Jesus: Daughter, when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy. The Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. L When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by 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 sols 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 always remain in poverty and misery, because My grace turns away from them to humble souls.
Jesus: Involuntary offenses [ sins ] of souls do not hinder My love for them or prevent Me from uniting Myself with them. But voluntary offenses, even the smallest, obstruct my graces, and I cannot lavish My gifts on such souls.
Jesus: Do not fight against a temptation by yourself, but disclose it to your confessor at once, and then the temptation will lose all its force. Do not lose your peace. Ask My Mother and the saints for help. Do not fear the struggles of the soul or any temptations. Have the certitude that I am looking at you and supporting you. By fighting bravely, you give Me great glory and you show me your fidelity.
Jesus: Daughter, give Me your misery. It is your exclusive property.
Faustina: I felt close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and trusted that even if I had all the sins of the damned weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God’s mercy but would have thrown myself into the abyss of Your mercy. I believe, my Jesus, that You would not reject me, but would absolve me through the hand of Your representative in the confessional.
Jesus: I desire to unite Myself with human souls. My daughter, when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces, which I want to give to the soul. But some souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things.
Faustina: O Everlasting Host, Jesus, you have enclosed Yourself in the Host, and hide there Your divinity and conceal Your beauty. You do this in order to give Yourself, whole and entire, to my soul, and in order not to terrify my soul with Your greatness.
Faustina: The Lord gave me to know all the malice of sin, and the ingratitude that is contained in it. I feel within my soul a great aversion for even the smallest sin. When I receive communion, the Eucharist brings me to a depth of union where my love and God’s love are fused together as one.
I will practice the three virtues recommended to me by the Mother of God: humility, purity and the love of God, accepting with profound submission to the will of God.
I have need of your sufferings to rescue souls.
Chosen souls are, in My hand, lights which I cast into the darkness of the world and with which I illumine it. As stars illumine the night, so chosen souls illumine the earth. The more perfect a soul is, the stronger and the more far-reaching is the light shed by it. It can be hidden and unknown, even to those closest to it, and yet its holiness is reflected in souls even to those closest to it, and yet its holiness is reflected in souls even to the most distant extremities of the world.
My heart is drawn there where my God is hidden. Where He dwells with us day and night, clothed in the White Host. He governs the whole world. He communes with souls.
My heart is drawn there where my God is hiding, where His love is immolated. But my heart senses that the living water is here. It is my living God, although a veil hides Him.
I greet You, Eternal Love, my Sweet Jesus, who have condescended to dwell in my heart. I salute you, glorious Godhead who have deigned to stoop to me, and out of love for me have so emptied Yourself as to assume the insignificant form of bread.
All the strength of my soul flows from the Blessed Sacrament. I spend all my free moments in conversation with Him. He is my Master.
Be obedient, be obedient to your confessor. I will give them light on how to direct you.
Merciful God, You lavish Your graces on us continuously. You make us fit to enter Your kingdom, and in Your goodness, You grant that human beings fill the places vacated by the ungrateful angels. Merciful God You turned your gaze away from the rebellious angels and turned it upon contrite man.
