Wednesday, March 16 : Saint Faustina Kowalska

O Eternal Love, I want all souls you have created to come to know you. I would like to be a priest for then I would speak without ceasing about your mercy to sinful souls drowned in despair. I would like to be a missionary and carry the light of faith to savage nations in order to make you known to souls and to be completely consumed for them and to die a martyr’s death by completely emptying myself and denying myself for love of you, O Jesus, and for immortal souls. (…) O Jesus, my only hope, thank you for the book you have opened before my soul’s eyes. That book is your Passion which you underwent for love of me. It is from this book that I have earned to love God and souls. In this book there are found for us inexhaustible treasures. O Jesus, how few souls understand you in your martyrdom of love ! Oh! How great is the fire of purest love which burns in your most Sacred Heart. Happy the soul that has come to understand the love of the Heart of Jesus, It is my greatest desire that souls should recognize you as their eternal happiness, that they should come to believe in your goodness and glorify your infinite mercy,
