Day 8 of 40: Daily Encounters with Jesus

Feb 26, 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: “On the Cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls — no one have I excluded.” (Diary, 1182)

Let us remember that God's mercy is not selective. The world may reject you. People may misunderstand you. Even those closest to you may fail to see your heart. But Jesus never turns you away. His mercy does not depend on approval, performance, or perfection.

When Jesus’ Heart was pierced, it was opened for every soul — including yours. No past sin, no repeated weakness, no spiritual dryness places you outside that stream of grace.

Lent draws you back to the Cross, not to condemn you, but to remind you that you are included. Today, do not stand at a distance. Come to Him without hesitation.

Ask Yourself: Do I condemn and exclude myself from His mercy? Can I approach the Cross with confidence today?

Pray: Jesus, draw me to the fountain of Your mercy.
