What is Divine Mercy?
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us - and, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and
asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to
extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.
C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon
our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive. Trust in Jesus is the essence of the
message of mercy. As Jesus said: “I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls
draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust.” (Diary, 1520).
