Constantly Comparing Yourself?
Do you frequently compare yourself to other people? Let's see what St. Faustina's Diary has to say.
Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems. Like this one:
Today, during Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus in the midst of His sufferings, as though dying on the cross. He said to me, My daughter, meditate frequently on the sufferings which I have undergone for your sake, and then nothing of what you suffer for Me will seem great to you. You please Me most when you meditate on My Sorrowful Passion. Join your little sufferings to My Sorrowful Passion, so that they may have infinite value before My Majesty” (Diary, 1512).

Are you in the habit of praying the Chaplet for the dying? Jesus told St. Faustina:“At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this Chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the pardon is the same” (811).
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. Jesus told St. Faustina:My daughter, give Me souls. Know that it is your mission to win souls for Me by prayer and sacrifice, and by encouraging them to trust in My mercy. (1690) #StFaustina #DiscoveringTheDiary
