REFLECTION:

“+ Once, a sister was caring for the sick, so negligent in her work that it was truly necessary to mortify herself quite a bit. One day I decided to tell the Superiors; but I heard a voice in my soul: Bear patiently, someone else will say it. However, such service continued throughout the month. When I was able to go down a little to the refectory and recreation, I heard in my soul these words: Now other sisters will talk (155) about the negligence in the service of that nun, but you keep quiet and do not intervene in This matter. At that very moment a rather harsh discussion began about that sister, but she was unable to find anything in her defense and all the sisters chorused: Amend yourselves, sister, and take better care of the sick. I learned that, sometimes, JESUS does not want us to say something on our initiative; He has His way and knows when is the right time to speak” (Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 1587).
