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

P723

The words of Jesus to St Faustina:

“Your heart is My constant dwelling place…I unite Myself with you, take away your misery and give you My mercy… The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. My mercy is confirmed in every work of My hands. He who trusts in My mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are Mine, and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool.”

P715 “The moment I left the confessional, God’s presence enveloped me as before. I understood that God’s grace must be received just as God sends it, in the way He wants, and one must receive it in that form under which God sends it to us.”

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.”

P681

“Amid the greatest torments, I fix the gaze of my soul upon Jesus Crucified; I do not expect help from people, but place my trust in God. In His unfathomable mercy lies all my hope.”

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.”
