Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Saturday, July 1, 2023

REFLECTION:

“(84) Today I spoke with the LORD who told me: – There are souls in which I cannot do anything; they are the souls that continually investigate others without seeing what is happening inside themselves. They do not stop talking about others even during the rigorous silence that is dedicated to speaking with Me. Poor souls, they do not hear My words, they remain empty inside, they do not seek Me within their hearts but in gossip where I am never. They feel their emptiness, but they do not recognize their Guilt and the souls in which I reign with fullness are their continuous remorse of conscience. Instead of making amends, they have hearts where envy grows and if they do not repent, they sink deeper. The heart, until now envious, begins to cultivate the hate. And they are already close to the abyss, they envy other souls My gifts, but they themselves do not know and do not want to accept them”. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 1717).

CLOSING PRAYER:

“(85) Remaining at Your feet, oh hidden GOD, is the delight and paradise of my soul. There You reveal yourself to me, oh Infinite, and you say to me sweetly: – give me your heart, give it to me…”. 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, 1718).
