DIVINE MERCY


I wonder
What Jesus would say today
If Jesus could see our 5o’clock news

Where person after person
Is criticizing each other
Where person after person
And/or all of society
Is trying to take another person down

The truth is
I know what he would say
And you do too
Because in fact—he said it:

“Do not judge
Or you will be judged
And in the same way
You judge others
You will be judged
And the measure you use
It will be measured to you”                                          Matthew 7:1&2

And in Luke 6:36—Jesus says:

“Be merciful—just as your father is merciful”

On October 5th, 1938
A young religious
By the name of Sister Faustina ( Helen Kowalska )
Died at Our Lady of Mercy in Cracow, Poland

She had had only 3 years
Of very simple education
And her tasks in the convent
Were very very menial
Usually in the kitchen or the garden

In repeated revelations to Sister Faustina
Jesus’ message to her was
“To trust in him” 

To trust
In the Divine nature
Of his heart

On February 22nd, 1931
Our Lord and Savior appeared to Sister Faustina
Bringing with him
A wonderful message of mercy
For ALL of mankind

Jesus I trust in you
Mercy not judgment

Mercy for us all
If we believe

He told Sister Faustina:

“Mankind will not enjoy peace
Until it turns in confidence
To My Mercy”

Mercy for us all
If we lay our lives
And our failings
If we lay them down
At the foot of the cross
And his Divine Heart

Return to God
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU
