REFLECTION:

“+ When JESUS fascinated me with His beauty and attracted me to Himself, then I saw what He did not like in my soul, and I decided to eliminate it at all costs and with the help of Grace I eliminated it immediately. This generosity pleased the LORD and from that moment GOD began to grant me superior Graces. I do not do any reasoning in the interior life; I do not analyze anything along which paths the DIVINE SPIRIT takes me; it is enough for me to know that I am loved and that I love. Pure love allows me to know GOD and understand many mysteries. The confessor is an oracle for me, his word is sacrosanct for me, I am talking about the spiritual director [130]”. (Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 293).

SUPPLICATIONS:

CLOSING PRAYER:

“Oh SUPREME GOOD, I wish to love You as until now no one has loved You on earth. I wish to adore You with every moment of my life and closely unite my will to Your Holy Will. My life is not monotonous or gray, but varied like a garden of perfumed flowers, where I do not know which flower to pick first: the lily of suffering or the rose of love of neighbor or the violet of humility. I am not going to list these treasures that I have in abundance every day.” (Diary 296).

Oh My Good Merciful Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in You and only in You I hope. Amen. JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!
