Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska
Monday, May 8 Meditate upon My Passion A Share in My Joy and Glory The Resurrection. Today, during the [Mass of the] Resurrection, I saw the Lord Jesus in the midst of a great light. He approached me and said, Peace be to you, My children, and He lifted up His hand and gave His blessing. The wounds in His hands, feet, and side were indelible and shining. When He looked at me with such kindness and love, my whole soul drowned itself in Him. And He said to me, You have taken a great part in My Passion; therefore I now give you a great share in My joy and glory. The whole time of the Resurrection [Mass] seemed like only a minute to me. A wondrous recollection filled my soul and lasted throughout the whole festal season. The kindness of Jesus is so great that I cannot express it (Diary, 205).
My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, I gaze upon You as the Risen Lord through the eyes of St. Faustina — and I contemplate the victory of Your Passion, death, and Resurrection over sin, death, and Satan. May I live in that victory!
