Day 357 with St. Faustina's Diary

I wanted to let you know that my main podcast now is called "Journeying with the Saints." I found that I needed to condense my podcasts into one and not make a new podcast with each new saint reading. I'd encourage you to go find "Journeying with the Saints" wherever you listen to podcasts. Season One is St. Faustina's Diary, Season Two which we are about to finish up is reading through Venerable Fulton Sheen's book, "Way to Inner Peace," and Season Three is going to be starting soon. In Season Three we will be reading St. Teresa of Avila's book, "The Interior Castle."

Today is the conclusion of our year together. I felt it was fitting to end this year by praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. So, grab your rosary and let's send this amazing year off by praying the beautiful chaplet of mercy taught to us through this diary.  St. Faustina, pray for us!

Today's final readings are numbers 1825-1828. CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING THE DIARY! What a day! Thank you, God, for the gift of a wonderful year together reading Sister Faustina's Diary.  We have one more day left in the year and I hope you'll come back tomorrow to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with me. 

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1822-1824. Only a few more days left, Catholic Pilgrims.  Again, today will be another short day. We are just letting Sister Faustina's words soak into us. 

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1817-1821. Just like the past couple of days, this is going to be a super short day. We will have just a few readings, but again, I invite you to just soak in Sister Faustina's words on Holy Communion. 

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1812-1816. Just like yesterday, let's just enjoy this special time with Sister Faustina as she talks about our most perfect Sacrament--Holy Communion. 

Today's readings will be from Notebook 6, numbers 1808-1811. After today, only five days left.  Much like yesterday, we will just have a short reading and let Sister Faustina teach us in these last few days together. 

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1804-1807. Here at the very end of the diary is a short little section on Sister Faustina's preparation for Holy Communion. This is going to take us through the end of our year together. As I was reading through it today, I felt that we just need to spend this time with Sister Faustina. We don't need any words from me. Our readings will be short and I invite you to sit back and enjoy. 

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1797-1803. We did it, Catholic Pilgrims. We have finished Notebook 6 and the meat of the diary. Let's just take some time today and relish in what we've accomplished.  Don't forget, though, that we have seven days still left together and a little bit more read from an additional little section on preparing for Holy Communion. So, don't think we are completely finished yet!

Today's readings are from Notebook 6, numbers 1791-1796. In the Catholic Church, we have seven Sacraments. But...we also have sacramentals. These are blessings, consecrations, or exorcisms. They are used to center our lives on Christ. We will use this time to talk about sacramentals and how we are to use them, as Sister Faustina talks about centering our lives on God.
