All this has cost much, not only the sacrifices and disappointments of various kinds, but also a lot of money, and has done everything the Rev. Dr. Sopocko.

Sopocko Don wrote in his diary:
"There are truths that you know, often we hear about and talk about it, but you do not understand. So it was with me, as regards the truth about God's mercy. Often referred to this truth in the homilies, I thought about during retreats, repeated the prayers of the Church - especially in the Psalms - but I did not understand the significance of this truth or depth of its content, namely that it is the highest attribute of 'God's work outside. We wanted to order a simple nun, Sister Faustina, the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy (Mary Magdalene), who headed inside, I spoke briefly and often repeated, encouraging them to explore, study and reflect on this often truth. (...) at the beginning I did not know what it was, I listened, I doubted I was asking myself questions, I did research and I would recommend to others - only a few years later I realized the importance of this , the immensity of this idea and I am convinced of the effectiveness of that old myself, how great and life-giving worship, but overlooked by those who called for a renewal in our time. (...) The belief in Divine Mercy, the disclosure of the cult of this mercy of others and to devote to it, without limitation, all my thoughts, words and deeds, without a shadow of trying myself, will be d 'now on a principle fondamentale della mia vita, con l’aiuto della medesima misericordia incommensurabile”.
