DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE MERCY

Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayers

Monday, December 25, 2023

REFLECTION:

“You must know, […], that My Heart is Mercy Itself. From this sea of Mercy, the Graces spill over the entire world. No soul that has come close to Me has withdrawn without consolation.

All misery sinks [into] My Mercy and from this spring flows all Grace, saving and sanctifying. […] I want your heart to be the seat of My mercy. I wish that this Mercy spreads over the whole world through your heart. Anyone who approaches you cannot leave without trusting in this Mercy of mine that I so desire for souls. Pray, as much as you can, for the dying, implore for them trust in My mercy, because they are the ones who most need trust and who have very little. You must know that the Grace of eternal Salvation of some souls at the last moment depended on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, (129) then draw from it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Before heaven and earth turn to nothing, let My Mercy stop embracing a trusting soul” (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 1777).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask for the Grace to be the seat of the Mercy of the LORD,

– Let us pray so that our hearts are channels through which the Mercy of the LORD passes towards our neighbor,

– Let us pray for sinners who still do not know the mercy of the LORD,

– 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 open myself to the Mercy of the LORD and fight for the salvation of inveterate sinners.

– Pray the Meditated Divine Mercy Chaplet pdf.

– Respect the Hour of Mercy.

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

FINAL PRAYER:

You expired, JESUS, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and the sea of Mercy opened for the whole world. Oh source of life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, encompasses the entire world and pour yourself out on us. 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 1319).
