Sunday's Mercy Minutes...

The Light of Holiness   Meditation: Chosen souls are, in My hand, lights which I cast into the darkness of the world and with which I illumine it. As stars illumine the night, so chosen souls illumine the earth. And the more perfect a soul is, the stronger and the more far-reaching is the light shed by it. It can be hidden and unknown, even to those closest to it, and yet its holiness is reflected in souls even to the most distant extremities of the world (Diary, 1601). My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, You told us through St. John: “I am the light of the world. No follower of Mine shall ever walk in darkness; no, he shall possess the light of life” ( Jn 8:12). And so You also taught us: “You are the light of the world” (Mt 5:14). Thank You for teaching us through St. Faustina that the greater the sanctity of souls, the more the light of holiness is reflected around the world. *Diary passages with bolded words are Jesus speaking
