Divine Mercy Part 22

13 September 1935

In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an Angel, the executor of divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing to his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which was about to strike the earth, and in particular a certain place, for good reasons I cannot name, I began to implore the angel to hold off for a few moments, and the world would do penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of the divine anger. Just then I saw the Most holy Trinity. The greatness of its majesty pierced me deeply, and i did not dare to repeat my entreaties. At that moment I felt in my soul the power of Jesus' grace, which dwells in my soul. When I became concious of this grace, I was instantly snatched up before the Throne of God. oh, how great is our lord and God and how incomprehensible his holiness! I will make no attempt to describe this greatness, because before long we shall see him as he is. I found myself pleading with God for the world with words heard interiorly.

As I was praying in this manner, I saw the Angel's helplessness: He could not carry out the just punishment which was rightly due for sins.Never before had I prayed with such inner power as I did then.The words with which I entreated God are these:

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved son, our Lord Jesus Christ for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us.

You will prepare the world for my final coming.

My daughter, have fear of nothing; I am always with you. All your adversaries will harm you only to the degree that I permit them to do so. You are my dwelling place and my constant repose. For your sake I will withhold the hand which punishes; for your sake I will bless the earth.

This encounter with the Lord happened on 12 May 1935.

In the evening,I was just about to go into bed, and I fell asleep immediately. Though I fell asleep quickly, I was awakened more quickly. A little child came and woke me up. the child seemed about a year old, and I was surprised it could speak so well, as children of that age either do not speak or speak very indistinctly. The child was beautiful beyond words and resembled the Child Jesus, and he said to me,

Look at the sky.

And when I looked at the sky I saw the stars and the moon shining. Then the child asked me,

Do you see this moon and the stars?

When I said yes, he spoke these words to me,

These stars are the souls of the faithful Christians, and the moon is the souls of religious. Do you see how great the difference is between the light of the moon and the light of the stars? Such is the difference in heaven between the soul of a religious and the soul of a faithful Christian.True greatness is in loving god and in humility.

Jesus spoke to to Saint Faustina on 28 April 1935 which was the Feast of the Divine Mercy.

This feast emerged from the very depths of my mercy and it is confirmed in the vast depths of my tender mercies. Every soul believing and trusting in my mercy will obtain it.

I fell asleep as soon I lay down, but at 11 o'çlock Satan shook my bed, I awoke instantly, and I started to pray peacfully to my Guardian angel. Then i saw the souls who were doing penance in purgatory. They appeared like shadows, and among them I saw many demons. One of these tried to vex me; taking the form of a cat, he kept throwing himslf onto my bed and on my feet, and he was quite heavy, as if[weighing]a ton.

I kept praying the rosary all the while, and toward dawn these things vanished, and I was able to get some sleep. When I entered the chapel in the morning I heard a voice in my soul,

You are united to me; fear nothing. But know, my child, that Satan hates you; he hates every soul, but he burns with a particular hatred for you, because you have snatched so many souls from his dominion

Who will proclaim my great mercy.I shall protect them myself at the hour of death, as my own glory. And even if the sins of soul are as dark as night, when the sinner turns to My mercy he gives me the greatest praise and is the glory of my passion. When a soul praises my goodness, Satan trembles before it and flees to the very bottom of hell.

With souls that have recourse to my mercy and with those that glorify and proclaim my great mercy to others, I will deal according to my infinite mercy at the hour of their death.

My heart is sorrowful, because even chosen souls do not understand the greatness of my mercy. Their relationship[with me] is, in certain ways, imbued with mistrust. Oh, how much that wounds my heart! Remember my passion, and if you do not believe my words, at least believe my wounds.

There is more merit to one hour of meditation on my sorrowful passion than here is to a whole year of flagellation that draws blood; the contemplation of my painful wounds is of great profit to you, and it brings me great joy. I am surprised that you still have not completely renounced your self-will, but I rejoice exceedingly that this change will be accomplished during the retreat.
