FROM THE MAILBAG
VIA BHLA2: A THOUGHT ON CONFESSION BY ST.FAUSTINA "No soul shall be justified unless it turns with confidence to My Mercy ...
[Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My Mercy.
They have the right before others to confidence in the abyss of My Mercy ...
Graces are drawn from the fount [Confession] of My Mercy with one vessel only, and that is trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive ... I make Myself dependent upon your trust; if your trust will be great, then My generosity will know no limits ... Sins of distrust wound Me most painfully." (Our Lord to Saint Faustina) "When you go to Confession, know this, that I Myself am waiting for you in the confessional; I am only hidden by the priest, but I Myself act in the soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of Mercy.
Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls draw graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great there is no limit to My generosity."

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 27- "On holy stillness of body and soul"
5. The beginning of stillness is to throw off all noise as disturbing for the depth of the soul. And the end of it is not to fear disturbances but to remain insensible to them. He, who in actually going out does not go out, is gentle and wholly a house of love. He is not easily moved to speech, and he cannot be moved to anger. The opposite of this is obvious.Prayer request?
