Turn to any page of St. Faustina's Diary, and you'll find spiritual gems. Like this one:
This would be my mortification. I did not know that this would be so beneficial to my soul. The benefit is that I am meditating constantly on His sorrowful Passion and so, while I am eating, I am not preoccupied with what I am eating, but am reflecting on my Lord’s death. (618)
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).
Can the dying receive the same graces from our Divine Mercy Chaplets for them even if we're not physically present with them?
This week, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC offers encouragement for us to uphold ourselves to our Lenten penances and to not be discouraged if we have failed to observe them.
