Publisher's Summary

Listen to the book that ignited the Divine Mercy movement in the Church! 

The Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul is the book that sparked the Divine Mercy movement. It now has more than 1,000,000 copies sold to date. It is a book for every Catholic's library - one that many will want to keep next to their Bible for constant insight and inspiration. 

The Diary is an amazing narrative that chronicles the experiences of a simple, uneducated Polish nun who received a special call shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Our Lord appeared to her and instructed her to spread the message of his Divine Mercy to all - especially important in our current age, which is full of so much distress and worldliness. 

The message of the Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us all of us. And he wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon him with trust, receive his mercy, and let it flow through us to others. The Diary is truly a vehicle of grace for all who listen to it, for in listening to it one can realize the truth that mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to God's mercy (Diary, 300). 

About the author

Sister Faustina was a young nun living in Cracow, Poland, in the 1930s. Despite having only three years of formal education, she recorded extraordinary revelations from Our Lord, which she compiled in notebooks known today as the best-selling Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. In 1979, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, lead by Father Seraphim Michalenko, were instrumental in bringing it in its rough, typewritten form out of Poland. 

On April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized St. Faustina and called for the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday as the Sunday after Easter.

Great for deep insights into humility

loved the deep dives into humility, although as this is a very large book, a diary, I can seem at times to be repetitive especially when the narration can be repetitive sounding and monotone after a few hours.
But I continued to listen, and intentively listen as this book has been approved by the church and is thus useful and accurate for my spiritual life.

The Mercy of God

This may seem a long book to listen to but its rewards are great and its message profound. It speaks to the Grace of God and his Divine and unquenchable Mercy. A Marcy for all.
