Scriptures

All That We Have To Offer
“Live hidden in great humility. Except for a few persons, no one
should know about you. You will gain merits by your sufferings. These you must
offer in union with Me to the Eternal Father for the souls consecrated to Me.
May your humility be so great that you radiate goodness and love to all whom
you meet.” (Jesus) (Compendium Page 37)
Today’s Readings: Appear not before the LORD empty-handed, for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts. The just one’s offering enriches the altar and rises as a sweet odor before the Most High. (Sirach 35)
Prayer Meditation- Lord it seems sometimes that we have so little to offer You- sometimes all we really have to offer is our misery and sufferings. It can seem that we are empty handed because we can feel so depleted by the tribulations of life. What can we possibly offer in return for Your Unfailing Love? But Lord, You told St. Faustina that our miseries are what is uniquely ours- our weak nature and our failures can be made into a beautiful offering if offered in union with You to the Eternal Father for the salvation of souls! Lord may we learn humility so that filled with Your Love we can radiate that love to others despite being the leaky broken vessels that we are! (2 Corinthians 4:7)
