Second Day
Jesus Loves You
"Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like the sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built."
"The devil may try to use the hurts of life, sometimes our own mistakes, to make you feel it is impossible that Jesus really loves you, is really cleaving to you. This is a danger for all of us. And so sad, because it is completely the opposite of what Jesus is really wanting, waiting to tell you.. He loves you always, even when you don't feel worthy."
"Jesus loves you tenderly, you are precious to him. Turn to Jesus with great trust and allow yourself to be loved by Him. The past belongs to His mercy, the future to His providence, and the present to His love."
Thought for the day: Do not be afraid - you are precious to Jesus. He loves you."
Ask for the grace to be convinced of Jesus' unconditional and personal love for you
Prayer to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta:
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of his love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus the grace to follow Jesus without counting the cost and to do His will whatever that may require of me. Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate his light and love to others. Amen.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for us.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.
