When Saint Faustina was given instructions from Jesus to have her vision of him painted as a portrait for souls to approach and receive graces and inspiration from, she was further instructed to include the words, “Jesus I trust in you.” Does this suggest that the issue of “trust in the divine,” and the widespread lack thereof, is perhaps the elephant in the room? Is this indeed a significant problem for the bulk of humanity? What percentage of the population would you say have “significant trust issues” with God and anything associated with the divine? As trust is often hard-won, but easily lost, is this why so much emphasis is placed on it?

It is clearly a divine project to restore trust in the divine. The numerous paintings resulting from the description of Jesus, that Saint Faustina wrote down in her diary, are today venerated throughout the Catholic Church. But recently, in just the last seven years, the young visionary artist Akiane painted a photo-realistic image of Jesus she aptly entitled “Jesus.” The image is remarkable on a multitude of levels. It displays great kindness, and gentleness, but also profound strength and self confidence. Jesus is looking off into the distance with a look of respect, recognition, anticipation, expectation, and reverence. But it truly connotes that whoever Jesus himself is looking at possesses the same qualities he does in even greater measure. That while Jesus is looking up, it is not out of fear of something mightier, but rather more like recognizing the approach of a beloved mentor who is simultaneously your best friend, partner, and confidant. The irresistible impulse for anyone viewing this masterpiece is to not want to stare at Jesus as much as turn our own heads and try to look at what he is looking at. Is it indeed TRUST in the divine that is the inspiration behind this masterpiece?

Saint Faustina wrote that Jesus said to her, “In convents too, there are souls that fill my Heart with joy. They bear my features; therefore the Heavenly Father looks upon them with special pleasure. They will be a marvel to Angels and men. Their number is very small. They are a defense for the world before the justice of the Heavenly Father and a means of obtaining mercy for the world. The love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the world in existence.” Are these the words of Jesus or an Anunnaki psychic? Are convents sustaining the world? What can Creator tell us?

The fact we have learned that Saint Faustina heard both the words of Jesus, and those of interlopers, creates a difficult dilemma for anyone wanting to use her diary for inspiration. Perhaps the best advice for us is the same advice her confessor, Father Jozef Andrasz, gave to her early in her vocation, “If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the best means by which we can obtain divine assistance to know what is truly divine in origin, and what is not, as well as obtain the confidence and trust needed to do this consistently?

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?

Saint Faustina wrote, “A general principle. It would be a very ugly thing for a religious to seek relief from suffering.” What is Creator’s perspective?

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?

Joan wrote to the English, “You will never hold the kingdom of France from God, the king of heaven, holy Mary’s son; but King Charles will hold it, the true heir, because God, the king of heaven, wishes it.” But is this literally true? Creator has told us time and again that this is humanity’s world, and that no divine intervention can happen without human intention for it to be so. So can Creator explain how and even if Joan’s common notion of “God’s will” can be understood in the context of Creator’s modern teachings that humans really are in charge here?
