Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Saturday, July 22, 2023

REFLECTION:

“During the Holy Mass celebrated by Father Andrasz, a moment before the elevation, the presence of GOD penetrated my soul, and it was drawn towards the altar. Then I saw the Blessed Virgin with the Child Jesus. The Child JESUS was holding the hand of the Virgin; at one point the Child JESUS ran joyfully to the center of the altar, and the Blessed Virgin told me: Look, with what tranquility I entrust JESUS into her hands, so you too must (123) entrust your soul and be like a child before Him. After these words my soul was filled with a mysterious confidence. The Blessed Virgin was dressed in a white tunic, singularly white, transparent, on her back she had a transparent mantle the color of heaven, like blue, her head uncovered, her hair loose; splendid and indescribably beautiful. The Blessed Virgin looked at the priest with great benevolence, but a moment later the Father broke this splendid Child and truly living blood came out; the priest bent over and took JESUS alive and true into himself. He ate it, I do not know how this happens. Oh JESUS, JESUS, I cannot follow You because You become inconceivable to me in a moment”. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 677).
