Reflection of Jesus’ Words to Saint Faustina

SET ONE

“At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion....”  (Diary, 1320)

”I remind you, My daughter, that as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice.”  (Diary, 1572)

“My daughter, try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy; and should you be unable to step into the chapel, immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant. I claim veneration for My mercy from every creature, but above all from you, since it is to you that I have given the most profound understanding of this mystery.”  (Diary, 1572)

SET TWO

"My daughter ell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners." (Diary, 699)

"On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet." (Diary, 699)

"Everything that exists is enclosed in the bowels of My mercy, more deeply than an infant in its mother's womb." (Diary, 1076).  "There is more merit to one hour of meditation on My sorrowful Passion than there is to a whole year of flagellation that draws blood." (Diary, 369)

"I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy towards your neighbor: the first - by deed, the second - by word, the third - by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy. Yes, the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be acts of mercy ..... because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works," (Diary, 742)

"My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity….. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy." (Diary, 699)

SET THREE

“Tell all people, My daughter, that I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls.”  (Diary, 1074)

“My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners….. it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy.”  (Diary, 367)

“My mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world. Who can measure the extent of my goodness? For you I descended from heaven to earth; for you I allowed myself to be nailed to the cross; for you I let my Sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come, then, with trust to draw graces from this fountain. I never reject a contrite heart.” (Diary, 1485)

“Souls that make an appeal to My Mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My Compassion.”  (Diary, 1146)

“Tell them that no soul that has called upon My Mercy has been disappointed or brought to shame. I delight particularly in a soul which has placed its trust in My goodness…. 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.” (Diary, 1541)

SET FOUR

“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 or absolve yourself from it…. Even the strongest faith is of no avail without works.”  (Diary, 742)

“If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy.” (Diary, 1317)

“I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust. Sinners will attain justification, and the just will be confirmed in good. Whoever places his trust in My mercy will be filled with My divine peace at the hour of death.” (Diary, 1520)

“On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls-no one have I excluded!” (Diary, 1182)

“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.’ "  (Diary, 327)

“The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is - trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them. I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much.” (Diary, 1578)

SET FIVE

“It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet” (Diary, 154)

“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”.   (Diary, 848)

“Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My Infinite mercy.  I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy.”   (Diary, 687)

“Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach Me, even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world”. (Diary, 1059)

“The greatest sinners would achieve great sanctity, if only they would trust in My mercy.” (Diary, 1784)

“The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy”   (Diary, 723)

“Write, speak of My Mercy.  Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy - the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  There the greatest miracles take place … it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some external ceremony; it suffices to come with faith to the feet of My representative and to reveal to him one's misery, and the miracle of Divine Mercy will be fully demonstrated…”  (Diary, 1448).

“When you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it.  Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul.  When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you.  I am only hidden by the priest, but I Myself act in your soul…” (Diary, 1602).

“Live in My presence; ask my Mother and the Saints for help…”  (Diary, 1560).

“Just as you prepare in My presence, so also you make your confession before Me.  The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen.  Never analyze what sort of a priest it is that I am making use of; open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light…” (Diary, 1725).

SET SEVEN

“Poor soul, I see that you suffer much and that you do not have even the strength to converse with Me.  So I will speak to you.  Even though your sufferings were very great, do not lose heart or give in to despondency.… Tell Me about everything, be sincere in dealing with Me, reveal all the wounds of your heart.  I will heal them, and your suffering will become a source of your sanctification.”  (Diary, 1487).

“My daughter, do not omit Holy Communion unless you know well that your fall was serious; apart from this, no doubt must stop you from uniting yourself with Me in the mystery of My love...  Know that you grieve Me much when you fail to receive Me in Holy Communion.”  (Diary, 156).

“Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me in Holy Communion… I love them tenderly and sincerely…  I want to lavish My graces on them...  They treat Me as a dead object, whereas My heart is full of love and mercy.” (Diary, 1447).

“My child, rest on My Heart; I see that you have worked hard in My vineyard.” (Diary, 945).

“Rest, My little child. I am always with you.” (Diary, 1011).

 “The more a soul trust, the more it will receive (Diary, 1578).

“With childlike simplicity talk to Me about everything, for My ears and heart are inclined towards you, and your words are dear to me.” (Diary, 921).
