REFLECTION:

“… – JESUS: I am pleased to speak with you and your gratitude opens up new treasures of Graces, but, My child, let us speak perhaps not so generally, but in details of what weighs most on your heart; let us speak confidentially and sincerely as two hearts that They love each other.

– The soul: Oh my merciful LORD, there are secrets in my heart that no one outside of You knows or will know, because even if I wanted to tell them, no one would understand me. Your representative knows something, since I confess to him, but as much as I am able to reveal to him of these secrets, the rest remains between us for eternity, oh my LORD! (94) You have covered me with the mantle of Your Mercy, always forgiving me my sins. Not once have You denied me Your forgiveness, but having compassion for me, You have always filled me with a new life, the life of Grace. So that I have no doubts about anything, You have entrusted me to the loving protection of Your Church, this true, tender mother who in Your name affirms me in the truths of faith and watches that I never err. And especially in the court of Your Mercy my soul experiences a whole sea of benevolence. You have not given the fallen angels time to do penance, you have not extended the time of Mercy. Oh my LORD, on the path of my life you have placed some holy priests who show me a safe path. JESUS, in my life there is one more secret, the deepest, but also the dearest to me, it is Yourself under the species of bread when you come to my heart. Here is the whole secret of my holiness. Here my heart united with yours becomes one, here there is no longer any secret, because everything that is Yours is mine, and that which is mine is Yours. Behold the Omnipotence and (95) the miracle of Your Mercy. Even if all human and angelic languages were united, they would not find sufficient words to express this mystery of love and Your unfathomable Mercy. When I consider this mystery of love, my heart enters a new ecstasy of love and I speak to You about everything, LORD, silently, because the language of love is wordless, because not a single beat of my heart escapes.

Oh LORD, despite the fact that You have humbled Yourself so much, Your greatness has multiplied in my soul and that is why an even greater love has awakened in my soul towards You, the only object of my love, because the life of love and of the union is manifested on the outside as: perfect purity, profound humility, sweet meekness, great fervor for the salvation of souls. Oh my sweet LORD, you watch over me at every moment and inspire me on how I should behave in each case; When my heart wavered between one thing and another, You Yourself intervened, more than once, to solve the matter. Oh, how many and countless times, with a sudden light You made me know (96) what pleased You most. – Oh, how numerous are this secret forgiveness that no one knows about. Many times you have poured strength and courage into my soul to move forward. You Yourself eliminated the difficulties, to [375] get out of my way by intervening directly in the actions of men. Oh JESUS, everything I have told You is a pale shadow compared to the reality that is in my heart. Oh my JESUS, how I desire the conversion of sinners. You know what I do for them to win them over for You. Every offense made against You hurts me enormously. You know that I spare neither strength, nor health, nor life in defense of Your kingdom. Although on earth my efforts are invisible, but they have no less value in Your eyes. Oh JESUS, I desire to draw souls to the Fountain of Your Mercy so that they may take the life-giving water of life with the vessel of trust. if the soul desires to experience greater mercy from GOD, it approaches GOD with great confidence and if its confidence is without limits, the mercy of GOD will also be without limits for it. oh my LORD, (97) who know every beat of my heart, You know with what fervor I desire that all hearts beat exclusively for You, that each soul glorify the greatness of Your Mercy…”. (Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 1489).

I strain my ears and am attentive to every occasion; it does not matter if on the outside, in such a case, I am judged differently…” (cf. Diary 1493).

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