“Let faith inform, animate and guide their whole life so that they may think, judge, speak and act by the light of faith; and let it be firm, alive and unshakable. Let them place all their hope and trust in God, for He is good and powerful and faithful in His promises, our exceedingly great reward in Heaven for our labors, and the one in whom we have our help and in whom we can do all things. But, above all, let them have charity, which is the very essence of perfection: Let them love the infinitely good God for Himself above all things and their neighbor for and in God”. (Constitutions of the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception, 7 & 31) Prayer for Divine Mercy I fly to Your mercy, Compassionate God, who alone are good. Although my misery is great, and my offenses are many, I trust in Your mercy, because You are the God of mercy; and, from time immemorial, it has never been heard of, nor do heaven or earth remember, that a soul trusting in Your mercy has been disappointed. O God of compassion, You alone can justify me, and You will never reject me when I, contrite, approach Your Merciful Heart, where no one has ever been refused, even if he were the greatest sinner. (1730) Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul. (1777) Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven, You are my peace. You are my salvation, You are my serenity in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts. You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life. You are everything to a lonely soul. You understand the soul even though it remains silent. You know our weaknesses, and like a good physician, You comfort and heal, sparing us sufferings — expert that You are. (247) 93
