Heal my tongue When I receive Holy Communion, I entreat and beg the Savior to heal my tongue, that I may never fail in love of neighbor.  JUNE 21, 2019 "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." — St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

All the good that is in me All the good that is in me is due to Holy Communion. I owe everything to it. I feel that this holy fire has transformed me completely. Oh, how happy I am to be a dwelling place for You, O Lord! My heart is a temple in which You dwell continually.  (Diary 1392) JUNE 20, 2019 "If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament of the Eucharist, I am sure that the thought of Christ's love for us would transform the coldness of our hearts into a fire of love and gratitude."  — St. Angela of Foligno

My heart is a living tabernacle Today, I have come to understand many of God's mysteries. I have come to know that Holy Communion remains in me until the next Holy Communion. A vivid and clearly felt presence of God continues in my soul. The awareness of this plunges me into deep recollection, without the slightest effort on my part. My heart is a living tabernacle in which the living Host is reserved. I have never sought God in some far-off place, but within myself. It is in the depths of my own being that I commune with my God.  JUNE 19, 2019 "You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them."  — St. Therese of Lisieux

Happy Tesday evening!

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't written a new blog for some time, but some days, I just don't know where my day goes.  Although I will admit that I have been working diligently on my new novel.  It's finished and I completed two proof reads, which isn't easy to do.

You see, when most folks read a book, we 'surface' read.  This means that we don't always see every letter in a word or do we actually read every word.  So, when I proof read, I need to read every word out loud, so I can tell if each sentence makes sense or not.  It is time consuming and I can only do it if I say each word, out loud.  Even then, some times I slip back into 'surface' reading.

I need to get it ready to send to the printers, but I've been a bit stressed about a water leak we have in our home, so I thought I should wait to try to download my manuscript to their web site, at least for a short amount of time, yet.

I hope you've all been well and that you are putting Jesus into your daily lives.  As I'm sure many of you already know, I post the Divine Mercy Daily Minutes, every day, here on my blog.  I am so happy that so many of you are reading them daily.  I have  my Daily Mercy Minutes book, which I read each morning, before I eat breakfast.  They mean so much to me and I rarely skip reading them.  Of course, I also get them in an email, daily.

I hope you all are well and that your week is going well.  Take care and remember to thank God for all His many, many blessing on all of us!  May He bless you and your family, always.
Susan

Mercy |  Chaplet  |  Feast of Mercy   |  Petition  |  Book Shop Your love compensates Me for the coldness of many souls Today, in Holy Communion, I want to unite myself to Jesus as closely as possible, through love. I yearn for God so ardently that it seems to me that the moment will never come when the priest will give me Holy Communion. My soul falls as if into a swoon because of my longing for God. When I received Him into my heart, the veil of faith was torn away. I saw Jesus who said to me, "My daughter, your love compensates Me for the coldness of many souls". After these words, I was once again alone, but throughout the whole day I lived in an act of reparation.  JUNE 18, 2019 "Seeing the sun, the moon and the stars, I said to myself, ‘Who could be the Master of these beautiful things?’ I felt a great desire to see him, to know him and to pay him homage."

So approach this fountain of mercy often, to draw with the vessel of trust whatever you need"  JUNE 17, 2019 "In the first place it should be known that if a person is seeking God, his beloved is seeking him much more."  — St. John of the Cross

Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Sunday, June 16

The United Heart of Jesus and St. Faustina
My Agonizing Heart

“Jesus, I beg You, by the inconceivable power of Your mercy, that all the souls who will die today escape the fire of hell, even if they have been the greatest sinners. Today is Friday, the memorial of Your bitter agony on the Cross; because Your mercy is inconceivable, the Angels will not be surprised at this.” Jesus pressed me to His Heart and said, My beloved daughter, you have come to know well the depths of My mercy. I will do what you ask, but unite yourself continually with My agonizing Heart and make reparation to My justice. Know that you have asked Me for a great thing, but I see that this was dictated by your pure love for Me; that is why I am complying with your requests

"Each of you knows that the foundation of our faith is charity. Without it, our religion would crumble. We will never be truly Catholic unless we conform our entire lives to the two commandments that are the essence of the Catholic faith: to love the Lord, our God, with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves." — Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
