Jesus' words to Sister
Faustina:
When
you go to Confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water
which came forth from My
Heart always flow down upon your soul and ennoble it. Every time you go to
Confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that
I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the
confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only
hidden in the priest, but I Myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the
soul meets the God of mercy. Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls
draw graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great, there
is
no limit to My generosity. The torrents of grace inundate humble souls. The
proud remain always in poverty and misery, because My grace turns away from
them to humble souls. (1602)
Tell
souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of
Mercy. There the greatest
miracles take place (and) are incessantly repeated. To avail oneself of this
miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some
external ceremony; 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. Were a soul like a decaying corpse so that
from a human standpoint, there would be no (hope of) restoration and
everything would already be lost, it is not so with God. The miracle of Divine
Mercy restores that soul in full. Oh, how miserable are those who do not take
advantage of the miracle of God's mercy! You will call out in vain, but it
will be too late.
(1448)
