My Journey to God

Christ’s Words on Mercy to St. Faustina, as taken from her diary

“As often as you want to make Me happy,
speak to the world about My great … mercy.”
“[E]ncourage souls … to trust in My infinite mercy.
Oh, how I love those souls who have confidence in Me.”
“By deed, by word, by prayer—in these three degrees
is contained the fullness of mercy, and is … proof of love for Me.”
“The flames of mercy are burning Me. I desire to pour them
upon souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not accept them!”
“… [I]n Holy Communion, My hands are full
of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul.
But souls do not even pay any attention to Me. …
As a dead object they treat Me.”
“Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners;
I desire their salvation.
When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart …
I will give the grace of conversion:
‘O Blood and Water, which gushed
forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fount of Mercy for us,
I TRUST IN YOU.’ ”
