CONTEMPLATING JESUS

This reflection sprang out of admiration for Jesus,
who is mercy.
We shall be happy if you also fall in love with Him,
and if you make your heart a valley of trust,
which He will be able to flood with rain of Mercy.

SISTERS OF MERCIFUL JESUS

 

HE IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD (Col 1:15)

I believe that You come out of this image for me You do not want to be enfolded in the frame of any sort of perfection whatsoever You do not want to be simply "a memento portrait" of God You simply come out to meet me today

 

 

You are coming always first in love You are hurrying to love barefoot like a slave asking for acceptance of the Gift of Love Now there is only a question of the other that is of my step

 

 

Terrifying darkness increasing before eyes already wide open out of fear in this darkness the colors of our life are blended blue-gray everyday routine divided by stripes of green hope pink joy orange smile only now can I see that the colors of my life are nothing compared with You Who are the light of the world I invite You: enter into my life let the flame of mercy burn in me

 

 

You search for me with your glance In a gaze full of love You look patiently gently jealousy not seeking Yourself not getting angry not remembering last wrongs You bear all things believe all things continually put Your hope in me You look at me with love

 

 

You speak with gestures I don’t have to reach up to a particular level gain Your appreciation delight You You approve of me such as I am You bless me constantly and constantly forgive me

 

 

You reveal yourself to me You invite into the very midst of love here is my place You prepared this place for me and nobody can occupy it You wrote me on Your hands I engraved myself with a wound in Your side You suffered from the love to me that is why I am so sure about it I am anxious to lean against it Hug me, God

 

 

A tent of encounter beams of rays penetrating everything timidly entering locked hearts through the hole streams of grace cheap gifts are not the thing You give Yourself You are a gift I turn to You like a flower to the sun I want to draw life from Your rays and I beg You protect me with Your mercy like with a shield

Jesus, I trust in You

Jesus, I trust in You
The key
opening God’s heart
wide
Lord, You are
the only trustworthy
and there is no name
that I can trust in
My Jesus
Savior
King
my Mercy

"Be not afraid of your Savior, O sinful soul. I make the first move to come to you, for
I know that by yourself you are unable to lift yourself to me. Child, do not run away from your Father; be willing to talk openly with your God of mercy who wants to speak words of pardon and lavish his graces on you" (Diary, 1485).

"I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust" (Diary, 1520).

"The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is - trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them. I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts" (Diary, 1578).
