Trusting souls are the outpouring and the amusement of the love of Jesus.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not rely on your own insight. (Proverbs 3:5)

Volume 11, April 10, 1912

Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and told me: “My daughter, the souls who will shine the most, like bright gems in the crown of my mercy, are the souls who have more trust, because the more trust they have, the more they give space for the attribute of my Mercy to pour into them any grace they want. On the other hand, the soul who does not have true trust, herself closes the graces within Me, remaining always poor and unequipped, while my love remains constrained within Me, and I suffer very much. And in order not to suffer so much, and to be able to pour out my love more freely, I deal more with those souls who trust than with the others. With these I can pour out my love, I can play, I can cause loving contrasts, since there is no worry that they might take offense or become fearful; on the contrary, they become more brave and take everything in order to love Me more. Therefore, trusting souls are the outpouring and the amusement of my love, the ones who receive more graces, and the richest.”

Prayer- Jesus I trust In You, that is the prayer You taught St. Faustina and what You want most from us! Lord pour out Your Mercy on us as we learn to trust You and love You more and more each day!

Monday In The Octave of Easter

Go Tell

Make public all that I tell

you now: Make the sign of the Cross five times while thinking of

My Sacred Wounds. (Jesus) (April 8, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb,
fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce the news to his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.
Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me.” (Matthew 28)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we see the Holy Women, and we can marvel at their faithfulness. Rewarded for their faith, they are fearful and overjoyed as they gaze at the empty tomb. And then there You are and You tell them not to be afraid but to go tell the Apostles what they have seen. Lord, even in hard times, we know that You are the Risen Lord who tells us not to be afraid. And you so want us to tell others about the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). That You died for us so that if we repent and believe in our hearts, we can attain salvation, a free gift of Your Amazing Grace! (Romans 10:9). So, Lord, let us run like those faithful women to tell our brothers and sisters the good news of the Gospel- whether it be by word or by our loving actions toward others because He is Risen and He Lives!

How the true Resurrection consists in rising again in the Divine Will. How nothing is denied to one who lives in It.

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
And behold, there was a great earthquake;
for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
His appearance was like lightning
and his clothing was white as snow.
The guards were shaken with fear of him
and became like dead men.
Then the angel said to the women in reply,
“Do not be afraid!
I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. (Matthew 28)

Volume 36, April 20, 1938

After this, I continued my round in everything that Our Lord did on earth, and I paused in the act of the Resurrection. What triumph, what glory. Heaven poured Itself upon earth to be spectator of such a great glory. And my beloved Jesus continued: “My daughter, in my Resurrection the right was given to creatures to rise again in Me to new life. It was the confirmation, the seal of my whole life, of my works, of my words, and of the fact that if I came upon earth it was to give Myself to each and every one as Life belonging to them. My Resurrection was the triumph of all and the new conquest that all were making of He who had died for all, to give them life and make them rise again in my own Resurrection. But do you want to know where is the real resurrection of the creature? Not at the end of time, but while she is still living on earth. One who lives in my Will rises again to light and can say: ‘My night is over.’ She rises again in the Love of her Creator, in such a way that there is no more cold or frost for her, but she feels the smile of the Heavenly Spring; she rises again to sanctity, which puts to rushed flight all weaknesses, miseries and passions; she rises again to all that is Heaven, and if she looks at the earth, heavens and sun, she does so to find the works of her Creator – to have the occasion to narrate to Him His glory and His long love story.
Therefore, one who lives in my Will can say, as the Angel said to the holy women when they went to the sepulcher: ‘He is risen, He is not here any more.’ One who lives in my Will can likewise say: ‘My will is not with me any longer – it is risen again in the Fiat.’ And if the circumstances of life, the occasions, the pains, surround the creature as though looking for her will, she can answer: ‘My will is risen again, it is not in my power anymore. I possess in exchange the
Divine Will, and with Its Light I want to invest all things around me – circumstances and pains – to make of them as many divine conquests.’ The soul who lives in Our Will finds life in the acts of her Jesus, and Our operating, conquering, triumphant Will always runs within her. She gives Us so much glory that Heaven cannot contain it. Therefore, live always in Our Will – never go out of It, if you want to be Our triumph and Our glory.”Fiat!

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we praise You, we love You and we adore You for rising from the dead just as You said! O Lord, may our nights be over as we enter the glorious resurrected day of the Divine Will even in our circumstances and pains.

