Jesus I Trust in You
The Divine Mercy Message
Our Lord's Revelations To ST. Maria Faustina
On February 22 ,1931 a young Polish nun, St. Faustina Kowalska, saw a vision of Jesus with rays of mercy streaming from the area of His heart. He told her to have an image painted to represent this vision and to sign it "JESUS I TRUST IN YOU." Calling her the Apostle and Secretary of His mercy, He ordered her to begin writing a diary so others would come to know and trust in Him. In a series of revelations that followed between 1931 and 1938, He taught her that His mercy is unlimited and available even to the greatest sinners. He revealed special ways for people to respond to His mercy in their lives, and He gave her several promises for those who would trust in His mercy and show mercy to others. By the time of St. Faustina's death in 1938, devotion to the Divine Mercy had already begun. St. Maria Faustina Kowalska was canonized on April 30, 2000.
Now is the Time of Mercy
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. (848)
God's floodgates have been opened for us. Let us want to take advantage of them before the day of God's justice arrives. O what a great multitude of souls I see! They worship The Divine Mercy and will be singing the hymn of praise for all eternity. (1159,848)
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. (1074)
Souls that make an appeal to My Mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion. (1146) Beg for mercy for the whole world. (570) No soul that has called upon My Mercy has ever been disappointed. (1541)
I am love and mercy itself. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My Mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world. 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. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My Mercy not embrace a trusting soul. (1777)
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.
Proclaim to the whole world My unfathomable Mercy. (1142)
Proclaim that mercy is the greatest attribute of God. All the works of My hand are crowned with Mercy. (301) Souls who spread the honor of My Mercy I shield through their entire life as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. (1075)
Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (1541). Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death (687). 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 (1541). Priest 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 (687). I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy (687). Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will (1731).
