Popularity Contest

Reflect

Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938) was not the most popular woman in her community. Some regarded her as lazy; others, delusional. But she knew the only opinion that mattered was God’s, and she pushed on to fulfill his desire that she spread the message of divine mercy to the world. 


Pray

Saint Faustina,
I am a people pleaser.
I’m uncomfortable
being the only person
in the room
who has a different view.
Show me
by your example
how to please
the only one who matters,
and become spiritually indifferent
to those who criticize me.


Act

Share the truth God has put on your soul, even if it results in shocked looks from people you love and respect.

  1. Today St Faustina Oct 5.
    Thanks to my Mother I found Divine Mercy & St Faustina
    I place great importance and belief in Divine Mercy .
    I pray that when I and my family are dying that DM Chaplet is prayed over us. As did my Mother for Dad and my Uncle Leo, my sister did in turn for Mum. Knowing they are all in Heaven I still pray for them. Jesus said ‘No prayer is wasted’
    Jesus I Trust in You