The Resurrection Of The Lord- The Mass Of Easter Day

We Sing Alleluia- Because He Lives

Why do you think that I am far away, in the heights above you? Really, I am standing right now next to you. (Jesus) (April 7, 1965)

Today’s Readings-

Brothers and sisters:

If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,

where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ your life appears,

then you too will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord we are Easter people and we sing Alleluia! Let us fix our eyes above on You. the Risen One, who is not distant from us and has never left us or forsaken us but who walks with us every day! Because You Live O Lord- we can face tomorrow!

Twenty-fourth Hour: From 4 to 5 PM The Burial of Jesus. Desolated Mary Most Holy.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. ⁴² So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. (John 19:41-42)

Hours of the Passion

And now, Desolate Mama, I thank You in the name of all for everything You have suffered; and I pray You, for the sake of Your bitter desolation, to come to my assistance at the moment of my death. When I find myself alone and abandoned by all, in the midst of a thousand anxieties and fears—come then, to return to me the company that I have given You many times in life. Come to my assistance; place Yourself beside me, and put the enemy to flight. Wash my soul with Your tears, cover me with the Blood of Jesus, clothe me with His Merits, embellish me and heal me with Your Sorrows and with all the Pains and Works of Jesus; and by virtue of them, let all my sins disappear, giving me total forgiveness. And as I breathe my last, receive me into Your arms, place me under Your mantle, hide me from the gaze of the enemy, take me straight to Heaven, and place me in the arms of Jesus. Let us make this agreement, my Dear Mama!
And now, I pray you to return the company I have given You to all those who are agonizing. Be the Mama of all; these are extreme moments, and great aids are needed. Therefore, do not deny Your Maternal Office to anyone.
One last word: as I leave You, I pray you to enclose me in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus; and You, my Sorrowful Mama, be my Sentry, so that Jesus may not put me out of it; and I, even if I wanted, may not be able to leave. So I kiss Your Maternal hand; and You, bless me.

Prayer Meditation- O Blessed Mother, we love You and thank You for all that You suffered for us- please lead us Sorrowful Mother always to Jesus and enclose us in His Sacred Heart!

Holy Saturday

All Who Are Thirsty

While we were eating our bread, He allowed me to feel His inner emotions and He breathed His words full of grace into my soul. Jesus said, “May our souls be in harmony. In this way, our hands will gather in unity. (Elizabeth) (October 18,1962)

Today’s Readings:

Thus, says the LORD:

All you who are thirsty,

come to the water!

You who have no money,

come, receive grain and eat;

come, without paying and without cost,

drink wine and milk!

Why spend your money for what is not bread,

your wages for what fails to satisfy? (Isaiah 55)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, only You can fill us with Your Living Water- why do we chase after anything else but Your Daily Bread? Your Presence living in us is all that satisfies- as we review our salvation history at the Easter Vigil let our hearts burn within us for the God who burns with love for us!

The Nineteenth Hour: From 11 AM to 12 PM Jesus is Crucified

He was despised and rejected by men;
    a man of sorrows,  and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
    he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions,
    he was bruised for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:3-5)

Second Part: Jesus Crucified.
With Him we disarm Divine Justice

My Good Jesus, I see that Your enemies lift the heavy wood of the Cross and let It drop into the hole they had prepared; and You, my Sweet Love, remain suspended between Heaven and earth. In this solemn moment, You turn to the Father, and with weak and feeble voice, You say to Him, “Holy Father, here I am, loaded down with all the sins of the world. There is not one sin which does not pour upon Me; therefore, no longer unload the scourges of Your Divine Justice upon man, but upon Me, Your Son. O Father, allow Me to bind all souls to this Cross, and to plead Forgiveness for them with the voices of My Blood and of My Wounds. O Father, do You not see how I have reduced Myself? By this Cross, by virtue of these pains, concede true conversion, Peace, Forgiveness and Sanctity to all. Arrest Your fury against poor humanity, against My children. They are blind, and know not what they are doing. Therefore look well at Me, how I have reduced Myself because of them; if You are not moved to compassion for them, may You at least be softened by this Face of Mine, dirtied with spit, covered with Blood, bruised and swollen by the so many slaps and blows received. Have pity, My Father! I was the most beautiful of all, and now I am all disfigured, to the point that I no longer recognize Myself. I have become the abject of all; and so, at any cost, I want to save the poor creature!”
My Jesus, how is it possible that You Love us so much? Your Love crushes my poor heart. O, I would want to go into the midst of all creatures to show this Face of Yours, so disfigured because of them, to move them to compassion for their own souls and for Your Love; and with the Light which emanates from Your Face, and with the enrapturing Power of Your Love, make them understand Who You are, and who they are, who dare to offend You, so that they may prostrate themselves before You, to adore You and glorify You.

