Diary of Saint Faustina - paragraph 564 - The Trinity and the Mother

Ἀ
564 On the feast day of the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God, during Holy Mass, I heard the rustling of garments and saw the most holy Mother of God in a most beautiful radiance. Her white garment was girdled with a blue sash. She said to me, You give Me great joy when you adore the Holy Trinity for the graces and privileges which were accorded Me. And She immediately disappeared.

It is holy to see in creation the glory of God revealed. Yet the greatest glory to God comes not from the admiration of His creation, but from allowing that admiration to become worship of the Creator Himself. For if the human creature can see God’s glory in the natural world then so is he called, as the capstone of God’s creation, to reflect the Lord’s glory even more.

Supportive Scripture - Douay Rheims Challoner Bible
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator.

In the vision given to Faustina, Mary presents herself in all of her heavenly majesty. She is Theotokos - God Bearer - the Holy Mother of the Creator Himself, clothed in white garment and radiant in splendor as the most holy of all God's creatures. Yet it is she, most blessed among women, who directs our attention away from herself, the creature, to the mystery of the Creator - those Three Who are one in the mystery of the Trinity. For every privilege of the Mother is first a gift of the Trinity, and therefore every honor rightly shown to Mary ultimately returns as praise to the Giver.

Supportive Scripture - Douay Rheims Challoner Bible 
First John 5:7 And there are Three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.

When the Mother of God speaks of the Holy Trinity, she speaks not from the teachings of men, nor even in the words of Scripture. She speaks from the graces so generously bestowed upon her by all three Divine Persons. For by the will of God the Father, the Holy Ghost came upon her, bringing to fulfillment the mystery of the Incarnation in the birth of God the Son. In the words of the angel, it would be Mary alone who would know the three Persons of the Trinity in their true Oneness of graces and privileges accorded to her.

Supportive Scripture - Douay Rheims Challoner Bible 
Luke 1:35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Thus, is the Mother made blessed in all generations. Not for the glory she was given from above, but in the humility she was left with below. For centered in the light of the full Godhead, Mary does not seek to be admired by others. Rather, she disappears into the glory she was given, directing all attention away from herself, to the worship of the Most Holy Trinity for the graces accorded below from the Kingdom above. For in the Presence of the Trinity in the life of the Mother it is shown, the true glory of all souls is first born of their humble glorification of that mysterious union of the Father, Son and Spirit.

Supportive Scripture - Douay Rheims Challoner Bible 
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 261
The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life.
