Daily Reflections, Supplications and Prayer

Friday, September 8, 2023

REFLECTION:

GOD offers Graces in two ways: through inspirations and illuminations. If we ask for a Grace, GOD gives it, but we must want to accept it; but to accept it self-sacrifice is necessary. Love does not consist in words or feelings, but in action. It is an act of the will, it is a gift, that is, a donation; the intellect, the will, the heart, we must exercise these three faculties during prayer. I will rise in JESUS, but first I must live in Him. If I do not separate myself from the cross, then the Gospel will manifest itself in me. All my deficiencies are completed in my JESUS, His Grace that works without ceasing. THE HOLY TRINITY offers me His life abundantly with the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT. The Three Divine Persons live in me. If GOD loves, [He does it] with all His Being, with all the power of His Being. If GOD has loved me like this, how [should I reciprocate] this, I, His wife? (Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Divine Mercy in my soul, Diary, 392).

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

CLOSING PRAYER:

Oh JESUS and my LORD, help me to do what you have established before the centuries, I am ready for every sign of Your Holy Will. Grant light to my mind so that I can know what Your Holy Will is. Oh GOD, who penetrates my soul, You know that I want nothing more than Your glory. (Diary, 650).

Oh My Good Merciful JESUS, King of Mercy, I trust in You and only in You I hope. Amen JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!
