This is the bestselling complete diary of St. Maria Faustina.

Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, a simple, uneducated, young Polish nun receives a special call. Jesus tells her, "I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My merciful Heart." Jesus also tells her to record His message of mercy in a diary: "You are the secretary of My Mercy. I have chosen you for that office in this and the next life."

These words of Jesus are found in the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, which chronicles Sr. Faustina's great experience of Divine Mercy in her soul and her mission to share that mercy with the world.

Though she died in obscurity in 1938, Sr. Faustina was hailed by Pope John Paul II as "the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time." On April 30, 2000, the Pope canonized her as St. Faustina, saying that the message of Divine Mercy she shared is urgently needed at the dawn of the new millennium. More than 800,000 copies of the Diary have been sold world wide.

In the Diary, this woman mystic's childlike trust, simplicity, and intimacy with Jesus will stir your heart and soul Her spiritual insights will surprise and reward you. "Only love has meaning," she writes. "It raises up our smallest actions into infinity."

How did St. Faustina grow in deeper trust and intimacy with Jesus? What promises did He make to her? Discover the answers to these questions and many more in the Diary of St. Faustina.

This edition includes extensive footnotes and 24 pictures.
Available as Softcover (Item #1003833) or Compact Version (Item #1003834).

Wonderful Book, Read in Small Segments
By Kathy from Cave Creek, AZ on July 13, 2010
Pros: Easy to follow; Good footnotes; Text large enough
Cons: Heavy material; I must read short segment
Best Uses: Really learn the message
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I read this Diary nearly daily, almost as if I were writing it, as the reading is sometimes so profound it is, in my current life state, nearly depressing. Especially the parts where St. Faustina suffers in her own soul so deeply. Would highly recommend this book to anyone who has questions regarding the Divine Mercy Chaplet, its origins, etc.
Sweetness of simplicity
By Lissa from Seattle on July 11, 2010
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I do so much better with the simple things, religion included. This book is full of thoughts and feelings that God directed fill St.Faustina's heart, and down to usin her divinely inspired diary. You can pick it up, read a page or two, and go back to it anytime later. The "gems" of a Merciful God await you in this book.
Fullfilling
By Lopez from San Bruno, Ca on January 7, 2010
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Reading this book is like walking with Jesus
A must read for everyone
By Nancy the Animal Lover from Hamilton, Ohio on January 6, 2010
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This book is an inspiration to grow and develop a closer relationship with Jesus. It is reassuring to know that Sister Faustina struggled with many issues similar to those that are common in our own lives. Hearing the words of Jesus spoken to her creates a warm and loving experience for the reader. It is helpful to read the book for short periods of time. This allows the reader to appreciate the content and apply it to one's own life experiences.

Mercy In My Soul
By Wayne Jr. from Milwaukee, WI on August 6, 2009

This book should be in every Christian household, and read daily. Saint Faustina was an amazing soul, and her intimate account of her communications with our Lord, and Holy Mother will touch your heart. From a hopefull novice carrying sacks of potatoes, to a future Saint, The Diary of Saint Faustina takes you on an intimate journey with a powerful message from our Lord. Divine Mercy.
I would encourage EVERYONE to read this
By Judy, The Sinner from Kennesaw, GA on November 17, 2008
Pros: Durable; Good Value; High Quality
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
There is nothing "not great" about this book except there is not enough time to just sit and read it through from front to back. I started reading it in Adoration and couldn't wait to get back to Adoration to read more. Fabulous life through Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Words cannot explain the joy!
