Tuesday's Mercy Minutes...

Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Tuesday, October 11  Writing For the Benefit of Souls  You have not written everything in the notebook about My goodness towards humankind; I desire that you omit nothing; I desire that your heart be firmly grounded in total peace (Diary, 459).

January 23, [1937]. I did not feel like writing today. Then I heard a voice in my soul: My daughter, you do not live for yourself but for souls; write for their benefit. You know that My will as to your writing has been confirmed many times by your confessors. You know what is pleasing to Me, and if you have any doubts about what I am saying, you also know whom you are to ask. I grant him light to pronounce judgment on my case. My eye watches over him. My daughter, you are to be like a child towards him, full of simplicity and candor. Put his judgment above all My demands. He will guide you according to My will (Diary, 895).

My Prayer Response:  Lord Jesus, thank You for making known to St. Faustina the importance of writing her Diary. Thank You for stressing to her that she was to live and write for the benefit of souls like ourselves.