Prayer Meditation- O Lord this Good Friday You gave all to save us! Amazing love how can it be, that You My King would die for me? We love You, we praise You and we love You and we adore You for all that do not love You, praise You, love You, and adore You! Jesus we love You!

Good Friday

Washed by the Blood of The Lamb

Let my Precious Blood fall upon you. My drops of Blood are a bank check. The check is valid until the end of the world. The soul in God’s grace can cash it at any time before their death. Each soul must use this check as frequently as possible. It is the ransom paid by my Precious Blood. (Jesus) (February 22, 1964)

Today’s Readings:

Yet it was our infirmities that he bore,

our sufferings that he endured,

while we thought of him as stricken,

as one smitten by God and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our offenses,

crushed for our sins;

upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole,

by his stripes we were healed.

We had all gone astray like sheep,

each following his own way;

but the LORD laid upon him

the guilt of us all. (Isaiah 53)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord we have all gone astray like sheep, yet no matter how many times we fall You are there to pick us up- there is no limit to Your Love, Mercy, and Forgiveness! Let us go boldly to the Throne of Grace and never hurt You with our distrust in Your Mercy! O Jesus, Let the healing rain of Your Precious Blood fall on us- O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus- we trust in You!

Fourth Hour: From 8 to 9 PM The Eucharistic Supper

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” (Matthew 26:26)

Hours of the Passion

My Heart and my Life, Jesus, this appearance of Yours, never before seen, draws the attention of all the apostles. They are caught by a sweet enchantment and do not dare even to breathe. Your Sweet Mama runs in spirit to the foot of the altar, to admire the portents of Your Love. The Angels descend from Heaven, asking themselves, “What is this? What is this? These are true follies, true excesses! A God who Creates, not heaven or earth, but Himself. And where? In the most wretched matter of a little bread and a little wine.”
But while they are all around You, O insatiable Love, I see that You take the bread in Your hands; You offer it to the Father, and I hear Your most sweet voice say, “Holy Father, thanks be to You, for always answering Your Son. Holy Father, concur with Me. One day, You sent Me from Heaven to earth to be Incarnated in the Womb of My Mama, to come and save Our children. Now, allow Me to be Incarnated in each Host, to continue their salvation and be Life of each one of My children. Do You see, O Father? Few hours of My Life are left; who would have the heart to leave My children orphaned and alone? Many are their enemies—the obscurities, the passions, the weaknesses to which they are subject. Who will help them? O please, I supplicate You to let Me stay in each Host, to be Life of each one, and therefore put to flight their enemies; to be their Light, Strength and Help in everything. Otherwise, where shall they go? Who will help them? Our Works are Eternal, My Love is irresistible—I cannot leave My children, nor do I want to.”
The Father is moved at the tender and affectionate voice of the Son. He descends from Heaven; He is already on the altar, and united with the Holy Spirit, concurs with the Son. And Jesus, with sonorous and moving voice, pronounces the words of the Consecration, and without leaving Himself, Creates Himself in that bread and wine.
Then You communicate Your apostles, and I believe that our Celestial Mama did not remain without receiving You. Ah, Jesus, the Heavens bow down and all send to You an act of adoration in Your new state of profound annihilation.

Prayer Meditation- O My Jesus, we love You, we adore You and we thank You on this Holy Thursday for the Institution of the Eucharist- how can we ever thank You enough for the gift of Your Self broken for us. My Jesus never leave us and never let us go!

Holy Thursday

The God Who Washes Our Feet- Loving Us To The End

Mary: “My little one, Thursdays and Fridays should be considered

as great days of grace. Those who offer reparation to my Divine

Son on these days will receive a great grace. During the hours

of reparation, the power of Satan will weaken to the degree that

those making reparation pray for sinners.(Mary) (September 29, 1962)

Today’s Readings: “Do you realize what I have done for you?

You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.

If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet,

you ought to wash one another’s feet.

I have given you a model to follow,

so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord on this Holy Thursday let us meditate deeply on Your love for us and model that love for others. Let us be cleansed by You so we can serve others. Let us also keep You company tonight at least one hour and make reparation for those who do not know You and love You- You gave everything for our salvation, let us give just a little back to participate in Your saving work.
