second day - abbey

   Today, bring Me the souls of priests and religious and immerse them in My unfathomable Mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.

           Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase (Your) grace in us that we may perform worthy works of mercy, so that all who watch us may praise the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

           Eternal Father, cast Your merciful glance upon the company (of chosen ones) in Your vineyard — upon the souls of priest and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless Mercy, for ages without end. Amen.
