Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul

A wonderful life

This is one of the most beautiful true stories of a Saint that i have ever read, & i have read a few! To go with her, on every step of her journey, from the moment she decided to become a nun, to entering the convent & of course the birth of the Divine Mercy...well, its emotional, endearing but also very spiritually uplifting too. I loved every single moment of it, every page of this truthful, sorrowful, powerful diary. Its so incredibly moving to read of her deep understanding of God & the relationship she had with him. She describes in wonderful detail the beautiful messages he gave her continuously & of the powerful visions she encountered throughout her vocation too, & although she suffered so terribly on her journey to the Kingdom of Heaven, & at times your heart breaks for her pain, there is also a huge part of you that will envy her for knowing God so closely & so intimately in a way that we could only ever imagine. She truly restores your faith & stirs all the emotions of your heart & soul. I could not be without her now. I have her Diary next to my bed & almost everyday i read a verse, or a page or a poem she wrote & once more & i am renewed. PLEASE PLEASE read this story, it will remind you of why we are here & of how LOVE & FAITH can change your soul forever if you just TRUST in God......GODBLESS YOU ALL xxxx

I recently watched a film about the life of St Faustina and prayed her Divine Mercy devotion in church on Divine Mercy Sunday. I was struck by her humility and simplicity and wanted to know more about this humble Polish nun,so I bought her Diary which was not expensive for such a gem. She writes very simply for a lay person to understand and her way is easy to follow. She is particularly good at describing those times when faith is difficult and this gives hope to us when we are struggling. If a great Saint can suffer 'darkness' and emptiness how can we be surprised when it happens to us in the midst of our own busy lives and trials. A great little book and a really good aid to prayer. I would recommend it

a classic spiritual book which every catholic should read and not just for the year of Mercy. I have bought over 25 copies to distribute in my parish. If you want to grow n knowledge of St Faustina and to trust in Divine Mercy and as a follow up to the Year of Mercy then this is THE book to read.

This book is a great addition for anyone devoted to The Divine Mercy. It fills in more detail of St Faustina and her trials. It also provides insight into the experiences she had with Jesus and how she managed these graces in her day to day life. Being a diary it is not a flowing narrative but an extensive series of short descriptions, events and encounters. This makes it easier to read short snippets at a time but doesn't allow for ease of following the story of her life as a narrative. This is a very long book and I have only scratched the surface with it but I am looking forward to reading more-a little everyday.

An extraordinary window in to the life of one devoted to Union with the Lord. Sometimes extravagant and more like the imaginings of a romantic it never the less calls every Christian to a deeper truer walk of faith, love and obedience to the God of all creation.

St Faustina's diary so simply but incredibly amazingly depicts the wonderful jtrue life journey she had with Jesus. It leaves you feeling in awe that Jesus used this beautiful women in such a magnanimous way. I love reading this diary as it inspires me greatly in my faith.

Arrived today! So quick after ordering! Have had this recommended to me so many times! Trying to read more books on saints. Good thick book plenty to read, one of them books you will always go back to. Can't wait to get stuck in☺️
