Jesus Says to Us:
"Entrust Everything to Me"

Are you having trouble understanding what you should do in life? Are you easily hurt by others' rudeness or mean talk? Go to Jesus and tell Him everything that burdens your heart. He is listening. Read what He told Sister Faustina. She wrote it in this passage, not for herself but for us.

During Holy Hour today, I asked the Lord Jesus if He would deign to teach me about the spiritual life. Jesus answered me, My daughter, faithfully live up to the words which I speak to you. Do not value any external thing too highly, even if it were to seem very precious to you. Let go of yourself, and abide with Me continually. Entrust everything to Me and do nothing on your own, and you will always have great freedom of spirit. No circumstances or events will ever be able to upset you. Set little store on what people say. Let everyone judge you as they like. Do not make excuses for yourself; it will do you no harm. Give away everything at the first sign of a demand, even if they were the most necessary things. Do not ask for anything without consulting Me. Allow them to take away even what is due you -- respect, your good name -- let your spirit rise above all that. And so, set free from everything, rest close to My Heart, not allowing your peace to be disturbed by anything. My pupil, consider the words which I have spoken to you. (Diary entry 1685)
