Our Blessed Lord appeared to Sister Faustina and
revealed His Divine Mercy for the world.
Here are some excerpts of conversations with the Lord from Blessed Faustina's diary.
Paint an image according to the pattern you see with the
signature: Jesus, I trust in you.
I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel,
and [then] throughout the world.
I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will
not perish. I also promise
victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I
Myself will defend it as My own glory.
The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray
stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the
depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross.
The Feast of
Divine Mercy
I want this image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy.
On that day, the depths of My Divine Mercy will be open to all.
Whoever will go to confession and Holy Communion on
that day will receive complete forgiveness of sin and punishment. Mankind will not enjoy
peace until it returns to My Mercy.
We should spread this devotion and make it also known to
priests so that they may celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy in honor
of Our Lord.
I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep
coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature:
"Jesus, I trust in You".
Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this
Chaplet ;the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who
say the chaplet. Write down these words, My daughter. Speak to the world about My mercy;
let all mankind recognize My unfathomable Mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it
will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the
fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them. recognize My unfathomable Mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it
will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the
fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.
Say unceasingly this Chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he
recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the
whole world to know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who
trust in My Mercy.
When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just judge but as the
Merciful
Savior.
Savior.
On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a
different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each
day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls.
On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the
lance for all souls---none have I excluded!
The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy.
Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.
Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation;
that is, the Feast of My Mercy.
The flames of mercy are burning Me. I desire to pour them out
upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them!
Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me......I wait for
souls, and they are indifferent towards Me. I love them tenderly and sincerely, and they
distrust Me.
I demand from you deeds of mercy which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show
mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to
excuse yourself from it.
1541 My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you.
