Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul

I've heard that some people don't like this diary, for whatever reason. I haven't heard specific reasons. However, this book is a masterpiece. Firstly, it has stellar spiritual advice which echos St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila and the Gospel- in an easily understood format. That means that it's up to the highest standard of the Church as regards teaching about prayer and spiritual progress. Secondly, it contains the message of God's mercy in particular which is literally impossible to understand and get your mind around. It also has a detailed account of the interior dispositions of a canonized Saint, and how they approached life's situation while living perfectly the grace of God. The only thing I would say is that scrupulous souls should understand how many fault St. Faustina talks about that she confesses are imperfections, and these may be confessed. But just be careful to understand that her soul is so pure the merest specks of dust are bothersome. That is the only thing that could go wrong, if you were at the same time ignoring all the bolded words from Jesus which are pure mercy. This book changed my life at 14, and I've read it 3 times cover to cover, comparing with other spiritual classics. This is pertinent to our times, and very worth the read. It's so packed with interesting anecdotes as well that one doesn't feel it's long. I'd recommend for anyone discerning a vocation to religious life, as the motivations of a religious are explicit in their perfect form, as they are in the works of St. Therese. Buy! Read!

I've been praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy on and off for years, and I've found this prayer to be extremely powerful. That said, the Diary of St. Faustina helped me to appreciate Jesus Christ, love Him better. and learn the history of this chaplet. Because of her personal relationship with Jesus and with God, it helped me to understand my own journey with Christ more clearly. Even though St. Faustina, who was chosen to write about Divine Mercy by Jesus, said she wasn't trained as a writer. But to me, her soulful words are some of the most beautiful and powerful I've ever read. Nearly every passage was filled with gems of wisdom. My highlighter is constantly busy while I read her diary. Within her notebooks, there are even passages that read like prayers. Her book is also helping me with my own personal journey back to Christ. St. Faustina spoke vividly about the trials and tribulations she underwent. I'm not trying to be sadistic, but I liked reading about them, because it taught me a great deal how to manage my own periods of sadness and spiritual struggles. During St. Faustina's darkest periods of suffering, she didn't lose her equilibrium by cultivating silence and her inner peace. She never lost her love or respect for God by blaspheming Him. She used prayer and silence as an effective weapon to disarm all problems. Some critics have said St. Faustina spoke with a childlike simplicity. But, I guess the purest love is expressed in a similar fashion. She was extremely humble always submitting her will to that of God's. One of my favorite pages in her diary was when she wrote down the words "My Will," on one page, then crossed the words out with a huge "X" and on an opposite page, placed on an opposite page how she'd only submit to God's will. St. Faustina was warm, kind and loving. She was like a star, whose love for God and Christ was incredibly pure, unapologetic and unconditional. She's become an example, to me, of what a true Christian and saint should be. I highly recommend this book for any Christian -- whether they are Catholic -- or not.

Never thought I'd like this book as much as I do. I read a lot of spiritual/scientific books so this one gives me yet another angle. Saint Faustina was an amazing lady who communicated directly with God and Jesus and documented it in her 4 book diary that she wrote over the course of 4 years that is the main part of this book. Although I haven't finished reading this yet, I thought I would lose interest in her diary after awhile but it keeps getting more interesting. It's a bit reminiscent of the Padgett messages (available online for free) where Dr. Padgett talked to spirits including Jesus via automatic writing. It's another facet of that, the Book of Urantia, the two Life Between Lives books by hypnotherapist Michael Newton, the Edgar Cayce transcripts and the RA Law of One readings. I highly recommend all of those for a well rounded perspective of God, spirituality and the afterlife. This book is different from the others in that it focuses on the feast of the divine mercy, which I had never heard of, and talks more about demons, satan and the importance of suffering than the others.

Superior packaging and expeditious delivery from this vendor. The book is a treasure for those spiritually inclined and hopefully influential for those less inclined. I have found this book to be easy to read and to understand. This diary was obviously written by an inspired, dedicated and God loving woman who consecrated her life to the service of God. I am confident I will profit from the words written down in this journal during Sr. Faustina's journey of love and sacrifice.

This book is exceptional in the detail it gives to visions, mandates, and general comportment that Sr. Faustina has. It is easy easy to read and reflect on the contents.

Wish I got it in large print

LIBRO NO APTO PARA CRISTIANOS. Este libro es una falsificación del libro escrito por Santa Faustina. La página 331 línea 10 revela claramente la farsa. Al enemigo no le hago publicidad. Bendito y alabado sea el Señor por siempre. Amén.

A precious treasure of a book that I will keep by my bedside forever. Easy to read and beautifully written.

Bien

Amazing, everyone should get the diary of st-faustina. You will learn all about Jesus’s mercy that is endless and new every morning, as well as how to trust in him especially when it is very hard.

A wonderful life
