St. Faustina's Diary and the battle for souls

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How God’s Love overflows from the humble Heart of Jesus into the Heart of Mary and saints like Faustina to seek the good of others!

In paragraph 449, St Faustina wrote:

…I turned to our Holy Mother…Then I saw the Blessed Virgin, unspeakably beautiful. She came down from the altar to my kneeler, held me close to herself and said to me, "I am Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God…Be courageous. Do not fear obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the Passion of my Son, and in this you will be victorious.

In paragraph 450 St. Faustina wrote:

…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…It is the enemy who should fear us, and not we him. Satan defeats only the proud and cowardly because the humble are strong. Nothing will confuse or frighten a humble soul…

Mother of Mercy, pray for us.
St. Faustina, pray for us.
Jesus, Meek and Humble of Heart, make our hearts like Yours!

I have been a sad, confused soul since I first attempted reconciliation with the church. Never did, actually, I feel I snuck in by way of marriage. Anyway, I hold to Jesus like a child who knows, who KNOWS, and whatever goes on in the world or the church, I KNOW Jesus. I will let Him deal with details.

Dear Casilda,

To cling to Jesus as a child, is a great grace! “Because he clings to Me, I will deliver him”, the psalmist sings. It is as St. Faustina learned: only the humble soul is victorious because all her trust is in Jesus.

Mary, Mother of Mercy, Our Lady of Tenderness, pray for us.
Jesus we trust in You!
