My Mercy as a Defense

My daughter, tell souls that I am giving them My mercy as a defense. I Myself am fighting for them and am bearing the just anger of My Father (Diary, 1516).

Today before Holy Communion, the Lord said to me, My daughter, today talk openly to the superior [Mother Irene] about My mercy because, of all the superiors, she has taken the greatest part in proclaiming My mercy (Diary, 1519).

My Prayer Response:

Thank You, Jesus, that You give Your mercy as our defense in the battle of life — and that You Yourself are fighting for us. Help me to talk openly of Your mercy to others, not giving into discouragement.

Thursday, April 29  Proclaim My Mercy Do Not Be Discouraged

I heard a voice: Apostle of My mercy, proclaim to the whole world My unfathomable mercy. Do not be discouraged by the difficulties you encounter in proclaiming My mercy. These difficulties that affect you so painfully are needed for your sanctification and evidence that this work is Mine (Diary, 1142).

My Prayer Response:

Lord Jesus, do not let us apostles of Divine Mercy be discouraged by the difficulties we encounter, but may we rejoice in them because they are needed for our sanctification — it is all Your work. All for the glory of Your name, Merciful Savior.

Spread the Honor of My Mercy

Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. At that last hour, a soul has nothing with which to defend itself except My mercy. Happy is the soul that during its lifetime immersed itself in the Fountain of Mercy, because justice will have no hold on it (Diary, 1075).

My Prayer Response:

O my Jesus, immerse me and all promoters of Divine Mercy in the Fountain of Your mercy, the source of joy during our lifetime. Shield us through our entire lives as a tender mother does her infant.

Proclaim My Mercy
Special Devotion to 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!

My daughter, do whatever is within your power to spread devotion to My mercy. I will make up for what you lack. Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace (Diary, 1074).

My Prayer Response:

Lord Jesus, help me and all apostles of Divine Mercy to tell aching mankind of Your great desire to pour out Your mercy upon human souls and for them to snuggle close to Your merciful Heart.

I heard a voice within my soul. I am very pleased that you had not been talking with Me, but were making My goodness known to souls and rousing them to love Me (Diary, 404).

Tell the world about My mercy and My love (Diary, 1074).

My Prayer Response:

Dear Jesus, teach me and all apostles of Divine Mercy to tell the world about Your mercy and love — and rouse them to love You! May the whole world come to know of Your mercy.

Sunday, April 25     Proclaim My MercyThe Last Hope of Salvation

I heard a voice in my soul: These words are for you. Do all you possibly can for this work of My mercy. I desire that My mercy be worshiped, and I am giving mankind the last hope of salvation; that is, recourse to My mercy. My Heart rejoices in this feast. After these words, I understood that nothing can dispense me from the obligation which the Lord demands from me (Diary, 998).

My Prayer Response:

Lord Jesus, help me and all souls to worship Your mercy and to have recourse to Your mercy as the last hope of salvation for mankind.

Saturday, April 24  Proclaim My Mercy  Claiming Your Promise

During one of the adorations, Jesus promised me that: With souls that have recourse to My mercy and with those that glorify and proclaim My great mercy to others, I will deal according to My infinite mercy at the hour of their death (Diary, 379).

My Prayer Response:

Jesus, You promised to deal according to Your mercy with all who have recourse to Your mercy — those who glorify it and those who proclaim Your mercy to others. I claim Your promise for all those who are devoted to Your Divine Mercy!
