I forget and rejoice at their return

trust

"The graces of my mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is – trust.

-Diary, 1578

handling temptation

Temptation gives you a chance to show Me your fidelity."

-Diary, 1560

throw as a child into the arms of its beloved mother

"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. … I delight particularly in a soul which has placed its trust in My goodness."

conversation with a despairing soul

Because you are weak, I take you in My arms and carry you to the home of My Father."

-Diary, 1486

glorify my mercy

"Come close to My wounds and draw from the Fountain of Life whatever your heart desires. Drink copiously from the Fountain of Life and you will not weary on your journey. Look at the splendours of My mercy and do not fear the enemies of your salvation. Glorify My mercy."

-Diary, 1485

Conversation with a sinful soul

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 the 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. Your misery has disappeared in the depths of My mercy…You will give Me pleasure if you hand over to Me all of your troubles and grief.

-Diary, 1485

Tribunal of 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 and are incessantly repeated. To avail oneself of this miracle, 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

place trust in My mercy

I demands from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbours always and everywhere....
