Day by Day with Saint Faustina: 365 Reflections

by Susan Tassone

These pages bring you a beautiful collection of spiritual treasures drawn from the celebrated Diary of Catholic visionary and mystic, St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938).

Arranged by award-winning and best-selling Catholic author Susan Tassone into a handy, day-by-day form, these selections from Faustina’s writings on Divine Mercy – revealed to her over the years in mystical conversations with Jesus himself – will help you do what Jesus told Faustina he wants you to do: trust completely in His mercy and show mercy to others.

By means of these daily readings, you’ll come to know – and be enriched by – St. Faustina’s “Secrets of Sanctity,” awakening in you the qualities of Divine Mercy that Jesus himself infused into Faustina’s soul: mercy(of course), but also trust, humility, and peaceful acceptance of God’s will for you.

Since her death just over 80 years ago, St. Faustina has been a source of strength and inspiration for millions of souls across the globe, including St. John Paul II who canonized her in the year 2000. Today, she can begin bringing you, too, the strength and inspiration you need.

In Day by Day with Saint Faustina, you’ll learn how to:

• Grow daily closer to Christ in the Eucharist.

• Use your suffering to help others, including the souls in purgatory.

• Grasp the striking details of Faustina’s mystical experiences, prophecies, and revelations — and discover what they mean for you in particular. Soon you’ll begin to experience in your soul the graces that were poured into hers.

You’ll find yourself becoming, like Faustina, an Apostle of Mercy, teaching others – by word and example – about the infinite love and compassion of God, who is Divine Mercy.

I've been using these daily reflections for a couple of months now and appreciate their simplicity, brevity, and meaningfulness. This book has been a fruitful addition to my daily prayers! I enjoy its focus on the Divine Mercy devotion and memento mori.

Wonderful daily devotional. Perfect addition to spiritual reading to keep the mind focused on the important aspects of life. Some of the selections really hit home for what’s happening in my life at the time. For Catholics, a beautiful way to increase reverence and love for the Eucharist. 😇

Susan Tassone, well-known for her other writing on Purgatory, Adoration, and Divine Mercy, has taken St. Faustina’s Diary and made it accessible in a new daily devotional from Sophia Institute Press. This book is a page-per-day devotional that bridges the gap between the spiritual and the practical. While the monthly sections of the book are not organized by theme, Susan’s choice of readings for each day of the year are often informed by the liturgical calendar. Each day’s reflection is made up of three parts: a quote from the Diary, a short reflection (just a few sentences) that’s instructional and also a call to action or sometimes a quote from Scripture, and a simple prayer to wrap it up. Read my full review. Review copy received from publisher.

I use it daily. Great meditations for every day of the year. It keeps me focused on spiritual thoughts during the day. A compliment to doing the Divine Mercy Prayers every day. Helps me have more compassion for others.
