The Treasure of Grace
Today I saw the Crucified Lord Jesus. Precious pearls and diamonds were pouring forth from the wound in His Heart. I saw how a multitude of souls was gathering these gifts, but there was one soul who was closest to His Heart and she, knowing the greatness of these gifts, was gathering them with liberality, not only for herself, but for others as well. The Savior said to me, Behold, the treasures of grace that flow down upon souls, but not all souls know how to take advantage of My generosity (Diary, 1687).
My Prayer Response:
Thank You, Jesus, for teaching us through St. Faustina that Your graces flow like "precious pearls and diamonds" from the wound in Your Heart. Teach us how to take advantage of Your generosity and gather Your graces for ourselves and for others.

"The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace." — St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta |
