Saint 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?

In 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?

In 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?

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?

Saint 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?

Saint 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?

In 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. What can Creator tell us?

Monastic life seems to require that great hardships be intentionally undertaken and embraced to make oneself worthy of divine communion. Can Creator share how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol offer an alternative path to achieving the same ends?

A woman wanted to send me some documents she says describes: “There are babies, children that are being kept in U.S. Military Sites that are being used to give their blood to others, tortured, abused, detained, and more.” Is she safe and helpful to interact with? Is the information she wants to convey true and accurately described? What are the best ways to handle this?

A news report says that five rented vehicles used by the Secret Service during President Biden’s visit to Nantucket during the Thanksgiving holiday caught fire and were destroyed. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, a Ford Explorer, an Infiniti QX80, a Ford Expedition and a Jeep Gladiator. So that rules out a common manufacturing defect being a fire hazard. It is bizarre in a number of other respects, such as how it spread from car to car, and only these five, not others parked there. The front ends, and engine compartments of the vehicles appear to have melted, which seems unlikely to happen from burning gasoline alone. It is reminiscent of the many toasted cars in Manhattan that burned on 9/11 even though they were not near the twin towers that collapsed. What caused these rental cars to burn?

A cable television show was discussing the statistic that in Canada, one out of every 30 deaths in 2021 was an assisted suicide, as that is legal, and done by various healthcare providers. The discussion expressed concern that there is advocacy by the system to encourage people to take that route, like veterans with PTSD and others who are unhappy but not facing an imminent painful death. What is the divine perspective of this and why it is promoted?
