"Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead." ‭John‬ ‭21:13-14‬

I had an opportunity to look back on my life over the past 10 years yesterday.   It was a pretty powerful experience, do you know that God revealed himself in all those years even though at the time I didn't know it.  Jesus is always there ready to feed us but we have to be present to Him.  He is the Risen Christ, whom we recognize in the breaking of the bread, He is present are you present to Him.  Sitting with Christ, speaking with Him and then listening is a great way to start the day.   

Dear Father God, I smell the fish, I hear the bread being torn.  I hear the sounds of friends laughing and sharing each other's company.  Thank You for inviting me into that scene and being a part of it.   I heard your message and am doing what You ask.  Bless this day with me always being in Your presence.  Fill our hearts with peace as You always tell us, "peace be with You."  Overcome what ever challenges comes our way and may we always remain close to Your fire to feed us.  You amaze me God, always out in front of all my situations.  In the name of Jesus, Amen.  

Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Divine Mercy Chaplet Eighth Day

 

Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice(Diary, 1226). 

 

My Prayer Response with St. Faustina:

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised (Diary, 1227).
