Saint Faustina was born on 25 August 1905 in Lodz, Poland. Faustina, baptized as Helena, was one of ten children from a poor family. By the time she was 18, she knew that God was calling her to a life of service to Christ. But because her parents were against her, she gave up on him. But God heard her. Thus she became a member of the Congregation ‘Sisters of Mercy Mother’. He enriched the holy life which made his life a fruit of prayer and mercy.
The Lord Jesus gave some guidance to His Holiness during the three days of meditation on June 2, 1938, exactly four months before His death. Faustina Kowalska recorded in her diary the hard work that she received. It is a great pamphlet that describes prayer and the mercy of God.
Below are the weapons that Jesus whispered in the ears of His beloved Young Bride to protect Him from the devil’s attacks. Those instructions were an important weapon of Saint Faustina in his fight against the devil.
1) Never rely on yourself, but surrender yourself completely to my will.
This is a spiritual weapon. St. Paul says that faithfulness is a part of faith. Loyalty is God’s armor. Committing yourself to the will of God is an act of loyalty. Faith expels evil spirits.
2) Consult with your spiritual teacher, trusting in me in despair, darkness, and various forms of confusion. He will answer your questions in my name.
The Devil’s greatest fear in this world is the marvelous name of Jesus. In cases of spiritual conflict, pray to Jesus immediately. Openly confess this in the sacrament of confession. Open it up to the spiritual teacher and follow their directions; So turn the darkness into light.
3) no compromise with temptation; Be safe in my heart as soon as you are tempted.
In the Garden of Eden, Howe lost her self with the devil. It is imperative that we seek refuge in Jesus’ heart. By joining Jesus we are turning away from the temptations of Satanic powers.
4) Open it to your confessor at the very first moment of temptation.
A good confession helps us to be victorious over Satan’s temptations and temptations.
5) Put the self-love back to you. May love never be a hindrance to your work.
It is common for us to feel an excessive love for ourselves. But this can lead to selfishness and pride. Satan will tempt us with wrong selfishness and lead us into his proud pool. Realize that modesty can defeat pride.
6) Wear the shield of patience, ‘
patience, the secret weapon that will help us spiritual peace facing crisis situations in life. Wearing armor that is forgiving is part of loyalty and modesty. The Devil tempts us to become impatient and angry. God is infinitely patient. So look at us from God’s point of view.
7) Do not ignore internal suffering.
It is only through prayer and fasting that we can get rid of certain demons. Internal suffering, that is, suffering, is an important weapon in spiritual warfare. Sacrifice has the power to eliminate the devil.
8) Always follow the advice of your superiors and confessor.
Jesus was talking to Saint Faustina, who lived in a Virgin Mary. But we have someone who has authority over us. The devil wants to divide us and our superiors. Therefore, being humble and obedient to superiors is a powerful spiritual weapon.
9) Bullying is similar to the plague, so avoid scandal.
Improper use of our tongue can cause great harm. Blasphemy is not at all divine. It is Satan’s job to mix up false accusations that can damage one’s reputation. So avoid unnecessary talk.
10) Let others do what they please; You act the way I want to.
Focusing on one’s own spirituality is very important in spiritual struggles. Satan is tirelessly trying to destroy everyone. Always be interested in pleasing God instead of looking to others.
11) Stay loyal to the laws of your ability.
Jesus is referring to the rules of the monastery. There are many promises in our life, including marriage promises and baptism, that are to be kept faithfully before God. Satan will tempt us to be disloyal, disobedient, and disobedient. Sincerity is a great weapon for success. So be righteous before God.
12) If you are being hurt by someone, think about what can be done for them
Becoming an instrument of God’s mercy is a weapon to defeat evil and to do good. The temptations of Satan are hatred, hatred, revenge, and inertia. On many occasions, others have hurt us. Instead of taking revenge on them, think about what we can do for them. That would be a great blessing, sure.
