Faustina, Faustyna
I thought I might wait until after 3 today to write and say Happy Feast Day Saint Faustina! There is lots I wish to write, but I think I had better keep these things inside. Instead I will present a few images to ponder on…
The church of St. Joseph is the resting place of Saint Faustina Kowalska and hold the painting of Jesus as the Lord of Divine Mercy. His instructions to Trust in His Infinite Mercy are a most glorious consolation to all souls. Though I have never been to Poland (YET!) I know that this old chapel now stands aside the giant Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy which is quite contemporary in its style. I really like looking at photographs of the altar though. It is quite contemporary but I love the sculpted tree branches that remind me of flames in the wind.
Apparently there is also a small side chapel for Eucharistic Adoration and the monstrance and Jesus look so lovely. I will send my heart there today since I can not be there in person…
The pictures are lovely, and I got a very pleasant surprise when I clicked on the Faustina Report in the side bar. It’s a gem.

Thanks, Aeternus, for a lovely post. I hope you can make a pilgrimage to Poland someday (I’ve never been either).
