The Greatest Miracles

Where do the greatest miracles take place? Our Lord’s words from the Diary of Saint Faustina: “In the tribunal of mercy [the Sacrament of Reconciliation]... the greatest miracles take place and are  incessantly repeated” (Diary 1448).  I would have never thought it would be in the confessional, but that’s what Our Lord told Saint Faustina.

You would think our Lord would better equip his apostles in their journey. What leader in his right mind would send his troops into the battlefield so poorly prepared? Would it not been better if He would’ve supplied them with plenty of food and plenty money for their journey? Our Lord’s command seems impractical and irresponsible. This is why we should pay close attention to it. Where human wisdom fails, divine wisdom is at wor
