for they shall obtain mercy."
Matthew 5:7
Remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life. Jude 1:21
Men of Mercy
These were men of mercy, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten; their prosperity will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance to their children's children. - Sirach 44:10-11
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12:1-2
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. - Hebrews 4:16
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. - Hebrews 12:4
Revelation to St. Faustina
Apostle of My mercy, proclaim to the whole world My unfathomable mercy.
St. Jerome
For the Lord is gracious and merciful and prefers the conversion of a sinner rather than his death. Patient and generous in his mercy, he does not give in to human impatience but is willing to wait a long time for our repentance.
St John Vianney
It is necessary, too, that we shun the occasions which have been the cause of sin. We must have recourse to fervent prayer, receive frequently and worthily the sacraments. He who does this will be sure to persevere.
It is only by sacrifice and suffering, offered as penance, that you will be able, by the grace of God, to convert sinners.
Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
The field of battle between God and Satan is the human soul. It is in the soul that the battle rages every moment of life. The soul must give free access to the Lord so that it may be fortified by Him in every repect and with all kinds of weapons; that His light may enlighten it to combat the darkness of error; that it may be clothed with Jesus Christ. To be clothed with Jesus Christ it is necessary to die to oneself. That which comes from Satan begins with calmness and ends in storm, indifference, and apathy.
Remember, that the devil has only one door by which to enter the soul: the will. There are secret or hidden doors. Temptations, discouragement, and unrest are the wares offered by the enemy. Remember this: if the devil makes noise, it is a sign that he is still outside and not yet within. That which must terrify us is his peace and concord within the human soul.
You died Jesus, but the source of life flowed out for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fountain of Life, immeasurable Divine Mercy, cover the world and empty yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water which flowed out from the Heart of Jesus as a Fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You.
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." (3x)
Amen.
Jesus, King of Mercy, we trust in You!
