Today, I wake up to a very quiet Christmas day. I feel grateful that God has blessed me this day with so much peaceful solitude. Truly, He gives not like the world gives! Jesus said “I do not give to you as the world gives.” in John 14:27. Ironically, that contrast is most evident during the Christmas season.

God has given me Jesus. Jesus has given up his life to give me an eternal life with Him. And now, I have nothing to offer God, but the Lord Jesus Christ in my heart. So today, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy rings true in my heart more than any other day.

I wish everyone a very merry Christmas in the Lord.

‘Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity

of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement

for our sins and those of the whole world.’

 

‘For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the
whole world.’

 

‘Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
and on the whole world’.
