The Power of Submitting to God's Will
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:
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).

Like this one:When I see that the burden is beyond my strength, I do not consider or analyze it or probe into it, but I run like a child to the Heart of Jesus and say … “You can do all things.” … I keep silent, because I know that Jesus Himself will intervene in the matter, and … instead of tormenting myself, I use that time to love Him.

Saint Faustina prayed the Rosary every day. One time, she wrote:… [One time] I saw many demons. One of these tried to vex me; taking the form of a cat, he kept throwing himself onto my bed and on my feet, and he was quite heavy, as if [weighing] a ton. I kept praying the rosary all the while, and toward dawn these beings vanished, and I was able to get some sleep. (412)
