Diary Divine Mercy in My Soul (Preparation for Holy Communion)
Preparation for Holy Communion |
|
|
1804
|
+ J.M.J. Cracow, January 10, 1938 |
|
1805 |
1. + Today, I am preparing myself for Your coming
as bride does for the coming of her bridegroom. He is great Lord, this
Bridegroom of mine. The heaven cannot contain Him. The Seraphim who stand
closest to Him cover their faces and repeat unceasingly: Holy Holy, Holy. |
|
1806 |
I go out to meet Him, and I invite Him to the
dwelling place of my heart, humbling myself profoundly before His majesty.
But the Lord lifts me up from the dust and invites me, as His bride, to sit
next to Him and to tell Him everything that is on my heart. And 1, set at east by His kindness, lean my head on His breast
and tell Him of everything. In the first place, I tell Him things would never
tell to any creature. And then, I speak about the needs of the Church, about
the souls of poor sinners and about how much they have need of His mercy. But
the time passes quickly. Jesus, I must go t carry
out the duties that are awaiting me. Jesus tells me that there is still a
moment in which to say farewell. deep mutual gaze,
and we seemingly separate for while; but, in
reality, we never do. Our hearts are constantly united. Though outwardly I am
distracted b my various duties, the presence of Jesus plunges me constantly
in profound recollection. |
|
1807 |
2. + Today, my preparation for the coming of Jesus
is brief, but imprinted deeply with vehement love. The presence of God penetrates
me and sets aflame my love for Him. There are no words; there is only
interior understanding. I drown completely in God, through love. The Lord
approaches the dwelling of my heart. After receiving Communion, I have just
enough presence of mind to return to my kneeler. At the same time, my soul is
completely lost in God, and I no longer know what is going on about me. God
gives me an interior knowledge of His Divine Being. These moments are short,
but penetrating. The soul leaves the chapel in profound recollection, and it
is not easy to distract it. At such times, I touch the ground with only one
foot, as it were. No sacrifice throughout such a day is either difficult or
burdensome. Every situation evokes a new act of love. |
|
1808 |
3. + Today, I invite Jesus to my heart, as Love.
You are Love itself. All heaven catches the flame from You and is filled with
love. And so my soul covets You as a flower yearns for the sun. Jesus, hasten
to my heart, for You see that, as the flower is eager for the sun, so my
heart is for You. I open the calyx of my heart to receive Your love. |
|
1809 |
When Jesus came to my heart, everything in my soul
trembled with life and with warmth. Jesus, take the love from my heart and
pour into it Your love, Your love which is burning and radiant, which knows
how to bear each sacrifice, which knows how to forget itself
completely. |
|
1810 |
4. + Today, I Prepare for the Coming of the King. |
|
1811 |
But I want to tell
you that eternal life must begin already , here on
earth through Holy Communion. Each Holy Communion makes you more capable of
communing with God throughout eternity. |
|
1812 |
Today I am renewing my act of submission to my
King, by faithfulness to interior inspirations. |
|
1813 |
5. + Today, I am not forcing myself to make any
special preparation. I cannot think of anything, though I feel many things. I
long for the time when God will come to my heart. I throw myself in His arms
and tell Him about my inability and my misery. I pour out all the pain of my
heart, for not being able to love Him as much as I want. I arouse within
myself acts of faith, hope and charity and live on that throughout the day. |
|
1814 |
6. + Today, my preparation is brief. A strong and
living faith nearly tears away the veil of love. The presence of God
penetrates my heart as a ray from the sun penetrates crystal. At the moment
when I receive God, all my being is steeped in Him. Amazement and admiration
overwhelm me when I see God's great majesty, which stoops down to me who am
misery itself. There bursts forth from my soul immense gratitude to Him for
all the graces that He imparts to me, and especially for the grace of being
called to His exclusive service. |
|
1815 |
7. + 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. |
|
1816 |
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. |
|
1817 |
8. + Today, I feel an abyss of misery in my soul.
I want to approach Holy Communion as a fountain of mercy and to drown myself
completely in this ocean of love. |
|
1818 |
9. + Today, my soul has the disposition of a
child. I unite myself to God as a child to its father. I feel completely like
a child of God. |
|
1819 |
When I had received Holy Communion, I had a deeper
knowledge of the heavenly Father and of His Fatherhood in relation to souls. |
|
1820 |
10. + Today, I want to be transformed, whole and
entire, into the love of Jesus and to offer myself, together with Him, to the
Heavenly Father. |
|
1821 |
After Holy Communion, I felt the beating of the
Heart of Jesus in my own heart. Although I have been aware, for a long time, that Holy Communion continues in me until the next
Communion, today - and throughout the whole day - I am adoring Jesus in my
heart and asking Him, by His grace, to protect little children from the evil
that threatens them. A vivid and even physically felt presence of God
continues throughout the day and does not in the least interfere with my
duties. |
|
1822 |
11. + Today, my soul desires to show, in a special
way, its love to Jesus. When the Lord entered my heart, I threw myself down
at His feet like a rosebud. I want the fragrance of my love to rise
continually to the foot of Your throne. You see, Jesus, in this rosebud, all
my heart [offered] to You, not only now when my heart is burning like a live
coal, but also during the day, when I will give You proofs of my love by
faithfulness to divine grace. |
|
1823 |
12. + Today, my soul is preparing for the coming
of my Savior, who is goodness and love itself.
Temptations and distractions torment me and do not let me prepare for the
coming of the Lord. Therefore I desire even more ardently to receive You,
Lord, because I know that when You come, You will rescue me from these
torments. And if it is Your will that I should suffer, well then, fortify me
for the struggle. |
|
1824 |
13. + Today, my heart trembles with joy. I desire
very much that Jesus come to my heart. My longing heart is inflamed with an
ever-increasing love. |
|
1825 |
14. + Today, my soul is preparing for the coming
of the Lord, who can do all things, who can make me perfect and holy. I am
preparing very carefully for His reception, but there arose the difficulty as
to how to present this to Him? I rejected it [this difficulty] at once. I will
present it as my heart dictates. |
|
1826 |
When I had received Jesus in Holy Communion, my
heart cried out with all its might, "Jesus, transform me into another
host! I want to be a living host for You. You are a great and all-powerful
Lord; You can grant me this favor." And the Lord answered me, You are a living host, pleasing to the
Heavenly Father. But reflect: What is a host? A sacrifice. And so...? |
|
1827 |
15. + Today, my soul is preparing for Holy
Communion as for a wedding feast, wherein all the participants are
resplendent with unspeakable beauty. And I, too, have been invited to this
banquet, but I do not see that beauty within myself, only an abyss of misery.
And, although I do not feel worthy of sitting down to table, I will however
slip under the table, at the feet of Jesus, and will beg for the crumbs that fall
from the table. Knowing Your mercy, I therefore approach You, Jesus, for
sooner will I run out of misery than will the compassion of Your Heart
exhaust itself. That is why during this day I will keep arousing trust in The
Divine Mercy. |
|
1828 |
16. + Today, the Majesty of God is
surrounding me. There is no way that I can help myself to prepare better. I
am thoroughly enwrapped in God. My soul is being inflamed by His love. I only
know that I love and am loved. That is enough for me. I am trying my best to
be faithful throughout the day to the Holy Spirit and to fulfill His demands.
I am trying my best for interior silence in order to be able to hear His
voice... |
