O eternal Light, Which is coming into this world,
enlighten my mind and strengthen my will,
so that I may not founder and stop in times of severe trials.
Let Your light dispel all the shadows of doubt;
let Your omnipotence work through me.
I trust in You, O uncreated Brilliance.
Diary, 830
Dear Apostoles of Divine Mercy!
The Eternal God comes to earth as a tiny Child. The Uncreated Light comes to dwell in our hearts. He brings love, takes away sins and reveals His infinite mercy.
Let us welcome this Light into our hearts, into our families, workplaces and communities. Let us open ourselves to the Light of God’s mercy! Let it illuminate our paths, let it touch all our cares, worries and anxieties. Let us allow this Light to transform us, so that, by its power, we may become Apostles of Divine Mercy and Pilgrims of Hope, who bring the light of love wherever there is darkness of sin, loneliness and suffering.
As we begin the Jubilee Year, let us shine the light of hope through prayer and works of mercy – in the lives of those who live next to us and who need a word of comfort, forgiveness, strength, our presence and concrete help.
With the best wishes for a blessed and joyfull Christmas and with our prayers
