Happy Monday! I hope that y'all are doing absolutely, totally, and fabulously wonderful! Here's a fun quotation from the Diary of St. Faustina for y'all to munch on this week:
"Love is a mystery that transforms
everything it touches into things beautiful and pleasing to God. The love of God makes a soul free. She is like a queen; she knows no slavish
compulsion; she sets about everything with great freedom of soul, because the
love which dwells in her incites her to action.
Everything that surrounds her makes her know that only God Himself is
worthy of her love. A soul in love with
God and immersed in Him approaches her duties with the same dispositions as she
does Holy Communion and carries out the simplest tasks with great care, under
the loving gaze of God. She is not
troubled if, after some time, something turns out to be less successful. She remains calm, because at the time of the
action she had done what was in her power.
When it happens that the living presence of God, which she enjoys almost
constantly, leaves her, she then tries to continue living in lively faith. Her soul understands that there are periods
of rest and periods of battle. Through
her will, she is always with God. Her
soul, like a knight, is well trained in battle; from afar it sees where the foe
is hiding and is ready for
battle. She knows she is not alone – God
is her strength." (Notebook II, #890)
