Guided by Compassion

July 1937, Saint Faustina wrote in her diary about how we should treat those who hurt us or are our enemies, and why we should always take the higher road -- no matter what the cost to us. Follow Jesus's examples of Goodness, Mercy and Kindness, every day. The best way is to pray to the Most Holy Spirit and the Mother of God for help.


Fruit of the meditation.

Whatever Jesus did, He did well. He went along, doing good. His manner was full of goodness and mercy. His steps were guided by compassion. Toward His enemies He showed goodness, kindness, and understanding, and to those in need help and consolation.

I have resolved to mirror faithfully these traits of Jesus in myself during this month, even if this costs me much. (Diary entry 1175)
