In a Divine Mercy Novena booklet I came across this beautiful Creed by Saint Faustina.  As I read it my heart swelled knowing it was meant for me to read.  It’s quite amazing how the power of prayer leads and guides to the exact place you need to be, one that you could not have planned for yourself.  The exact place that has been waiting for you to come all along, but instead you’ve taken a wrong turn and have tried desperately to be the master of your  journey.  When in reality we should be living the life God wants for us.  He is the master of our life and journey.  It so perfectly describes the way in which to guide our life.  I share it with you in hopes that it brings you closer to God in your faith journey.  Closer to a more meaningful and purposeful life.  A life of without God is a life of constant thirst.  Be filled with His authentic peace and love.

Saint Faustina’s Creed

  1. The duty of the moment that I most often fail to obey, I will do my very best to improve.
  2. I will keep silent before others who grumble.
  3. I must take no heed of the opinions of others.
  4. I must do everything and act in all matters now as I would like to do at the hour of my death.
  5. In every action I must be mindful of God.
  6. I must be faithful in my spiritual exercises.
  7. I must have great appreciation for event the most minute task.
  8. I must not let myself become absorbed in the whirl of my work, but take a break to look up to Heaven.
  9. I must speak little with people, but a good deal with God.
  10. I must pay little attention to who is for me and who is against me.
  11. I must not tell others about those things I have had to put with.
  12. I must maintain peace and equanimity during times of suffering.
  13. In difficult moments I must take refuge in the wounds of Jesus; I must seek consolation, comfort, light, and affirmation in them.
  14. In the midst of trials I will try to see the loving hand of God.

Amen.

Peace be with you,
