St. Maria Faustina Kovalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with

kitchen made it clear to me how irritated she was that I had come late for dinner, although it was

quite impossible for me to have come sooner. At any rate, I felt so unwell that I had to ask Mother Superior to allow me to lie down.

I went to ask Sister N to take my place, and again I got a scolding.

I put up with all that, but that wasn't the end. I still had to ask the sister who was in charge of the sick to bring me my meal.

When I told her this, she burst out of the chapel into the corridor after me to give me

a peace of her mind. Why on earth are you going to bed, sister, etc.?
