My kingdom in human soul

-Diary, 1784

be my mercy flow out through your heart

"I desire that your heart be an abiding place of my mercy. I desire that this mercy flow out upon the whole world through your heart. Let no one who approaches you go away without that trust in my mercy which I so ardently desire four souls."

my love will never change

"Before I made the world, I loved you with the love your heart is experiencing today and, throughout the centuries, My love will never change."

-Diary, 1754

no wrath

"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."

-Diary, 1739

I forget and rejoice at their return

"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."

-Diary, 1728

reflect my mercy

"Be always merciful as I am merciful. Love everyone out of love for Me, even your greatest enemies, so that My mercy may be fully reflected in your heart."

-Diary, 1695

shield and take care

"If souls would put themselves completely in My care, I myself would undertake the task of sanctifying them, and I would lavish even greater graces on them. There are souls who thwart My efforts, but I have not given up on them; as often as them as they turn to Me, I hurry to their aid, shielding them with My mercy, and I give them the first place in My compassionate Heart."

-Diary, 1682

a single drop

"Look into My Heart and see there the love and mercy which I have for humankind, and especially for sinners. Look, and enter into My Passion. … See how little you have written about it; it is only a single drop."

-Diary, 1563-65

Day of Mercy

"In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. … Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy."

-Diary, 1588

trust

"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. … I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is my desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts."
