Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Thursday, July 6, 2023

Reflection:

“GOD made me know what true love consists of and gave me the light how to demonstrate it in practice. True love for GOD consists in doing the will of God. To demonstrate love to GOD in practice, it is necessary for all our actions, even the smallest, derive from love for GOD. And the LORD said to me: – My child, more than anything you please Me through suffering. In your physical and moral sufferings, My child, do not seek compassion from creatures. I want the fragrance of your sufferings to be pure, without any mixture. I demand that you distance yourself not only from creatures, but also from yourself. My daughter, I want to delight myself with the love of your heart: pure, virginal love, intact, without any shadow. My child, the more you love suffering, the purer your love for Me will be.” (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 279).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask the LORD for the Grace to learn to love everyone as our King of Mercy loves us.

– Let us pray for all those who live with hatred and a tendency to revenge, so that they allow themselves to be touched by the true love of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

– 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:

– Open myself to the love of the King of Mercy.

– Pray the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy.

– Respect the Hour of Mercy.

– Try to carry out at least one work of Mercy throughout the day.

CLOSING PRAYER:

“Oh Redeemer of the human race, that You have loved us to death for our salvation and that, in the sufferings and torments of agony, You forgot everything to think only of the salvation of our souls! Oh Most Merciful JESUS, grant me the Grace of forgetting myself, and live for others, thus helping you in the Work of Redemption according to the Most Holy Will of your Heavenly Father!” Oh My Good Merciful JESUS, King of Mercy, I trust in You and only in You I hope. Amen. JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!
