(A Daily Reflection on
Divine Mercy)
When you look at the desire in your heart, what stands out the most? Certainly there are many things that draw you. Many worldly rewards and pleasures can easily occupy your longings. A desire for physical pleasure, money and worldly success are among the strongest desires for many. The single desire you should have is a desire to Love God. From that desire you will also love others and you will find that your love of God is fulfilled by a deep longing to bring other souls to God’s Mercy. Do you desire this? Do you long to help others experience the tender Heart of our Lord, to know His compassion and to experience His Mercy? If you have completely given yourself to the love of God then God will accept you and send you forth as His missionary of Mercy, searching for souls who are hungry for His love. Allow yourself to be consumed with this passion and the Lord will use you in marvelous ways (See Diary #1426).
Reflect upon the desires of
your heart this day. Do not be afraid to
admit to what is there. Whatever you see
you must confront and place in the hands of God. His Mercy must become a consuming fire in
your soul, burning away all that is not of Him.
When this happens, you will find a new desire placed in your heart by
God. It will be a desire for the
salvation of many souls. Let yourself
receive this desire from our Lord and allow this desire to direct you in the
Lord’s work of Divine Mercy.
Lord,
I burn with a desire for many things.
Most of them I must humbly admit are not from You. Please purify my heart, dear Lord, and make
me holy. Help me to love You with a
perfect passion and from that love may I have a great desire for the souls of
others. I love You, dear Lord, please
increase that love. Jesus, I trust in
You.
