DWQA Questions › Category: Divinely Inspired MessengersFilter:AllOpenResolvedClosedUnansweredSort byViewsAnswersVotesSaint Faustina Kowalska was the first canonized Catholic Saint of the new millennium. Born in 1905, she died in 1938 at the young age of thirty-three. She felt the first stirrings of desire for a religious vocation at the age of seven. At age eighteen she attended a dance with her sister. She wrote in her diary that at the dance, she had a vision of a suffering Jesus, who she believed asked her: ‘How long shall I put up with you and how long will you keep putting Me off?’ She then went to the Łódź Cathedral, where, as she later said, Jesus instructed her to depart for Warsaw immediately and to enter a convent. Most people simply don’t have Jesus appear to them suddenly, much less tell them to enter a convent and where to go to do that. What is the backstory of her being able to see and communicate with Jesus without apparent effort on her part? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers166 views0 answers0 votesIn the preface to Saint Faustina’s diary, Archbishop Andrew Deskur wrote of asking a well-known contemporary mystic, Sister Speranza what she thought of Sister Faustina’s writings. Sister Speranza said, “The writings contain a wonderful teaching, but reading them one must remember that God speaks to philosophers in the language of philosophers and to simple souls in the language of simple ones, and only to these last does He reveal truths hidden from the wise and prudent of this world.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers139 views0 answers0 votesIn the introduction, Sister Elizabeth Siepak wrote of Saint Faustina, “The austere lifestyle and exhausting fasts that she imposed upon herself even before joining the Congregation, weakened her organism to such an extent that already during her postulantship (her probationary period) it became necessary to send her to a hospital treatment center to restore her health.” This kind of asceticism is common in monastic life and settings. Why is this kind of life widely thought necessary for spiritual advancement and lofty attainments? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers147 views0 answers0 votesSaint 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?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers190 views0 answers0 votesSaint Faustina, as revealed in her diary, clearly believed herself “unworthy” of divine favor while, at the same time, desiring it desperately and with every fiber of her being. Her asceticism, fervent and unrelenting prayer were clearly almost desperate-at-times efforts to reconcile herself to the divine, and meet what she believed were nearly unattainable standards of perfection demanded of anyone seeking divine favor. And even though there was a divine mission planned for her, it seems her dilemma almost required the extreme level of daily divine involvement in her life such that Jesus himself had to try and be her therapist, as no one else, literally, was qualified to help her “get past herself?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers166 views0 answers0 votesSaint Faustina was one of the most risk-averse people anyone can study in detail. There is almost nothing in her life that she did of her own initiative. In fact, she was of the opinion that having ANY initiative of her own was evidence of moral and spiritual failings. She actually believed her lack of initiative was a VIRTUE and celebrated it as such throughout her writings. Saint Faustina wrote in her diary, “I feel I am wholly God’s property, I experience this in a way that can be physically sensed. I am completely at peace about everything, because I know it is the Spouse’s business to look after me. I have forgotten about myself completely.” She further wrote, “I must refer everything to God and, in my own eyes, recognize myself for what I am: utter misery and nothingness.” Also, “O my Jesus, keep me near to You! See how weak I am! I cannot go a step forward by myself; so You, Jesus, must stand by me constantly like a mother by a helpless child – and even more so.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers164 views0 answers0 votesIn her diary, Saint Faustina said that one day, the Lord said to her, “My child, you please Me most by suffering. In your physical as well as your mental sufferings, My daughter, do not seek sympathy from creatures (other people). I want the fragrance of your suffering to be pure and unadulterated. I want you to detach yourself, not only from creatures (people), but also from yourself. My daughter, I want to delight in the love of your heart, a pure love, virginal, unblemished, untarnished. The more you will come to love suffering, My daughter, the purer your love for Me will be.” To be completely honest, this sounds more like an Anunnaki psychic talking than it does Jesus.

We have learned that nothing happens in terms of divine intervention without a human intention. Castor wrote, “Marie Robine, the peasant woman who had received divinely inspired visions at Avignon in the last years of the fourteenth century, had had many revelations concerning the calamities that would affect the kingdom of France. … She had been terrified by a vision of great quantities of armor, fearing that she would be required to put it on and fight, but she had been told it was not for her. Instead, a maid would come after her, who would bear these arms and deliver France from its enemies.” So the life of Joan of Arc was foreseen before she was even born. We know about retrocausal healing, where the prayers said in the future can heal the past. Are mission lives, such as Joan’s, a “retrocausal” intervention, planned and executed in response to desperate prayers said by those grievously suffering in the future? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers159 views0 answers0 votesCastor wrote describing, “… the plight of the whole kingdom. Across great swathes of France, the oppressive and violent reality of armies moving through the countryside, of battles and sieges, pillage and plunder, had left scorched earth, torched homes, and lives and livelihoods destroyed.” These were clearly the conditions that Joan’s mission life was conceived to resolve. Was it the prayers of the common people of France, a deeply religious and Christian nation, that enabled the divine to intervene in the form of Joan “The Maid?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers165 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s was not the only “mission life” on display in these times. The king she was commissioned to support and see coronated, clearly had a mission life to bring France’s suffering to an end. Castor wrote, “The dauphin (heir apparent to the throne of France) – whose daily routine included two or sometimes even three masses, so unstinting was his devotion.” How important were the dauphin’s own prayers in bringing about the divine intervention in the form of Joan “The Maid,” that would see his mission of unifying France and ending the Hundred Years War truly fulfilled in his lifetime?
