Think those that become saints never struggle with prayer? Think again. Sister Faustina shares with us some of her prayer struggles both external and internal. At one point, she is in the infirmary and is struggling to prepare her meditations because of a lack of light. Christ comes to the rescue and gives her points of His Passion to mediate on.

There is so much packed into today's readings. There's lots of talk about grace and the peace of Christ. What Christ says today in 143 is an answer to a prayer of mine. I can't tell you how happy I am to have read what He tells St. Faustina. Lots of good things to ponder in today's words.

So often we all want to see ourselves doing something "big" in this life. We forget that pure love is "capable of great deeds." Most of us are not going to do "big" things that will make us a household name. But, if we do everything in love, our actions will be great in the eyes of God, no matter how small they are.

What if our name became "Sacrifice?" Would we feel like we have lost our freedom? If we choose to follow our will, our lives will be very self-serving. If we choose to say "yes" to Christ, our lives will be focused on others and Christ. Many would think that this means we have lost our freedom, but is this true?

Sister Faustina just wants answers. She just wants a confessor to tell her whether she is truly following God's Will. She's worried that she's being deceived by illusions. We all feel these kinds of doubts at different times. So often we want straight-forward answers. "Just tell me what you want me to do!" we shout out to God.

Sister Faustina has to endure many judgmental eyes on her in her convent. Many of her fellow sisters believe her to be hysterical, a fantasist. She chooses to just remain silent, much like Our Lord when he was questioned by the Pharisees. Growing in holiness can be a lonely road at times. Oftentimes, people will not understand what God is doing in our soul. Which begs the question: What do we think sanctity is supposed to look like?

Today's readings are from Notebook 1, numbers 120-124.

Our readings today give us so much to discuss. We go over fighting spiritual battles and how the saints are able to do that, spiritual directors, and how people will not understand a soul growing in holiness.

The tongue is one of the greatest weapons. It can be used for such good, but more often than not it is used to wound. It is so hard for us to be still, be silent, and listen. I struggle with holding my tongue and it is something I have to work on constantly. The Holy Spirit is restraining me pretty frequently. Sister Faustina's writings are such good reminders to hold our tongue and to find times to be silent.

Today's readings are from Notebook 1, numbers 113-115.

"I just don't feel anything anymore with regards to my faith?" Ever heard that one? I know that it's a common complaint among many Christians. It can even cause some to leave the faith behind. Sister Faustina shares with us that there is a level of spirituality with God that doesn't involve the five senses at all.

Today's readings are from Notebook 1, number 112.

Sister Faustina gives us some great thoughts on what can hinder a soul in confession. She's got three points and I think a lot of us will be able to relate to what she shares with us.
