Prayers, scripture, and meditations to walk with you every day
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."— Matthew 11:28
Christ does not wait for us to be unburdened. He invites us precisely as we are — weary, carrying more than we can hold. Lay it down today.
Woven through the hours — as the Church has prayed for 2,000 years
"O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day..."
"The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Spirit..."
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son..."
"Lord, let me see this day through Your eyes — where I loved well, and where I fell short..."
"Into Your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Protect us, Lord, while we are awake, and safeguard us while we sleep..."
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
Nine days of surrender, in the spirit of St. Faustina
Our Lord asked St. Faustina to pray this novena especially beginning Good Friday through Divine Mercy Sunday. But it may be prayed any time a soul needs the flood of His mercy.
"Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy." — Let us plunge every lost soul into the fountain of the Precious Blood.
"Today bring to Me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy." — Through them, the rivers of grace flow upon all souls.
"Today bring to Me all devout and faithful souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy." — They are a consolation to the Heart of Christ.
"Today bring to Me those who do not believe in Me, and those who do not yet know Me." — May the light of faith break upon them.
"Today bring to Me the souls of those who have separated themselves from My Church, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy." — That all may be one.
"Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children." — Heaven is theirs.
"Today bring to Me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy." — They reflect His tender love upon the earth.
"Today bring to Me the souls who are detained in Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy." — Cool their flames with the Precious Blood.
"Today bring to Me the souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy." — That their hearts may catch fire again.
