“Faustina, the Warrior: Winning Spiritual Warfare” Part 1 - Sr. Gaudia Skass, OLM | January 22, 2020

This month's Evening with the Merciful Jesus was recorded at the Shrine. Please tune in at 7:00 p.m. on our Facebook page ( / li.. ) or KZbin Channel ( • "Trust" - Fr. Gabriel ... ).
Sr. Gaudia Skass, OLM speaks about the spiritual warfare in which all Christians are engaged, whether they know it or not. If our life’s goal is heaven and we want to help others to get there, then there will be a lot of fighting on the way. St. Faustina described many of her battles in her diary. She left us an amazing source of inspiration about how to win. In this talk Sr. Gaudia discusses this crucial topic of spiritual warfare for our lives in reference to the life of Jesus himself as well as Saint Faustina’s life and her writings.
Sr. Gaudia focuses in part one of her talk on the “first war zone”, so to say: fighting for others, for the salvation of souls. In the second part of her talk she emphases the “second war zone”: the battles within our own soul, the direct process of purification and sanctification. She shares the strategies on how to win all kinds of battles. Here is the link to that talk: • “Faustina, the Warrior...

When you see the temptation- TURN YOUR FACE and WALK AWAY. Solid & most simple advice to avoid sin!

[@gardenladyjimenez1257]

Your talk adds to recent messages pointing to the power of prayer. My personal sin/failing has been to tell myself, "I don't have time to pray...today...I have too much to do. Maybe I can pray...tomorrow." You are revealing my self-importance with such gentleness, but with great force. It will help me to turn to prayer as my first commitment. God bless you!

@@ChrisOakesCO We follow the magisterium of the Catholic Church - the teaching authority of the church which correctly interprets the word of God, this is composed of the Pope and his 5,000 bishops(all PhD in Theology and Psychology) and 400,000 priest - in this way we don't need to have hundreds of opinions on the bible - a priest will need 8 years of formal education on theology and philosophy just to get ordained - combined and backed up by years of education and experience, and a 2000 year history, they have a lot more qualification to teach than a bible preacher or you - and further more - they have not change their teachings on the sanctity of life and marriage as Christ has taught - unlike all other churches that has surrendered their faith to the secular world

Chris Oakes “Protest”ants / always trying to make it “easy” to get to Heaven just by memorizing Scriptures

[@MrPanchoak]

This dear lady represents one of the Reasons i abandoned the protestants.

[@merynco]

MrPanchoak Welcome ❤️🎉🙌

[@77thTrombone]

Just wondering: why?

[@MrPanchoak]

There were a lot of reasons. Not only one. These are but a very few. False accusations leveled against the Catholics. Such as; they dont know scripture, they worship saints, the Pope is the antichrist(i was born and raised Seventh day Adventist) None of these things are true, yet the indictment is to this day leveled against them. Its alright with me to disagree. I get that. But the vitriol is indicative of something far deeper than simple disagreement. Scripture simply doesnt work outside the Church. If all scripture is useful, and valid, what are we to do with certain passages? Throw them out? If we dont reject those passages, we have to reject the entirety of scripture. Im not ready to do that. As for myself, id rather trust this blessed lady, than to trust the theological sophistry of the likes of Calvin and Luther. They studied scripture brilliantly. Yet by their friuts i know them as wolves among the flock. They did not actually know God. This dear lady clearly does know him.

This is outstanding! "all our familiars wait for our halting"... We are ALL in the battle of life, there is NO ESCAPE FROM IT. The only thing that matters is, is the friends we pick in the battle. Familiar Spirits that beat us up and halt us in the battle, or the friends of The Father! I thought this was good enough to pass on! Fix our eyes on Jesus, lest we sink instead of walking on the water, the waters, the familiar’s that beat us up…. Includes me too!

[@brotherdom1]

The our Father if understood and prayed slowly each day leads away from evil and makes us willing to do GOD'S will.I, a sinner and so too i must believe in HIS mercy .I had a profound spiritual experience in 1987 ,One that left me in no doubt of GOD and his mercy .St faustina was a true soldier who suffered for her army of souls .

[@josephc.2617]

I started appreciating the Bible a lot more thanks to Saint Faustina's diary. Jesus communicated with her constantly. I never heard Jesus' words, advices, and desires were relayed to any saint to the extent He did with Saint Faustina. His messages are to all of us! Make time to read her diary. You learn a lot about God! His teaching is extraordinary to say the least. As I was a sinner and consequently as I applied few of his teachings in my life, I can feel His presence in my soul and am no longer afraid of my past. Unimaginable peace reigns in the heart who embraces Him. He truly forgives all your debts. This is what I experienced. I encourage you to take a spiritual dive. You will be amazed!

Sometime in the 60s, with women's liberation, there developed the conclusion that female vocations were worthless. Perhaps they had been taken for granted.... In any case, I think the Sisters of OLM are in the vanguard of the restoration of female vocations.

I am also praying for the souls of my two rfiends Alba Figueroa and Nidia Pineda. I ask to our Merciful Father in Heaven to forgive their sins so their souls can rest in peace in Heaven and glorify our Father Lord God and Jesus Christ. I am also praying for the conversion of my family and friends....especially my daughter, my son, my husband may God use them for his kingdom. Thank you so much for the beautiful message.

Sisters of the order of st Faustina. I have been ignoring hour holy mother and have not been praying and evil has been blocking me for a very long time. I’m not going to let my sins rob me of the light of god. It’s 5.30am in the morning I got down on my knees and prayed the rosary and I will continue to do so every day until I die. I’m filled with peace and I can already feel all my troubles my anxiety and my unworthiness melting away. I’m truly thankful for the order of st Faustina you have given back to me what was wonce lost but now iam found. I rejoice n the power of pray to hour holy mother and I rejoice in the order of sister Faustina. Happy new year 2024 sisters god bless you all you have opened my eyes and filled my hart with the word of god.🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️

He will. I try to teach my daughter about how so many things in the world, even in the benign grocery store, are meant to catch consumers up in the pitfalls of worldliness. Women in particular are susceptible to this, with their natural inclination to cosmetics. (In the interest of equal victimization, tho, the cosmetics companies are making inroads to men's psyches, too.) Start with contentment & confidence, trust in Him, and your inner beauty will show through.
