The Diary of St. Faustina
“Divine Mercy in My Soul”
Saint Faustina's devotional life was driven by her sincere desire to bring her COMPLETE TRUST in the Lord's mercy into every aspect of life. For Faustina, Jesus was "MERCY INCARNATE," and He gave her a mission: to proclaim the message of the Divine Mercy throughout the world, especially through the spread of the Image of Mercy, and the celebration of the Feast of Mercy. Moreover, this message & devotion was to be a fresh call for her, and for all people, to be merciful to one another. Jesus said to her (entry 1688 shown below):
On page after page, THE DIARY OF ST. FAUSTINA proclaims the message of God's merciful love. It was not a new teaching, of course: just a new expression with a clear focus on I AM LOVE & MERCY IT ITSELF. SELF. the very center of the Catholic Faith: the loving kindness LET NO SOUL FEAR and compassion of God. TO DRAW NEAR TO ME, In private revelations EVEN THOUGH ITS SINS recorded in her diary, BE AS SCARLET. Jesus spoke to her words such as these
MY MERCY IS GREATER THAN YOUR SINS, AND THOSE OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. THE GRACES OF MY MER MERCY CY ARE DRAWN BY THE MEANS OF ONE VESSEL ONLY, AND THAT IS TRUST. THE MORE A SOUL TRUS TRUSTS, TS, THE MORE IT WILL RECEIVE. COME THEN WITH TRUST TO DRAW GRACES FROM THIS FOUNTAIN.
(entries 1074, 699, and 1578 shown left):
St. Faustina’s Diary is actually the compilation of several notebooks in which she recorded what was revealed to her by Jesus, as well as her own thoughts and her daily activities. It allows the reader a rare chance to experience, through her firsthand account, the Message of Divine Mercy as Jesus Himself wants us to know it.
My daughter, look into My Merciful Heart and reflect its compassion in your own heart and deeds, so that you who proclaim My mercy to the world may yourself be aflame with it. In addition to declaring the endless depths of His Mercy, Jesus reminds us, in specific terms, of our own responsibilities in being merciful to others. Saint Faustina was also shown a vision of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell and has clearly described each for us, lest there be any doubt about the reality of them. The Diary reminds us that we determine where our soul will spend eternity by our actions (deeds, words, prayer)not, as many people tell themselves, by our intentions. THE DIARY OF ST. FAUSTINA is available in paperback from at booksellers like Barnes &Noble and Amazon.com ($7.95). You can also receive a FREE PDF copy via email.

“Go, pick up the pieces
lest they be lost.” JOHN 6:12
With these words, John Cardinal O’Connor directed the Sisters of Life to a ministry of reverence for those women and men who suffer following the tragedy of abortion. Since 1996, they We are very proud to report that the students in have heeded that call with the help of Theresa Bonopartis, their our Religious Education Program (Grades 1-8), in co-worker in...

There are literally millions of women and men who, too often silently and alone, suffer some of the most devastating psychological & spiritual consequences of our society’s disregard for the sanctity of human life and sacredness of human sexuality. All retreats are led by Theresa Bonopartis and other women who have experienced both the suffering of abortion and the joy of healing in Christ; they are directed by faithful priests with a true heart for those who suffer and are hosted by the Sisters of Life. They include: Witnesses of Mercy, Scripture Sharing, Personal Prayer & Quiet Time, (the opportunity for) Sacramental Confession and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. UPCOMING RETREATS

(866)575-0075 hopeandhealing@sistersoflife.org CARDINAL DOLAN IS PICTURED HERE LEADING A PROCESSION FOLLOWING A MASS AT THE MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY HOME IN ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA. WITH SUPPORT FROM CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES, THIS HOME SERVES MORE THAN 1,000 CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO ARE ORPHANED OR ILL.
“I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. I WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU… BE DETERMINED AND CONFIDENT…
DO NOT BE AFRAID OR DISCOURAGED, FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, AM WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.”
“Not in the beauty of the color, nor of the brush lies the greatness of this image, but in My grace.” “My gaze from this image is like my gaze from the Cross.” “I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death.
“My daughter, look into the abyss of My mercy and give praise and glory to this mercy of Mine. Do it in this way: Gather all sinners from the enƟre world and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. I want to give Myself to souls; I yearn for souls, My daughter. On the day of My feast, the Feast of Mercy, you will go through the whole world and bring fainƟng souls to the spring of My mercy. I shall heal and strengthen them.” “The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him.”
Jesus gave St. Faustina the short prayer:
"O B½ÊÊ Ä W ã Ù,
ó«® « ¦çÝ« ¥ÊÙã« ¥ÙÊà 㫠H Ùã Ê¥ J ÝçÝ Ý ¥ÊçÄã Ê¥ M Ù ù ¥ÊÙ çÝ, I ãÙçÝã ®Ä YÊç." This prayer can be used as a “Three O’Clock Prayer”… as Jesus desires that we remember His Passion each day at the hour of Great Mercy - 3 O'Clock. Jesus asks us to immerse ourselves in His Passion by praying the Stations of the Cross each day at 3:00pm. If that is not possible, and you cannot stop into a Church at that time for a brief visit, Jesus asks us to remember His Passion with a brief prayer addressing His Divine Mercy (such as the one above). Jesus also taught St. Faustina to use this prayer for a Novena for the Holy Father’s intentions by praying it 33 times.
“Make a novena for the Holy Father's intenƟon. It should consist of thirty-three acts; that is, repeƟƟon that many Ɵmes of the short prayer- which I have taught you.”
