Saint Faustina presented an interesting dilemma as a person. She at once possessed a deep and profound, indeed unshakable belief in the divine, while also possessing an almost entirely antithetical and profound lack of faith and confidence in herself. Since Creator has said time and again that both faith in the divine and faith in oneself as worthy of interacting and petitioning the divine are both necessary for effective and powerful prayer, can Creator share with us what kind of past life history led to Saint Faustina’s exaggerated dilemma?

We cannot engage in an exposé of anyone to recount the origins of their difficulties in a particular lifetime, as it is their own business, the lives they have lived, what they have done and not done. We do so about people in the abstract, without naming names, for the benefit of your channel and his understanding and the learning of others in the workings of karma, and the cause and effect playing out in everyone's life because of prior trauma, both self-inflicted and imposed by others. Suffice it to say that Saint Faustina had many innings from being on a divine path in other lifetimes, as a lightworker, to inspire and uplift and guide others to find their way to the divine and encourage spreading of the doctrine to many others. For this, she was savagely attacked and the hindering of that strong and passionate zeal within her to serve the divine was a disastrous calamity because it made her see herself as a failure. This is a large factor in how she ended up being in the current life you are asking about. In a sense, she was attempting to recapitulate that prior suffering, a time of ordeal and enforced self‑denial, in some cases even of food and water, when imprisoned for doing spiritual work. So that karmic backdrop of personal sacrifice for the sake of the divine, and the assistance of others beyond herself that got her in trouble, was haunting her in her most recent life and perceived deep within her subconscious mind, and led to much anxiety and self-doubt she wrestled with all her life. This is why repairing one's karma through effective divine healing is always necessary. No matter who you are, there are things lurking and looming over you from the past that will come around again as your life proceeds, and become obstacles to your progress and your happiness. There is no other way to deal with such things effectively and, in the absence of divine healing, suffering is inevitable.
