DIARY OF SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA: Divine Mercy in My Soul
NOTEBOOK I
+ One day Jesus told me that He would cause a chastisement to fall upon the most beautiful city in our country [probably Warsaw]. This chastisement would be that with which God had punished S***m and Gomorrah. I saw the great wrath of God and a shudder pierced my heart. I prayed in silence. After a moment, Jesus said to me, "My child, unite yourself closely to Me during the Sacrifice and offer My Blood and My Wounds to My Father in expiation for the sins of that city. Repeat this without interruption throughout the entire Holy Mass. Do this for seven days." On the seventh day I saw Jesus in a bright cloud and began to beg Him to look upon the city and upon our whole country. Jesus looked [down] graciously. When I saw the kindness of Jesus, I began to beg His blessing. Immediately Jesus said, "For your sake I bless the entire country." And He made a big sign of the cross over our country. Seeing the goodness of God, a great joy filled my soul.

REFLECTION
Scripture: But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance. (Psalm 32:11,12)
Prayer: Lord, we give You thanks for the prayers and sacrifices that Saint Faustina offered for her nation, and for Your kindness and goodness You allowed her to visibly see. We give thanks for the joy that entered her soul.
Lord, we too want to pray for our country, and for Your kindness and goodness to be over us. Help us to follow You. May we be among those who follow the path to You, and do not turn aside. May we always strive to live in such a way to be among those who experience Your blessing.
Action: Consider offering a prayer today of God's blessing upon your own nation — as Saint Faustina did.
