DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE MERCY

Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayers

Friday, December 29, 2023

REFLECTION:

+ Before Confession I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, tell him everything and reveal your soul before him as you do before Me. Do not be afraid of anything; for your peace of mind, I put that priest between Me and your soul, and the words that he will answer you, are Mine. Discover in front of him the most secret things you have in your soul. I will give him light so that he knows your soul.

As I approached the confessional grate, I felt in my soul such a great facility to talk about everything, that later I surprised myself. His answers gave my soul a very deep tranquility. His words were, are, and will remain forever like columns of fire that illuminated and will continue to illuminate my soul in its aspiration to the highest holiness (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 232-233).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask for the Grace to approach Confession with sincerity.

– Let us ask for the Grace to recognize our miseries with humility and trust in the Mercy of the LORD.

– Let us pray for those who do not believe in the forgiveness of sins.

– For our suffering humanity.

– For the souls in Purgatory.

– For the intentions of the Virgin Mary.

– For our Holy Catholic Church,

– For our personal intentions.

PURPOSE OF THE DAY:

– Always do a good examination of conscience before going to Confession.

– Pray the chaplet to the Meditated Divine Mercy pdf.

– Respect the hour of Mercy.

– Try to do at least one work of Mercy throughout the day.

FINAL PRAYER:

Oh good JESUS, I thank You for this great Grace, that is, for letting me know what I am by myself, misery and sin, nothing more. By myself I can do only one thing, that is, offend You, oh my God, because misery by itself can do nothing else but offend You, oh infinite Goodness. 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 363).
