Divine Mercy Novena Day Five
Dear Family of Mary!
This
message of March 2, 2015 resonates with the excerpt from St. Faustina's
Diary and also the intention today for the Divine Mercy Novena. Let's
pray with all our hearts!
"Dear children! You are my strength. You, my apostles, who with your love, humility and silence of prayer are making it possible for one to come to know my Son. You live in me. You carry me in your heart. You know that you have a mother who loves you and who has come to bring love. I am looking at you in the Heavenly Father - your thoughts, your pains, your sufferings - and I offer them to my Son. Do not be afraid and do not lose hope, because my Son listens to his mother. Since he was born he loves and I desire for all of my children to come to know that love. I desire that all those who left him because of their pain and misunderstanding may return to him and that all those who have never known him may come to know him. That is why you are here, my apostles, and I as a mother am with you. Pray for the firmness of faith, because love and mercy come from firm faith. Through love and mercy you will help all those who are not aware that they are choosing darkness instead of light. Pray for your shepherds because they are the strength of the Church which my Son left to you. Through my Son, they are the shepherds of souls. Thank you." (March 2, 2015)
Conversation of the Merciful God with a Perfect Soul.
Soul: My Lord and Master, I desire to converse with You.
Jesus: Speak, My beloved child, for I am always listening. I wait for you. What do you desire to say?
Soul:
Lord, first let me pour out my heart at Your feet in a fragrant
anointing of gratitude for the many blessings which You lavish upon me;
even if I wanted to, I could not count them. I only recall that there
has never been a moment in my life in which I have not experienced Your
protection and goodness.
Jesus:
Your words please Me, and your thanksgiving opens up new treasures of
graces. But, My child, we should talk in more detail about the things
that lie in your heart. Let us talk confidentially and frankly, as two
hearts that love one another do.
Soul:
O my merciful Lord, there are secrets in my heart which no one knows or
will ever know except You because, even if I wanted to reveal them, no
one would understand me. Your minister knows some because I confess to
him, but he knows only the bit of these mysteries that I am capable of
revealing; the rest remains between us for eternity, O My Lord! You have
covered me with the cloak of Your mercy, pardoning my sins. Not once
did You refuse Your pardon; You always had pity on me, giving me a new
life of grace. To prevent doubts, You have entrusted me to the loving
care of Your Church, that tender mother, who in Your Name assures me of
the truths of faith and watches lest I wander. Especially in the
tribunal of Your mercy does my soul meet an ocean of favors, though You
did not give the Fallen Angels time to repent or prolong their time of
mercy. O my Lord, you have provided saintly priests to show me the sure
way.
Jesus,
there is one more secret in my life, the deepest and dearest to my
heart: it is You Yourself when You come to my heart under the appearance
of bread. Herein lies the whole secret of my sanctity. Here my heart is
so united with Yours as to be but one. There are no more secrets,
because all that is Yours is mine, and all that is mine is Yours. Such
is the omnipotence and the miracle of Your mercy. All the tongues of men
and of angels united could not find words adequate to this mystery of
Your love and mercy. When I contemplate this mystery, my heart falls
into a new ecstasy....
Jesus:
My beloved child, delight of My Heart, your words are dearer and more
pleasing to me than the angelic chorus. All the treasures of My Heart
are open to you. Take from this Heart all that you need for yourself and
for the whole world. For the sake of your love, I withhold the just
chastisements, which mankind has deserved. A single act of pure love
pleases Me more than a thousand imperfect prayers. One of your sighs of
love atones for many offenses with which the godless overwhelm Me. The
smallest act of virtue has unlimited value in My eyes because of your
great love for Me. In a soul that lives on My love alone, I reign as in
heaven. I watch over it day and night. In it I find My happiness; My ear
is attentive to each request of its heart; often I anticipate its
requests. O child, especially beloved by Me, apple of My eye, rest a
moment near My Heart and taste of the love in which you will delight for
all eternity.
But
child, you are not yet in your homeland; so go, fortified by My grace,
and fight for My kingdom in human souls; fight as a king's child would;
and remember that the days of your exile will pass quickly, and with
them the possibility of earning merit for heaven. I expect from you, My
child, a great number of souls who will glorify My mercy for all
eternity. My child, that you may answer My call worthily, receive Me
daily in Holy Communion. It will give you strength.......
Divine Mercy Novena, Day Five:
Today
bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY
CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter
Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they
return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they
alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
