SISTER FAUSTINA
However, after three weeks I became aware that there is so very little time here for prayer, and of many other things which spoke to my soul in favour of entering a religious community of a stricter observance.
It seemed to me that I had stepped into the life of Paradise. A single prayer was bursting forth from my heart, one of thanksgiving.
It is only from my cell that God can hear the moaning of a soul. I did not know that one was not allowed to pray in the cell after nine without permission. After a while a brightness filled my cell, and on the curtain, I saw the very sorrowful Face of Jesus. There were open wounds on His Face, and large tears were falling on my bedspread.
Not knowing what all this meant I asked Jesus: Jesus, who has hurt You so? And Jesus said to me.
OUR LORD JESUS
It is you who will cause Me this pain if you leave this convent. It is to this place that I called you and nowhere else; and I have prepared many graces for you.
SISTER FAUSTINA
I begged pardon of Jesus and immediately changed my decision.
