Daily Reflections, supplications and prayers

1. Reflection:

Conversation of the Merciful God With a Despairing Soul.  

Jesus:  What joy fills My Heart when you return to me.  Because you are weak, I take you in My arms and carry you to the home of My Father.

Soul (as if awaking, asks fearfully):  Is it possible that there yet is mercy for me?

Jesus:  There is, My child.  You have a special claim on My mercy.  Let it act in your poor soul; let the rays of grace enter your soul; they bring with them light, warmth, and life.   

Soul:  But fear fills me at the thought of my sins, and this terrible fear moves me to doubt Your goodness.

Jesus:  My child, all your sins have not wounded My Heart as painfully as your present lack of trust does – that after so many efforts of My (84) love and mercy, you should still doubt My goodness (Saint María Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy in My Soul, Diary, 1486).

2. Supplications:

  • Let us ask to increase our trust in Him,
  • Let us ask for the grace to put away fear and to grow in the holy fear of God,
  • For the intentions of Virgin Mary,
  • For the souls in purgatory,
  • For our suffering humanity and for our personal intentions.

 3. Resolutions of the day:

4. Final Prayer: 

O sweet Mother of God, I model my life on You; You are for me the bright dawn; In You I lose myself, enraptured.

O Mother, Immaculate Virgin,

In You the divine ray is reflected, Midst storms, tis You who teach me to love the Lord,    O my shield and defense from the foe. Oh My Good Merciful Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in You, and only in you I Hope. Amen. Jesus I Trust in You (Cf. Diary, 1232).
