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 of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, 1570)
