Daily Meditation
"I saw my Guardian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. In a moment I was in a misty place full of fire in which there was a great crowd of suffering souls. They were praying fervently, but without effect for themselves; only we can come to their aid. The flames which were burning them do not touch me at all. My Guardian Angel did not leave me for an instant. I asked these souls what their greatest suffering was. They answered me in one voice that their greatest torment was longing for God . . . [I heard an interior voice] which said, My mercy does not want this, but justice demands it."
— St. Maria Faustina Kowalska

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Gabriel J. Griggs, C.S.C.
Almighty Father, you know the secrets of our hearts and, therefore, you know that we, too, are capable of doing good and ill. You even know those faults that we hide from others and those that we try to hide from ourselves. Despite this, you never fail to call us to greater heights of goodness and love. You chose to live among us as one of us in order to raise us up. Grant that our hearts may be made new so that we might enter into your kingdom. We ask this through you son, our Lord. Amen.
