What About the Poor?
How do you treat the poor? Turn to any page of St. Faustina's Diary, and you'll find spiritual gems. 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. And then they speak to me freely about their troubles and needs.(1282)

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary and you’ll find spiritual gems. Like this one: I saw that God Himself seemed to be opposing [Fr. Sopocko], and I asked the Lord why He was acting in this way toward him, as though He were placing obstacles in the way of his doing what He Himself had asked him to do. And the Lord said, I am acting thus with him to give testimony that this work is Mine. Tell him not to fear anything; My gaze is on him day and night. There will be as many crowns to form his crown as there will be souls saved by this work.
