I remember my life with Marija. We rarely slept. If I saw Marija get up three quarters of an hour or an hour earlier than the two or three hours we were sleeping, I always wanted to know why. And one morning she was getting up at 4:30 so I said, "Marija, where are you going?" She was getting her shoes on and it wasn't her day for confession on the mountain in the morning. And I said, "where are you going?" She said, "Oh, so and so [a member of the prayer group] is not feeling good. I have to go see what's wrong." And I said, "But she didn't call." Because I answered all the phone calls, and the girl had been with us the day before, she wasn't sick. "No, no, she hasn't slept, she needs us, we have to go." At that moment someone was knocking on the window and it was two other members of the group. They said, "Marija, are you awake?" She said, "Yes, I'm getting ready, I'll be there in a minute." And so I said, "Well, how did they know?" And she wouldn't answer me, as if she didn't want to say anything. And so finally I said, "Come on, Marija, tell me how you know. I know you didn't get any information from the outside." And she said, "Well, love knows everything." And so there in the middle of the night were these young people that knew that one in the prayer group wasn't feeling so well, though she was fine the day before, and they were going to meet her, so she wouldn't be alone in whatever she was going through. And I said, "This is what I want, Lord, this is what I want! This is the way you want it - this I want!!!"
