The Luminous Mysteries - Meditations from the Diary of St. Faustina

The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan

I came to know more clearly the three Divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet, Their essence, equality, and majesty are one. My soul communes with these Three. Whoever is united with one of these Three Persons is thereby united with the entire Holy Trinity.(Diary, 472)

The Wedding at Cana

Jesus said to me: My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I asked: Jesus, tell me what it is, and I will give it to You immediately with a generous heart.
Jesus said: Daughter, give Me your misery, for it is your exclusive property. At that moment, a ray of light enlightened my soul.(Diary, 1318)

The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

Whether it is holiness or a fall, it is reflected in the whole Church for every single soul. I came to know what a great influence I exert on other souls – not through some heroic deeds, for those are striking in themselves, but through things as small as a movement of the hand, a glance…(Diary, 1475)

The Transfiguration

I saw the Holy Host above me in great brightness. Then I heard a voice: In it is your strength, it will defend you. A wondrous power entered my soul, along with a strange light showing what our love for God consists in: and that is doing the will of God.(Diary, 616)

The Institution of the Eucharist

Oh, how much it hurts Me that souls so seldom unite themselves with Me in Holy Communion. I love them so tenderly and sincerely, and they do not trust Me. I want to shower them with graces – they do not want to accept them. They treat Me as something lifeless, and yet I have a Heart full of love and mercy.(Diary, 1447)
