Day 19 (last day of Week 1)

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

By God’s Grace, may we on this 33 Day Journey learn more from the Holy Spirit about humility and the Mercy of God. If it were not for God’s Mercy, shining on the Faces of Jesus and Mary, we could fall into despair looking at our faults and failures! However, seeking true knowledge of self lasts a lifetime, bringing new mercies every day, for if we are truly seeking, it is only because God has sought us first!

St. Faustina, given grace to see and hear Jesus speak of His Mercy, wrote:

O greatly merciful God, infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to your mercy—to your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth’s exiles! O Lord, goodness beyond our understanding, who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to you, we implore you: anticipate us with your grace and keep on increasing your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do your holy will all through our life and at death’s hour. Let the omnipotence of your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as your children, await your final coming—that day known to you alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our hope: through his merciful heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven. (Diary of St. Faustina , paragraph 1570)

Ezekiel 36: 26 I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.27I will put my spirit within you so that you walk in my statutes, observe my ordinances, and keep them.

Peace

Dear hazcompat,

Thanks so much for the beautiful quote from Ezekiel. Only by God’s Grace, can we believe, and trust and love! What have we that we have not received?

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Jesus, we trust in You to make our hearts like Yours.
