A PRAYER FOR DIVINE MERCY
"O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind
calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy - to Your
compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that
it cries out.
Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O
Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding,
Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know
that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You:
anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in
us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life
and at death's hour.
Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our
salvation's enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your
children, await Your final coming - that day known to You alone.
And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite
of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope:
Through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass
through to heaven (Diary 1570).
