On Thursday 25th August it will be the birthday of St. Faustina. This year would be her 100th birthday.
I feel like celebrating, having become a bit Faustina obsessive during this year.
It was inevitable really. My favourite psalm in protestant days was Ps51 - “Have mercy on me…” In the long road to Catholicism my most beloved prayer was the Jesus Prayer - “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy on Me, A Sinner” (or similar). If you haven’t read The Way of The Pilgrim I can recommend it. So discovering Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion is a great joy.
Permit me to put a few links to other sites here. First, a daily reading from the diary of Faustina:
www2.marian.org/revelation/dailyrev.zhtml
And a couple of others. The first currently has a stunning Faustina prayer on the front page. The second has lots of good articles.
