great struggle.

One day Jesus said to me, I am going to leave this house…. Because there are
things here which displease Me. And the Host came out of the tabernacle and came to
rest in my hands and I, with joy, placed it back in the tabernacle. This was repeated a
second time, and I did the same thing. Despite this, it happened a third time, but the Host
was transformed into the living Lord Jesus, who said to me, I will stay here no longer!
At this, a powerful love for Jesus rose up in my soul, I answered, “And I, I will not let You
leave this house, Jesus!” And again Jesus disappeared while the Host remained in my
hands. Once again I put it back in the chalice and closed it up in the tabernacle. And
Jesus stayed with us. I undertook to make three days of adoration by way of reparation.

Once Jesus said to me, Tell Mother General [Michael} that in this house…. Such and
such a thing is being committed … which displeases Me and offends Me greatly. I
did not tell this to Mother right away, but the uneasiness which the Lord made me feel did
not permit me to wait a minute longer, and I wrote immediately to Mother General, and
peace returned to my soul.

I often felt the Passion of the Lord Jesus in my body, although this was imperceptible [to
others], and I rejoiced in it because Jesus wanted it so. But this lasted for only a short
time. These sufferings set my soul afire with love for God and for immortal souls. Love
endures everything, love is stronger than death, love fears nothing……..
