Suddenly, I found myself in a strange cottage where an elderly man was dying amidst great torments. … When I began to pray … The soul became calm and, filled with trust, rested in the Lord.

Like this one:When the same poor people come to the gate a second time, I treat them with greater gentleness, and I do not let them see that I know they have been here before; [I do this] in order not to embarrass them.

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems. Like this one: My daughter, write that it pains Me very much when religious souls receive the Sacrament of Love merely out of habit, as if they did not distinguish this food. I find neither faith nor love in their hearts. I go to such souls with great reluctance. It would be better if they did not receive Me (Diary, 1288).
The most dangerous thing you could ever do is not trust God!Jesus told St. Faustina:The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I Myself take care of it. (1273)
