Cierpienie a wola Boża u świętej Faustyny Kowalskiej
Suffering and the Will of God in Saint Faustina Kowalska

Summary/Abstract: Her whole 33 years of life was full of difficulties and suffering. Since she was a teenager, all her work on the internal life had been based on the union of her own will with God's will. It has to be obedience without logic and her opinions (see the Acts 28). The Saint declares that God's will is the one and only object of her love.In December 1936 St. Faustina goes to hospital for three months, suffering from tuberculosis. She quickly realized that this is the time not only for the treatment, but intensive "work" to save lost souls. In order to be obedient to Jesus, and to identify with His sacrifice, she unites with Christ on the Cross (see the Acts 923). What is important in this union is the suffering and love together. She clearly gets to experience all kinds of suffering in her new role. She agrees to her new identity with bravery and devotion: My name is “sacrifice” (The Acts 135). When her sacrifice becomes complete, she declares "My name is the Sacramental Bread " (The Acts 485) ,hidden sacrifice.
