«Tomorrow You Will Be My Priest of the Heart!»

bishop sends word that you should bring the holy Oils along.» In
obedience, Nikolaus did so without thinking about it any further. So he
went to the police station. There, in the office of the Chief Police Officer,
Nikolaus saw his bishop again for the first time since his arrest. The
bishop came towards him saying: «Nikolaus, the SAVIOUR told you
yesterday that you will become a priest today.» Now the scales fell from
his eyes. A priest after all! And so, on 17 June 1977, he received the
holy ordination to the priesthood in front of five or six witnesses (all
police officers, male and female). At first, some of the officers smiled at

ignorance, my total unworthiness ...“»

At the same time, tears were constantly streaming down his face and
never ceased to flow throughout the entire Holy Mass. The SAVIOUR,
however, came to his aid. His Angel whispered to him what and how he
had to do this and that. So he recounted to us:
«I think it was the third Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that I celebrated. I
