Reflection question: Serving others is a good thing but an ungodly attachment to others or what they think of us keeps us from being fully attached to the Lord. Whose attention do you seek presently that is keeping your attention from being on God? Excerpt from St. Faustina's Diary for today (55): I was sent for treatment to our house in Plock, and there I had the privilege of decorating the chapel with flowers. That was at Biala. 36 Sister Thecla did not always have time for this, so I often decorated the chapel by myself. One day, I had picked the prettiest roses to decorate the room of a certain person. When I was approaching the porch, I saw Jesus standing there. In a kindly way He asked me, My daughter, to whom are you taking these flowers? My silence was my reply to the Lord, because I recognized immediately that I had a very subtle attachment to this person, 37 which I had not noticed before. Suddenly Jesus disappeared. At the same moment I threw the flowers on the ground and went before the Blessed Sacrament, my heart filled with gratitude for the grace of knowing myself. O Divine Sun, in Your rays the soul sees the tiniest specks of dust which displease You.
