SISTER MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA

Her name

Is forever linked

To the annual feast

Of the DIVINE MERCY

Celebrated the 2^nd Sunday of Easter

And at the Divine Mercy prayer

Celebrated each day at 3pm

Born August 25th, 1905

In now west central Poland

Helena was the third of ten children

She worked

As a housekeeper

In three cities

Before joining

The congregation of The Sisters

Of Our Lady of Mercy in 1925

While there

She worked as a cook, a gardener, and porter

She had

A DEEP interior life

In addition

To serving the need of the sisters

And the local people

Many Catholics at that time

Had a deep fear of God

And thought

That they could not be forgiven

Jesus-appearing to Sister Maria Faustina

Once told her

“I do not

Want to punish aching mankind

But I desire to heal it

Pressing it to my merciful heart”

Sister Maria

Wrote in her diary

“Neither graces-nor revelations-nor raptures

-Nor gifts granted to a soul

Make it perfect

But rather

The intimate union of the soul

With God

These gifts

Are mercy ornaments

Of the soul

But constitute

Neither its essence nor its perfection

My sanctity and perfection

Consist of the close union

Of my will

With the will of God”

Jesus loved us so much

Had so much mercy on us

That he preferred to die for us

Than to see us spend eternity in suffering

“Because judgment without mercy

Will be shown to anyone

Who has not been merciful

Mercy triumphs over judgment!” James 2:13

Sister Maria Faustina

Died of tuberculosis in 1938

Pope John Paul II

Beatified her in 1993

And canonized her 7 years later

We thank Sister Faustina

For her revelations of our Lord’s mercy

For all of us

And we thank our Lord

For BEING a merciful God

As Psalm 136 says

“God’s LOVE (God’s mercy ) ENDURES FOREVER”

INDEED

IF I MADE ONE FRIEND

OCTOBER 5^th, 2012

IF I MADE ONE FRIEND

If I

Made one friend

In this world

That is all

That I need

Especially if that friend

Is you

And we shared

A word about God

And peace, love

And understanding

And we shared the faith

Of the mustard seed

Because that

Is all this world needs

To overcome its greed

If I made one friend

In this world

I hope that friend

Is you

And that we shared

The faith of the mustard seed

Ps “As iron sharpens iron

So one man sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17

“Two are better than one

Because they have a good return for their work

His FRIEND can help him up

But pity the man who falls

And has no one to help him up” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

“He replied, “because you have so little faith

I tell you the truth

If you have faith as small as a MUSTARD SEED

You can say to this mountain,

“Move from here to there and it will move

Nothing will be impossible to you” Matthew 17:20

SAINT FRANCIS=OUR IMITATOR OF CHRIST

OCTOBER 4^th, 2012

SAINT FRANCIS-OUR IMITATOR OF CHRIST

He is

A man of the 13^th century

A man widely regarded

To be

The closest imitation of Christ

That ever walked this earth

He is

A person

Probably known

To everyone

Even in art, literature, and music

He is known

As the poor humble Saint

The man who

Gave up everything

For his Christianity

If Christianity is Christ

And it is

He is the truest of all Christians

He founded the Franciscan order

And had

A great love for Our Lady

But I think

What touches me the most

About Saint Francis

Is that

He found what we are all looking for

Peace

Jesus said

“My peace I leave with you

My peace I give to you”

And Saint Francis found

God’s peace

Jesus’ peace

So Saint Francis

Our closest imitator of Christ

Help us

To find that same peace

Be our inspiration

And help us to live

A life like you

A life dedicated

To our great and glorious God

And to live

With

A right faith

A firm hope

And according to God’s most perfect will

PEACE

Ps Today-October 4^th-is Saint Francis’ feast day

It also would have been my Uncle Don’s birthday.

Once-when he was visiting me-I dropped my Saint

Francis statue-his hand broke off-and Uncle Don glued it

Back together for me-May you rest in peace Uncle Don.

Saint Francis is also widely known as THE POOR MAN’S

SAINT. He gave up everything to follow GOD and CHRIST.

“BLESSED are the POOR in SPIRIT

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:3
