During my meditation, I heard these words: “My daughter, you give Me most glory by patiently submitting to My will, and you win for yourself greater merit than that which any fast or mortifica- tion could ever gain for you. Know, My daughter, that if you submit your will to Mine, you draw upon your- self My special delight. This sacrifice is pleasing to Me and full of sweetness. I take great pleasure in it; there is power in it”. (904).

If you like good deals, then you’ll appreciate this quote from St. Faustina’s Diary.
Saint Faustina wrote:"Our meals shall be such that not even the poor will have any reason to envy us" (546). So, it's no surprise that St. Faustina didn't eat meat on Fridays even outside of Lent. That was Canon Law. But since St. Faustina's time, Canon Law has allowed us, depending on our bishops conferences, to choose another penance on Fridays in place of abstaining from meat. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops allow a substitute penance. Nevertheless, the USCCB gives "first place to abstinence from flesh meat" (24, Pastoral Statement on Penance and Abstinence)
