conversation with a despairing soul

"My child, all your sins have not wounded My Heart as painfully as your present lack of trust does—that after so many efforts of My love and mercy, you still doubt My goodness…What joy fills My Heart when you return to Me. 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

loss of soul

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

-Diary, 1397

not fear

"…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."
-Diary, 1275

fortunate

The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I Myself take care of it.
-Diary, 1273

no one have I excluded!

"On the cross, the fountain of my mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls—no one have I excluded!"

-Diary, 1182

door of mercy

"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…"

-Diary, 1146

place trust in My mercy

"Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy… 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."
-Diary, 1146

accept my mercy

"The flames of mercy are burning Me. I desire to pour them out upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them!"
-Diary, 1074

have no fear

"Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach me, for even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the immeasurable depths of my mercy."
-Diary, 1059

Pray

"Pray for souls that they be not afraid to approach the tribunal of My mercy…Relieve My deathly sorrow; dispense My mercy."
