"...moments with Our Lady" (St. Faustina's words)

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

St. Faustina wrote: (in her “Diary”, paragraph 792): "…I will spend this Advent in accordance with the directions of the Mother of God: in meekness and humility. In her next paragraph, St. Faustina continued:

1. I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the Lord’s coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus, make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill and thus has more need than ever of your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by your infinite mercy.

When Our Lady had appeared to her before this entry in her Diary, Mary had asked St. Faustina to “plead for humanity”. I posted on these words of Our Lady after I read them and the above quote indicates to me that Mary’s words had impressed themselves on St. Fautina’s soul, The Holy Spirit enkindling St. Faustina with the Fire of Divine Love.

Come Holy Spirit, kindle in us the Fire of Your Love.
Mary, Mother of God, as you prepared for Christ’s First Coming, intercede for us sinners. Give us your heart to welcome His Second Coming.
