holiness; but to be vigilant, as well, not to waste those chances to become holy. But, if he fell,
not lose heart, but to be humble and to trust in His mercy. For it is in God’s terms, in His will,
and amid sufferings or adversities, that a soul is perfected as a Saint. Sr. Faustina wrote in her
Diary:
This firm resolution to become a Saint is extremely pleasing to Me. I bless your
efforts and will give you opportunities to sanctify yourself. Be watchful that you
lose no opportunity that My Providence offers you for sanctification. If you do not
succeed in taking advantage of an opportunity, do not lose your peace, but
humble yourself profoundly before Me and, with great trust, immerse yourself
completely in My mercy. In this way, you gain more than you have lost, because
more favor is granted to a humble soul than the soul itself asks for (Diary, #
1361).
