Get To Know God's Attributes

 Who are You?

On one occasion when St. Faustina was reflecting on the Holy Trinity she asked “Who are You?”  She heard a voice reply: “Who God is in His Essence, no one will fathom, neither the mind of Angels nor of man.  Get to know God by contemplating His attributes.”

She goes on to say: “The first attribute which the Lord gave me to know is His holiness.  His holiness is so great that all the Powers and Virtues tremble before Him.  The pure spirits veil their faces and lose themselves in unending adoration, and with one single word they express the highest form of adoration; that is “Holy”.  The holiness of God is poured out upon the Church of God and upon every living soul in it, but not in the same degree.  There are souls who are completely penetrated by God, and there are those who are barely alive.”

“The second kind of knowledge which the Lord granted me concerns His justice.  His justice is so great and penetrating that it reaches deep into the heart of things, and all things stand before Him in naked truth, and nothing can withstand Him”.

“The third attribute is Love and Mercy.  And I understood that the greatest attribute is love and mercy.  It unites the creature with the Creator.  This immense love and abyss of mercy are made known in the Incarnation of the Word and in the Redemption of humanity, and it is here that I saw this as the greatest of all God’s attributes.” (St Faustina - Prayer Book for Adoration)

Spending chapel time in the presence of the Lord helps us get to know and understand His attributes.  Go to the website below and commit to an hour of Adoration each week by putting your name on any hour convenient with your schedule.  You will not be disappointed.
