Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Wednesday, June 21, 2023

REFLECTION:

“When I wanted to free myself from these inspirations, GOD told me that on the day of judgment He would demand a large number of souls from me. Once, exhausted by the multiple difficulties I had because JESUS was speaking to me and demanding that the image, I firmly decided, before my perpetual vows, to ask Father Andrasz [50] to dispense me from these interior inspirations and from the obligation to paint the image. Upon hearing the confession, Father Andrasz gave me the following answer: No, You are not exempt from anything, sister, and you are not allowed to evade these interior inspirations, but you must tell your confessor everything, this is necessary, absolutely necessary, because otherwise you will stray despite these great Graces of the LORD. At the moment you confess with me, but you must know that you must have a Permanent Confessor, that is, a Spiritual Director”. (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 52).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask the LORD for the Grace of having a good Spiritual Director.

– Let us pray for all the priests who carry out their apostolate in countries in conflict.

– 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:

– Seek a moment of intimacy with the LORD in my heart.

– Pray the Chaplet to Divine Mercy.

– Respect the Hour of Mercy.

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

CLOSING PRAYER:

“Oh my JESUS, only You know the longing and suffering of my heart. I am glad to be able to suffer even a little for You. When I feel that suffering is beyond my strength, then I take refuge in the LORD in the Blessed Sacrament and a profound silence is my prayer to the LORD“. 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, 73).
