Mercy Minutes (from Saint Faustina’s Diary)

February 28 ~ Fortify the Powers of My Soul

Theme:  Misery

“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.” (Mercy Minutes/Diary, 1570b)

“Jesus, fortify the powers of my soul that the enemy gain nothing. Without You, I am weakness itself. What am I without Your grace if not an abyss of my own misery? Misery is my possession.” (Mercy Minutes/Diary, 1630)

“I fly to Your mercy, Compassionate God, who alone are good. Although my misery is great, and my offenses are many, I trust in Your mercy, because You are the God of mercy; and, from time immemorial, it has never been heard of, nor do heaven or earth remember, that a soul trusting in Your mercy has been disappointed.” (Mercy Minutes/Diary, 1730)
