Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Thursday, July 20, 2023

REFLECTION:

On March 25. During morning meditation, the Presence of GOD enveloped me in a singular way, while I reflected on the infinite greatness of GOD and, at the same time, on His condescension towards the creature. Then I saw the Blessed Virgin who told me: – Oh, how pleasant is for GOD the soul that faithfully follows the inspiration of His Grace. I gave the world the SAVIOR and you must speak to the world of His great Mercy and prepare the world for His second (91) coming. He will come, not as a Merciful SAVIOR, but as a Just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day. The day of justice is already established, the day of Divine wrath. The angels tremble before that day. Speak to souls of that great Mercy, while there is still a time to grant Mercy. If you are silent now, on that terrible day you will answer for a great number of souls. Do not be afraid of anything, remain faithful to the end, I will I accompany my feelings (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 635).

SUPPLICATIONS:

CLOSING PRAYER:

…Oh Divine Will, delight of my heart, nourishment of my soul, light of my intellect, almighty force of my will, since when I join Your Will, LORD, then Your power works through me, taking the place of my weak will”… (Diary, 650).

JESUS, I trust in You and only in You I hope. Amen.
