Diary of St. Faustina - 1316

Enormous indeed are the debts of the world which are due to Me; pure souls can pay them by their sacrifice, exercising mercy in spirit.

Words of Jesus to St. Faustina
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 1317

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy.

Diary of St. Faustina - 1446

“It should be of no concern to you how anyone else acts; you are to be My living reflection, through love and mercy”. I answered, Lord, but they often take advantage of my goodness. “That makes no difference, My daughter. That is no concern of yours. As for you, be always merciful toward other people, and especially toward sinners”.

Diary of St. Faustina -1768

Consider the love of neighbour. Is your love for your neighbour guided by My love? Do you pray for your enemies? Do you wish well to those who have, in one way or another, caused you sorrow or offended you? Know that whatever good you do to any soul, I accept it as if you had done it to Me.

Words of Jesus to St. Faustina
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 1628

“Have great love for those who cause you suffering. Do good to those who hate you”. I answered, ‘O my Master, You see very well that I feel no love for them, and that troubles me’. Jesus answered, “It is not always within your power to control your feelings. You will recognize that you have love if, after having experienced annoyance and contradiction, you do not lose your peace, but pray for those who have made you suffer and wish them well”.

Diary of St. Faustina - 1029

I saw the Lord Jesus, who said, “My daughter, you gave Me greater pleasure by rendering Me that service than if you had prayed for a long time”. I answered, But it was not to You, Jesus, but to that patient that I rendered this service. And the Lord answered me, “Yes, My daughter, but whatever you do for your neighbour, you do for Me”.

O Jesus, I ask You to make my heart so big that there will be room in it for the needs of all the souls living on the face of the earth. O Jesus, my love extends beyond the world, to the souls suffering in purgatory, and I want to exercise mercy toward them by means of indulgenced prayers. O my Jesus, I know that You act toward us as we act toward our neighbour.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 755

O my Jesus, teach me to open the bosom of mercy and love to everyone who asks for it. Jesus, my Commander, teach me so that all my prayers and deeds may bear the seal of Your mercy.
 
Diary of St. Faustina -1242

My Jesus, penetrate me through and through so that I might be able to reflect You in my whole life. Divinize me so that my deeds may have supernatural value. Grant that I may have love, compassion and mercy for every soul without exception.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 514

Jesus, make my heart unto Yours, or rather transform it into Your own Heart that I may sense the needs of other hearts, especially those who are sad and suffering. May the rays of mercy rest in my heart.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 163

I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbour.

Hi, Pete29. The two following articles give us an idea of what a pilgrimage is and why we go on a pilgrimage. I hope you will find them helpful.

Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbours’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 163

Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbours’ souls and come to their rescue.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 1241

O my Jesus, it is difficult enough to bear this kind of suffering: that which I experience when someone exhibits kindness towards me and then lays snares at my feet at every step I take. What great willpower is necessary to love such a soul for God’s sake.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 692

O Jesus, I understand that Your mercy is beyond all imagining, and therefore I ask You to make my heart so big that there will be room in it for the needs of all the souls living on the face of the earth. O Jesus, my love extends beyond the world, to the souls suffering in purgatory, and I want to exercise mercy toward them by means of indulgenced prayers.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 163

Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbour, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.
 
Diary of St. Faustina - 1313

I understand that mercy is manifold; one can do good always and everywhere and at all times. An ardent love of God sees all around itself constant opportunities to share itself through deed, word and prayer.
