trust yourself,

trust God’s providence,

and get ready to open your heart

in such a way; that you will hear God

clearly

say to you,

“i love you!”

now, go!

go,

and do

the same!

these hugs n’ 3 blessings are for you:  your yesterday, your today, and all your tomorrow’s!

 

psalm 62:5

a visit to my interior castle. (in search of the) Divine Mercy in my soul.

my guide: st. faustina.

791  Hide me, Jesus, in the depths of Your mercy, and then let my neighbor judge me as he pleases.

792  I must never speak of my own experiences.  In suffering, I must seek relief in prayer.  In doubts, even the smallest, I must seek only the advice of my confessor.   I must always have a heart which is open to receive the sufferings of others, and drown my own sufferings in the Divine Heart so that they would not be noticed on the outside, in so far as possible.  I must always strive for equanimity, no matter how stormy the circumstances might be.  I must not allow anything to disturb my interior calm and silence.  Nothing can compare with peace of soul.  When I am wrongfully accused of something, I will not explain myself; if the superior wants to know (195) the truth, whether I was in the right or not, let her find out from others rather than from me.  My concern is to accept everything with a humble inner disposition.

Daniel \d(a)-niel\ as a boy’s name is pronounced DAN-yel.

From the Hebrew name דָּנִיֵּאל (Daniyyel) meaning “God is my judge”. Daniel was a Hebrew prophet whose story is told in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. He lived during the Jewish captivity in Babylon, where he served in the court of the king, rising to prominence by interpreting the king’s dreams. The book also presents Daniel’s four visions of the end of the world.  He survived two death sentences: (a lions’ den and a fiery furnace.)

In American, Daniel is a masculine name and it is a common given name for males.

 Because they are so affectionate and giving, they may be imposed on and may be easily hurt or are sometimes quick-tempered.

The name of Daniel has a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole.  However, there is a tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern.  People with problems are drawn to them as they recognize him as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance.  They have a generous quality to their nature, but they must guard carefully against giving more than they receive or they will find themselves doing without because they have helped someone else.  They love people, family, home, and friends and try to be a parent to the whole human race.

And while there are generally stable conditions in their personal life, they may experience some problems through a tendency to be scattering and inattentive to details.
