Santa Faustina tells us about the strength of the Salve Regina

Once the confessor asked me to pray according to his intention and I began a novena to Our Lady. This novena consisted of reciting the "Salve Regina" nine times.

Towards the end of the novena I saw the Madonna with the Child Jesus in her arms and I also saw my confessor who was kneeling at her feet and talking to her. he had come down from the arms of the Madonna and approached me.

I never got tired of admiring His beauty. I heard some words that Our Lady was saying to him, but I didn't hear everything. The words are these:

«I am not only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy and your Mother».

At that moment he stretched out his right hand with which he was holding the cloak and covered that priest with it. In that instant the vision disappeared. Oh! what a great grace it is to have a spiritual director! One progresses more quickly in the virtues, one knows the will of God more clearly, one fulfills it more faithfully, one proceeds on a certain and sure path.
