Day 84 with St. Faustina's Diary

Today's readings are from Notebook 1, numbers 342-345. 

Sister Faustina thanks God today for the many sufferings in her life. Her list is actually incredible and would baffle so many in the world today. "She's thanking God for being humiliated, treated rudely, and having spiritual dryness?" Too often we don't understand how suffering shows true love. But...just think about how Christ on the Cross makes you feel, or thinking of fallen service members, or emergency workers that have given their lives to serve others. Their love moves us to tears because in their suffering, we understand what they gave up for us.
