4Real Forums: St. Faustina--Oct. 6

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I found this archived thread here.

We will be honoring this saint a day late at our Little Flowers' meeting this Friday. I think we will read Helen's Special Picture which is a children's story about St. Faustina. Unfortunately, it is oop.

We will color a picture of the Divine Mercy image and then do a simple craft painting a wooden heart and pasting a holy card image of the Divine Mercy to the middle of the heart. Hopefully, the girls will be able to take this home, hang it on their bedroom wall and it will foster a devotion to Jesus and the Divine Mercy!

We will also pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, of course!

Anyody have any special plans for this day?

I have just watched - no, LISTENED to the most beautiful version of singing the Divine Mercy Chaplet on EWTN, it will be shown in a 30min movie in North America this morning (on EWTN)- it is called, Sister Faustina - The Promise of Mercy - this is just so beautiful, I am dearly wanting to know if it is on CD anywhere in the world! I would love to learn to sing it too - we sing both EWTN versions at home but this one is something very special. If anyone does see it can you share your feelings on it? It also has as background music from time to time the same piece of music in the movie, "Master and Commander" in the scene where one of the sailors goes overboard and is lost at sea during a storm and I can never forget that soul stirring music they play at that time - I bawl every time!

Also, here is a beautiful version of the Divine Mercy Picture surrounded by angels in this downloadable cross stitch pattern - it is really lovely - I think it is the same Divine Mercy picture Trademark produces on their notecards - Divine Mercy Cross Stitch

Yes, Jenn, you're right...I'm the confused one..I teach at Little Flowers tomorrow (the 6th) on St. Faustina, so I had that date in my mind. Happy Feast Day to all! St. Faustina, Pray for Us!

Here is the St. Faustina craft we completed yesterday. Please take a look at this post for the materials used in the project.

Even though the Feast has passed, you might want to consider this and the other saints' crafts as an ongoing preparation for All Saints Day on November 1.
