St Faustina Mercy In All Things is a series of prayerful reflections based on the Diary of St Faustina, the Saint of Divine Mercy. Drawing on selected quotations from her Diary, these thoughtful and topical reflections provide an introduction to the prayer of this great saint, who dedicated her life to spreading the message of God’s love through devotion to the Merciful Jesus.

Jesus said to saint Faustina:

I am love and mercy itself. … Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. … My mercy is greater than your sins, and those of the entire world. … I let My Sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain. … The graces of My mercy are drawn by the means of one vessel only, and that is trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive.

Sr. Faustina’s devotional life was driven by her sincere desire to put her complete trust in the Lord’s mercy in every aspect of life. For her, Jesus was “Mercy Incarnate,” and the Lord had given her a mission: to proclaim this message of The Divine Mercy throughout the world, especially by the spread of the Image of Mercy, and the celebration of the Feast of Mercy. Moreover, this message and devotion was to be a fresh call to her, and to all people, to be merciful to one another. Jesus had said to her (entry 1688):

My daughter, look into My Merciful Heart and reflect its compassion in your own heart, and in your deeds, so that you who proclaim My mercy to the world may yourself be aflame with it.

As a result, Sr. Faustina was noted in her community for her special care of the poor who came to the convent seeking food, for the sick and infirm, and for the dying. She was also especially beloved by the destitute girls whom the sisters trained and educated at their religious houses.

Faustina’s devotion to Jesus Christ found its center and wellspring in the Holy Eucharist. As she wrote in her Diary (entries 1392, 1489, 1037, 223):

All the good that is in me is due to Holy Communion. … Herein lies the whole secret of my sanctity. … One thing alone sustains me and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort. … Jesus concealed in the host is everything to me. … I would not know how to give glory to God if I did not have the Eucharist in my heart. …

O living Host, my one and only strength, fountain of love and mercy, embrace the whole world, and fortify faint souls. Oh blessed be the instant and the moment when Jesus left us His most merciful Heart!
