Happy Feast Day

Saint Faustina

Feast day: October 5

Patron of Mercy

St. Maria Faustina Kowalska was born in Glogowiec, Poland in 1905. The third of ten children from a poor family, she had little formal education. After applying to various convents in Warsaw, she was finally accepted by the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in 1925. For years Saint Faustina received revelations and visits from Christ. On Good Friday 1937, Christ appeared to her and dictated to her the prayers that He wished her to pray in a novena from Good Friday through the Octave of Easter, now known as Divine Mercy Sunday. Saint Faustina died in 1938, in Krakow, Poland, of tuberculosis.

The Feast

My mom is a very skilled home cook and comes from a line of caterers. She knows how to feed a crowd and her Polish ancestry means that there’s not enough unless everyone can eat 2 portions and the table still have leftovers. She was working on a luncheon for new families in our Parish and asked me to assist. I was more than willing to help and sous chef and hauler of the great many trays of…

🌟 Mercy in Islam: The Core of Faith 🌟

Mercy is the heart of Islamic teachings, woven through the Quran, Hadiths, and stories of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Quran opens with “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,” reminding us that divine mercy is boundless. The Prophet was sent as a mercy to all, guiding us to embody compassion in our lives.

Hadiths teach us that mercy is an active force, shaping our relationships and inviting Allah’s mercy in return. Stories like the woman forgiven for her kindness to a dog and the Prophet’s forgiveness of his opponents highlight mercy’s transformative power.

In Islam, faith and mercy are inseparable. Let’s strive to live by this divine mercy, spreading compassion and love.

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic evangelist and missionary Mary Kloska speaks about the common spiritualities of Sts. Therese of Liseux and St. Faustina. She explains both of their missions of being consumed by Christ's Divine Mercy and Love and spreading this message on earth. In comparing their writing, Mary shows how St. Therese's desires almost answer Christ's voice thirsting for love as He speaks to St. Faustina. And she reflects on how it is the utter littleness and weakness of both of these saints, that allows them to be consumed so fully by the Fires of Jesus' Merciful Love. (October 8, 2023)

Unveiling the Depths of God's Love: A Journey Through The Chronicles of Narnia

In a world often filled with chaos and uncertainty, there is a profound need for love, compassion, and hope and in my search for my passion, I have been continuously led back to the word LOVE. I feel his hand guiding me toward being a vessel of His love, reaching out to uplift, encourage, and bring healing to the lives of others. Guided by this timeless biblical verse, I am compelled to share the transformative power of God's love with the world. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34 (NIV). As a person who loves writing and feels a connection to fictional worlds and characters, I am often led to make comparisons of my faith to those fictional worlds and characters. This has been a skill I’ve really developed and used when working with kids because they often view the world through a comparison.

In the realm of literature, there are few narratives that I believe capture the essence of divine love as powerfully as C.S. Lewis' renowned series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Growing up, these books were my bedtime stories and birthday party themes. I distinctly remember going to see the third movie in theaters and how excited I was that the mall had made their greeting Santa area Narnia themed. 

C.S. Lewis is widely regarded as one of the most influential Christian writers of the 20th century. His journey with Christianity is a captivating narrative of intellectual exploration, deep introspection, and profound spiritual transformation. From his initial skepticism to his eventual conversion, Lewis's path to embracing Christianity illuminates the power of reason, imagination, and the pursuit of truth. While I could write a full breakdown of his journey to finding God, that’s not the goal of today’s blog entry.

Drawing inspiration from the Christian faith, Lewis weaves together a tapestry of fantastical adventures, moral dilemmas, and the undeniable presence of a divine being. As we delve into the enchanting world of Narnia, we discover echoes of God's boundless love for humanity, leading us to ponder the profound question: What can we learn about God's love through The Chronicles of Narnia?

The Chronicles of Narnia, with its vivid imagery and allegorical nature, reveals the multifaceted aspects of God's love, reminding us of the sacrificial nature of divine affection. Just as Aslan, the majestic lion and central character in the series, willingly lays down his life to save others, God's love is exemplified through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The parallel is undeniable, and it invites us to reflect on the depth of love that God has for humanity.

Throughout the series, we witness instances where characters in Narnia make mistakes, betray one another, or fall into despair. However, Aslan's unwavering love persists, offering redemption and the opportunity for transformation. In a similar way, God's love surpasses our shortcomings, our failures, and our sins. No matter how far we may have strayed, His love reaches out to embrace us, offering forgiveness, healing, and restoration.

The Chronicles of Narnia resonates with readers on a personal level, allowing us to perceive God's love in a tangible and relatable manner. As we immerse ourselves in the enchanting tale, we may uncover valuable lessons and applications for our own lives.

One significant personal application that I have drawn from this exploration is the call to extend God's love to others. Aslan's love for the characters in Narnia transcends boundaries and differences, emphasizing the importance of loving one another unconditionally. Similarly, we are called to mirror this divine love in our relationships, reaching out to those who are hurting, marginalized, or in need of compassion. The Chronicles of Narnia serves as a poignant reminder that through acts of kindness, empathy, and forgiveness, we can manifest God's love and transform lives.

The Chronicles of Narnia acts as a captivating portal through which we can glimpse the profound depths of God's love. C.S. Lewis masterfully intertwines elements of fantasy and spirituality, inviting readers to embark on a journey that reveals divine truths. From the sacrificial love demonstrated by Aslan to the transformative power of forgiveness, this literary masterpiece presents a vivid tapestry of God's love in action.

As we close the book on our journey through Narnia, many people have resonated with the relatable characteristics of the characters brought to life by Lewis. Whether you feel seen by the writings of Peter’s pride, Susan’s unwavering need for things to be logical, Edmund’s jealousy of his siblings' seemingly unwavering faith, or Lucy’s feelings of being unseen or unheard, we can carry the lessons we learn from these characters and embrace God's unwavering love in our own lives. Just as the characters in The Chronicles of Narnia are forever changed by encountering Aslan's love, may we also be transformed by the overwhelming, boundless love of God.
