Now we’re smiling in the Sonshine,
for God’s love is in the air!
Be courageous. Fear not.
The Divine Mercy is your victory!
When Our Blessed Lord
came to this earth,
he had the divine sense of humor.
True joy is Divine Mercy in the dark night!
For nothing will be impossible for God!
Amen.

A Meditation on the Dark Night
The dark night
often comes to us
in myriad shades of grey.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Sometimes the dark night
slowly drags the present into the future,
and we are almost lulled to sleep
by the inevitable periods of boredom
that stealthily creep into our lives,
in the Dark Night of the Ordinary.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Sometimes the dark night
strikes suddenly, and is marked
by the change in our perception
of the clock’s ticking,
when we pass from moments of eternity
to moments marked by the urgency
of seconds, minutes, hours, days,
when our schedules, and our lives,
are flipped upside down,
in the Dark Night of Time.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Sometimes the dark night
is clouded by anxiety and fear,
in the Dark Night of Unknowing,
or is painfully pierced by suffering,
in the Dark Night of the Cross.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Sometimes the dark night
seems to extinguish every feeling of
consolation that we have ever felt
in the presence of Our Lord,
when Jesus hides himself from us,
as our passionate lover,
teasing us with the divine sense of humor,
in the Dark Night of the Soul.
Jesus, I trust in you!
But the good God
is never outdone in generosity,
because it’s all part of His wondrous
mystical plan of sweet holy love
for each and every one of us.
Jesus, I trust in you!
For soon, very soon,
if we wait for the Lord,
if we watch for the Lord,
if we persevere in prayer,
like the wise virgins
who brought sufficient oil
so that their lamps
wouldn’t be extinguished,
the magnificent and dazzling light
of Divine Mercy will shine forth
from our transfigured souls!
Jesus, I trust in you!
Amen.
True joy is Divine Mercy in the dark night!
Amen.
To be prayed mentally in the morning while still resting in bed
Jesus, I surrender to you!
Jesus, I trust in you!
Jesus, I love you!
Amen.
Inspired by Pope St. John Paul II
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me today with…
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing my family today with…
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing the Church today with…
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing the world today with…
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing the poor souls of purgatory today with…
Amen.

Oh, how I love those souls
who have complete confidence in Me --
I will do everything for them.

Through your holy grace,
I have wholehearted contrition,
And I am free from all affection for sin,
And all attachment to sin,
And so, with a sincere heart,
I offer you this Our Father,
And also this Hail Mary,
For the Holy Father’s intentions.

In reconsecrating my life to Jesus
Through Santa Maria.
Please accept today’s confession.
Please accept today’s recitation of the Holy Rosary.
Please accept today’s reception of Holy Communion,
Offered with the intention of making reparation
To the Immaculate Heart of Maria.

Or offered for my own benefit,
Or offered for whomever else the
Merciful Mystical Rose most wishes,
In accordance with your holy will.
Please accept today’s 15-minute meditation
On the 20 mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
In short, I humbly request that
Through the sweet hands of
My dearest Santa Maria,
You accept today the gift
Of this plenary indulgence,
In accordance with your holy will.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal…
St. Joseph, Knight of the Holy Family…
The “Due Santi”: St. Peter and St. Paul…
Let us remember that these four holy saints
Are fighting with us in the spiritual battle,
And each one of them is holding
A sword of the Spirit that is personally made,
For each them, by the Divine Artist himself.
In His mercy and love, Our Lord of Love
Has made a sword of the Spirit for each of us, too --
We are not alone.
In the dark nights of our lives,
Let us join these courageous saints
In confidently brandishing our powerful swords,
Which radiate the magnificent Light of the Word,
And let us be filled with great trust in the Divine Mercy,
For through Him, with Him, and in Him, we will
Overcome the powers of darkness in our lives.
Jesus, I trust in you! Vive Jésus!
