Discovering the Diary

By Marc Massery

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary and you find spiritual gems. Like this one:

During my meditation, I heard these words: “My daughter, you give Me most glory by patiently submitting to My will, and you win for yourself greater merit than that which any fast or mortifica- tion could ever gain for you. Know, My daughter, that if you submit your will to Mine, you draw upon your- self My special delight. This sacrifice is pleasing to Me and full of sweetness. I take great pleasure in it; there is power in it” (904).

The Diary doesn't read like a chronological narrative. Blame Satan for that.

Is Jesus asking the seemingly impossible — that we become purer than the angels?
