Divine Mercy Diary Exerpts

 

Jesus's words are in italics.  St. Faustina's words are in regular print.

 

"Your task is to write down everything that I make known to you about My mercy, for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me." (1693)

 

 

"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy." (300)

This series will be excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina. Some are short. Some are longer. I am keeping the spelling from the website in the title.

Unity with God

The enlightened mind sees clearly and distinguishes the various degrees of the spiritual life. It recognises [that when] its union with God was imperfect: where the senses were involved, and the spirit was linked with the senses in a manner - exalted and special, to be sure - but not yet perfect. There is a higher and more perfect union with God; namely intellectual union. Here, the soul is safer from illusions; its spirituality is purer and more profound. In a life where the senses are involved, there is more danger of illusion....There are moments when God introduces the soul to a purely spiritual state. The senses dim and are seemingly dead. The soul is most closely united to God; it is immersed in the Deity; its knowledge is complete and perfect...total and absolute. (115)

When the Lord himself wants to be close to a soul and to lead it, he will remove everything that is external..... The superiors were indeed solicitous for the sick, but the Lord ordained that I should feel forsaken. This best of masters withdraws every created thing in order that He himself might act.  (149)

Jesus, tomorrow morning I am to make my perpetual vows. I had asked heaven and earth and had called upon all beings to thank God for this immense and inconceivable favour of His when suddenly I heard these words, My daughter, your heart is My heaven. ... I thought: What is it going to be like in heaven, if already here in exile God so fills my soul."(238)

Even among the sisters you will feel lonely. Know then that I want you to unite yourself more closely to Me. I am concerned about every beat of your heart. Every stirring of your love is reflected in My Heart. (1542)

Do not change your particular examen which I have given you through Father Andrasz; namely, that you unite yourself with Me continually. That is what I am clearly asking of you today. (1544)

The freshness of your heart captivates Me; that is why I unite Myself with you more closely than with any other creature. (1546)
