"O my God,
When I look into the future, I am frightened. But why plunge into the future?
Only the present moment is precious to me, as the future may never enter my soul at all.
It is no longer in my power to change, correct, or add to the past; for neither sages nor prophets could do that. And so what the past has embraced I must entrust to God.
O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire. I desire to use you as best I can. And although I am weak and small, You grant me the grace of Your omnipotence. And so, trusting in Your mercy, I walk through life like a little child, offering You each day this heart burning with love for Your greater glory."
~St. Faustina
Wow, this is so beautiful. Saint Faustina is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't she? Her diaries are full of such total trust and love.
DeleteWhat a great reminder. St. Faustina is one of my favorites. These are such powerful words; "Jesus, I trust in you", eh? Keep having this total trusting faith, Melvina. <3
ReplyDeleteYes! I have found that I have to renew that trust daily... It's no small wonder that St. John Paul II loved the Divine Mercy so much. God bless, lovely! <3
