The Diary

In her diary, St. Faustina wrote about her visits from the Lord, as well as her own thoughts, reflections and experiences. Today, this diary is a valuable source of material for reflection for all of us. Do you want to walk with this great saint through the trials and joys of her life? Below is a random excerpt from her Diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul.

"+During adoration I felt God close to me. A moment later I saw Jesus and Mary. At the sight of them I was filled with joy, and I asked the Lord, "What is Your will, Jesus, concerning the matter about which my confessor told me to ask You?" Jesus replied, It is My will that he should remain here and that he should not take the initiative of dispensing himself. I asked Jesus whether the inscription could be: "Christ King of Mercy." He answered, I am King of Mercy, but He did not say "Christ." I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy. Through the Word Incarnate I make known the bottomless depth of My mercy."
