Summary/Abstract: Sister Faustyna Helena Kowalska (1905–1938) is one of the greatest mystics of the twentieth century. Her texts recorded in the Diary and Letters are testimony to inner life and mystical experiences. The Secretary of Divine Mercy gave clear criteria for discerning of spirits and dealing with Satan – the opponent of human salvation. The Saint presented the need and depth of the sacrament of penance and reconciliation, which is also the most effective remedy for the destructive power of the evil spirit. She saw the extraordinary action of the Holy Trinity in this sacrament, which was for her a natural and true reality she was experiencing in all her life.
