All things will come to an end; but love, never Although outwardly I meet with many sufferings and various adversities, this does not, however, lessen my interior life for a moment nor disturb my inner silence. I do not fear at all being abandoned by creatures because, even if all abandoned me, I would not be alone, for the Lord is with me. And even if the Lord were to hide, love will know how to find Him. For love knows no gates or guards; even the keen-eyed Cherub himself, with his flaming sword, will not stop love; it will work its way through wilderness and scorching heat, through storm, thunder and darkness, and will reach the source from which it came, and there it will endure forever. All things will come to an end; but love, never. (Diary 1022) SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 "God loves those who thank Him even in suffering." — St. Arnold Janssen

Faithful to Prayer During the Holy Hour, the Lord allowed me to taste His Passion. I shared in the bitterness of the suffering that filled His soul to overflowing. Jesus gave me to understand how a soul should be faithful to prayer despite torments, dryness and temptations; because often times the realization of God's great plans depends mainly on such prayer. If we do not persevere in such prayer, we frustrate what the Lord wanted to do through us or within us. Let every soul remember these words: "And being in anguish, He prayed longer." I always prolong such prayer as much as is in my power and in conformity with my duty. (Diary 872) SEPTEMBER 29, 2019 "Keep to the ancient way and custom of the Church, established and confirmed by so many Saints under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And live a new life. Pray, and get others to pray, that God not abandon His Church, but reform it as He pleases, and as He sees best for us, and more to His honour and glory." — St. Angela Merici

The prayer of a humble and loving soul ( Jesus speaks to Saint Maria Faustina) Jesus made known to me how very pleasing to Him were prayers of atonement. He said to me,"The prayer of a humble and loving soul disarms the anger of My Father and draws down an ocean of blessings". (Diary 320) SEPTEMBER 28, 2019 "Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us." — St. Alphonsus Liguori

The Number of Souls We do not know the number of souls that is ours to save through our prayers and sacrifices; therefore, let us always pray for sinners. SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 "All the science of the Saints is included in these two things: To do, and to suffer. And whoever has done these two things best, has made himself most saintly." — Saint Francis de Sales

To give myself completely to souls My heart is a permanent dwelling place for Jesus. No one but Jesus has access to it. It is from Jesus that I derive strength to fight difficulties and oppositions. I want to be transformed into Jesus in order to be able to give myself completely to souls. Without Jesus I would not get near to souls, because I know what I am of myself. I absorb God into myself in order to give Him to souls. SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 "Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be." — St. Therese of Lisieux

Encourage souls to say the chaplet (Jesus speaks to Saint Maria Faustina) "Encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one." SEPTEMBER 25, 2019 "Consider God's charity. Where else have we ever seen someone who has been offended voluntarily paying out his life for those who have offended him?"

I feel the constant presence of God Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being loved by God. At those times when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so happy that I do not know how to express it. Such moments are short, for the soul could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable.  SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 "We should take as a maxim never to be surprised at current difficulties, no more than at a passing breeze, because with a little patience we shall see them disappear. Time changes everything." — St. Vincent de Paul

Your Mission ( Jesus speaks to Saint Maria Faustina) "Know that it is your mission to win souls for Me by prayer and sacrifice, and by encouraging them to trust in My mercy". (Diary 1690) SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 "Love Our Lady and make her loved; always recite the Rosary and recite it as often as possible." — St. Padre Pio

The Salvation of Immortal Souls O Jesus, I long for the salvation of immortal souls. It is in sacrifice that my heart will find free expression, in sacrifice which no one will suspect. I will burn and be consumed unseen in the holy flames of the love of God. The presence of God will help my sacrifice to be perfect and pure. (Diary 235)

SEPTEMBER 22, 2019 "Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you." — St. Thomas Aquinas

Mercy |  Chaplet  |  Feast of Mercy   |  Petition  |  Book Shop Oh, how much I love Holy Church Almost every feast of the Church gives me a deeper knowledge of God and a special grace. That is why I prepare myself for each feast and unite myself closely with the spirit of the Church. What a joy it is to be a faithful child of the Church! Oh, how much I love Holy Church and all those who live in it! I look upon them as living members of Christ, who is their Head. I burn with love with those who love; I suffer with those who suffer. I am consumed with sorrow at the sight of those who are cold and ungrateful; and I then try to have such a love for God that it will make amends for those who do not love Him, those who feed their Saviour with ingratitude at its worst.

Mercy |  Chaplet  |  Feast of Mercy   |  Petition  |  Book Shop Jesus, hide me in Your mercy Jesus, hide me in Your mercy and shield me against everything that might terrify my soul. Do not let my trust in Your mercy be disappointed. Shield me with the omnipotence of Your mercy, and judge me leniently as well.  (Diary 1480)

The most deadly poison of our time, is indifference.  And this happens, although the praise of God should know no limits.  Let us strive, therefore to praise Him, to the greatest extent of our powers.
