July 7, 2014 - Monday

May he reign before God forever;
send your love and fidelity to preserve him.  (Psalms 61:8 NABRE)


I am struck by the idea of the attributes of God.  What is he like?  What qualities of personality does he have.  In today's verse, we see two of them mentioned, as the psalmist asks God to send them to the king.  There are some others mentioned throughout psalms.  Here are several attributes of God which we can ask him to share with us:

  • Love
  • Fidelity
  • Truth
  • Justice
  • Peace
  • Mercy
  • Faithfulness
  • Loyalty

Mercy.  God's divine mercy.  It occurs to me how much I need this.  How much our world needs this.  And so...


Today, I will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, recalling Jesus' desire to show us his merciful heart rather than his just judgement. 


Saint Faustina, secretary of God's mercy, pray for us.
