Repentance
Self knowledge is a gift that opens door to repentance and mercy.
St. Faustina, Diary 852
Today the Lord's gaze shot through me suddenly, like lightning. At once, I
came to know the tiniest specks in my soul, and knowing the depths of my
misery, I fell to my knees and begged the Lord's pardon, and with great
trust, I immersed myself in His infinite mercy. Such knowledge does not
depress me nor keep me away from the Lord, but rather it arouses in my soul
greater love and boundless trust. The repentance of my heart is linked to
love. These extraordinary flashes from the Lord educate my soul. O sweet
rays of God, enlighten me to the most secret depth, for I want to arrive at
the greatest possible purity of heart and soul.
