The Demand for Deeds of Mercy
Meditation
My daughter, if I demand through you that people re-
vere My mercy, you should be the first to distinguish
yourself by this confidence in My mercy. I demand
from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love
for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors al-
ways and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or
try to excuse or absolve yourself from it
(Diary, 742).
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 unques-
tionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glo-
rifies and pays reverence to My mercy
(Diary, 742).
My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, help me to respond to Your demand for deeds
of mercy. Fill me with Your love for my neighbor. Help me
then to show my love for You by exercising mercy toward
my neighbor in three ways: by deed, by word, and by
prayer.
