Day 2 of Divine Mercy

Second Day

Today bring to Me

THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS,

and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of the chosen ones in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

Next pray the Chaplet, if no rosary available, try it online at www.praydivinemercy.com/

Jessica, at http://showerofroses.blogspot.com/ has a wonderful Good Friday homily posted at her blog. She is one of my new favorites. At the end of the homily, the priest quotes St Alphonsus Liguori: "My despised Jesus, nail my heart to the cross that it may always remain there to love you and never leave You again."
