Jan. 2 - First Friday of 2015

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Lord Jesus, Word Made Flesh, whose birth and hidden life we have been celebrating during this Christmas season, has appeared to Saints Margaret Mary and St. Faustina to reveal in special ways His Love and Mercy. To both, He revealed the sorrow of His Heart at the coldness of our hearts, especially in receiving Holy Communion.

Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary:

“Behold the Heart which has so loved men that
it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and
consuming Itself, in order to testify Its
love; and in return, I receive from the
greater part only ingratitude, by their
irreverence and sacrilege, and by the
coldness and contempt they have for Me in
this Sacrament of Love. But what I feel most
keenly is that it is hearts which are
consecrated to Me, that treat Me thus…”

Words of Jesus to St. Faustina:

“You will prepare the world for My final coming. (Diary 429) Speak to the world about My mercy … It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the Day of Justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fountain of My mercy. (Diary 848)”

May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored and loved with grateful affection at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world. Even to the end of time. May all those consecrated by Baptism seek to offer reparation to the Heart of Jesus for their own sins and the sins of all. Jesus, I trust in You!
