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.

Miracle On My Lenten Journey (and it just started!)

✨ Friday’s Women’s Retreat was truly beautiful! ♥

Several hours before attending, I had reblogged a prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas, on my FB page not realizing how profoundly it would align with what was to come.

I was invited to the Women’s Retreat through my local Parish, Sacred Heart ❤️⛪ and given the honor of holding a candle for the Stations of the Cross 🕯️, joining the other women as we carried a flame for each station in reverence to our Blessed Lord.

For some time, I had carried a deep knot of unforgiveness—born from a painful spiritual trial. I had encountered a collective of souls who seemed unrepentant, and in their blindness, they struck at me viciously for my spiritual awareness. Attempting to explain the depths of it all would be futile, but in essence, I had been deceived, and through the veils of the enemy, bitterness had taken root in my heart.

For two years, I prayed—seeking clarity, wondering if what I had witnessed was truly their intent. Then, at this retreat, I was given the Eleventh Station. And in that moment, the answer became unmistakably clear:

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) ✝️🙏 Jesus offers forgiveness to those who are crucifying Him, embodying divine mercy. And this includes, THE ENTIRE WORLD at that precise moment.

With those words, peace settled into my soul, and the weight I had carried for so long was lifted.

🌿 A Lesson in Forgiveness------------------------------

Just when satan sought to shake my peace and patience by revealing things beyond my understanding, I believed, for a moment, that what I was witnessing was beyond even God’s sight. But I was mistaken.

Not a single soul on Earth fully comprehends the weight of their own actions as they persist in sin. And even when they believe they do, they do not—for if they truly understood, they would never persist so. In truth, they are simply lost, their hearts burdened with anger and confusion.

That is why we must pray and forgive, again and again, as often as we are wronged—just as Jesus did. 🙏💛

🌹 The 15 Promises of the Holy Rosary

The 15 Promises of the Holy Rosary were given by the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Dominic and later recorded by Blessed Alan de la Roche. These promises reveal the graces and blessings granted to those who faithfully pray the Rosary.

Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, I have been realizing the truth of the Virgin Mary’s 15 promises of the Holy Rosary! 🌿 We are blessed with the intercession of the entire celestial court and all the saints throughout our lives.

💙 Mother Mary, I am yours—please keep me safe beneath your mantle. 💙

🕯️ HE EVEN SENT ME THE SIGNAL ON MY CANDLE! 🕯️

🕊️ The 15 Promises of the Holy Rosary

1️⃣ Signal Grace: Those who faithfully serve me by reciting the Rosary shall receive special signal graces. 2️⃣ Divine Protection: I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all who recite the Rosary. 3️⃣ A Powerful Weapon Against Sin: The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. 4️⃣ Growth in Virtue: The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God and withdraw hearts from the love of the world and its vanities. 5️⃣ Sanctification of Souls: The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish. 6️⃣ Assurance of Grace at Death: Those who recite my Rosary devoutly shall not die without the sacraments of the Church. 7️⃣ Victory Over Trials: Those who are faithful to my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall partake in the merits of the saints in paradise. 8️⃣ Release from Purgatory: I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 9️⃣ Great Glory in Heaven: The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven. 🔟 Divine Assistance in Life: You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. 1️⃣1️⃣ Help in Defending the Faith: Those who propagate my Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 1️⃣2️⃣ Spiritual Brotherhood: I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death. 1️⃣3️⃣ Grace for Perseverance: All who recite the Rosary are my beloved children, and the brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. 1️⃣4️⃣ A Special Place in Heaven: Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. 1️⃣5️⃣ Mary’s Protection: Those who faithfully recite the Rosary shall be embraced by my special protection in times of danger and trial.

These promises reveal the immense power of the Rosary as a means of grace, protection, and salvation. 🌿🙏 Let us remain steadfast in prayer and devotion!

💖🕊️ Ave Maria! 🕊️💖

The entire celestial court refers to the vast assembly of heavenly beings who dwell in God's presence. It includes:

✨ The Holy Trinity – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. ✝️ 👑 The Blessed Virgin Mary – Queen of Heaven and Earth, who intercedes for us. 🌸 👼 The Angels – Including the nine choirs of angels:

🔥 Seraphim

🌟 Cherubim

👑 Thrones

⚖️ Dominions

💫 Virtues

💪 Powers

🎖️ Principalities

🕊️ Archangels (such as St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael)

👼 Angels (our guardian angels fall into this category) 🌿 The Saints – All the souls in heaven who lived in holiness and now intercede for us. 💖 The Just Who Have Died in Christ – Those being purified in purgatory who are destined for heaven.

When Mary promises that the entire celestial court will intercede for those devoted to the Rosary, it means that all of heaven—God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Mary, the angels, and the saints—will be praying and advocating for us in our journey toward salvation. 🙏✨

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.

[wcatradio]

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)
