These tips from Santa Faustina help you to fight hard and win against the devil!

Santa Faustina was born on August 25, 1905, the third of ten children, from Marianna and Stanislao Kowalski, peasants of the village of Glogowie.

At the age of nine she received First Communion; it was a profound experience for her because she immediately became aware of the presence of the Divine Guest in her soul.

Since childhood she distinguished herself for love, for prayer, for industriousness, for obedience and for a great sensitivity towards human poverty.

She attended school for just three years. Still an adolescent, she left her parents’ house and went to the service of some wealthy families of Aleksandrow, Lodl and Ostrowek, to support herself and help her parents.
