St. Faustina

St. Faustina born in Poland in 1905. At about the age of twenty, she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy who kind of specialized in helping out and educating of "troubled young women".
Later he recieved a message from the Lord that she was to become the apostle and secretary of His mercy. Also, a model of how to be merciful to others. Her whole life should be lived for others and she was to encourage others to trust in Him.
Her strong devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation enabled her to bear all her sufferings as an OFFERING to God for the Church and those in special need.

ok the above info was all from http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=510
i admit some of it is copy and paste =/

As for me living it out and what I've learned from it:
1) I've always hear you should offer up your sufferings for others. But I always thought "Sufferings? Me?.. aren't those like.. really really big sufferings like deaths and sicknesses or Stigmata...I've never had any real SUFFERING"
~So I was wondering how I'll live out this amazing woman's life when I realized that even the things I don't like doing, things that really make me FEEL like I'm suffering (relatively [is that the right word?]) might be good enough ex: Studying
haha so before I started I offered up my unpleasant study period for all students who have a hard time studying and focusing in general, those that say "oh the what the heck" and go party instead. I use this idea in different things like when I got angry or felt impatient. It helped me calm down too ^ -^
hey man, I tried... lol
2) What a good project this is. It was always in my mind that I should be like this so it made me be more conscious of the way I live my life. From when I wrote my first post to now I've almost constantly been thinking about God's Mercy and how I should live my life for others =)

yayy! that's all for today! tomorrow I believe is St. Bruno (the hermit) O_O lol.. we'll see how that goes.. haha
