Status Updates From Dzienniczek: Miłosierdzie B...

“Oh, how sweet it is to toil for God and souls! I want no respite in this battle, but I shall fight to the last breath for the glory of my King and Lord. I shall not lay the sword aside until He calls me before His throne; I fear no blows, because God is my shield. It is the enemy who should fear us, and not we him. Satan defeats only the proud and the cowardly, because the humble are strong.”

Father Sopocko’s degrees of accomplishing God’s will:

1) The soul carries out rules and statutes pertaining to external observance
2) The soul faithfully accepts and carries out interior inspirations
3) The soul is fully abandoned to the will of God, and allows Him to dispose of it freely, and God does with it as He pleases, and it is a docile tool in His hands

“O my Creator and Lord, my entire being is Yours! Dispose of me according to Your divine pleasure and according to Your eternal plans and Your unfathomable mercy. May every soul know how good the Lord is; may no soul fear to commune intimately with the Lord; may no soul use unworthiness as an excuse, and may it never postpone [accepting] God‘s invitations, for that is not pleasing to the Lord.”

“True greatness of the soul is in loving God and in humility.”

“Praise the Lord, my soul, for everything, and glorify His mercy, for His goodness is without end. Everything will pass, but His mercy is without limit or end. And although evil will attain its measure, in mercy there is no measure… O God, You are compassion itself for the greatest sinners who sincerely repent. The greater the sinner, the greater his right to God’s mercy.”

St Faustina’s encounters with Satan and the demonic is pretty intense—but Jesus is so faithful to her through those encounters!
