Those who cause us to suffer

Post by Denise » Fri May 16, 2014 10:59 am

...I saw Jesus stretched out upon the Cross, and He said to me, My pupil, have great love for those who cause you suffering. Do good to those who hate you.
I answered, " O my Master, You see very well
that I feel no love for them, and that troubles me."
Jesus answered, It is not always within your power
to control your feelings. You will recognize that you have love if, after you have experienced annoyance and contradiction, you do not lose your peace, but pray for those who have made you suffer and wish them well. (1628)

Words of Jesus to St. Faustina
from Divine Mercy in My Soul
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
