PUTTING
THE DIVINE MERCY INTO PRACTICE
How can
we be merciful each day?
Here are some suggestions:
BY
DEEDS:
* Visit a sick
or lonely person.
* Write a letter of encouragement.
* Cook a meal for a friend or one in need.
* Teach those who do not know Jesus, about
His mercy.
* Help out others in need.
* Volunteer your time for needed projects.
* Above all forgive. Forgive those who
have injured you or those who make you anxious
or fearful. Broadcast forgiveness seven times
seventy times a day. That is 490 times each
day. That is, every three minutes.
BY
WORD
* Again forgive
those who have injured you or have persecuted
you (Mt.5:4). Forgive as you are forgiven by
God's mercy.
* Speak a word of encouragement to a person
in need.
* Be silent when tempted to gossip.
* Phone a needy person with a word of hope.
* Encourage someone who does his daily
work.
* Thank everyone who is in any way merciful.
BY
PRAYER
* Ask for God's
mercy, plead for His mercy for the Church and
world, because the Lord has asked us to ask
for ourselves and those in need (Lk.11:9).
* Pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy, asking
for mercy 'on us and on the whole world'.
* Pray 'Jesus, mercy' - a short form of
the chaplet of Divine Mercy.
* Pray 'Jesus I trust in you' our consecration
to the merciful Saviour.
