What's love got to do with it? Everything! Love for God and love from God is at the heart of our relationship with Him. Sister Faustina's writings today are like a beautiful love letter to her beloved. The best way to love God is to give Him your whole life.

200 DAYS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Because of the flow of our readings today, it's going to be a little longer today. Pay close attention to what Sister Faustina has to say about confessors and spiritual directors.

This week we are reading from the 29th number in "Way to Inner Peace." We are talking about the obtrusiveness of evil from the learning section. You may be wondering what evil has to do with learning. We have to learn that we truly are in a spiritual battle between good and evil. We have to understand and realize that there are powers out there trying to force evil on us.

Three key points: Rottenness, false prophets, and pardon.

We are all called as baptized Christians to proclaim the Good News. Two of the best ways to do that is to: 1. Live our Catholic Faith fully and boldly and 2. Be able to explain the faith with clarity and charity. Sister Faustina today is greatly concerned for mankind, especially for those that don't know Jesus and those that know who He is but don't love Him.

Sister Faustina is overwhelmed by all the sin on Shrove Tuesday. She wonders why God allows humanity to exist. All the bad in the world can overwhelm us and make us wonder what God is up to. It may even cause us to question whether we should be people of faith. We must remember that our calling as Christians is to wade into the dark and bring light, because...if not us, then who?

Do you ever feel like you shouldn't burden God with all that's on your mind? Do you think that He has more important things to do than listen to you? God tells Sister Faustina to tell Him everything. He wants her to approach Him like a child and talk to Him about everything. Don't forget, God can handle all your thoughts and prayers and He wants to hear what you have to say.

Today's readings are from Notebook 2, numbers 915-918.

Sister Faustina shares a really dramatic scene. She tells us about a sick Jewish woman that she and another Sister are trying to figure out how to baptize before she dies. So, we are going to talk about Baptism and refresh our memories about this wildly important Sacrament.

It's all downhill from here, Catholic Pilgrims. What do I mean? Well, today is the halfway point with regards to the numbers. Congrats!

We will be discussing the Blessed Trinity today as Sister Faustina gives her thoughts on the oneness of God. The Blessed Trinity is not an easy mystery to explain, but it is a reality. God revealed that He is Three Persons in One God.

A lot of people leave their Catholic Faith or Christianity, in general, because they have had a bad experience with a bad Christian. That is why it is so important for us to give good witness because people are watching and we are held to a higher standard as Christians. We, also, have to remember that bad Christians are NOT living up to the Christian ideals that God desires for us.
