Come to My Mercy

dm-oval

Jesus told Sister Faustina “The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is - trust.” (Diary, 1578)

 

Our Lord calls out for sinners to come to His infinite mercy.  Repeatedly His words to Saint Faustina emphasize that He is more generous toward sinners than toward the just, and they remind us of His words  to the Pharisees:

 

“Those who are well do not need a physician, but sick people do.  Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’  I did not come to call the righteous but sinners” (Mt. 9:12-13).

 

         God’s mercy is always available to us, no matter what we have done or what state we are in, even if our sins are as black as night and we are filled with fears and anxieties.

 

        Over and over again Our Lord stresses that He could never reject a repentant heart, never refuse an appeal to His mercy.

 

+ I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine towards souls of sinners. Let the sinner not be afraid to approach Me. The flames of mercy are burning Me - clamouring to be spent; I want to pour them out upon these souls. (50)

      Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation.  When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion.  This is the prayer: “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You(186 - 187).

 

         God has promised a great grace especially to you and to all those … who will proclaim My great mercy.  I shall protect them Myself at the hour of death, as My own glory.  And even if the sins of souls will be as dark as night, when the sinner turns to My mercy he gives Me the greatest praise and is the glory of My Passion.  When a soul praises My goodness, Satan trembles before it and flees to the very bottom of hell (378).

 

         The graces I grant you are not for you alone, but for a great number of other souls as well … I perform works of mercy in every soul.  The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy (723).

 

         [Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy.  They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy … write about My mercy towards tormented souls (1146).

 

I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy.  Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy.  He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice … (1146). 

 

Write that I am more generous toward sinners than toward the just.  It was for their sake that I came down from heaven; it was for their sake that My Blood was spilled.  Let them not fear to approach Me; they are most in need of My mercy (1275).

 

Oh, if sinners knew My mercy, they would not perish in such great numbers.  Tell sinful souls not to be afraid to approach Me; speak to them of My great mercy (1396).

 

The loss of each soul plunges Me into mortal sadness.  You always console Me when you pray for sinners.  The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion of sinners.  Know, My daughter, that this prayer is always heard and answered (1397).

 

         Tell My priests that hardened sinners will repent on hearing their words when they will speak about My unfathomable mercy, about the compassion I have for them in My Heart.  To priests who will proclaim and extol My mercy, I will give wondrous power, and I will anoint their words and touch the hearts of those to whom they will speak (1521).

 

         Write this for the benefit of distressed souls:  When a soul sees and realizes the gravity of its sins, when the whole abyss of the misery into which it immersed itself is displayed before its eyes, let it not despair, but with trust let it throw itself into the arms of My mercy, as a child into the arms of its beloved mother.  These souls have a right of priority to My compassionate Heart, they have first access to My mercy.  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 (1541).

 

         When you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flow down upon your soul and ennoble 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 (1602).

 

         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.  Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy (1602).

 

         Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls draw graces solely with the vessel of trust.  If their trust is great, there is no limit to My generosity.  The torrents of grace inundate humble souls.  The proud remain always in poverty and misery, because My grace turns away from them to humble souls (1602).

 

         Write: I am Thrice Holy, and I detest the smallest sin.  I cannot love a soul which is stained with sin; but when it repents, there is no limit to My generosity toward it.  My mercy embraces and justifies it.  With My mercy, I pursue sinners along all their paths, and My Heart rejoices when they return to Me.  I forget the bitterness with which they fed My Heart and rejoice at their return (1728).

 

         Tell sinners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from My Merciful Heart, they will fall into My Just Hands.  Tell sinners that I am always waiting for them, that I listen intently to the beating of their heart … when will it beat for Me?  Write, that I am speaking to them through their remorse of conscience, through their failures and sufferings, through thunderstorms, through the voice of the Church.  And if they bring all My graces to naught, I begin to be angry with them, leaving them alone and giving them what they want (1728).

 

         Write, My daughter, that I am mercy itself for the contrite soul.  A soul’s greatest wretchedness does not enkindle Me with wrath; but rather, My Heart is moved towards it with great mercy (1739).

 

         How very much I desire the salvation of souls! … write that I want to pour out My divine life into human souls and to sanctify them, if only they were willing to accept My grace.  The greatest sinners would achieve great sanctity, if only they would trust in My mercy (1784).
