Dear St. Faustina, I have come to know you as a friend. I ask you to plead to the Lord for me the prayer I ask of you. In times of doubt, dear friend, implore the Lord's Mercy as you did so often here on earth, that I may remember who I am, and to what His mercy has called me.
In times of fear, implore His Mercy that I may ever remember to trust, and trust again, in joy, and in the knowledge that God is preparing me for a beautiful mission.
Please pray dear St. Faustina, that I may never forget that the abyss between my Lord and I has been bridged by His tender mercy. He will continue to be faithful and heal me of anything which stands in the way of His Will. My life is in His Hands.
Thank you dear friend. Pray with me the prayer Our Lord taught you to spread throughout the world; Jesus, I trust in You! Remind all pilgrims of life that if our trust is great, there is no limit to Jesus' generosity.
The Marians of the Immaculate Conception are in the beginning stages of producing a film on the life of Saint Faustina. For more information and a short video about the project click here.
In fact, tolerance, while extolled by the secular world, is not really much of a virtue. For the object of tolerance is always evil. When we say that we tolerate something, we are acknowledging that the thing we tolerate is something evil.
BUMP!
This statement caught my eye. Same could be said about that other secular PC "virtue" of discrimination. Being a discriminate person used to be a virtue, even in the secular world. As in a person on correct discernment. "Why, he's a handsome caught with discriminating tastes!"
Oh well, guess it got lumped into the "social sin" category held among many today.
Yikes!
First post since Easter, must be all the chocolate (or meat). Corrections below.

Why is it that saints often die so young?
