And he said to them, 'I have longed to eat this passover with you before I suffer; because I tell you, I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God'. Then taking a cup, he gave thanks and said,'Take this and share it among you, because from now on I shall not drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.' Then he took some bread, and when he had given thanks, broke it and gave it to them saying, 'This is my body which will be given for you; do this as a memorial of me.'

Not a day goes by without somebody doing or saying something that evokes in us the need to form an opinion about them. We hear a lot, see a lot, and know a lot. The idea that we have to sort it all out in our minds and make judgments about it is an idea we are born with. The ancient fathers said that judging others is a heavy burden, whereas being judged by them is a light one. Once we can let go of our need to judge others, we experience an incredible freedom. We are free to receive mercy, for Jesus said,
2007-03-28 SO LET US COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF OUR GRACIOUS GOD HEBREWS 4:16 Nothing is more important than your concept of God
2007-03-27 MIRIAM... BEGAN TO TALK AGAINST MOSES...AND THE LORD HEARD THIS. NUMBERS 12:1-2 When Miriam criticized Moses, God smote her with leprosy. Notice three things: 1) not one of us is immune! Miriam was very godly; not only had she saved Moses' life as a child, she also repeated the song of worship to celebrate Israel's crossing of the Red Sea. So we never become so spiritually advanced as to be incapable of a critical attitude. 2) sometimes what we focus on isn't the real issue! Listen: 'Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married' (Numbers 12:1 NAS). But was that the real issue? No, listen: 'And they said, "Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?"' (Numbers 12:2 NAS). Moses' wife was the surface issue; the real issue was Moses' prominence. Their complaint was, 'How come he gets all the attention?' Look out! When there's competitiveness in your attitude or resentment in your heart, there'll be criticism on your lips. 3) doing God's will doesn't guarantee immunity! Listen: 'Moses was very humble, more than any man...on the face of the earth' (Numbers 12:3 NAS). Yet even he couldn't escape the pain of self-appointed critics attacking the work he was doing for God. Only when Aaron acknowledged, '...we have acted foolishly...we have sinned' (Numbers 12:11 NAS), did God show mercy and heal Miriam of her leprosy. Now we'd rather reclassify criticism as a weakness, but from God's perspective it's a sin, a genuine, bona fide registered sin! And there's only one way to deal with sin - repent and stop practising it.

2007-03-18 "Today bring to me souls who have become lukewarm and immerse them in the abyss of my mercy. These souls wound my Heart most painfully. My soul sufferered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: "Father, take this cup away from me, if it be Your will". For them the last hope of salvation is to run to my mercy."
2007-03-17 "Today bring to me the souls who are detained in purgatory and immerse them in the abyss of my mercy. Let the torrents of my Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are really loved by me. They are making retribution to my justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all indulgences from the treasury of my Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt for my justice."
2007-03-16 "Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify my mercy and immerse them in my mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my passion and entered most deeply into my spirit. They are living images of my compassionate heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."
2007-03-15 Divine Mercy Novena - Sixth Day "Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children and immerse them in my mercy. These souls most closely resemble my Heart. They strengthened me during my bitter agony. I saw them as earthly angels, who will keep vigil at my altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving my grace. I favour humble souls with my confidence."
2007-03-14 Divine Mercy Novena - Fifth Day "Today bring to me the souls who have separated from my Church and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. During my bitter passion they tore at my body and Heart, that is, my Church. As they return to unity with the Church, my wounds heal, and in this way they alleviate my passion."
2007-03-13 "Today bring to me those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know me. I was thinking also of them during my bitter passion, and their future zeal comforted my heart. Immerse them in the ocean of my mercy."
2007-03-12 Divine Mercy Novena - Third Day "Today bring to me all devout and faithful souls and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."
2007-03-11 Divine Mercy Novena - Second Day "Today bring to me the souls of Priests and Religious and immerse them in my unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave me strength to endure my bitter passion. Through them, as though channels, my mercy flows out upon mankind."
2007-03-10 "Today bring to me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. In this way you will console me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges me."
2007-03-09 Sr. Faustina received instructions on how to make this Novena: "During these nine days I want you to lead souls to the Fount of My Mercy, in order that they may draw from it strength, refreshment and all the graces they need in the trials of their lives, especially at the hour of death. Each day you will lead a different group of souls and immerse them in the sea of My Mercy. Each day You will beseech the Father through My Bitter Passion for graces for these souls." This Novena can be made at any time, but Our Lord especially wished that it be made beginning Good Friday in preparation for the Feast of His Mercy, which should be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. He told her that: "The souls that will go to confession, in preparation, and communion on this day will obtain a complete remission of all sin and all punishment. .... On each day You will bring to My Heart a different group of souls and You will immerse them in this ocean of My Mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the House of My Father ... on each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My Bitter Passion, for graces for these souls." Open each day with the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy then say the prayer for the day's intention.
