DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE MERCY

Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Sunday, January 07, 2024

REFLECTION:

Now I see clearly how God works through the confessor and how he is faithful to His promises. Two weeks ago, my Confessor ordered me to meditate on the childhood of the spirit. At first this was somewhat difficult for me, however, the Confessor, ignoring my difficulty, ordered me to continue the meditation on the childhood of the spirit.

In practice, this childhood should manifest itself like this: The child does not deal with the past or the future but takes advantage of the present moment. I wish to highlight this childhood of the spirit in you, sister, and I attach great importance to it. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 333).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask for the Grace to be humble and obedient so that we can perceive everything that the King of Mercy communicates to us,

– Let us ask for the Grace to live an authentic spiritual childhood and be joyful witnesses of Divine Mercy,

– Let us pray for those who have lost all hope, so that they let themselves be sustained by 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:

– Surrender to the King of Mercy with the attitude of a trusting and obedient child.

– 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 Merciful JESUS, with You I will face fights and battles with courage and audacity. In Your name I will accomplish everything and overcome everything. Oh my GOD, infinite Goodness, I beg you that Your unlimited Mercy be with me always and in everything. 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 859).
