"He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God", Diary of St Faustina Kowalska, #390

@RomanCandle: I have read the Diary before, but, please do continue posting entries--it is good for the soul to re-read and reflect on them, again.

"A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else
it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this
purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul
which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall
again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that
it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound
to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through
prayer", The Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska, #146

"I know well that the greater and more beautiful
the work is, the more terrible will be the storms
that rage against it", Diary of St Faustina, #1401

"Silence is a sword in the spiritual struggle. A talkative
soul will never attain sanctity. The sword of silence will
cut off everything that would like to cling to the soul.
A silent soul is strong - no adversities will harm it if
it perseveres in silence. The silent soul is capable
of attaining the closest union with God. It lives
almost always under the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit. God works in a silent soul without
hindrance”, The Diary of St Faustina, #477
