St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
"From today on, my own will
does not exist…From today on, I do the will of God everywhere, always and in everything."
"...who could have ever imagined that the voice of a man, which by nature hath not the power even to raise a straw from the ground, should obtain through grace a power so stupendous to bring from Heaven to earth the Son of God! It is a greater power than that which would be required to change the place of mountains, to dry up the seas, and to turn around the heavens; it even emulates in a certain manner that first 'fiat' with which God brought all things out of nothing..."
Father Benedict Baur
"Recognize in yourself a limb, a branch of Christ (the body, the vine) living, grafted-on and ingrowing, nourished by His strength and grace."
(From Diary of St. Maria Faustina)
