Saint Faustina is well known for the revelations of Divine Mercy
that she received from Jesus and recorded in her Diary. But few
know that she also received many revelations from the Blessed
Virgin Mary and enjoyed a special relationship with her. Now, in
Purest of All Lilies, a prominent Marian priest with a background
in Mariology explores St. Faustina's rich relationship with Mary
from her love of Mary growing up in Poland to the many Diary
passages that she devoted to the Mother of God when she was a nun.
The reader learns how St. Faustina's father would begin each day
singing prayers to the Blessed Virgin and of the family's special
May and October devotions to the Mother of God. At the early age of
five, the future saint would tell her mother of dreams she had in
which she walked handinhand with the Blessed Virgin in a beautiful
garden. Along with St. Faustina's early devotion to Mary, the
author shows us how the Blessed Mother taught her as a nun
important lessons about suffering, purity of heart and humility.
Perhaps most fascinating of all, this Marian priest analyses the
poems that St. Faustina wrote about Mary and the metaphors she used
to describe the Blessed Virgin, including flowers such as the lily,
the rose and the violet.
