urn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you find spiritual gems. Marc Massery, a staff writer for the Marian Fathers at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, reflects on one such gem: 

Turn to any page of St. Faustina's Diary and you'll find spiritual gems. Like this one:My daughter, let three virtues adorn you in a particular way: humility, purity of intention, and love. Do nothing beyond what I demand of you, and accept everything that My hand gives you. Strive for a life of recollection so that you can hear My voice, which is so soft that only recollected souls can hear it ...(Diary 1779).

I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love (Diary, 1193).
