Jesus saved Anthony Munster of La Crosse, Wisconsin, from alcoholism. Anthony is sure of it.
From 1994 to 2011, he was consumed by that which he consumed. “I tried everything in regards to fixing my life: Alcoholics Anonymous, Celebrate Recovery, outpatient treatment, medications. But I had started drinking when I was about 16 years old. Alcohol was entrenched,” he said.

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems. Like this one:
Write, My daughter, that I am mercy itself for the contrite soul. A soul’s greatest wretchedness does not enkindle Me with wrath; but rather, My Heart is moved towards it with great mercy (Diary, 1739).
It happens every now and then. A terrible tragedy makes headlines, like a school shooting, and we can hardly bear to read the details.
