#372 Sunday, Apr. 12/15, 3:20pm , St. Theresa’s, before Blessed Sacrament on Divine Mercy Sunday (Share My Mercy)
Oh sweet Jesus.
You have come with Mercy.
You give Mercy and You invite us to share Mercy with others.
How abundant Your Mercy is!
How gentle and subtle Your Mercy is!
How marvelous Your Mercy is!
How needed your Mercy is!
Grant us Lord the Grace to receive your Mercy and then willingly pass it on.
Stand in awe of My Mercy because you will not see it in action at all times, yet know it is in action working gently on hearts that so desperately need it.
You have to believe and trust in My Mercy otherwise you will flounder when times get tough.
See that I am Merciful on those you dearly love, see that I am Merciful on those you may not hold in very high esteem!
Understand that My Mercy falls on all – not just the good and just. It falls most willingly on ALL.
Do you not think that those who are struggling with their spiritual life do not need My Mercy?
You see I did not say those who are bad, because really what makes us bad is a wrong relationship with Me. i.e. You do not have a healthy spirituality.
Now you may say that some people are good and yet may not be Church goers.
I tell you they still know and follow Me by their good thoughts and deeds.
Hush your mind from wondering who is good or ‘just’ enough to gain My Mercy.
You are all sinners. So I have come to treat those who have sinned and My Medicine is Mercy.
You know when you are sick you can’t help others, yet when the medicine you take makes you better, you reach out to help others.
That is why I pour My Mercy over you all. You need to be made better, so you can be better to others.
If I withheld My Mercy because I felt you did not deserve it, then how would you ever be able to do enough to look right in My Eyes?
My Mercy flows freely from My Sacred Heart and is directed and sometimes just caught by a soul who at that moment realizes it needs My Mercy.
So do not withhold your mercy on others.
Let it flow freely and perhaps it may even land on someone you least expect needs it.
You know how good you feel when you realize that God treats you with great gentle Mercy.
He has given us the sacraments, He has given Himself to us in the Eucharist, He has taught us how to pray. He has spoken Words of Guidance for us all.
He cares for us so much and does not want one of us lost.
That is why you cannot escape His Mercy.
You can ignore it, turn away from it, but you can’t turn off the Source so you can’t turn off the availability of His Divine Mercy.
Ask Me each day to show you Mercy.
Ask Me each day to show you how to pour forth My Mercy on others.
Remember it is never your mercy but rather My Mercy flowing through you.
You can sprinkle His Mercy on others without them even knowing it!
Just as if you were flicking holy water on them, also flick My Mercy.
It takes but a second or two to do but shows Me well into eternity how precious and powerful you know My Mercy to be.
Trust in My Mercy.
Sometimes when we look around at a family situation we feel things are lost.
But you hasten to get My Mercy poured over you so your soul does not go down a dark path of hopelessness and along with that sprinkle My Mercy on the situation.
It gives you something to do instead of standing around feeling hopeless.
Thank Me for My Mercy which I tell you may not be blatantly obvious, but I tell you it is still in great action.
So do not doubt but believe.
