[Diary 314]
+When I went to the garden one afternoon, my Guardian Angel said to me,
"Pray for the dying." And so I began at once to pray the rosary with the
gardeners for the dying. After the rosary, we said various prayers for
the dying. After the prayers, the wards began to chat gayly among
themselves. In spite of the noise they were making, I heard these words
in my soul: "Pray for me!" But as I could not understand these words
very well, I moved a few steps away from the wards, trying to think who
it could be who was asking me to pray. Then I heard the words: "I am
Sister ...."[78] This sister was in Warsaw while I was, at the time, in
Vilnius. "Pray for me until I tell you to stop. I am dying."
Immediately, I began to pray fervently for her, [addressing myself] to
the expiring Heart of Jesus. She gave me no respite, and I kept praying
from three [o'clock] until five. At five, I heard the words: "Thank
you!" and I understood that she had died. But during Holy Mass on the
following day, I continued to pray fervently for her soul. In the
afternoon, a postcard came saying that Sister ... had died at such and
such a time. I understood that it was at the same hour when she had said
to me, "Pray for me."Source: DIARY, Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul © 1987 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M. Stockbridge, MA 01263. All Rights Reserved. Used with permission.
