Saint Faustina Kowalska wrote about her visions of heaven
Saint Faustina Kowalska recorded visions of heaven in her diary entries from November 1936. According to ChurchPOP, the mystic described seeing all creatures offering continuous praise and glory to God.
In her November 27, 1936, entry, Kowalska wrote that she experienced the happiness found in God, which she noted spreads to all creatures and returns to its source as glory. She described creatures contemplating the inner life of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, even though they cannot fully comprehend them. Kowalska characterized this happiness as unchanging in essence yet always new.
The diary also notes that Kowalska understood God places infinite value on the love of God. ChurchPOP classifies these visions as private revelation, which is not binding on the Catholic faithful in the same way as Scripture and Tradition.
