What was St Faustina asked to do?

St Faustina, a Catholic saint, received numerous divine messages and apparitions from Jesus Christ throughout her lifetime. One of the primary objectives assigned to her was to spread God’s merciful love and forgiveness to the world. In this article, we will explore what St Faustina was asked to do and her experiences with the Divine.

Becoming His Apostle

Jesus specifically requested St Faustina to become His Secretary of Mercy, entrusting her with the responsibility to communicate His teachings and reveal the mysteries of His loving merciful Heart. St Faustina was divinely appointed as an Apostle of mercy, mandated to spread this doctrine to every corner of the world (Diary, 872).

Records of Revelations

Jesus’ revelations were recorded in the Diary kept by St Faustina, consisting of almost 700 manuscript pages of divine messages. These diaries contain essential teachings and divine revelations shared by St Faustina, primarily from 1926 until her death in 1938.

Key Revelation

One notable revelation occurs when Jesus spoke to St Faustina, directing her to prepare for The Feast of Mercy, celebrated on Divine Mercy Sunday. Christ imparted instructions on this occasion, making it mandatory to observe Nine Tuesdays of Consecration, a critical aspect of his plan.

Ninteen Condemnable Practices

Additionally, Jesus mentioned the 19 Condemnable Practices that human souls commit and provided St Faustina with the cure – repentance, mercy, and atonement (Diary, 1071-1079).

God’s Promises

When St Faustina encountered doubts or hesitations about her abilities to fulfill Christ’s request, she received reiterations of divine promises from Jesus Himself:

• God will wipe out all trace of tears (Diary, 1409-1416).
• Forgiveness will fill souls (Diary, 1440-1457).
• Souls that call upon my mercy during life will, without the doubt, benefit from their own mercy from my loving Father (Diary, 1512-1536).

Practices

St Faustina implemented various practices, including praying the Rosary, chanting the Jesus Chaplet, and adoration of the Eucharist. This spiritual preparedness allowed her to accept God’s words and remain humble, faithfully executing his assignments.

Faustina’s Obligations

Jesus entrust St Faustina with further duties:

1. Raising Consciousness
   St Faustina received requests to instill and disseminate faith, knowledge, and enthusiasm for mercy (Diary, 1561).
2. Practical Instructions
   He provided direct guidance and prayers for salvation, which became the backbone of Her book, ‘Divine Mercy in My Soul,’ which is later published after her death as ‘Divine Mercy Devotion Guide’.

Prayer Instructions

Jesus implored St Faustina to make the Divine Mercy devotional practices integral to everyone’s spiritual development:

To Jesus’ Divine Mercy Prayer

‘Oh Divine Jesus, Mercy of all of us.’ ‘Remember Your mercy; You must die for man; make my heart united with The Father’s Love’ (Diary, 1050).

Consequently, St Faustina has become St Faustina (May 5, 1917 – October 5, 1938). By fulfilling His assignments and demonstrating unwavering loyalty to God, she played an essential part in perpetuating the Holy Father, God’s promise of extending this devotion universally.

Conclude that in her brief 13 years as His servant, St. Faustina proved willing to consecrate and give herself without hesitation; now, generations worldwide participate in the magnificent, never-before-seen plan and journey of our Lord as her legacy resonates beyond expectation (www.faustyna.it).

St Faustina’s Divine Mercy Diaries, composed between 1931 and 1938, contains revelations she was asked to spread around the world for God, sharing His ultimate goal in 1939:
