This Jan. 27 marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz. With that in mind, we have a powerful story to share.

The following is an excerpt from the Marian Press book 52 Weeks with St. Faustina by Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle:

The following is an excerpt from the Marian Press book 52 Weeks with St. Faustina by Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle:

“The courage and strength that are in me are not of me, but of Him who lives in me — it is the Eucharist.”

— Diary, 91
