to the Lord by
a simple act of
loving faith all
her doubts,
the pain of not
feeling the Lord’s
presence or love,
even the fear that
God had rejected
her and was
angry with her.
Even though she
felt this way,
she chose not
to believe it,
not to live out of
these feelings,
but to live by
faith in the Lord alone.
She believed the
Lord knew what
she needed,
that He would
not allow her to
deal with more
than she could handle.
Her job was to trust in Him.
(Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska died at the age of 33 in 1938, misunderstood by most of the religious sisters with whom she had lived her life.They appreciated her kindness, hard work, and faithfulness to their rule of life, but many of her fellow religious also thought that she was delusional
She believed that she was entrusted with the mission of making the Lord’s mercy known)
