Darryl Friesen’s Reviews > Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul > Status Update

P688

“Jesus, Life and Truth, my Master, guide every step of my life, that I may act according to Your holy will.”

P682

“The more I feel that God is transforming me, the more I desire to immerse myself in silence. The love of God is doing its work in the depths of my soul. I see that the mission which the Lord has entrusted to me is beginning.”

P678

“The essence of the virtues is the will of God. He who does the will of God faithfully, practises all the virtues. In all the events and circumstances of my life, I adore and bless the holy will of God. The holy will of God is the object of my love. In the most secret depths of my soul, I live according to his will. I act exteriorly according to what I recognize inwardly as the will of God.”

P663 “O my Jesus, I know that a person‘s greatness is evidenced by his deeds and not by his words or feelings. It is the works that have come from us that will speak about us. My Jesus, do not allow me to daydream, but give me the courage and strength to fulfill Your holy will. Jesus, if You wish to leave me in uncertainty, even to the end of my life, may Your Holy Name be blessed.”

652 There is one word I heed and continually ponder; it alone is everything to me; I live by it and die by it, and it is the holy will of God. My whole soul listens intently to God‘s wishes. I do always what God asks of me, although my nature often quakes and I feel that the magnitude of these things is beyond my strength. I know well what I am of myself, but I also know what the grace of God is, which supports me.

St Faustina’s sufferings through Holy Week 1936—Wow! 🙏🏻

“O Divine Will, You are the delight of my heart, the food of my soul, the light of my intellect, the omnipotent strength of my will; for when I unite myself with Your will, O Lord, Your power works through me and takes the place of my feeble will. Each day, I seek to carry out God‘s wishes.”

P633

“I am greatly surprised at how one can be so jealous. When I see someone else’s good, I rejoice at it as if it were mine. The joy of others is my joy, and the suffering of others is my suffering, for otherwise I would not dare to commune with the Lord Jesus. The spirit of Jesus is always simple, meek, sincere; all malice, envy, and unkindness disguised under a smile of good will are clever little devils.”

Paragraph 628

St Faustina’s prayers for Sister Antonina re: assurance of God’s forgiveness of her sins and love for her ❤️🥹🙏🏻

“Nothing will deter me from doing the will of God. I am not counting on my own strength, but on His omnipotence for, as He gave me the grace of knowing His holy will, He will also grant me the grace of fulfilling it.”
