Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Sunday, June 25, 2023

REFLECTION:

“(154) + On a certain occasion JESUS made me know that when I pray for some intention that is sometimes recommended to me, He is always ready to grant His Graces, but souls do not always want to accept them. My Heart is full of great Mercy for souls and especially for poor sinners. Oh, if they could understand that I am the best Father for them, that for them Blood and Water have flowed from My Heart as from an overflowing fountain of My Mercy; for them I live in the tabernacle; as King of Mercy I wish to fill souls with Graces, but they do not want to accept them. At least you come to Me as often as possible and take these Graces that they do not want to accept and with this you will console My Heart. Oh, how great is the indifference of souls for so much goodness, for so many proofs of love. My Heart is rewarded only with ingratitude, with forgetfulness on the part of the souls that live in the world. They have time for everything, they just do not have time to come to Me to receive the Graces.

So, I am addressing you, chosen souls, do you also not understand the love of My Heart? And here too My Heart has been disappointed: I do not find total abandonment in My love. So many reservations, so much mistrust, so much caution. To console you, I will tell you that there are souls that live in the world, who sincerely love Me, in their hearts I remain with delight, but they are few. Also in the convents there are souls that fill My Heart with joy. My features are engraved on them and that is why the Heavenly FATHER looks at them with special complacency. They will be the marvel of the Angels and of men. Their number is very small, they constitute a defense before the Justice of the Heavenly Father and implore the Mercy for the world. The love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the existence of the world. What hurts My Heart most painfully is the infidelity of the soul chosen by me especially; these infidelities are like swords that pierce My Heart”. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 367).
