"Jesus, I trust in You!"...

“Let your heart ever belong to God through 
purity of intention, attachment to His love, 
and confidence in His divine mercy. 
… You must reach the point where 
Jesus is sufficient to you.”
 - St. Peter Julian Eymard

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

"Let no one mourn 
that he has fallen again and again; 
for forgiveness has risen from the grave." 
St John Chrysostom



Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (#10):

"Especially from the Eucharist,
grace is poured forth upon us
as from a fountain."

First Mass of St John of Malta

 "O what awesome mysteries 
take place during Mass! ... 
One day we will know 
what God is doing for us in each Mass, 
and what sort of gift He is preparing in it for us.  

Only His divine love could permit 
that such a gift be provided for us ... 
this fountain of life gushing forth 
with such sweetness and power (914) ...

"O living Host, my one and only strength, 
fountain of  love and mercy, 
embrace the whole world, fortify faint souls.  
Oh, blessed be the instant and the moment 
when Jesus left us His most merciful Heart!" (223).

St Maria Faustina Kowalska

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony. - Psalm 6:2

   "No traveling soul can worthily love its God, but when this soul
does everything it possibly can, and trusts in divine mercy
why should Jesus reject it?  Didn't He command us to love God in
accordance with our strength?  When you have given and
consecrated everything to God, why do you fear?" - St Pio (1916)

“Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His Love
and the future to His Providence. ”- St. Augustine

 "Pray with great confidence, with confidence based upon the
goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of
Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly 
into the hearts of those who pray."- St. Louis de Montfort
Jesus, I trust in You!

Remembering Pope Benedict XVI
Anniversary of his birth today

"The Lord took his wounds with him to eternity.  He is a 
wounded God; He let himself be injured through his love for us. 
... These wounds of his:  how tangible they are to us 
in the history of our time!  Indeed, time and again, 
he allows himself to be wounded for our sake.  What certainty 
of his mercy, what consolation do his wounds mean to us! 
 ... And what a duty they are for us, the duty to allow ourselves 
in turn be wounded for him!"  
(Homily on Divine Mercy Sunday 2007)
