Friday's Mercy Minutes...

Divine Mercy Daily Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska Friday, November 20 Suffering for Souls When Sufferings Are Great My daughter, know that if I allow you to feel and have a more profound knowledge of My sufferings, that is a grace from Me. But when your mind is dimmed and your sufferings are great, it is then that you take an active part in My Passion, and I am conforming you more fully to Myself. It is your task to submit yourself to My will at such times, more than at others ... (Diary, 1697). My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, when things get tough and I get fatigued and my mind is dimmed and the sufferings are great — help me at such times to submit to Your will even more! At just such times, may I take an active part in Your Passion. NOVEMBER 20, 2020 "Can there be a more fitting pursuit in youth or a more valuable possession in old age than a knowledge of Holy Scripture? In the midst of storms it will preserve you from the dangers of shipwreck 'and guide you to the shore of an enchanting paradise and the ever-lasting bliss of the angels." — St. Boniface
