From the Diary of St. Faustina…
| A Vision of the Mother of God. In the midst of a great brilliance, I saw the Mother of God clothed in a white gown, girt about with a golden cincture; and there were tiny stars, also of gold, over the whole garment, and chevron-shaped sleeves lined with gold. Her cloak was sky blue, lightly thrown over the shoulders. A transparent veil was delicately drawn over her head, while her flowing hair was set off beautifully by a golden crown that terminated in little crosses. On her left arm she held the Child Jesus. A Blessed Mother of this type I had not yet seen. Then she looked at me kindly and said; “I am the Mother of God of Priests.” At that she lowered Jesus from her arm to the ground, raised her right hand heavenward and said: “O God, bless Poland, bless priests.” Then she addressed me once again: “Tell the priests what you have seen.” I resolved that at the first opportunity (I would have) of seeing Father (Andrasz) I would tell; but I myself can make nothing of this vision. (Diary 1585) My Response: Father in heaven, bless all priests and those discerning a vocation to priesthood. Grant them the grace to be guided by our most beautiful, heavenly mother, Mary. |
