The Gaze from the Cross, Part 3

40 Days of Mercy Devotional – Lent 2012 – Day 18

I desire that you know profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and You will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My Mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. (102)
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins. (James 5:20)

Jesus, grant us Your urgent heart for the lost. Forgive us for becoming insulated in our Christian communities. Remind us of our former states, when You rescued us from the judgment of sin and death. Might You use our prayers to reclaim sinners? Would You also prompt merciful action toward them? Activate us, Your merciful evangelists. Like St. Faustina, prepare us to give an account for souls.
