The purification of your soul

The greatest suffering we can endure is a spiritual longing for God. Those in Purgatory suffer greatly because they desire God and do not yet fully possess him. We must enter the same purification here and now. We must allow ourselves to be desired by God. We must see Him and realize that we do not yet fully possess Him and that He does not yet fully possess us because of our sin. This will be painful, but it is necessary if we are to be cleansed of all that prevents us from His perfect Mercy (See Journal No. 20-21).

Reflect that spiritual cleansing of your soul is needed. Ideally, we all embrace this purification here and now. Why wait? Are you trying to grow in this purification? Are you willing to let your soul yearn for God and have Him as your only desire? If so, everything else in life will fall into place as you seek Him and when you discover the Divine Mercy that awaits you.

Lord, please cleanse my soul in every way. Allow me to enter my purgatory here and now. Let my soul be consumed with a desire for You and let that desire cloud every other desire in my life. Jesus I believe in you.
