ForHimAlone Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 O virgin, lovely flower, You will not remain much longer in this world. Oh, how beautiful your loveliness, My pure bride! No numbers can count you, How dear is your virginal flower! Your brightness is in no way dimmed, It is brave, strong, invincible. The very blaze of the noon-day sun Dims, and darkens in the presence of a virgin heart. I see nothing greater than virginity, It is a flower taken from the Divine Heart. O gentle virgin, fragrant rose, Although there are many crosses on earth, No eye has seen, nor has it entered into the mind of man What awaits a virgin in heaven O virgin, snow-white lily, You live wholly for Jesus alone And in the pure chalice of your heart Is a pleasing dwelling place for God Himself O virgin, no one will sing your hymn. In your song lies hidden the love of God. Even the angels do not comprehend What the virgins sing to God. O virgin, your flower of paradise Eclipses all the splendors of this world. And although the world cannot comprehend you, It bows humbly before you. Although the virgin's path is strewn with thorns, And her life bristles with many a cross, Who is as brave as she? Nothing will break her; she is invincible. O virgin, earthly angel, Your greatness is renowned throughout the Church You stand guard before the tabernacle And, like a Seraph, become all love.

ForHimAlone Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I was reading her diary, and this poem just stuck me. Virginity is so overlooked in today's society, and to me, it's one of the most beautiful gifts we can give to God! Saint Faustina says it so nicely, as she does everything. She has been such an inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tindomiel Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I've only just discovered St. Faustina. I agree that she's so inspiring! I love this prayer of hers as well: O will of the Omnipotent God, You are my delight, You are my joy. Whatever the hand of my Lord holds out to me I will accept with gladness, submission and love. Your holy will is my repose; In it is contained all my sanctity, And all my eternal salvation, For doing God's will is the greatest glory. The will of God - those are His various wishes Which my soul carries out without reserve, Because such are His divine desires, in those moments when God shares His confidences with me. Do with me as You will, Lord. I place no obstacles, I make no reservations. For You are my whole delight and the love of my soul, And to You, in turn, I pour out the confidences of my heart. So beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
