Saint Faustina speaking to Our Lady
“Since that time I have experienced an increasing devotion to the Mother of God. She has taught me how to love God interiorly and also how to carry out His holy will in all things. O Mary, You are joy, because through You God descended to earth [and] into my heart”. (Diary 40)
*****
O Mary, my Mother and my Lady, I offer You my soul, my body, my life and my death, and all that will follow it. I place everything in Your hands. O my Mother, cover my soul with Your virginal mantle and grant me the grace of purity of heart, soul and body. Defend me with Your power against all enemies, and especially against those who hide their malice behind the mask of virtue. O lovely lily! You are for me a mirror, O my Mother! (Diary 79)
*****
O Mary, my sweet Mother, I give you my soul, my body and my poor heart. Be the guardian of my life, especially at the hour of death, in the final strife (Diary 161)
*****
Mary, lead me, guide me. (Diary 11)
*****
O Mary, my Mother, I humbly beg of You, cover my soul with Your virginal cloak at this very important moment of my life, so that thus I may become dearer to Your Son and may worthily praise Your Son's mercy before the whole world and throughout all eternity. (Diary 220)
*****
I felt that I was her child and that She was my Mother. She did not refuse any of my requests. (Diary 260)
*****
Mother of God, Your soul was plunged into a sea of bitterness; look upon Your child and teach her to suffer and to love while suffering. Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by (the power of) God. (Diary 315)
O Mother, Virgin, purest of all lilies,
Your heart was Jesus' first
tabernacle on earth
Only because no humility
was deeper than yours
Were you raised above the choirs of
Angels and above all Saints.
Our Lady speaking to Saint Faustina
“Be courageous. Do not fear apparent obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the Passion of My Son, and in this way you will be victorious”. (Diary 449)
*****
“Oh, how very pleased I am with the homage of your love”. (Diary 1244)
*****
"Mary, my Mother, do You know how terribly I suffer?"
And the Mother of God answered me”,
“I know how much you suffer, but do not be afraid. I share with you your suffering, and I shall always do so”. (Diary 25)
*****
“I am Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God. Most pleasing to Me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God. (Diary 449)
*****
You give Me great joy when you adore The Holy Trinity for the graces and privileges which were accorded Me. (Diary 564)
In the evening, when I was praying, the Mother of God told me, “Your lives must be like Mine: quiet and hidden, in unceasing union with God, pleading for humanity and preparing the world for the second coming of God. (Diary 625)
*****
My daughter, strive after silence and humility, so that Jesus, who dwells in your heart continuously, may be able to rest. Adore Him in your heart. (Diary 785)
*****
Know, My daughter, that although I was raised to the dignity of Mother of God, seven swords of pain pierced My heart. Don't do anything to defend yourself; bear everything with humility; God himself will defend you. (Diary 786)
*****
I desire, My dearly beloved daughter, that you practice the three virtues that are dearest to Me - and most pleasing to God The first is humility, humility, and once again humility; the second virtue, purity; the third virtue, love of God As My daughter, you must especially radiate with these virtues. (Diary 1415)
*****
The soul's true greatness is in loving God and in humbling oneself in His presence, completely forgetting oneself and believing oneself to be nothing, because the Lord is great, but He is well-pleased only with the humble, He always opposes the proud.
(Diary 1711)