13) Don’t let your thoughts flow.
A person who speaks too much is easily susceptible to Satan’s attacks. Thoughts are fleeting. Remember that what you say out loud is listening to the forces of good and evil. Pour your thoughts to God alone. Internal meditations are a spiritual shield.
14) Be silent when faced with objections.
At times, we are exposed to outrage. Although we have no control over them, we can control our responses. God knows what is true. Silence is protection. Don’t listen to the objections.
15) Don’t seek everyone’s opinion, only your confessor; As a child, the simplicity of
life would make the devil flee. Honesty is a tool to defeat the liar. When we lie, we are taking one step closer to Satan’s tent. And Satan will lead us all the way to sin.
16) nirulsahappetatirikkuka nandiketil
it’s frustrating for us when we encountered disbelief from them any good to have. In fact, it catches our soul. It is one of the most effective temptations of the devil. Always thank God for recognizing that God is the source of all goodness and making us an instrument of His good works. That can make every day a joy.
17) Don’t be anxious about the ways I lead you.
It is a temptation of the devil to get us to the witches, eager to know the future. Try to move your life forward in deep faith. Choose to believe in God, who leads us to heaven. Always resist anxiety by faith in Christ.
18) When you are tired and discouraged, seek refuge in my heart,
Jesus gives the same message a second time. But now Jesus is referring to tiredness. It was previously reported in the diary that he had told Faustina that the devil could easily hunt the lazy spirits. Be cautious against fatigue. Depression and drowsiness is the devil that dominates us. So lazy people easily become victims of Satan. To overcome this, be more involved in the things of God.
19) Never fear suffering; The courage to rely on God frightens Satan.
Fear is the second of the devil’s common weapons. (The first one is arrogant). Our courage in relying on God frightens Satan. Satan is running away from the firm faith in Jesus Christ and the courage that emerges. Know that God is our way. Have confidence in Christ and take courage.
20) Always fight with the firm conviction that ‘I am with you’.
Jesus proposes to fight a nun in a monastery with determination. She was able to fight because Jesus was with her. Christians are called to fight against Satan’s every form of evil. The devil is constantly trying to intimidate us. Resist the devil’s attacks with the firm conviction that God is always with us through Christ. Call on the Holy Spirit all day long.
21) You should never be driven by your thoughts because it is not always under your control; But all the qualifications rest in our will.
We must never be guided by our thoughts because external forces can often control our thoughts. All credentials reside in our will. Because an act of love stems from the will. We are completely free in Jesus. We have to make a choice, a choice about good and evil.
22) Always obey your superiors; Be submissive to them even in small matters
Jesus commands a saint here, but the Lord is over all of us. Trusting in God and keeping His commandments is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Because we can never win this war alone. It is most blessed to proclaim Christ’s victory over evil. Jesus has come to conquer death and evil. Declare your faith in Him.
23) I will not let you down with promises of peace and comfort; On the contrary, prepare for the great battles.
Saint Faustina has suffered a lot, both physically and spiritually. With God’s help, she prepared for war against Satan. Christ has clearly told us in the Holy Scriptures: “Prepare for war.” Defeat Satan by wearing God’s armor. Always be vigilant and discerning.
24) Always remember that you are in a great place where heaven and earth are watching you
We all live in a big venue. In a big stage where the whole heaven and earth is watching us. What message does our life have? What is radiating from us to others? Do we attract more light or darkness according to our way of life?
25) Fight like a warrior. I will pay you back. Don’t be scared by anything.
The Lord’s words to Saint Faustina are invaluable spells for us: fight like a warrior. A warrior fighting for Christ knows exactly why he is fighting.
If a young, uneducated Polish humble nun could unite with Jesus and fight like a warrior, then all Christians can. Trust is the key to success. We know that the spiritual weapons that the Lord gave to Saint Faustina are the weapons He has given to every Christian. We can wear these weapons to fight the vicious attacks we face in this world.
