Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska
Monday, March 7 Do Not Fear; I Am with You
Why Are You Fearful? On one occasion, the Lord said to me, Why are you fearful and why do you tremble when you are united to Me? I am displeased when a soul yields to vain terrors. Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks (Diary, 453).
On one occasion, I felt an urge to set to work and fulfill whatever God is demanding of me. I entered the chapel for a moment and heard a voice in my soul saying, Why are you afraid? Do you think that I will not have enough omnipotence to support you? At that moment, my soul felt extraordinary strength, and all the adversities that could befall me in carrying out God's will seemed as nothing to me (Diary, 527).
My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, I trust in Your omnipotence to care for me. Give me strength when I am fearful and question Your love and mercy.
