St. Faustina


3 Things About St. Faustina:
1)She's my Confirmation Saint. The more I learn about her, the more I love her and want so much to imitate her character of complete abandonment of self.
2)St. Faustina is also known as the Apostle of Mercy. She had visions of Jesus and lesser known visions of Mary. One of her many visions led to the creation of the image of the Divine Mercy. Papa JPII had a lot to do with getting the devotion back into circulation, after a period of distrust in Sister Faustina and her visions, as many thought they were false.
3)Her diary has inspired millions. But she didn't want to write the diary. Her confessor had her begin to write the diary so as to have an accurate account of the visions she was having to discern whether they were truly divine. If I remember correctly, he also had her specifically denote which of the words came from Jesus.
