ChurchPOP @Church_POP - Saint Faustina had an incredible spiritual encounter with her Guardian angel in a garden in 1934.
A nun Faustina knew was dying, but there was no way for her to know it at the time.
The nun spoke to Faustina as she died with the help of her guardian angel - and they weren’t even in the same city!
Here’s Saint Faustina’s story about her Guardian Angel:
“When I went to the garden one afternoon, my Guardian Angel said to me, ‘Pray for the dying.’
“And so I began at once to pray the rosary with the gardeners for the dying. After the rosary, we said various prayers for the dying. After the prayers, the wards began to chat gayly among themselves.
“In spite of the noise they were making, I heard these words in my soul, ‘Pray for me!’
“But as I could not understand these words very well, I moved a few steps away from the wards, trying to think who it could be who was asking me to pray.
“Then I heard the words: ‘I am Sister …’
“This sister was in Warsaw while I was, at the time, in Vilnius.
“‘Pray for me until I tell you to stop. I am dying.’
“Immediately, I began to pray fervently for her, [addressing myself] to the expiring Heart of Jesus. She gave me no respite, and I kept praying from three [o’clock] until five.
“At five, I heard the words, ‘Thank you!’ and I understood that she had died. But during Holy Mass on the following day, I continued to pray fervently for her soul.
“In the afternoon, a postcard came saying that Sister … had died at such and such a time. I understood that it was at the same hour when she had said to me, ‘Pray for me.'”
The sister's identity is uncertain, but the footnotes of Faustina's diary say the nun she spoke of was “probably Sister Philomena Andrejko, who died in Warsaw on July 13, 1934, at 4:45 pm.”
Although this happened before Jesus revealed the Divine Mercy Chaplet to Saint Faustina, it seemed to foreshadow what was to come.
