Third Day
Page 119 from the 2nd manuscript of Bl. Fr. Sopočko: „To me, as to Simon, the cross is a bitter thing. By nature I shrink from it, but circumstances compel me to come to terms with it. I will try henceforth to bear my cross in the same dispositions in which Our Lord bore His. Following the example of the merciful Saviour, I will carry the cross for my sins, for the sins of others, and for the souls in purgatory. I shall thus be walking the royal road of Christ, and will not swerve from it even when a mocking, hostile crowd surrounds me.“
"Today bring to Me all Devout and Faithful Souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were a drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
