Longing for God, Love for God

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Shivaya,

 

Sweta introduced me to Saint Maria Faustina. She was a nun who had a profound

mystical life. She received many communications from Jesus. He told her to keep

a diary which is now in a book called: Divine Mercy In my Soul, in which she

speaks of all of her many amazing experiences with God. she shares her prayers

which remind me of Sufi Mystical poetry, and Love Letters to God.

 

She also had a vision of Jesus with a red and white ray coming from his heart.

He asked her to have a painting made of this vision, which after many years, she

finally did. While looking at this painting, one is said to receive many

blessings of grace and mercy from Jesus.

He also asked her to share with others a group of prayers called the Chaplet of

the Divine Mercy. This is what Sweta so graciously shared with me.

 

You can get a free CD of this prayer along with many other interesting satsangs

Here are a few prayers that can be found in Saint Faustina's Diary:

And a small Prayer book called : Praying with St. Faustina: A Treasury of

Prayers from the Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska.

 

" My heart wants nothing but You alone, O Treasure of my heart. For all the gifts

You give me, thank you O Lord, but I desire only Your Heart. Though the heavens

are immense, they are nothing without You. " (page 24-25) "

 

" Oh great God, I admire Your goodness! You are the Lord of heavenly hosts, and

yet you stoop so low to Your miserable creatures. Oh, how ardently I desire to

love You with every beat of my heart! The whole extent of the earth is not

enough for me, heaven is too small, and boundless space is nothing; you alone

are enough for me, Eternal God! You alone can fill the depths of my soul. " (page

26-27)
