everyth<strong>in</strong>g with<strong>in</strong> your power. But write this for the many <strong>soul</strong>s who are often<br />

worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an<br />

act of <strong>mercy</strong>. Yet spiritual <strong>mercy</strong>, which requires neither permission nor<br />

storehouses, is much more meritorious and is with<strong>in</strong> the grasp of every <strong>soul</strong>. If a<br />

<strong>soul</strong> does not exercise <strong>mercy</strong> somehow or other, it will not obta<strong>in</strong> My <strong>mercy</strong> on the<br />

day of judgment. Oh, if only <strong>soul</strong>s knew how to gather eternal treasure for<br />

themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with<br />

their <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1318 (58) October 10, [1937]. O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, <strong>in</strong> thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g for Your many graces, I offer You<br />

<strong>my</strong> body and <strong>soul</strong>, <strong>in</strong>tellect and will, and all the sentiments of <strong>my</strong> heart. Through the<br />

vows, I have given <strong>my</strong>self entirely to You; I have then noth<strong>in</strong>g more than I can offer you.<br />

Jesus said to me, My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I<br />

probed deeply <strong>in</strong>to <strong>my</strong>self and found that I love God with all the faculties of <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong> and,<br />

unable to see what it was that I had not yet given to the Lord, I asked, “Jesus, tell me<br />

what it is, and I will give it to You at once with a generous heart.” Jesus said to me with<br />

k<strong>in</strong>dness, Daughter, give Me your misery, because it is your exclusive property. At<br />

that moment, a ray of light illum<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>, and I saw the whole abyss of <strong>my</strong> misery. In<br />

that same moment I nestled close to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with so much trust<br />

that even if I had the s<strong>in</strong>s of all the damned weigh<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>my</strong> conscience, I would not have<br />

doubted God‟s <strong>mercy</strong> (59) but, with a heart crushed to dust, I would have thrown <strong>my</strong>self<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the abyss of Your <strong>mercy</strong>. I believe, O Jesus, that you would not reject me, but would<br />

absolve me through the hand of Your representative.<br />

1319 You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for <strong>soul</strong>s, and the ocean of <strong>mercy</strong><br />

opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Div<strong>in</strong>e Mercy, envelop the<br />

whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.<br />

1320 At three o‟clock, implore My <strong>mercy</strong>, especially for s<strong>in</strong>ners; and, if only for a brief<br />

moment, immerse yourself <strong>in</strong> My Passion, particularly <strong>in</strong> My abandonment at the<br />

moment of agony. This is the hour of great <strong>mercy</strong> for the whole world. I will allow<br />

you to enter <strong>in</strong>to My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse noth<strong>in</strong>g to the <strong>soul</strong><br />

that makes a request of me <strong>in</strong> virtue of My Passion…….<br />

1321 Hail, most merciful Heart of Jesus,<br />

Liv<strong>in</strong>g Founta<strong>in</strong> of all graces,<br />

Our sole shelter, our only refuge;<br />

In You I have the light of hope.<br />

Hail, most compassionate Heart of <strong>my</strong> God,<br />

Unfathomable liv<strong>in</strong>g Fount of Love<br />

From which gushes life for s<strong>in</strong>ful man<br />

And the Spr<strong>in</strong>g of all sweetness.<br />

Hail, open Wound of the Most Sacred Heart,<br />

From which the rays of <strong>mercy</strong> issued forth<br />

And from which it was given us to draw life<br />

With the vessel of trust alone.<br />
