Father Ed Broom continues with reflections on St. Faustina’s Diary starting with #5… Father Broom points out that after the Bible, the Diary of St. Faustina is perhaps the greatest Spiritual Masterpiece in the history of the world. In this Year of Mercy it is important to go deeper into this gold mine of spirituality. The deeper you dig, the more precious jewels you can find. If you have difficulty in prayer, this book very spontaneously leads you to a deeper prayer life!

Lucifer was an angel in heaven who said “No” to God, “Non Serviam”–I will not serve! Lucifer, and the angels who followed him, were cast out of heaven into hell. We know him as the Devil. In the Garden of Eden, the Devil appeared as a serpent and tempted Eve to say “No” to God, to disobey God’s one and only command: God forbade them to eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the Garden. Eve ate the fruit and then gave the fruit to Adam who also ate it. Like the fallen angels, they chose to say “No” to God and the gates of Heaven were closed to them and all their children.

Jesus came as our Savior! Until the end of time the Devil is wrestling Jesus for our souls: the devil tempting us to sin and Jesus calling us to repent and receive His merciful forgiveness. The choice is ours! God doesn’t send anyone to hell! We send ourselves by the choices we make!
