Meditation of the Day – His Heart Overflows with Great Mercy

“My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow My graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them. You, at least, come to Me as often as possible and take these graces they do not want to accept. In this way you will console My Heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of love! My Heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world. They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to Me for graces.”— St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, p. 367

Minute Meditation – Hearts on Fire

Franciscan prayer, lived to its full, is to set the human heart on fire. It is to transform one’s body into a body of love and one’s actions into actions of love. In this transformation is the fire that can set the earth ablaze — the fire of light, peace, justice, unity and dignity. It is to see the wounds of suffering humanity and bind them with mercy and compassion. It is to see and feel for all creation — to love by way of self-gift. It is to live in the mystery of Christ, the mystery of God enfleshed.

— from the book Franciscan Prayer by Ilia Delio, OSF

Minute Meditation: God is Ever-Faithful

When the heart rebels and says, “I will reach out for love wherever it may be found,” and the mind echoes, “Yes, and I will not see,” and the conscience says, “I don’t care anymore,” then memory rises like a bright and redeeming sun and says, “Yes, but you have been here before and God saved you in the nick of time. God comes if you ask just one more time, remember?” And again it is memory that cries aloud, “God is faithful and will not abandon those who trust in God.” And the past is made present through memory’s alchemy. This saves us time and again, and we praise and thank God who gives us the past to make the present a wise and redemptive future.
