Sylwetka duchowa Sługi Bożej Leonii Marii Nastał, służebniczki Starowiejskiej (1903-1940) na tle epoki

Abstract

Sister Leonia Nastał believed in the love of God, the kind father, thus becoming his beloved child. She was granted the grace of mystical life. She lived in the shade of St. Theresa of Lisieux, from whom she drew inspiration for her spiritual life. She bequeathed her deep inner experience focused on an idea of complete surrender to Christ, like an infant, without reservation or keeping anything for herself. Experiencing the love of God like a little baby in the hands of good God, she discovered the mystery of “spiritual infancy” By this she meant something more than being God's child, just as an infant is totally dependent on its parents and is even unable to express its needs or feelings. Sister Leonia built a strong relationship with her Creator, who was for her not only a giver of life, but a loving father, who cares for his child and chooses the best things for her.
