REFLECTION:

“(136) Sometimes, after Holy Communion, I feel the Presence of GOD in a particular and sensitive way. I feel like GOD is in my heart. And the fact of feeling GOD in my soul does not prevent me from fulfilling my tasks at all; even when I carry out the most important matters that require attention, I do not lose the Presence of GOD in my soul and I remain closely united to Him. With Him I go to work, with Him I go to recreation, with Him I suffer, with Him I enjoy, I live in Him and He in me. I am never alone since He is my permanent companion. I feel His Presence in every moment. Our familiarity is close because of the union of blood and life.” (Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 318).

SUPPLICATIONS:

– Let us ask for the Grace to grow in the holy fear of the Name of GOD.

– Let us pray for all the people who have an impediment to approaching Holy Communion. so that they do not feel abandoned by the King of Mercy and that they always trust in His Mercy.

– Let us pray for all those consecrated to Divine Mercy, so that they may be true Ambassadors of the King of Mercy in this restless world.

– 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:

– Be obedient to the fulfillment of the sacred Commandments, with the purpose of always pleasing the LORD.

– Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

– Respect the Hour of Mercy.

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

CLOSING PRAYER:

From the depths of my heart I thank You, dear LORD [and King of Mercy], for Your infinite goodness in coming to me. How good You are to me! Together with Your Holy Mother and all the Angels, I praise You for Your generosity towards me, poor sinner. I thank You for feeding my soul with Your Sacred Body and Precious Blood.

I will try to show my gratitude to You in the Sacrament of Your love, by obeying Your sacred commandments, and by being faithful to my duties, kind to my neighbor, and seriously trying to be like You in my daily conduct.
