DIARY OF SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA: Divine Mercy in My Soul
NOTEBOOK I
+ All these things could still be endured. But when the Lord demanded that I should paint that picture, they began to speak openly about me and to regard me as a hysteric and a fantasist, and the rumors began to grow louder. One of the sisters came to talk to me in private. She began by pitying me and said, “I’ve heard them say that you are a fantasist, Sister, and that you’ve been having visions. My poor Sister, defend yourself in this matter.” She was a sincere soul, and she told me sincerely what she had heard. But I had to listen to such things every day. God only knows how tiring it was.

REFLECTION
Scripture: O God, do not be silent toward my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me. They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, and they fought against me over nothing. Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer. (Psalm 108:2-4)
Prayer: Lord. if we come into a situation where people are speaking ill of us, may we turn to the example of Saint Faustina and may we meditate on Your word. Even though the sisters were speaking about her and to her negatively for following Your will in painting the Divine Mercy, she did not retaliate.
The words of Psalm 108 teach us to give ourselves to prayer at such times.
Help us when we are in such times to turn to You and to try, with all of our hearts, to continue to follow what You ask of us.
Action: Think of one situation where you may feel others are thinking or speaking unkindly about you. Turn this situation over to God in prayer.
