Sister Faustina Kowalska: Her Life and Mission

by Maria Tarnawska, Anne Hargest-Gorzelak (Translator)

In St Maria Faustina Kowalska - her life and mission, biographer Maria Tarnawska gives us a lively, objective, and well-textured portrait of the great Apostle of Divine Mercy. We glimpse St Faustina's deep mystical life as she drew upon the Sacraments and a profound union with the Lord. Of St Faustina's mission to remind the world of Divine Mercy, the reader learns that it remained largely hidden during her lifetime. She was a simple country girl with limited schooling. Yet she had a good deal of innate intelligence, and extraordinary knowledge of human beings, and a deep faith that was crucial for her mission. Only through the saint's diary and personal accounts from those who knew her does a complete portrait emerge of the great Apostle of Divine Mercy.

The author tells the background, explains excerpts from St. Faustina’s diary and quotes priests, Mother Superiors and nuns, who were contemporaries of St. Faustino. You will become aware of her holiness and devotion to the Divine Mercy of our Lord Jesus.

I promise I didn't hate it or anything - just so many books to read that my attention wasn't really kept by this one.

[Jeanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aside from the Diary of St. Faustina, this was one of the BEST books I've read on St. Faustina's life and works. It covers so much more that the diary of her life, her home, her mission, her love and devotion to the Lord,....
