Let's pray that the killing stops!

I just knew I wouldn’t get past this week without picking up the cold Lily brought home from Disneyland with her! Between the lethargy that the cold brings on and the big post-vacation workload I came back to, I haven’t had (and I still don’t have) much time to write. So I will just offer a prayer, with the help of the Holy Innocents on this, the day we remember them.

O Lord Jesus,

I pray today for all those who are involved directly with abortions and for all those who condone it. May your merciful love pierce their hearts and bring them to conversion. And may your loving compassion bring healing to them all, especially the young mothers. May they be enfolded in your merciful embrace, and be reunited one day with their children in heaven.

Amen.

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
