A Prayer of St. Faustina

A friend who suffers much with mental struggles sends quotes from the holy books she reads. This prayer of St. Faustina seems so good for anyone. It is true that especially, perhaps, with physical pain, the suffering becomes, also, one of mental suffering. Sometimes physical pain takes the mind to the brink! Loss of control over thoughts and words spoken, becomes a challenge!

"When I receive Holy Communion, I entreat and beg the
Savior to heal my tongue, that I may never fail in love of
neighbor."

At first I thought of praying to have my tongue curbed, but it can too easily drive away recklessly. 
But to have one's tongue "healed" is something more effective and lasting.  And, the healing is
to ensure that one loves others with words spoken.

Of course, much of a victim soul's work for Jesus is to not speak but to simply suffer in
silence.  And by simply, it is meant with generosity which is a simple giving over.

The suffering itself might not seem so simple in the exactitude required!

It seems that using the tongue can be very exhausting for one who is suffering.  The
energy is depleted by speaking.  Best to learn to have the tongue healed in a mode
of not speaking, in silence.  Most healing does come silently, does it not?  Perhaps
all healing is a silent occurrence.  Seems so.  And often healing takes time; yes, most
healing takes time other than miraculous, instantaneous cures.  And when healing
does not come in a physical or mental sense, there is always the spiritual healing
that always comes, sooner or later. 

We must ponder more the supernatural healing from the supernatural realm in which
Jesus operates upon our members--physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.

The body that this soul utilizes while on this earth, in this lifetime, has taken a dip in
energy over the past year.  So especially, it needs to ponder the spiritual healing and
its vast benefits--and then consider the small sacrifice of the body.  For it is a small
sacrifice in the full spectrum of life.  The full spectrum is illuminated by the spiritual.
Too bad we are often blind to or blinded by such light and love! 

This puts into perspective all the more the delight in having one's tongue healed so
that it can love the other and the Other, to greater effect and to spiritual fullness.  To
speak with many tongues or other tongues, might be open to thought, given the aspect
of the spiritual view of communicating!  Not much with words, and often not with the
bodily actions.  There is a means of speaking spiritually, interiorly, and not even with
thoughts formed in words.

That is a healing of the tongue, surely!
