Do not miss out on this effective chance for grace!
Divine Mercy Sunday falls on April 19 this year. How can we earn the supernatural beautifies attached to this wedding with closed churches?
The Dads of Mercy launched a video discussing how to gain a plenary indulgence, even throughout the coronavirus quarantine. Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, “I assure you, this will be the most important thing you ever do in your entire life!”
Listen listed below:
Jesus guarantees in St. Faustina’s Diary, 699:
“On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of beautifies upon those souls who approach the Fount of My Grace.
“The soul that will go to Confession and get Holy Communion shall get complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day, all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to approach to Me, although its sins be as scarlet.”
How can I get these beautifies with closed churches?
Paragraph 1451-1452 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “Among the penitent’s acts contrition occupies very first place. Contrition is ‘sadness of the soul and detestation for the sin dedicated, together with the resolution not to sin once again.’
“When it emerges from a love by which God is enjoyed above all else, contrition is called ‘perfect’ (contrition of charity). Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it consists of the firm resolution to draw on sacramental confession as quickly as possible.”
With the intention to go to confession and receive communion as soon possible,
1) Make an Act of Contrition:
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having actually upset Thee,
and I dislike all my sins,
due to the fact that I fear the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;
however most of all because they anger Thee, my God,
Who are all great and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the aid of Thy grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance,
and to change my life.
My Jesus,
I believe that You exist in the A lot of Holy Sacrament.
I enjoy You above all things,
and I want to get You into my soul.
Given that I can not at this minute receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I accept You as if You were already there
and join myself completely to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Fr. Alar suggests likewise making a prayer like this:
“Lord Jesus Christ, You guaranteed St. Faustina that the soul that has been to Confession [I’m not able, however I made an Act of Contrition] and the soul that receives Holy Communion [I’m unable, however I made a Spiritual Communion] will receive the total forgiveness of all sins and punishment. Please, Lord Jesus Christ, provide me this grace.”
Jesus I trust in you!
