everyth<strong>in</strong>g for yourself and for others for the ask<strong>in</strong>g; it was the hour of grace for<br />

the whole world – <strong>mercy</strong> triumphed over justice.<br />

My daughter, try your best to make the Stations of the Cross <strong>in</strong> this hour,<br />

provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of<br />

the Cross, then at least step <strong>in</strong>to the chapel for a moment and adore, <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of <strong>mercy</strong>; and should you be unable to<br />

step <strong>in</strong>to the chapel, immerse yourself <strong>in</strong> prayer there where you happen to be, if<br />

only for a very brief <strong>in</strong>stant. I claim veneration for My <strong>mercy</strong> from every creature,<br />

but above all from you, s<strong>in</strong>ce it is to you that I have given the most profound<br />

understand<strong>in</strong>g of this <strong>my</strong>stery.<br />

1573 + O <strong>my</strong> God, I am overcome with great long<strong>in</strong>g for You today. Oh, noth<strong>in</strong>g else any<br />

longer occupies <strong>my</strong> heart. The earth no longer conta<strong>in</strong>s anyth<strong>in</strong>g for me. O Jesus, how<br />

strongly I feel this exile, how very prolonged it is for me! O death, messenger of God,<br />

when will you announce to me that longed-for moment, through which I will be united to<br />

<strong>my</strong> God forever?<br />

1574 (146) O <strong>my</strong> Jesus, may the last days of <strong>my</strong> exile be spent totally accord<strong>in</strong>g to Your<br />

most holy will. I unite <strong>my</strong> suffer<strong>in</strong>gs, <strong>my</strong> bitterness and <strong>my</strong> last agony itself to Your<br />

Sacred Passion; and I offer <strong>my</strong>self for the whole world to implore an abundance of<br />

God‟s <strong>mercy</strong> for <strong>soul</strong>s, and <strong>in</strong> particular for the <strong>soul</strong>s who are <strong>in</strong> our homes. I firmly trust<br />

and commit <strong>my</strong>self entirely to Your holy will, which is <strong>mercy</strong> itself. Your <strong>mercy</strong> will be<br />

everyth<strong>in</strong>g for me at the last hour, as You Yourself have promised me…..<br />

1575 + Hail to You, Eternal Love, <strong>my</strong> Sweet Jesus, who have condescended to dwell <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong><br />

heart! I salute You, O glorious Godhead who have deigned to stoop to me, and out of<br />

love for me have so emptied Yourself as to assume the <strong>in</strong>significant form of bread. I<br />

salute You, Jesus, never-fad<strong>in</strong>g flower of humanity. You are all there is for <strong>my</strong> <strong>soul</strong>.<br />

Your love is purer than a lily, and Your presence is more pleas<strong>in</strong>g to me than the<br />

fragrance of a hyac<strong>in</strong>th. Your friendship is more tender (147) and subtle than the scent<br />

of a rose, and yet it is stronger than death. O Jesus, <strong>in</strong>comprehensible beauty, it is with<br />

pure <strong>soul</strong>s that You communicate best, because they alone are capable of heroism and<br />

sacrifice. O sweet, rose-red blood of Jesus, ennoble <strong>my</strong> blood and change it <strong>in</strong>to Your<br />

own blood, and let this be done to me accord<strong>in</strong>g to Your good pleasure.<br />

1576 Know, My daughter, that between Me and you there is a bottomless abyss, an<br />

abyss which separates the Creator from the creature. But this abyss is filled with<br />

My <strong>mercy</strong>. I raise you up to Myself, not that I have need of you, but it is solely out<br />

of <strong>mercy</strong> that I grant you the grace of union with Myself.<br />

1577 Tell <strong>soul</strong>s not to place with<strong>in</strong> their own hearts obstacles to My <strong>mercy</strong>, which so<br />

greatly wants to act with<strong>in</strong> them. My <strong>mercy</strong> works <strong>in</strong> all those hearts which open<br />

their doors to it. Both the s<strong>in</strong>ner and the righteous person have need (148) of My<br />

<strong>mercy</strong>. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />

1578 Let <strong>soul</strong>s who are striv<strong>in</strong>g for perfection particularly adore My <strong>mercy</strong>, because the<br />

abundance of graces which I grant them flows from My <strong>mercy</strong>. I desire that these<br />

<strong>soul</strong>s dist<strong>in</strong>guish themselves by boundless trust <strong>in</strong> My <strong>mercy</strong>. I <strong>my</strong>self will attend<br />

to the sanctification of such <strong>soul</strong>s. I will provide them with everyth<strong>in</strong>g they will<br />
