Mercy Minutes (from Saint Faustina’s Diary)

August 12 ~ I Incessantly Plead God’s Mercy for Sinners

Theme:  Sin, Sinners

[Note: This passage from Saint Faustina’s Diary is a continuation of her entry describing her visit to and description of Hell]

“I, Sister Faustina, by the order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have received a command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God.

“What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell. When I came to, I could hardly recover from the fright. How terribly souls suffer there! Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the conversion of sinners. I incessantly plead God’s mercy upon them.” (Mercy Minutes/Diary, 741)

“You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy.” (Mercy Minutes/Diary, 793)
