Day 1 of 40: Daily Encounters with Jesus

Feb 18, 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. In these quiet moments, let us allow mercy to transform us personally — come, listen to His voice, and speak to Him from your heart.

Day 1: Today Jesus says to you: “The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is — trust.” (Diary, 1578)

Jesus looks at you and asks for one thing — trust. Not a perfect prayer. Not a flawless Lent. Just trust. You may feel weak, distracted, or spiritually dry, but His mercy is not drawn by strength; it is drawn by surrender.

Today, instead of analysing everything, place that one worry — the one that keeps returning — into His Heart. Trust is an act of courage. It is saying, “Lord, I do not understand, but I believe You are good.”

Ask yourself: Where do I need to stop controlling and start trusting? 

Prayer: Jesus, I trust in You. (Repeat 3 times)

Share this with a friend and invite them into today’s two-minute encounter with Jesus.
