Reflection question: Sometimes we think that if we are "good" Catholics that we will find consolation and we will feel good. Often, that is not the case and we find the cross instead. Being Catholic can often feel very lonely but God is always with us. How can you connect more with the Lord in your loneliness? Excerpt from St. Faustina's Diary for today (1259-1260): During this conversation, I came to know his anguished soul. This crucified soul resembles the Savior. Where he expects, with good reason, to find consolation, he finds the cross. He lives among many friends, but has no one but Jesus. This is how God strips the soul He especially loves. Today I heard these words: My daughter, be always like a little child towards those who represent Me, otherwise you will not benefit from the graces I bestow on you through them.
