pg 419, St. Faustina says,"How can one be pleasing to God when one is inflated with pride and self-love under the pretense of striving for God's glory, while in fact one is seeking one's own glory

Wow! 
Makes one stop and think about true motives. It is so scary for me when I stop and think about why I do some of the things I do. This is why I depend on the Mercy of God!

This made me question my motives too. One can lose peace over such thoughts. I follow the advice of Mother Angelica and St Louis de Montfort. Both in their own way say to let Our Lady sort out all the things that I do so imperfectly. It is only that and my faith in the Divine Mercy that I have any peace at all. I mess everything up myself and often times have to wonder (in retrospect of course) if I was thinking about God at all, or just blindly letting my feelings guide me again. I long to hear the Lord say "Well Done!" one day. But I think the best I'll be able to get is "Come in anyhow, I forgive you."
Lord help us all who struggle on the Way to You.
