A Great Joy Filled My Soul

Today, as Pro-Life marchers take to the streets in our nation's capitol, we ask you to fast in reparation for the sin of abortion and for the conversion of those who ardently promote it.

Passage 39 from the Diary of St. Faustina was read at the conclusion of Mass this morning celebrated at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. We immediately thought it was the perfect thing to reflect upon while fasting today.

The video posted below the passage explains the reason for the devastating chastisement upon Warsaw (abortion) but also how God's mercy is "greater than our sins and those of the entire world."

The last part of this Diary passage gives us a clue as to why and how things can and will change if we persevere in our call to holiness and spiritual battle. Let us focus on "the kindness of Jesus" and in "seeing the goodness of God" rather than the hate and carnage laid waste by the evil one so that we can say as did St. Faustina, "a great joy filled my soul" because who couldn't use some joy right now??

Thank you Jesus. Lord, have mercy.

Dave & Joan, your fast friends

+ One day Jesus told me that He would cause a chastisement to fall upon the most beautiful city in our country [probably Warsaw]. This chastisement would be that with which God had punished Sodom and Gomorrah. I saw the great wrath of God and a shudder pierced my heart. I prayed in silence. After a moment, Jesus said to me, My child, unite yourself closely to Me during the Sacrifice and offer My Blood and My Wounds to My Father in expiation for the sins of that city. Repeat this without interruption throughout the entire Holy Mass. Do this for seven days.

St. Maria Faustina Kowalska of the Blessed Sacrament 1905-1938

On the seventh day I saw Jesus in a bright cloud and began to beg Him to look upon the city and upon our whole country. Jesus looked [down] graciously. When I saw the kindness of Jesus, I began to beg His blessing. Immediately Jesus said, For your sake I bless the entire country. And He made a big sign of the cross over our country. Seeing the goodness of God, a great joy filled my soul.

Why Divine Mercy for America?

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) did her best to do as the Lord commanded, keeping a diary during the last four years of her life. Several times she recorded that Jesus requested prayers and entreaties for her country.
