Day 16 of 40: Daily Encounters with Jesus

Mar 7, 2026: This Lent, let us step into a daily two-minute encounter with Jesus, guided by the intimate conversations recorded in St. Faustina’s Diary. Come, listen to His voice, and speak to Him from your heart.

Today Jesus says to you: “Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace.” (Diary, 1074)

Our hearts often feel weary — burdened by worries, disappointments, and silent anxieties. This Lent, Jesus invited us to take a small but meaningful step. Identify one burden that is weighing on your heart — a worry, a hurt, or a struggle. Write it on a piece of paper and place it beneath a cross or crucifix in your home. Throughout the day, whenever that burden returns to your mind, quietly offer it to Jesus again.

Let this simple act remind you that you do not carry your pain alone. When you draw near to Him, the restlessness of your heart slowly begins to settle. His Heart is not only merciful; it is gentle and comforting.

Ask Yourself: What burden is weighing on my heart today? Can I place this burden in the Heart of Jesus?

Pray: Jesus, fill my heart with Your peace.
