The House of Your Father

"Once, when I was deeply moved by the thought of eternity and its mysteries, my soul became fearful; and when I pondered about these a little longer, I started to be troubled by various doubts. Then Jesus said to me:   

'My child, do not be afraid 
of the house of your Father.'"

St. Faustina Kowalska, Diary 290
