(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
It’s important to know that Jesus has every right to bring forth His justice here and now. He has every right to be severe with us on account of our sins and to bring eternal judgment upon us. This truth is often forgotten on account of His Mercy. But we should never forget this fact. It’s important to remember this because unless we understand the absolute right that God has to execute swift and irrevocable judgment on the world, we will never understand that His restraint is an act of immeasurable Mercy. The Mother of God is especially entrusted with the responsibility of praying for His Mercy and pleading on our behalf that her Son’s wrath be withheld. God gave to her this responsibility of intercession for us and He listens to those prayers. He also calls each one of us to pray for Mercy in the world and, though our prayers are not as powerful as the Mother of God, they can be if we place them in her Immaculate Heart. Giving our Blessed Mother our prayers magnifies their power and transforms them into an instrument of unfathomable grace, holding back the hand of the Justice of God (See Diary #1261).

Do you understand the right that God has to bring sudden and
severe judgment upon you? That may not
be pleasant to think about but it’s important to understand. Ponder this fact today. Believe it and know that He withholds His
judgment on account of His Mercy. Seek
the prayers of our Blessed Mother, this day, and offer her your own
prayers. Through your prayers, offered
through her intercession, God’s justice is withheld and His Mercy will be
bestowed in our time.
Dearest Mother, I offer
you, this day, all my prayers, works and sacrifices so that you may in turn
offer them to Your Son. Please pray for
me and for all your children that the justice of Your Son will be withheld as
His Mercy is poured forth. Jesus, I
trust in You.
