THE WORDS OF OUR LORD TO SISTER FAUSTINA.

18th February 22, 1931.....begins.
"Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the
signature: 'Jesus I trust in You'. I desire that this image
be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world.
"I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not
perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on
earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it
as My own glory.
"My image already is in your soul. I desire that there be a
Feast of Mercy. I want this image, which you will paint with a
brush, to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter;
that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy.
"I desire that Priests proclaim this great Mercy of Mine towards
souls of sinners. Let the sinner not be afraid to approach Me.
The flames of mercy are burning Me-clamoring to be spent; I want
to pour them out upon these souls.
"Distrust on the part of the souls is tearing at My insides. The
distrust of a chosen soul causes Me even greater pain; despite My
inexhaustible love for them, they do not trust Me. Even My death
is not enough for them. Woe to the soul that abuses these gifts.
"I will make this all clear (to the superiors) by means of the
graces which I will grant through this image.
"You are not living for yourself but for souls, and other souls
will profit from your sufferings. Your prolonged suffering will give
them the light and the strength to accept My Will.
"Write this: before I come as the Just Judge, I am coming first as
the King of Mercy. Before the day of Justice arrives, there will be
given to people a sign in the Heaven of this sort:
"All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be
a great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the Cross
will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and
feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which
will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place
shortly before the last day.
"Write down at once what you hear: I am the Lord in My essence
and am immune to orders or needs. If I call creatures into being-
that is the abyss of My mercy.
"Write that by day and by night My gaze is fixed upon him (one of
the Fathers) and I permit these adversities in order to increase
his merit. I do not reward for good results but for the patience
and hardship under gone for My sake.
"I am King of Mercy. I desire that this image be displayed on
the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy.
Through the word Incarnate I make known he bottomless depth of
My mercy.
"I am acting thus with him (one of the Fathers) to give Testimony
that this work is Mine. Tell him, not to fear anything: My gaze
is on him day and night. There will be as many crowns to form
his crown as there will be souls saved by this work. It is not
for the success of a work, but for the suffering that I give reward.
"Be at peace My daughter, it is precisely through such misery
that I want to show the power of My mercy.
"You are the delight of My Heart; from today on, everyone of your
acts, even the smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever
you do.
"In order that you may be assured that it is I who am demanding
all these things of you, I will give you such profound peace that
even if you wanted to feel troubled and frightened, it would not
be in your power to do so today, but love will flood your soul
to the point of self oblivion.
"Consider My sufferings before Pilate.
"My daughter. do not be afraid of sufferings; I am with you.
"My daughter, your sufferings will not last much longer.
"Know that if you neglect the matter of the painting of the image
and the whole work of mercy, you will have to answer for a multitude
of souls on the day of Judgement.
"My daughter, do not omit Holy Communion unless you know well that
your fall was serious; apart from this, no doubt must stop you from
uniting yourself with Me in the mystery of My love. Your minor
faults will disappear in My love like a piece of straw thrown into
a great furnace. Know that you grieve Me much when you fail to
receive Me in Holy Communion.
"My daughter, consider these words; 'And being in agony, he prayed
more earnestly."
"All this I created for you, My spouse, and know that all this
beauty is nothing compared to what I have prepared for you
in eternity.
"I desired to rest in your hands, not only in your heart.
"My child you are My delight, you are the comfort of My Heart.
I grant you as many graces as you can hold. As often as you
want to make Me happy, speak to the world about My great and
unfathomable mercy.
