divine-mercy-in-my-soul

1764 Application: O my Jesus, I feel guilty of many imperfections on this score but, by Your grace I
do not recall any conscious and voluntary transgression of the rule or the religious vows.
Continue to guard me, O my good Jesus, for of myself I am weak.
1765 Today, My daughter, for your reading you shall take chapter nineteen of Saint John‟s
Gospel, and read it, not only with your lips, but with your heart…..
1766 During this reading, my soul was filled with deep repentance. I saw all the ingratitude of
creatures toward their Creator and Lord; I asked God to protect me from spiritual blindness.
Conference on Sacrifice and Prayer.
1767 (123) My daughter, I want to instruct you on how you are to rescue souls through
sacrifice and prayer. You will save more souls through prayer and suffering than will a
missionary through his teachings and sermons alone. I want to see you as a sacrifice
of living love, which only then carries weight before Me. You must be annihilated,
destroyed, living as if you were dead in the most secret depths of your being. You must
be destroyed in that secret depth where the human eye has never penetrated; then will I
find in you a pleasing sacrifice, a holocaust full of sweetness and fragrance. And great
will be your power for whomever you intercede. Outwardly, your sacrifice must look
like this: silent, hidden, permeated with love, imbued with prayer. I demand, My
daughter, that your sacrifice be pure and full of humility, that I may find pleasure in it. I
will not spare my grace, that you may be able to fulfill what I demand of you.
I will now instruct you on what (124) your holocaust shall consist of, in everyday life, so
as to preserve you from illusions. You shall accept all sufferings with love. Do not be
afflicted if your heart often experiences repugnance and dislike for sacrifice. All its
power rests in the will, and so these contrary feelings, far from lowering the value of the
sacrifice in My eyes, will enhance it. Know that your body and soul will often be in the
midst of fire. Although you will not feel My presence on some occasions, I will always
be with you. Do not fear; My grace will be with you……
Third Day.
1768 My daughter, in this meditation, consider the love of neighbor. Is your love for your
neighbor guided by My love? Do you pray for your enemies? Do you wish well to those
who have, in one way or another, caused you sorrow or offended you?
Know that whatever good (125) you do to any soul, I accept it as if you had done it to
Me.
1769 Application: O Jesus, my Love, You know that it has only been for a short while that I
have acted toward my neighbor guided solely by Your love. You alone know of my
efforts to do this. It comes to me more easily now, but if You Yourself did not kindle that
love in my soul, I would not be able to persevere in this. This is due to Your Eucharistic
love which daily sets me afire.
