Holy Hour. During this hour of adoration, I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy.
(Diary 237)
Reflection: Saint Therese of Lisieux speaks of the elevator that leads small souls to the heart of Jesus. The humility and recognition of our need for God is for Saint Therese like an elevator that creates a "short cut" to what would otherwise be a grueling uphill climb towards Him.
As Saint Faustina echoes, often it is our recognition of our littleness before God that allows his great power to become more manifest. Contemplate the "misery" of your own soul. Allow that contemplation to draw your attention to the very power, grandeur and boundless mercy of the God who loves you!

Today, Divine Mercy is the fastest growing devotion in the Catholic Church. So what exactly is Divine Mercy? You may know it as an image revealed to St. Faustina. Or a special form of prayer, or perhaps as a new feast day instituted by Pope John Paul II. While all of those are true, Divine Mercy is even greater.
