(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
It is actually quite consoling to have someone with whom you
can reveal the depths of your soul. This
sort of confidant is a great blessing when absolute confidentiality, mercy and
understanding are offered. Speaking even
of your sins without hesitation can bring much healing when the person with
whom we share these things responds with perfect love and is able to offer you
the Mercy of God. We all need such a
confidant. But in truth we do! We have the priest, waiting for us in the
glorious Sacrament of Reconciliation.
His confidentiality is certain, his compassion and mercy is offered and
the forgiveness and Mercy of God is poured forth upon the deepest and darkest
secrets in your heart. Do not hesitate
and do not delay in going to Confession.
You need this gift from our Lord and He will bless you with an abundance
of His Mercy through it (See Diary #1464).
Reflect honestly upon the deepest and “darkest” sin in your
heart. What is it that you fear
revealing the most? The Lord desperately
desires to enter into that darkness and bring the healing balm of His light and
Mercy. Do let Him in through the
Sacrament of Reconciliation. The power
of this Sacrament is unmatched and is exactly what you need to begin your
healing and to be set free from your burdens.
Do not fear it and do not put it off.
Make an act of faith today in this glorious Sacrament and you will be
amazed at the effect that it has on your life.
Lord, please give me
courage to confess my sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please also give me the wisdom to know that
this is among Your greatest gifts. In
this Sacrament I encounter Your Mercy to the greatest degree. Thank You, dear Lord, for this priceless
gift. Jesus, I trust in You.
