Oh, how great is the goodness of God, greater than we can understand. There are moments and there are mysteries of the divine mercy over which the heavens are astounded. Let our judgment of souls cease, for God's mercy upon them is extraordinary.
Mary Faustina KowalskaO King of glory, though you hide your beauty, yet the eye of my soul rends the veil. I see the angelic choirs giving you honor without cease.
Mary Faustina KowalskaThe greatest misery does not stop Me from uniting Myself to a soul, but where there is pride, I am not there.
Mary Faustina KowalskaOh, if only the suffering soul knew how it is loved by God, it would die of joy and excess of happiness! Some day, we will know the value of suffering, but then we will no longer be able to suffer. The present moment is ours.
Mary Faustina KowalskaHelp me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors.
Mary Faustina KowalskaA talkative soul lacks both the essential virtues and intimacy with God. A deeper interior life, one of gentle peace and of that silence where the Lord dwells, is quite out of the question. A soul that has never tasted the sweetness of inner silence is a restless spirit which disturbs the silence of others.
