divine-mercy-in-my-soul

Jesus, Savior, who have deigned (10) to come into my heart, drive away these
distractions which are keeping me from talking to You.
Jesus answered me, I want you to become like a knight experienced in battle, who
can give orders to others amid the exploding shells. In the same way, My child,
you should know how to master yourself amid the greatest difficulties, and let
nothing drive you away from Me, not even your falls.
Today, I have been struggling all day long with a certain difficulty about which You,
Jesus, know……
1824 13. + Today my heart trembles with joy. I desire very much that Jesus come to my
heart. My longing heart is inflamed with an ever-increasing love.
When Jesus came, I threw myself into His arms like a little child. I told Him of my joy.
Jesus listened to these outpourings of my love. When I asked pardon of Jesus for not
preparing myself for Holy Communion, but for continually thinking of sharing in this joy
as soon as possible, He answered that Most pleasing to Me is this preparation with
which you have received Me into your heart. Today, in a special way I bless this
your joy. Nothing will disturb that joy throughout this day……
1825 (11) 14. + Today, my soul is preparing for the coming of the Lord, who can do all things,
who can make me perfect and holy. I am preparing very carefully for His reception, but
there arose the difficulty as to how to present this to Him? I rejected it [this difficulty] at
once. I will present it as my heart dictates.
1826 When I had received Jesus in Holy Communion, my heart cried out with all its might,
“Jesus, transform me into another host! I want to be a living host for You. You are a
great and all-powerful Lord; You can grant me this favor.” And the Lord answered me,
You are a living host, pleasing to the Heavenly Father. But reflect: What is a
host? A sacrifice. And so…..?
O my Jesus, I understand the meaning of “host,” the meaning of sacrifice. I desire to be
before Your Majesty a living host; that is, a living sacrifice that daily burns in Your honor.
When my strength begins to fail, it is Holy Communion that will sustain me and give me
strength. Indeed, I fear the day on which I would not receive Holy Communion. My soul
draws astonishing strength from Holy Communion.
O living Host, light of my soul!
1827 (12) 15. + Today, my soul is preparing for Holy Communion as for a wedding feast,
wherein all the participants are resplendent with unspeakable beauty. And I, too, have
been invited to this banquet, but I do not see that beauty within myself, only an abyss of
misery. And, although I do not feel worthy of sitting down to table, I will however slip
under the table, at the feet of Jesus, and will beg for the crumbs that fall from the table.
Knowing Your mercy, I therefore approach You, Jesus, for sooner will I run out of
misery than will the compassion of Your Heart exhaust itself. That is why during this
day I will keep arousing trust in The Divine Mercy.
