God’s Indomitable Love in Christ
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans 8, 28 – 39:
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined he also called, and those he called he also justified, and those he justified he also glorified.
What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ Jesus who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor death, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I pray the Divine Mercy chaplet every day. It is a joy for me to be united with Our Dear Lord and to offer Jesus to Our Heavenly Father in order to atone for our sins and for the sins of the whole world. It is through His sorrowful passion that God the Father has mercy on us all. Let us pray every day this wonderful chaplet given to us by Saint Sister Faustina.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Every day I pour My divine love upon you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters for whom I have died to atone for all your sins. So you are all called to love Our Heavenly Father and to love Me, your Redeemer and friend. After My suffering and death on the cross for all of you, the Father brought Me back to life and I went to heaven and now I sit at His right hand. I intercede for all of you before My Heavenly Father. I won for you many wonderful graces and I am always ready to give them to you if you open your heart to Me. There is nobody in the world that loves you more than Me. So I ask you all to put Me first in your life every day. Never do anything that is against what I taught you and love all your brothers and sisters. Pray for all those who are far from Me that they may have faith and come closer to Me every day. I want to save each and everyone of you but you have to cooperate with Me. Let us walk together every day and you will indeed be blessed. I love you all.”
