Discovering the Diary — The Simplicity of Christmas

Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary and you’ll find spiritual gems. Like this one:

St. Faustina wrote:

When I started the Holy Hour, I wanted to immerse myself in the agony of Jesus in the Garden of Olives. Then I heard a voice in my soul: Meditate on the mystery of the Incarnation. And suddenly the Infant Jesus appeared before me, radiant with beauty. He told me how much God is pleased with simplicity in a soul. Although My greatness is beyond understanding, I commune only with those who are little. I demand of you a childlike spirit. (Diary, 332)
