  • The following 25 rules for spiritual warfare are drawn from that revelation, recorded in entry 1760 of Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul. Jesus begins, โ€œMy daughter, I want to teach you about spiritual warfare,โ€ and proceeds to offer clear, concrete instructionsโ€”commands, warnings, and consolationsโ€”meant to strengthen her soul for battle. These words, though given to St. Faustina, speak to all who seek holiness in the midst of trial.
