Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Thursday, July 27, 2023

REFLECTION:

“Once I heard these words: Go to the Mother Superior and ask that she allow you to do one hour of adoration every day for 9 days; [in] this adoration try to unite your prayer with My Mother. Pray with all your heart in union with Mary, also try to do the Via Crucis at this time. I received permission, but not for a whole hour, but for the time that my homework allowed me”.

“I had to do that novena for the intention of my homeland. On the seventh day of the novena I saw the Mother of God between heaven and earth, in a light tunic. She prayed with her hands next to her chest, looking up at the sky. From Rays of fire came out of his heart, some went to the sky and others covered our earth”. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 32-33).

CLOSING PRAYER:

“Oh GOD, the more I know You, the less I can understand You, but this inability to understand You allows me to know how great You are, oh GOD. And this inability to understand You burns my heart like a new flame, oh LORD. From the moment in which you allowed, oh JESUS, to submerge the look of my soul in You, I rest, and I do not desire anything else”. Oh My Good Merciful JESUS, King of Mercy, I trust in You and only in You I hope. Amen. JESUS I TRUST YOU! Amen (Diary, 57).