2007-03-08 Our Blessed Lord gave Sr. Faustina (for herself only initially) a Novena to His Mercy. She was to start it on Good Friday, that wonderful day when Christ first revealed how merciful and loving He was, by dying for us. Sr. Faustina wrote in her diary that she began the Novena for the conversion of the whole world that all may recognise God's Mercy and that all souls may speak of His Goodness. Jesus said: "I desire the confidence of My people. Let not even the weak and very sinful fear to approach Me, even if their sins be as numerous as all the sands of the earth they will be forgiven in the fathomless pit of My Mercy."
2007-03-07 Our Lord said to the servant of God, Sr. Faustina: "Unceasingly recite this chaplet that I have taught you. Whover will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death ... Priests will recommend it to sinners as a last hope of salvation. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this chaplet even once, will receive grace from my infinite mercy. Oh, what graces I will grant souls who will recite this chaplet... By means of it you can ask and obtain anything if what you ask will be compatible with my will.... I want the whole world to know my infinite mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in my mercy... You will recite this chaplet on the beads of the Rosary in the folowing manner: First of all you will say one OUR FATHER, one HAIL MARY, and the I BELIEVE IN GOD". This little chaplet takes less than fifteen minutes to recite and is a most powerful prayer in times of need or praying especially for someone else. It can be said on the Rosary beads or any way in which you feel comfortable praying it. Many of you reading this are not Catholic but I would encourage you to recite the prayers of the Chaplet which suit you most.
2007-03-06 On the 15th of April, 1978, the Holy See, after a thorough examination of original documents previously unavailable to it, completely reversed its decision and again permitted the devotion. The one man principally responsible for the reversal was Karol Wojtyla, the Archbishop of Sr. Faustina's home diocese. On October 16th, 1978, he was elevated to the See of St. Peter as Pope John Paul II. This brief history does not pretend to explain all, nor to advance the judgement of the Church. There are two sets of prayers that we can say for these intentions - The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy and the Novena to the Divine Mercy. Our Lord asked that the Novena to the Divine Mercy commence on Good Friday for nine days culminating with the celebration on Divine Mercy Sunday - the Sunday after Easter. This wonderful and most powerful prayer form and devotion has spread to all corners of the world. Whether you are Catholic or Orthodox, Protestant or even non-Christian - seeking the Divine Mercy of God is a prayer we can all say. Please start with the prayer below and join us each day seeking the Lord's Mercy on us and others.
2007-03-05 We are not only to receive the mercy of God, but to use it by being merciful to others through our actions, our words, and our prayers by practicing the Corporal Works of Mercy - feeding the hungry, giving drink to those who thirst, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, comforting the prisoner, visiting the sick, burying the dead. The Spiritual Works of Mercy are teaching the ignorant, praying for the living and dead, correcting sinners, counselling those in doubt, consoling the sorrowful, bearing wrongs patiently, and forgiving wrongs willingly. The Lord wants us to do these works of mercy because even the strongest faith is useless without works. In 1935 Sr. Faustina wrote for her Spiritual Director: "The time will come when this work which God so commends, (will be) as though in complete ruin, and suddenly the action of God will come upon the scene with real power which will bear witness to the truth. It will be as a new splendour for the church, though it had for some time been dormant in it". This indeed came to pass. On the 6th March 1959, the Holy See, acting on information that was innacurately presented, prohibited "the spreading of images and writings advocating devotion to the Divine Mercy in the form proposed by Sr. Faustina." As a result, there followed almost twenty years of total silence.
2007-03-04 The message of Divine Mercy is at the heart of the gospel and presents the truth and the call of the gospel "....to introduce into life the mystery of mercy, supremely revealed in Jesus Christ." from Rich in Mercy, an encyclical by Pope John Paul II. What God wants most is for us to turn to Him with trust. To trust God and to rely on Him who is mercy itself, knowing that He is God, and that He loves us and cares for us. By placing our trust in Him we receive His infinite and merciful love. Jesus wants to have mercy on all of us but He waits for us to turn to Him in trust, never taking over our gift of free will. He particularly wants sinners to turn to Him in complete trust, repenting of any wrongdoing. Repeatedly He emphasised to Sr. Faustina that He is more generous towards sinners than towards the just, reminding us of His words in the gospel: "Those who are well do not need the physician, but sick people do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice', I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." (Mt. 9:12-13). His mercy to us is infinite no matter what we have done or how black our sin may be and leaving us filled with much anxiety and fear. He constantly stresses that He will never reject a repentant heart, never refuse an appeal to His mercy.
2007-03-03 From the day of her first encounter with Jesus Sr. Faustina kept a diary and in all there were over 600 pages of personal experiences, reflections, prayers, revelations and mystical insights. The main message is that God is merciful, that He is Love itself poured out for us, and that He wants all of us to turn to Him with trust and repentance while there is still time. God's mercy has been shown to us from early Old Testament times - Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and many others. God continues to speak His words of Mercy even to our generation, through the Church and its shepherds, through holy men and women - mystics - whom God has chosen as His vessels. He called Sr. Faustina to be His secretary and apostle of His mercy, revealing to her the desires of His merciful Heart - the way He wants us to respond to His mercy - promising us specific graces if we would but honour and proclaim His Mercy.
