Day 37 of 40: Daily Encounters with Jesus

April 1, 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 reminds us through St. Faustina’s Diary that He desires our complete honesty in prayer — to come to Him just as we are (Diary reflections).

Often, we filter our prayers. We say what sounds right, avoid what feels messy, and hide the parts of ourselves we are unsure about. But Jesus desires truth, not perfection. He invites you to bring your real thoughts, struggles, distractions, and even your silence before Him.

Prayer is not about saying the right words — it is about being present. This Holy Week, let us come to Him without pretending.

Ask Yourself: Am I honest with God in my prayer? What am I holding back from Him? Why am I scared to be transparent with a God who knows everything and loves me unconditionally?

Pray: Jesus, teach me to come to You as I am.
